00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:08.140
 We're reading the first 16 verses of chapter 4 of Ephesians, written by Paul who describes

00:00:08.140 --> 00:00:15.040
 himself as an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God and he describes the Ephesians

00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:18.719
 as the saints who are in Ephesus and are faithful in Christ Jesus.

00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.260
 So chapter 4, 1-16.

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:29.359
 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:36.920
 to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with

00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:43.480
 one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

00:00:43.480 --> 00:00:50.640
 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:59.340
 to your call, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all,

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.280
 all, and through all, and in all.

00:01:02.979 --> 00:01:08.200
 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift.

00:01:09.039 --> 00:01:15.640
 Therefore it says, when he ascended on high, he led a host of captives and he gave gifts

00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:16.239
 to men.

00:01:17.299 --> 00:01:23.879
 In saying he ascended, what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions,

00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:24.679
 the earth?

00:01:24.679 --> 00:01:32.399
 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill

00:01:32.399 --> 00:01:33.420
 all things.

00:01:34.099 --> 00:01:41.079
 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers to equip

00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:48.739
 the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to

00:01:48.739 --> 00:01:55.419
 the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the

00:01:55.419 --> 00:02:02.519
 measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children tossed

00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:09.799
 to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by

00:02:09.799 --> 00:02:12.120
 craftiness in deceitful schemes.

00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:19.740
 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the

00:02:19.740 --> 00:02:27.599
 head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with

00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:28.620
 which it is equipped.

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:36.719
 When each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.200
 May the Lord bless his word to our hearts and minds.

00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.659
 Hello, my name's Dave.

00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:45.740
 I'm one of the pastors here.

00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:48.860
 If you're visiting me today, a warm welcome to you.

00:02:50.219 --> 00:02:53.700
 Before we get underway, I've got to admit my disorganisation.

00:02:53.860 --> 00:02:55.939
 If you're following the outline, I've changed it.

00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.560
 Okay, so hopefully it doesn't confuse you.

00:02:59.580 --> 00:03:01.159
 Just one little change.

00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.920
 Halfway down the page, it's got four application questions.

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.860
 I'm going to be putting that at the start, where it should have been from the beginning,

00:03:08.860 --> 00:03:13.360
 but just so you don't get lost and I lose you at the very beginning of the sermon.

00:03:14.500 --> 00:03:17.280
 All right, why don't we pray as we come to God's word.

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:34.300
 Lord, we know that you love your church, not because inherently we are lovely,

00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:39.099
 but because you are a loving God and you have loved us.

00:03:39.099 --> 00:03:43.939
 And you, by your son, created the church.

00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.819
 And by your spirit, you are renewing us.

00:03:47.019 --> 00:03:49.620
 And you have promised to complete what you have begun.

00:03:50.459 --> 00:03:54.699
 So, Lord, help us see the church, see who we are,

00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:57.840
 see your agenda for us through your eyes,

00:03:58.459 --> 00:04:01.479
 so that we might live in a way that honours you.

00:04:02.079 --> 00:04:05.319
 So I pray that your word would speak to us this morning.

00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:06.959
 In Jesus' name, amen.

00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:07.040
 Amen.

00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:16.259
 Well, I want to start with a quote by a guy called Tristan Harris.

00:04:16.860 --> 00:04:29.519
 He worked at Google and he's behind a Netflix kind of docudrama thing about social media.

00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:30.860
 It's called The Social Dilemma.

00:04:31.060 --> 00:04:32.000
 I don't know if you've seen it.

00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.100
 If you haven't seen it, I'd highly recommend it

00:04:35.100 --> 00:04:38.520
 because I'm not going to be able to explain it fully up here.

00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:44.160
 But now this docudrama, it's been translated into over 190 languages.

00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:48.520
 A hundred million people seem to have watched it, I think.

00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:51.879
 So it's got some, it's worth listening to.

00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.360
 Here's the quote.

00:04:56.219 --> 00:05:02.860
 We are now years into a mass societal warping process

00:05:02.860 --> 00:05:07.819
 that has made us into a different kind of species, frankly.

00:05:07.819 --> 00:05:22.779
 A species that is addicted, distracted, polarised, narcissistic, misinformed.

00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:25.719
 The list keeps going.

00:05:26.719 --> 00:05:33.399
 Anxious, depressed, unsure of what's true, apathetic.

00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.699
 Well, okay.

00:05:36.939 --> 00:05:39.399
 If even half of that quote is true,

00:05:40.679 --> 00:05:48.219
 we need to have a look at how the digital world is affecting us as a church family

00:05:48.219 --> 00:05:50.379
 and how we live to honour the Lord.

00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:56.479
 So today we look at the topic of being the church in a digital age.

00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:00.259
 And this is the start of four weeks on four topics

00:06:00.259 --> 00:06:05.120
 that have the potential to undermine us being the church.

00:06:05.960 --> 00:06:09.920
 We'll either succumb to our culture or these four topics,

00:06:10.460 --> 00:06:14.420
 if we see the church through God's eyes and live as he calls us to,

00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:19.780
 these four topics also give us an opportunity to show the world a better way,

00:06:21.060 --> 00:06:25.680
 an alternative, the good life in belonging to God's people.

00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.939
 With any truth, knowing the theory is essential.

00:06:31.100 --> 00:06:32.720
 It's essential to have good doctrine.

00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:36.620
 And we've had five weeks now of looking at the truth in God's word.

00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:44.400
 But we don't glorify God by being able to frequently and passionately just say truth.

00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.020
 That's not how we glorify God.

00:06:46.220 --> 00:06:48.759
 We glorify God, obviously we need to say truth,

00:06:48.900 --> 00:06:53.700
 but we glorify God when that truth groups our hearts and changes the way we live.

00:06:53.699 --> 00:06:58.240
 I can say I believe in God's sovereignty, for instance,

00:06:58.500 --> 00:06:59.800
 until the cows come home.

00:07:00.060 --> 00:07:03.019
 And I do and I hope I do for the rest of my life.

00:07:03.860 --> 00:07:09.099
 But do I accept every circumstance as coming from the sovereign hand of God

00:07:09.100 --> 00:07:10.600
 or do I rally against it?

00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.400
 Do I pray as my first instinct because I know he is sovereign?

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:17.100
 Do you get what I mean?

00:07:17.180 --> 00:07:22.620
 Knowing the truth and it gripping you to the point of change, that's what matters.

00:07:22.740 --> 00:07:24.580
 And that's why we've picked these four topics,

00:07:24.579 --> 00:07:30.259
 because as elders we think this could really either undermine

00:07:30.259 --> 00:07:35.899
 or make the church flourish depending on how we approach these topics.

00:07:36.019 --> 00:07:39.879
 So today, I've already introduced it, is about being the church in the digital age.

00:07:40.659 --> 00:07:45.899
 And the next three is going to be being the church in an individualistic culture.

00:07:45.899 --> 00:07:52.599
 And the third one is being the church in a hostile society.

00:07:53.259 --> 00:07:57.739
 And then we'll finish off with being the church in light of our eternal hope.

00:07:58.939 --> 00:08:00.039
 So that's where we're heading.

00:08:03.339 --> 00:08:07.519
 So before we get into this, or it's not before,

00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:13.799
 an important first step of getting into this topic is to refresh ourselves

00:08:13.799 --> 00:08:20.779
 in knowing what the church is and what we are called to be through God's eyes.

00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:25.639
 That the church is to be a foretaste of heaven.

00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:35.379
 So through God's eyes, we see that the church is central to his eternal plans.

00:08:35.379 --> 00:08:39.639
 We see in Genesis 2, albeit a community of two people,

00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:44.720
 but gathered perfectly in worship, enjoying God's presence,

00:08:45.259 --> 00:08:49.840
 until sin disrupts that, breaks that unity,

00:08:50.620 --> 00:08:54.299
 creating hostility between man and God, and God to man,

00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.159
 and hostility between people.

00:08:56.439 --> 00:08:58.139
 And the judgment is being scattered.

00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:02.200
 The essence of the word church is gathering.

00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:06.160
 God wants a gathered people to himself.

00:09:08.160 --> 00:09:14.620
 In Exodus 19, we see Israel gathered at the mountain under the law,

00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:17.720
 but that gathering fails again because of sin.

00:09:18.860 --> 00:09:22.220
 It was only a picture of the true gathering that would come through Jesus.

00:09:23.340 --> 00:09:26.080
 What does Jesus say in Matthew 16?

00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:30.860
 As soon as they say, you are the Christ, the first expression of faith,

00:09:31.379 --> 00:09:34.740
 he says, I'm going to build my church.

00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:35.660
 That's why I've come.

00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:38.940
 That's why I'm going to die and rise, to build my church.

00:09:40.139 --> 00:09:41.820
 And what do we see at the end of scripture?

00:09:42.780 --> 00:09:47.060
 The church, the bride, the new Jerusalem glorified.

00:09:47.860 --> 00:09:50.560
 The dwelling place with God and man.

00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:53.519
 It's central.

00:09:54.479 --> 00:09:57.779
 Church is absolutely central to God's eternal plans.

00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:07.139
 Through God's eyes, we understand this gathering is a spiritual reality.

00:10:08.319 --> 00:10:13.259
 The sin of living for self that has made us hostile to God

00:10:13.259 --> 00:10:17.979
 and has caused so much dysfunction between people has been conquered.

00:10:17.980 --> 00:10:26.519
 We see in Hebrews 12 that this new gathering in Christ is victorious over sin.

00:10:27.300 --> 00:10:28.960
 It's victorious over death.

00:10:30.420 --> 00:10:33.920
 It's marked by peace and unity and joy.

00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:38.600
 As we heard read in Ephesians 4,

00:10:39.100 --> 00:10:42.480
 it is so united with one body, one spirit,

00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:49.720
 one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all.

00:10:50.659 --> 00:10:52.740
 We are gathered into Christ.

00:10:53.779 --> 00:10:55.659
 We're not isolated Christians.

00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.159
 To be saved is to be gathered.

00:11:02.500 --> 00:11:04.519
 And this gathering is permanent.

00:11:05.659 --> 00:11:07.720
 This spiritual gathering is permanent.

00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.940
 We saw that in Hebrews 12, that when God judges and shakes everything,

00:11:12.060 --> 00:11:14.940
 heaven and earth, the final judgment, what is left standing?

00:11:15.379 --> 00:11:16.840
 Nothing but the church.

00:11:19.019 --> 00:11:20.160
 It is permanent.

00:11:21.800 --> 00:11:24.120
 That's where you find security in life.

00:11:26.379 --> 00:11:29.000
 But how is this gathering to be expressed now?

00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:33.220
 Well, through God's eyes, we see that this spiritual heavenly gathering

00:11:33.220 --> 00:11:37.700
 is not expressed in some vague notion of being the universal church

00:11:37.700 --> 00:11:39.860
 because, remember, church is about gathering.

00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:43.980
 It's in local church families like this one.

00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:48.580
 It's a functioning body showing the unity,

00:11:49.379 --> 00:11:51.259
 the peace that has been created.

00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:54.920
 I don't know who I'm quoting here.

00:11:55.420 --> 00:11:56.759
 Emma reminded me of this quote.

00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.200
 It's some Bible teacher, but I can't remember.

00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:05.680
 Can you be a Christian and not value and be committed to a local church?

00:12:06.460 --> 00:12:08.020
 Don't be a silly sausage.

00:12:09.280 --> 00:12:10.020
 I don't know.

00:12:10.160 --> 00:12:12.220
 Anyway, if that helps you, maybe.

00:12:13.700 --> 00:12:15.520
 There's nothing in the Bible about that.

00:12:16.400 --> 00:12:19.400
 To be gathered is to be in the local church.

00:12:19.740 --> 00:12:20.900
 That's how you express it.

00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:23.379
 Know who you are.

00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:27.720
 I'm going to say in a way that doesn't make sense

00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:28.920
 and technically isn't correct,

00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:30.659
 I am the church.

00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:32.799
 I know that doesn't make sense.

00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:33.779
 It's not correct.

00:12:33.959 --> 00:12:34.679
 We are the church.

00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:36.699
 But you're not just part of the church.

00:12:37.059 --> 00:12:40.459
 It's the fundamental thing about who you are.

00:12:41.419 --> 00:12:42.979
 We are the people of God.

00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.039
 It's not just you attend church.

00:12:46.139 --> 00:12:46.799
 You are the church.

00:12:46.899 --> 00:12:47.919
 We are the church.

00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:52.479
 We express that locally.

00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:55.099
 Being gathered.

00:12:57.439 --> 00:12:59.419
 Not choosing who you relate to,

00:12:59.539 --> 00:13:02.740
 but it's a community created by grace.

00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.079
 Across ages, across personalities, across cultures.

00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:14.040
 It's everyone who's been saved and under the lordship of Jesus.

00:13:14.920 --> 00:13:17.340
 That's what the local church is to express.

00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.960
 And through God's eyes, we see our agenda,

00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:26.360
 what we're called to do as the church.

00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:30.279
 And it's not primarily about social welfare,

00:13:31.460 --> 00:13:33.759
 though individual Christians might do all these things.

00:13:34.220 --> 00:13:35.899
 It's not about being a moral watchdog

00:13:35.899 --> 00:13:37.560
 to try and make Australia Christian.

00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:42.139
 It's not about living separate from society

00:13:42.139 --> 00:13:43.580
 and just condemning society.

00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:47.560
 It's not even to be a functioning machine

00:13:47.560 --> 00:13:50.500
 to do as much evangelism as we can.

00:13:50.500 --> 00:13:54.879
 Our agenda in Scripture is to be.

00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:58.019
 Be the church.

00:13:58.620 --> 00:13:59.399
 Love one another.

00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:02.879
 That's how you'll show that you are my disciples.

00:14:06.539 --> 00:14:09.679
 Ephesians 3, 9 to 11 is a key passage.

00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:12.419
 It's through the church

00:14:12.419 --> 00:14:16.019
 that the manifold wisdom of God

00:14:16.019 --> 00:14:18.919
 might now be made known to the rules and authorities

00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:20.819
 in the heavenly places.

00:14:21.779 --> 00:14:25.120
 God is glorified in his unified church.

00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.399
 It's as we focus on being the church,

00:14:28.019 --> 00:14:31.659
 that's when we'll be a winsome invitation to the world.

00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:35.679
 Look what life is like being gathered to Jesus.

00:14:40.219 --> 00:14:41.740
 And through God's eyes,

00:14:42.099 --> 00:14:45.740
 we see that the structure of a healthy,

00:14:46.079 --> 00:14:47.839
 functioning body of a local church

00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:50.480
 is that Christ is head.

00:14:51.540 --> 00:14:52.500
 He is head,

00:14:52.660 --> 00:14:54.720
 ruling by his word

00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:56.780
 that can change our hearts

00:14:56.780 --> 00:14:58.080
 by his spirit.

00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:01.940
 And he gives leaders to teach

00:15:01.940 --> 00:15:02.680
 and model

00:15:02.680 --> 00:15:03.700
 and govern

00:15:03.700 --> 00:15:06.519
 in order,

00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:08.139
 we see in Ephesians 4,

00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:09.200
 in order,

00:15:09.580 --> 00:15:10.320
 what verse is it?

00:15:10.580 --> 00:15:11.420
 Verse 12.

00:15:11.419 --> 00:15:14.620
 To equip the saints.

00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:16.299
 You are a saint if you're a believer.

00:15:16.299 --> 00:15:19.620
 A saint is being set apart for God.

00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:24.860
 The leaders are to equip all the people

00:15:24.860 --> 00:15:26.559
 for the work of ministry,

00:15:26.979 --> 00:15:28.539
 for building up the body of Christ.

00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:29.839
 Every person in ministry.

00:15:29.959 --> 00:15:31.379
 The priests would have all believers.

00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:34.719
 Verse 15 tells us what to do.

00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.379
 We're all to be speaking the truth in love.

00:15:37.379 --> 00:15:41.939
 Verse 16.

00:15:44.259 --> 00:15:47.439
 It's a bit of a complex statement,

00:15:47.659 --> 00:15:47.799
 but it's,

00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:49.779
 so Christ is the head,

00:15:49.860 --> 00:15:51.500
 but from whom the whole body,

00:15:52.299 --> 00:15:54.759
 and then what does the whole body do?

00:15:55.019 --> 00:15:57.240
 You've got to jump to a few phrases.

00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:00.220
 The whole body makes the body grow.

00:16:01.059 --> 00:16:02.919
 So it's not the leader's job

00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:04.120
 to make the body grow.

00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:06.039
 It's the body's job

00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:07.320
 to make the body grow.

00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:09.980
 Through every joint and ligament,

00:16:10.259 --> 00:16:11.720
 we need everyone

00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.679
 speaking the truth in love.

00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.399
 The truth being God's truth.

00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:22.840
 That's when the body grows.

00:16:24.700 --> 00:16:26.820
 That's when we'll be a compelling witness

00:16:26.820 --> 00:16:29.600
 of the salvation in Jesus.

00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:30.440
 So,

00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:36.580
 through God's eyes,

00:16:37.139 --> 00:16:37.980
 what do you think?

00:16:39.740 --> 00:16:41.340
 Can you see that church

00:16:41.340 --> 00:16:42.920
 is a foretaste of heaven?

00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:47.980
 If we understand our salvation

00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:49.840
 is to be the church,

00:16:50.580 --> 00:16:53.040
 if we understand our calling

00:16:53.040 --> 00:16:56.180
 is primarily about being the church,

00:16:56.179 --> 00:16:59.039
 if you're looking forward to heaven,

00:17:00.199 --> 00:17:02.759
 which is about the church glorified

00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:04.119
 in the presence of God,

00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:08.460
 what will that look like?

00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:11.059
 It will look like a high value

00:17:11.059 --> 00:17:12.539
 and a high engagement

00:17:12.539 --> 00:17:13.519
 in a local church.

00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:19.799
 So,

00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:23.339
 having refreshed ourselves

00:17:23.339 --> 00:17:24.819
 on God's view of the church,

00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:26.299
 and it's exciting,

00:17:27.460 --> 00:17:29.220
 it's well worth our time

00:17:29.220 --> 00:17:30.599
 going over that.

00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:33.660
 We need to keep this lens

00:17:33.660 --> 00:17:34.779
 as we come to this question

00:17:34.779 --> 00:17:36.139
 about being the church

00:17:36.139 --> 00:17:37.519
 in a digital age.

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:38.700
 Now, by digital,

00:17:39.220 --> 00:17:40.400
 let me just define it quickly.

00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:43.780
 Like, I had a digital wristwatch

00:17:43.780 --> 00:17:44.340
 as a kid,

00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:46.040
 and it had this cool button

00:17:46.040 --> 00:17:46.980
 that could light up,

00:17:47.340 --> 00:17:48.580
 and I could read the time at night.

00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:49.840
 Now,

00:17:50.019 --> 00:17:51.300
 that electronic device

00:17:51.300 --> 00:17:52.400
 hardly revolutionised

00:17:53.320 --> 00:17:54.480
 the world,

00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:55.400
 and hardly impacted

00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:58.360
 the gathering.

00:17:59.320 --> 00:17:59.820
 But,

00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:01.019
 the age of the internet,

00:18:01.420 --> 00:18:03.100
 and the age of social media,

00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:05.400
 that has revolutionised

00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:07.900
 how we relate to one another,

00:18:08.340 --> 00:18:09.019
 how we think.

00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:14.720
 I've got to narrow our focus,

00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:15.500
 and I've,

00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:16.900
 even the two topics

00:18:16.900 --> 00:18:18.440
 I've narrowed it to,

00:18:19.060 --> 00:18:19.560
 really,

00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:19.940
 we're just,

00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:22.900
 it's a helicopter view

00:18:22.900 --> 00:18:23.580
 of these topics,

00:18:23.740 --> 00:18:23.880
 but,

00:18:24.460 --> 00:18:26.040
 the first one is,

00:18:26.280 --> 00:18:27.920
 can you do church online?

00:18:29.259 --> 00:18:29.800
 That's kind of,

00:18:29.800 --> 00:18:30.660
 an obvious question,

00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:30.940
 isn't it?

00:18:30.980 --> 00:18:32.519
 Can we do church online?

00:18:35.700 --> 00:18:36.140
 Obviously,

00:18:36.300 --> 00:18:37.340
 churches are trying to do that,

00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:37.560
 but,

00:18:37.700 --> 00:18:38.340
 can we?

00:18:38.339 --> 00:18:40.699
 The second question is,

00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:42.579
 obviously my introduction

00:18:42.579 --> 00:18:44.199
 hinted towards this,

00:18:44.879 --> 00:18:46.619
 how is social media

00:18:46.619 --> 00:18:48.279
 affecting

00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:49.759
 how we think about

00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:51.319
 relationships in the church,

00:18:51.379 --> 00:18:52.399
 and how we operate

00:18:52.399 --> 00:18:53.539
 in the church?

00:18:54.699 --> 00:18:55.139
 So,

00:18:55.199 --> 00:18:55.679
 that's where we're heading.

00:18:55.859 --> 00:18:56.480
 Let's go with

00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:57.379
 the first one now.

00:18:57.500 --> 00:18:57.599
 So,

00:18:57.679 --> 00:18:57.839
 first,

00:18:57.919 --> 00:18:59.500
 can you do church online?

00:18:59.500 --> 00:19:02.180
 Well,

00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:06.539
 some claim to get better sermons online.

00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:07.759
 I don't think that's true.

00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:08.680
 David and I,

00:19:09.180 --> 00:19:10.720
 I think we're the best

00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:11.519
 I've ever heard.

00:19:15.859 --> 00:19:16.900
 I'm glad you're laughing.

00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:20.039
 Am I glad?

00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:22.299
 I don't know.

00:19:23.579 --> 00:19:25.319
 Some claim to get better music

00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:26.460
 online.

00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:27.619
 Now,

00:19:28.819 --> 00:19:29.940
 one of the,

00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:30.200
 so,

00:19:30.399 --> 00:19:31.000
 in other words,

00:19:31.659 --> 00:19:32.460
 when you tap into

00:19:32.460 --> 00:19:33.500
 the best resources,

00:19:33.819 --> 00:19:34.539
 you,

00:19:34.539 --> 00:19:35.339
 you come away

00:19:35.339 --> 00:19:36.339
 feeling more

00:19:36.339 --> 00:19:37.460
 spiritually nourished.

00:19:40.019 --> 00:19:40.460
 So,

00:19:40.579 --> 00:19:41.099
 one of the best

00:19:41.099 --> 00:19:42.339
 examples of online church

00:19:42.339 --> 00:19:43.059
 I came across,

00:19:43.399 --> 00:19:43.839
 they put,

00:19:44.139 --> 00:19:44.799
 this church put

00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:46.159
 heaps of resources,

00:19:46.420 --> 00:19:46.599
 like,

00:19:46.779 --> 00:19:47.259
 our camera,

00:19:47.399 --> 00:19:48.779
 we've got cameras for Zoom,

00:19:48.779 --> 00:19:49.019
 but,

00:19:49.379 --> 00:19:49.879
 I mean,

00:19:49.940 --> 00:19:50.339
 these are like

00:19:50.339 --> 00:19:51.279
 state-of-the-art cameras

00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:51.700
 so that,

00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:53.299
 and all the lighting

00:19:53.299 --> 00:19:54.019
 and the sound

00:19:54.019 --> 00:19:54.920
 is mixed properly

00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:56.139
 so that it feels

00:19:56.139 --> 00:19:56.819
 like you're present.

00:19:58.059 --> 00:19:59.059
 They had dedicated

00:19:59.059 --> 00:19:59.980
 online pastors

00:19:59.980 --> 00:20:01.139
 to welcome people

00:20:01.139 --> 00:20:02.720
 and engage people

00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:03.460
 in conversation

00:20:03.460 --> 00:20:05.059
 and they had chat rooms

00:20:05.059 --> 00:20:06.059
 for general chit-chat.

00:20:06.180 --> 00:20:07.160
 They had other chat rooms

00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:08.279
 for pastors

00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:10.259
 to listen to you

00:20:10.259 --> 00:20:11.359
 and pray with you

00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:12.299
 after the service.

00:20:14.180 --> 00:20:15.240
 These are often churches

00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:16.859
 with multiple campus sites

00:20:16.859 --> 00:20:17.879
 and they say that

00:20:17.879 --> 00:20:18.759
 we've got an online

00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:19.640
 online campus,

00:20:19.740 --> 00:20:20.579
 we've got an online

00:20:20.579 --> 00:20:21.559
 congregation

00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:22.480
 and sometimes

00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:23.420
 these congregations,

00:20:23.740 --> 00:20:24.640
 these are thousands

00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:25.140
 of people.

00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:27.379
 They're reaching

00:20:27.379 --> 00:20:28.440
 a lot of people.

00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:30.000
 Now,

00:20:30.059 --> 00:20:30.680
 let's just assume

00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:32.299
 there is great

00:20:32.299 --> 00:20:33.140
 Bible teaching

00:20:33.140 --> 00:20:33.539
 at these.

00:20:34.220 --> 00:20:35.339
 Let's assume all that

00:20:35.339 --> 00:20:37.559
 and it feels

00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:38.200
 like attending.

00:20:38.460 --> 00:20:39.079
 The quality

00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:40.039
 of the service

00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:40.720
 and the singing

00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:41.559
 and the music,

00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:42.660
 it just feels

00:20:42.660 --> 00:20:43.660
 personally encouraging.

00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:45.839
 Can you do church

00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:46.319
 online?

00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:52.779
 I've been a bit sneaky

00:20:52.779 --> 00:20:54.839
 in the way

00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:55.319
 I've framed

00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:55.960
 that question.

00:20:57.700 --> 00:20:59.339
 Partly to demonstrate,

00:20:59.559 --> 00:20:59.799
 I think,

00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:01.179
 it is so easy

00:21:01.179 --> 00:21:02.019
 to leave

00:21:02.019 --> 00:21:02.700
 God's view

00:21:02.700 --> 00:21:03.619
 of church behind

00:21:03.619 --> 00:21:04.299
 when you start

00:21:04.299 --> 00:21:05.240
 asking these questions.

00:21:05.399 --> 00:21:06.480
 Can you do church

00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:06.839
 online?

00:21:07.700 --> 00:21:08.379
 You've already

00:21:08.379 --> 00:21:09.359
 made a misstep

00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:11.039
 as if it's about

00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:11.539
 attending,

00:21:11.980 --> 00:21:12.599
 a service.

00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:14.879
 can you be

00:21:14.879 --> 00:21:15.519
 church

00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:17.059
 online?

00:21:18.159 --> 00:21:19.219
 That's the question.

00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:21.000
 If church

00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:21.559
 is about

00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:22.119
 a worship

00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:22.839
 meeting

00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:24.279
 which provides

00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:24.799
 a spiritual

00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:25.480
 service

00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:26.759
 to the customers

00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:28.279
 to nourish

00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:29.219
 you individually

00:21:29.219 --> 00:21:29.959
 and as a family

00:21:29.959 --> 00:21:30.299
 then

00:21:30.299 --> 00:21:31.899
 attending

00:21:31.899 --> 00:21:32.659
 is all that matters.

00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:33.740
 But if it's

00:21:33.740 --> 00:21:34.559
 about being,

00:21:34.779 --> 00:21:35.240
 if God

00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:38.620
 is glorified

00:21:38.620 --> 00:21:39.220
 through just

00:21:39.220 --> 00:21:39.700
 numbers,

00:21:40.700 --> 00:21:41.220
 some of these

00:21:41.220 --> 00:21:41.539
 churches

00:21:41.539 --> 00:21:44.140
 they're glorifying

00:21:44.140 --> 00:21:44.779
 God way more

00:21:44.779 --> 00:21:45.380
 than we are

00:21:45.380 --> 00:21:47.019
 if it's just

00:21:47.019 --> 00:21:47.720
 about reaching

00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:48.079
 people.

00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:50.339
 But if God

00:21:50.339 --> 00:21:51.000
 is glorified

00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:52.519
 through unity

00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:54.400
 and true

00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:55.359
 interpersonal,

00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:57.599
 interdependent,

00:21:58.220 --> 00:21:59.039
 speaking the truth

00:21:59.039 --> 00:21:59.559
 in love,

00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:01.079
 community,

00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:03.619
 well,

00:22:03.980 --> 00:22:04.659
 I'm just

00:22:04.659 --> 00:22:04.839
 going to

00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:05.299
 phrase it

00:22:05.299 --> 00:22:06.439
 in a bunch

00:22:06.439 --> 00:22:07.039
 of questions.

00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:10.559
 How,

00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:12.059
 in what

00:22:12.059 --> 00:22:12.599
 sense

00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:13.679
 being online

00:22:13.679 --> 00:22:14.039
 are you

00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:14.419
 gathered?

00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:16.519
 Just,

00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:17.519
 in what

00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:17.899
 sense?

00:22:19.399 --> 00:22:20.079
 I suppose

00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:20.500
 there's some

00:22:20.500 --> 00:22:20.939
 level of

00:22:20.939 --> 00:22:21.439
 conversation.

00:22:23.059 --> 00:22:23.939
 How can

00:22:23.939 --> 00:22:24.839
 the diversity

00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:25.720
 in the body

00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:26.259
 of Christ

00:22:26.259 --> 00:22:27.059
 that crosses

00:22:27.059 --> 00:22:27.720
 ages

00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:29.119
 and crosses

00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:29.960
 cultures

00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:30.899
 and personalities

00:22:30.900 --> 00:22:32.080
 how can

00:22:32.080 --> 00:22:33.320
 that be

00:22:33.320 --> 00:22:34.200
 demonstrated,

00:22:34.340 --> 00:22:34.980
 the peace

00:22:34.980 --> 00:22:35.500
 that Jesus

00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:36.220
 has created

00:22:36.220 --> 00:22:36.700
 and the

00:22:36.700 --> 00:22:37.320
 common worship,

00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:38.500
 how is that

00:22:38.500 --> 00:22:38.980
 expressed

00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:39.620
 online?

00:22:42.420 --> 00:22:43.160
 Talk to me

00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:43.460
 afterwards

00:22:43.460 --> 00:22:44.180
 if you

00:22:44.180 --> 00:22:44.600
 can convince

00:22:44.600 --> 00:22:44.740
 me.

00:22:44.820 --> 00:22:45.060
 Obviously

00:22:45.060 --> 00:22:45.360
 you know

00:22:45.360 --> 00:22:45.660
 where I'm

00:22:45.660 --> 00:22:46.120
 going that

00:22:46.120 --> 00:22:46.620
 I don't

00:22:46.620 --> 00:22:47.280
 think you

00:22:47.280 --> 00:22:47.580
 can do

00:22:47.580 --> 00:22:47.960
 all these

00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:48.220
 things,

00:22:48.360 --> 00:22:49.680
 but I'm

00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:49.960
 not sure

00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:50.300
 you can

00:22:50.300 --> 00:22:51.360
 really

00:22:51.360 --> 00:22:51.860
 express

00:22:51.860 --> 00:22:52.200
 that.

00:22:54.340 --> 00:22:54.960
 Where is

00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:55.280
 good

00:22:55.280 --> 00:22:56.060
 accountability?

00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:57.000
 We're told

00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:57.519
 in Ephesians

00:22:57.519 --> 00:22:57.800
 4,

00:22:57.900 --> 00:22:58.180
 we're going

00:22:58.180 --> 00:22:58.400
 to be

00:22:58.400 --> 00:22:58.880
 tossed

00:22:58.880 --> 00:22:59.380
 to and

00:22:59.380 --> 00:22:59.700
 fro

00:22:59.700 --> 00:23:00.580
 if we're

00:23:00.579 --> 00:23:00.740
 not

00:23:00.740 --> 00:23:01.119
 speaking

00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:01.579
 the truth

00:23:01.579 --> 00:23:01.980
 in love

00:23:01.980 --> 00:23:02.480
 to one

00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:02.679
 another,

00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:03.460
 we will

00:23:03.460 --> 00:23:03.879
 be just

00:23:03.879 --> 00:23:04.500
 little

00:23:04.500 --> 00:23:04.919
 children

00:23:04.919 --> 00:23:05.439
 tossed

00:23:05.439 --> 00:23:05.819
 around

00:23:05.819 --> 00:23:06.119
 by the

00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:06.359
 world.

00:23:07.199 --> 00:23:07.619
 Where is

00:23:07.619 --> 00:23:07.759
 the

00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:08.259
 accountability

00:23:08.259 --> 00:23:09.259
 online?

00:23:09.379 --> 00:23:09.619
 If you

00:23:09.619 --> 00:23:09.980
 can just

00:23:09.980 --> 00:23:10.460
 choose

00:23:10.460 --> 00:23:10.799
 when to

00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:11.299
 tune in,

00:23:11.419 --> 00:23:11.939
 tune out,

00:23:12.539 --> 00:23:13.259
 how much

00:23:13.259 --> 00:23:13.659
 to say

00:23:13.659 --> 00:23:13.980
 about your

00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:14.359
 life.

00:23:15.299 --> 00:23:16.019
 It's a bit

00:23:16.019 --> 00:23:16.599
 harder to

00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:17.099
 keep life

00:23:17.099 --> 00:23:17.359
 hidden.

00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:20.659
 I've got

00:23:20.659 --> 00:23:21.099
 toothpaste

00:23:21.099 --> 00:23:21.960
 all over me

00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:22.419
 this morning

00:23:22.419 --> 00:23:23.039
 because of

00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:23.679
 getting out

00:23:23.679 --> 00:23:24.119
 this morning.

00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:24.639
 Someone might

00:23:24.639 --> 00:23:25.199
 notice that I've

00:23:25.199 --> 00:23:25.819
 obviously declared

00:23:25.819 --> 00:23:26.139
 that now.

00:23:28.539 --> 00:23:29.019
 Being

00:23:29.019 --> 00:23:29.339
 together,

00:23:29.460 --> 00:23:29.579
 there's

00:23:29.579 --> 00:23:29.839
 just,

00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:30.579
 I think,

00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:31.000
 a level

00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:31.500
 of you

00:23:31.500 --> 00:23:31.779
 can't

00:23:31.779 --> 00:23:32.179
 hide as

00:23:32.179 --> 00:23:32.879
 easily.

00:23:34.659 --> 00:23:35.279
 To be

00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:35.720
 accountable

00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:36.119
 to one

00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:36.379
 another.

00:23:40.179 --> 00:23:40.779
 How can

00:23:40.779 --> 00:23:41.119
 the body

00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:42.740
 sing to

00:23:42.740 --> 00:23:42.899
 one

00:23:42.899 --> 00:23:43.220
 another?

00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:47.759
 As

00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:48.399
 Colossians 3

00:23:48.399 --> 00:23:48.879
 tells us

00:23:48.879 --> 00:23:49.200
 to do.

00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:54.080
 I think

00:23:54.080 --> 00:23:54.759
 online it's

00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:55.400
 much easier

00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:55.860
 to hide

00:23:55.860 --> 00:23:56.059
 our

00:23:56.059 --> 00:23:56.519
 struggles

00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:58.620
 and our

00:23:58.620 --> 00:23:58.900
 sin.

00:24:00.259 --> 00:24:00.700
 Like how

00:24:00.700 --> 00:24:00.900
 do you

00:24:00.900 --> 00:24:01.220
 look a

00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:01.600
 brother in

00:24:01.600 --> 00:24:02.000
 the eye

00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:02.380
 who just

00:24:02.380 --> 00:24:02.880
 confess

00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:03.620
 their sin

00:24:03.620 --> 00:24:04.059
 to you

00:24:04.059 --> 00:24:05.220
 and before

00:24:05.220 --> 00:24:05.620
 you've even

00:24:05.620 --> 00:24:05.960
 said a

00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:06.279
 word,

00:24:06.420 --> 00:24:06.759
 just by

00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:07.220
 body

00:24:07.220 --> 00:24:07.779
 language,

00:24:08.819 --> 00:24:09.440
 they already

00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:10.340
 are sensing

00:24:10.340 --> 00:24:12.559
 that they're

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:13.080
 not condemned

00:24:13.080 --> 00:24:13.539
 by you.

00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:14.360
 How can

00:24:14.360 --> 00:24:14.860
 you express

00:24:14.860 --> 00:24:15.100
 that?

00:24:15.100 --> 00:24:15.880
 I'm not

00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:16.220
 sure you

00:24:16.220 --> 00:24:16.539
 can do

00:24:16.539 --> 00:24:17.860
 that well

00:24:17.860 --> 00:24:18.279
 online.

00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:20.299
 How do

00:24:20.299 --> 00:24:21.080
 you give

00:24:21.080 --> 00:24:21.559
 that person

00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:21.980
 a hug?

00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:22.920
 How do

00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:23.420
 you hold

00:24:23.420 --> 00:24:23.920
 the hand

00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:24.180
 of a

00:24:24.180 --> 00:24:24.440
 dying

00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:24.900
 person

00:24:24.900 --> 00:24:25.299
 while you

00:24:25.299 --> 00:24:25.660
 pray for

00:24:25.660 --> 00:24:25.799
 them?

00:24:29.220 --> 00:24:29.960
 How do

00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:30.480
 you relate

00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:31.400
 online at

00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:31.920
 a depth

00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:32.600
 where it

00:24:32.600 --> 00:24:33.640
 is extremely

00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:34.480
 difficult to

00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:34.860
 maintain

00:24:34.860 --> 00:24:35.539
 peace?

00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:37.840
 Because

00:24:37.840 --> 00:24:38.940
 you're so

00:24:38.940 --> 00:24:39.299
 in each

00:24:39.299 --> 00:24:39.600
 other's

00:24:39.600 --> 00:24:40.100
 lives and

00:24:40.100 --> 00:24:40.620
 you've got

00:24:40.620 --> 00:24:41.059
 such

00:24:41.059 --> 00:24:41.600
 differences

00:24:41.600 --> 00:24:42.960
 that we're

00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:43.420
 called

00:24:43.420 --> 00:24:46.200
 be eager

00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:46.779
 to maintain

00:24:46.779 --> 00:24:47.240
 the peace.

00:24:47.460 --> 00:24:48.059
 This is

00:24:48.059 --> 00:24:48.340
 going to be

00:24:48.340 --> 00:24:48.900
 hard work.

00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:53.299
 If you

00:24:53.299 --> 00:24:53.799
 can convince

00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:54.380
 me that

00:24:54.380 --> 00:24:54.980
 you can

00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:55.279
 be a

00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:55.960
 functioning,

00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:56.900
 united,

00:24:57.400 --> 00:24:58.500
 interpersonal,

00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:00.299
 interdependent

00:25:00.299 --> 00:25:02.960
 body online,

00:25:03.180 --> 00:25:05.019
 then maybe

00:25:05.019 --> 00:25:05.680
 church online

00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:07.059
 is going to

00:25:07.059 --> 00:25:07.600
 be glorifying

00:25:07.600 --> 00:25:07.980
 to God.

00:25:09.980 --> 00:25:11.180
 While online

00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:11.720
 churching is

00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:12.600
 relatively new,

00:25:13.840 --> 00:25:14.299
 believers

00:25:14.299 --> 00:25:15.319
 claiming to

00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:15.860
 be part of

00:25:15.860 --> 00:25:16.500
 the universal

00:25:16.500 --> 00:25:17.380
 church and

00:25:17.380 --> 00:25:18.100
 sitting loose

00:25:18.100 --> 00:25:18.700
 to the local

00:25:18.700 --> 00:25:19.039
 church,

00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:21.420
 that's not

00:25:21.420 --> 00:25:21.680
 new,

00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:22.000
 is it?

00:25:24.140 --> 00:25:24.700
 So I

00:25:24.700 --> 00:25:24.900
 want to

00:25:24.900 --> 00:25:25.240
 clarify,

00:25:25.940 --> 00:25:26.779
 technology is

00:25:26.779 --> 00:25:27.080
 not the

00:25:27.080 --> 00:25:27.400
 problem.

00:25:27.600 --> 00:25:27.840
 It's not

00:25:27.840 --> 00:25:28.160
 the root

00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:28.539
 problem.

00:25:29.620 --> 00:25:29.860
 I don't

00:25:29.860 --> 00:25:30.039
 think.

00:25:33.180 --> 00:25:33.660
 In

00:25:33.660 --> 00:25:34.039
 person,

00:25:34.299 --> 00:25:34.580
 we could

00:25:34.580 --> 00:25:36.580
 easily just

00:25:36.580 --> 00:25:37.380
 form clicks.

00:25:38.860 --> 00:25:39.220
 In

00:25:39.220 --> 00:25:39.759
 person, we

00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:40.240
 could easily

00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:40.740
 try and

00:25:40.740 --> 00:25:41.380
 hide what's

00:25:41.380 --> 00:25:41.819
 really going

00:25:41.819 --> 00:25:42.460
 on in life,

00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:43.840
 what's going

00:25:43.840 --> 00:25:44.259
 on in our

00:25:44.259 --> 00:25:44.640
 minds.

00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:46.180
 we could

00:25:46.180 --> 00:25:48.320
 tune in or

00:25:48.320 --> 00:25:48.759
 tune out,

00:25:48.820 --> 00:25:49.180
 we can do

00:25:49.180 --> 00:25:49.700
 that all

00:25:49.700 --> 00:25:50.220
 in person.

00:25:50.740 --> 00:25:51.320
 So technology

00:25:51.320 --> 00:25:51.759
 isn't the

00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:52.240
 root problem.

00:25:53.840 --> 00:25:54.480
 It's whether

00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:55.500
 or not we

00:25:55.500 --> 00:25:56.220
 see church

00:25:56.220 --> 00:25:56.820
 through God's

00:25:56.820 --> 00:25:58.259
 eyes, that's

00:25:58.259 --> 00:25:59.780
 the important

00:25:59.780 --> 00:26:00.080
 thing.

00:26:01.360 --> 00:26:02.200
 If we know

00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:02.740
 who we are,

00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:03.280
 who we're

00:26:03.280 --> 00:26:03.880
 called to be,

00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:04.400
 the body,

00:26:06.080 --> 00:26:07.580
 we're not

00:26:07.580 --> 00:26:08.960
 just throwing

00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:09.300
 the word

00:26:09.300 --> 00:26:09.900
 family out

00:26:09.900 --> 00:26:10.380
 there, like

00:26:10.380 --> 00:26:11.380
 that is what

00:26:11.380 --> 00:26:11.720
 we are.

00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:14.760
 But as a

00:26:14.760 --> 00:26:17.100
 tool, online

00:26:17.100 --> 00:26:18.000
 church can

00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:19.220
 supplement and

00:26:19.220 --> 00:26:20.700
 bolster being

00:26:20.700 --> 00:26:21.080
 the body,

00:26:21.220 --> 00:26:21.500
 can't it?

00:26:22.780 --> 00:26:23.660
 Those who

00:26:23.660 --> 00:26:24.320
 are sick

00:26:24.320 --> 00:26:26.120
 and would

00:26:26.120 --> 00:26:26.880
 love to be

00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:28.060
 here, we

00:26:28.060 --> 00:26:29.000
 now have, they

00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:29.620
 can at least be

00:26:29.620 --> 00:26:30.460
 ministered to, to

00:26:30.460 --> 00:26:32.020
 some extent, on

00:26:32.020 --> 00:26:32.320
 Zoom.

00:26:33.420 --> 00:26:33.980
 What a

00:26:33.980 --> 00:26:34.320
 wonderful,

00:26:34.540 --> 00:26:35.420
 wonderful tool.

00:26:37.900 --> 00:26:39.480
 Our website is

00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:41.120
 often the first

00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:41.899
 point of contact

00:26:41.899 --> 00:26:42.539
 for people

00:26:42.539 --> 00:26:43.179
 finding us.

00:26:44.139 --> 00:26:44.599
 That's a good

00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:44.879
 tool.

00:26:46.179 --> 00:26:46.739
 It contains

00:26:46.739 --> 00:26:47.519
 recordings for

00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:47.919
 those in

00:26:47.919 --> 00:26:48.479
 Grace Kids

00:26:48.479 --> 00:26:49.299
 in Cresce who

00:26:49.299 --> 00:26:50.079
 miss out on

00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:50.519
 the teaching,

00:26:50.639 --> 00:26:51.219
 who sacrifice

00:26:51.219 --> 00:26:52.779
 being here now

00:26:52.779 --> 00:26:53.919
 for the kids,

00:26:54.619 --> 00:26:55.259
 for the whole

00:26:55.259 --> 00:26:56.079
 body so they

00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:56.699
 can catch up

00:26:56.699 --> 00:26:57.699
 or we can

00:26:57.699 --> 00:26:58.279
 re-listen to

00:26:58.279 --> 00:26:59.279
 it to get

00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:00.439
 more of,

00:27:00.719 --> 00:27:01.319
 soak it in

00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:01.519
 more.

00:27:03.159 --> 00:27:04.019
 Online gives

00:27:04.019 --> 00:27:04.899
 opportunities I

00:27:04.899 --> 00:27:05.159
 think for

00:27:05.159 --> 00:27:06.259
 isolated missionaries

00:27:06.259 --> 00:27:06.839
 who would love

00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:07.579
 to be part of a

00:27:07.579 --> 00:27:08.239
 local church to

00:27:08.239 --> 00:27:09.419
 be encouraged to

00:27:09.419 --> 00:27:10.239
 connect in maybe.

00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:14.059
 So I think

00:27:14.059 --> 00:27:15.119
 online church can

00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:16.139
 supplement being

00:27:16.139 --> 00:27:16.799
 the body but

00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:19.539
 my opinion is

00:27:19.539 --> 00:27:20.159
 it can't

00:27:20.159 --> 00:27:21.559
 replace it if

00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:22.419
 we stick with

00:27:22.419 --> 00:27:23.679
 what God says

00:27:23.679 --> 00:27:24.359
 the church is.

00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:27.000
 Okay, that's

00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:27.500
 online church.

00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:27.819
 What about

00:27:27.819 --> 00:27:28.619
 social media?

00:27:30.619 --> 00:27:31.459
 This one's less

00:27:31.459 --> 00:27:32.379
 obvious but

00:27:32.379 --> 00:27:34.119
 perhaps it's

00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:36.819
 having a much

00:27:36.819 --> 00:27:38.079
 bigger impact on

00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:38.659
 us as a church

00:27:38.660 --> 00:27:39.840
 family than in

00:27:39.840 --> 00:27:40.500
 how we relate

00:27:40.500 --> 00:27:41.660
 than the

00:27:41.660 --> 00:27:42.120
 question of

00:27:42.120 --> 00:27:43.980
 online churching.

00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:46.080
 Let me ask

00:27:46.080 --> 00:27:46.840
 what's filling

00:27:46.840 --> 00:27:47.800
 your mind and

00:27:47.800 --> 00:27:48.360
 therefore your

00:27:48.360 --> 00:27:48.860
 heart?

00:27:49.600 --> 00:27:50.160
 Is it

00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:51.380
 connection through

00:27:51.380 --> 00:27:52.160
 social media

00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:53.140
 captivating your

00:27:53.140 --> 00:27:54.040
 mind or is it

00:27:54.040 --> 00:27:55.080
 the local

00:27:55.080 --> 00:27:57.000
 church filling

00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:57.519
 your mind?

00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:03.240
 now I've got to

00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:03.740
 confess to you

00:28:03.740 --> 00:28:04.180
 like even

00:28:04.180 --> 00:28:05.500
 preparing this

00:28:05.500 --> 00:28:06.500
 week like the

00:28:06.500 --> 00:28:07.519
 amount of times I

00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:08.240
 went to Facebook

00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:09.480
 and just scrolled

00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:11.240
 those videos as

00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:12.259
 to just get this

00:28:12.259 --> 00:28:13.019
 little dopamine

00:28:13.019 --> 00:28:15.299
 hit of because I

00:28:15.299 --> 00:28:15.619
 was feeling

00:28:15.619 --> 00:28:16.339
 stressed this

00:28:16.339 --> 00:28:17.980
 week like

00:28:17.980 --> 00:28:18.839
 knowing this

00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:19.619
 stuff and

00:28:19.619 --> 00:28:20.379
 actually changing

00:28:20.379 --> 00:28:21.799
 is another story.

00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:22.720
 I want to

00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:23.720
 confess that

00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:26.460
 and like I

00:28:26.460 --> 00:28:26.860
 said earlier

00:28:26.860 --> 00:28:28.259
 while technology

00:28:28.259 --> 00:28:28.839
 in and of

00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:29.720
 itself is not

00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:30.160
 the root

00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:30.819
 problem here

00:28:30.819 --> 00:28:31.940
 it's our

00:28:31.940 --> 00:28:32.720
 sinful hearts

00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:33.039
 and not

00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:33.660
 believing what

00:28:33.660 --> 00:28:34.220
 God says

00:28:34.220 --> 00:28:36.019
 when it comes

00:28:36.019 --> 00:28:36.360
 to social

00:28:36.360 --> 00:28:36.660
 media

00:28:36.660 --> 00:28:39.220
 again it's

00:28:39.220 --> 00:28:40.420
 not technology

00:28:40.420 --> 00:28:41.019
 per se

00:28:41.019 --> 00:28:41.519
 that's a

00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:41.779
 problem

00:28:41.779 --> 00:28:42.839
 it's how

00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:43.600
 it's designed

00:28:43.600 --> 00:28:45.839
 it's exploiting

00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:46.120
 us

00:28:46.120 --> 00:28:47.640
 and that's

00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:47.940
 why I want

00:28:47.940 --> 00:28:48.799
 to quote

00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:50.600
 Tristan Harris

00:28:50.600 --> 00:28:51.620
 it is designed

00:28:51.619 --> 00:28:53.619
 to exploit

00:28:53.619 --> 00:28:53.879
 us

00:28:53.879 --> 00:28:56.359
 now that's

00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:56.539
 why I'm

00:28:56.539 --> 00:28:57.139
 saying watch

00:28:57.139 --> 00:28:58.319
 this documentary

00:28:58.319 --> 00:28:58.799
 thing

00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:00.319
 as soon as I

00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:00.679
 say the word

00:29:00.679 --> 00:29:01.159
 documentary

00:29:01.159 --> 00:29:01.619
 like oh

00:29:01.619 --> 00:29:02.019
 boring

00:29:02.019 --> 00:29:03.359
 I hope

00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:03.879
 maybe not

00:29:03.879 --> 00:29:05.299
 please watch

00:29:05.299 --> 00:29:05.579
 it

00:29:05.579 --> 00:29:07.359
 it's really

00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:08.579
 eye open

00:29:08.579 --> 00:29:10.319
 let me just

00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:12.039
 quickly try and

00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:12.439
 summarize

00:29:12.439 --> 00:29:15.239
 consider this

00:29:15.239 --> 00:29:15.919
 the company

00:29:15.919 --> 00:29:16.439
 Meta

00:29:16.439 --> 00:29:18.219
 which as you

00:29:18.219 --> 00:29:18.739
 know owns

00:29:18.739 --> 00:29:19.139
 Facebook

00:29:19.139 --> 00:29:19.619
 Instagram

00:29:19.619 --> 00:29:23.219
 it's worth

00:29:23.219 --> 00:29:25.879
 734 billion

00:29:25.879 --> 00:29:27.439
 US dollars

00:29:27.439 --> 00:29:29.500
 like wow

00:29:29.500 --> 00:29:30.979
 now how

00:29:30.979 --> 00:29:32.119
 much are

00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:32.699
 you paying

00:29:32.699 --> 00:29:33.500
 to subscribe

00:29:33.500 --> 00:29:34.079
 to Facebook

00:29:34.079 --> 00:29:36.439
 I haven't

00:29:36.439 --> 00:29:37.099
 paid a cent

00:29:37.099 --> 00:29:39.039
 now the old

00:29:39.039 --> 00:29:39.659
 saying goes

00:29:39.659 --> 00:29:40.959
 if it's free

00:29:40.959 --> 00:29:41.759
 you're the

00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:42.199
 product

00:29:42.199 --> 00:29:44.579
 and that's

00:29:44.579 --> 00:29:45.319
 Tristan Harris's

00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:45.839
 point in this

00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:46.299
 social demo

00:29:46.299 --> 00:29:48.819
 put simply

00:29:48.819 --> 00:29:49.419
 he's saying

00:29:49.419 --> 00:29:50.299
 your attention

00:29:50.299 --> 00:29:51.299
 your attention

00:29:51.299 --> 00:29:52.159
 is how these

00:29:52.159 --> 00:29:52.759
 big tech

00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:53.539
 companies make

00:29:53.539 --> 00:29:54.079
 a lot of

00:29:54.079 --> 00:29:54.319
 money

00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:57.399
 like have

00:29:57.399 --> 00:29:57.819
 you noticed

00:29:57.819 --> 00:29:58.619
 how precise

00:29:58.619 --> 00:29:59.680
 those ads

00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:00.339
 that come up

00:30:00.339 --> 00:30:00.960
 are like

00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:02.599
 talk about

00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:03.279
 feeding my

00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:03.700
 idols

00:30:03.700 --> 00:30:04.180
 it knows

00:30:04.180 --> 00:30:05.180
 exactly what

00:30:05.180 --> 00:30:07.599
 what I want

00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:08.079
 to be thinking

00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:08.859
 about but don't

00:30:08.859 --> 00:30:09.379
 need to be

00:30:09.379 --> 00:30:11.059
 or have you

00:30:11.059 --> 00:30:11.639
 noticed like

00:30:11.639 --> 00:30:12.480
 you've been

00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:13.279
 scrolling Facebook

00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:13.960
 like I admitted

00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:15.660
 to like half

00:30:15.660 --> 00:30:15.960
 an hour

00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:16.259
 has gone

00:30:16.259 --> 00:30:17.380
 by and

00:30:17.380 --> 00:30:17.660
 you've just

00:30:17.660 --> 00:30:19.019
 been watching

00:30:19.019 --> 00:30:20.240
 silly videos

00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:22.059
 or have you

00:30:22.059 --> 00:30:22.579
 noticed that

00:30:22.579 --> 00:30:23.680
 when you put

00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:24.460
 a post or

00:30:24.460 --> 00:30:24.799
 a video

00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:25.340
 online

00:30:25.340 --> 00:30:27.240
 you just

00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:27.660
 want to

00:30:27.660 --> 00:30:28.019
 know how

00:30:28.019 --> 00:30:28.600
 many likes

00:30:28.600 --> 00:30:28.960
 are there

00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:29.420
 how many

00:30:29.420 --> 00:30:30.019
 views have

00:30:30.019 --> 00:30:30.360
 there been

00:30:30.360 --> 00:30:32.420
 or have you

00:30:32.420 --> 00:30:33.380
 noticed when

00:30:33.380 --> 00:30:33.819
 you're using

00:30:33.819 --> 00:30:34.380
 social media

00:30:34.380 --> 00:30:34.840
 it almost

00:30:34.840 --> 00:30:35.579
 feels socially

00:30:35.579 --> 00:30:36.500
 rude not to

00:30:36.500 --> 00:30:37.500
 reply within a

00:30:37.500 --> 00:30:38.000
 few minutes

00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:40.039
 I feel

00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:40.380
 that I

00:30:40.380 --> 00:30:40.559
 don't know

00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:40.839
 if anyone

00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:41.299
 else does

00:30:41.299 --> 00:30:43.740
 the point

00:30:43.740 --> 00:30:44.480
 is none

00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:44.859
 of this is

00:30:44.859 --> 00:30:45.380
 accidental

00:30:45.380 --> 00:30:47.240
 it's designed

00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:47.980
 to keep us

00:30:47.980 --> 00:30:48.799
 hooked

00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:51.039
 because our

00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:51.700
 attention is

00:30:51.700 --> 00:30:52.380
 big business

00:30:52.380 --> 00:30:55.640
 and so

00:30:55.640 --> 00:30:56.200
 Tristan Harris

00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:56.579
 makes the

00:30:56.579 --> 00:30:57.019
 point that

00:30:57.019 --> 00:30:57.660
 we worry

00:30:57.660 --> 00:30:58.339
 about artificial

00:30:58.339 --> 00:30:59.019
 intelligence

00:30:59.019 --> 00:31:00.140
 kind of taking

00:31:00.140 --> 00:31:00.779
 over us

00:31:00.779 --> 00:31:02.460
 when it's

00:31:02.460 --> 00:31:03.119
 stronger than

00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:03.859
 us when it

00:31:03.859 --> 00:31:04.440
 can take our

00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:05.279
 jobs and

00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:07.000
 when it can

00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:07.519
 beat us at

00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:07.880
 chess

00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:10.220
 we worry

00:31:10.220 --> 00:31:10.740
 about AI

00:31:10.740 --> 00:31:11.160
 when it

00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:11.540
 takes over

00:31:11.540 --> 00:31:11.840
 the world

00:31:11.840 --> 00:31:12.200
 but he's

00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:12.720
 saying AI

00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:13.480
 is already

00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:14.240
 undermining

00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:14.960
 our weaknesses

00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:16.520
 it's already

00:31:16.520 --> 00:31:17.300
 exploiting

00:31:17.300 --> 00:31:18.700
 our weaknesses

00:31:18.700 --> 00:31:21.940
 I'll let you

00:31:21.940 --> 00:31:22.420
 watch it

00:31:22.420 --> 00:31:24.140
 because I've

00:31:24.140 --> 00:31:24.920
 gone into

00:31:24.920 --> 00:31:25.500
 explaining it

00:31:25.500 --> 00:31:25.780
 enough

00:31:25.780 --> 00:31:29.680
 it's

00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:31.260
 I think

00:31:31.260 --> 00:31:31.400
 it's

00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:32.060
 deceptive

00:31:32.060 --> 00:31:34.300
 it's

00:31:34.300 --> 00:31:35.620
 I think

00:31:35.620 --> 00:31:35.860
 it's an

00:31:35.860 --> 00:31:36.580
 example of

00:31:36.580 --> 00:31:36.980
 what we

00:31:36.980 --> 00:31:37.400
 hear in

00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:38.280
 Ephesians

00:31:38.280 --> 00:31:38.820
 4 of

00:31:38.820 --> 00:31:39.200
 human

00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:39.740
 cunning

00:31:39.740 --> 00:31:41.420
 to

00:31:41.420 --> 00:31:42.220
 toss us

00:31:42.220 --> 00:31:42.759
 to and

00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:43.080
 fro

00:31:43.080 --> 00:31:45.580
 it's

00:31:45.580 --> 00:31:46.280
 deceptive

00:31:46.280 --> 00:31:46.759
 because

00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:48.680
 it promises

00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:49.160
 that we're

00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:49.580
 connecting

00:31:49.580 --> 00:31:50.080
 into the

00:31:50.080 --> 00:31:50.420
 world

00:31:50.420 --> 00:31:53.040
 but

00:31:53.040 --> 00:31:54.480
 what it

00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:54.759
 is

00:31:54.759 --> 00:31:55.519
 is a

00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:55.800
 mirror

00:31:55.800 --> 00:31:56.540
 turned in

00:31:56.540 --> 00:31:57.060
 on self

00:31:57.060 --> 00:31:57.460
 because

00:31:57.460 --> 00:31:59.120
 when you

00:31:59.120 --> 00:31:59.780
 watch Netflix

00:31:59.780 --> 00:32:00.880
 I don't know

00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:01.180
 if you watch

00:32:01.180 --> 00:32:01.380
 Netflix

00:32:01.380 --> 00:32:02.300
 if you watch

00:32:02.300 --> 00:32:02.720
 a streaming

00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:03.220
 service

00:32:03.220 --> 00:32:04.120
 you know

00:32:04.120 --> 00:32:04.480
 that when

00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:04.900
 they say

00:32:04.900 --> 00:32:05.400
 hey do you

00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:05.620
 want to

00:32:05.620 --> 00:32:06.280
 watch something

00:32:06.280 --> 00:32:06.880
 like this

00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:07.260
 you know

00:32:07.260 --> 00:32:07.960
 it's tailored

00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:08.360
 to your

00:32:08.360 --> 00:32:08.720
 personal

00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:09.200
 preferences

00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:10.700
 but all

00:32:10.700 --> 00:32:11.100
 these

00:32:11.100 --> 00:32:13.200
 social media

00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:13.460
 things

00:32:13.460 --> 00:32:14.440
 it is

00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:14.880
 tailored

00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:15.720
 to personal

00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:16.300
 choices

00:32:16.300 --> 00:32:17.000
 it knows

00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:17.920
 what our

00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:18.240
 attention

00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:18.660
 is going

00:32:18.660 --> 00:32:18.840
 to

00:32:18.840 --> 00:32:19.080
 and it

00:32:19.080 --> 00:32:19.640
 just keeps

00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:20.100
 feeding

00:32:20.100 --> 00:32:21.060
 whatever

00:32:21.060 --> 00:32:22.460
 grabs our

00:32:22.460 --> 00:32:22.820
 attention

00:32:22.819 --> 00:32:24.679
 it's a

00:32:24.679 --> 00:32:24.919
 mirror

00:32:24.919 --> 00:32:25.599
 on self

00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:26.419
 we think

00:32:26.419 --> 00:32:26.619
 we're

00:32:26.619 --> 00:32:26.939
 connecting

00:32:26.939 --> 00:32:27.279
 with the

00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:27.539
 world

00:32:27.539 --> 00:32:28.099
 but it's

00:32:28.099 --> 00:32:28.419
 actually

00:32:28.419 --> 00:32:28.659
 just

00:32:28.659 --> 00:32:29.379
 reinforcing

00:32:29.379 --> 00:32:30.299
 self

00:32:30.299 --> 00:32:33.339
 it's

00:32:33.339 --> 00:32:33.980
 deceptive

00:32:33.980 --> 00:32:34.319
 I think

00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:37.460
 it promises

00:32:37.460 --> 00:32:38.139
 connection

00:32:38.139 --> 00:32:38.779
 to our

00:32:38.779 --> 00:32:39.259
 diverse

00:32:39.259 --> 00:32:39.679
 world

00:32:39.679 --> 00:32:40.099
 when it's

00:32:40.099 --> 00:32:40.519
 really

00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:41.299
 just

00:32:41.299 --> 00:32:41.879
 reinforcing

00:32:41.879 --> 00:32:43.399
 self

00:32:43.399 --> 00:32:43.960
 personal

00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:44.439
 choice

00:32:44.439 --> 00:32:47.339
 so I'm

00:32:47.339 --> 00:32:47.480
 going to

00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:47.779
 suggest

00:32:47.779 --> 00:32:48.679
 three ways

00:32:48.679 --> 00:32:49.339
 that

00:32:49.339 --> 00:32:50.399
 social media

00:32:50.399 --> 00:32:50.759
 can be

00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:51.259
 filling

00:32:51.259 --> 00:32:52.539
 our

00:32:52.539 --> 00:32:53.180
 minds

00:32:53.180 --> 00:32:53.940
 when it

00:32:53.940 --> 00:32:54.220
 should

00:32:54.220 --> 00:32:54.400
 be

00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:54.599
 the

00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:55.099
 church

00:32:55.099 --> 00:32:56.299
 filling

00:32:56.299 --> 00:32:56.539
 our

00:32:56.539 --> 00:32:56.839
 minds

00:32:56.839 --> 00:32:57.019
 with

00:32:57.019 --> 00:32:57.400
 truth

00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:59.079
 I'm

00:32:59.079 --> 00:32:59.200
 going to

00:32:59.200 --> 00:32:59.379
 start

00:32:59.379 --> 00:32:59.579
 with a

00:32:59.579 --> 00:32:59.740
 more

00:32:59.740 --> 00:33:00.019
 obvious

00:33:00.019 --> 00:33:00.319
 one

00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:00.879
 and that

00:33:00.879 --> 00:33:01.039
 is

00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:01.220
 our

00:33:01.220 --> 00:33:01.619
 attention

00:33:01.619 --> 00:33:02.160
 during

00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:02.660
 church

00:33:02.660 --> 00:33:11.480
 I'm

00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:11.740
 in two

00:33:11.740 --> 00:33:11.960
 minds

00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:12.339
 about this

00:33:12.339 --> 00:33:12.799
 illustration

00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:13.039
 I'm

00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:13.180
 going to

00:33:13.180 --> 00:33:13.519
 go for

00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:13.640
 it

00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:13.799
 I'll

00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:13.980
 probably

00:33:13.980 --> 00:33:14.220
 forget

00:33:14.220 --> 00:33:14.599
 it

00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:15.279
 at

00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:15.500
 Bible

00:33:15.500 --> 00:33:15.819
 college

00:33:15.819 --> 00:33:16.200
 there was

00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:16.539
 a

00:33:16.539 --> 00:33:17.000
 class

00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:17.680
 a

00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:17.980
 particular

00:33:17.980 --> 00:33:18.460
 class

00:33:18.460 --> 00:33:19.039
 now

00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:19.500
 this only

00:33:19.500 --> 00:33:19.720
 happened

00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:20.079
 in one

00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:20.460
 class

00:33:20.460 --> 00:33:20.740
 it didn't

00:33:20.740 --> 00:33:20.980
 happen

00:33:20.980 --> 00:33:21.380
 all

00:33:21.380 --> 00:33:21.519
 the

00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:21.839
 classes

00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:22.000
 of

00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:22.160
 Bible

00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:22.519
 college

00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:22.859
 because

00:33:22.859 --> 00:33:22.980
 I

00:33:22.980 --> 00:33:23.160
 know

00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:23.660
 this

00:33:23.660 --> 00:33:23.960
 church

00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:24.200
 helped

00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:24.599
 pay my

00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:24.839
 way

00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:24.980
 through

00:33:24.980 --> 00:33:25.220
 Bible

00:33:25.220 --> 00:33:25.519
 college

00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:26.180
 but

00:33:26.180 --> 00:33:28.640
 during

00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:28.859
 the

00:33:28.859 --> 00:33:29.220
 lecture

00:33:29.220 --> 00:33:30.700
 there was

00:33:30.700 --> 00:33:31.000
 this

00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:31.859
 Facebook

00:33:31.859 --> 00:33:32.220
 messenger

00:33:32.220 --> 00:33:32.620
 group

00:33:32.620 --> 00:33:33.039
 of

00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:33.440
 people

00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:33.819
 in

00:33:33.819 --> 00:33:33.940
 the

00:33:33.940 --> 00:33:34.220
 chat

00:33:34.220 --> 00:33:35.019
 just

00:33:35.019 --> 00:33:35.420
 a

00:33:35.420 --> 00:33:35.859
 constant

00:33:35.859 --> 00:33:36.559
 stream

00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:37.539
 of

00:33:37.539 --> 00:33:38.039
 funny

00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:38.579
 remarks

00:33:38.579 --> 00:33:39.120
 based on

00:33:39.120 --> 00:33:39.380
 what's

00:33:39.380 --> 00:33:39.779
 going on

00:33:39.779 --> 00:33:40.000
 in the

00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:40.240
 room

00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:41.940
 now

00:33:41.940 --> 00:33:42.440
 I had

00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:42.640
 this

00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:43.019
 choice

00:33:43.019 --> 00:33:44.420
 do I

00:33:44.420 --> 00:33:44.740
 belong

00:33:44.740 --> 00:33:45.120
 to the

00:33:45.120 --> 00:33:45.500
 crowd

00:33:45.500 --> 00:33:45.920
 and

00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:47.380
 feel

00:33:47.380 --> 00:33:48.660
 like I

00:33:48.660 --> 00:33:49.019
 belong

00:33:49.019 --> 00:33:49.359
 to the

00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:49.700
 group

00:33:49.700 --> 00:33:50.580
 or do

00:33:50.580 --> 00:33:50.700
 I

00:33:50.700 --> 00:33:51.080
 listen

00:33:51.080 --> 00:33:52.880
 that was

00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:53.620
 so

00:33:53.620 --> 00:33:54.160
 tempting

00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:54.380
 the

00:33:54.380 --> 00:33:54.680
 choice

00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:54.980
 do I

00:33:54.980 --> 00:33:55.200
 listen

00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:55.480
 to the

00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:55.940
 truth

00:33:55.940 --> 00:33:56.680
 that

00:33:56.680 --> 00:33:57.400
 is

00:33:57.400 --> 00:33:57.539
 meant

00:33:57.539 --> 00:33:57.880
 to be

00:33:57.880 --> 00:33:58.740
 building

00:33:58.740 --> 00:33:58.960
 up

00:33:58.960 --> 00:33:59.120
 the

00:33:59.120 --> 00:33:59.460
 church

00:33:59.460 --> 00:34:01.700
 I

00:34:01.700 --> 00:34:01.940
 want to

00:34:01.940 --> 00:34:02.120
 share

00:34:02.120 --> 00:34:02.380
 that

00:34:02.380 --> 00:34:03.400
 because

00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:05.140
 I

00:34:05.140 --> 00:34:05.299
 think

00:34:05.299 --> 00:34:05.620
 that could

00:34:05.620 --> 00:34:05.880
 be an

00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:06.299
 illustration

00:34:06.299 --> 00:34:06.880
 for how

00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:07.299
 social

00:34:07.299 --> 00:34:07.880
 media

00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:09.519
 is

00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:09.880
 grabbing

00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:10.099
 our

00:34:10.099 --> 00:34:10.400
 attention

00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:11.539
 during

00:34:11.539 --> 00:34:12.039
 church

00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:12.920
 yes

00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:13.720
 but also

00:34:13.720 --> 00:34:14.039
 during

00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:14.179
 the

00:34:14.179 --> 00:34:14.440
 week

00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:17.900
 giving

00:34:17.900 --> 00:34:18.179
 our

00:34:18.179 --> 00:34:18.539
 attention

00:34:18.539 --> 00:34:19.019
 is a

00:34:19.019 --> 00:34:19.300
 moral

00:34:19.300 --> 00:34:19.860
 choice

00:34:19.860 --> 00:34:22.460
 what

00:34:22.460 --> 00:34:22.679
 is

00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:22.980
 grabbing

00:34:22.980 --> 00:34:23.220
 our

00:34:23.220 --> 00:34:23.599
 attention

00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:27.139
 if

00:34:27.139 --> 00:34:29.760
 notifications

00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:30.559
 are disrupting

00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:30.840
 you from

00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:31.159
 God's

00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:31.460
 word

00:34:31.460 --> 00:34:36.059
 cut it

00:34:36.059 --> 00:34:36.360
 off

00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:39.920
 it will

00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:40.099
 feel

00:34:40.099 --> 00:34:40.519
 painful

00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:43.079
 cut it

00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:43.360
 off

00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:46.199
 by

00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:46.539
 cutting

00:34:46.539 --> 00:34:46.759
 off

00:34:46.759 --> 00:34:46.880
 I

00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:47.099
 mean

00:34:47.099 --> 00:34:47.960
 if

00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:48.099
 your

00:34:48.099 --> 00:34:48.320
 hand

00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:48.719
 causes

00:34:48.719 --> 00:34:49.019
 you to

00:34:49.019 --> 00:34:49.179
 see

00:34:49.179 --> 00:34:49.259
 and

00:34:49.259 --> 00:34:49.519
 cut it

00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:49.639
 off

00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:49.800
 that's

00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:49.980
 what I'm

00:34:49.980 --> 00:34:50.239
 referring

00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:50.460
 to

00:34:50.460 --> 00:34:50.699
 year

00:34:50.699 --> 00:34:54.059
 because

00:34:54.059 --> 00:34:54.980
 just that

00:34:54.980 --> 00:34:55.519
 feedback

00:34:55.519 --> 00:34:56.019
 loop

00:34:56.019 --> 00:34:56.860
 of

00:34:56.860 --> 00:34:59.019
 promising

00:34:59.019 --> 00:34:59.780
 connection

00:34:59.780 --> 00:35:00.320
 based on

00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:00.460
 your

00:35:00.460 --> 00:35:00.860
 preferences

00:35:00.860 --> 00:35:01.500
 it's

00:35:01.500 --> 00:35:02.639
 just

00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:04.340
 superficial

00:35:04.340 --> 00:35:05.059
 relating

00:35:05.059 --> 00:35:05.920
 and it's

00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:06.440
 filling your

00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:06.980
 mind with

00:35:06.980 --> 00:35:07.880
 consumerism

00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:08.720
 because it's

00:35:08.720 --> 00:35:09.220
 targeting

00:35:09.220 --> 00:35:10.019
 exactly where

00:35:10.019 --> 00:35:10.440
 you're tempted

00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:11.599
 but if

00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:12.179
 you give

00:35:12.179 --> 00:35:12.780
 your mind

00:35:12.780 --> 00:35:13.579
 to the

00:35:13.579 --> 00:35:14.059
 church

00:35:14.059 --> 00:35:14.639
 speaking

00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:15.019
 the truth

00:35:15.019 --> 00:35:15.340
 in love

00:35:15.340 --> 00:35:15.760
 it fills

00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:16.320
 your mind

00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:16.619
 with the

00:35:16.619 --> 00:35:17.000
 sacrifice

00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:17.720
 of Christ

00:35:17.720 --> 00:35:18.980
 it fills

00:35:18.980 --> 00:35:19.340
 your mind

00:35:19.340 --> 00:35:19.659
 with a

00:35:19.659 --> 00:35:20.019
 calling

00:35:20.019 --> 00:35:20.940
 to sacrifice

00:35:20.940 --> 00:35:22.340
 your life

00:35:22.340 --> 00:35:22.639
 for what

00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:23.139
 lasts

00:35:23.139 --> 00:35:24.400
 what are

00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:24.739
 you filling

00:35:24.739 --> 00:35:25.179
 your mind

00:35:25.179 --> 00:35:25.440
 with

00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:26.440
 during

00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:26.880
 church

00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:28.119
 but also

00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:28.980
 throughout

00:35:28.980 --> 00:35:29.440
 the week

00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:33.320
 the second

00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:33.659
 way

00:35:33.659 --> 00:35:35.920
 I think

00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:36.199
 it could

00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:36.719
 be impacting

00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:37.099
 us is

00:35:37.099 --> 00:35:37.940
 it's deceiving

00:35:37.940 --> 00:35:38.480
 us into

00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:39.119
 a sense

00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:39.599
 of belonging

00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:40.460
 but without

00:35:40.460 --> 00:35:41.739
 truly being

00:35:41.739 --> 00:35:42.199
 known

00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:50.199
 I think

00:35:50.199 --> 00:35:50.439
 a lot

00:35:50.439 --> 00:35:50.699
 of the

00:35:50.699 --> 00:35:51.460
 affirmation

00:35:51.460 --> 00:35:52.119
 that goes

00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:52.399
 on

00:35:52.399 --> 00:35:53.199
 we're

00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:53.599
 creatures

00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:53.899
 we're

00:35:53.899 --> 00:35:54.139
 built

00:35:54.139 --> 00:35:54.819
 for social

00:35:54.819 --> 00:35:55.399
 affirmation

00:35:55.399 --> 00:35:55.659
 we're

00:35:55.659 --> 00:35:55.819
 built

00:35:55.819 --> 00:35:56.319
 for it

00:35:56.319 --> 00:35:57.480
 God

00:35:57.480 --> 00:35:57.899
 designed

00:35:57.899 --> 00:35:58.179
 us that

00:35:58.179 --> 00:35:58.379
 way

00:35:58.379 --> 00:35:58.539
 that

00:35:58.539 --> 00:35:59.659
 so much

00:35:59.659 --> 00:36:00.059
 of what

00:36:00.059 --> 00:36:00.939
 we're

00:36:00.939 --> 00:36:01.480
 affirmed

00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:01.819
 for

00:36:01.819 --> 00:36:02.259
 online

00:36:02.259 --> 00:36:02.599
 isn't

00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:02.799
 it

00:36:02.799 --> 00:36:04.039
 playing

00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:04.339
 happy

00:36:04.339 --> 00:36:04.779
 family

00:36:04.779 --> 00:36:05.339
 pictures

00:36:05.340 --> 00:36:07.120
 and I've

00:36:07.120 --> 00:36:07.440
 got the

00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:07.840
 house

00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:08.160
 and I'm

00:36:08.160 --> 00:36:08.660
 renovating

00:36:08.660 --> 00:36:08.940
 it

00:36:08.940 --> 00:36:11.160
 and look

00:36:11.160 --> 00:36:11.700
 how beautiful

00:36:11.700 --> 00:36:12.360
 I am

00:36:12.360 --> 00:36:12.579
 and

00:36:12.579 --> 00:36:15.460
 apparently

00:36:15.460 --> 00:36:16.000
 Instagram

00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:16.720
 as a

00:36:16.720 --> 00:36:17.100
 side note

00:36:17.100 --> 00:36:17.900
 automatically

00:36:17.900 --> 00:36:18.380
 adds a

00:36:18.380 --> 00:36:19.039
 5%

00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:19.460
 beauty

00:36:19.460 --> 00:36:20.100
 filter

00:36:20.100 --> 00:36:21.860
 doesn't

00:36:21.860 --> 00:36:22.260
 work on

00:36:22.260 --> 00:36:22.440
 me

00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:23.780
 now

00:36:23.780 --> 00:36:25.380
 you have

00:36:25.380 --> 00:36:25.820
 to clarify

00:36:25.820 --> 00:36:26.360
 whether that's

00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:26.700
 still the

00:36:26.700 --> 00:36:26.960
 case

00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:27.300
 that's a

00:36:27.300 --> 00:36:27.720
 few years

00:36:27.720 --> 00:36:27.960
 old

00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:28.179
 that

00:36:28.179 --> 00:36:29.000
 remark

00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:29.619
 but

00:36:29.619 --> 00:36:30.900
 the point

00:36:30.900 --> 00:36:31.139
 is

00:36:31.139 --> 00:36:32.179
 it's

00:36:32.179 --> 00:36:32.599
 trying to

00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:33.280
 reinforce

00:36:33.280 --> 00:36:34.119
 your value

00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:34.619
 is tied

00:36:34.619 --> 00:36:34.900
 to your

00:36:34.900 --> 00:36:35.220
 beauty

00:36:35.220 --> 00:36:35.860
 come to

00:36:35.860 --> 00:36:36.039
 this

00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:36.519
 platform

00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:40.320
 we try

00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:40.579
 and get

00:36:40.579 --> 00:36:41.200
 affirmation

00:36:41.200 --> 00:36:41.840
 based on

00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:42.380
 work

00:36:42.380 --> 00:36:43.119
 accomplishments

00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:44.019
 and what

00:36:44.019 --> 00:36:44.539
 we're doing

00:36:44.539 --> 00:36:45.639
 and even

00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:46.099
 our personal

00:36:46.099 --> 00:36:46.579
 struggles

00:36:46.579 --> 00:36:47.280
 like when

00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:48.380
 we declare

00:36:48.380 --> 00:36:48.840
 our personal

00:36:48.840 --> 00:36:49.280
 struggles

00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:50.720
 are we

00:36:50.720 --> 00:36:51.099
 really

00:36:51.099 --> 00:36:51.579
 offering

00:36:51.579 --> 00:36:52.320
 for people

00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:52.720
 to speak

00:36:52.720 --> 00:36:53.080
 the truth

00:36:53.080 --> 00:36:53.600
 in love

00:36:53.600 --> 00:36:55.559
 maybe

00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:56.240
 you are

00:36:56.240 --> 00:36:57.080
 maybe you

00:36:57.080 --> 00:36:57.340
 are

00:36:57.340 --> 00:36:59.860
 but

00:36:59.860 --> 00:37:01.420
 being the

00:37:01.420 --> 00:37:01.760
 Christ

00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:02.320
 church

00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:02.860
 where people

00:37:02.860 --> 00:37:03.360
 are speaking

00:37:03.360 --> 00:37:03.760
 the truth

00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:04.220
 in love

00:37:04.220 --> 00:37:06.440
 it's

00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:07.140
 assuring

00:37:07.140 --> 00:37:07.480
 you of

00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:07.740
 what's

00:37:07.740 --> 00:37:08.180
 true

00:37:08.180 --> 00:37:09.740
 it's

00:37:09.740 --> 00:37:10.039
 saying

00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:10.500
 you are

00:37:10.500 --> 00:37:11.019
 loved

00:37:11.019 --> 00:37:12.059
 by God

00:37:12.059 --> 00:37:12.420
 you are

00:37:12.420 --> 00:37:12.720
 in the

00:37:12.720 --> 00:37:13.120
 family

00:37:13.120 --> 00:37:13.600
 of God

00:37:13.600 --> 00:37:14.120
 not based

00:37:14.120 --> 00:37:14.600
 on anything

00:37:14.600 --> 00:37:15.100
 you do

00:37:15.100 --> 00:37:15.700
 not based

00:37:15.700 --> 00:37:15.960
 on your

00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:16.280
 beauty

00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:16.880
 not based

00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:17.780
 on your

00:37:17.780 --> 00:37:18.480
 house

00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:19.340
 and renovations

00:37:19.340 --> 00:37:19.760
 and not

00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:20.780
 based on

00:37:20.780 --> 00:37:22.180
 anything else

00:37:22.179 --> 00:37:23.119
 you are

00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:23.399
 in the

00:37:23.399 --> 00:37:23.679
 family

00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:24.159
 of God

00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:24.539
 when we

00:37:24.539 --> 00:37:25.059
 give

00:37:25.059 --> 00:37:25.539
 ourselves

00:37:25.539 --> 00:37:26.699
 to truth

00:37:26.699 --> 00:37:31.940
 so

00:37:31.940 --> 00:37:35.000
 we choose

00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:35.460
 between

00:37:35.460 --> 00:37:36.659
 a very

00:37:36.659 --> 00:37:37.279
 superficial

00:37:37.279 --> 00:37:37.799
 form of

00:37:37.799 --> 00:37:38.219
 connection

00:37:38.219 --> 00:37:39.059
 and affirmation

00:37:39.059 --> 00:37:40.419
 or giving

00:37:40.419 --> 00:37:40.919
 ourselves to

00:37:40.919 --> 00:37:41.519
 the church

00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:42.219
 and having

00:37:42.219 --> 00:37:43.119
 deep truth

00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:44.159
 filling our

00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:44.579
 souls

00:37:44.579 --> 00:37:45.500
 and affirming

00:37:45.500 --> 00:37:45.799
 us

00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:47.380
 being

00:37:47.380 --> 00:37:47.780
 truly

00:37:47.780 --> 00:37:48.320
 known

00:37:48.320 --> 00:37:50.620
 you

00:37:50.620 --> 00:37:51.080
 seeing

00:37:51.080 --> 00:37:51.380
 me

00:37:51.380 --> 00:37:51.780
 warts

00:37:51.780 --> 00:37:51.920
 and

00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:52.220
 all

00:37:52.220 --> 00:37:54.120
 and

00:37:54.120 --> 00:37:54.539
 saying

00:37:54.539 --> 00:37:54.880
 you are

00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:55.080
 loved

00:37:55.080 --> 00:37:55.600
 by God

00:37:55.600 --> 00:37:56.140
 now let

00:37:56.140 --> 00:37:56.519
 me help

00:37:56.519 --> 00:37:56.920
 you brother

00:37:56.920 --> 00:37:58.600
 in living

00:37:58.600 --> 00:37:59.060
 for God

00:37:59.060 --> 00:37:59.440
 more

00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:01.740
 that's

00:38:01.740 --> 00:38:02.720
 being

00:38:02.720 --> 00:38:03.019
 truly

00:38:03.019 --> 00:38:03.420
 known

00:38:03.420 --> 00:38:05.519
 the third

00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:05.860
 way I

00:38:05.860 --> 00:38:06.440
 think it

00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:06.860
 can be

00:38:06.860 --> 00:38:07.900
 impacting

00:38:07.900 --> 00:38:08.420
 us is

00:38:08.420 --> 00:38:09.180
 polarization

00:38:09.179 --> 00:38:13.619
 a feedback

00:38:13.619 --> 00:38:14.239
 loop that

00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:14.659
 is based

00:38:14.659 --> 00:38:15.059
 on your

00:38:15.059 --> 00:38:15.480
 preferences

00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:16.039
 it's going

00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:16.399
 to give

00:38:16.399 --> 00:38:16.699
 you a

00:38:16.699 --> 00:38:17.079
 sense

00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:17.480
 that you're

00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:17.679
 well

00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:18.219
 informed

00:38:18.219 --> 00:38:20.899
 but what's

00:38:20.899 --> 00:38:21.399
 really going

00:38:21.399 --> 00:38:21.839
 on is

00:38:21.839 --> 00:38:22.059
 you're

00:38:22.059 --> 00:38:22.440
 surrounding

00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:22.859
 yourself

00:38:22.859 --> 00:38:23.239
 with

00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:24.619
 the same

00:38:24.619 --> 00:38:24.960
 view

00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:25.639
 people with

00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:25.960
 the same

00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:26.159
 view

00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:26.779
 because that's

00:38:26.779 --> 00:38:27.359
 what the

00:38:27.359 --> 00:38:27.799
 algorithms

00:38:27.799 --> 00:38:28.179
 do

00:38:28.179 --> 00:38:30.119
 and the

00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:30.480
 other thing

00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:30.839
 it does

00:38:30.839 --> 00:38:31.279
 is

00:38:31.279 --> 00:38:33.119
 outrage

00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:34.219
 spreads

00:38:34.219 --> 00:38:35.139
 faster than

00:38:35.139 --> 00:38:36.079
 moderate

00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:36.719
 opinion

00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:38.319
 there's

00:38:38.319 --> 00:38:38.839
 more

00:38:38.839 --> 00:38:40.859
 shares

00:38:40.859 --> 00:38:41.519
 of tweets

00:38:41.519 --> 00:38:42.039
 and things

00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:42.579
 where someone

00:38:42.579 --> 00:38:43.139
 is going

00:38:43.139 --> 00:38:44.239
 isn't that

00:38:44.239 --> 00:38:44.839
 person on

00:38:44.839 --> 00:38:45.119
 the other

00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:45.539
 side of

00:38:45.539 --> 00:38:46.439
 this issue

00:38:46.439 --> 00:38:47.139
 an idiot

00:38:47.139 --> 00:38:48.179
 if there's

00:38:48.179 --> 00:38:48.500
 anything

00:38:48.500 --> 00:38:50.379
 if there's

00:38:50.379 --> 00:38:51.079
 any rage

00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:51.879
 that spreads

00:38:51.879 --> 00:38:52.399
 faster

00:38:52.399 --> 00:38:55.199
 so it gives

00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:55.819
 us a sense

00:38:55.819 --> 00:38:56.539
 that we have

00:38:56.539 --> 00:38:57.679
 all the

00:38:57.679 --> 00:38:58.139
 information

00:38:58.139 --> 00:38:58.779
 but really

00:38:58.779 --> 00:38:59.379
 it's put us

00:38:59.379 --> 00:38:59.899
 in a bubble

00:38:59.899 --> 00:39:00.480
 and it's

00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:00.980
 encouraging

00:39:00.980 --> 00:39:02.539
 division

00:39:02.539 --> 00:39:05.199
 but

00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:07.319
 being in

00:39:07.319 --> 00:39:07.739
 Christ's

00:39:07.739 --> 00:39:08.159
 church

00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:09.879
 it

00:39:09.879 --> 00:39:10.599
 stretches

00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:11.139
 our own

00:39:11.139 --> 00:39:11.539
 thinking

00:39:11.539 --> 00:39:13.599
 my thoughts

00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:14.399
 being tested

00:39:14.399 --> 00:39:14.919
 by the

00:39:14.919 --> 00:39:15.460
 diversity

00:39:15.460 --> 00:39:15.779
 of the

00:39:15.779 --> 00:39:16.019
 body

00:39:16.019 --> 00:39:17.119
 in an

00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:17.559
 environment

00:39:17.559 --> 00:39:18.419
 of humility

00:39:18.419 --> 00:39:20.460
 in an

00:39:20.460 --> 00:39:20.839
 environment

00:39:20.839 --> 00:39:22.359
 of security

00:39:22.359 --> 00:39:23.159
 knowing

00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:23.699
 we're

00:39:23.699 --> 00:39:24.039
 loved

00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:25.599
 and in

00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:26.139
 that environment

00:39:26.139 --> 00:39:26.519
 that's

00:39:26.519 --> 00:39:27.239
 teaching me

00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:28.559
 to maintain

00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:29.239
 affection

00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:30.539
 while I

00:39:30.539 --> 00:39:31.239
 patiently

00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:31.879
 try and

00:39:31.879 --> 00:39:32.500
 convince one

00:39:32.500 --> 00:39:32.799
 another

00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:34.519
 it's two

00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:34.880
 totally

00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:35.140
 different

00:39:35.140 --> 00:39:35.539
 worlds

00:39:35.539 --> 00:39:39.039
 if we

00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:39.420
 just

00:39:39.420 --> 00:39:40.240
 unthinkingly

00:39:40.240 --> 00:39:42.240
 come at

00:39:42.240 --> 00:39:42.620
 topics

00:39:42.620 --> 00:39:43.019
 through what

00:39:43.019 --> 00:39:43.380
 we look

00:39:43.380 --> 00:39:44.039
 at online

00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:45.920
 we've got

00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:46.440
 to be aware

00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:47.120
 that it's

00:39:47.120 --> 00:39:47.980
 polarising us

00:39:47.980 --> 00:39:48.720
 against one

00:39:48.720 --> 00:39:49.000
 another

00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:49.560
 and we can

00:39:49.560 --> 00:39:50.080
 bring that

00:39:50.080 --> 00:39:50.519
 into the

00:39:50.519 --> 00:39:50.840
 church

00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:53.039
 when we're

00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:53.539
 called to

00:39:53.539 --> 00:39:53.920
 unity

00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:54.680
 for the

00:39:54.680 --> 00:39:55.080
 glory of

00:39:55.080 --> 00:39:55.360
 God's

00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:55.539
 sake

00:39:55.539 --> 00:39:58.820
 so again

00:39:58.820 --> 00:40:00.019
 social media

00:40:00.019 --> 00:40:00.599
 isn't the

00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:01.119
 root cause

00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:01.340
 of the

00:40:01.340 --> 00:40:01.619
 problem

00:40:01.619 --> 00:40:02.179
 we can

00:40:02.179 --> 00:40:02.579
 be it

00:40:02.579 --> 00:40:03.099
 we can

00:40:03.099 --> 00:40:03.759
 be physically

00:40:03.759 --> 00:40:04.380
 present at

00:40:04.380 --> 00:40:04.739
 church

00:40:04.739 --> 00:40:05.539
 and form

00:40:05.539 --> 00:40:06.000
 cliques

00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:06.679
 we can

00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:07.279
 be physically

00:40:07.279 --> 00:40:07.940
 present at

00:40:07.940 --> 00:40:08.219
 church

00:40:08.219 --> 00:40:09.239
 and pretend

00:40:09.239 --> 00:40:10.579
 playing happy

00:40:10.579 --> 00:40:11.139
 families

00:40:11.139 --> 00:40:12.239
 where no one

00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:12.779
 really knows

00:40:12.779 --> 00:40:13.279
 what's going

00:40:13.279 --> 00:40:13.639
 on

00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:16.599
 we can

00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:17.360
 rally around

00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:18.059
 people who

00:40:18.059 --> 00:40:19.279
 have our

00:40:19.279 --> 00:40:19.659
 opinion

00:40:19.659 --> 00:40:21.179
 and cast

00:40:21.179 --> 00:40:21.679
 rocks at

00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:22.199
 everyone else

00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:23.659
 it's not

00:40:23.659 --> 00:40:24.759
 the tech

00:40:24.759 --> 00:40:25.279
 per se

00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:26.519
 but

00:40:26.519 --> 00:40:28.360
 this tech

00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:29.280
 is

00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:30.840
 aimed at

00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:31.600
 undermining

00:40:31.600 --> 00:40:32.580
 our propensity

00:40:32.580 --> 00:40:33.360
 towards those

00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:33.700
 things

00:40:33.700 --> 00:40:39.920
 but then

00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:41.060
 as a tool

00:40:41.060 --> 00:40:42.880
 it hasn't

00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:43.360
 been helpful

00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:43.700
 for this

00:40:43.700 --> 00:40:44.280
 church family

00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:46.200
 the meal

00:40:46.200 --> 00:40:46.760
 rosters

00:40:46.760 --> 00:40:48.519
 we've benefited

00:40:48.519 --> 00:40:49.140
 from those

00:40:49.140 --> 00:40:50.940
 being organised

00:40:50.940 --> 00:40:51.400
 online

00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:52.800
 the amount

00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:53.120
 of good

00:40:53.120 --> 00:40:53.620
 articles

00:40:53.620 --> 00:40:54.360
 and books

00:40:54.360 --> 00:40:54.840
 that people

00:40:54.840 --> 00:40:55.400
 share to

00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:55.579
 one

00:40:55.579 --> 00:40:57.880
 I know

00:40:57.880 --> 00:40:58.220
 the women

00:40:58.220 --> 00:40:59.539
 I know

00:40:59.539 --> 00:41:00.360
 second hand

00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:00.760
 I'm not

00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:01.059
 reading

00:41:01.059 --> 00:41:01.600
 but

00:41:01.600 --> 00:41:03.160
 second hand

00:41:03.160 --> 00:41:03.340
 through

00:41:03.340 --> 00:41:03.620
 Emma

00:41:03.620 --> 00:41:04.400
 the prayer

00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:04.820
 points

00:41:04.820 --> 00:41:05.340
 you guys

00:41:05.340 --> 00:41:05.800
 share

00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:06.460
 through the

00:41:06.460 --> 00:41:06.760
 Facebook

00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:07.800
 group

00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:09.559
 that's a

00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:09.760
 lovely

00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:10.180
 thing

00:41:10.179 --> 00:41:11.179
 tool

00:41:11.179 --> 00:41:12.039
 I know

00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:12.059
 I know

00:41:12.059 --> 00:41:12.239
 there's

00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:12.440
 a lot

00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:12.539
 of

00:41:12.539 --> 00:41:13.019
 organisation

00:41:13.019 --> 00:41:13.679
 that goes

00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:13.859
 into

00:41:13.859 --> 00:41:15.019
 Sunday

00:41:15.019 --> 00:41:15.440
 meeting

00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:15.719
 and

00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:16.299
 midweek

00:41:16.299 --> 00:41:16.699
 groups

00:41:16.699 --> 00:41:18.000
 even

00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:18.319
 our

00:41:18.319 --> 00:41:20.679
 connection

00:41:20.679 --> 00:41:20.940
 with

00:41:20.940 --> 00:41:21.099
 Matt

00:41:21.099 --> 00:41:21.219
 and

00:41:21.219 --> 00:41:21.599
 Grace

00:41:21.599 --> 00:41:23.059
 that's

00:41:23.059 --> 00:41:23.519
 a

00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:24.259
 great

00:41:24.259 --> 00:41:24.819
 feature

00:41:24.819 --> 00:41:25.319
 now

00:41:25.319 --> 00:41:26.119
 that we

00:41:26.119 --> 00:41:26.279
 can

00:41:26.279 --> 00:41:26.659
 encourage

00:41:26.659 --> 00:41:26.839
 them

00:41:26.839 --> 00:41:27.019
 from

00:41:27.019 --> 00:41:27.379
 afar

00:41:27.380 --> 00:41:29.660
 I

00:41:29.660 --> 00:41:29.980
 have

00:41:29.980 --> 00:41:30.140
 no

00:41:30.140 --> 00:41:30.440
 idea

00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:30.660
 of

00:41:30.660 --> 00:41:30.840
 all

00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:30.980
 the

00:41:30.980 --> 00:41:31.160
 one

00:41:31.160 --> 00:41:31.240
 to

00:41:31.240 --> 00:41:31.400
 one

00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:32.000
 conversations

00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:32.380
 that are

00:41:32.380 --> 00:41:32.700
 happening

00:41:32.700 --> 00:41:33.660
 through

00:41:33.660 --> 00:41:33.960
 social

00:41:33.960 --> 00:41:34.119
 media

00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:34.740
 it is

00:41:34.740 --> 00:41:35.160
 a tool

00:41:35.160 --> 00:41:36.220
 don't

00:41:36.220 --> 00:41:36.820
 hear me

00:41:36.820 --> 00:41:37.220
 saying

00:41:37.220 --> 00:41:39.240
 I don't

00:41:39.240 --> 00:41:39.440
 know

00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:40.140
 it's

00:41:40.140 --> 00:41:40.519
 evil

00:41:40.519 --> 00:41:41.300
 100%

00:41:41.300 --> 00:41:41.460
 evil

00:41:41.460 --> 00:41:42.119
 it's

00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:42.539
 a tool

00:41:42.539 --> 00:41:46.980
 but the

00:41:46.980 --> 00:41:47.380
 church

00:41:47.380 --> 00:41:47.820
 needs to

00:41:47.820 --> 00:41:48.220
 be what's

00:41:48.220 --> 00:41:48.740
 influencing

00:41:48.740 --> 00:41:49.280
 and filling

00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:49.820
 our minds

00:41:49.820 --> 00:41:50.579
 not social

00:41:50.579 --> 00:41:50.880
 media

00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:53.800
 so let

00:41:53.800 --> 00:41:54.099
 me finish

00:41:54.099 --> 00:41:54.640
 by asking

00:41:54.640 --> 00:41:55.280
 what do

00:41:55.280 --> 00:41:55.820
 you do

00:41:55.820 --> 00:41:56.860
 what do

00:41:56.860 --> 00:41:57.220
 we do

00:41:57.220 --> 00:41:57.720
 if we

00:41:57.720 --> 00:41:58.280
 sense

00:41:58.280 --> 00:41:58.700
 the

00:41:58.700 --> 00:41:59.320
 empty

00:41:59.320 --> 00:41:59.800
 promises

00:41:59.800 --> 00:42:00.340
 of being

00:42:00.340 --> 00:42:00.820
 totally

00:42:00.820 --> 00:42:01.280
 connected

00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:02.079
 24-7

00:42:02.079 --> 00:42:03.059
 and yet

00:42:03.059 --> 00:42:04.320
 you're not

00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:04.640
 truly

00:42:04.640 --> 00:42:05.119
 known

00:42:05.119 --> 00:42:07.500
 but then

00:42:07.500 --> 00:42:09.019
 you haven't

00:42:09.019 --> 00:42:09.740
 felt the

00:42:09.740 --> 00:42:10.680
 depth of

00:42:10.680 --> 00:42:11.400
 family

00:42:11.400 --> 00:42:12.019
 community

00:42:12.019 --> 00:42:12.519
 in the

00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:12.840
 church

00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:13.280
 like

00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:14.160
 I've

00:42:14.160 --> 00:42:14.240
 been

00:42:14.240 --> 00:42:14.519
 talking

00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:14.640
 about

00:42:14.640 --> 00:42:15.480
 these

00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:15.780
 six

00:42:15.780 --> 00:42:16.079
 weeks

00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:19.440
 what do

00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:19.760
 you do

00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:23.160
 well

00:42:23.160 --> 00:42:24.680
 I think

00:42:24.680 --> 00:42:24.840
 our

00:42:24.840 --> 00:42:25.600
 experience

00:42:25.600 --> 00:42:26.140
 of church

00:42:26.140 --> 00:42:26.700
 isn't

00:42:26.700 --> 00:42:27.220
 what should

00:42:27.220 --> 00:42:27.960
 guide us

00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:30.600
 we need

00:42:30.600 --> 00:42:30.720
 it

00:42:30.720 --> 00:42:31.280
 our starting

00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:31.760
 point needs

00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:32.100
 to be

00:42:32.100 --> 00:42:32.780
 seeing the

00:42:32.780 --> 00:42:33.020
 church

00:42:33.020 --> 00:42:33.560
 through God's

00:42:33.560 --> 00:42:33.920
 eyes

00:42:33.920 --> 00:42:35.100
 that

00:42:35.100 --> 00:42:36.540
 you are

00:42:36.540 --> 00:42:37.080
 the church

00:42:37.080 --> 00:42:37.680
 you do

00:42:37.680 --> 00:42:38.200
 belong

00:42:38.200 --> 00:42:39.820
 in Christ's

00:42:39.820 --> 00:42:40.060
 body

00:42:40.060 --> 00:42:42.680
 it's

00:42:42.680 --> 00:42:43.320
 according to

00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:43.560
 God's

00:42:43.560 --> 00:42:44.260
 eternal plan

00:42:44.260 --> 00:42:45.360
 it's by

00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:45.700
 the blood

00:42:45.700 --> 00:42:45.960
 of his

00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:46.280
 son

00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:47.940
 you are

00:42:47.940 --> 00:42:48.440
 cherished

00:42:48.440 --> 00:42:48.860
 in his

00:42:48.860 --> 00:42:49.260
 people

00:42:49.260 --> 00:42:51.540
 it's

00:42:51.540 --> 00:42:52.080
 understanding

00:42:52.080 --> 00:42:52.620
 that church

00:42:52.620 --> 00:42:53.200
 is what

00:42:53.200 --> 00:42:53.700
 we are

00:42:53.700 --> 00:42:55.480
 and then

00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:55.640
 it's

00:42:55.640 --> 00:42:56.120
 understanding

00:42:56.120 --> 00:42:57.120
 it's our

00:42:57.120 --> 00:42:57.620
 call

00:42:57.620 --> 00:42:58.540
 to be

00:42:58.540 --> 00:42:59.820
 every

00:42:59.820 --> 00:43:00.440
 joint

00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:01.060
 and ligament

00:43:01.060 --> 00:43:02.000
 working

00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:02.640
 together

00:43:02.640 --> 00:43:03.220
 to build

00:43:03.220 --> 00:43:03.580
 up the

00:43:03.580 --> 00:43:03.820
 body

00:43:03.820 --> 00:43:05.120
 it's

00:43:05.120 --> 00:43:05.600
 believing

00:43:05.600 --> 00:43:06.260
 that that

00:43:06.260 --> 00:43:06.660
 call

00:43:06.660 --> 00:43:07.320
 is what

00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:07.540
 we were

00:43:07.540 --> 00:43:07.880
 designed

00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:08.140
 for

00:43:08.140 --> 00:43:08.640
 and saved

00:43:08.640 --> 00:43:08.880
 for

00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:11.200
 it's

00:43:11.200 --> 00:43:11.700
 knowing

00:43:11.700 --> 00:43:12.140
 you are

00:43:12.140 --> 00:43:12.500
 the family

00:43:12.500 --> 00:43:12.980
 of God

00:43:12.980 --> 00:43:14.820
 that's

00:43:14.820 --> 00:43:15.020
 what's

00:43:15.020 --> 00:43:15.240
 going to

00:43:15.240 --> 00:43:15.580
 get us

00:43:15.580 --> 00:43:15.860
 out of

00:43:15.860 --> 00:43:16.180
 our own

00:43:16.180 --> 00:43:16.460
 heads

00:43:16.460 --> 00:43:16.740
 so

00:43:16.739 --> 00:43:18.259
 can I

00:43:18.259 --> 00:43:18.399
 just

00:43:18.399 --> 00:43:18.699
 encourage

00:43:18.699 --> 00:43:18.819
 you

00:43:18.819 --> 00:43:19.119
 don't

00:43:19.119 --> 00:43:19.539
 wait

00:43:19.539 --> 00:43:19.979
 until

00:43:19.979 --> 00:43:20.159
 you

00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:20.639
 feel

00:43:20.639 --> 00:43:21.139
 connected

00:43:21.139 --> 00:43:22.579
 trust

00:43:22.579 --> 00:43:23.059
 God

00:43:23.059 --> 00:43:23.339
 that

00:43:23.339 --> 00:43:23.479
 you

00:43:23.479 --> 00:43:23.799
 are

00:43:23.799 --> 00:43:24.259
 connected

00:43:24.259 --> 00:43:24.559
 and

00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:25.179
 dive

00:43:25.179 --> 00:43:25.559
 in

00:43:25.559 --> 00:43:27.699
 do you

00:43:27.699 --> 00:43:27.899
 get the

00:43:27.899 --> 00:43:28.079
 difference

00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:28.399
 don't

00:43:28.399 --> 00:43:28.759
 wait

00:43:28.759 --> 00:43:29.159
 until

00:43:29.159 --> 00:43:29.319
 you

00:43:29.319 --> 00:43:29.500
 feel

00:43:29.500 --> 00:43:29.919
 connected

00:43:29.919 --> 00:43:31.239
 trust

00:43:31.239 --> 00:43:31.559
 God

00:43:31.559 --> 00:43:31.739
 that

00:43:31.739 --> 00:43:32.359
 you

00:43:32.359 --> 00:43:32.699
 are

00:43:32.699 --> 00:43:33.459
 spiritually

00:43:33.459 --> 00:43:34.599
 we

00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:34.819
 are

00:43:34.819 --> 00:43:34.979
 the

00:43:34.979 --> 00:43:35.239
 family

00:43:35.239 --> 00:43:35.419
 of

00:43:35.419 --> 00:43:35.719
 God

00:43:35.719 --> 00:43:36.279
 so

00:43:36.279 --> 00:43:36.599
 dive

00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:37.179
 in

00:43:37.179 --> 00:43:41.579
 brothers

00:43:41.579 --> 00:43:41.739
 and

00:43:41.739 --> 00:43:41.899
 sisters

00:43:41.899 --> 00:43:42.259
 let's

00:43:42.259 --> 00:43:42.419
 not

00:43:42.419 --> 00:43:42.779
 settle

00:43:42.779 --> 00:43:42.960
 for

00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:43.139
 a

00:43:43.139 --> 00:43:43.419
 cheap

00:43:43.419 --> 00:43:44.000
 imitation

00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:44.500
 of

00:43:44.500 --> 00:43:45.079
 connection

00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:45.659
 that

00:43:45.659 --> 00:43:46.099
 revolves

00:43:46.099 --> 00:43:46.399
 around

00:43:46.399 --> 00:43:46.940
 self

00:43:46.940 --> 00:43:47.799
 preferences

00:43:47.799 --> 00:43:51.379
 if we

00:43:51.379 --> 00:43:51.799
 do that

00:43:51.799 --> 00:43:51.980
 we're

00:43:51.980 --> 00:43:52.079
 going to

00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:52.259
 be

00:43:52.259 --> 00:43:52.699
 tossed

00:43:52.699 --> 00:43:52.980
 to

00:43:52.980 --> 00:43:53.179
 and

00:43:53.179 --> 00:43:53.440
 fro

00:43:53.440 --> 00:43:54.319
 by

00:43:54.319 --> 00:43:54.460
 the

00:43:54.460 --> 00:43:54.819
 world

00:43:54.819 --> 00:43:58.539
 because

00:43:58.539 --> 00:43:59.539
 we

00:43:59.539 --> 00:44:00.399
 as

00:44:00.399 --> 00:44:00.559
 the

00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:01.000
 church

00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:01.559
 can

00:44:01.559 --> 00:44:01.919
 show

00:44:01.919 --> 00:44:02.239
 a

00:44:02.239 --> 00:44:03.139
 polarized

00:44:03.139 --> 00:44:05.500
 addicted

00:44:05.500 --> 00:44:06.819
 narcissistic

00:44:06.820 --> 00:44:08.420
 I know

00:44:08.420 --> 00:44:08.760
 that doesn't

00:44:08.760 --> 00:44:09.140
 apply to

00:44:09.140 --> 00:44:09.460
 absolutely

00:44:09.460 --> 00:44:09.800
 everyone

00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:10.180
 but we

00:44:10.180 --> 00:44:10.539
 can show

00:44:10.539 --> 00:44:10.860
 the world

00:44:10.860 --> 00:44:11.180
 a different

00:44:11.180 --> 00:44:11.500
 way

00:44:11.500 --> 00:44:12.620
 we can

00:44:12.620 --> 00:44:12.960
 show the

00:44:12.960 --> 00:44:13.160
 world

00:44:13.160 --> 00:44:13.460
 what

00:44:13.460 --> 00:44:14.380
 unity

00:44:14.380 --> 00:44:15.019
 looks like

00:44:15.019 --> 00:44:16.039
 what

00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:16.539
 peace

00:44:16.539 --> 00:44:17.100
 in

00:44:17.100 --> 00:44:17.420
 Christ

00:44:17.420 --> 00:44:17.660
 looks

00:44:17.660 --> 00:44:17.920
 like

00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:19.559
 and

00:44:19.559 --> 00:44:19.680
 that

00:44:19.680 --> 00:44:19.800
 will

00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:20.059
 give

00:44:20.059 --> 00:44:20.600
 great

00:44:20.600 --> 00:44:20.880
 glory

00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:21.059
 to

00:44:21.059 --> 00:44:21.320
 God
