Be very careful then how you live, not as unwise but as wise,
making the most of every opportunity because the days are evil.
Therefore, do not be foolish but understand what the Lord's will is.
Do not get drunk on wine which leads to debauchery.
Instead, be filled with the Spirit.
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.
Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord.
Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything.
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
It's good together again tonight.
We've been working through the book of Ephesians
and I'm going to suggest that I'm going to try to set the bar really, really high.
Not in my preaching but in terms of what the Word hopefully will achieve tonight.
If you're feeling tired and weak and besieged and spiritually dry,
perhaps what you need in your life, in your spiritual life, is to be Spirit-filled.
And that's what we're going to be talking about tonight.
I'm hoping that we'll walk away tonight having a clear understanding
of what it means to be Spirit-filled.
And as a result, walk away from tonight being Spirit-filled.
We have seen in the book of Ephesians the work of the Father
who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing.
We have considered the work of the Son.
It is in Him that we receive the blessing from the Father.
And tonight, or this afternoon, we'll consider the work of the Spirit
to complete the picture of the work of God for us.
But firstly, one of the great things in spending the weekend on a book
is that we can actually see the coherency, the argument, the flow of the book.
But just so that if you can indulge me,
I'll repeat a little bit of the flow of the book.
Paul often writes from the indicative to the imperative,
if you know what I mean.
Indiegative means what happens, what has happened.
Imperative is what you must do.
It's sort of like command.
And often in the way Paul writes,
the first half of his writing would be in the indicative,
what God has done, He's blessed us,
He's reconciled us in Jesus,
He's caused us to be born again,
and He's made us into a new humanity,
the indicative.
Once He's established the indicative,
He moves on to the imperative,
the implications of the indicative.
Since God has done all this,
what does it mean for us?
This is where the rubber hits the road.
And the imperative starts for us in the book of Ephesians,
Ephesians 4.1,
which we looked at this morning.
But it might be worthwhile to cast our eyes to there again.
If you have your Bibles in front of you,
it will be good to open them to Ephesians 4.1.
So having seen what God has done,
He then turns to,
well, what does it mean for us,
to those of us who have been born again,
reconciled to God?
Chapter 4, verse 1.
As a prisoner for the Lord,
then, I urge you to live a life
worthy of the calling you have received.
The indicative is,
you have been called,
you've been made new,
so live like it.
The reality is,
you've been changed as people live.
So start,
chapter 4, verse 1,
is almost a heading for the rest of the book.
Chapter 4 to 6.
We are to walk in newness of life.
We are to walk in holiness.
That is, in a way that pleases God,
and in a way that is dramatically opposed
to the life that we used to live,
and to those around us.
4.17.
Well, what does that life of holiness look like?
Chapter 5 is the beginning of it.
Chapter 5, verse 1 and 2.
Be imitators of God, therefore,
as dearly beloved children.
So we are to live like God.
We're to imitate God.
Well, what does that mean?
Are we to be tall like God?
To be strong like God?
No.
In verse 2, he explains.
To imitate God,
to live a new life in Christ,
means to live a life of love.
God is love.
So his children are, therefore,
to love.
Just as Christ loved us
and gave himself for us
as a fragrant offering and sacrifice.
So this is what...
And the rest of the chapter is an exposition,
is an explanation of what a life of love look like.
There will not be any sexual immorality.
Sexual immorality is profoundly unloving.
The children of God are to be like God.
And verse 8,
it means that we walk in the light,
not in darkness.
And verse 15 to 21,
which is our passage,
continues in that instruction,
in the imperative.
And he used the word living or walking.
And let's have a look at that again.
In light of what God has done,
verse 15 of chapter 5,
we are to be careful
how we are to live,
not as unwise,
but as wise.
The children of God
live lives of love
and in the light,
but we are also
to live wisely.
Why is that?
And he
gives us the motivation.
If you look a little bit early
in the passage that we looked at today,
starting in verse 8,
this is what he says.
For once you were...
Sorry.
For you were once darkness,
but now you are light in the Lord.
Live as children of light.
For the fruit of light consists
in all goodness,
righteousness,
and truth.
And find out what pleases the Lord.
Have nothing to do with
the fruitless deeds of darkness,
but rather expose them.
For it is shameful
even to mention
what the disobedient do
in secret.
But everything exposed
by the light becomes visible.
For it is light
that makes everything visible.
Et cetera, et cetera.
There is an exposure
of the darkness.
We are to be part
of the process
of exposing that darkness.
A little bit earlier on
in chapter 5,
particularly in verses 5 and 6,
it talks about
the judgment of God.
In fact,
that provides the motivation
for the wise living.
If the judgment of God
is about to come,
if the axe is about to fall,
we are to live wisely.
Okay?
The insanity,
sorry,
the definition of insanity
supposedly,
according to Einstein,
is to do the same thing
over and over again
and to expect
different results.
You know,
that's insane.
That is,
that is what a fool
would do.
The wise person learns,
adopt,
adept.
You see,
you make a mistake
and you change your behavior
so that a different outcome
would ensue.
Fools,
on the other hand,
they don't learn.
That's what,
by definition,
a foolish person.
And the wise
understands the future.
The wise understands
that the judgment of God
is about to come
on the unrighteousness
and the wickedness
on our world.
And as a result,
they learn.
And when they learn,
verse 16,
they make the most
of their time.
They make the most
of every opportunity
because they know
that the days are evil.
Literally,
they redeem the time.
They are careful
how they invest
the time
that they have.
I don't know
whether you have thought
about how much time
that you have.
This could be
your last night
on earth.
Could be.
What would you want
to be investing
your time in?
And I'm glad
that you're here
investing your time
here rather than
at home watching TV,
playing computer game,
or being selfish,
shopping,
gorging yourself
with food.
We are here
making the most
of our time.
That's what it means
to be wise
in light of
the judgment
of God.
Verse 17,
therefore,
don't be foolish,
but understand
what the Lord's
will is.
It's a
different way
of saying
the same thing.
Don't be an idiot.
Don't be a fool.
Live wisely,
and living wisely,
redeeming the time
means to find out
what the will
of the Lord is.
Verses 18 to 21.
Don't get drunk
on wine,
which leads
to debauchery.
Instead,
be filled
with the Spirit.
Speak to one another
with psalms,
hymns,
and spiritual songs.
Sing and make music
in your heart
to the Lord,
always giving thanks
to God the Father
before everything
in the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Submit to one another
out of reverence
for Christ.
The reason why
I went on
about living wisely
and not being a fool
in light of God's judgment
is that it kind of ties in
with the bit
I really want to focus on,
being Spirit-filled.
For 18 to 21,
I believe,
is not a new command.
In fact,
it's an explanation
of what it means
to be wise.
To be wise,
to find out
the will of God,
is to be filled
with the Spirit.
The different ways
of saying the same thing.
Of course,
it begs the question,
what does it mean
to be filled
with the Spirit?
I don't know
what you think
it means.
If you were to take
the English literally,
it's, you know,
you are a vessel
and the Spirit
fills you up.
And when you're drained
of the Spirit,
you need another
fresh filling
of the Spirit.
If you take
the metaphor literally,
is that what it means?
Firstly,
if we were to understand
the phrase
being filled
with the Spirit,
you see immediately
the context
is a contrast.
If you look at 18 again,
it says,
don't get drunk on wine.
Instead,
be filled
with the Spirit.
Spirit is intended
to be a contrast.
There's the drinking,
being drunk,
and being filled
with the Spirit.
If you can imagine,
it's literally,
instead of being filled
with wine,
Spirit,
be filled
with the Spirit.
So that's actually
the contrast.
Don't be filled
by Spirit,
but be filled
with the Spirit.
It's not that
I believe
the Ephesian church
had a problem
with drunkenness,
not like
the typical
Aussie
sort of situation.
We don't know,
but I don't think
that's the case.
But rather,
drunkenness
and all that
entails
kind of epitomizes
the ways
of darkness.
If you want
to picture
a world
without God
not knowing
what the future
will hold
in response
to the evil
of the day
where there is
no hope
and no future,
what would
that world
look like?
It would look
like the city
of Sydney
on a Saturday
night.
It would look
like
service paradise
after the HSC.
Where there is
no future
and you want
to forget
the past,
you get
drunk.
You fill
yourself
with spirit.
When you
experience
the evil
of the day,
a boring
marriage,
unruly
kids,
you seek
to escape.
They escape
the evil
of the day
and so you
gorge yourself
with spirit.
That leads
to debauchery.
And Paul
says,
in light
of the coming
judgment
of God,
we are
to live
wisely.
To find
the will
of God,
instead of
being filled
with spirit,
we are
to fill
with the
spirit.
Actually,
again,
when we ask
the question,
what does it
mean to be
filled with
the spirit?
There is a
little bit
of a tricky
thing and
it is a
matter of
translation.
If you look
at verse
18,
the command,
and it is a
command,
it is an
imperative,
it says,
be filled
with the
spirit.
You see
the little
word,
and they're
always the
important
words,
the little
word,
the
preposition.
Does anyone
know what a
preposition is?
Of course,
Leslie is going
to explain it
to me,
isn't she?
Libby,
what's the
preposition?
You should
leave a
sentence with.
Thank you.
Yes.
The little
linking words
that you get
in sentences,
like by,
off,
with,
and in
this case,
we are
told to
be filled
with the
spirit.
There is
another way
of translating
that preposition,
and that is
not be
filled with
the spirit,
the same
word that
in English
is translated
with,
could be
translated
by,
which gives
us a very
different
picture.
So the
command is
not so much
to be filled
with the
spirit,
that is the
content of
the filling,
it's the
spirit,
but rather
being filled
by the
spirit.
In other
words,
the subject,
the one
who does
the filling,
is the
spirit.
Very
different,
isn't it?
If we
are to
translate that
sentence
by,
the
proposition
is by,
what this
is saying
is,
ask the
spirit to
fill you.
The spirit
does the
filling,
we are the
ones being
filled.
Of course,
if the
spirit does
the filling,
rather than
we're being
filled with
the spirit,
that is
the content
of the
filling,
what are
we being
filled
with?
the
book of
Ephesians,
if you
look through
it,
uses
language of
filling,
or fullness,
quite a
bit.
If you go
back to
chapter 1,
verse 23,
if you
cast your
eyes,
sorry,
I'm flicking
my iPad,
1,
23,
or 22,
23,
the purposes
of God
for the
universe
in history,
and he
put all
things under
his feet
and gave
him as
head over
all things
to the
church,
which is
his body,
the fullness
of him
who fills
all in
all.
So I'm
reading from
the ESV.
In other
words,
talking about
the church,
the church
has the
fullness
of Christ.
So the
church,
as it were,
us are
filled with
Christ.
1,
19.
No,
not
1,
19,
sorry.
2,
9.
Let's
try 2,
9.
That's not
right as
well,
2.
2,
19,
is it?
2,
19,
is it?
2,
19,
is it?
2,
19,
20,
this is a
problem when
you write
down references
and,
yes.
Well,
the reference
I was looking
for is
Jesus having
the fullness
of God.
But as
Mario was
saying,
Paul prays
that the
Ephesians
might be
fulfilled
to the
fullness
of God.
So two
slightly
different
pictures.
On the
one hand,
the church
is fulfilled
with the
fullness
of Christ,
1,
23.
On the
other hand,
Paul is
asking that
they might
be filled
to the
fullness
of God
as well
too.
So we're
filled,
but we're
being
filled.
4,
13,
the goal
of,
so let me
just double
check to make
sure that
that's actually
right.
4,
13,
starting from
11,
and he
that is
the risen
Christ
gave the
apostles,
the prophets,
the evangelists,
the shepherds,
and teachers
to equip the
saints for
the work of
ministry,
for building
up the
body of
Christ,
until we
all attain
the unity
of the
faith and
the knowledge
of the
Son of
God,
to mature
manhood,
to the
measure of
the stature
of the
fullness
of Christ.
The
direction
of the
growth of
the church
is to
the fullness
of Christ.
We are
filled with
the fullness
of Christ
and we're
being filled.
That's
where we're
traveling.
That is
the goal
of the
church.
And 5,
18,
what are
we to
be filled
with?
And I
take it,
if Paul's
being consistent
at that
point,
what we're
asking the
Spirit to
do is
to fill
us with
the fullness
of God
and of
Christ.
In other
words,
the Spirit
of God
is at
work to
transform
us
into the
likeness
of the
Father
and the
Son.
We are
to be
filled
by the
Spirit.
We are
to walk
in step
with the
Spirit,
to be
subject
to the
control
of the
Spirit
so that
we'll
continue
to be,
to keep
growing
into the
likeness
of Christ,
be imitators
of God,
Paul says.
In other
words,
we are
to,
and this
is a
parallel
passage
from
Colossians,
we are
to let
Christ's
Word
rule in
our
lives.
And I
want to
demonstrate
that once
again with
the contrast
that Paul
sets up.
Don't be
filled
by Spirit,
but be
filled
by the
Spirit.
What
happens
when people
are filled
by
grog?
Again,
cast your
mind to
Schoolies
Week,
which is
last week,
right?
I don't
know.
It's still
on.
When,
you know,
imagine all
the teenagers
up in
Queensland,
and they're
filled by
Spirit,
what happens?
They get
blurry-eyed,
they stagger,
they lose
control.
They lose
control of
themselves,
and they do
all sorts of
things.
Instead of
controlling
themselves,
what controls
them?
It's the
alcohol,
isn't it?
When you're
filled by
Spirit,
the Spirit
takes control.
The contrast
is don't be
filled,
don't be
controlled
by alcohol,
but rather
be controlled
by the
Spirit of
God.
walk in
step with
the Spirit,
obey the
Word of
God,
as the
Spirit makes
you more
and more
like Christ.
Our days
are evil.
The judgment
of God
is about
to fall.
The axe
is at the
foot of
the tree.
You do
not escape
the evil
of our
day,
but we,
as the
people of
God,
are to
confront
the evil
of our
day.
We do
not confront
the evil
by losing
control,
by running
away from
it,
but we
confront
the evil
of our
day by
walking
in step
with the
Spirit.
And look
at the
consequence.
Being drunk,
being controlled
by Spirit,
leads to
debauchery.
But being
filled by
the Spirit,
controlled by
the Spirit,
leads to
what?
verse 19.
Sorry,
flicking
through.
If you're
filled by
the Spirit,
it affects
your...
Okay?
it changes
the way
you
speak.
We are
to...
If you
are filled
by the
Spirit,
you will
then speak
to one
another with
psalms,
hymns,
and spiritual
songs.
You will
sing and
make music
in your
heart to
the Lord.
You will
always be
giving thanks
to God
the Father
for everything
in the
name of
our
Lord Jesus.
And if
you're
filled by
the Spirit,
you will
be
submissive.
Submit to
one another
out of
reference
for Christ.
Singing.
If you're
a Spirit-filled
Christian,
filled by
the Spirit,
you will
sing.
By the way,
in verse
19,
it's not
talking about
two different
activities.
There are
two sentences
there,
two clauses.
It's not
talking about...
But the
same activity
from two
perspectives.
One
perspective is
a horizontal
dimension.
When you
come to
church to
sing,
you are
singing to
one another.
That's what
happens.
You edify,
you instruct,
you exhort,
you admonish
one another
with your
singing.
Did you
realise that?
When you
were singing
those songs,
one of the
objects of
your singing
is actually
me and
you and
each other.
You are to
sing to
one another.
You are to
speak to
one another
in those
songs,
to encourage
them.
And I
wonder whether
this is what
you have in
mind when
you sing.
When you
sing to
one another,
whether you
have in
mind what
you are
encouraging
them with.
But it's
not just
singing to
one another.
The second
half of the
verse talks
about us
singing to
the Lord
Jesus Christ.
There isn't
just a
horizontal
dimension to
our singing.
There is a
vertical
dimension.
we are to
praise the
Lord with
our whole
being,
with joyfulness,
with not
like, if I
dare say, and
this is dangerous
ground at which
I tread, not
like the
half-hearted
Anglo-Saxon
stuff, you
know, hands
by the side,
you know.
Perhaps this is
something that we
can learn from
our charismatic
brothers and
sisters.
When we sing,
we join our
hearts to the
Lord, you
know, it's
with our
whole being.
When we
are filled
by the
Spirit, we
are to sing
wholeheartedly.
We are to
sing lovingly,
lovingly.
We are to
think of the
other person.
We are to
edify them, to
instruct them,
and in this
way we sing
praise to the
Lord.
The second
thing that
happens is we
will be filled
with thanksgiving.
Christians will
not only sing,
but we will
give thanks to
the Lord for
the, you
know, that
ought to, that
really ought to,
and it wouldn't
be hard for us
to be marked out
to be different
to the rest of
the world.
There's someone
I, well, we
are among
friends.
I don't know,
is this going to
go public?
Anyway, okay.
Well, there is a
guy that I
know, and
every time I
see him on a
Friday morning,
nothing but
complain.
Every single
bit, you know,
the surf is
bad, the
coffee is bad,
this is bad,
you know, this
is the typical
Aussie and
Chinese in
Australia.
Unthankfulness.
Nothing is
good enough.
Just grumbling
all the time.
And if you
look at
Romans 1.18,
one of the
mark of the
depraved, the
wicked, is
their unthankfulness.
And yet one of
the, do you
remember Jesus
healing the
ten lepers?
Only one came
back to do
what?
The others
were unthankful.
Thankfulness
marks the
Christian out to
be different
to everybody
else.
Thankfulness
permeates our
being and
are obvious
to others.
But something
rather disturbing
here when you
look at
thankfulness.
Verse 20,
always giving
thanks to
God the
Father for
everything.
Very
inclusive sort
of language,
always, we
get that.
So, but for
everything?
Does Paul
really mean
that?
We are to
give thanks for
everything?
Sure, we can
give thanks for
the good stuff,
healthy children,
good marriage,
sunshine.
But are we, is
Paul saying that
we are to give
thanks when we
break our leg?
You know,
somebody trips
over and we
say, thank God
for that, for
unemployment, for
unanswered prayers,
periods of doubt
and depression,
genocide, for
evil?
Are we to give
thanks for
those things?
Yes, in all
things, we are
told by Paul in
Romans 8, God
worked for the
good of those
who love him and
we are to thank
him for that.
But just to
make sure that
we are reading
this right, the
point here is
not so much
giving thanks to
God for the
circumstances for
which praise is
to be offered,
rather we are
to thank God
for the rich
blessings he
has levished us
with in every
and each
circumstance.
This harks
back to
Ephesians 1
where we are
told that we
are given
every spiritual
blessing in the
heavenly realms.
Paul isn't
saying that evil
is good and
God is to be
praised, but
rather we are
to direct our
thanks and
praise to the
source of all
things, God
the Father
who has blessed
us in Christ
with all
things.
So if you're
thinking, okay,
what I really
need in terms of
fine and belly
to keep going
as a Christian,
then what I
would say is
you need to
be spirit
filled, not
be filled with
the spirit, but
by the spirit.
If you feel
by the spirit,
it will change
the way you
sing.
It will change
the way you
your thankfulness
or lack of
thankfulness.
But lastly, it
will change the
way you relate
to other
people.
For verse 21
tells us that
the spirit-filled
life is a life
of submission.
And this is
where I'm going
to get you to
do the work.
Because we
haven't really
programmed in,
or that's not
my preaching
passage, and we're
not going to have
a chance to
look at this
tomorrow.
So I'm going
to get you
guys to look
at verses
22 to
chapter 6,
1 to
9.
Okay?
With the people
around you,
and kind of
discuss, well,
what does
spirit-filled
Christian
relationship
look like
for you?
How would
that change
Christian
marriage?
How would
it change
parent and
child relationship?
You might want
to discuss that
with your dad
or not.
And how would
that change
your relationship
with your
master, for
those of you
who are
slaves?
That is
parents and
kids again.
Yeah.
Okay, so I'll
give you, how
long do I
have, Sam?
Whenever.
What about
five, seven
minutes?
They're fairly
familiar.
Turn to the
people around
you.
Have we read
through it?
Oh, look, I'll
give you ten
minutes.
Five minutes to
read through it,
and another five
minutes just to
talk to people
around you.
It certainly
is.
It certainly
is.
It changes the
direction.
In fact,
somebody said
that, and
I'll throw it
up there,
marriage is a
creation ordinance,
so it testifies
something about
how God has
created the
universe.
But Christian
marriages is
actually a
redemption
ordinance.
So it
actually points
to something
even better.
It testifies,
it signals,
it shows,
it directs to
redemption rather
than just
creation.
Just to share
another story
about marriage
as well,
too, I told
this at one
of the
weddings.
A lady,
there was a
couple getting
married and
they were
being counselled
and one of
the sessions
that came back
to the minister
and said,
we're calling
this off.
And the
minister said,
why are you
doing that?
And the
lady said,
look, we
were talking
about what to
do with our
finances and
we had two
accounts and
my fiancé wants
us to have
one account
after we get
married and I
just can't do
that.
I need to have
my own account
and my own
money.
And I don't
know what you
would say in
that instance.
business.
And so he
said to her,
look, think
of it this
way, if you
can't trust this
man with your
money, then
maybe you
shouldn't be
marrying him.
Submission has,
I think, a lot
to do with
trust.
You're entrusting
your future,
your well-being
to someone
into their
hand and you
can't trust
him with your
money, then
what are you
doing entrusting
him with your
life?
And of course
to the husband
he said,
look, she's
entrusting her
whole being to
you, what are
you going to
do with it?
Are you going
to abuse her
trust?
It's a fairly
high standard
when someone
hands their
future and
their being
into your
hands.
It's a very
high standard
of care, as
it were.
Any other?
Steve?
So in that
respect, the
outer reverence
for Christ
is a really
important
condition, isn't
it?
Ultimately, we're
saying, who are
we trusting?
Are we just
trusting the man
or the woman?
Ultimately, we're
actually trusting
God or the
Lord Jesus Christ.
Do we trust
him enough to
protect us when
we are being in
a vulnerable
position?
Or do we keep
thinking that we
need to protect
ourselves?
Do we trust
the Lord enough
as husbands to
love our wives
in the same
way?
Or do we
think that we
need to protect
ourselves as
well too?
So ultimately,
it's actually, who
do we really
trust?
Do we trust the
Lord?
And that's a
high level of
trust as well
too.
Anything on
parents and
kids?
Kids?
We're all
kids.
We're all
children.
Parents?
No?
Spirit-filled
parenting?
Spirit-filled
children?
Same issues of
trust, I think,
and submission.
Kids are very
vulnerable.
We're
entrusting our
well-being to
our parents.
And I
suppose it
begs the
question, do
we really
trust the
Lord Jesus
enough to
do that?
Okay, being
filled by the
Spirit of God.
We might
finish up.
It's not, I
think we tend
to think of
Spirit-filled
ness as
something spooky.
You know, when
the Spirit
fills us, you
know, it
changes.
Well, it
does change
us, but
the type of
things that
Paul is
concerned about
is really
practical.
Spirit-filled
Christians are
loving husbands,
trusting
wives,
good
employees,
people who
paid a
mortgage on
time, and
things like
that.
If you
want to
assess
people's
spirituality,
humanity,
don't, you
know, judge
them or
us or
yourself by,
you know,
like things
that are
spooky or
mystical or
whatever it
is.
Look at how
they relate to
their husbands
and wives and
kids and
parents and
people at
work.
You know,
this is where
the rubber
hits the
road.
Well, how
does the
Spirit work
in
filling us?
Paul says,
I think this
is from
Steve's
passage.
If I can
take you back
to chapter
3, and
this is where
I'll finish.
Chapter 3,
verse 14.
For this
reason, I
bar my
knees before
the Father,
from whom
every family
in heaven
and on
earth is
named,
that according
to the
riches of
his glory,
he may
grant you
to be
strengthened
with power
through his
Spirit in
your inner
being, so
that Christ
may dwell
in your
hearts through
faith, that
you, being
rooted and
grounded in
life, may
have strength
to comprehend
with all the
saints what
is the
breadth and
length and
height and
depth, and
to know the
love of Christ
that surpasses
knowledge, that
you may be
filled with
all the
fullness of
God.
The way
the Spirit
works is, if
you ask
him, he
will give
you power,
and if
you're tired,
and if
you're dry,
what you
need to
do is to
go to
God right
now and
ask him
for power.
It's a very
evangelical thing
to say, by
the way.
Ask him for
power, the
spiritual power,
and when you
have that power,
do you know what
will happen?
To lead you to
this Spirit-filled
life?
He will give you
understanding
of the love
of God.
God.
That's what the
Spirit will
do.
The Spirit
will strengthen
you in the
inside by
reminding you,
explaining to
you in ways
that you
cannot imagine
how much
God loves
you.
What you
need to know
is the love
of God to
live the type
of life that
Paul is
talking about.
Let's
give
any
thought
about
Hal
and
we
have
a
