00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.580
 you may be read in your newspapers this week that

00:00:06.580 --> 00:00:14.859
 Meghan Markle's former friend and agent advised her before she got married

00:00:14.859 --> 00:00:16.420
 don't marry Harry

00:00:16.420 --> 00:00:23.219
 the reason for it was according to Meghan's friend was

00:00:23.219 --> 00:00:27.740
 you marry him your life will be wrecked by the British media

00:00:27.739 --> 00:00:33.179
 I think we already see some early signs of that

00:00:33.179 --> 00:00:38.859
 and clearly Meghan like Rehoboam chose to ignore the advice

00:00:38.859 --> 00:00:45.579
 and went ahead and married Harry and life looks a little tough for them right now

00:00:45.579 --> 00:00:50.879
 but I want you just to think about this this morning

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:54.920
 and that is how well do you handle advice

00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:02.020
 I'm pretty sure that most of you could think of a moment in your life

00:01:02.020 --> 00:01:03.960
 when somebody you know

00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.659
 somebody you might even love

00:01:06.659 --> 00:01:09.900
 somebody you trust offers you a word of advice

00:01:09.900 --> 00:01:15.260
 but you go with Frank Sinatra and do it your way

00:01:15.260 --> 00:01:21.439
 I want to talk to you this morning about listening

00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:27.240
 and it's very difficult to kind of teach people how to listen

00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:31.659
 but I'm going to embark on what might be an unwise exercise

00:01:31.659 --> 00:01:35.780
 because this session today

00:01:35.780 --> 00:01:37.200
 they don't listen

00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:43.579
 is built around a course which is about wisdom

00:01:43.579 --> 00:01:45.420
 and growing older

00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:51.980
 so I'm assuming that the idea of being wise

00:01:51.980 --> 00:01:54.620
 is today at least

00:01:54.620 --> 00:01:59.100
 wise people listen to the right kind of advice

00:01:59.100 --> 00:02:00.520
 to godly advice

00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.319
 and I think that's a problem for us immediately

00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.739
 because I sense that in our culture

00:02:07.739 --> 00:02:13.400
 we're only likely to take advice that we feel comfortable with

00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:19.719
 advice that kind of generally agrees with the direction of travel

00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:21.500
 that we want to take

00:02:21.500 --> 00:02:27.139
 I wonder how many parents of teenage children have had that

00:02:27.139 --> 00:02:30.120
 debate where you advise your child

00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.300
 you should go to university first

00:02:32.300 --> 00:02:35.139
 and get the security of a degree behind you

00:02:35.139 --> 00:02:39.840
 only to discover that your kid would much rather go to Thailand for three months

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:44.259
 or how many of you have had

00:02:44.259 --> 00:02:47.900
 something that's a kind of minor concern medically

00:02:47.900 --> 00:02:50.580
 and somebody you love says

00:02:50.580 --> 00:02:52.939
 you know what you should go and get that check medically

00:02:52.939 --> 00:02:55.640
 but you know better

00:02:55.640 --> 00:02:56.599
 and then suddenly

00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:58.740
 you are really ill

00:02:58.740 --> 00:03:02.500
 I want to talk to you about three things this morning

00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:03.540
 the first is

00:03:03.540 --> 00:03:05.300
 I want to talk to you

00:03:05.300 --> 00:03:06.420
 about

00:03:06.420 --> 00:03:09.200
 listening to God

00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:12.099
 I want to talk to you about listening

00:03:12.099 --> 00:03:14.439
 for godly advice

00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.960
 and I want to talk to you about

00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:18.280
 once you've listened to God

00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.040
 and once you've sought godly advice

00:03:20.040 --> 00:03:22.520
 I want to give you a word of advice

00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:23.680
 and that is go do it

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.860
 so when I say

00:03:26.860 --> 00:03:27.640
 is that alright

00:03:27.640 --> 00:03:29.860
 I recognise you have no choice at all

00:03:29.860 --> 00:03:32.980
 so first of all

00:03:32.980 --> 00:03:35.280
 let's just think for a moment

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.520
 about listening to God

00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.319
 the background to our reading

00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:43.760
 is Rehoboam

00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:45.719
 who was the son of Solomon

00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:47.080
 who of course

00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:48.419
 within Judaism today

00:03:48.419 --> 00:03:49.560
 and Judaism then

00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:50.280
 was regarded

00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:52.159
 as the wisest person

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.000
 who ever inhabited the planet

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.639
 one of the commentators

00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:57.639
 on this passage

00:03:57.639 --> 00:03:58.740
 makes this comment

00:03:58.740 --> 00:04:01.759
 Solomon was very young

00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:03.460
 when he became king of Israel

00:04:03.460 --> 00:04:04.719
 but he was very wise

00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:05.620
 from the get go

00:04:05.620 --> 00:04:08.340
 Rehoboam took it on

00:04:08.340 --> 00:04:09.800
 at age 40

00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.060
 and was without wisdom

00:04:12.060 --> 00:04:12.639
 whatsoever

00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:13.879
 and the example

00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.339
 that we have here is

00:04:15.339 --> 00:04:17.120
 it's interesting

00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.479
 that some of you again

00:04:18.479 --> 00:04:20.419
 have seen on your television screens

00:04:20.419 --> 00:04:21.180
 the dreadful

00:04:21.180 --> 00:04:23.800
 rioting in Iraq

00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:25.939
 where the people are saying

00:04:25.939 --> 00:04:27.919
 this government is dysfunctional

00:04:27.919 --> 00:04:28.800
 it's too hard

00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:30.159
 we're paying too many taxes

00:04:30.159 --> 00:04:31.079
 there are no jobs

00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:32.360
 we've got no earnings

00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:33.219
 it's horrible

00:04:33.219 --> 00:04:34.459
 so they're out on the streets

00:04:34.459 --> 00:04:35.379
 demonstrating

00:04:35.379 --> 00:04:37.779
 and unfortunately

00:04:37.779 --> 00:04:39.219
 the government is repressive

00:04:39.220 --> 00:04:40.440
 and thinks

00:04:40.440 --> 00:04:41.480
 that if people complain

00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:42.160
 about their lot

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:43.020
 they should be shot

00:04:43.020 --> 00:04:46.780
 well in Rehoboam's time

00:04:46.780 --> 00:04:47.920
 it was a bit like that

00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:48.580
 Solomon

00:04:48.580 --> 00:04:49.600
 had governed

00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:49.940
 the

00:04:49.940 --> 00:04:51.660
 united kingdom

00:04:51.660 --> 00:04:52.320
 of Israel

00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:53.540
 it was subsequently

00:04:53.540 --> 00:04:54.620
 breaking apart

00:04:54.620 --> 00:04:55.400
 and Rehoboam

00:04:55.400 --> 00:04:56.720
 became the king of Judah

00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.120
 and Rehoboam

00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.220
 did what most wise kings

00:05:01.220 --> 00:05:01.700
 would do

00:05:01.700 --> 00:05:02.540
 to start with

00:05:02.540 --> 00:05:04.020
 he went to the elders

00:05:04.020 --> 00:05:04.780
 of the tribe

00:05:04.780 --> 00:05:05.680
 and he said to them

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:06.080
 listen

00:05:06.080 --> 00:05:07.820
 there's problems here

00:05:07.819 --> 00:05:09.399
 and the people

00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.000
 are very dissatisfied

00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:12.860
 and the advice

00:05:12.860 --> 00:05:14.159
 of the elders was

00:05:14.159 --> 00:05:16.099
 lighten their yoke

00:05:16.099 --> 00:05:19.719
 make life easier for them

00:05:19.719 --> 00:05:22.019
 Rehoboam

00:05:22.019 --> 00:05:23.240
 really didn't want to hear

00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:23.959
 that advice

00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:24.879
 it probably would have

00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:26.019
 affected the treasury

00:05:26.019 --> 00:05:28.219
 and would have affected

00:05:28.219 --> 00:05:29.300
 his lifestyle

00:05:29.300 --> 00:05:30.819
 so he goes to

00:05:30.819 --> 00:05:31.959
 his mates

00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:34.459
 the young people

00:05:34.459 --> 00:05:35.860
 the kind of equivalent

00:05:35.860 --> 00:05:36.959
 of the entitled

00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:38.239
 of that time

00:05:38.239 --> 00:05:40.239
 and says to them

00:05:40.239 --> 00:05:41.180
 what do you say

00:05:41.180 --> 00:05:41.680
 I should do

00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:42.120
 they say

00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:43.139
 you go and tell them

00:05:43.139 --> 00:05:44.199
 your yoke

00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:44.859
 is going to get

00:05:44.859 --> 00:05:46.099
 heavier and heavier

00:05:46.099 --> 00:05:49.399
 and the rest of the story

00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:49.719
 is

00:05:49.719 --> 00:05:51.740
 what follows from that

00:05:51.740 --> 00:05:54.439
 you see

00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:55.500
 put your hand up

00:05:55.500 --> 00:05:56.039
 if you think

00:05:56.039 --> 00:05:56.799
 Rehoboam

00:05:56.799 --> 00:05:57.500
 was wise

00:05:57.500 --> 00:05:58.500
 to take the advice

00:05:58.500 --> 00:05:59.159
 of the youngsters

00:05:59.159 --> 00:06:03.699
 you're

00:06:03.699 --> 00:06:05.179
 brighter than you look

00:06:05.180 --> 00:06:09.100
 of course

00:06:09.100 --> 00:06:11.860
 it was a foolish thing

00:06:11.860 --> 00:06:12.660
 that he did

00:06:12.660 --> 00:06:15.400
 and so

00:06:15.400 --> 00:06:17.780
 I want to talk to you

00:06:17.780 --> 00:06:18.160
 about

00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:19.879
 listening to God

00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:20.939
 first and foremost

00:06:20.939 --> 00:06:22.300
 simply because

00:06:22.300 --> 00:06:23.199
 one of the most

00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:23.960
 chilling verses

00:06:23.960 --> 00:06:24.939
 in the New Testament

00:06:24.939 --> 00:06:26.340
 you'll find in Matthew 7

00:06:26.340 --> 00:06:28.340
 where Jesus says

00:06:28.340 --> 00:06:29.680
 not everyone who calls me

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:29.980
 Lord

00:06:29.980 --> 00:06:30.860
 Lord will enter

00:06:30.860 --> 00:06:32.220
 the kingdom of heaven

00:06:32.220 --> 00:06:33.580
 but only those

00:06:33.580 --> 00:06:34.780
 who do the will

00:06:34.780 --> 00:06:36.340
 of my father

00:06:36.340 --> 00:06:39.600
 see there's a problem

00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:40.260
 immediately

00:06:40.260 --> 00:06:40.940
 isn't there

00:06:40.940 --> 00:06:42.640
 and that is

00:06:42.640 --> 00:06:43.240
 how do I

00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:44.360
 separate out

00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:45.300
 God's will

00:06:45.300 --> 00:06:46.360
 for my life

00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:48.140
 from my will

00:06:48.140 --> 00:06:49.500
 for my life

00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:51.520
 how is it

00:06:51.520 --> 00:06:52.840
 that I might be able

00:06:52.840 --> 00:06:53.680
 to find my

00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:54.600
 true north

00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:55.000
 in life

00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:55.800
 find out

00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:57.240
 exactly what it is

00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:58.420
 that God wants me

00:06:58.420 --> 00:06:59.800
 to do with my life

00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:03.160
 or do I just

00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:04.140
 follow my own

00:07:04.140 --> 00:07:04.939
 urges

00:07:04.939 --> 00:07:06.660
 and instincts

00:07:06.660 --> 00:07:09.660
 well I want to

00:07:09.660 --> 00:07:10.460
 suggest to you

00:07:10.460 --> 00:07:11.620
 before I talk

00:07:11.620 --> 00:07:13.020
 about the five ways

00:07:13.020 --> 00:07:13.819
 that you can

00:07:13.819 --> 00:07:15.620
 listen to God

00:07:15.620 --> 00:07:17.520
 I want to say

00:07:17.520 --> 00:07:17.840
 this

00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:18.939
 that in the Bible

00:07:18.939 --> 00:07:20.400
 Bible Sunday

00:07:20.400 --> 00:07:21.540
 of course I'd give it

00:07:21.540 --> 00:07:22.060
 a mention

00:07:22.060 --> 00:07:24.520
 in the Bible

00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.359
 there are

00:07:27.359 --> 00:07:28.560
 basically

00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:29.500
 two kinds

00:07:29.500 --> 00:07:30.060
 of advice

00:07:30.060 --> 00:07:31.039
 and one kind

00:07:31.039 --> 00:07:31.539
 of advice

00:07:31.539 --> 00:07:32.459
 predominates

00:07:32.459 --> 00:07:33.219
 and it's this

00:07:33.219 --> 00:07:34.699
 what God wants

00:07:34.699 --> 00:07:35.859
 all his people

00:07:35.859 --> 00:07:36.359
 to know

00:07:36.359 --> 00:07:38.139
 so in the Bible

00:07:38.139 --> 00:07:38.699
 saying

00:07:38.699 --> 00:07:40.419
 don't be a fornicator

00:07:40.419 --> 00:07:41.339
 don't be a liar

00:07:41.339 --> 00:07:42.019
 don't use

00:07:42.019 --> 00:07:42.500
 you know

00:07:42.500 --> 00:07:43.959
 don't behave

00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:45.199
 like a moron

00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:46.719
 I'm obviously

00:07:46.719 --> 00:07:47.339
 praising

00:07:47.339 --> 00:07:50.579
 it's not like

00:07:50.579 --> 00:07:51.139
 some of us

00:07:51.139 --> 00:07:52.099
 can be morons

00:07:52.099 --> 00:07:52.779
 and some of us

00:07:52.779 --> 00:07:53.279
 can't

00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:53.939
 or some of us

00:07:53.939 --> 00:07:54.879
 can be fornicated

00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:55.139
 and said

00:07:55.139 --> 00:07:56.040
 no that's advice

00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:57.219
 for all God's people

00:07:57.219 --> 00:07:58.160
 for our well-being

00:07:58.160 --> 00:07:59.939
 the God who created you

00:07:59.939 --> 00:08:01.160
 knows what's best

00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:01.680
 for you

00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:02.540
 and the Bible

00:08:02.540 --> 00:08:03.879
 reveals to us

00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:04.620
 in part

00:08:04.620 --> 00:08:05.279
 what is best

00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:05.899
 for us

00:08:05.899 --> 00:08:08.420
 the Bible also

00:08:08.420 --> 00:08:08.920
 I think

00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:09.899
 can guide us

00:08:09.899 --> 00:08:11.000
 individually

00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.480
 you may have

00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:15.199
 examples

00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:16.500
 I'm not suggesting

00:08:16.500 --> 00:08:16.860
 that

00:08:16.860 --> 00:08:17.579
 you know

00:08:17.579 --> 00:08:18.159
 the best way

00:08:18.159 --> 00:08:19.360
 to seek God's advice

00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:20.040
 is to kind of

00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:20.680
 just flick through

00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:21.259
 the pages

00:08:21.259 --> 00:08:22.159
 open at random

00:08:22.159 --> 00:08:23.300
 and then read a verse

00:08:23.300 --> 00:08:24.980
 read about a man

00:08:24.980 --> 00:08:25.720
 who did that

00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:26.259
 and it said

00:08:26.259 --> 00:08:26.980
 Judas went

00:08:26.980 --> 00:08:27.960
 and hanged himself

00:08:27.960 --> 00:08:29.079
 so he thought

00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:29.560
 I'll give us

00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:30.180
 another shot

00:08:30.180 --> 00:08:30.819
 he did exactly

00:08:30.819 --> 00:08:31.540
 the same thing

00:08:31.540 --> 00:08:31.840
 it said

00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:33.120
 go thou

00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:34.139
 and do likewise

00:08:34.139 --> 00:08:37.600
 but the Bible

00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:38.560
 if you read it

00:08:38.560 --> 00:08:39.120
 regularly

00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:40.879
 you will be

00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:41.600
 surprised

00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:42.480
 how often

00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:43.379
 it speaks

00:08:43.379 --> 00:08:44.860
 straight into

00:08:44.860 --> 00:08:45.860
 your situation

00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:48.200
 the other day

00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:48.899
 I really

00:08:48.899 --> 00:08:50.139
 lost perspective

00:08:50.139 --> 00:08:51.279
 over an issue

00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:52.240
 in my life

00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:55.059
 I was so

00:08:55.059 --> 00:08:56.120
 stressed out

00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:57.000
 by what was

00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:57.879
 happening to me

00:08:57.879 --> 00:08:59.059
 and so

00:08:59.059 --> 00:08:59.600
 kind of

00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:00.580
 out of control

00:09:00.580 --> 00:09:01.059
 of what was

00:09:01.059 --> 00:09:01.519
 happening to me

00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:02.019
 I'm like

00:09:02.019 --> 00:09:03.679
 I don't get this

00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:04.360
 I'm depressed

00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:04.699
 you know

00:09:04.699 --> 00:09:06.000
 maybe I should

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:06.960
 go and see a doctor

00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:07.399
 whatever

00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:09.279
 and then I read

00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:10.319
 my daily reading

00:09:10.319 --> 00:09:13.039
 online

00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:17.039
 and it reminded me

00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:18.139
 that whatever

00:09:18.139 --> 00:09:18.759
 I'm feeling

00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:19.480
 God is still

00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:19.980
 suffering

00:09:19.980 --> 00:09:21.679
 and whatever

00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:22.379
 happens to me

00:09:22.379 --> 00:09:23.039
 God has my

00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:24.019
 best interest

00:09:24.019 --> 00:09:25.240
 at heart

00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.559
 and I was able

00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:29.080
 just in that

00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:29.919
 simple

00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:31.700
 reading of

00:09:31.700 --> 00:09:32.120
 scripture

00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:32.879
 to recover

00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:34.019
 some perspective

00:09:34.019 --> 00:09:37.360
 so

00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.080
 five ways

00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:40.299
 that you can

00:09:40.299 --> 00:09:40.919
 discern the

00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:41.340
 will of God

00:09:41.340 --> 00:09:42.100
 the first is

00:09:42.100 --> 00:09:42.539
 the Bible

00:09:42.539 --> 00:09:43.159
 I've talked

00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:43.840
 about that

00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:44.980
 but I want

00:09:44.980 --> 00:09:45.879
 to encourage you

00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:46.580
 and this fits

00:09:46.580 --> 00:09:47.080
 well with

00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:47.779
 Bible Sunday

00:09:47.779 --> 00:09:48.519
 which incidentally

00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:48.919
 I didn't even

00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:49.319
 know it was

00:09:49.319 --> 00:09:50.019
 Bible Sunday

00:09:50.019 --> 00:09:50.659
 when I walked

00:09:50.659 --> 00:09:51.220
 in here

00:09:51.220 --> 00:09:52.399
 Bible Sunday

00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:52.939
 used to be

00:09:52.939 --> 00:09:53.419
 the second

00:09:53.419 --> 00:09:54.139
 Sunday in

00:09:54.139 --> 00:09:54.500
 Advent

00:09:54.500 --> 00:09:55.159
 according to

00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:55.519
 us old

00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:56.039
 codgers

00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:57.000
 remember that

00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:57.439
 famous

00:09:57.439 --> 00:09:57.799
 collect

00:09:57.799 --> 00:09:58.159
 read

00:09:58.159 --> 00:09:58.480
 mark

00:09:58.480 --> 00:09:58.799
 learn

00:09:58.799 --> 00:09:59.039
 and

00:09:59.039 --> 00:09:59.539
 inwardly

00:09:59.539 --> 00:10:00.139
 digest

00:10:00.139 --> 00:10:01.439
 that's the

00:10:01.439 --> 00:10:01.860
 collect for

00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:02.279
 the second

00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:02.819
 Sunday in

00:10:02.819 --> 00:10:03.100
 Advent

00:10:03.100 --> 00:10:04.019
 not the

00:10:04.019 --> 00:10:04.439
 Sunday

00:10:04.439 --> 00:10:06.019
 in the middle

00:10:06.019 --> 00:10:06.559
 of nowhere

00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:09.720
 that's not my

00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:10.019
 point

00:10:10.019 --> 00:10:12.100
 my point is

00:10:12.100 --> 00:10:13.139
 that if you

00:10:13.139 --> 00:10:13.699
 read the

00:10:13.699 --> 00:10:14.059
 scriptures

00:10:14.059 --> 00:10:15.059
 read the

00:10:15.059 --> 00:10:15.939
 scriptures

00:10:15.939 --> 00:10:16.759
 regularly

00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:18.379
 you will find

00:10:18.379 --> 00:10:19.419
 that when

00:10:19.419 --> 00:10:20.059
 you're facing

00:10:20.059 --> 00:10:20.579
 an issue

00:10:20.579 --> 00:10:20.979
 in life

00:10:20.979 --> 00:10:21.739
 very often

00:10:21.739 --> 00:10:22.459
 your reading

00:10:22.459 --> 00:10:23.139
 for the day

00:10:23.139 --> 00:10:24.679
 will speak

00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:25.459
 straight into

00:10:25.459 --> 00:10:26.179
 that situation

00:10:26.179 --> 00:10:26.939
 is that magic

00:10:26.939 --> 00:10:27.799
 no it's not

00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:30.019
 it's because

00:10:30.019 --> 00:10:30.799
 our God

00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:31.659
 wants to

00:10:31.659 --> 00:10:32.179
 communicate

00:10:32.179 --> 00:10:32.879
 with you

00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:34.579
 and one of

00:10:34.579 --> 00:10:35.179
 the primary

00:10:35.179 --> 00:10:36.139
 ways that God

00:10:36.139 --> 00:10:37.199
 communicates

00:10:37.199 --> 00:10:37.699
 with us

00:10:37.699 --> 00:10:38.559
 is through

00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:39.479
 his word

00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.659
 the second

00:10:41.659 --> 00:10:42.420
 thing is

00:10:42.420 --> 00:10:43.460
 and this is

00:10:43.460 --> 00:10:44.019
 obvious

00:10:44.019 --> 00:10:45.080
 God guides

00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:45.720
 us through

00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:46.279
 prayer

00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.500
 through earnestly

00:10:48.500 --> 00:10:49.360
 seeking

00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:50.379
 his will

00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:52.120
 of course

00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:52.659
 he does

00:10:52.659 --> 00:10:54.120
 and there's a

00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:54.620
 problem with

00:10:54.620 --> 00:10:55.180
 that in our

00:10:55.180 --> 00:10:55.720
 culture that

00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:56.320
 we tend to

00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:57.200
 move at

00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:58.039
 too high

00:10:58.039 --> 00:10:58.720
 speed to

00:10:58.720 --> 00:10:59.259
 ever sit

00:10:59.259 --> 00:11:00.279
 down and

00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:00.920
 pray and

00:11:00.920 --> 00:11:01.420
 listen to

00:11:01.420 --> 00:11:01.700
 God

00:11:01.700 --> 00:11:04.120
 we seem to

00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:04.740
 think that

00:11:04.740 --> 00:11:05.980
 fast moving

00:11:05.980 --> 00:11:07.100
 microwaved

00:11:07.100 --> 00:11:08.460
 existence is a

00:11:08.460 --> 00:11:09.080
 good way to

00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:09.560
 live

00:11:09.560 --> 00:11:11.759
 but actually

00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:12.320
 if you live

00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:12.820
 like that

00:11:12.820 --> 00:11:13.360
 in the end

00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:14.000
 it very likely

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:14.520
 will make you

00:11:14.520 --> 00:11:14.780
 ill

00:11:14.780 --> 00:11:21.540
 Isaiah the

00:11:21.540 --> 00:11:22.560
 prophet said

00:11:22.560 --> 00:11:24.639
 race around

00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:25.379
 and know

00:11:25.379 --> 00:11:25.900
 that I am

00:11:25.900 --> 00:11:26.200
 God

00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.340
 actually he

00:11:28.340 --> 00:11:28.759
 never said

00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:29.020
 that

00:11:29.020 --> 00:11:30.540
 he said

00:11:30.540 --> 00:11:31.220
 be still

00:11:31.220 --> 00:11:33.580
 be still

00:11:33.580 --> 00:11:34.740
 and know

00:11:34.740 --> 00:11:35.360
 that I am

00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:35.720
 God

00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:37.340
 and unless

00:11:37.340 --> 00:11:38.040
 we can build

00:11:38.040 --> 00:11:38.980
 some stillness

00:11:38.980 --> 00:11:39.580
 into our

00:11:39.580 --> 00:11:40.200
 lives unless

00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:41.440
 we can turn

00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:41.820
 off the

00:11:41.820 --> 00:11:42.680
 microwave that

00:11:42.680 --> 00:11:43.500
 drives us

00:11:43.500 --> 00:11:45.399
 we will find

00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:46.279
 it harder to

00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:46.720
 hear God

00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:47.220
 the third

00:11:47.220 --> 00:11:47.879
 thing is

00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:49.700
 and this is

00:11:49.700 --> 00:11:50.200
 tricky

00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:53.399
 the third

00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:54.100
 way that God

00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:54.920
 guides us is

00:11:54.920 --> 00:11:55.899
 through Christian

00:11:55.899 --> 00:11:56.519
 friends

00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:59.580
 a burden

00:11:59.580 --> 00:12:00.879
 shed is a

00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:01.200
 burden

00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:02.060
 halved is a

00:12:02.060 --> 00:12:02.720
 well-known

00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:04.860
 proverb that

00:12:04.860 --> 00:12:05.659
 actually comes

00:12:05.659 --> 00:12:06.439
 from Galatians

00:12:06.439 --> 00:12:07.219
 chapter 6

00:12:07.219 --> 00:12:08.179
 where the

00:12:08.179 --> 00:12:08.839
 great apostle

00:12:08.839 --> 00:12:09.439
 writes these

00:12:09.439 --> 00:12:09.839
 words he

00:12:09.839 --> 00:12:10.439
 says share

00:12:10.439 --> 00:12:11.199
 your burdens

00:12:11.199 --> 00:12:11.659
 with one

00:12:11.659 --> 00:12:12.639
 another and

00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:13.439
 so fulfill

00:12:13.439 --> 00:12:14.039
 the law of

00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:14.500
 Christ

00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:17.500
 you've got an

00:12:17.500 --> 00:12:18.639
 issue go talk

00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:19.079
 to somebody

00:12:19.079 --> 00:12:19.779
 but we've all

00:12:19.779 --> 00:12:20.419
 got Christian

00:12:20.419 --> 00:12:21.360
 friends I

00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:21.939
 have many

00:12:21.939 --> 00:12:23.620
 friends like

00:12:23.620 --> 00:12:25.079
 this they're

00:12:25.079 --> 00:12:26.679
 friends but

00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:27.979
 they're also

00:12:27.979 --> 00:12:28.759
 keen to

00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:29.359
 please me

00:12:29.359 --> 00:12:31.199
 so when I

00:12:31.199 --> 00:12:31.579
 ask for

00:12:31.579 --> 00:12:32.239
 advice they

00:12:32.239 --> 00:12:32.739
 will always

00:12:32.739 --> 00:12:33.339
 tell me what

00:12:33.339 --> 00:12:33.919
 they think I

00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:34.559
 want to hear

00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:35.879
 you know what

00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:36.299
 I mean when I

00:12:36.299 --> 00:12:37.239
 say people

00:12:37.239 --> 00:12:37.839
 pleasers

00:12:37.839 --> 00:12:39.359
 they're people

00:12:39.359 --> 00:12:41.159
 pleasers and

00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:41.859
 actually I don't

00:12:41.859 --> 00:12:42.579
 need that kind

00:12:42.579 --> 00:12:43.439
 of advice I

00:12:43.439 --> 00:12:44.339
 don't need people

00:12:44.339 --> 00:12:45.120
 just to agree

00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:46.039
 with me although

00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:46.839
 my wife thinks

00:12:46.839 --> 00:12:47.259
 I do

00:12:47.259 --> 00:12:51.860
 I need people

00:12:51.860 --> 00:12:52.240
 who will

00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:52.779
 challenge you

00:12:52.779 --> 00:12:53.460
 I used to

00:12:53.460 --> 00:12:54.659
 constantly say

00:12:54.659 --> 00:12:55.939
 to my senior

00:12:55.939 --> 00:12:56.939
 management team

00:12:56.939 --> 00:12:57.600
 when I was

00:12:57.600 --> 00:12:58.759
 in Bristol

00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:00.220
 just because I

00:13:00.220 --> 00:13:00.960
 think something

00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:01.559
 doesn't mean

00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:02.159
 it's right

00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:04.580
 but show me

00:13:04.580 --> 00:13:05.120
 I'm wrong

00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:10.480
 so you need

00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:11.100
 a very

00:13:11.100 --> 00:13:12.299
 particular kind

00:13:12.299 --> 00:13:13.080
 of Christian

00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:13.539
 friend

00:13:13.539 --> 00:13:15.700
 and it's the

00:13:15.700 --> 00:13:16.399
 kind of friend

00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:17.200
 who loves you

00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:18.500
 enough to

00:13:18.500 --> 00:13:19.020
 tell you the

00:13:19.020 --> 00:13:19.360
 truth

00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:21.840
 and they

00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:22.220
 don't grow

00:13:22.220 --> 00:13:22.759
 on trees

00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:23.180
 in my

00:13:23.180 --> 00:13:23.560
 opinion

00:13:23.560 --> 00:13:26.259
 and we

00:13:26.259 --> 00:13:26.940
 can be a

00:13:26.940 --> 00:13:27.700
 little frustrated

00:13:27.700 --> 00:13:28.200
 by them

00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:28.860
 because they

00:13:28.860 --> 00:13:29.700
 don't tell us

00:13:29.700 --> 00:13:30.379
 what we want

00:13:30.379 --> 00:13:31.280
 to hear

00:13:31.280 --> 00:13:33.759
 and I will

00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:34.340
 say this I

00:13:34.340 --> 00:13:35.080
 remember I

00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:36.420
 mentioned it

00:13:36.420 --> 00:13:36.960
 once I won't

00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:37.259
 tell you it's

00:13:37.259 --> 00:13:38.060
 in entirety but

00:13:38.060 --> 00:13:38.540
 when Jackie

00:13:38.540 --> 00:13:40.520
 Pullinger told

00:13:40.520 --> 00:13:41.040
 her mum and

00:13:41.040 --> 00:13:41.720
 dad before

00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:43.420
 she went to

00:13:43.420 --> 00:13:44.040
 university

00:13:44.040 --> 00:13:45.060
 God's told

00:13:45.060 --> 00:13:45.500
 me to get

00:13:45.500 --> 00:13:46.040
 on a boat

00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.799
 they thought

00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:51.059
 the parents

00:13:51.059 --> 00:13:51.539
 thought the

00:13:51.539 --> 00:13:52.240
 best way to

00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:52.740
 bring this

00:13:52.740 --> 00:13:53.339
 to an end

00:13:53.339 --> 00:13:54.439
 is to get

00:13:54.439 --> 00:13:54.860
 her to go

00:13:54.860 --> 00:13:55.240
 and see the

00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:55.879
 local vicar

00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:56.360
 he's bound

00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:56.919
 to Scotch

00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:57.120
 it

00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:58.379
 so they

00:13:58.379 --> 00:13:58.959
 sent him to

00:13:58.959 --> 00:13:59.459
 see old

00:13:59.459 --> 00:14:00.099
 Colin Ford

00:14:00.099 --> 00:14:00.559
 in West

00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:01.039
 Croydon

00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:02.259
 Colin Ford

00:14:02.259 --> 00:14:02.679
 is a great

00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:02.899
 guy

00:14:02.899 --> 00:14:03.240
 he's all a

00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:03.659
 bit cool

00:14:03.659 --> 00:14:04.219
 blimey

00:14:04.219 --> 00:14:05.899
 and so

00:14:05.899 --> 00:14:07.759
 she goes

00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:08.179
 in to see

00:14:08.179 --> 00:14:08.339
 him and

00:14:08.339 --> 00:14:08.620
 she says

00:14:08.620 --> 00:14:09.139
 God's told

00:14:09.139 --> 00:14:09.579
 me to get

00:14:09.579 --> 00:14:10.059
 on a boat

00:14:10.059 --> 00:14:11.819
 well sweetheart

00:14:11.819 --> 00:14:12.360
 he said

00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:13.059
 if God's told

00:14:13.059 --> 00:14:13.339
 you to get

00:14:13.339 --> 00:14:13.799
 on a boat

00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:14.240
 you better

00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:14.539
 blooming

00:14:14.539 --> 00:14:15.039
 well get

00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:15.479
 on one

00:14:15.479 --> 00:14:17.339
 parents left

00:14:17.339 --> 00:14:17.899
 the church

00:14:17.899 --> 00:14:18.979
 stopped their

00:14:18.979 --> 00:14:19.379
 tithe

00:14:19.379 --> 00:14:24.139
 see

00:14:24.139 --> 00:14:25.799
 sometimes

00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:26.819
 God's word

00:14:26.819 --> 00:14:27.419
 to us

00:14:27.419 --> 00:14:28.719
 is not

00:14:28.719 --> 00:14:29.059
 what we

00:14:29.059 --> 00:14:29.379
 want to

00:14:29.379 --> 00:14:29.679
 hear

00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.059
 in fact

00:14:32.059 --> 00:14:32.919
 I would

00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:33.919
 encourage you

00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:35.179
 when somebody

00:14:35.179 --> 00:14:36.179
 speaks to you

00:14:36.179 --> 00:14:36.679
 it's somebody

00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:37.240
 you trust

00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:37.740
 and somebody

00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:38.319
 who loves you

00:14:38.319 --> 00:14:39.019
 enough to tell

00:14:39.019 --> 00:14:39.419
 you the truth

00:14:39.419 --> 00:14:40.399
 speaks to you

00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:41.179
 in a way

00:14:41.179 --> 00:14:41.759
 that you don't

00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:42.419
 want to hear

00:14:42.419 --> 00:14:43.360
 I would

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:44.120
 double check

00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:45.079
 treble check

00:14:45.079 --> 00:14:46.059
 whether or not

00:14:46.059 --> 00:14:46.599
 this is the

00:14:46.599 --> 00:14:47.079
 right thing

00:14:47.079 --> 00:14:47.639
 rather than

00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:48.279
 reject it

00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:48.879
 straight away

00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:49.479
 because it's

00:14:49.479 --> 00:14:49.959
 not what I

00:14:49.959 --> 00:14:50.500
 want to hear

00:14:50.500 --> 00:14:54.799
 I think

00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:56.339
 Rehoboam's a

00:14:56.339 --> 00:14:56.819
 pretty good

00:14:56.819 --> 00:14:57.559
 example of

00:14:57.559 --> 00:14:57.879
 what I'm

00:14:57.879 --> 00:14:58.599
 talking about

00:14:58.599 --> 00:14:59.000
 do you

00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:01.379
 the elders

00:15:01.379 --> 00:15:02.819
 say to him

00:15:02.819 --> 00:15:03.779
 lighten the

00:15:03.779 --> 00:15:04.399
 yoke of these

00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:05.159
 poor people

00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:06.240
 you're killing

00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:06.519
 them

00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:08.159
 so he goes

00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:09.539
 to the

00:15:09.539 --> 00:15:10.039
 youngsters

00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:11.079
 the ones

00:15:11.079 --> 00:15:11.860
 whose lifestyle

00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:12.459
 probably will

00:15:12.459 --> 00:15:13.399
 be undermined

00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:13.759
 if they

00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:14.319
 lighten the

00:15:14.319 --> 00:15:14.819
 yoke and

00:15:14.819 --> 00:15:15.259
 lower the

00:15:15.259 --> 00:15:15.839
 taxation

00:15:15.839 --> 00:15:17.219
 etc etc

00:15:17.219 --> 00:15:21.259
 and he

00:15:21.259 --> 00:15:21.839
 says you

00:15:21.839 --> 00:15:22.120
 know that

00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:22.659
 terrible

00:15:22.659 --> 00:15:23.559
 thing

00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:24.959
 I'm not

00:15:24.959 --> 00:15:25.620
 going to

00:15:25.620 --> 00:15:26.299
 go down

00:15:26.299 --> 00:15:27.279
 Russ's

00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:28.639
 line and

00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:29.240
 explain to

00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:29.399
 you the

00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:30.219
 particular part

00:15:30.219 --> 00:15:30.459
 of the

00:15:30.459 --> 00:15:30.899
 anatomy

00:15:30.899 --> 00:15:31.559
 the Hebrew

00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:32.539
 refers to

00:15:32.539 --> 00:15:34.099
 but let's

00:15:34.099 --> 00:15:34.500
 just say

00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:35.099
 it's rude

00:15:35.099 --> 00:15:35.740
 what he

00:15:35.740 --> 00:15:36.139
 says

00:15:36.139 --> 00:15:38.860
 English

00:15:38.860 --> 00:15:39.360
 Bibles

00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:39.820
 say

00:15:39.820 --> 00:15:41.560
 his finger

00:15:41.560 --> 00:15:42.240
 is thicker

00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:42.659
 than

00:15:42.659 --> 00:15:44.180
 you know

00:15:44.180 --> 00:15:45.060
 Solomon's

00:15:45.060 --> 00:15:45.740
 waist

00:15:45.740 --> 00:15:48.340
 work it

00:15:48.340 --> 00:15:48.659
 out

00:15:48.659 --> 00:15:52.940
 look

00:15:52.940 --> 00:15:54.620
 we need

00:15:54.620 --> 00:15:55.060
 people

00:15:55.060 --> 00:15:55.700
 who will

00:15:55.700 --> 00:15:56.060
 give us

00:15:56.060 --> 00:15:57.060
 wise advice

00:15:57.060 --> 00:15:58.600
 and if

00:15:58.600 --> 00:15:58.940
 we're going

00:15:58.940 --> 00:15:59.320
 to grow

00:15:59.320 --> 00:15:59.940
 older and

00:15:59.940 --> 00:16:00.720
 grow wiser

00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:01.340
 then we

00:16:01.340 --> 00:16:01.860
 need to

00:16:01.860 --> 00:16:02.279
 really be

00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:02.680
 in touch

00:16:02.680 --> 00:16:03.019
 with these

00:16:03.019 --> 00:16:03.420
 people

00:16:03.419 --> 00:16:06.839
 and some

00:16:06.839 --> 00:16:07.159
 of you

00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:08.360
 inhabit this

00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:09.139
 congregation

00:16:09.139 --> 00:16:11.759
 some of you

00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:12.219
 are wise

00:16:12.219 --> 00:16:13.079
 people and

00:16:13.079 --> 00:16:14.699
 I hope that

00:16:14.699 --> 00:16:15.459
 those people

00:16:15.459 --> 00:16:15.839
 have been

00:16:15.839 --> 00:16:17.620
 you know if

00:16:17.620 --> 00:16:17.979
 you've been a

00:16:17.979 --> 00:16:18.719
 Christian for a

00:16:18.719 --> 00:16:19.459
 while and

00:16:19.459 --> 00:16:20.419
 you have a

00:16:20.419 --> 00:16:21.120
 residue

00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:22.039
 wisdom in

00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:22.740
 your life

00:16:22.740 --> 00:16:24.259
 you are a

00:16:24.259 --> 00:16:24.819
 resource

00:16:24.819 --> 00:16:26.819
 you know you

00:16:26.819 --> 00:16:27.120
 need to

00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:27.719
 encourage

00:16:27.719 --> 00:16:29.539
 those of us

00:16:29.539 --> 00:16:29.759
 who are

00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:30.379
 struggling with

00:16:30.379 --> 00:16:30.879
 decisions

00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:31.480
 those of us

00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:31.720
 who are

00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:32.100
 younger

00:16:32.100 --> 00:16:33.320
 incidentally

00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:33.700
 I've said

00:16:33.700 --> 00:16:34.139
 this to you

00:16:34.139 --> 00:16:34.600
 before but

00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:35.139
 don't forget

00:16:35.139 --> 00:16:36.500
 growing older

00:16:36.500 --> 00:16:37.000
 in itself

00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:37.539
 doesn't make

00:16:37.539 --> 00:16:38.080
 you wiser

00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:39.200
 okay

00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:40.460
 some of the

00:16:40.460 --> 00:16:41.019
 most childish

00:16:41.019 --> 00:16:41.600
 people I

00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:41.920
 know are

00:16:41.920 --> 00:16:42.480
 my age

00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:46.180
 just the

00:16:46.180 --> 00:16:46.519
 act of

00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:46.980
 growing older

00:16:46.980 --> 00:16:47.460
 doesn't make

00:16:47.460 --> 00:16:47.800
 you grow

00:16:47.800 --> 00:16:48.100
 wiser

00:16:48.100 --> 00:16:48.379
 you can

00:16:48.379 --> 00:16:49.039
 become more

00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:49.500
 foolish

00:16:49.500 --> 00:16:52.059
 like you

00:16:52.059 --> 00:16:52.299
 know you

00:16:52.299 --> 00:16:52.639
 can go and

00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:53.179
 cash in your

00:16:53.179 --> 00:16:53.779
 pension or

00:16:53.779 --> 00:16:54.320
 something to

00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:55.600
 go and buy

00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:56.360
 a Range Rover

00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:56.820
 whatever

00:16:56.820 --> 00:17:00.220
 the fourth

00:17:00.220 --> 00:17:01.080
 way is

00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:02.200
 what I call

00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:03.159
 closed doors

00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:04.079
 and open

00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:04.559
 doors

00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:05.279
 in Acts

00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:06.099
 chapter 16

00:17:06.099 --> 00:17:06.900
 and I'm not

00:17:06.900 --> 00:17:07.700
 quite sure what

00:17:07.700 --> 00:17:08.480
 St. Paul meant

00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:09.700
 here but he

00:17:09.700 --> 00:17:10.380
 refers to a

00:17:10.380 --> 00:17:11.140
 situation where

00:17:11.140 --> 00:17:12.019
 he says we

00:17:12.019 --> 00:17:12.940
 wanted to go to

00:17:12.940 --> 00:17:14.900
 Bithynia but

00:17:14.900 --> 00:17:15.759
 the Holy Spirit

00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:16.420
 wouldn't allow

00:17:16.420 --> 00:17:16.720
 us

00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:18.599
 I call that a

00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:19.299
 closed door

00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:22.419
 and in my

00:17:22.419 --> 00:17:23.099
 life I've

00:17:23.099 --> 00:17:23.579
 tried to

00:17:23.579 --> 00:17:24.519
 let me say

00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:25.779
 I have got

00:17:25.779 --> 00:17:26.859
 guidance wrong

00:17:26.859 --> 00:17:27.299
 you know I'm

00:17:27.299 --> 00:17:28.159
 not speaking to

00:17:28.159 --> 00:17:28.480
 you as some

00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:29.159
 kind of expert

00:17:29.159 --> 00:17:29.940
 I've got it

00:17:29.940 --> 00:17:30.180
 wrong

00:17:30.180 --> 00:17:31.559
 I think

00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:33.079
 on reflection

00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:34.180
 I should never

00:17:34.180 --> 00:17:34.819
 have said yes

00:17:34.819 --> 00:17:35.480
 to becoming a

00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:35.720
 bishop

00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:37.220
 right I

00:17:37.220 --> 00:17:37.779
 think I may

00:17:37.779 --> 00:17:38.079
 have been

00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:38.740
 seduced

00:17:38.740 --> 00:17:40.759
 by the very

00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:42.180
 thought that

00:17:42.180 --> 00:17:42.980
 somebody who

00:17:42.980 --> 00:17:43.919
 is such a

00:17:43.919 --> 00:17:45.319
 regenerate sinner

00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:46.000
 as I was

00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:46.639
 should take up

00:17:46.639 --> 00:17:47.099
 that role

00:17:47.099 --> 00:17:48.279
 I loved being

00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:49.079
 an archdeacon

00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:49.779
 I know

00:17:49.779 --> 00:17:50.279
 weird

00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.039
 but I never

00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:54.099
 thought I was

00:17:54.099 --> 00:17:54.419
 the right

00:17:54.419 --> 00:17:55.039
 material to

00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:55.599
 be a bishop

00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:57.619
 I didn't

00:17:57.619 --> 00:17:58.159
 take enough

00:17:58.159 --> 00:17:58.740
 advice

00:17:58.740 --> 00:17:59.079
 I didn't

00:17:59.079 --> 00:17:59.599
 take enough

00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:00.119
 counsel

00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:04.460
 but I'd

00:18:04.460 --> 00:18:05.079
 always worked

00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:05.779
 on the basis

00:18:05.779 --> 00:18:06.779
 if the door

00:18:06.779 --> 00:18:07.599
 opens walk

00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:08.019
 through it

00:18:08.019 --> 00:18:08.720
 if it shuts

00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:09.139
 God will

00:18:09.139 --> 00:18:09.699
 open another

00:18:09.699 --> 00:18:10.559
 door for you

00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:11.419
 I think that's

00:18:11.419 --> 00:18:11.839
 a good way

00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:12.319
 to think

00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:13.199
 it stops you

00:18:13.199 --> 00:18:13.980
 getting depressed

00:18:13.980 --> 00:18:15.500
 when something

00:18:15.500 --> 00:18:16.119
 doesn't work

00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:16.619
 out in your

00:18:16.619 --> 00:18:17.019
 life

00:18:17.019 --> 00:18:20.139
 I think it's

00:18:20.139 --> 00:18:20.619
 a viable

00:18:20.619 --> 00:18:20.920
 way

00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:21.240
 you know

00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:22.039
 if there's

00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:22.839
 an opportunity

00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:24.059
 push on the

00:18:24.059 --> 00:18:24.359
 door

00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:25.299
 see what

00:18:25.299 --> 00:18:25.900
 happens

00:18:25.900 --> 00:18:27.259
 and maybe

00:18:27.259 --> 00:18:27.779
 you will

00:18:27.779 --> 00:18:28.319
 find your

00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:29.160
 true north

00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:29.980
 if you walk

00:18:29.980 --> 00:18:30.440
 through that

00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:30.779
 door

00:18:30.779 --> 00:18:32.639
 if it shuts

00:18:32.639 --> 00:18:33.660
 God will

00:18:33.660 --> 00:18:34.420
 open another

00:18:34.420 --> 00:18:35.279
 door of

00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:36.000
 opportunity

00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:37.279
 for you

00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:38.420
 and the

00:18:38.420 --> 00:18:38.960
 fifth thing

00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:39.940
 is what I

00:18:39.940 --> 00:18:40.619
 call close

00:18:40.619 --> 00:18:41.200
 encounters

00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:41.980
 of a weird

00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:42.480
 kind

00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:44.720
 that is

00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:45.880
 and a wise

00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:46.360
 preacher

00:18:46.360 --> 00:18:47.420
 once told

00:18:47.420 --> 00:18:48.059
 me that

00:18:48.059 --> 00:18:49.080
 God uses

00:18:49.080 --> 00:18:49.860
 weird stuff

00:18:49.860 --> 00:18:50.380
 to guide

00:18:50.380 --> 00:18:50.940
 you when

00:18:50.940 --> 00:18:51.279
 you've been

00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:51.819
 deaf to the

00:18:51.819 --> 00:18:52.440
 other four

00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:54.340
 areas

00:18:54.340 --> 00:18:55.819
 so what's

00:18:55.819 --> 00:18:56.319
 weird stuff

00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:56.960
 it could be

00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:57.940
 God speaks

00:18:57.940 --> 00:18:58.519
 to you clearly

00:18:58.519 --> 00:18:59.080
 in a dream

00:18:59.080 --> 00:19:00.559
 you know the

00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:01.240
 fact that

00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:02.779
 Gentiles in

00:19:02.779 --> 00:19:03.200
 the early

00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:03.720
 church were

00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:04.460
 included in

00:19:04.460 --> 00:19:04.860
 the church

00:19:04.860 --> 00:19:05.420
 came off the

00:19:05.420 --> 00:19:05.880
 back of a

00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:06.360
 dream that

00:19:06.360 --> 00:19:07.039
 Peter had

00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:08.620
 where he had

00:19:08.620 --> 00:19:09.160
 this weird

00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:10.100
 vision of

00:19:10.099 --> 00:19:10.719
 every kind

00:19:10.719 --> 00:19:11.299
 of animal

00:19:11.299 --> 00:19:13.099
 in a sheet

00:19:13.099 --> 00:19:13.539
 I mean

00:19:13.539 --> 00:19:14.019
 you know

00:19:14.019 --> 00:19:15.039
 obviously

00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:15.379
 he needs

00:19:15.379 --> 00:19:15.879
 a therapist

00:19:15.879 --> 00:19:16.319
 but

00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:20.779
 Peter was

00:19:20.779 --> 00:19:21.240
 convicted

00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:21.779
 God had

00:19:21.779 --> 00:19:22.139
 said to

00:19:22.139 --> 00:19:22.279
 him

00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:23.419
 this new

00:19:23.419 --> 00:19:24.079
 gospel is

00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:24.519
 not just

00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:25.039
 for Jewish

00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:25.480
 people

00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:26.240
 it's for

00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:26.879
 Gentiles

00:19:26.879 --> 00:19:27.399
 it's for

00:19:27.399 --> 00:19:27.980
 people like

00:19:27.980 --> 00:19:28.179
 you

00:19:28.179 --> 00:19:28.679
 someone say

00:19:28.679 --> 00:19:29.099
 amen

00:19:29.099 --> 00:19:31.899
 oh right

00:19:31.899 --> 00:19:36.219
 so let

00:19:36.219 --> 00:19:36.899
 me recap

00:19:36.899 --> 00:19:37.339
 for a moment

00:19:37.339 --> 00:19:37.980
 five ways

00:19:37.980 --> 00:19:38.519
 the Bible

00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:40.039
 one

00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:40.960
 two

00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:41.700
 praying

00:19:41.700 --> 00:19:43.139
 three

00:19:43.139 --> 00:19:44.099
 Christian

00:19:44.099 --> 00:19:44.500
 friends

00:19:44.500 --> 00:19:44.839
 who love

00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:45.200
 us enough

00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:45.579
 to tell

00:19:45.579 --> 00:19:45.859
 us the

00:19:45.859 --> 00:19:46.079
 truth

00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:46.659
 four

00:19:46.659 --> 00:19:47.659
 closed

00:19:47.659 --> 00:19:47.960
 doors

00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:48.279
 open

00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:48.579
 doors

00:19:48.579 --> 00:19:49.279
 five

00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:50.680
 weird

00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:51.099
 stuff

00:19:51.099 --> 00:19:54.420
 and then

00:19:54.420 --> 00:19:54.859
 somebody

00:19:54.859 --> 00:19:55.500
 told me

00:19:55.500 --> 00:19:57.440
 that if

00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:57.740
 you're the

00:19:57.740 --> 00:19:58.440
 pilot of a

00:19:58.440 --> 00:19:58.960
 ship in the

00:19:58.960 --> 00:19:59.639
 Mediterranean

00:19:59.639 --> 00:20:01.859
 and you

00:20:01.859 --> 00:20:02.299
 want to get

00:20:02.299 --> 00:20:03.059
 into the

00:20:03.059 --> 00:20:03.799
 harbour at

00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:04.379
 Naples

00:20:04.379 --> 00:20:05.859
 if you're the

00:20:05.859 --> 00:20:06.559
 pilot what you

00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:07.039
 have to do

00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:07.399
 is you have

00:20:07.399 --> 00:20:08.019
 to line up

00:20:08.019 --> 00:20:08.960
 five lights

00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:09.759
 in front of

00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:10.000
 you

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:12.740
 fix your

00:20:12.740 --> 00:20:13.640
 position and

00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:14.299
 you can sail

00:20:14.299 --> 00:20:15.079
 straight ahead

00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:15.619
 into the

00:20:15.619 --> 00:20:16.039
 harbour

00:20:16.039 --> 00:20:18.900
 and nobody's

00:20:18.900 --> 00:20:19.440
 ever said to

00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:20.259
 me so line up

00:20:20.259 --> 00:20:20.960
 all five

00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:21.720
 aspects of

00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:22.240
 this verse

00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:22.680
 but what they

00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:23.500
 did say was

00:20:23.500 --> 00:20:24.579
 don't just

00:20:24.579 --> 00:20:25.579
 go on one

00:20:25.579 --> 00:20:27.740
 line up more

00:20:27.740 --> 00:20:28.379
 than one of

00:20:28.379 --> 00:20:29.079
 those five

00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:30.299
 in order to

00:20:30.299 --> 00:20:30.740
 proceed

00:20:30.740 --> 00:20:31.960
 and hopefully

00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:33.000
 discover

00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:33.920
 God's will

00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:34.900
 and you can

00:20:34.900 --> 00:20:35.980
 still make

00:20:35.980 --> 00:20:36.640
 mistakes

00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:38.200
 I've

00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:38.380
 just

00:20:38.380 --> 00:20:38.980
 admitted to

00:20:38.980 --> 00:20:39.140
 one

00:20:39.140 --> 00:20:39.500
 it's not

00:20:39.500 --> 00:20:39.880
 the only

00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:40.180
 one

00:20:40.180 --> 00:20:40.420
 you know

00:20:40.420 --> 00:20:40.740
 I could

00:20:40.740 --> 00:20:41.140
 keep you

00:20:41.140 --> 00:20:41.460
 here till

00:20:41.460 --> 00:20:42.060
 lunchtime

00:20:42.060 --> 00:20:45.820
 it's not

00:20:45.820 --> 00:20:46.740
 the easiest

00:20:46.740 --> 00:20:47.600
 assignment

00:20:47.600 --> 00:20:48.720
 knowing what

00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:49.320
 God's will

00:20:49.320 --> 00:20:50.259
 is for you

00:20:50.259 --> 00:20:53.000
 but

00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:53.840
 and to

00:20:53.840 --> 00:20:54.200
 close

00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:54.560
 what I

00:20:54.560 --> 00:20:54.840
 want to

00:20:54.840 --> 00:20:55.400
 say is

00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:56.800
 on this

00:20:56.800 --> 00:20:57.660
 front is

00:20:57.660 --> 00:20:58.000
 that

00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:59.440
 when you

00:20:59.440 --> 00:20:59.980
 do make

00:20:59.980 --> 00:21:00.660
 a mistake

00:21:00.660 --> 00:21:02.220
 I think

00:21:02.220 --> 00:21:02.840
 God can

00:21:02.840 --> 00:21:03.400
 kind of

00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:03.960
 re

00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:05.220
 you know

00:21:05.220 --> 00:21:05.740
 accommodate

00:21:05.740 --> 00:21:06.220
 that

00:21:06.220 --> 00:21:07.840
 and you

00:21:07.840 --> 00:21:08.160
 can get

00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:08.840
 beyond it

00:21:08.840 --> 00:21:09.340
 I'll come

00:21:09.340 --> 00:21:09.779
 back to

00:21:09.779 --> 00:21:09.960
 that

00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:10.700
 the second

00:21:10.700 --> 00:21:11.160
 thing is

00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:11.640
 and I've

00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:12.080
 talked enough

00:21:12.080 --> 00:21:12.540
 about it

00:21:12.540 --> 00:21:12.759
 so I'm

00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:12.980
 not going

00:21:12.980 --> 00:21:13.300
 to talk

00:21:13.300 --> 00:21:13.920
 to you

00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:14.700
 too much

00:21:14.700 --> 00:21:14.980
 more

00:21:14.980 --> 00:21:15.220
 but

00:21:15.220 --> 00:21:18.240
 we listen

00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:18.560
 to God

00:21:18.560 --> 00:21:19.100
 we listen

00:21:19.100 --> 00:21:19.779
 to the

00:21:19.779 --> 00:21:20.700
 wise advice

00:21:20.700 --> 00:21:21.300
 of godly

00:21:21.300 --> 00:21:21.860
 friends

00:21:21.860 --> 00:21:23.620
 choose some

00:21:23.620 --> 00:21:24.160
 friends who

00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:24.540
 love you

00:21:24.540 --> 00:21:25.320
 enough to

00:21:25.320 --> 00:21:25.720
 tell you

00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:26.300
 the truth

00:21:26.300 --> 00:21:27.580
 and look

00:21:27.580 --> 00:21:27.940
 for the

00:21:27.940 --> 00:21:28.240
 man

00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:29.040
 woman of

00:21:29.040 --> 00:21:29.320
 God

00:21:29.320 --> 00:21:30.100
 and consult

00:21:30.100 --> 00:21:30.580
 with them

00:21:30.579 --> 00:21:32.399
 see when

00:21:32.399 --> 00:21:32.839
 I got the

00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:33.259
 offer of

00:21:33.259 --> 00:21:33.819
 becoming an

00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:34.319
 archdeacon

00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:34.720
 out of

00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:34.980
 the blue

00:21:34.980 --> 00:21:35.240
 I didn't

00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:35.559
 even know

00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:35.839
 what the

00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:36.379
 job was

00:21:36.379 --> 00:21:36.659
 to be

00:21:36.659 --> 00:21:37.019
 honest

00:21:37.019 --> 00:21:37.899
 so I

00:21:37.899 --> 00:21:38.339
 went to

00:21:38.339 --> 00:21:38.819
 see a

00:21:38.819 --> 00:21:39.339
 man I

00:21:39.339 --> 00:21:39.799
 know to

00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:40.460
 be godly

00:21:40.460 --> 00:21:40.939
 and who

00:21:40.939 --> 00:21:41.419
 would speak

00:21:41.419 --> 00:21:41.859
 the truth

00:21:41.859 --> 00:21:42.899
 lovingly to

00:21:42.899 --> 00:21:43.179
 me

00:21:43.179 --> 00:21:44.960
 I went

00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:45.559
 to see him

00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:46.439
 in London

00:21:46.439 --> 00:21:46.919
 he was the

00:21:46.919 --> 00:21:47.639
 archdeacon of

00:21:47.639 --> 00:21:48.259
 London at

00:21:48.259 --> 00:21:48.779
 the time

00:21:48.779 --> 00:21:50.259
 I went to

00:21:50.259 --> 00:21:50.579
 see him

00:21:50.579 --> 00:21:51.039
 I said I

00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:51.379
 got this

00:21:51.379 --> 00:21:51.919
 letter out

00:21:51.919 --> 00:21:52.339

 first thing

00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:53.699
 that happened

00:21:53.699 --> 00:21:54.539
 is he had

00:21:54.539 --> 00:21:55.119
 a horrific

00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:56.079
 nosebleed all

00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:56.460
 over my

00:21:56.460 --> 00:21:57.319

00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:01.539
 that mean

00:22:01.539 --> 00:22:03.240

 thing is this

00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:04.160
 is what he

00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:04.500
 said

00:22:04.500 --> 00:22:06.440
 he said I

00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:07.299
 feel constrained

00:22:07.299 --> 00:22:07.920
 to say to

00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:08.400
 you Mike

00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:09.720
 unless you

00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:10.379
 can think of a

00:22:10.379 --> 00:22:10.980
 great reason

00:22:10.980 --> 00:22:11.740
 for not doing

00:22:11.740 --> 00:22:12.400
 this you

00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:13.059
 better go and

00:22:13.059 --> 00:22:13.920
 do it

00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:16.619
 that was it

00:22:16.619 --> 00:22:17.779
 I thought he's

00:22:17.779 --> 00:22:18.099
 right

00:22:18.099 --> 00:22:19.559
 I tried to

00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:20.000
 think of a

00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:20.599
 great reason

00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:21.940
 and I

00:22:21.940 --> 00:22:23.099
 couldn't

00:22:23.099 --> 00:22:24.480
 and do you

00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:25.059
 know what I

00:22:25.059 --> 00:22:25.680
 felt I made

00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:26.619
 far more of a

00:22:26.619 --> 00:22:27.460
 difference in that

00:22:27.460 --> 00:22:28.019
 role than I

00:22:28.019 --> 00:22:28.759
 ever did as a

00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:29.000
 mission

00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:34.619
 so you can

00:22:34.619 --> 00:22:35.440
 still get it

00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:35.720
 wrong

00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:37.980
 but if you're a

00:22:37.980 --> 00:22:38.740
 healthy Christian

00:22:38.740 --> 00:22:39.579
 your earnest

00:22:39.579 --> 00:22:41.059
 desire will be

00:22:41.059 --> 00:22:42.140
 to do what

00:22:42.140 --> 00:22:43.420
 God wants for

00:22:43.420 --> 00:22:44.480
 you in your

00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:45.019
 life

00:22:45.019 --> 00:22:50.319
 and of course

00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:52.200
 if you have

00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:53.079
 discerned what

00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:53.879
 God wants

00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:55.360
 then you

00:22:55.360 --> 00:22:56.100
 better go

00:22:56.100 --> 00:22:57.880
 and do it

00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:02.240
 there can't

00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:03.080
 be anything

00:23:03.080 --> 00:23:04.320
 more messing

00:23:04.320 --> 00:23:05.020
 up in your

00:23:05.020 --> 00:23:06.140
 spiritual life

00:23:06.140 --> 00:23:07.700
 that when you

00:23:07.700 --> 00:23:09.120
 discern something

00:23:09.120 --> 00:23:11.040
 and you decide

00:23:11.040 --> 00:23:12.200
 to just not

00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:12.880
 go ahead with

00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:13.120
 it

00:23:13.120 --> 00:23:15.700
 men came to

00:23:15.700 --> 00:23:16.220
 see me

00:23:16.220 --> 00:23:17.060
 who was

00:23:17.060 --> 00:23:17.820
 retiring

00:23:17.820 --> 00:23:18.460
 as a man

00:23:18.460 --> 00:23:18.940
 who said

00:23:18.940 --> 00:23:19.780
 an amazing

00:23:19.780 --> 00:23:21.060
 life at the

00:23:21.060 --> 00:23:21.660
 centre of

00:23:21.660 --> 00:23:22.120
 kind of

00:23:22.120 --> 00:23:23.780
 civic society

00:23:23.779 --> 00:23:24.599
 in Bristol

00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:26.660
 and he

00:23:26.660 --> 00:23:27.220
 came to me

00:23:27.220 --> 00:23:27.619
 and he

00:23:27.619 --> 00:23:28.180
 said

00:23:28.180 --> 00:23:29.359
 oh you

00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:29.899
 know what

00:23:29.899 --> 00:23:30.460
 I said

00:23:30.460 --> 00:23:30.779
 what

00:23:30.779 --> 00:23:32.160
 he said

00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:33.139
 I've worked

00:23:33.139 --> 00:23:34.000
 for 40

00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:34.539
 years of

00:23:34.539 --> 00:23:35.180
 my life

00:23:35.180 --> 00:23:37.240
 he said

00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:37.759
 the people

00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:38.660
 who you

00:23:38.660 --> 00:23:39.059
 know I

00:23:39.059 --> 00:23:39.519
 talked to

00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:40.099
 tell me I've

00:23:40.099 --> 00:23:40.440
 made a

00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:40.819
 difference

00:23:40.819 --> 00:23:41.200
 he said

00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:41.539
 I have

00:23:41.539 --> 00:23:42.039
 never ever

00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:42.899
 felt fulfilled

00:23:42.899 --> 00:23:44.879
 because when

00:23:44.879 --> 00:23:45.559
 I was 25

00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:46.339
 I felt God

00:23:46.339 --> 00:23:46.920
 call me to

00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:47.519
 ordination

00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:47.940
 and I

00:23:47.940 --> 00:23:48.359
 turned my

00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:48.819
 back on

00:23:48.819 --> 00:23:49.119
 that

00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:50.720
 he said

00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:51.480
 people say

00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:51.799
 to me

00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:52.519
 you would

00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:52.879
 have never

00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:53.600
 had as much

00:23:53.600 --> 00:23:54.300
 influence as

00:23:54.300 --> 00:23:54.680
 that as

00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:55.120
 a vicar

00:23:55.120 --> 00:24:01.520
 it would

00:24:01.520 --> 00:24:01.960
 probably be

00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:02.780
 my experience

00:24:02.780 --> 00:24:03.180
 actually

00:24:03.180 --> 00:24:03.500
 but

00:24:03.500 --> 00:24:05.280
 it's

00:24:05.280 --> 00:24:05.680
 interesting

00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:06.260
 he sat

00:24:06.260 --> 00:24:06.860
 there saying

00:24:06.860 --> 00:24:07.140
 that

00:24:07.140 --> 00:24:08.220
 I sat

00:24:08.220 --> 00:24:08.640
 there saying

00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:08.960
 you know

00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:09.260
 what

00:24:09.260 --> 00:24:10.320
 I said

00:24:10.320 --> 00:24:10.760
 yes to

00:24:10.760 --> 00:24:11.400
 being ordained

00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:11.700
 and I

00:24:11.700 --> 00:24:12.180
 wonder whether

00:24:12.180 --> 00:24:12.540
 I ever

00:24:12.540 --> 00:24:13.000
 should have

00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:14.120
 like you're

00:24:14.120 --> 00:24:14.440
 wondering

00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:14.860
 now

00:24:14.859 --> 00:24:21.059
 God

00:24:21.059 --> 00:24:21.359
 God kind

00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:22.099
 of weaves

00:24:22.099 --> 00:24:23.139
 you know

00:24:23.139 --> 00:24:23.939
 your mistakes

00:24:23.939 --> 00:24:24.719
 into a pattern

00:24:24.719 --> 00:24:25.759
 so let me

00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:26.339
 just tell you

00:24:26.339 --> 00:24:26.659
 the most

00:24:26.659 --> 00:24:27.679
 wonderful story

00:24:27.679 --> 00:24:28.379
 to close

00:24:28.379 --> 00:24:30.179
 of a thing

00:24:30.179 --> 00:24:30.599
 that went

00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:31.679
 horrendously

00:24:31.679 --> 00:24:32.139
 wrong

00:24:32.139 --> 00:24:32.899
 and God

00:24:32.899 --> 00:24:33.339
 did an

00:24:33.339 --> 00:24:34.119
 amazing thing

00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:34.539
 through it

00:24:34.539 --> 00:24:35.000
 so the

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:35.439
 vicar of

00:24:35.439 --> 00:24:36.199
 Loudwater

00:24:36.199 --> 00:24:36.839
 in

00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:37.659
 Buckinghamshire

00:24:37.659 --> 00:24:39.379
 decided

00:24:39.379 --> 00:24:40.240
 under God

00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:40.919
 that he

00:24:40.919 --> 00:24:41.579
 and his

00:24:41.579 --> 00:24:42.019
 church

00:24:42.019 --> 00:24:42.299
 would

00:24:42.299 --> 00:24:43.039
 circulate

00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:43.680
 the Jesus

00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:44.220
 video

00:24:44.220 --> 00:24:45.220
 to the

00:24:45.220 --> 00:24:46.059
 4,000

00:24:46.059 --> 00:24:46.759
 households

00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:47.659
 in the

00:24:47.659 --> 00:24:48.059
 parish

00:24:48.059 --> 00:24:52.240
 they raised

00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:52.599
 the money

00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:53.099
 to buy

00:24:53.099 --> 00:24:53.279
 them

00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:55.059
 they got

00:24:55.059 --> 00:24:55.599
 the people

00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:56.200
 to volunteer

00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:56.839
 to go and

00:24:56.839 --> 00:24:57.200
 stick them

00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:57.680
 through letter

00:24:57.680 --> 00:24:58.099
 boxes

00:24:58.099 --> 00:24:58.759
 in the

00:24:58.759 --> 00:24:59.220
 parish

00:24:59.220 --> 00:25:01.159
 24 hours

00:25:01.159 --> 00:25:01.639
 after the

00:25:01.639 --> 00:25:02.440
 first deliveries

00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:03.159
 there was a

00:25:03.159 --> 00:25:03.659
 phone call

00:25:03.659 --> 00:25:04.000
 in the

00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:04.440
 vicarage

00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:04.779
 the vicar

00:25:04.779 --> 00:25:05.259
 picked up

00:25:05.259 --> 00:25:05.599
 the phone

00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:05.940
 he said

00:25:05.940 --> 00:25:06.399
 yes

00:25:06.399 --> 00:25:07.579
 he said

00:25:07.579 --> 00:25:07.819
 is that

00:25:07.819 --> 00:25:08.220
 the vicar

00:25:08.220 --> 00:25:08.579
 he said

00:25:08.579 --> 00:25:08.799
 yes

00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:09.240
 the vicar

00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:09.680
 he said

00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:10.019
 you know

00:25:10.019 --> 00:25:10.720
 that video

00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:12.079
 he said

00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:12.339
 I don't

00:25:12.339 --> 00:25:12.659
 think it's

00:25:12.659 --> 00:25:12.899
 about

00:25:12.900 --> 00:25:13.320
 Jesus

00:25:13.320 --> 00:25:15.340
 he said

00:25:15.340 --> 00:25:15.860
 what do

00:25:15.860 --> 00:25:16.259
 you mean

00:25:16.259 --> 00:25:16.660
 he said

00:25:16.660 --> 00:25:16.940
 well

00:25:16.940 --> 00:25:18.120
 I've got

00:25:18.120 --> 00:25:18.940
 a Jesus

00:25:18.940 --> 00:25:19.940
 video

00:25:19.940 --> 00:25:20.600
 in a

00:25:20.600 --> 00:25:20.960
 Jesus

00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:21.720
 packet

00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:22.920
 he said

00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:23.140
 but it's

00:25:23.140 --> 00:25:23.480
 a movie

00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:23.900
 called

00:25:23.900 --> 00:25:24.400
 when Harry

00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:25.060
 met Sally

00:25:25.060 --> 00:25:28.980
 and I don't

00:25:28.980 --> 00:25:29.160
 know how

00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:29.720
 this happened

00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:30.160
 but it got

00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:30.500
 kind of

00:25:30.500 --> 00:25:31.040
 circulating

00:25:31.040 --> 00:25:31.360
 and a

00:25:31.360 --> 00:25:31.680
 local

00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:32.100
 paper

00:25:32.100 --> 00:25:32.320
 the

00:25:32.320 --> 00:25:32.560
 bucks

00:25:32.560 --> 00:25:32.800
 free

00:25:32.800 --> 00:25:33.180
 press

00:25:33.180 --> 00:25:33.400
 ran

00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:33.640
 this

00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:33.900
 thing

00:25:33.900 --> 00:25:34.340
 was like

00:25:34.340 --> 00:25:34.980
 vicar

00:25:34.980 --> 00:25:35.720
 circulates

00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:36.140
 porn

00:25:36.140 --> 00:25:36.620
 to every

00:25:36.620 --> 00:25:36.940
 house

 in the

00:25:37.220 --> 00:25:37.620

00:25:37.619 --> 00:25:41.219

00:25:41.219 --> 00:25:41.439
 about

00:25:41.439 --> 00:25:41.919

00:25:41.919 --> 00:25:42.539
 the

00:25:42.539 --> 00:25:42.799
 very

00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:43.199
 fact

00:25:43.199 --> 00:25:43.359
 that

00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:43.500
 that

00:25:43.500 --> 00:25:43.639
 was

00:25:43.639 --> 00:25:43.779
 in

00:25:45.379 --> 00:25:45.599
 it

00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:47.679
 and only

00:25:47.679 --> 00:25:48.199
 one of

00:25:48.199 --> 00:25:48.859

00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:53.079

00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:57.740
 and I

00:25:57.740 --> 00:25:58.200
 spoke

00:25:58.200 --> 00:25:58.579
 at the

00:25:58.579 --> 00:25:59.000
 opening

00:26:00.980 --> 00:26:01.159
 there

00:26:01.159 --> 00:26:01.299
 were

00:26:01.299 --> 00:26:02.220
 360

00:26:02.220 --> 00:26:02.779
 people

00:26:02.779 --> 00:26:03.220
 at it

00:26:03.220 --> 00:26:06.220
 remember

00:26:06.220 --> 00:26:06.700
 what God

00:26:06.700 --> 00:26:07.159
 said in

00:26:07.159 --> 00:26:08.139
 Romans 8

00:26:08.139 --> 00:26:08.679
 and verse

00:26:08.679 --> 00:26:09.359
 28

00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:11.119
 all things

00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:11.960
 work together

00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:12.679
 for good

00:26:12.679 --> 00:26:13.299
 to them

00:26:13.299 --> 00:26:13.740
 that love

00:26:13.740 --> 00:26:14.119
 God

00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:17.279
 see

00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:18.480
 I'm telling

00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:18.740
 you

00:26:18.740 --> 00:26:19.419
 how you

00:26:19.419 --> 00:26:20.119
 might listen

00:26:20.119 --> 00:26:20.619
 to God

00:26:20.619 --> 00:26:21.019
 how you

00:26:21.019 --> 00:26:21.740
 might listen

00:26:21.740 --> 00:26:22.159
 to your

00:26:22.159 --> 00:26:22.559
 Christian

00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:23.000
 friends

00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:23.679
 how you

00:26:23.679 --> 00:26:24.179
 might get

00:26:24.179 --> 00:26:25.000
 wise advice

00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:25.640
 that may

00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:26.079
 make you

00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:26.380
 a little

00:26:26.380 --> 00:26:26.960
 wiser

00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:31.160
 but I'm

00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:31.559
 saying to you

00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:32.160
 for crying

00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:32.839
 out loud

00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:34.619
 don't go

00:26:34.619 --> 00:26:34.980
 through

00:26:34.980 --> 00:26:36.039
 your life

00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:36.440
 with a

00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:36.759
 lily

00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:37.180
 livid

00:26:37.180 --> 00:26:37.759
 spirit

00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:38.420
 terrified

00:26:38.420 --> 00:26:39.039
 that you

00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:39.579
 might make

00:26:39.579 --> 00:26:40.160
 a mistake

00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:41.119
 because when

00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:41.539
 you do

00:26:41.539 --> 00:26:42.019
 make a

00:26:42.019 --> 00:26:42.339
 mistake

00:26:42.339 --> 00:26:42.759
 if you

00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:43.200
 make it

00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:43.640
 honestly

00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:44.480
 God

00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:45.140
 will weave

00:26:45.140 --> 00:26:45.700
 it back

00:26:45.700 --> 00:26:46.859
 into the

00:26:46.859 --> 00:26:47.240
 pattern

00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:47.759
 of your

00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:48.279
 life

00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:50.559
 I was

00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:51.019
 once

00:26:51.019 --> 00:26:51.839
 in

00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:52.640
 Turkey

00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:53.660
 and

00:26:53.660 --> 00:26:55.000
 we

00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:55.180
 were

00:26:55.180 --> 00:26:55.380
 on

00:26:55.380 --> 00:26:55.779
 a

00:26:55.779 --> 00:26:56.160
 tour

00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:56.300
 it

00:26:56.300 --> 00:26:56.380
 was

00:26:56.380 --> 00:26:56.740
 like

00:26:56.740 --> 00:26:57.140
 the

00:26:57.140 --> 00:26:57.880
 six

00:26:57.880 --> 00:26:58.740
 churches

00:26:58.740 --> 00:27:01.200
 seven

00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:01.700
 churches

00:27:01.700 --> 00:27:02.160
 in the

00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:02.320
 book

00:27:02.320 --> 00:27:02.460
 of

00:27:02.460 --> 00:27:02.960
 Revelation

00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:03.440
 and we

00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:03.580
 were

00:27:03.580 --> 00:27:04.000
 visiting

00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:04.380
 every

00:27:04.380 --> 00:27:04.740
 site

00:27:04.740 --> 00:27:04.980
 in

00:27:04.980 --> 00:27:05.380
 Turkey

00:27:05.380 --> 00:27:07.019
 here's

00:27:07.019 --> 00:27:07.200
 my

00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:07.540
 advice

00:27:07.540 --> 00:27:07.820
 never

00:27:07.820 --> 00:27:08.100
 do

00:27:08.100 --> 00:27:08.460
 that

00:27:08.460 --> 00:27:10.420
 I

00:27:10.420 --> 00:27:10.620
 mean

00:27:10.620 --> 00:27:11.000
 it's

00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:11.240
 a bit

00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:11.820
 disappointing

00:27:11.820 --> 00:27:12.320
 to find

00:27:12.320 --> 00:27:12.519
 out

00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:12.860
 that the

00:27:12.860 --> 00:27:13.140
 church

00:27:13.140 --> 00:27:13.340
 in

00:27:13.340 --> 00:27:13.720
 Smyrna

00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:14.100
 is now

00:27:14.100 --> 00:27:14.220
 a

00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:14.440
 multi

00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:14.900
 storey

00:27:14.900 --> 00:27:15.519
 car park

00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:17.300
 that's

00:27:17.300 --> 00:27:17.620
 not my

00:27:17.620 --> 00:27:17.940
 point

00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:18.540
 my

00:27:18.540 --> 00:27:18.820
 point

00:27:18.820 --> 00:27:19.200
 was

00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:19.840
 like

00:27:19.840 --> 00:27:20.240
 often

00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:20.600
 happens

00:27:20.600 --> 00:27:20.800
 on

00:27:20.800 --> 00:27:21.060
 these

00:27:21.060 --> 00:27:21.380
 tours

00:27:21.380 --> 00:27:21.640
 it's

00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:22.300
 prearranged

00:27:22.300 --> 00:27:22.680
 that you

00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:23.000
 will be

00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:23.380
 taken

00:27:23.380 --> 00:27:23.640
 to

00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:24.060
 various

00:27:24.060 --> 00:27:24.560
 places

00:27:24.560 --> 00:27:24.820
 that

00:27:24.820 --> 00:27:25.240
 produce

00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:25.560
 knick

00:27:25.560 --> 00:27:25.880
 knacks

00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:26.100
 and

00:27:26.100 --> 00:27:26.540
 local

00:27:26.540 --> 00:27:27.340
 kind

00:27:27.340 --> 00:27:27.460
 of

00:27:27.460 --> 00:27:27.700
 stuff

00:27:27.700 --> 00:27:27.880
 so

00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:28.100
 we

00:27:28.100 --> 00:27:28.400
 went

00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:28.800
 to

00:27:28.800 --> 00:27:29.920
 a

00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:30.280
 carpet

00:27:30.280 --> 00:27:30.860
 place

00:27:30.860 --> 00:27:31.860
 and

00:27:31.860 --> 00:27:32.040
 there's

00:27:32.040 --> 00:27:32.260
 all

00:27:32.260 --> 00:27:32.440
 these

00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:33.020
 ladies

00:27:33.020 --> 00:27:34.160
 hand

00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:34.560
 doing

00:27:34.560 --> 00:27:34.960
 these

00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:35.860
 carpets

00:27:35.860 --> 00:27:36.100
 and

00:27:36.100 --> 00:27:39.360
 somebody

00:27:39.360 --> 00:27:39.780
 said

00:27:39.780 --> 00:27:40.500
 so what

00:27:40.500 --> 00:27:40.680
 happens

00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:40.940
 when you

00:27:40.940 --> 00:27:41.280
 make a

00:27:41.280 --> 00:27:41.760
 mistake

00:27:41.760 --> 00:27:42.520
 because

00:27:42.520 --> 00:27:42.720
 they're

00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:43.660
 doing it

00:27:43.660 --> 00:27:43.940
 from the

00:27:43.940 --> 00:27:44.160
 back

00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:44.400
 of the

00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:44.700
 carpet

00:27:44.700 --> 00:27:45.060
 so they

00:27:45.060 --> 00:27:45.320
 can't

00:27:45.320 --> 00:27:45.500
 see

00:27:45.500 --> 00:27:45.700
 the

00:27:45.700 --> 00:27:45.940
 front

00:27:45.940 --> 00:27:46.620
 they

00:27:46.620 --> 00:27:46.920
 said

00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:47.100
 oh

00:27:47.100 --> 00:27:47.260
 well

00:27:47.260 --> 00:27:47.600
 when we

00:27:47.600 --> 00:27:47.800
 look

00:27:47.800 --> 00:27:48.020
 at it

00:27:48.020 --> 00:27:48.140
 we

00:27:48.140 --> 00:27:48.380
 just

00:27:48.380 --> 00:27:48.860
 redo

00:27:48.860 --> 00:27:49.120
 it

00:27:49.120 --> 00:27:49.460
 and

00:27:49.460 --> 00:27:49.880
 where

00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:50.080
 we

00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:50.419
 redo

00:27:50.419 --> 00:27:50.579
 it

00:27:50.579 --> 00:27:50.740
 the

00:27:50.740 --> 00:27:51.019
 carpet

00:27:51.019 --> 00:27:51.619
 stronger

00:27:51.619 --> 00:27:53.019
 where

00:27:53.019 --> 00:27:53.119
 there

00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:53.279
 was

00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:53.379
 a

00:27:53.379 --> 00:27:53.899
 mistake

00:27:53.899 --> 00:27:55.939
 and

00:27:55.939 --> 00:27:56.359
 well

00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:57.819
 you know

00:27:57.819 --> 00:27:58.039
 I'll

00:27:58.039 --> 00:27:58.259
 take

00:27:58.259 --> 00:27:58.659
 that

00:27:58.659 --> 00:28:00.399
 because

00:28:00.399 --> 00:28:00.619
 I've

00:28:00.619 --> 00:28:00.779

00:28:00.779 --> 00:28:01.439

00:28:01.439 --> 00:28:02.139

00:28:02.139 --> 00:28:02.439
 you've

00:28:02.439 --> 00:28:02.639

00:28:02.639 --> 00:28:03.259
 mistakes

00:28:03.259 --> 00:28:04.099
 and

00:28:04.099 --> 00:28:04.339
 we'll

00:28:04.339 --> 00:28:04.619
 probably

00:28:04.619 --> 00:28:05.220
 continue

00:28:05.220 --> 00:28:05.740
 to make

00:28:05.740 --> 00:28:06.379
 mistakes

00:28:06.379 --> 00:28:07.220
 but

00:28:07.579 --> 00:28:08.019
 God

00:28:08.879 --> 00:28:09.159

00:28:09.159 --> 00:28:09.379

00:28:09.379 --> 00:28:10.000
 mistakes

00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:10.439
 be

00:28:10.439 --> 00:28:11.139
 that

00:28:11.139 --> 00:28:11.299
 we

00:28:11.299 --> 00:28:11.819
 refuse

00:28:11.819 --> 00:28:12.039

00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:12.319
 listen

00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:12.500
 to

00:28:12.500 --> 00:28:12.799
 God

00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:13.740
 that

00:28:13.740 --> 00:28:13.899
 we

00:28:13.899 --> 00:28:14.399
 refuse

00:28:14.399 --> 00:28:14.639
 to

00:28:16.980 --> 00:28:17.460

00:28:17.460 --> 00:28:18.000
 and

00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:18.179
 then

00:28:18.179 --> 00:28:18.579
 stayed

00:28:18.579 --> 00:28:18.960
 home
