00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.760
 Good morning, everyone, and happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:10.380
 I got the standard socks this morning, which declares that apparently I'm number one dad.

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:13.640
 So that settles the matter. That's the final word on that.

00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:20.300
 In fact, I got five pairs that say I am number one dad, so I get to wear them every day at work.

00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:22.760
 So, yeah, anyway.

00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:26.839
 Have a great day.

00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:30.480
 On the screen is one of my prized possessions.

00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:35.939
 It's a certificate of competency as a powder man.

00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:38.079
 Now, that's not a license as a makeup artist.

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.500
 It's, in fact, an explosives license.

00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.120
 And I got that when I was 21.

00:00:45.659 --> 00:00:49.560
 And I don't know why you're laughing.

00:00:51.060 --> 00:00:55.340
 I used to wear flannelette shirts before they were famous and before they were fashionable.

00:00:55.340 --> 00:00:58.540
 In fact, it's when all Bogans wore them.

00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:02.100
 And so that was many years ago now.

00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:04.380
 But as soon as I got that license...

00:01:04.380 --> 00:01:05.820
 Let's go back to the other screen. Oh, good.

00:01:06.219 --> 00:01:12.700
 As soon as I got that license, I went out and bought 25 kilograms of explosives,

00:01:12.700 --> 00:01:17.240
 which I was allowed to do because I had a license.

00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:19.200
 I was a competent powder man.

00:01:19.900 --> 00:01:23.960
 And my grandmother was visiting at the time that I did this,

00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:26.219
 and so I wanted to show her my newfound skill.

00:01:27.020 --> 00:01:31.719
 And so I picked this old dead tree, which is about 300 meters from our house,

00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:38.240
 and decided that I would show her how to dislodge a tree using explosives.

00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.479
 I calculated the size of the tree and all that sort of stuff.

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.819
 I needed about four kilograms of explosives,

00:01:45.819 --> 00:01:50.140
 so I prepared some strategic holes under the tree.

00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:55.579
 And then I had one of those moments, which you have when you're 21,

00:01:55.979 --> 00:01:59.719
 of thinking, well, what if four kilograms is not enough?

00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:04.420
 I knew, for instance, that you couldn't put...

00:02:04.420 --> 00:02:05.719
 You couldn't do a second blast.

00:02:05.819 --> 00:02:07.099
 You had one attempt at this.

00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:10.879
 And so I decided, well, let's just add a little bit more,

00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:12.639
 just to make sure.

00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.759
 And after topping up the four kilos,

00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.500
 I realised in my bucket of prepared explosives

00:02:20.500 --> 00:02:22.740
 that I had were just a little bit left over.

00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:24.740
 And so I put that in too.

00:02:24.740 --> 00:02:26.980
 And so in the end of it,

00:02:27.100 --> 00:02:30.719
 I ended up with eight kilos of explosives under this tree,

00:02:31.600 --> 00:02:33.460
 went out and got my grandmother,

00:02:33.640 --> 00:02:35.780
 stood her in the position that she needed to be standing.

00:02:36.980 --> 00:02:40.460
 I went and I lit the fuse, which is a two-minute fuse,

00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:45.780
 and you hastily walk away from the explosion site at that point.

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:47.360
 Don't run, because you might trip over.

00:02:47.820 --> 00:02:49.180
 You hastily walk away.

00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.100
 And then I got to where my grandmother was,

00:02:52.100 --> 00:02:54.580
 which was just outside the back door of our house,

00:02:55.580 --> 00:02:57.240
 and in that moment,

00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.080
 I'm doing what sensible people do,

00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.120
 and you go over the calculations again

00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:05.520
 to make sure you got it all right.

00:03:06.040 --> 00:03:07.900
 Now, most sensible people do that

00:03:07.900 --> 00:03:09.180
 before they've lit the fuse.

00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:11.420
 But I'm sitting there,

00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:12.719
 and it was at that moment I thought,

00:03:13.219 --> 00:03:15.219
 oh, my goodness, there's one calculation I forgot,

00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.920
 and that was the calculation of amount of explosives

00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:22.360
 compared to distance from the blast site

00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:23.140
 that you need to be.

00:03:23.139 --> 00:03:27.139
 And it just went poof.

00:03:27.939 --> 00:03:29.779
 And what happens is you see it.

00:03:30.679 --> 00:03:33.539
 Then you hear it, and then you feel it.

00:03:34.119 --> 00:03:35.559
 That's what happens with an explosion.

00:03:35.699 --> 00:03:36.399
 It's awesome.

00:03:36.839 --> 00:03:38.699
 And that's going back to last week.

00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:39.799
 It truly is awesome.

00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:45.900
 And so it was at that moment I realised 300 metres from the blast site

00:03:45.900 --> 00:03:48.580
 is correct for four kilos, but not for eight.

00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.000
 It went off,

00:03:52.060 --> 00:03:53.800
 and it all...

00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:56.520
 You know, the tree's on its mission to Mars.

00:03:58.180 --> 00:04:00.820
 And there's stuff going everywhere.

00:04:00.819 --> 00:04:03.979
 And then there's this eerie silence.

00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:07.819
 And then I could start hearing this...

00:04:07.819 --> 00:04:10.780
 What's that?

00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:12.680
 It's getting louder.

00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:16.500
 And it's sounding like it's pretty fast.

00:04:16.500 --> 00:04:18.500
 And then...

00:04:18.500 --> 00:04:20.459
 Right!

00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:22.079
 Five metres from us,

00:04:22.180 --> 00:04:23.860
 this rock the size of my fist

00:04:23.860 --> 00:04:25.939
 embedded itself into the ground.

00:04:31.139 --> 00:04:32.980
 By the grace of God,

00:04:33.300 --> 00:04:35.480
 I just grabbed a sheet of iron and put it over us.

00:04:36.139 --> 00:04:36.920
 What else can we do?

00:04:36.980 --> 00:04:38.420
 My grandma couldn't run to the house.

00:04:38.420 --> 00:04:39.960
 I mean, it was my first attempt to think,

00:04:40.060 --> 00:04:40.819
 well, she's lived long.

00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:41.480
 I mean, it's okay.

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:42.420
 You know?

00:04:43.699 --> 00:04:45.160
 I'm only young, you know?

00:04:45.220 --> 00:04:46.480
 I've got a lot to live for here.

00:04:46.500 --> 00:04:47.020
 I could run.

00:04:47.080 --> 00:04:47.420
 But anyway,

00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:49.120
 all this stuff comes down.

00:04:49.780 --> 00:04:51.879
 And just to give you an idea,

00:04:52.200 --> 00:04:53.080
 a lump of wood,

00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:55.780
 the size of our communion table behind us here,

00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:01.160
 landed 300 metres past us.

00:05:04.180 --> 00:05:04.580
 Okay.

00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.259
 So it travelled 600...

00:05:07.259 --> 00:05:10.000
 It landed 600 metres from the blast site

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.360
 in the neighbour's place.

00:05:13.599 --> 00:05:16.079
 For it to land 600 metres away,

00:05:16.300 --> 00:05:17.860
 it goes twice as high.

00:05:18.019 --> 00:05:21.360
 So it went 1.2 kilometres into the air

00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:23.620
 and boom!

00:05:24.099 --> 00:05:25.120
 Into his...

00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:26.800
 You need a tractor to pull it out

00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:28.060
 of where it landed.

00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:31.079
 And it was pretty impressive.

00:05:31.719 --> 00:05:34.180
 And it was purely by the grace of God

00:05:34.180 --> 00:05:36.699
 that no one was killed.

00:05:36.699 --> 00:05:38.279
 No animals were injured

00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:39.719
 in the whole experiment.

00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:40.699
 No dents,

00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:42.639
 no windows were broken,

00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:43.699
 no cars were dented.

00:05:43.899 --> 00:05:46.579
 Nothing went wrong at all.

00:05:47.860 --> 00:05:49.180
 Now, at 21,

00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.779
 I had a certificate of competency

00:05:51.779 --> 00:05:53.099
 as a powder man,

00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.159
 but I wasn't competent

00:05:55.159 --> 00:05:57.240
 in regard to the realities of life.

00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.639
 That's a pretty dangerous combination.

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:02.920
 Pretty dangerous combination.

00:06:03.300 --> 00:06:04.240
 The definition of wisdom

00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:05.300
 that we've been working with

00:06:05.300 --> 00:06:06.240
 in this series is

00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.199
 is that wisdom is becoming competent

00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.560
 in regard to the realities of life.

00:06:11.400 --> 00:06:14.420
 Wisdom is more than just pure intellect

00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:16.100
 and passing exams

00:06:16.100 --> 00:06:17.379
 and gathering qualifications

00:06:17.379 --> 00:06:18.800
 such as certificate of competency

00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:19.540
 as a powder man.

00:06:20.019 --> 00:06:20.780
 Wisdom is knowing

00:06:20.780 --> 00:06:22.420
 how things actually are

00:06:22.420 --> 00:06:23.519
 in this world,

00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.040
 how things work in this world,

00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:25.960
 and how to live

00:06:25.960 --> 00:06:27.160
 in accordance to that.

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:29.640
 Now, it's 26 years

00:06:29.640 --> 00:06:31.800
 since I made that decision

00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:33.060
 and blew up that tree.

00:06:33.780 --> 00:06:35.340
 And I've got 26 years

00:06:35.340 --> 00:06:37.180
 more of experience behind me now

00:06:37.180 --> 00:06:38.560
 and I've still got the license.

00:06:39.100 --> 00:06:40.960
 I've grown and I've changed.

00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:41.980
 And if I had exactly

00:06:41.980 --> 00:06:43.980
 the same opportunity again,

00:06:44.320 --> 00:06:46.360
 I'd do exactly the same thing.

00:06:46.620 --> 00:06:47.720
 It was awesome,

00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:48.480
 let me tell you.

00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.300
 It was fantastic.

00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:52.379
 I mean, there's nothing like

00:06:52.379 --> 00:06:53.759
 a great explosion.

00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:55.860
 Except this time,

00:06:55.900 --> 00:06:56.319
 what I'd do is

00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:57.400
 I'd stand a bit further away.

00:06:57.939 --> 00:06:58.439
 That's all.

00:06:58.580 --> 00:07:00.000
 I'd still overload the tree.

00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:01.060
 I'd still put too much in.

00:07:01.100 --> 00:07:02.020
 It's just a habit of mine.

00:07:02.100 --> 00:07:02.780
 I overload, you know.

00:07:03.259 --> 00:07:05.600
 But I'd just stand further away.

00:07:05.700 --> 00:07:07.379
 See, making wise choices

00:07:07.379 --> 00:07:09.140
 is the key to wisdom.

00:07:09.460 --> 00:07:10.860
 It's one of the key elements,

00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:11.580
 if you like, to wisdom.

00:07:12.100 --> 00:07:13.600
 It's not too much to say

00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.080
 that you make or break your life,

00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:17.359
 or potentially other people's lives,

00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:20.659
 on the basis of your choices.

00:07:22.620 --> 00:07:24.459
 There's a whole category of choices

00:07:24.459 --> 00:07:26.539
 that you don't need a lot of help with.

00:07:27.539 --> 00:07:29.199
 You know, it might be

00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.159
 20% of the choices we face,

00:07:31.259 --> 00:07:33.879
 you don't need a whole lot of,

00:07:33.979 --> 00:07:35.000
 you don't need to spend time.

00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:35.799
 You know, for instance,

00:07:36.219 --> 00:07:39.259
 you're married or a married person

00:07:39.259 --> 00:07:41.659
 propositions you to commit adultery

00:07:41.659 --> 00:07:43.279
 and the things might not be going well

00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:43.979
 in your own marriage

00:07:43.979 --> 00:07:45.360
 and this is a very real possibility.

00:07:46.939 --> 00:07:48.079
 It's not something

00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:49.279
 you need to pray about.

00:07:50.459 --> 00:07:51.939
 You don't need to spend time

00:07:51.939 --> 00:07:52.399
 on that work.

00:07:52.419 --> 00:07:53.699
 What's the will of God at this point?

00:07:53.899 --> 00:07:55.379
 He's made it really clear

00:07:55.379 --> 00:07:56.099
 in the Bible.

00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:56.819
 Don't do it.

00:07:58.180 --> 00:08:00.459
 But there's about 80% of choices in life

00:08:00.459 --> 00:08:02.360
 where, is this the right person to hire?

00:08:02.479 --> 00:08:03.360
 Is this the right career?

00:08:03.599 --> 00:08:05.319
 Is this the right amount of freedom

00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:06.959
 to give my child in this moment?

00:08:07.459 --> 00:08:10.620
 Is this the right person

00:08:10.620 --> 00:08:12.439
 to have confidence in?

00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:14.139
 Is this the right person to marry?

00:08:14.139 --> 00:08:16.639
 In those situations,

00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:17.839
 there is a number,

00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:19.839
 multitude of options.

00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:22.339
 And most of those decisions

00:08:22.339 --> 00:08:23.979
 are moral,

00:08:24.459 --> 00:08:26.000
 most of them are legal,

00:08:26.479 --> 00:08:28.139
 most of them are allowable,

00:08:28.300 --> 00:08:29.379
 but it doesn't mean that,

00:08:29.479 --> 00:08:29.899
 therefore,

00:08:30.779 --> 00:08:31.819
 you don't need wisdom

00:08:31.819 --> 00:08:32.899
 in the choice.

00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:34.620
 Yeah, for instance,

00:08:35.139 --> 00:08:36.720
 it is totally legal

00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:38.259
 and allowable

00:08:38.259 --> 00:08:39.879
 for middle-aged men

00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:41.500
 to wear these pants.

00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:43.379
 You know,

00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.120
 I didn't break the law

00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:46.679
 when I bought these things.

00:08:47.819 --> 00:08:48.340
 However,

00:08:48.500 --> 00:08:49.340
 Lady Wisdom,

00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:51.559
 as Proverbs calls her,

00:08:51.620 --> 00:08:52.279
 and in my hand,

00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:53.059
 we call her Natalie,

00:08:55.259 --> 00:08:57.139
 as she suggests,

00:08:57.960 --> 00:08:59.259
 it is totally,

00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:01.179
 I should buck the trend

00:09:01.179 --> 00:09:02.319
 of middle-aged men

00:09:02.319 --> 00:09:03.819
 wearing these things

00:09:03.820 --> 00:09:04.840
 without putting shorts

00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:05.780
 over the top of them.

00:09:06.640 --> 00:09:06.940
 You see,

00:09:07.040 --> 00:09:08.520
 that's what wisdom does.

00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:11.120
 So we need guidance

00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.800
 to make a whole bunch

00:09:13.800 --> 00:09:15.160
 of choices in life,

00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:15.840
 all the decisions

00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:16.660
 that we face

00:09:16.660 --> 00:09:17.680
 where the Bible

00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:18.400
 is not,

00:09:18.980 --> 00:09:19.240
 you know,

00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:20.500
 black and white on them.

00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:22.060
 We need guidance

00:09:22.060 --> 00:09:24.400
 to make these wise decisions.

00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:25.240
 And the Hebrew word

00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:25.780
 for guidance

00:09:25.780 --> 00:09:27.120
 occurs a number of times

00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:27.760
 in Proverbs,

00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:30.379
 such as in Proverbs 11,

00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:31.159
 verse 3,

00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:32.039
 where it says,

00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:32.620
 the integrity

00:09:32.620 --> 00:09:34.240
 of the upright guides them,

00:09:34.740 --> 00:09:36.259
 but the unfaithful

00:09:36.259 --> 00:09:37.539
 are destroyed

00:09:37.539 --> 00:09:38.899
 by their duplicity.

00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:40.000
 Now,

00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:41.379
 the word that we translate

00:09:41.379 --> 00:09:42.379
 there into the English

00:09:42.379 --> 00:09:43.080
 word guidance

00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:44.960
 comes from the Hebrew word

00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:45.639
 rope.

00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:48.000
 It's the origin

00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:48.720
 of the word

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.120
 is of rope.

00:09:50.220 --> 00:09:50.939
 There is the idea

00:09:50.939 --> 00:09:52.139
 of sailing boats.

00:09:53.460 --> 00:09:54.360
 The rope

00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:55.740
 which hoists the sail

00:09:55.740 --> 00:09:56.860
 or lowers the sail

00:09:56.860 --> 00:09:58.139
 or changes the direction

00:09:58.139 --> 00:09:58.759
 of the sail.

00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:00.159
 It carries the concept

00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:01.340
 of navigation

00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:02.680
 to it.

00:10:04.060 --> 00:10:04.700
 And so that's

00:10:04.700 --> 00:10:05.560
 what we're facing here.

00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:06.240
 How do we get

00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:07.240
 God's navigation?

00:10:07.560 --> 00:10:07.960
 How do we get

00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:08.740
 God's guidance?

00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:09.539
 How do we get

00:10:09.539 --> 00:10:10.940
 God's navigation

00:10:10.940 --> 00:10:11.680
 when we're faced

00:10:11.680 --> 00:10:12.840
 with all these choices

00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:14.000
 about is it this way

00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:14.759
 or that way?

00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:16.500
 That's what we're

00:10:16.500 --> 00:10:17.080
 going to look at

00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:18.379
 very briefly.

00:10:19.539 --> 00:10:20.139
 And I suspect

00:10:20.139 --> 00:10:20.700
 by the time

00:10:20.700 --> 00:10:21.480
 we finish the day

00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:21.940
 you're going to be

00:10:21.940 --> 00:10:22.420
 frustrated.

00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:25.580
 Just give your heads

00:10:25.580 --> 00:10:26.159
 up on that one.

00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:27.240
 So let's have a look

00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:28.100
 at a couple of parables.

00:10:28.319 --> 00:10:29.039
 Proverbs 21

00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:30.399
 I've got an outline

00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:31.059
 in front of you

00:10:31.059 --> 00:10:31.939
 so hopefully

00:10:31.939 --> 00:10:32.860
 some of these passages

00:10:32.860 --> 00:10:33.620
 are in front of you.

00:10:34.319 --> 00:10:35.100
 Proverbs 21

00:10:35.100 --> 00:10:36.159
 verse 5

00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:37.719
 and 1633.

00:10:38.179 --> 00:10:38.980
 21 5

00:10:38.980 --> 00:10:40.299
 The plans of the diligent

00:10:40.299 --> 00:10:42.139
 lead to profit

00:10:42.139 --> 00:10:43.539
 as surely as haste

00:10:43.539 --> 00:10:44.459
 leads to poverty.

00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:46.259
 Now that proverb

00:10:46.259 --> 00:10:47.100
 to us

00:10:47.100 --> 00:10:48.240
 makes sense.

00:10:49.339 --> 00:10:50.220
 It encourages

00:10:50.220 --> 00:10:50.879
 action,

00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:51.379
 planning,

00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:52.039
 strategy,

00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:52.959
 making decisions.

00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:53.180
 decisions.

00:10:54.180 --> 00:10:54.980
 That's fine

00:10:54.980 --> 00:10:55.660
 and it's particularly

00:10:55.660 --> 00:10:56.220
 good for people

00:10:56.220 --> 00:10:56.780
 with my type

00:10:56.780 --> 00:10:57.420
 of personality.

00:10:58.620 --> 00:10:59.540
 But what about

00:10:59.540 --> 00:11:00.400
 Proverbs 16

00:11:00.400 --> 00:11:00.940
 33?

00:11:01.660 --> 00:11:02.800
 The lot is cast

00:11:02.800 --> 00:11:03.519
 into the lap

00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.000
 but it's every

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:05.540
 decision

00:11:05.540 --> 00:11:07.040
 is from the Lord.

00:11:07.980 --> 00:11:08.200
 Now

00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:09.900
 the lot casting

00:11:09.900 --> 00:11:10.600
 there is equivalent

00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:11.320
 to what we might

00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:12.759
 call rolling a dice

00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:13.759
 or flipping a coin

00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:14.259
 or picking

00:11:14.259 --> 00:11:15.720
 drawing a straw.

00:11:16.540 --> 00:11:17.480
 So what's it saying?

00:11:17.680 --> 00:11:18.040
 It's saying

00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:18.699
 that every

00:11:18.699 --> 00:11:20.339
 coin toss

00:11:20.339 --> 00:11:22.679
 every detail

00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:24.199
 comes down

00:11:24.199 --> 00:11:25.779
 exactly the way

00:11:25.779 --> 00:11:26.480
 that God

00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:27.219
 plans it

00:11:27.219 --> 00:11:28.000
 to come down.

00:11:31.179 --> 00:11:32.339
 How do you

00:11:32.339 --> 00:11:33.399
 hold

00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:34.199
 Proverbs 21

00:11:34.199 --> 00:11:34.659
 5

00:11:34.659 --> 00:11:35.599
 and 1633

00:11:35.599 --> 00:11:36.120
 together?

00:11:38.339 --> 00:11:39.179
 You see

00:11:39.179 --> 00:11:40.139
 we tend to feel

00:11:40.139 --> 00:11:41.379
 that either

00:11:41.379 --> 00:11:42.199
 our choices

00:11:42.199 --> 00:11:42.699
 matter

00:11:42.699 --> 00:11:44.000
 and our destiny

00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:45.199
 is fixed

00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.160
 or we believe

00:11:47.160 --> 00:11:48.120
 that everything

00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:48.740
 is fixed

00:11:48.740 --> 00:11:49.180
 and so

00:11:49.180 --> 00:11:50.020
 who cares

00:11:50.020 --> 00:11:50.440
 what you do?

00:11:51.140 --> 00:11:51.640
 We tend to

00:11:51.640 --> 00:11:52.580
 go on one

00:11:52.580 --> 00:11:53.140
 of those two

00:11:53.140 --> 00:11:54.720
 and yet the Bible

00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:55.500
 says that we

00:11:55.500 --> 00:11:56.340
 are absolutely

00:11:56.340 --> 00:11:56.960
 free

00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.140
 and absolutely

00:11:59.140 --> 00:11:59.720
 determined

00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:00.379
 at exactly

00:12:00.379 --> 00:12:01.220
 the same time.

00:12:01.220 --> 00:12:04.720
 we see it

00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:05.160
 again in

00:12:05.160 --> 00:12:05.879
 Proverbs 16

00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:06.320
 1

00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:07.379
 and verse

00:12:07.379 --> 00:12:08.040
 9

00:12:08.040 --> 00:12:08.800
 16

00:12:08.800 --> 00:12:09.259
 1

00:12:09.259 --> 00:12:10.460
 to humans

00:12:10.460 --> 00:12:10.860
 belong

00:12:10.860 --> 00:12:11.519
 the plans

00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:12.000
 of the heart

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:12.379
 but the

00:12:12.379 --> 00:12:12.840
 Lord

00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:13.580
 comes

00:12:13.580 --> 00:12:14.700
 from the

00:12:14.700 --> 00:12:14.860
 Lord

00:12:14.860 --> 00:12:15.120
 comes

00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:15.500
 the proper

00:12:15.500 --> 00:12:15.860
 answer

00:12:15.860 --> 00:12:16.040
 of the

00:12:16.040 --> 00:12:16.240
 tongue

00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:16.620
 then down

00:12:16.620 --> 00:12:16.940
 in verse

00:12:16.940 --> 00:12:17.300
 9

00:12:17.300 --> 00:12:18.259
 in their

00:12:18.259 --> 00:12:18.820
 hearts

00:12:18.820 --> 00:12:19.139
 humans

00:12:19.139 --> 00:12:19.620
 plan

00:12:19.620 --> 00:12:19.860
 their

00:12:19.860 --> 00:12:20.180
 course

00:12:20.180 --> 00:12:20.519
 but the

00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:21.160
 Lord

00:12:21.160 --> 00:12:22.399
 establishes

00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:22.660
 their

00:12:22.660 --> 00:12:23.180
 steps

00:12:23.180 --> 00:12:24.879
 your

00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:25.420
 plans

00:12:25.420 --> 00:12:25.740
 and your

00:12:25.740 --> 00:12:26.139
 choices

00:12:26.139 --> 00:12:26.720
 are

00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:27.320
 yours

00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:29.160
 you are

00:12:29.160 --> 00:12:29.720
 responsible

00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:30.019
 of them

00:12:30.019 --> 00:12:30.320
 God's

00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:30.500
 not

00:12:30.500 --> 00:12:31.399
 forcing you

00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:31.879
 in any

00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:32.340
 direction

00:12:32.340 --> 00:12:33.200
 do something

00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:33.759
 stupid

00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:34.340
 do something

00:12:34.340 --> 00:12:34.659
 wicked

00:12:34.659 --> 00:12:35.200
 do something

00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:35.559
 cruel

00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:36.039
 do something

00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:36.639
 selfish

00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:37.940
 and there

00:12:37.940 --> 00:12:38.299
 will be

00:12:38.299 --> 00:12:38.759
 bad

00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:39.539
 consequences

00:12:39.539 --> 00:12:40.139
 for those

00:12:40.139 --> 00:12:40.580
 things

00:12:40.580 --> 00:12:42.820
 people will

00:12:42.820 --> 00:12:43.259
 hold you

00:12:43.259 --> 00:12:43.720
 accountable

00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:44.279
 and they

00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:44.740
 should hold

00:12:44.740 --> 00:12:44.860
 you

00:12:44.860 --> 00:12:45.299
 accountable

00:12:45.299 --> 00:12:46.299
 the police

00:12:46.299 --> 00:12:46.639
 will hold

00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:46.740
 you

00:12:46.740 --> 00:12:47.039
 accountable

00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:47.500
 they should

00:12:47.500 --> 00:12:47.820
 hold you

00:12:47.820 --> 00:12:48.259
 accountable

00:12:48.259 --> 00:12:49.220
 God

00:12:49.220 --> 00:12:49.620
 will hold

00:12:49.620 --> 00:12:49.740
 you

00:12:49.740 --> 00:12:50.080
 accountable

00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:50.539
 and he

00:12:50.539 --> 00:12:50.840
 should

00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:51.220
 hold you

00:12:51.220 --> 00:12:51.659
 accountable

00:12:51.659 --> 00:12:53.279
 but

00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:54.299
 what

00:12:54.299 --> 00:12:54.899
 actually

00:12:54.899 --> 00:12:55.559
 happens

00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:56.139
 as a

00:12:56.139 --> 00:12:56.679
 result

00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:57.279
 of your

00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:57.899
 stupid

00:12:57.899 --> 00:12:58.480
 choices

00:12:58.480 --> 00:12:59.460
 are

00:12:59.460 --> 00:12:59.980
 absolutely

00:12:59.980 --> 00:13:00.720
 controlled

00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:01.680
 fixed

00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:02.680
 and set

00:13:02.680 --> 00:13:03.300
 by God

00:13:03.300 --> 00:13:04.840
 I made

00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:05.480
 a stupid

00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:05.980
 decision

00:13:05.980 --> 00:13:06.899
 to overload

00:13:06.899 --> 00:13:07.379
 a tree

00:13:07.379 --> 00:13:07.759
 stump

00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:08.480
 and it was

00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:09.259
 a complete

00:13:09.259 --> 00:13:09.860
 grace of

00:13:09.860 --> 00:13:10.379
 God that

00:13:10.379 --> 00:13:11.159
 nothing went

00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:11.539
 wrong

00:13:11.539 --> 00:13:17.960
 nothing happens

00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:18.420
 that is not

00:13:18.420 --> 00:13:18.800
 in accordance

00:13:18.800 --> 00:13:19.180
 with his

00:13:19.180 --> 00:13:19.539
 plan

00:13:19.539 --> 00:13:20.560
 our choices

00:13:20.560 --> 00:13:21.340
 belong to

00:13:21.340 --> 00:13:21.759
 us

00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:22.600
 but what

00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:23.100
 actually

00:13:23.100 --> 00:13:23.879
 happens as a

00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:24.379
 result of

00:13:24.379 --> 00:13:24.940
 those plans

00:13:24.940 --> 00:13:25.500
 is set by

00:13:25.500 --> 00:13:25.820
 God

00:13:25.820 --> 00:13:26.800
 and both

00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:27.120
 of those

00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:27.620
 things happen

00:13:27.620 --> 00:13:28.139
 at exactly

00:13:28.139 --> 00:13:28.559
 the same

00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:29.039
 time

00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:29.919
 it's not

00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:30.639

00:13:32.139 --> 00:13:32.639

00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:33.600
 it's

00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:34.879

00:13:35.860 --> 00:13:36.259
 choices

00:13:36.259 --> 00:13:37.419
 and 100%

00:13:37.419 --> 00:13:37.759
 determined

00:13:38.179 --> 00:13:38.460
 sovereignty

00:13:38.460 --> 00:13:38.919
 of God

00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:39.360
 and human

00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:39.980
 categories

00:13:39.980 --> 00:13:40.720
 cannot

00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:41.600
 work that

00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:41.919
 out

00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:42.360
 it just

00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:42.860
 blows

00:13:42.860 --> 00:13:43.480
 your mind

00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:45.439
 there is

00:13:45.439 --> 00:13:46.039
 no human

00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:46.500
 category

00:13:46.500 --> 00:13:46.919
 to fit

00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:47.439
 that in

00:13:47.439 --> 00:13:48.919
 we tend

00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:49.439
 to think

00:13:49.439 --> 00:13:50.659
 that things

00:13:50.659 --> 00:13:51.080
 are either

00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:51.659
 free

00:13:51.659 --> 00:13:52.700
 or they're

00:13:52.700 --> 00:13:53.159
 fixed

00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:55.639
 people in

00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:55.919
 ancient

00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:56.519
 times

00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:59.159
 essentially

00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:00.120
 saw that

00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:00.620
 people were

00:14:00.620 --> 00:14:00.959
 fated

00:14:00.959 --> 00:14:03.360
 the order

00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:03.980
 behind the

00:14:03.980 --> 00:14:04.439
 universe

00:14:04.439 --> 00:14:05.179
 was set

00:14:05.179 --> 00:14:05.579
 and you

00:14:05.579 --> 00:14:05.799
 either

00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:06.339
 learnt to

00:14:06.339 --> 00:14:06.980
 submit to

00:14:06.980 --> 00:14:07.500
 it in a

00:14:07.500 --> 00:14:08.120
 stoic

00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:09.159
 brave

00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:09.659
 kind of

00:14:09.659 --> 00:14:09.980
 way

00:14:09.980 --> 00:14:10.719
 or your

00:14:10.719 --> 00:14:11.179
 whole life

00:14:11.179 --> 00:14:11.399
 would be

00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:11.799
 dashed to

00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:12.079
 pieces

00:14:12.079 --> 00:14:13.279
 that's

00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:13.679
 that's the

00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:14.019
 ancient

00:14:14.019 --> 00:14:14.620
 times

00:14:14.620 --> 00:14:15.779
 one example

00:14:15.779 --> 00:14:16.779
 is

00:14:16.779 --> 00:14:17.459
 Oedipus

00:14:17.459 --> 00:14:17.839
 from

00:14:17.839 --> 00:14:18.659
 Oedipus

00:14:18.659 --> 00:14:19.919
 from Greek

00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:20.439
 mythology

00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:21.640
 who was

00:14:21.640 --> 00:14:22.160
 fated

00:14:22.160 --> 00:14:22.700
 in an

00:14:22.700 --> 00:14:23.280
 oracle

00:14:23.280 --> 00:14:24.080
 that he

00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:24.580
 was going

00:14:24.580 --> 00:14:25.460
 to kill

00:14:25.460 --> 00:14:26.180
 his father

00:14:26.180 --> 00:14:26.800
 and marry

00:14:26.800 --> 00:14:27.280
 his mother

00:14:27.280 --> 00:14:28.940
 and it

00:14:28.940 --> 00:14:29.240
 didn't

00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:29.760
 no matter

00:14:29.760 --> 00:14:30.460
 what he

00:14:30.460 --> 00:14:30.760
 did

00:14:30.760 --> 00:14:31.580
 he tried

00:14:31.580 --> 00:14:31.900
 to do

00:14:31.900 --> 00:14:32.500
 everything

00:14:32.500 --> 00:14:33.100
 possible

00:14:33.100 --> 00:14:33.700
 not to

00:14:33.700 --> 00:14:34.060
 do that

00:14:34.060 --> 00:14:34.560
 including

00:14:34.560 --> 00:14:35.460
 running

00:14:35.460 --> 00:14:36.080
 totally the

00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:36.280
 opposite

00:14:36.280 --> 00:14:36.660
 direction

00:14:36.660 --> 00:14:36.900
 to his

00:14:36.900 --> 00:14:37.380
 parents

00:14:37.380 --> 00:14:38.600
 it's

00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:39.480
 exactly

00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:40.220
 what

00:14:40.220 --> 00:14:40.700
 happened

00:14:40.700 --> 00:14:45.600
 now the

00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:46.020
 rise of

00:14:46.020 --> 00:14:46.460
 the Christian

00:14:46.460 --> 00:14:46.980
 faith

00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:47.500
 in those

00:14:47.500 --> 00:14:48.040
 times

00:14:48.040 --> 00:14:48.420
 brought

00:14:48.420 --> 00:14:48.940
 quite a

00:14:48.940 --> 00:14:49.240
 different

00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:49.700
 perspective

00:14:49.700 --> 00:14:50.000
 on the

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:50.380
 universe

00:14:50.379 --> 00:14:52.419
 Christianity

00:14:52.419 --> 00:14:53.639
 saw the

00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:54.100
 universe

00:14:54.100 --> 00:14:54.559
 and still

00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:54.960
 sees the

00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:55.220
 universe

00:14:55.220 --> 00:14:55.600
 not as

00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:55.720
 an

00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:56.539
 impersonal

00:14:56.539 --> 00:14:56.939
 order

00:14:56.939 --> 00:14:57.539
 that

00:14:57.539 --> 00:14:57.899
 somehow

00:14:57.899 --> 00:14:58.240
 you

00:14:58.240 --> 00:14:58.419
 were

00:14:58.419 --> 00:14:58.840
 fated

00:14:58.840 --> 00:14:59.299
 with

00:14:59.299 --> 00:14:59.939
 but as

00:14:59.939 --> 00:15:00.860
 a

00:15:00.860 --> 00:15:01.519
 universe

00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:02.080
 made

00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:02.539
 by a

00:15:02.539 --> 00:15:02.939
 personal

00:15:02.939 --> 00:15:03.439
 God

00:15:03.439 --> 00:15:05.139
 who

00:15:05.139 --> 00:15:05.639
 created

00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:06.240
 human

00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:06.659
 beings

00:15:06.659 --> 00:15:06.860
 as

00:15:06.860 --> 00:15:07.700
 responsible

00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:08.899
 moral

00:15:08.899 --> 00:15:09.439
 beings

00:15:09.439 --> 00:15:09.939
 and who

00:15:09.939 --> 00:15:10.399
 cared

00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:10.659
 about

00:15:10.659 --> 00:15:11.179
 how we

00:15:11.179 --> 00:15:11.379
 live

00:15:11.379 --> 00:15:11.600
 and he

00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:11.799
 still

00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:12.000
 cares

00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:12.159
 about

00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:12.480
 how we

00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:12.700
 live

00:15:12.700 --> 00:15:13.159
 and how

00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:13.279
 we

00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:13.580
 behave

00:15:13.580 --> 00:15:13.840
 and the

00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:14.100
 choices

00:15:14.100 --> 00:15:14.460
 that we

00:15:14.460 --> 00:15:14.820
 make

00:15:14.820 --> 00:15:15.940
 our

00:15:15.940 --> 00:15:16.460
 secular

00:15:16.460 --> 00:15:17.000
 culture

00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:17.759
 has

00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:18.159
 taken

00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:18.399
 the

00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:19.080
 corrective

00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:19.519
 good

00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:20.240
 that

00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:20.879
 Christianity

00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:21.779
 brought

00:15:21.779 --> 00:15:22.899
 into our

00:15:22.899 --> 00:15:23.559
 world

00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:24.279
 and has

00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:24.779
 taken it

00:15:24.779 --> 00:15:25.179
 into the

00:15:25.179 --> 00:15:25.639
 extreme

00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:25.980
 the other

00:15:25.980 --> 00:15:26.419
 way

00:15:26.419 --> 00:15:28.939
 that is

00:15:28.939 --> 00:15:29.879
 Christianity

00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:30.980
 poured

00:15:30.980 --> 00:15:31.699
 into

00:15:31.699 --> 00:15:32.319
 our

00:15:32.319 --> 00:15:33.279
 world

00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:34.500
 the importance

00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:35.460
 of individual

00:15:35.460 --> 00:15:36.039
 choices

00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:38.740
 and our

00:15:38.740 --> 00:15:39.120
 culture

00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:39.399
 has

00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:39.799
 gone

00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:40.419
 radically

00:15:40.419 --> 00:15:40.620
 and

00:15:40.620 --> 00:15:41.279
 increasingly

00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:42.120
 individualistic

00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:42.679
 take God

00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:42.899
 out of

00:15:42.899 --> 00:15:43.019
 the

00:15:43.019 --> 00:15:43.319
 picture

00:15:43.319 --> 00:15:44.079
 and so

00:15:44.079 --> 00:15:44.259
 the

00:15:44.259 --> 00:15:44.659
 highest

00:15:44.659 --> 00:15:45.159
 purpose

00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:45.519
 of our

00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:46.039
 culture

00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:46.839
 is to

00:15:46.839 --> 00:15:47.079
 set

00:15:47.079 --> 00:15:47.559
 all

00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:48.259
 individuals

00:15:48.259 --> 00:15:48.839
 free

00:15:48.839 --> 00:15:49.919
 to live

00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:50.539
 as they

00:15:50.539 --> 00:15:51.120
 choose

00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:51.659
 without

00:15:51.659 --> 00:15:52.159
 any

00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:52.599
 hindrance

00:15:52.599 --> 00:15:53.099
 from other

00:15:53.099 --> 00:15:53.419
 people

00:15:53.419 --> 00:15:53.899
 and certainly

00:15:53.899 --> 00:15:54.219
 not from

00:15:54.219 --> 00:15:54.500
 God

00:15:54.500 --> 00:15:56.299
 and so

00:15:56.299 --> 00:15:56.939
 choice

00:15:56.939 --> 00:15:57.519
 individual

00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:58.199
 choice

00:15:58.199 --> 00:15:59.480
 is the

00:15:59.480 --> 00:15:59.699
 one

00:15:59.699 --> 00:16:00.419
 sacred

00:16:00.419 --> 00:16:01.199
 value

00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:04.060
 and

00:16:04.060 --> 00:16:04.720
 discrimination

00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:05.360
 the only

00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:05.720
 moral

00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:06.100
 evil

00:16:06.100 --> 00:16:08.860
 we

00:16:08.860 --> 00:16:09.160
 tolerate

00:16:09.160 --> 00:16:09.820
 everything

00:16:09.820 --> 00:16:10.840
 except

00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:11.580
 intolerance

00:16:11.580 --> 00:16:14.100
 that is

00:16:14.100 --> 00:16:14.759
 in our

00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:15.180
 world

00:16:15.180 --> 00:16:15.920
 nothing is

00:16:15.920 --> 00:16:16.200
 set

00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:17.040
 nothing is

00:16:17.040 --> 00:16:17.520
 fixed

00:16:17.520 --> 00:16:18.300
 nothing is

00:16:18.300 --> 00:16:18.900
 determined

00:16:18.900 --> 00:16:19.800
 your future

00:16:19.800 --> 00:16:20.300
 is what you

00:16:20.300 --> 00:16:20.920
 make of it

00:16:20.920 --> 00:16:21.920
 and we

00:16:21.920 --> 00:16:22.600
 see that

00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:22.980
 when we

00:16:22.980 --> 00:16:23.740
 move from

00:16:23.740 --> 00:16:24.540
 Oedipus

00:16:24.540 --> 00:16:25.660
 in classic

00:16:25.660 --> 00:16:26.600
 ancient literature

00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:27.440
 to Marty

00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:28.080
 McFly

00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:29.100
 in classic

00:16:29.100 --> 00:16:29.480
 modern

00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:29.879
 Hollywood

00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:32.360
 at the

00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:32.799
 end of

00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:33.139
 the

00:16:33.139 --> 00:16:34.080
 Back to

00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:34.419
 the Future

00:16:34.419 --> 00:16:34.840
 trilogy

00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:35.559
 of movies

00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:37.360
 Doc Brown

00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:38.399
 explains

00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:39.299
 the profound

00:16:39.299 --> 00:16:40.120
 message

00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:41.439
 of those

00:16:41.439 --> 00:16:41.919
 movies

00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:43.419
 and he

00:16:43.419 --> 00:16:44.299
 says to

00:16:44.299 --> 00:16:44.620
 Marty

00:16:44.620 --> 00:16:45.139
 McFly

00:16:45.139 --> 00:16:46.000
 your future

00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:47.139
 is whatever

00:16:47.139 --> 00:16:48.100
 you make it

00:16:48.100 --> 00:16:49.039
 so make it

00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:49.580
 a good

00:16:49.580 --> 00:16:49.919
 one

00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:53.360
 that's

00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:53.720
 popular

00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:54.200
 culture

00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:55.340
 that's the

00:16:55.340 --> 00:16:55.679
 way our

00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:56.000
 world

00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:56.559
 thinks

00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:57.659
 that's what

00:16:57.659 --> 00:16:58.159
 we believe

00:16:58.159 --> 00:16:58.539
 in this

00:16:58.539 --> 00:16:58.980
 country

00:16:58.980 --> 00:17:00.920
 now while

00:17:00.920 --> 00:17:01.200
 it might

00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:01.820
 be hard

00:17:01.820 --> 00:17:02.200
 to hold

00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:02.600
 together

00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:03.379
 the concept

00:17:03.379 --> 00:17:03.720
 that

00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:04.380
 intellectually

00:17:04.380 --> 00:17:05.000
 hold together

00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:05.360
 that we're

00:17:05.360 --> 00:17:05.980
 100%

00:17:05.980 --> 00:17:06.400
 free

00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:07.559
 and 100%

00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:08.299
 fixed and

00:17:08.299 --> 00:17:08.640
 determined

00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:09.120
 at the same

00:17:09.120 --> 00:17:09.579
 time

00:17:09.579 --> 00:17:10.220
 there is

00:17:10.220 --> 00:17:10.559
 something

00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:11.319
 in our

00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:11.900
 hearts

00:17:11.900 --> 00:17:12.400
 that

00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:13.319
 connects

00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:13.779
 with that

00:17:13.779 --> 00:17:14.480
 and resonates

00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:15.120
 with that

00:17:15.120 --> 00:17:16.180
 there's

00:17:16.180 --> 00:17:16.660
 something about

00:17:16.660 --> 00:17:17.360
 it that rings

00:17:17.360 --> 00:17:17.960
 true

00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:18.839
 you see

00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:19.319
 if you

00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:19.740
 believe

00:17:19.740 --> 00:17:20.240
 that you

00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:20.700
 are either

00:17:20.700 --> 00:17:21.140
 totally

00:17:21.140 --> 00:17:21.400
 free

00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:21.860
 or totally

00:17:21.860 --> 00:17:22.380
 fixed

00:17:22.380 --> 00:17:23.900
 then put it

00:17:23.900 --> 00:17:24.319
 mildly

00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:24.880
 you're stuffed

00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:25.579
 either way

00:17:25.579 --> 00:17:27.779
 if you

00:17:27.779 --> 00:17:28.240
 believe that

00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:28.519
 there is

00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:29.299
 no connection

00:17:29.299 --> 00:17:30.000
 between your

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:30.740
 choices and

00:17:30.740 --> 00:17:31.439
 your destiny

00:17:31.439 --> 00:17:33.639
 that is

00:17:33.639 --> 00:17:34.079
 everything's

00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:34.399
 fixed

00:17:34.399 --> 00:17:34.859
 everything's

00:17:34.859 --> 00:17:35.220
 faded

00:17:35.220 --> 00:17:37.139
 then you're

00:17:37.139 --> 00:17:37.359
 going to be

00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:37.659
 totally

00:17:37.659 --> 00:17:38.359
 passive

00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:39.379
 you're going

00:17:39.379 --> 00:17:39.579
 to be

00:17:39.579 --> 00:17:40.099
 bored

00:17:40.099 --> 00:17:40.899
 you're going

00:17:40.899 --> 00:17:41.099
 to be

00:17:41.099 --> 00:17:41.539
 cynical

00:17:41.539 --> 00:17:42.419
 you're going

00:17:42.419 --> 00:17:42.599
 to be

00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:43.199
 hard

00:17:43.199 --> 00:17:43.980
 you're going

00:17:43.980 --> 00:17:44.139
 to be

00:17:44.139 --> 00:17:44.539
 indifferent

00:17:44.539 --> 00:17:45.079
 and in fact

00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:45.699
 too many

00:17:45.699 --> 00:17:46.559
 Christians who

00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:47.819
 believe 100%

00:17:47.819 --> 00:17:48.039
 in the

00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:48.519
 sovereignty of

00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:48.859
 God

00:17:48.859 --> 00:17:50.500
 default into

00:17:50.500 --> 00:17:51.079
 that position

00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:51.539
 of not

00:17:51.539 --> 00:17:52.539
 making any

00:17:52.539 --> 00:17:53.339
 choices or

00:17:53.339 --> 00:17:53.659
 doing

00:17:53.659 --> 00:17:54.339
 anything

00:17:54.339 --> 00:17:58.919
 however if

00:17:58.919 --> 00:17:59.279
 you go with

00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:00.039
 popular culture

00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:00.539
 and believe

00:18:00.539 --> 00:18:01.159
 that there is

00:18:01.159 --> 00:18:01.819
 a total

00:18:01.819 --> 00:18:02.419
 connection

00:18:02.419 --> 00:18:03.740
 between your

00:18:03.740 --> 00:18:04.339
 choices

00:18:04.339 --> 00:18:05.259
 and your

00:18:05.259 --> 00:18:05.779
 destiny

00:18:05.779 --> 00:18:06.699
 and if you

00:18:06.699 --> 00:18:08.059
 truly believe

00:18:08.059 --> 00:18:08.399
 that

00:18:08.399 --> 00:18:08.939
 that you

00:18:08.939 --> 00:18:09.699
 are free

00:18:09.699 --> 00:18:11.259
 and if you

00:18:11.259 --> 00:18:12.079
 truly thought

00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:12.720
 about it

00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:13.980
 you wouldn't

00:18:13.980 --> 00:18:14.519
 get out of

00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:14.939
 bed in the

00:18:14.939 --> 00:18:15.240
 morning

00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:17.019
 you'd be

00:18:17.019 --> 00:18:17.459
 too scared

00:18:17.459 --> 00:18:17.740
 to

00:18:17.740 --> 00:18:20.980
 what fool

00:18:20.980 --> 00:18:21.740
 knowing how

00:18:21.740 --> 00:18:22.519
 little we know

00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:23.039
 about this

00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:23.480
 world and the

00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:23.759
 way it

00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:24.139
 works

00:18:24.140 --> 00:18:24.920
 would want

00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:25.440
 to live

00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:25.840
 in a

00:18:25.840 --> 00:18:26.300
 universe

00:18:26.300 --> 00:18:26.840
 where your

00:18:26.840 --> 00:18:27.600
 future is

00:18:27.600 --> 00:18:28.220
 completely

00:18:28.220 --> 00:18:28.820
 determined

00:18:28.820 --> 00:18:29.880
 and fixed

00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:30.280
 by the

00:18:30.280 --> 00:18:30.980
 choices that

00:18:30.980 --> 00:18:31.400
 we make

00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:31.740
 day by

00:18:31.740 --> 00:18:32.060
 day

00:18:32.060 --> 00:18:33.820
 what fool

00:18:33.820 --> 00:18:34.180
 wants to

00:18:34.180 --> 00:18:34.640
 really live

00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:35.180
 like that

00:18:35.180 --> 00:18:37.540
 you'd be

00:18:37.540 --> 00:18:38.040
 too scared

00:18:38.040 --> 00:18:38.300
 to get

00:18:38.300 --> 00:18:38.540
 out of

00:18:38.540 --> 00:18:38.740
 bed

00:18:38.740 --> 00:18:42.980
 so even

00:18:42.980 --> 00:18:43.400
 though what

00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:43.600
 these

00:18:43.600 --> 00:18:44.200
 proverbs are

00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:44.640
 saying are

00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:45.580
 pretty hard

00:18:45.580 --> 00:18:45.880
 to hold

00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:46.200
 together

00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:46.840
 intellectually

00:18:46.840 --> 00:18:48.360
 they are

00:18:48.360 --> 00:18:49.240
 so practical

00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:50.920
 the bible

00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:51.460
 doesn't say

00:18:51.460 --> 00:18:51.780
 that your

00:18:51.780 --> 00:18:52.320
 choices have

00:18:52.320 --> 00:18:52.900
 no connection

00:18:52.900 --> 00:18:53.300
 to your

00:18:53.299 --> 00:18:53.759
 destiny

00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:55.980
 or that

00:18:55.980 --> 00:18:56.680
 our choices

00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:57.579
 determine

00:18:57.579 --> 00:18:58.419
 our ultimate

00:18:58.419 --> 00:18:59.039
 destiny

00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:00.940
 the bible

00:19:00.940 --> 00:19:01.460
 says that

00:19:01.460 --> 00:19:02.039
 god in his

00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:02.379
 sovereignty

00:19:02.379 --> 00:19:04.220
 partially relates

00:19:04.220 --> 00:19:04.740
 our choices

00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:05.119
 to our

00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:05.519
 destiny

00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:06.619
 but he is

00:19:06.619 --> 00:19:07.159
 the one who

00:19:07.159 --> 00:19:07.859
 fixes our

00:19:07.859 --> 00:19:08.319
 destiny

00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:10.519
 we have

00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:11.579
 every incentive

00:19:11.579 --> 00:19:12.359
 therefore

00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:13.980
 day by day

00:19:13.980 --> 00:19:14.599
 to live

00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:15.179
 wisely

00:19:15.179 --> 00:19:16.059
 to make

00:19:16.059 --> 00:19:16.519
 great

00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:17.059
 choices

00:19:17.059 --> 00:19:18.599
 but behind

00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:19.139
 it all

00:19:19.139 --> 00:19:19.879
 is a god

00:19:19.879 --> 00:19:20.179
 who is

00:19:20.179 --> 00:19:20.859
 working out

00:19:20.859 --> 00:19:21.379
 everything

00:19:21.379 --> 00:19:21.919
 for the

00:19:21.919 --> 00:19:22.419
 good of

00:19:22.419 --> 00:19:23.000
 those who

00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:23.819
 trust in

00:19:23.819 --> 00:19:24.179
 him

00:19:24.179 --> 00:19:27.259
 now

00:19:27.259 --> 00:19:28.539
 god's

00:19:28.539 --> 00:19:28.899
 guidance

00:19:28.899 --> 00:19:29.879
 is however

00:19:29.879 --> 00:19:30.679
 not always

00:19:30.679 --> 00:19:31.319
 obvious

00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:32.179
 notice

00:19:32.180 --> 00:19:33.799
 proverbs

00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:34.299
 16

00:19:34.299 --> 00:19:34.980
 4

00:19:34.980 --> 00:19:36.220
 the lord

00:19:36.220 --> 00:19:36.759
 works out

00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:37.279
 everything

00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:37.900
 to its

00:19:37.900 --> 00:19:38.380
 proper

00:19:38.380 --> 00:19:39.220
 end

00:19:39.220 --> 00:19:40.620
 even the

00:19:40.620 --> 00:19:40.840
 wicked

00:19:40.840 --> 00:19:41.160
 for the

00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:41.320
 day

00:19:41.320 --> 00:19:41.820
 disaster

00:19:41.820 --> 00:19:42.320
 now that

00:19:42.320 --> 00:19:42.840
 is saying

00:19:42.840 --> 00:19:43.220
 that not

00:19:43.220 --> 00:19:43.740
 only are

00:19:43.740 --> 00:19:44.160
 the little

00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:44.560
 things

00:19:44.560 --> 00:19:45.060
 part of

00:19:45.060 --> 00:19:45.320
 god's

00:19:45.320 --> 00:19:45.680
 plan

00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:46.600
 but so

00:19:46.600 --> 00:19:47.080
 are the

00:19:47.080 --> 00:19:47.700
 bad

00:19:47.700 --> 00:19:48.180
 things

00:19:48.180 --> 00:19:48.779
 part of

00:19:48.779 --> 00:19:49.060
 god's

00:19:49.060 --> 00:19:49.400
 plan

00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:50.380
 now if

00:19:50.380 --> 00:19:50.779
 we hadn't

00:19:50.779 --> 00:19:51.019
 just

00:19:51.019 --> 00:19:52.019
 gone through

00:19:52.019 --> 00:19:52.400
 what we

00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:52.560
 just

00:19:52.560 --> 00:19:52.820
 gone

00:19:52.820 --> 00:19:53.120
 through

00:19:53.120 --> 00:19:53.539
 we'd be

00:19:53.539 --> 00:19:53.740
 saying

00:19:53.740 --> 00:19:54.000
 well

00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:54.820
 you know

00:19:54.820 --> 00:19:55.759
 it appears

00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:56.180
 there that

00:19:56.180 --> 00:19:56.680
 god is the

00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:57.180
 author of

00:19:57.180 --> 00:19:57.640
 evil

00:19:57.640 --> 00:19:59.280
 but remember

00:19:59.280 --> 00:19:59.640
 what we've

00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:00.120
 just read

00:20:00.120 --> 00:20:00.940
 to humans

00:20:00.940 --> 00:20:01.540
 belong the

00:20:01.540 --> 00:20:01.960
 plans of

00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:02.320
 the heart

00:20:02.320 --> 00:20:03.120
 evil deeds

00:20:03.120 --> 00:20:03.660
 belong to

00:20:03.660 --> 00:20:04.140
 the evil

00:20:04.140 --> 00:20:04.500
 doer

00:20:04.500 --> 00:20:05.120
 they are

00:20:05.120 --> 00:20:05.860
 responsible

00:20:05.860 --> 00:20:06.740
 god doesn't

00:20:06.740 --> 00:20:07.480
 force anyone

00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:08.040
 to do evil

00:20:08.040 --> 00:20:08.400
 deeds

00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:08.780
 they are

00:20:08.780 --> 00:20:09.420
 your deeds

00:20:09.420 --> 00:20:09.720
 they are

00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:10.460
 my deeds

00:20:10.460 --> 00:20:11.560
 and yet

00:20:11.560 --> 00:20:12.040
 god is

00:20:12.040 --> 00:20:12.420
 going to

00:20:12.420 --> 00:20:13.160
 overrule

00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:14.280
 and weave

00:20:14.280 --> 00:20:15.080
 through that

00:20:15.080 --> 00:20:15.880
 the ultimate

00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:16.720
 good even

00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:17.200
 in the worst

00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:17.900
 of things

00:20:17.900 --> 00:20:19.700
 not necessarily

00:20:19.700 --> 00:20:20.220
 immediately

00:20:20.220 --> 00:20:20.800
 it says

00:20:20.800 --> 00:20:22.120
 in the

00:20:22.120 --> 00:20:22.600
 end

00:20:22.600 --> 00:20:24.520
 and a great

00:20:24.520 --> 00:20:25.220
 example of that

00:20:25.220 --> 00:20:25.980
 is joseph

00:20:25.980 --> 00:20:26.880
 in the old

00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:27.320
 testament

00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:27.759
 genesis

00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:28.559
 37

00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:29.159
 to 50

00:20:29.159 --> 00:20:29.960
 he's one

00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:30.359
 of many

00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:31.039
 sons to

00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:31.519
 his father

00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:32.099
 jacob

00:20:32.099 --> 00:20:33.259
 jacob

00:20:33.259 --> 00:20:33.859
 had been

00:20:33.859 --> 00:20:34.460
 poisoning

00:20:34.460 --> 00:20:35.220
 the relationship

00:20:35.220 --> 00:20:35.879
 between his

00:20:35.879 --> 00:20:36.299
 boys

00:20:36.299 --> 00:20:37.559
 by favouring

00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:38.039
 joseph

00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:38.460
 and as a

00:20:38.460 --> 00:20:39.039
 young lad

00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:39.919
 joseph

00:20:39.919 --> 00:20:41.099
 wasn't helping

00:20:41.099 --> 00:20:41.700
 things a whole

00:20:41.700 --> 00:20:42.500
 lot by kind

00:20:42.500 --> 00:20:42.839
 of rubbing

00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:43.480
 his brother's

00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:44.019
 nose in it

00:20:44.019 --> 00:20:44.700
 by showing off

00:20:44.700 --> 00:20:45.139
 he's the one

00:20:45.139 --> 00:20:45.559
 with the fancy

00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:46.139
 coloured coat

00:20:46.139 --> 00:20:47.799
 and one day

00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:48.319
 the brothers

00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:49.000
 got jack of it

00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:49.460
 they threw

00:20:49.460 --> 00:20:50.039
 him in a pit

00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:50.500
 and then they

00:20:50.500 --> 00:20:50.879
 sealed him

00:20:50.879 --> 00:20:51.240
 off to

00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:51.759
 slavery

00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:53.439
 and as a

00:20:53.439 --> 00:20:53.879
 slave in

00:20:53.879 --> 00:20:54.399
 egypt

00:20:54.399 --> 00:20:56.039
 joseph

00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:56.939
 went from

00:20:56.940 --> 00:20:57.519
 one pit

00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:57.960
 to another

00:20:57.960 --> 00:20:58.180
 pit

00:20:58.180 --> 00:20:58.580
 to another

00:20:58.580 --> 00:20:58.779
 pit

00:20:58.779 --> 00:20:59.180
 from one

00:20:59.180 --> 00:20:59.420
 dungeon

00:20:59.420 --> 00:20:59.840
 to another

00:20:59.840 --> 00:21:00.299
 dungeon

00:21:00.299 --> 00:21:00.860
 he was

00:21:00.860 --> 00:21:01.380
 accused of

00:21:01.380 --> 00:21:01.920
 wrongdoing

00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:03.160
 and it

00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:03.620
 seems that

00:21:03.620 --> 00:21:03.980
 things just

00:21:03.980 --> 00:21:04.240
 went from

00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:04.640
 bad to

00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:05.059
 worse

00:21:05.059 --> 00:21:05.600
 year after

00:21:05.600 --> 00:21:06.019
 year

00:21:06.019 --> 00:21:06.779
 he cries

00:21:06.779 --> 00:21:07.080
 out to

00:21:07.080 --> 00:21:07.279
 god

00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:07.880
 consistently

00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:08.360
 help me

00:21:08.360 --> 00:21:08.620
 god

00:21:08.620 --> 00:21:08.980
 help me

00:21:08.980 --> 00:21:09.160
 god

00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:09.500
 help me

00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:09.759
 god

00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:10.039
 and there's

00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:10.759
 no answer

00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:12.940
 only years

00:21:12.940 --> 00:21:13.339
 later

00:21:13.339 --> 00:21:13.740
 do we

00:21:13.740 --> 00:21:14.220
 see

00:21:14.220 --> 00:21:14.759
 that

00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:15.200
 because

00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:15.420
 of

00:21:15.420 --> 00:21:15.799
 each

00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:16.119
 one

00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:16.259
 of

00:21:16.259 --> 00:21:16.559
 those

00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:17.079
 things

00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:17.539
 that

00:21:17.539 --> 00:21:17.819
 god

00:21:17.819 --> 00:21:18.079
 had

00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:18.559
 shaped

00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:18.920
 him

00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:19.759
 and

00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:20.400
 elevated

00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:20.740
 him

00:21:20.740 --> 00:21:21.039
 to a

00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:21.200
 man

00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:21.339
 of

00:21:21.339 --> 00:21:21.859
 greatness

00:21:21.859 --> 00:21:23.839
 bit

00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:24.339
 by bit

00:21:24.339 --> 00:21:24.940
 by bit

00:21:24.940 --> 00:21:25.960
 and as a

00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:26.319
 result

00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:27.099
 his family

00:21:27.099 --> 00:21:27.879
 and in fact

00:21:27.879 --> 00:21:28.299
 the whole

00:21:28.299 --> 00:21:28.859
 part of

00:21:28.859 --> 00:21:29.400
 the world

00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:30.559
 are saved

00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:31.559
 from starvation

00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:32.779
 in the

00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:33.240
 end

00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:36.079
 and in

00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:36.559
 Joseph's

00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:36.960
 famous

00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:37.359
 summary

00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:37.740
 of all

00:21:37.740 --> 00:21:37.960
 these

00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:38.279
 events

00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:38.539
 of his

00:21:38.539 --> 00:21:38.980
 life

00:21:38.980 --> 00:21:39.940
 we have

00:21:39.940 --> 00:21:40.440
 an almost

00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:41.079
 exact

00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:41.579
 statement

00:21:41.579 --> 00:21:41.940
 of what

00:21:41.940 --> 00:21:42.259
 we have

00:21:42.259 --> 00:21:42.559
 here in

00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:42.839
 Proverbs

00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:43.240
 16

00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:43.680
 1

00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:44.539
 it's in

00:21:44.539 --> 00:21:44.859
 Genesis

00:21:44.859 --> 00:21:45.279
 50

00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:45.700
 20

00:21:45.700 --> 00:21:47.019
 you intended

00:21:47.019 --> 00:21:47.559
 to harm

00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:47.839
 me

00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:48.740
 but god

00:21:48.740 --> 00:21:49.299
 intended

00:21:49.299 --> 00:21:49.680
 it for

00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:50.120
 good

00:21:50.120 --> 00:21:51.160
 to accomplish

00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:51.720
 what is

00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:52.359
 now being

00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:52.740
 done

00:21:52.740 --> 00:21:53.799
 the saving

00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:54.839
 of many

00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:55.519
 lives

00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:58.279
 it's a

00:21:58.279 --> 00:21:58.680
 wonderful

00:21:58.680 --> 00:21:59.460
 forerunner

00:21:59.460 --> 00:22:00.599
 to an

00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:01.279
 even greater

00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:01.940
 example of

00:22:01.940 --> 00:22:02.319
 god at

00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:02.900
 work through

00:22:02.900 --> 00:22:04.620
 the paradoxical

00:22:04.620 --> 00:22:05.019
 and the

00:22:05.019 --> 00:22:05.880
 non-obvious

00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:07.320
 the ultimate

00:22:07.320 --> 00:22:07.759
 good the

00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:08.300
 redemption of

00:22:08.300 --> 00:22:09.000
 all humanity

00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:09.660
 was provided

00:22:09.660 --> 00:22:10.000
 by the

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:10.540
 Lord Jesus

00:22:10.540 --> 00:22:11.040
 but it was

00:22:11.040 --> 00:22:11.740
 brought about

00:22:11.740 --> 00:22:12.980
 through an

00:22:12.980 --> 00:22:13.600
 act of

00:22:13.600 --> 00:22:14.420
 horrifying

00:22:14.420 --> 00:22:14.920
 evil

00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:17.600
 in Acts

00:22:17.600 --> 00:22:17.980
 2

00:22:17.980 --> 00:22:18.840
 Peter's in

00:22:18.840 --> 00:22:19.180
 front of a

00:22:19.180 --> 00:22:19.700
 crowd and

00:22:19.700 --> 00:22:20.460
 he's explaining

00:22:20.460 --> 00:22:21.160
 the crucifixion

00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:21.600
 of Jesus

00:22:21.600 --> 00:22:22.720
 and he says

00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:23.540
 that though

00:22:23.540 --> 00:22:24.259
 Jesus was

00:22:24.259 --> 00:22:24.740
 put to

00:22:24.740 --> 00:22:25.420
 death by

00:22:25.420 --> 00:22:25.860
 wicked

00:22:25.860 --> 00:22:26.380
 people

00:22:26.380 --> 00:22:28.259
 this was

00:22:28.259 --> 00:22:28.680
 done

00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:29.320
 Acts

00:22:29.320 --> 00:22:29.540
 2

00:22:29.540 --> 00:22:29.980
 23

00:22:29.980 --> 00:22:31.480
 by God's

00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:32.160
 deliberate

00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:32.759
 plan

00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:34.259
 and foreknowledge

00:22:34.259 --> 00:22:38.240
 and this

00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:38.660
 idea of

00:22:38.660 --> 00:22:39.059
 this proverb

00:22:39.059 --> 00:22:39.799
 lies behind

00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:40.680
 Paul's

00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:41.400
 assurance in

00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:42.599
 Romans 8

00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:43.740
 28 that

00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:44.059
 in all

00:22:44.059 --> 00:22:44.579
 things God

00:22:44.579 --> 00:22:44.960
 works for

00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:45.700
 those who

00:22:45.700 --> 00:22:46.220
 love him

00:22:46.220 --> 00:22:46.779
 who have

00:22:46.779 --> 00:22:47.319
 been called

00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:48.039
 according to

00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:48.640
 his purpose

00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:51.400
 so never

00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:52.520
 ever

00:22:52.520 --> 00:22:53.740
 ever

00:22:53.740 --> 00:22:55.020
 ever

00:22:55.020 --> 00:22:55.960
 think that

00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:56.380
 God is

00:22:56.380 --> 00:22:57.080
 not working

00:22:57.080 --> 00:22:58.200
 and

00:22:58.200 --> 00:22:59.300
 at the

00:22:59.300 --> 00:23:00.020
 same time

00:23:00.020 --> 00:23:00.580
 never

00:23:00.580 --> 00:23:01.620
 ever

00:23:01.620 --> 00:23:02.600
 ever

00:23:02.600 --> 00:23:03.080
 think

00:23:03.080 --> 00:23:04.040
 that you'll

00:23:04.040 --> 00:23:04.660
 be able to

00:23:04.660 --> 00:23:05.120
 work it

00:23:05.120 --> 00:23:05.680
 out what

00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:06.080
 he's up

00:23:06.080 --> 00:23:06.520
 to in the

00:23:06.520 --> 00:23:06.900
 immediate

00:23:06.900 --> 00:23:09.820
 it's not

00:23:09.820 --> 00:23:10.340
 always clear

00:23:10.340 --> 00:23:10.860
 what God's

00:23:10.860 --> 00:23:11.360
 doing and

00:23:11.360 --> 00:23:11.920
 he's working

00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:13.020
 but he is

00:23:13.020 --> 00:23:13.620
 he is

00:23:13.620 --> 00:23:14.000
 working

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:17.160
 now I've

00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:17.440
 heard many

00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:17.900
 people say

00:23:17.900 --> 00:23:18.220
 that they

00:23:18.220 --> 00:23:18.859
 need God's

00:23:18.859 --> 00:23:19.299
 guidance

00:23:19.299 --> 00:23:20.500
 need to

00:23:20.500 --> 00:23:21.119
 know God's

00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:21.480
 will

00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:23.039
 according to

00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:23.500
 the Bible

00:23:23.500 --> 00:23:24.000
 God's

00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:24.400
 guidance

00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:25.579
 is something

00:23:25.579 --> 00:23:26.079
 that he

00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:26.680
 does

00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:28.700
 it's

00:23:28.700 --> 00:23:28.900
 something

00:23:28.900 --> 00:23:29.319
 that he

00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:29.859
 does

00:23:29.859 --> 00:23:31.299
 not just

00:23:31.299 --> 00:23:31.579
 something

00:23:31.579 --> 00:23:31.920
 that he

00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:32.359
 gives

00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:33.680
 that is

00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:34.599
 can I

00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:34.960
 say

00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:35.980
 right now

00:23:35.980 --> 00:23:36.380
 under the

00:23:36.380 --> 00:23:36.640
 sovereignty

00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:37.119
 of God

00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:37.500
 you are

00:23:37.500 --> 00:23:38.039
 standing

00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:38.420
 in it

00:23:38.420 --> 00:23:40.259
 you're

00:23:40.259 --> 00:23:40.720
 standing in

00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:40.859
 his

00:23:40.859 --> 00:23:41.319
 guidance

00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:43.200
 right now

00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:45.740
 you're in

00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:46.079
 the middle

00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:46.480
 of it

00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:47.179
 you're

00:23:47.179 --> 00:23:47.579
 standing in

00:23:47.579 --> 00:23:48.099
 a stream

00:23:48.099 --> 00:23:48.519
 where he's

00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:48.899
 in control

00:23:48.899 --> 00:23:49.259
 of all

00:23:49.259 --> 00:23:49.720
 things

00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:50.700
 you don't

00:23:50.700 --> 00:23:51.639
 most of

00:23:51.639 --> 00:23:51.799
 the time

00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:52.079
 we go

00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:52.460
 you know

00:23:52.460 --> 00:23:52.960
 God

00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:54.019
 which direction

00:23:54.019 --> 00:23:54.799
 which direction

00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:56.619
 he's moving

00:23:56.619 --> 00:23:56.980
 you

00:23:56.980 --> 00:23:58.379
 right now

00:23:58.379 --> 00:24:00.279
 you are

00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:00.539
 being

00:24:00.539 --> 00:24:01.279
 navigated

00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:03.039
 you just

00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:03.919
 probably

00:24:03.919 --> 00:24:04.279
 can't

00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:04.720
 see it

00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:07.679
 now of

00:24:07.679 --> 00:24:07.960
 course God

00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:08.399
 does give

00:24:08.399 --> 00:24:08.819
 guidance

00:24:08.819 --> 00:24:10.200
 so how

00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:10.460
 does he

00:24:10.460 --> 00:24:10.879
 do that

00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:12.240
 so it's

00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:12.480
 not just

00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:12.680
 something

00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:12.960
 that he

00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:13.300
 does

00:24:13.300 --> 00:24:13.580
 but it's

00:24:13.580 --> 00:24:13.720
 also

00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:14.000
 something

00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:14.340
 that he

00:24:14.340 --> 00:24:14.820
 gives

00:24:14.820 --> 00:24:16.560
 at this

00:24:16.560 --> 00:24:16.840
 point I

00:24:16.840 --> 00:24:17.080
 want to

00:24:17.080 --> 00:24:17.500
 turn our

00:24:17.500 --> 00:24:17.880
 heads

00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:21.140
 basically

00:24:21.140 --> 00:24:21.680
 turn on

00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.020
 our heads

00:24:22.020 --> 00:24:22.260
 the way

00:24:22.260 --> 00:24:22.760
 we normally

00:24:22.760 --> 00:24:23.260
 think about

00:24:23.260 --> 00:24:23.800
 guidance

00:24:23.800 --> 00:24:25.280
 and this

00:24:25.280 --> 00:24:25.540
 I think

00:24:25.540 --> 00:24:26.100
 is absolutely

00:24:26.100 --> 00:24:26.580
 essential

00:24:26.580 --> 00:24:27.000
 and it's

00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:27.460
 connected to

00:24:27.460 --> 00:24:27.700
 what we've

00:24:27.700 --> 00:24:28.220
 already preached

00:24:28.220 --> 00:24:28.520
 on and

00:24:28.520 --> 00:24:28.740
 what we

00:24:28.740 --> 00:24:29.140
 looked at

00:24:29.140 --> 00:24:31.600
 one of

00:24:31.600 --> 00:24:31.860
 the most

00:24:31.860 --> 00:24:32.320
 intriguing

00:24:32.320 --> 00:24:32.840
 proverbs

00:24:32.840 --> 00:24:33.320
 is

00:24:33.320 --> 00:24:33.620
 Proverbs

00:24:33.620 --> 00:24:34.140
 16

00:24:34.140 --> 00:24:34.580
 3

00:24:34.580 --> 00:24:36.120
 it says

00:24:36.120 --> 00:24:36.440
 this

00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:36.900
 commit to

00:24:36.900 --> 00:24:37.440
 the Lord

00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:38.460
 whatever you

00:24:38.460 --> 00:24:38.880
 do

00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:39.720
 and he

00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:40.300
 will establish

00:24:40.299 --> 00:24:41.180
 your plans

00:24:41.180 --> 00:24:41.799
 and we

00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:42.379
 read that

00:24:42.379 --> 00:24:42.619
 and we

00:24:42.619 --> 00:24:43.240
 go oh

00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:43.619
 that's

00:24:43.619 --> 00:24:44.240
 awesome

00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:45.419
 that's what

00:24:45.419 --> 00:24:45.779
 I'm looking

00:24:45.779 --> 00:24:46.200
 for

00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:46.559
 that's

00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:47.059
 exactly

00:24:47.059 --> 00:24:47.480
 what I

00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:47.740
 need

00:24:47.740 --> 00:24:48.240
 and this

00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:48.460
 is how

00:24:48.460 --> 00:24:48.779
 we normally

00:24:48.779 --> 00:24:49.240
 read it

00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:49.879
 it seems

00:24:49.879 --> 00:24:50.659
 so obvious

00:24:50.659 --> 00:24:51.039
 isn't it

00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:51.319
 what this

00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:51.700
 proverb is

00:24:51.700 --> 00:24:52.019
 saying

00:24:52.019 --> 00:24:52.599
 we automatically

00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:52.919
 think

00:24:52.919 --> 00:24:53.720
 it's you

00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:54.159
 know commit

00:24:54.159 --> 00:24:54.659
 your plans

00:24:54.659 --> 00:24:55.059
 to the Lord

00:24:55.059 --> 00:24:55.339
 and your

00:24:55.339 --> 00:24:55.919
 plans your

00:24:55.919 --> 00:24:56.460
 deeds will

00:24:56.460 --> 00:24:57.059
 succeed

00:24:57.059 --> 00:24:59.220
 commit your

00:24:59.220 --> 00:24:59.799
 plans to the

00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:00.220
 Lord and

00:25:00.220 --> 00:25:00.799
 your plans

00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:01.079
 and your

00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:01.559
 deeds will

00:25:01.559 --> 00:25:02.039
 succeed

00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:04.319
 and we

00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:05.079
 go wow

00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:05.700
 that's

00:25:05.700 --> 00:25:06.500
 awesome

00:25:06.500 --> 00:25:07.539
 every decision

00:25:07.539 --> 00:25:08.339
 I need

00:25:08.339 --> 00:25:08.700
 to make

00:25:08.700 --> 00:25:09.159
 in life

00:25:09.159 --> 00:25:09.480
 I just

00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:09.659
 need

00:25:09.659 --> 00:25:11.000
 Lord bless

00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:11.259
 my

00:25:11.259 --> 00:25:11.879
 plans

00:25:11.879 --> 00:25:15.700
 and then

00:25:15.700 --> 00:25:16.039
 they will

00:25:16.039 --> 00:25:16.639
 succeed

00:25:16.639 --> 00:25:19.220
 but that's

00:25:19.220 --> 00:25:19.680
 not what

00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:20.119
 that proverb

00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:20.720
 is saying

00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:21.200
 is it

00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:24.220
 it's

00:25:24.220 --> 00:25:24.420
 actually

00:25:24.420 --> 00:25:24.899
 saying the

00:25:24.899 --> 00:25:25.240
 exact

00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:25.700
 opposite

00:25:25.700 --> 00:25:28.279
 it's

00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:28.879
 saying that

00:25:28.879 --> 00:25:29.240
 if you

00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:30.099
 commit your

00:25:30.099 --> 00:25:31.200
 deeds to

00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:31.920
 the Lord

00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:34.279
 then

00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:34.879
 you'll

00:25:34.879 --> 00:25:35.500
 become more

00:25:35.500 --> 00:25:35.720
 and more

00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:36.180
 a person

00:25:36.180 --> 00:25:36.620
 who makes

00:25:36.620 --> 00:25:37.100
 the right

00:25:37.100 --> 00:25:37.519
 plans

00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:37.779
 and the

00:25:37.779 --> 00:25:38.000
 right

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:38.600
 choices

00:25:38.600 --> 00:25:40.539
 commit your

00:25:40.539 --> 00:25:41.400
 deeds to

00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:41.660
 the Lord

00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:41.960
 not your

00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:42.480
 plans

00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:43.140
 your

00:25:43.140 --> 00:25:43.940
 deeds

00:25:43.940 --> 00:25:44.340
 to the

00:25:44.340 --> 00:25:44.700
 Lord

00:25:44.700 --> 00:25:47.360
 it's

00:25:47.360 --> 00:25:47.799
 in the

00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:48.440
 you know

00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:48.700
 in the

00:25:48.700 --> 00:25:49.220
 context of

00:25:49.220 --> 00:25:49.820
 making decisions

00:25:49.820 --> 00:25:50.220
 for us

00:25:50.220 --> 00:25:50.960
 as a church

00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:53.140
 I wrote

00:25:53.140 --> 00:25:53.620
 this in our

00:25:53.620 --> 00:25:54.080
 bulletin

00:25:54.080 --> 00:25:55.320
 this week

00:25:55.320 --> 00:25:55.940
 if you haven't

00:25:55.940 --> 00:25:56.740
 already written

00:25:56.740 --> 00:25:56.920
 it

00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:57.420
 read it

00:25:57.420 --> 00:25:58.560
 I'm convinced

00:25:58.560 --> 00:25:59.440
 that Romans

00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:00.019
 12

00:26:00.019 --> 00:26:00.820
 because I'm

00:26:00.820 --> 00:26:01.279
 asking the

00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:01.759
 question in

00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:02.000
 terms of

00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:02.500
 what do we

00:26:02.500 --> 00:26:02.880
 do as a

00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:03.019
 church

00:26:03.019 --> 00:26:03.240
 do we go

00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:03.500
 this way

00:26:03.500 --> 00:26:03.920
 this way

00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:04.240
 go this

00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:04.440
 way

00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:05.460
 and I'm

00:26:05.460 --> 00:26:05.740
 convinced

00:26:05.740 --> 00:26:06.220
 that Romans

00:26:06.220 --> 00:26:06.539
 12

00:26:06.539 --> 00:26:07.380
 is absolutely

00:26:07.380 --> 00:26:07.920
 essential for

00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:08.279
 us

00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:09.160
 do not

00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:09.840
 conform any

00:26:09.840 --> 00:26:10.259
 longer to the

00:26:10.259 --> 00:26:10.600
 pattern of

00:26:10.600 --> 00:26:10.940
 this world

00:26:10.940 --> 00:26:11.220
 but be

00:26:11.220 --> 00:26:11.740
 transformed in

00:26:11.740 --> 00:26:12.160
 the renewing of

00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:12.480
 your mind

00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:12.819
 then you'll be

00:26:12.819 --> 00:26:13.440
 able to test

00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:13.900
 and approve

00:26:13.900 --> 00:26:14.640
 what God's

00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:15.059
 will is

00:26:15.059 --> 00:26:15.579
 his good

00:26:15.579 --> 00:26:16.100
 pleasing and

00:26:16.100 --> 00:26:16.640
 perfect will

00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:17.140
 and then if

00:26:17.140 --> 00:26:17.720
 you go down

00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:19.120
 into the

00:26:19.120 --> 00:26:19.579
 rest of

00:26:19.579 --> 00:26:20.559
 chapter 12

00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:21.420
 it tells you

00:26:21.420 --> 00:26:21.980
 what it looks

00:26:21.980 --> 00:26:22.380
 like

00:26:22.380 --> 00:26:23.500
 and I'm

00:26:23.500 --> 00:26:23.900
 convinced

00:26:23.900 --> 00:26:24.200
 that what

00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:24.860
 Romans 12

00:26:24.860 --> 00:26:25.559
 says is

00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:25.940
 staff

00:26:25.940 --> 00:26:26.259
 parish

00:26:26.259 --> 00:26:26.559
 council

00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:26.920
 leadership

00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:27.240
 members

00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:28.680
 don't

00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:29.059
 think the

00:26:29.059 --> 00:26:29.380
 way the

00:26:29.380 --> 00:26:30.079
 world thinks

00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:30.700
 be

00:26:30.700 --> 00:26:31.500
 transformed

00:26:31.500 --> 00:26:32.259
 pursue

00:26:32.259 --> 00:26:33.059
 renew mind

00:26:33.059 --> 00:26:33.500
 in verse

00:26:33.500 --> 00:26:34.500
 2 of

00:26:34.500 --> 00:26:35.180
 Romans 12

00:26:35.180 --> 00:26:35.960
 have humble

00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:36.519
 views of

00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:36.860
 yourself

00:26:36.860 --> 00:26:37.600
 verse 3

00:26:37.600 --> 00:26:38.799
 look always

00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:39.259
 to Christ

00:26:39.259 --> 00:26:39.700
 in faith

00:26:39.700 --> 00:26:40.100
 in verses

00:26:40.100 --> 00:26:41.000
 3 and 6

00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:41.580
 love

00:26:41.580 --> 00:26:42.220
 authentically

00:26:42.220 --> 00:26:42.980
 abhor evil

00:26:42.980 --> 00:26:43.519
 cleave to

00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:43.840
 the good

00:26:43.840 --> 00:26:44.240
 in verse

00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:44.700
 9

00:26:44.700 --> 00:26:45.660
 rejoice in

00:26:45.660 --> 00:26:45.900
 hope

00:26:45.900 --> 00:26:46.380
 be constant

00:26:46.380 --> 00:26:46.779
 in prayer

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:47.160
 in verse

00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:47.660
 12

00:26:47.660 --> 00:26:48.680
 Paul's

00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:49.120
 assumption

00:26:49.120 --> 00:26:49.700
 is that

00:26:49.700 --> 00:26:50.279
 that is

00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:51.100
 the way

00:26:51.100 --> 00:26:51.759
 that you

00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:52.500
 discern

00:26:52.500 --> 00:26:53.279
 the will

00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:53.840
 of God

00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:55.659
 that is

00:26:55.659 --> 00:26:55.919
 what is

00:26:55.919 --> 00:26:56.259
 good

00:26:56.259 --> 00:26:56.679
 what is

00:26:56.679 --> 00:26:57.240
 acceptable

00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:57.879
 what is

00:26:57.879 --> 00:26:58.399
 perfect

00:26:58.399 --> 00:26:58.939
 and I

00:26:58.939 --> 00:26:59.179
 would add

00:26:59.179 --> 00:26:59.720
 what is

00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:00.599
 wise

00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:02.779
 if you

00:27:02.779 --> 00:27:03.220
 commit

00:27:03.220 --> 00:27:03.539
 your

00:27:03.539 --> 00:27:04.399
 deeds

00:27:04.399 --> 00:27:04.779
 to the

00:27:04.779 --> 00:27:05.259
 Lord

00:27:05.259 --> 00:27:06.480
 then you

00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:07.079
 will become

00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:07.879
 a person

00:27:07.879 --> 00:27:08.759
 who more

00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:09.059
 and more

00:27:09.059 --> 00:27:09.559
 discerns

00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:09.799
 what the

00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:10.259
 will of

00:27:10.259 --> 00:27:10.539
 God

00:27:10.539 --> 00:27:11.220
 is

00:27:11.220 --> 00:27:14.199
 that is

00:27:14.199 --> 00:27:14.659
 commit

00:27:14.659 --> 00:27:15.879
 your life

00:27:15.879 --> 00:27:16.819
 how you

00:27:16.819 --> 00:27:17.599
 live to

00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:18.099
 the Lord

00:27:18.099 --> 00:27:20.019
 and you

00:27:20.019 --> 00:27:20.639
 become wiser

00:27:20.639 --> 00:27:21.220
 in the plans

00:27:21.220 --> 00:27:21.659
 and decisions

00:27:21.660 --> 00:27:21.940
 that you

00:27:21.940 --> 00:27:22.240
 make

00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:23.259
 now the

00:27:23.259 --> 00:27:23.440
 word

00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:23.900
 commit

00:27:23.900 --> 00:27:24.779
 in verse

00:27:24.779 --> 00:27:25.380
 16

00:27:25.380 --> 00:27:26.360
 is a

00:27:26.360 --> 00:27:26.720
 word

00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:27.100
 that

00:27:27.100 --> 00:27:27.800
 means

00:27:27.800 --> 00:27:28.420
 to put

00:27:28.420 --> 00:27:29.040
 all your

00:27:29.040 --> 00:27:29.460
 weight

00:27:29.460 --> 00:27:29.980
 on

00:27:29.980 --> 00:27:33.000
 and it's

00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:33.460
 the same

00:27:33.460 --> 00:27:34.040
 idea that

00:27:34.040 --> 00:27:34.480
 we looked

00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:35.320
 at in

00:27:35.320 --> 00:27:35.880
 Proverbs

00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:36.220
 3

00:27:36.220 --> 00:27:37.100
 last week

00:27:37.100 --> 00:27:38.860
 unconditional

00:27:38.860 --> 00:27:39.779
 trust

00:27:39.779 --> 00:27:41.640
 with all

00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:42.240
 things

00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:43.759
 that happen

00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:44.060
 in your

00:27:44.060 --> 00:27:44.440
 life

00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:46.540
 unconditionally

00:27:46.540 --> 00:27:47.500
 trust God

00:27:47.500 --> 00:27:48.120
 and you'll

00:27:48.120 --> 00:27:48.640
 become a

00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:49.240
 person who

00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:50.140
 makes plans

00:27:50.140 --> 00:27:51.220
 in accordance

00:27:51.220 --> 00:27:51.480
 with

00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:52.039
 reality

00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:53.000
 if God

00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:53.480
 says in

00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:53.920
 his word

00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:54.420
 don't do

00:27:54.420 --> 00:27:54.700
 this

00:27:54.700 --> 00:27:55.220
 go that

00:27:55.220 --> 00:27:55.539
 way

00:27:55.539 --> 00:27:56.140
 do this

00:27:56.140 --> 00:27:56.360
 you

00:27:56.360 --> 00:27:57.319
 unconditionally

00:27:57.319 --> 00:27:58.360
 put your

00:27:58.360 --> 00:27:59.299
 weight on

00:27:59.299 --> 00:28:00.079
 him and

00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:00.559
 what he

00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:01.220
 has revealed

00:28:01.220 --> 00:28:01.740
 what he

00:28:01.740 --> 00:28:02.339
 says

00:28:02.339 --> 00:28:03.960
 and you

00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:04.380
 will in

00:28:04.380 --> 00:28:05.019
 over life

00:28:05.019 --> 00:28:05.599
 grow and

00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:06.000
 grow and

00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:06.480
 grow as a

00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:06.920
 person in

00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:07.240
 wisdom

00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:10.220
 to ask

00:28:10.220 --> 00:28:10.539
 for the

00:28:10.539 --> 00:28:11.120
 guidance of

00:28:11.120 --> 00:28:11.480
 God

00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:12.500
 requires

00:28:12.500 --> 00:28:13.620
 abandonment

00:28:13.620 --> 00:28:14.700
 it's

00:28:14.700 --> 00:28:15.120
 costly

00:28:15.120 --> 00:28:17.240
 so this

00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:17.880
 proverb says

00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:18.279
 here we

00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:19.140
 don't say

00:28:19.140 --> 00:28:21.400
 if I

00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:22.520
 trust you

00:28:22.520 --> 00:28:23.840
 you're going

00:28:23.840 --> 00:28:24.040
 to give

00:28:24.040 --> 00:28:24.280
 me what

00:28:24.280 --> 00:28:24.620
 I want

00:28:24.620 --> 00:28:26.320
 if I

00:28:26.320 --> 00:28:26.660
 trust you

00:28:26.660 --> 00:28:26.780
 you're going

00:28:26.780 --> 00:28:26.900
 to give

00:28:26.900 --> 00:28:27.140
 me what

00:28:27.140 --> 00:28:27.420
 I want

00:28:27.420 --> 00:28:28.340
 that's the

00:28:28.340 --> 00:28:28.900
 way we

00:28:28.900 --> 00:28:29.500
 think about

00:28:29.500 --> 00:28:30.400
 Proverbs

00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:31.080
 16 3

00:28:31.080 --> 00:28:31.460
 at first

00:28:31.460 --> 00:28:31.900
 glance

00:28:31.900 --> 00:28:32.660
 instead

00:28:32.660 --> 00:28:33.380
 it says

00:28:33.380 --> 00:28:33.980
 I trust

00:28:33.980 --> 00:28:34.300
 you

00:28:34.300 --> 00:28:36.120
 I trust

00:28:36.120 --> 00:28:36.320
 you

00:28:36.320 --> 00:28:36.900
 I trust

00:28:36.900 --> 00:28:37.240
 you and

00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:37.540
 therefore

00:28:37.540 --> 00:28:38.200
 you give

00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:39.080
 me or

00:28:39.080 --> 00:28:39.960
 you withhold

00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:40.600
 from me

00:28:40.600 --> 00:28:41.460
 whatever

00:28:41.460 --> 00:28:43.300
 you choose

00:28:43.299 --> 00:28:46.000
 God's

00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:46.379
 guidance

00:28:46.379 --> 00:28:47.379
 is costly

00:28:47.379 --> 00:28:47.980
 we come

00:28:47.980 --> 00:28:48.419
 to God

00:28:48.419 --> 00:28:49.099
 not asking

00:28:49.099 --> 00:28:49.539
 for his

00:28:49.539 --> 00:28:50.119
 advice

00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:51.720
 on the

00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:52.139
 decision

00:28:52.139 --> 00:28:53.359
 we come

00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:53.599
 to him

00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:54.059
 asking

00:28:54.059 --> 00:28:54.659
 for his

00:28:54.659 --> 00:28:55.139
 will

00:28:55.139 --> 00:28:56.980
 and

00:28:56.980 --> 00:28:58.139
 seeking

00:28:58.139 --> 00:28:58.480
 his

00:28:58.480 --> 00:28:58.839
 will

00:28:58.839 --> 00:28:59.919
 and his

00:28:59.919 --> 00:29:00.240
 will

00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:00.759
 is not

00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:01.220
 optional

00:29:01.220 --> 00:29:01.859
 it's not

00:29:01.859 --> 00:29:02.859
 advice

00:29:02.859 --> 00:29:03.180
 where we

00:29:03.180 --> 00:29:03.519
 take it

00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:03.960
 or leave

00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:04.200
 it

00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:05.440
 it's

00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:05.700
 his

00:29:05.700 --> 00:29:06.139
 will

00:29:06.139 --> 00:29:07.500
 remember

00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:07.799
 what I

00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:08.039
 said

00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:08.539
 two weeks

00:29:08.539 --> 00:29:08.919
 ago

00:29:08.919 --> 00:29:10.259
 two

00:29:10.259 --> 00:29:10.779
 questions

00:29:10.779 --> 00:29:11.079
 to be

00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:11.559
 wise

00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:12.339
 I will

00:29:12.339 --> 00:29:12.700
 obey

00:29:12.700 --> 00:29:13.279
 anything

00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:13.779
 you tell

00:29:13.779 --> 00:29:13.960
 me

00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:14.159
 whether

00:29:14.159 --> 00:29:14.579
 I agree

00:29:14.579 --> 00:29:14.859
 with it

00:29:14.859 --> 00:29:15.319
 or not

00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:16.019
 and I

00:29:16.019 --> 00:29:16.139
 will

00:29:16.139 --> 00:29:16.559
 accept

00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:17.159
 anything

00:29:17.159 --> 00:29:17.460
 you

00:29:17.460 --> 00:29:17.799
 send

00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:18.460
 me

00:29:18.460 --> 00:29:19.119
 whether

00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:19.419
 I

00:29:19.419 --> 00:29:20.039
 understand

00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:20.359
 it

00:29:20.359 --> 00:29:20.960
 or not

00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:25.179
 the more

00:29:25.179 --> 00:29:25.899
 we saturate

00:29:25.899 --> 00:29:26.539
 ourselves

00:29:26.539 --> 00:29:27.220
 in what God

00:29:27.220 --> 00:29:27.759
 has revealed

00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:28.279
 about himself

00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:28.819
 his plans

00:29:28.819 --> 00:29:29.539
 his ways

00:29:29.539 --> 00:29:30.319
 the way

00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:30.700
 the world

00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:31.179
 works

00:29:31.179 --> 00:29:31.679
 that is

00:29:31.679 --> 00:29:33.059
 saturate

00:29:33.059 --> 00:29:33.339
 ourselves

00:29:33.339 --> 00:29:33.659
 in his

00:29:33.659 --> 00:29:34.159
 word

00:29:34.159 --> 00:29:35.079
 and commit

00:29:35.079 --> 00:29:35.399
 ourselves

00:29:35.399 --> 00:29:36.119
 to obeying

00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:36.500
 him

00:29:36.500 --> 00:29:37.480
 unconditionally

00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:39.159
 the wiser

00:29:39.159 --> 00:29:39.720
 we become

00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:40.279
 in the choices

00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:40.940
 that we make

00:29:40.940 --> 00:29:45.380
 now who

00:29:45.380 --> 00:29:46.160
 does that

00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:46.880
 totally

00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:47.779
 the unconditional

00:29:47.779 --> 00:29:48.900
 total trust

00:29:48.900 --> 00:29:50.740
 certainly not

00:29:50.740 --> 00:29:51.080
 the bloke

00:29:51.080 --> 00:29:51.440
 behind the

00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:51.799
 microphone

00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:52.340
 this morning

00:29:52.340 --> 00:29:55.779
 only Jesus

00:29:55.779 --> 00:29:57.740
 only Jesus

00:29:57.740 --> 00:29:59.120
 in Mark

00:29:59.120 --> 00:29:59.620
 14

00:29:59.620 --> 00:30:00.200
 Jesus is in

00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:00.480
 the garden

00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:01.000
 of Gethsemane

00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:01.360
 and he's

00:30:01.360 --> 00:30:01.860
 wrestling

00:30:01.860 --> 00:30:02.779
 wrestling

00:30:02.779 --> 00:30:03.360
 with God's

00:30:03.360 --> 00:30:03.900
 plan for

00:30:03.900 --> 00:30:04.140
 him to

00:30:04.140 --> 00:30:04.380
 go to

00:30:04.380 --> 00:30:04.960
 the cross

00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:06.900
 and he

00:30:06.900 --> 00:30:07.259
 has no

00:30:07.259 --> 00:30:07.680
 peace

00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:08.200
 about it

00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:08.480
 I mean

00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:09.120
 so many

00:30:09.120 --> 00:30:09.680
 people come

00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:09.880
 to me

00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:10.100
 and say

00:30:10.100 --> 00:30:10.259
 I'm

00:30:10.259 --> 00:30:10.440
 trying to

00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:10.640
 make a

00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:10.900
 decision

00:30:10.900 --> 00:30:11.200
 I have

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:11.360
 peace

00:30:11.360 --> 00:30:11.660
 about this

00:30:11.660 --> 00:30:11.780
 one

00:30:11.780 --> 00:30:12.000
 but not

00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:12.380
 that one

00:30:12.380 --> 00:30:12.920
 as if

00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:13.220
 somehow

00:30:13.220 --> 00:30:13.820
 my peace

00:30:13.820 --> 00:30:14.080
 in my

00:30:14.080 --> 00:30:14.300
 heart

00:30:14.300 --> 00:30:14.620
 is the

00:30:14.620 --> 00:30:14.920
 settled

00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:16.259
 conclusion

00:30:16.259 --> 00:30:17.240
 Jesus

00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:17.580
 didn't

00:30:17.580 --> 00:30:17.759
 have

00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:18.100
 peace

00:30:18.100 --> 00:30:18.320
 in the

00:30:18.320 --> 00:30:18.500
 garden

00:30:18.500 --> 00:30:19.160
 of Gethsemane

00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:21.840
 he's

00:30:21.840 --> 00:30:22.160
 wrestling

00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:22.560
 with it

00:30:22.560 --> 00:30:23.000
 but in

00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:23.259
 verse

00:30:23.259 --> 00:30:24.000
 636

00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:25.220
 he says

00:30:25.220 --> 00:30:25.700
 Abba

00:30:25.700 --> 00:30:26.100
 father

00:30:26.100 --> 00:30:27.220
 everything

00:30:27.220 --> 00:30:27.860
 is possible

00:30:27.860 --> 00:30:28.259
 for you

00:30:28.259 --> 00:30:28.960
 take this

00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:29.160
 cup

00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:30.060
 from me

00:30:30.060 --> 00:30:31.259
 yet not

00:30:31.259 --> 00:30:32.000
 what I

00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:32.420
 will

00:30:32.420 --> 00:30:33.759
 but what

00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:34.300
 you

00:30:34.300 --> 00:30:34.680
 will

00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:35.780
 and he

00:30:35.780 --> 00:30:36.320
 submits

00:30:36.320 --> 00:30:36.680
 himself

00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:37.040
 to the

00:30:37.040 --> 00:30:37.480
 father's

00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:37.740
 will

00:30:37.740 --> 00:30:38.320
 he goes

00:30:38.320 --> 00:30:38.580
 to the

00:30:38.580 --> 00:30:38.820
 cross

00:30:38.820 --> 00:30:39.160
 for the

00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:39.380
 sins

00:30:39.380 --> 00:30:39.500
 of

00:30:39.500 --> 00:30:39.980
 humanity

00:30:39.980 --> 00:30:41.920
 and as

00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:42.620
 a result

00:30:42.620 --> 00:30:43.140
 of that

00:30:43.140 --> 00:30:44.019
 obedience

00:30:44.019 --> 00:30:45.799
 in the

00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:46.240
 end

00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:47.039
 he is

00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:47.400
 given the

00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:47.640
 name

00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:47.880
 that is

00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:48.079
 above

00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:48.339
 every

00:30:48.339 --> 00:30:48.680
 name

00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:52.480
 and

00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:53.319
 he has

00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:53.799
 opened the

00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:54.160

 me

00:30:55.360 --> 00:30:56.579
 to be

00:30:56.579 --> 00:30:57.380
 navigated

00:30:57.380 --> 00:30:57.819

00:30:57.819 --> 00:30:58.140
 God

00:30:58.140 --> 00:31:01.339
 the one

00:31:01.339 --> 00:31:01.700
 who

00:31:01.700 --> 00:31:03.500

00:31:03.500 --> 00:31:03.799

00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:04.380

00:31:04.380 --> 00:31:04.839
 works

00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:05.599
 the way

00:31:05.599 --> 00:31:05.900
 the world

00:31:05.900 --> 00:31:06.279
 works

00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:07.279
 how

00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:07.559
 things

00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:08.000
 actually

00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:08.460

00:31:09.559 --> 00:31:09.720
 the

 navigator

00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:10.599
 he is

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:11.079
 God's

00:31:13.639 --> 00:31:13.859
 God

00:31:13.859 --> 00:31:14.139

00:32:21.620 --> 00:32:21.860
 something

00:32:21.860 --> 00:32:22.100

00:32:22.100 --> 00:32:22.420
 God

00:32:22.420 --> 00:32:23.700
 does

00:32:23.700 --> 00:32:24.680
 through

00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:24.860
 his

00:32:24.860 --> 00:32:25.160
 sovereignty

00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:25.360

00:32:25.360 --> 00:32:25.460
 it's

00:32:25.460 --> 00:32:25.640
 something

00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:25.799
 that

00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:25.920
 he

00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:26.500
 gives

00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:53.379
 godliness

00:33:53.379 --> 00:33:53.619

00:33:54.500 --> 00:33:54.779
 called

00:33:54.779 --> 00:33:54.940
 us

00:33:54.940 --> 00:33:55.119
 by

00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:07.200
 and

00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:07.539
 making

00:34:07.539 --> 00:34:08.000
 choices

00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:08.559
 is

00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:08.719
 a

00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:09.420
 journey

00:34:09.420 --> 00:34:11.420

00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:11.840

00:34:12.139 --> 00:34:12.259
 of

00:34:12.259 --> 00:34:12.440
 why

00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:12.699
 God

00:34:12.699 --> 00:34:13.019
 doesn't

00:34:13.019 --> 00:34:13.279
 fix

00:34:13.279 --> 00:34:13.659
 everything

 God

00:35:53.500 --> 00:35:55.000
 is simply

00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:55.559
 planning

00:35:55.559 --> 00:35:56.180
 something

00:35:56.180 --> 00:35:56.820
 else

00:35:56.820 --> 00:36:00.260
 something

00:36:00.260 --> 00:36:00.680
 that I

00:36:00.680 --> 00:36:01.019
 can't

00:36:01.019 --> 00:36:01.300
 see

00:36:01.300 --> 00:36:02.800
 that's

 all

00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:03.059
 he's

00:36:03.059 --> 00:36:03.360
 doing

00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:04.980
 and by

00:36:04.980 --> 00:36:05.840
 his grace

00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:06.500
 he will

00:36:06.500 --> 00:36:07.140
 navigate

00:36:07.140 --> 00:36:07.620
 my

00:36:07.620 --> 00:36:08.059
 total

00:36:08.059 --> 00:36:08.500
 failure

00:36:08.500 --> 00:36:08.700

00:36:09.099 --> 00:36:10.579
 in such

00:36:10.579 --> 00:36:11.059
 a way

00:36:11.059 --> 00:36:12.039
 that good

00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:12.500
 will come

00:36:12.500 --> 00:36:12.860
 out of

00:36:12.860 --> 00:36:13.039
 it

00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:13.680
 in the

00:36:13.680 --> 00:36:14.000
 end

00:36:18.079 --> 00:36:18.599

 me

00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:19.400
 is to

00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:19.740
 be like

 will

00:36:21.559 --> 00:36:21.840
 allow

00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:22.160
 things

00:36:22.160 --> 00:36:22.300
 to
