00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.280
 Ye gads. I'm usually sitting over here. I didn't realize there's so many of you out there.

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:16.519
 Well, if you don't know, I'm Nathan's dad. And we'll get that out of the way real quick.

00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:25.120
 And the best of Nathan is who his mom is, and the worst of who Nathan is, is me.

00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:35.460
 And I got up 6.30 this morning, but I didn't look at any emails until about 8.15.

00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:40.620
 And lo and behold, Nathan's sick.

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:49.460
 Well, that's not new news for our family. We kind of grew up that way.

00:00:49.460 --> 00:00:56.380
 And I remember when I was young, like most of you, you know, I could whip anything.

00:00:56.620 --> 00:01:00.100
 I could do anything. I could climb any tree.

00:01:01.579 --> 00:01:09.400
 One of my favorites of old is Mr. Muir. Remember Mr. Muir?

00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:13.359
 A Sierra Club come out of him.

00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:19.620
 And one of his famous antics, he wanted to experience a storm.

00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:27.020
 So in the Sierra Nevadas and California, he climbed to the top of the tallest tree he could find.

00:01:27.020 --> 00:01:31.219
 And lightning's flashing and thundering.

00:01:31.219 --> 00:01:34.099
 And the wind is blowing.

00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:35.719
 And he's on the top of this tree.

00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:40.219
 And the tree is swaying just to experience a storm.

00:01:41.459 --> 00:01:43.180
 Well, that's me growing up.

00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.840
 And that's who I was.

00:01:48.299 --> 00:01:52.460
 Strong, you know, ready to take on anything and anyone.

00:01:52.459 --> 00:02:22.439
 Strong, you know, I'm going to take on anything and anyone.

00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:29.680
 I'm going to be poached out of Okefenokee Swamp and had a brand new pickup truck.

00:02:30.780 --> 00:02:31.919
 Man, I was living.

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:33.060
 I was living.

00:02:34.659 --> 00:02:37.599
 But then it began to just kind of crumble around me.

00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:48.340
 And for the first time in my life, I really began to notice that I was more fragile than I would have admitted.

00:02:48.340 --> 00:02:56.659
 And in fact, as time wore on, not too many years out of college,

00:02:57.659 --> 00:03:04.080
 I began to realize that the outside of me and the inside of me were not the same thing.

00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.840
 I was going through the motions of having a good time and having it together,

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.120
 but miserable on the inside.

00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:18.180
 And I hated, I couldn't stand to use the word.

00:03:18.580 --> 00:03:24.340
 I certainly wasn't going to do it publicly, but I realized I was fragile.

00:03:24.340 --> 00:03:30.300
 And as time wore on, I began to see how fragile I was

00:03:30.300 --> 00:03:38.780
 and how many things in my life and around me was not in my control like they had been just a few years previously.

00:03:42.300 --> 00:03:45.719
 Now, I grew up down on the Mexican border.

00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:53.199
 That's a hard thing to grasp hold of, you know, to be a man's man and to be fragile.

00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:04.259
 But I wanted desperately for the inside of me and the outside of me to be the same person.

00:04:05.300 --> 00:04:08.060
 I didn't want to go through the motions of having a good time,

00:04:08.620 --> 00:04:11.659
 pretending, being a pretender all my life.

00:04:11.659 --> 00:04:14.979
 I wanted things to be together.

00:04:15.099 --> 00:04:17.579
 I wanted to be a whole person.

00:04:18.620 --> 00:04:22.699
 And I come to the realization that if it was ever going to happen in my life,

00:04:22.899 --> 00:04:24.740
 my job wasn't going to get it done.

00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.360
 My upbringing wasn't going to get it done.

00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:32.180
 And my relationships, because that stunk, it wasn't going to get done.

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.040
 And so I was reaching for anything.

00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:48.040
 And finally, I come to realize and believe that Jesus Christ was the only way

00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:55.900
 to get the inside of me and the outside of me and to begin to handle my frailty.

00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:01.000
 But I thought, you know, my strength would be restored.

00:05:02.860 --> 00:05:04.920
 No, I just got more and more frail.

00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:13.000
 And then one day, Julie and I had been married a little over a year,

00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:20.360
 and we had this little thing called Jamie Lee come into our life.

00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:23.160
 He gads.

00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:26.740
 What an awesome thing.

00:05:26.740 --> 00:05:30.139
 Soft, fragile.

00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:38.800
 And it was in her frailty that I found more frailty on my own part.

00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:45.240
 I discovered more things about myself that I really didn't want to admit to,

00:05:45.400 --> 00:05:47.879
 but she had me.

00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.860
 Now, I've got to tell you,

00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:58.839
 even though soft and pliable and innocent as she was,

00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:01.319
 she could really stink.

00:06:03.100 --> 00:06:10.240
 Holy moly, I didn't know that anything that gentle could stink so bad.

00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:17.340
 And yet I'm reminded every day that I'm just a stinky old guy.

00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:20.300
 So are you.

00:06:22.300 --> 00:06:26.780
 God has unique ways of bringing us back to reality

00:06:26.780 --> 00:06:32.160
 and helping us to see again and again and again how frail we are.

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:40.920
 Well, some years ago, a young friend of mine used the term irreducible minimums.

00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.320
 I've come to realize through all of my studying

00:06:44.320 --> 00:06:47.960
 that God has created the universe in circles.

00:06:49.420 --> 00:06:53.820
 And as you think you're going out through your life,

00:06:53.900 --> 00:06:57.360
 you are only going to understand that it's going to bring you back

00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.280
 sometime or another to the beginning.

00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:04.479
 And that beginning has to do with those irreducible minimums.

00:07:05.259 --> 00:07:07.359
 And as fragile as I am,

00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:11.719
 I realize I've got to have a good, strong foundation

00:07:11.719 --> 00:07:16.419
 under my life in order to live the kind of life

00:07:16.419 --> 00:07:18.359
 that would honor God.

00:07:20.059 --> 00:07:22.599
 For I didn't get saved in a church.

00:07:22.819 --> 00:07:24.699
 I didn't get saved because of a church.

00:07:24.699 --> 00:07:29.379
 I was saved in my home out of a home Bible study,

00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:34.860
 reading the Word of God and believing what it said.

00:07:36.719 --> 00:07:40.399
 So as far as I was concerned, Jesus is it.

00:07:41.039 --> 00:07:44.560
 He is the chief cornerstone, our Word tells us,

00:07:44.620 --> 00:07:49.819
 and shows us that the church is built on a strong foundation.

00:07:49.819 --> 00:07:55.099
 And what constitutes the items of that foundation

00:07:55.099 --> 00:07:58.180
 are these irreducible minimums.

00:07:58.180 --> 00:08:01.560
 1 Corinthians 13, verse 13 says,

00:08:02.100 --> 00:08:07.180
 Now faith, hope, and love.

00:08:07.339 --> 00:08:07.920
 These three.

00:08:08.740 --> 00:08:12.019
 But the greatest of these is love.

00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.019
 There's an irreducible minimum in it.

00:08:14.019 --> 00:08:18.959
 Faith and hope are irreducible minimums.

00:08:19.899 --> 00:08:21.919
 Well, I want to focus today on faith,

00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.139
 if you don't mind.

00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:26.659
 Y'all want to vote for it?

00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.139
 Because if we choose something else,

00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:31.560
 somebody else is going to have to preach it.

00:08:34.100 --> 00:08:38.480
 Faith is how we get into this life,

00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.620
 and faith is how we're to go on with this life.

00:08:42.620 --> 00:08:43.240
 Faith is how we get into this life.

00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:45.419
 Some folks just get in by faith and say,

00:08:45.560 --> 00:08:47.259
 Well, that part's done.

00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:48.980
 What's next?

00:08:49.980 --> 00:08:53.860
 And so we, like I was pursuing what's next,

00:08:54.060 --> 00:08:56.980
 we go from preacher to preacher,

00:08:57.220 --> 00:08:58.840
 church to church, you know,

00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:01.399
 version of the Bible to version of the Bible.

00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:02.960
 We jump all over the place.

00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:05.460
 Jesus said to the Pharisees,

00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.080
 he actually was kind of honoring them.

00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:10.960
 He said,

00:09:11.060 --> 00:09:13.160
 You diligently search the scriptures,

00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:17.220
 but you fail to come to me.

00:09:18.660 --> 00:09:20.480
 See, when it all boils down,

00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:23.080
 one of those irreducible minimums

00:09:24.139 --> 00:09:27.980
 is,

00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:30.060
 you with me?

00:09:32.060 --> 00:09:33.920
 When it all boils down,

00:09:34.400 --> 00:09:36.440
 one of those irreducible minimums,

00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:39.840
 is faith.

00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:44.820
 Faith is how we get in.

00:09:46.060 --> 00:09:47.800
 But do you know what faith is?

00:09:49.740 --> 00:09:52.000
 If we all had a moment,

00:09:52.220 --> 00:09:54.800
 and we'd go look to find out

00:09:54.800 --> 00:09:56.480
 a definition of faith,

00:09:56.980 --> 00:09:57.740
 some of us,

00:09:57.740 --> 00:09:59.960
 like Sid,

00:10:00.139 --> 00:10:01.379
 in his day and age,

00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:02.299
 he'd go to a dictionary.

00:10:02.700 --> 00:10:03.940
 His dictionary would be

00:10:03.940 --> 00:10:05.440
 some hard copy out there,

00:10:05.899 --> 00:10:06.600
 a Webster's,

00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:07.480
 a New Collegiate,

00:10:07.620 --> 00:10:08.419
 somewhere out there,

00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:10.980
 he'd go find a dictionary.

00:10:12.259 --> 00:10:13.919
 In most of your cases,

00:10:14.019 --> 00:10:15.580
 you'd just whip out your iPhone,

00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.360
 and I was asking Nathan the other day,

00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:18.620
 I said,

00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:21.279
 Where is there a good dictionary

00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:25.819
 that I can get in my iPhone?

00:10:26.459 --> 00:10:27.100
 And he said,

00:10:27.179 --> 00:10:28.059
 He said,

00:10:28.299 --> 00:10:29.279
 Give me your iPhone.

00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.899
 And he spoke into my iPhone

00:10:32.899 --> 00:10:38.720
 a memory thing for me to,

00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:39.959
 into my,

00:10:40.179 --> 00:10:41.419
 instead of texting it to me,

00:10:41.500 --> 00:10:42.600
 he just spoke it in there.

00:10:43.259 --> 00:10:44.379
 Dictionary.com.

00:10:44.379 --> 00:10:47.259
 I haven't done a thing with it since.

00:10:48.899 --> 00:10:49.419
 In fact,

00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:50.419
 I'm not sure what I'm supposed

00:10:50.419 --> 00:10:51.240
 to do with it next.

00:10:51.340 --> 00:10:51.960
 I could point,

00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:53.299
 tap something.

00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:54.399
 I don't know.

00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:56.840
 Today,

00:10:57.019 --> 00:10:57.840
 Nathan's,

00:10:58.600 --> 00:10:59.039
 again,

00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:00.620
 reminds me of how fragile

00:11:00.620 --> 00:11:02.480
 life can be.

00:11:04.100 --> 00:11:05.820
 I remember when Julie called me

00:11:05.820 --> 00:11:06.879
 and told me

00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:08.500
 at the office,

00:11:08.659 --> 00:11:10.059
 we'd had a vacation,

00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:11.240
 we'd gone to Disneyland

00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:12.480
 for the first time.

00:11:12.620 --> 00:11:12.779
 You know,

00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:13.720
 that's not in Florida.

00:11:14.379 --> 00:11:16.700
 Disneyland is in California.

00:11:17.620 --> 00:11:17.779
 That's,

00:11:18.100 --> 00:11:20.259
 this is pre-Disney World

00:11:20.259 --> 00:11:21.019
 for some of you.

00:11:21.980 --> 00:11:23.600
 There was a time

00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:24.740
 before Disney World.

00:11:26.019 --> 00:11:27.659
 And we went over there

00:11:27.659 --> 00:11:28.840
 and had a great time.

00:11:28.980 --> 00:11:29.860
 But he was feeling

00:11:29.860 --> 00:11:30.519
 kind of sick.

00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:31.439
 We thought he had a,

00:11:31.439 --> 00:11:32.500
 maybe a urinary

00:11:32.500 --> 00:11:33.679
 and tract infection.

00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:35.960
 And no,

00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:37.200
 he had diabetes.

00:11:38.259 --> 00:11:39.860
 And Julie calls and says,

00:11:40.259 --> 00:11:41.480
 You gotta get to the,

00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:43.220
 we gotta take him

00:11:43.220 --> 00:11:43.620
 to the hospital

00:11:43.620 --> 00:11:44.620
 right now.

00:11:45.820 --> 00:11:46.440
 I said,

00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:46.879
 Whoa,

00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:47.159
 whoa,

00:11:47.259 --> 00:11:47.419
 whoa,

00:11:47.419 --> 00:11:47.639
 whoa,

00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:47.840
 whoa,

00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:48.060
 whoa,

00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:48.279
 whoa,

00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:48.299
 whoa.

00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:49.560
 Let's don't be in such a hurry.

00:11:51.259 --> 00:11:52.320
 I had no clue

00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:53.480
 what diabetes meant.

00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.379
 Nor why we needed

00:11:56.379 --> 00:11:57.399
 to get to the hospital

00:11:57.399 --> 00:11:58.299
 right now.

00:11:59.179 --> 00:12:00.120
 So I went home,

00:12:00.220 --> 00:12:00.820
 picked them up,

00:12:00.899 --> 00:12:01.980
 took them over to the doctor

00:12:01.980 --> 00:12:03.080
 and then had made him

00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:04.360
 explain it to me personally.

00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:06.500
 And then we went immediately

00:12:06.500 --> 00:12:07.360
 to the hospital.

00:12:10.220 --> 00:12:10.620
 Gosh,

00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:11.580
 I tell you,

00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:12.680
 his arm wasn't,

00:12:12.980 --> 00:12:14.060
 didn't seem like to me

00:12:14.060 --> 00:12:15.279
 any bigger than that finger.

00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:17.680
 Sticking needles in there,

00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:20.259
 which is what he had to have,

00:12:20.259 --> 00:12:22.899
 was hard for me.

00:12:22.899 --> 00:12:25.360
 I kept envisioning

00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:26.159
 hitting the bone.

00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:28.919
 And after a few days

00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:29.459
 in the hospital,

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:29.840
 we got,

00:12:30.019 --> 00:12:30.220
 you know,

00:12:30.259 --> 00:12:31.059
 brought him home.

00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:32.620
 And I remember

00:12:32.620 --> 00:12:34.500
 that first Saturday,

00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:34.919
 you know,

00:12:34.959 --> 00:12:35.159
 thinking,

00:12:35.299 --> 00:12:35.459
 well,

00:12:35.500 --> 00:12:36.299
 let's sleep in.

00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:38.759
 Now with diabetes,

00:12:39.100 --> 00:12:40.279
 we had to get up,

00:12:40.340 --> 00:12:41.740
 we had to eat on time

00:12:41.740 --> 00:12:43.659
 and have the shot on time

00:12:43.659 --> 00:12:45.019
 and have the finger pokies

00:12:45.019 --> 00:12:45.679
 on time.

00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:47.399
 And on and on

00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:48.519
 and on it went.

00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:49.459
 And later on,

00:12:49.539 --> 00:12:51.059
 Jamie becomes a diabetic.

00:12:51.419 --> 00:12:54.120
 And this is not my family,

00:12:54.219 --> 00:12:54.620
 is it?

00:12:56.739 --> 00:12:57.259
 Yeah,

00:12:57.319 --> 00:12:57.839
 it was.

00:12:59.779 --> 00:13:01.339
 I want to say to you,

00:13:01.339 --> 00:13:02.099
 young'uns,

00:13:03.620 --> 00:13:06.439
 because calamity,

00:13:07.019 --> 00:13:07.799
 stress,

00:13:08.059 --> 00:13:08.419
 struggle,

00:13:08.659 --> 00:13:10.419
 storms come to your life,

00:13:10.419 --> 00:13:12.419
 doesn't mean

00:13:12.419 --> 00:13:13.279
 that you're doing

00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:14.419
 something wrong.

00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:16.539
 In fact,

00:13:16.599 --> 00:13:17.279
 it may mean

00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:17.839
 that you're doing

00:13:17.839 --> 00:13:19.439
 something very,

00:13:19.620 --> 00:13:21.439
 very right.

00:13:22.959 --> 00:13:24.120
 For the Father

00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:25.439
 brings these things,

00:13:25.579 --> 00:13:26.819
 allows these things

00:13:26.819 --> 00:13:27.979
 to come into our lives

00:13:27.979 --> 00:13:30.699
 in order to teach us,

00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:31.939
 to bring us

00:13:31.939 --> 00:13:33.620
 into the fullness

00:13:33.620 --> 00:13:35.379
 of who He is.

00:13:42.059 --> 00:13:43.139
 Nathan had to get

00:13:43.139 --> 00:13:44.079
 through all that

00:13:44.079 --> 00:13:45.339
 in order to be able

00:13:45.340 --> 00:13:46.720
 to stand up here

00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.320
 and speak to you.

00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:52.759
 There was a time

00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:53.560
 in Nathan's life

00:13:53.560 --> 00:13:54.680
 when he was very bitter

00:13:54.680 --> 00:13:55.440
 towards God.

00:13:56.540 --> 00:13:57.440
 Went through a lot

00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:58.139
 of high school,

00:13:58.379 --> 00:13:59.379
 college,

00:13:59.540 --> 00:13:59.840
 bitter,

00:14:00.220 --> 00:14:01.440
 because God

00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:02.519
 had done this thing

00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:02.980
 to him.

00:14:03.800 --> 00:14:04.639
 And it was getting

00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:05.340
 to know Clay

00:14:05.340 --> 00:14:07.680
 that made the difference

00:14:07.680 --> 00:14:08.500
 in his life.

00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:10.360
 God used Clay

00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:11.360
 to help him

00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.759
 overcome the bitterness

00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:15.600
 that he was

00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.100
 seething with.

00:14:19.580 --> 00:14:20.480
 That's what bitterness

00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:21.000
 does.

00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:22.180
 It causes you to,

00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:24.060
 I can't spell

00:14:24.060 --> 00:14:24.519
 seethe.

00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:26.539
 If there's any one

00:14:26.539 --> 00:14:27.460
 rule I'd have

00:14:27.460 --> 00:14:28.539
 for us as a congregation

00:14:28.539 --> 00:14:30.399
 is don't ever use

00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:31.580
 a word you can't spell.

00:14:32.700 --> 00:14:34.100
 And everybody's up

00:14:34.100 --> 00:14:35.620
 to being challenged.

00:14:36.500 --> 00:14:37.560
 I've even been challenged

00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:38.779
 as I've been preaching.

00:14:39.439 --> 00:14:40.199
 Spell it preacher!

00:14:41.939 --> 00:14:42.959
 And I couldn't.

00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:47.279
 My vocabulary

00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:48.279
 went like this

00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:48.779
 and then

00:14:48.779 --> 00:14:50.679
 now that I'm a bus driver

00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:51.779
 of elementary kids

00:14:51.779 --> 00:14:53.119
 it's gone way,

00:14:53.339 --> 00:14:54.859
 way,

00:14:55.019 --> 00:14:55.599
 way down.

00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:59.320
 What is faith?

00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:00.920
 And the only place

00:15:00.920 --> 00:15:01.440
 for you and I

00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:02.159
 to go is to

00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:03.340
 the word of God.

00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:05.379
 Hebrews 11.1

00:15:05.379 --> 00:15:06.379
 is

00:15:06.379 --> 00:15:07.820
 the definition

00:15:07.820 --> 00:15:09.320
 for faith

00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:10.220
 for you and I.

00:15:11.180 --> 00:15:12.300
 That is

00:15:12.300 --> 00:15:13.540
 the definition.

00:15:13.740 --> 00:15:14.060
 Somebody

00:15:14.060 --> 00:15:15.519
 read it out loud

00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:16.120
 or if you've

00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:17.440
 got it memorized

00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:19.800
 spout it out for us.

00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:21.920
 Hebrews 11.1

00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:29.259
 page 1259.

00:15:33.179 --> 00:15:33.659
 Somebody,

00:15:33.860 --> 00:15:34.120
 anybody.

00:15:40.319 --> 00:15:41.519
 Now faith

00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:42.279
 is

00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:43.339
 the reality

00:15:43.339 --> 00:15:44.399
 of what's

00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:45.379
 hoped for.

00:15:47.579 --> 00:15:48.099
 When is

00:15:48.099 --> 00:15:48.539
 is.

00:15:49.339 --> 00:15:49.779
 Y'all ever

00:15:49.779 --> 00:15:50.279
 think about

00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:50.719
 when is

00:15:50.719 --> 00:15:51.099
 is?

00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:53.059
 I'm an English

00:15:53.059 --> 00:15:53.879
 teacher's nightmare

00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:54.379
 so.

00:15:55.339 --> 00:15:56.139
 But I know

00:15:56.139 --> 00:15:56.919
 this much

00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:58.039
 is

00:15:58.039 --> 00:15:58.919
 every time you

00:15:58.919 --> 00:15:59.379
 see it in the

00:15:59.379 --> 00:15:59.939
 English in the

00:15:59.939 --> 00:16:00.519
 New Testament

00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:01.299
 is is like

00:16:01.299 --> 00:16:01.699
 this.

00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:05.059
 It's not

00:16:05.059 --> 00:16:05.519
 like

00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:11.159
 once in a

00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:11.579
 while.

00:16:13.339 --> 00:16:13.860
 Faith

00:16:13.860 --> 00:16:14.719
 now

00:16:14.719 --> 00:16:15.659
 right now

00:16:15.659 --> 00:16:16.399
 where we're

00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:16.719
 at

00:16:16.719 --> 00:16:17.699
 where you're

00:16:17.699 --> 00:16:18.079
 sitting

00:16:18.079 --> 00:16:18.860
 where I'm

00:16:18.860 --> 00:16:19.379
 standing

00:16:19.379 --> 00:16:20.240
 faith

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:21.000
 right now

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:21.879
 this moment

00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:22.879
 is

00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:24.620
 and it

00:16:24.620 --> 00:16:25.120
 never

00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:26.019
 will

00:16:26.019 --> 00:16:27.220
 change.

00:16:27.419 --> 00:16:27.720
 Praise

00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:28.259
 God.

00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:29.059
 Get excited

00:16:29.059 --> 00:16:30.000
 about that.

00:16:32.299 --> 00:16:32.980
 Our

00:16:32.980 --> 00:16:33.879
 God doesn't

00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:34.860
 change.

00:16:35.860 --> 00:16:36.340
 Our

00:16:36.340 --> 00:16:36.940
 God made

00:16:36.940 --> 00:16:37.279
 up his

00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:37.820
 mind in the

00:16:37.820 --> 00:16:38.279
 beginning

00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:39.379
 and nothing

00:16:39.379 --> 00:16:40.500
 has

00:16:40.500 --> 00:16:41.740
 changed.

00:16:42.580 --> 00:16:43.220
 That's

00:16:43.220 --> 00:16:43.620
 worth

00:16:43.620 --> 00:16:44.820
 praising him

00:16:44.820 --> 00:16:45.259
 for.

00:16:45.379 --> 00:16:45.759
 That's not

00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:46.319
 that's

00:16:46.319 --> 00:16:46.519
 not

00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:47.019
 oh

00:16:47.019 --> 00:16:47.460
 me.

00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:48.000
 That's

00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:48.200
 an

00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:48.620
 amen.

00:16:50.620 --> 00:16:51.100
 Now

00:16:51.100 --> 00:16:51.720
 I'll be

00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:52.080
 the first

00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:52.480
 to admit

00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:52.899
 to you

00:16:52.899 --> 00:16:54.279
 I've

00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:54.720
 been one

00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:55.439
 of those

00:16:55.439 --> 00:16:56.220
 that if

00:16:56.220 --> 00:16:56.659
 I was

00:16:56.659 --> 00:16:57.899
 if we

00:16:57.899 --> 00:16:58.500
 were asked

00:16:58.500 --> 00:16:59.039
 you know

00:16:59.039 --> 00:16:59.460
 how many

00:16:59.460 --> 00:16:59.679
 of you

00:16:59.679 --> 00:16:59.980
 would like

00:16:59.980 --> 00:17:00.919
 to change

00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:01.500
 have God

00:17:01.500 --> 00:17:02.139
 change his

00:17:02.139 --> 00:17:02.720
 mind about

00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:03.399
 some stuff

00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:05.480
 I'd be

00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:06.119
 I'd be

00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:06.539
 there.

00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:08.440
 How many

00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:08.680
 of you

00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:08.940
 would be

00:17:08.940 --> 00:17:09.279
 there?

00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:11.559
 A room

00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:11.960
 full of

00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:12.579
 liars.

00:17:12.579 --> 00:17:17.240
 If you

00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:17.599
 haven't been

00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:18.059
 there yet

00:17:18.059 --> 00:17:18.539
 you will

00:17:18.539 --> 00:17:18.799
 be.

00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:19.539
 I promise

00:17:19.539 --> 00:17:19.779
 you.

00:17:22.059 --> 00:17:22.859
 Now

00:17:22.859 --> 00:17:24.839
 fate is

00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:26.460
 the

00:17:26.460 --> 00:17:27.240
 assurance

00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:28.240
 the reality

00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:28.639
 of the

00:17:28.639 --> 00:17:29.539
 things you

00:17:29.539 --> 00:17:30.779
 hope for.

00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:32.379
 It takes

00:17:32.379 --> 00:17:33.439
 those things

00:17:33.439 --> 00:17:33.919
 that we

00:17:33.919 --> 00:17:34.740
 have hopes

00:17:34.740 --> 00:17:35.779
 about in

00:17:35.779 --> 00:17:36.539
 our future

00:17:36.539 --> 00:17:37.779
 and brings

00:17:37.779 --> 00:17:38.659
 them into

00:17:38.659 --> 00:17:39.500
 reality

00:17:39.500 --> 00:17:40.740
 where we're

00:17:40.740 --> 00:17:42.039
 at today.

00:17:42.579 --> 00:17:44.279
 I see

00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:45.439
 things in

00:17:45.439 --> 00:17:46.579
 my future

00:17:46.579 --> 00:17:49.939
 by my

00:17:49.939 --> 00:17:50.500
 faith.

00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:53.819
 I had

00:17:53.819 --> 00:17:55.899
 a dream

00:17:55.899 --> 00:17:57.480
 of being

00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:58.039
 the same

00:17:58.039 --> 00:17:58.359
 on the

00:17:58.359 --> 00:17:59.119
 inside as

00:17:59.119 --> 00:17:59.639
 I am on

00:17:59.639 --> 00:18:00.379
 the outside

00:18:00.379 --> 00:18:03.579
 and faith

00:18:03.579 --> 00:18:04.139
 brought it

00:18:04.139 --> 00:18:05.000
 into reality

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:08.220
 but before

00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:09.419
 I saw it

00:18:09.419 --> 00:18:10.259
 in reality

00:18:10.259 --> 00:18:11.279
 I saw it

00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:11.779
 in reality

00:18:11.779 --> 00:18:12.220
 in my

00:18:12.220 --> 00:18:12.619
 head

00:18:12.619 --> 00:18:12.940
 and my

00:18:12.940 --> 00:18:13.539
 heart.

00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:15.519
 Faith is

00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:16.339
 an incredible

00:18:16.339 --> 00:18:16.980
 thing.

00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:18.359
 It's what

00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:18.980
 brings you

00:18:18.980 --> 00:18:19.660
 into this

00:18:19.660 --> 00:18:20.039
 life

00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:20.839
 but it's

00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:21.259
 what you

00:18:21.259 --> 00:18:21.980
 need to

00:18:21.980 --> 00:18:23.640
 go on

00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:24.579
 in this

00:18:24.579 --> 00:18:24.980
 life.

00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:28.480
 What else

00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:28.799
 is it?

00:18:29.980 --> 00:18:31.039
 It is the

00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:31.859
 conviction.

00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:32.319
 What's your

00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:32.879
 Bible say?

00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:37.540
 proof of

00:18:37.540 --> 00:18:38.500
 the things

00:18:38.500 --> 00:18:39.800
 look at

00:18:39.800 --> 00:18:39.980
 it.

00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:40.480
 If you're

00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:40.800
 looking at

00:18:40.800 --> 00:18:41.100
 me you're

00:18:41.100 --> 00:18:41.400
 not looking

00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:41.560
 at your

00:18:41.560 --> 00:18:41.980
 Bible look

00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:42.440
 at it.

00:18:43.780 --> 00:18:44.240
 Not

00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:45.060
 seen.

00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:46.620
 Circle

00:18:46.620 --> 00:18:47.220
 that word

00:18:47.220 --> 00:18:47.780
 not.

00:18:48.360 --> 00:18:48.820
 That's a

00:18:48.820 --> 00:18:49.840
 huge word.

00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:51.000
 Sooner or

00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:51.460
 later you're

00:18:51.460 --> 00:18:51.640
 going to

00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:52.380
 realize as

00:18:52.380 --> 00:18:52.800
 you're growing

00:18:52.800 --> 00:18:53.100
 in the

00:18:53.100 --> 00:18:53.640
 Lord Jesus

00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:54.120
 that the

00:18:54.120 --> 00:18:54.760
 little words

00:18:54.760 --> 00:18:55.640
 mean sometimes

00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:56.160
 more than

00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:56.540
 the big

00:18:56.540 --> 00:18:57.180
 words do.

00:18:58.260 --> 00:18:58.960
 Like when

00:18:58.960 --> 00:18:59.640
 is is.

00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:00.259
 I mean

00:19:00.259 --> 00:19:01.640
 that's

00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:02.360
 that's a

00:19:02.360 --> 00:19:03.100
 big word.

00:19:03.620 --> 00:19:04.140
 Not

00:19:04.140 --> 00:19:05.020
 means a

00:19:05.020 --> 00:19:05.960
 whole lot

00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:06.360
 and you can

00:19:06.360 --> 00:19:06.940
 skip over

00:19:06.940 --> 00:19:07.480
 that thing

00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:08.280
 and not

00:19:08.280 --> 00:19:08.880
 get it.

00:19:09.360 --> 00:19:10.240
 You cannot

00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:11.180
 be a good

00:19:11.180 --> 00:19:12.120
 Missourian.

00:19:13.080 --> 00:19:13.820
 You know

00:19:13.820 --> 00:19:14.200
 what it says

00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:14.440
 on the

00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:14.900
 Missouri

00:19:14.900 --> 00:19:16.500
 license plate?

00:19:18.259 --> 00:19:19.140
 Show me

00:19:19.140 --> 00:19:19.640
 state.

00:19:21.040 --> 00:19:21.840
 A lot

00:19:21.840 --> 00:19:22.240
 of us

00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:24.620
 say we're

00:19:24.620 --> 00:19:25.520
 acting and

00:19:25.520 --> 00:19:26.080
 we're living

00:19:26.080 --> 00:19:27.020
 out of faith

00:19:27.020 --> 00:19:27.660
 but we don't

00:19:27.660 --> 00:19:28.440
 really believe

00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:29.280
 anything until

00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:30.000
 we see it.

00:19:31.019 --> 00:19:31.839
 Until it's

00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:32.460
 tangible.

00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:34.379
 I guess that

00:19:34.379 --> 00:19:34.859
 thing isn't

00:19:34.859 --> 00:19:35.440
 on is it?

00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:37.079
 Could have

00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:37.680
 moved it.

00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:40.420
 Until it's

00:19:40.420 --> 00:19:41.059
 tangible.

00:19:41.299 --> 00:19:41.680
 Until you

00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:42.399
 can touch it.

00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:43.420
 See I say

00:19:43.420 --> 00:19:44.359
 well yes I

00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:45.420
 have faith but

00:19:45.420 --> 00:19:47.240
 here's my

00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:47.700
 faith.

00:19:49.259 --> 00:19:49.779
 No no.

00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:50.639
 The thing's

00:19:50.639 --> 00:19:53.000
 not seen.

00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:56.019
 I had

00:19:56.019 --> 00:19:56.759
 faith that

00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:57.359
 God was

00:19:57.359 --> 00:19:58.720
 going to

00:19:58.720 --> 00:19:59.299
 give me

00:19:59.299 --> 00:19:59.319
 give me

00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:00.440
 a godly

00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:01.819
 family.

00:20:03.100 --> 00:20:04.100
 A godly

00:20:04.100 --> 00:20:04.779
 wife.

00:20:05.600 --> 00:20:06.299
 And godly

00:20:06.299 --> 00:20:06.839
 children.

00:20:08.700 --> 00:20:09.519
 Did that

00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:10.180
 say okay

00:20:10.180 --> 00:20:10.880
 well now

00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:11.500
 that's done

00:20:11.500 --> 00:20:11.839
 I don't

00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:12.240
 have to do

00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:12.839
 anything about

00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:13.100
 that?

00:20:13.460 --> 00:20:13.860
 No

00:20:13.860 --> 00:20:14.620
 absolutely

00:20:14.620 --> 00:20:15.120
 not.

00:20:15.220 --> 00:20:15.799
 Every day

00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:16.519
 of Jamie's

00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:16.799
 life.

00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:17.860
 Every day

00:20:17.860 --> 00:20:19.360
 of Nathan's

00:20:19.360 --> 00:20:19.700
 life.

00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:21.120
 Even before

00:20:21.120 --> 00:20:21.559
 they were

00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:21.980
 born.

00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:22.980
 Every day

00:20:22.980 --> 00:20:23.600
 of Jan

00:20:23.600 --> 00:20:24.140
 Lynn's

00:20:24.140 --> 00:20:24.480
 life.

00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:25.759
 Even before

00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:26.259
 she was

00:20:26.259 --> 00:20:27.539
 born I

00:20:27.539 --> 00:20:29.359
 prayed for

00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:29.819
 them.

00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:31.859
 Every single

00:20:31.859 --> 00:20:33.180
 day that

00:20:33.180 --> 00:20:33.559
 they would

00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:34.759
 grow up to

00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:35.500
 be men and

00:20:35.500 --> 00:20:35.960
 women of

00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:37.059
 God and

00:20:37.059 --> 00:20:38.680
 marry men

00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:39.299
 and women

00:20:39.299 --> 00:20:40.660
 of God.

00:20:43.140 --> 00:20:43.940
 But I

00:20:43.940 --> 00:20:44.680
 saw it in

00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:45.180
 the beginning

00:20:45.180 --> 00:20:45.960
 what it

00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:46.440
 could be

00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:46.920
 like.

00:20:49.379 --> 00:20:50.299
 And God

00:20:50.299 --> 00:20:50.839
 has brought

00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:51.220
 it to

00:20:51.220 --> 00:20:51.659
 pass.

00:20:53.919 --> 00:20:54.679
 I don't

00:20:54.679 --> 00:20:55.119
 feel the

00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:55.500
 need like

00:20:55.500 --> 00:20:55.819
 a lot of

00:20:55.819 --> 00:20:56.379
 preachers do

00:20:56.379 --> 00:20:57.199
 preaching

00:20:57.199 --> 00:20:57.899
 every Sunday.

00:20:58.159 --> 00:20:58.819
 I enjoy

00:20:58.819 --> 00:20:59.559
 sitting over

00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:00.639
 there and

00:21:00.639 --> 00:21:01.359
 listening to

00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:02.039
 my son

00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:03.659
 open the

00:21:03.659 --> 00:21:04.000
 word of

00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:04.359
 God.

00:21:05.500 --> 00:21:06.579
 Joy fills

00:21:06.579 --> 00:21:07.579
 my heart

00:21:07.579 --> 00:21:08.980
 when I

00:21:08.980 --> 00:21:09.819
 hear things

00:21:09.819 --> 00:21:10.599
 tumbling out

00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:11.139
 of him

00:21:11.139 --> 00:21:12.179
 that I

00:21:12.179 --> 00:21:12.519
 was in

00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:13.399
 my 40s

00:21:13.399 --> 00:21:14.379
 and 50s

00:21:14.379 --> 00:21:15.079
 before I

00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:15.879
 ever got

00:21:15.879 --> 00:21:16.759
 it and

00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:17.319
 could preach

00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:17.559
 it.

00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:20.220
 it is

00:21:20.220 --> 00:21:20.839
 true

00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:23.059
 that your

00:21:23.059 --> 00:21:24.299
 children can

00:21:24.299 --> 00:21:25.740
 truly stand

00:21:25.740 --> 00:21:26.399
 on your

00:21:26.399 --> 00:21:27.039
 shoulders

00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:30.139
 and get

00:21:30.139 --> 00:21:30.879
 to places

00:21:30.879 --> 00:21:31.319
 in the

00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:31.980
 relationship

00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:32.759
 with the

00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:33.279
 Lord Jesus

00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:34.019
 Christ and

00:21:34.019 --> 00:21:34.399
 with the

00:21:34.399 --> 00:21:34.919
 body of

00:21:34.919 --> 00:21:35.460
 Christ

00:21:35.460 --> 00:21:38.039
 that you

00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:38.399
 couldn't

00:21:38.399 --> 00:21:38.779
 have got

00:21:38.779 --> 00:21:39.859
 to until

00:21:39.859 --> 00:21:40.379
 you got

00:21:40.379 --> 00:21:40.779
 much,

00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:41.480
 much older.

00:21:42.679 --> 00:21:43.259
 Praise

00:21:43.259 --> 00:21:43.980
 God.

00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:46.279
 Faith

00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:46.859
 does

00:21:46.859 --> 00:21:48.279
 remarkable

00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:48.959
 things.

00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:50.199
 It leads

00:21:50.199 --> 00:21:50.719
 us into

00:21:50.719 --> 00:21:51.859
 remarkable

00:21:51.859 --> 00:21:54.119
 prayer times

00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:54.919
 with the

00:21:54.919 --> 00:21:55.259
 Father.

00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:56.240
 Faith does

00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:57.039
 things for

00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:57.599
 us that

00:21:57.599 --> 00:21:57.979
 we would

00:21:57.979 --> 00:21:58.459
 have never

00:21:58.459 --> 00:21:58.979
 believed.

00:21:59.099 --> 00:21:59.359
 There was

00:21:59.359 --> 00:21:59.939
 a time

00:21:59.939 --> 00:22:00.719
 in this

00:22:00.719 --> 00:22:01.639
 auditorium

00:22:01.639 --> 00:22:03.479
 when it

00:22:03.479 --> 00:22:04.219
 looked like

00:22:04.219 --> 00:22:04.599
 there would

00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:05.419
 never be

00:22:05.419 --> 00:22:06.219
 a time

00:22:06.219 --> 00:22:06.959
 at all

00:22:06.959 --> 00:22:08.619
 where every

00:22:08.619 --> 00:22:09.240
 chair would

00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:10.139
 be filled

00:22:10.139 --> 00:22:11.500
 to overflowing.

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:11.700
 thing.

00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:15.700
 I remember

00:22:15.700 --> 00:22:16.059
 when we

00:22:16.059 --> 00:22:16.380
 were a

00:22:16.380 --> 00:22:16.559
 little

00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:17.119
 circle

00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:17.920
 right here

00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:21.279
 and in

00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:21.660
 those days

00:22:21.660 --> 00:22:22.019
 I did

00:22:22.019 --> 00:22:22.380
 all the

00:22:22.380 --> 00:22:22.839
 talking

00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:28.680
 but

00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:29.319
 believing

00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:31.500
 that one

00:22:31.500 --> 00:22:31.940
 day it

00:22:31.940 --> 00:22:32.240
 would be

00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:33.079
 like this

00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:35.279
 and beyond

00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:37.399
 and that

00:22:37.399 --> 00:22:37.639
 it would

00:22:37.639 --> 00:22:38.139
 be about

00:22:38.139 --> 00:22:39.000
 family.

00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:39.660
 So much

00:22:39.660 --> 00:22:40.039
 so that

00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:40.299
 in the

00:22:40.299 --> 00:22:40.619
 beginning

00:22:40.619 --> 00:22:42.139
 we didn't

00:22:42.139 --> 00:22:42.660
 even add

00:22:42.660 --> 00:22:43.200
 the name

00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:43.759
 church.

00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:45.319
 Because in

00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:45.940
 my opinion

00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:46.420
 I've been

00:22:46.420 --> 00:22:47.019
 a church

00:22:47.019 --> 00:22:47.599
 planner and

00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:48.319
 an apostolic

00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:49.160
 ministry for

00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:49.480
 a long

00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:50.359
 time and

00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:50.660
 in my

00:22:50.660 --> 00:22:51.399
 mind the

00:22:51.399 --> 00:22:52.180
 word church

00:22:52.180 --> 00:22:52.680
 has almost

00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:53.220
 become a

00:22:53.220 --> 00:22:53.980
 dirty word

00:22:53.980 --> 00:22:54.359
 in our

00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:54.839
 culture.

00:22:56.099 --> 00:22:56.660
 Almost

00:22:56.660 --> 00:22:57.420
 completely

00:22:57.420 --> 00:22:58.299
 meaningless.

00:22:58.299 --> 00:23:01.559
 people without

00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:03.519
 faith think

00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:04.539
 terrible things

00:23:04.539 --> 00:23:04.819
 when they

00:23:04.819 --> 00:23:05.180
 hear the

00:23:05.180 --> 00:23:06.159
 word church.

00:23:08.399 --> 00:23:09.539
 What is

00:23:09.539 --> 00:23:10.039
 church?

00:23:10.180 --> 00:23:10.680
 It should

00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:11.440
 be family.

00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:14.639
 And who

00:23:14.639 --> 00:23:14.980
 does it

00:23:14.980 --> 00:23:15.680
 belong to?

00:23:16.819 --> 00:23:17.680
 Jerry?

00:23:18.259 --> 00:23:19.039
 Nathan?

00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:20.859
 Elders?

00:23:22.019 --> 00:23:23.099
 It belongs

00:23:23.099 --> 00:23:23.579
 to Christ

00:23:23.579 --> 00:23:24.099
 Jesus.

00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:25.599
 It's

00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:26.279
 His

00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:27.099
 church.

00:23:27.099 --> 00:23:27.179
 church.

00:23:27.919 --> 00:23:28.759
 This isn't

00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:29.240
 mine.

00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:29.619
 I don't

00:23:29.619 --> 00:23:30.079
 believe in

00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:30.919
 ministries.

00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:31.619
 There's only

00:23:31.619 --> 00:23:32.359
 one ministry

00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:32.659
 and it

00:23:32.659 --> 00:23:33.240
 belongs to

00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:33.939
 the Father.

00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:36.500
 And we

00:23:36.500 --> 00:23:37.039
 get to be

00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:37.959
 part of

00:23:37.959 --> 00:23:38.179
 it.

00:23:38.299 --> 00:23:38.879
 Praise

00:23:38.879 --> 00:23:39.439
 God.

00:23:40.059 --> 00:23:40.500
 Can you

00:23:40.500 --> 00:23:41.000
 get excited

00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:41.779
 about that?

00:23:42.399 --> 00:23:43.079
 He's got

00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:43.659
 an invitation

00:23:43.659 --> 00:23:44.679
 for you to

00:23:44.679 --> 00:23:45.539
 come join

00:23:45.539 --> 00:23:46.539
 Him in

00:23:46.539 --> 00:23:47.559
 your future.

00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:49.759
 We don't

00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:50.079
 know where

00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:50.459
 that's going

00:23:50.459 --> 00:23:50.819
 to be.

00:23:50.959 --> 00:23:51.240
 When I

00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:51.559
 gave my

00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:51.919
 heart to

00:23:51.919 --> 00:23:52.480
 Jesus I

00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:53.199
 said anything

00:23:53.199 --> 00:23:53.740
 you want

00:23:53.740 --> 00:23:54.039
 God.

00:23:55.619 --> 00:23:56.259
 And I

00:23:56.259 --> 00:23:56.919
 told friends

00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:57.259
 over and

00:23:57.259 --> 00:23:57.600
 over again

00:23:57.600 --> 00:23:57.840
 if I

00:23:57.840 --> 00:23:58.220
 thought that

00:23:58.220 --> 00:23:58.640
 meant being

00:23:58.640 --> 00:23:59.500
 a Baptist

00:23:59.500 --> 00:24:00.039
 preacher

00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:02.039
 maybe we

00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:02.360
 would have

00:24:02.360 --> 00:24:03.420
 negotiated this

00:24:03.420 --> 00:24:04.100
 a little bit.

00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:07.660
 Because that

00:24:07.660 --> 00:24:08.100
 was the

00:24:08.100 --> 00:24:08.620
 farthest

00:24:08.620 --> 00:24:09.160
 thing from

00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:09.960
 my mind.

00:24:11.120 --> 00:24:11.900
 I thought

00:24:11.900 --> 00:24:12.259
 I was going

00:24:12.259 --> 00:24:12.600
 to become

00:24:12.600 --> 00:24:13.420
 a rancher.

00:24:14.539 --> 00:24:14.980
 Surely

00:24:14.980 --> 00:24:15.779
 God wants

00:24:15.779 --> 00:24:16.259
 me to be

00:24:16.259 --> 00:24:16.800
 happy and

00:24:16.800 --> 00:24:17.100
 He would

00:24:17.100 --> 00:24:17.680
 agree with

00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:18.100
 me about

00:24:18.100 --> 00:24:18.320
 that.

00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:18.660
 Wouldn't

00:24:18.660 --> 00:24:18.880
 He?

00:24:21.140 --> 00:24:22.039
 He showed

00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:22.400
 me the

00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:23.279
 opportunity and

00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:23.500
 then He

00:24:23.500 --> 00:24:24.800
 went nope

00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:25.659
 I'm going

00:24:25.659 --> 00:24:26.039
 to send

00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:26.399
 you to

00:24:26.399 --> 00:24:27.079
 seminary

00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:27.579
 instead.

00:24:29.139 --> 00:24:29.720
 And He

00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:30.379
 expected me

00:24:30.379 --> 00:24:31.019
 to be happy

00:24:31.019 --> 00:24:31.659
 about that.

00:24:33.639 --> 00:24:34.220
 When I

00:24:34.220 --> 00:24:34.740
 got out of

00:24:34.740 --> 00:24:35.240
 college I

00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:35.839
 determined I

00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:36.259
 was never

00:24:36.259 --> 00:24:36.819
 going back to

00:24:36.819 --> 00:24:37.299
 school again

00:24:37.299 --> 00:24:37.859
 for any

00:24:37.859 --> 00:24:38.399
 reason.

00:24:39.940 --> 00:24:40.819
 I dare you

00:24:40.819 --> 00:24:41.399
 to tell that

00:24:41.399 --> 00:24:41.940
 to God.

00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:43.799
 He'll prove

00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:44.379
 you wrong

00:24:44.379 --> 00:24:45.379
 every time.

00:24:45.380 --> 00:24:49.680
 how do

00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:49.980
 you get

00:24:49.980 --> 00:24:50.360
 faith?

00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:52.160
 Well I've

00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:53.160
 heard people

00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:53.760
 pray for

00:24:53.760 --> 00:24:54.080
 faith.

00:24:54.220 --> 00:24:54.620
 I've heard

00:24:54.620 --> 00:24:55.540
 that people

00:24:55.540 --> 00:24:56.140
 do that.

00:24:56.860 --> 00:24:57.560
 I remember

00:24:57.560 --> 00:24:58.220
 one time

00:24:58.220 --> 00:24:58.960
 years ago

00:24:58.960 --> 00:24:59.380
 there was

00:24:59.380 --> 00:24:59.900
 this TV

00:24:59.900 --> 00:25:00.660
 evangelist

00:25:00.660 --> 00:25:01.580
 and he

00:25:01.580 --> 00:25:01.900
 said if

00:25:01.900 --> 00:25:02.320
 you'd send

00:25:02.320 --> 00:25:03.200
 me 1995

00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:04.180
 he said I've

00:25:04.180 --> 00:25:04.600
 got this

00:25:04.600 --> 00:25:05.140
 handkerchief

00:25:05.140 --> 00:25:05.640
 that I've

00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:06.200
 touched

00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:06.940
 and you

00:25:06.940 --> 00:25:07.720
 just touched

00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:08.840
 that handkerchief

00:25:08.840 --> 00:25:09.540
 I'll send

00:25:09.540 --> 00:25:10.180
 it to you.

00:25:10.740 --> 00:25:11.980
 Your faith

00:25:11.980 --> 00:25:13.360
 will increase.

00:25:15.380 --> 00:25:21.780
 He made a

00:25:21.780 --> 00:25:22.440
 great case

00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:22.980
 for it but

00:25:22.980 --> 00:25:23.520
 it was more

00:25:23.520 --> 00:25:23.940
 about the

00:25:23.940 --> 00:25:25.700
 1995 than

00:25:25.700 --> 00:25:26.340
 it was about

00:25:26.340 --> 00:25:26.960
 faith.

00:25:28.660 --> 00:25:29.600
 Romans 10

00:25:29.600 --> 00:25:30.060
 17

00:25:30.060 --> 00:25:33.040
 says faith

00:25:33.040 --> 00:25:33.780
 comes by

00:25:33.780 --> 00:25:35.600
 hearing and

00:25:35.600 --> 00:25:36.580
 hearing by

00:25:36.580 --> 00:25:37.300
 the word

00:25:37.300 --> 00:25:38.680
 of God.

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:40.800
 You're not

00:25:40.800 --> 00:25:41.420
 going to

00:25:41.420 --> 00:25:42.160
 increase your

00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:44.060
 faith by

00:25:44.060 --> 00:25:44.880
 praying for

00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:45.040
 it.

00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:45.859
 asking God

00:25:45.859 --> 00:25:46.359
 for it.

00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:47.200
 God's given

00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:47.899
 you one way

00:25:47.899 --> 00:25:48.440
 and one way

00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:49.339
 only for

00:25:49.339 --> 00:25:49.940
 your faith

00:25:49.940 --> 00:25:50.579
 to be bigger

00:25:50.579 --> 00:25:51.299
 tomorrow than

00:25:51.299 --> 00:25:52.019
 it is today

00:25:52.019 --> 00:25:52.940
 and that's

00:25:52.940 --> 00:25:53.420
 by getting

00:25:53.420 --> 00:25:54.220
 your nose

00:25:54.220 --> 00:25:54.920
 into the

00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:55.279
 word of

00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:56.299
 God and

00:25:56.299 --> 00:25:57.059
 taking your

00:25:57.059 --> 00:25:57.700
 eyes and

00:25:57.700 --> 00:25:58.480
 setting them

00:25:58.480 --> 00:25:59.339
 on him

00:25:59.339 --> 00:25:59.940
 the word

00:25:59.940 --> 00:26:00.559
 of God

00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:02.200
 and letting

00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:03.000
 him connect

00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:03.539
 those two

00:26:03.539 --> 00:26:04.180
 together in

00:26:04.180 --> 00:26:04.940
 the relationship

00:26:04.940 --> 00:26:05.779
 that you have

00:26:05.779 --> 00:26:06.319
 with him

00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:08.059
 and then

00:26:08.059 --> 00:26:10.500
 allow his

00:26:10.500 --> 00:26:11.220
 leadership

00:26:11.220 --> 00:26:14.059
 to prevail

00:26:14.059 --> 00:26:16.379
 for he's

00:26:16.379 --> 00:26:17.000
 not the

00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:17.700
 Lord who

00:26:17.700 --> 00:26:18.879
 said on

00:26:18.879 --> 00:26:19.480
 the mount

00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:21.500
 y'all do

00:26:21.500 --> 00:26:22.079
 your best

00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:23.319
 I'll see

00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:23.740
 you later

00:26:23.740 --> 00:26:27.279
 our God is

00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:27.960
 still at work

00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:28.399
 on this

00:26:28.399 --> 00:26:28.779
 planet

00:26:28.779 --> 00:26:30.980
 and he's

00:26:30.980 --> 00:26:31.440
 not left

00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:31.799
 us on

00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:32.359
 our own

00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:33.759
 but instead

00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:34.220
 what he's

00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:34.700
 doing is

00:26:34.700 --> 00:26:36.059
 inviting us

00:26:36.059 --> 00:26:37.599
 into his

00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:38.299
 activities

00:26:38.299 --> 00:26:40.440
 and that's

00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:41.019
 what excites

00:26:41.019 --> 00:26:41.480
 me when I

00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:41.920
 hear about

00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:43.420
 some of you

00:26:43.420 --> 00:26:44.099
 going to

00:26:44.099 --> 00:26:45.660
 literally the

00:26:45.660 --> 00:26:46.180
 ends of the

00:26:46.180 --> 00:26:46.559
 earth

00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:49.379
 but it's

00:26:49.379 --> 00:26:50.200
 even most

00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:50.919
 important if

00:26:50.919 --> 00:26:52.000
 I hear about

00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:52.720
 what God's

00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:54.359
 doing and

00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:55.079
 ministering

00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:55.740
 through you

00:26:55.740 --> 00:26:56.460
 right here

00:26:56.460 --> 00:26:56.740
 in the

00:26:56.740 --> 00:26:57.179
 Lamiga

00:26:57.179 --> 00:26:59.099
 they're both

00:26:59.099 --> 00:26:59.839
 exciting to

00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:00.200
 me

00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:02.659
 you're my

00:27:02.659 --> 00:27:03.159
 joy

00:27:03.159 --> 00:27:05.519
 when I see

00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:06.059
 your bright

00:27:06.059 --> 00:27:06.720
 and smiling

00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:07.659
 faces when I

00:27:07.659 --> 00:27:08.200
 see the

00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:09.019
 fellowship that

00:27:09.019 --> 00:27:09.519
 you're having

00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:10.000
 with one

00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:11.159
 another before

00:27:11.159 --> 00:27:12.240
 we start and

00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:12.940
 after we

00:27:12.940 --> 00:27:13.480
 finish

00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:17.019
 God takes

00:27:17.019 --> 00:27:17.759
 delight

00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:20.660
 in your

00:27:20.660 --> 00:27:21.380
 relationships

00:27:21.380 --> 00:27:22.019
 with one

00:27:22.019 --> 00:27:22.460
 another

00:27:22.460 --> 00:27:26.220
 faith comes

00:27:26.220 --> 00:27:26.960
 by hearing

00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:27.900
 and hearing

00:27:27.900 --> 00:27:29.160
 by the

00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:29.579
 word of

00:27:29.579 --> 00:27:30.099
 God

00:27:30.099 --> 00:27:30.819
 you get

00:27:30.819 --> 00:27:31.339
 faith

00:27:31.339 --> 00:27:33.279
 but here's

00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:33.960
 the problem

00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:36.960
 Christianity

00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:37.759
 today

00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:40.079
 has fallen

00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:40.900
 back on a

00:27:40.900 --> 00:27:41.779
 position that

00:27:41.779 --> 00:27:42.960
 says the

00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:43.980
 faith I have

00:27:43.980 --> 00:27:44.600
 today is

00:27:44.600 --> 00:27:45.440
 enough for

00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:46.180
 tomorrow

00:27:46.180 --> 00:27:47.299
 and the

00:27:47.299 --> 00:27:47.840
 day after

00:27:47.840 --> 00:27:48.299
 that and

00:27:48.299 --> 00:27:48.680
 the day

00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:49.360
 after that

00:27:49.360 --> 00:27:50.140
 and the

00:27:50.140 --> 00:27:50.700
 day after

00:27:50.700 --> 00:27:51.160
 that

00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:52.759
 well that

00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:53.140
 might be

00:27:53.140 --> 00:27:53.759
 true if

00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:54.539
 if your

00:27:54.539 --> 00:27:55.120
 life is

00:27:55.120 --> 00:27:55.539
 just going

00:27:55.539 --> 00:27:55.799
 to be

00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:56.720
 absolutely

00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:57.759
 the same

00:27:57.759 --> 00:27:58.319
 day in

00:27:58.319 --> 00:27:58.640
 and day

00:27:58.640 --> 00:27:58.960
 out and

00:27:58.960 --> 00:27:59.420
 it's never

00:27:59.420 --> 00:27:59.860
 going to

00:27:59.860 --> 00:28:00.340
 change

00:28:00.340 --> 00:28:00.980
 that could

00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:01.340
 be the

00:28:01.340 --> 00:28:01.700
 truth

00:28:01.700 --> 00:28:05.660
 but I

00:28:05.660 --> 00:28:05.980
 guarantee

00:28:05.980 --> 00:28:06.360
 you right

00:28:06.360 --> 00:28:06.980
 here now

00:28:06.980 --> 00:28:08.519
 the old

00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:08.880
 guy is

00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:09.400
 telling you

00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:11.299
 it's going

00:28:11.299 --> 00:28:12.180
 to change

00:28:12.180 --> 00:28:13.900
 we live

00:28:13.900 --> 00:28:14.380
 in a world

00:28:14.380 --> 00:28:15.180
 of change

00:28:15.180 --> 00:28:16.120
 but even

00:28:16.120 --> 00:28:16.460
 if we

00:28:16.460 --> 00:28:17.060
 didn't live

00:28:17.060 --> 00:28:17.440
 in a world

00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:18.000
 of change

00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:19.299
 things would

00:28:19.299 --> 00:28:19.960
 change

00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:20.720
 new things

00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:21.340
 would come

00:28:21.340 --> 00:28:22.620
 storms will

00:28:22.620 --> 00:28:23.000
 happen

00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:23.480
 earthquakes

00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:24.380
 will happen

00:28:24.380 --> 00:28:25.360
 floods

00:28:25.360 --> 00:28:26.140
 will happen

00:28:26.140 --> 00:28:27.600
 droughts

00:28:27.600 --> 00:28:28.140
 will happen

00:28:28.140 --> 00:28:29.240
 all kinds

00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:29.779
 of things

00:28:29.779 --> 00:28:30.720
 good and

00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:31.480
 bad will

00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:32.660
 come and

00:28:32.660 --> 00:28:33.460
 cross the

00:28:33.460 --> 00:28:33.980
 path of

00:28:33.980 --> 00:28:35.000
 your life

00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:36.640
 and you

00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:37.079
 cannot

00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:38.160
 lean back

00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:39.400
 on yesterday's

00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:39.940
 fate

00:28:39.940 --> 00:28:41.380
 to stand

00:28:41.380 --> 00:28:42.000
 up

00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:43.440
 and walk

00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:43.900
 through

00:28:43.900 --> 00:28:44.920
 tomorrow's

00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:45.660
 challenges

00:28:45.660 --> 00:28:47.700
 you can't

00:28:47.700 --> 00:28:48.259
 do it

00:28:48.259 --> 00:28:52.460
 the only

00:28:52.460 --> 00:28:52.920
 way

00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:54.640
 which is

00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:55.259
 the position

00:28:55.259 --> 00:28:56.079
 of much

00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:56.799
 of Christianity

00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:57.259
 today the

00:28:57.259 --> 00:28:58.180
 only way

00:28:58.180 --> 00:28:58.660
 that people

00:28:58.660 --> 00:28:59.839
 attempt to

00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:00.599
 escape it

00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:01.539
 is by

00:29:01.539 --> 00:29:02.299
 doing

00:29:02.299 --> 00:29:03.259
 nothing

00:29:03.259 --> 00:29:07.039
 there's

00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:07.680
 nothing that

00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:08.139
 breaks the

00:29:08.139 --> 00:29:08.579
 heart of

00:29:08.579 --> 00:29:09.419
 God more

00:29:09.419 --> 00:29:09.839
 in my

00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:10.419
 opinion

00:29:10.419 --> 00:29:11.859
 than a

00:29:11.859 --> 00:29:12.480
 believer

00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:13.240
 who will

00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:13.919
 not

00:29:13.919 --> 00:29:15.299
 stand up

00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:16.240
 and walk

00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:17.639
 by faith

00:29:17.639 --> 00:29:20.299
 but merely

00:29:20.299 --> 00:29:21.079
 spends their

00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:22.019
 life sitting

00:29:22.019 --> 00:29:22.839
 in a pew

00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:23.700
 listening to

00:29:23.700 --> 00:29:24.319
 sermons

00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:25.379
 and going

00:29:25.379 --> 00:29:25.859
 out and

00:29:25.859 --> 00:29:26.379
 saying well

00:29:26.379 --> 00:29:27.000
 I got that

00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:27.599
 part of my

00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:28.180
 life done

00:29:28.180 --> 00:29:28.859
 for the week

00:29:28.859 --> 00:29:30.699
 now what's

00:29:30.699 --> 00:29:31.179
 next

00:29:31.179 --> 00:29:34.399
 there can't

00:29:34.399 --> 00:29:34.959
 be a more

00:29:34.959 --> 00:29:35.559
 miserable

00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:36.159
 person we

00:29:36.159 --> 00:29:36.899
 think the

00:29:36.899 --> 00:29:37.559
 person without

00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:38.219
 Jesus in

00:29:38.219 --> 00:29:38.659
 their life is

00:29:38.659 --> 00:29:39.000
 the most

00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:40.000
 miserable person

00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:40.559
 on the face

00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:41.139
 of the planet

00:29:41.139 --> 00:29:42.179
 but I don't

00:29:42.179 --> 00:29:42.759
 think it is

00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:43.319
 I think it's

00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:43.679
 the person

00:29:43.679 --> 00:29:44.479
 that has

00:29:44.479 --> 00:29:45.240
 Jesus in

00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:45.839
 their life

00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:47.439
 has Christ

00:29:47.439 --> 00:29:47.919
 as their

00:29:47.919 --> 00:29:48.399
 savior

00:29:48.399 --> 00:29:49.679
 has a

00:29:49.679 --> 00:29:50.159
 Lord to

00:29:50.159 --> 00:29:50.539
 give them

00:29:50.539 --> 00:29:51.099
 leadership

00:29:51.099 --> 00:29:51.839
 and everything

00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:53.019
 and just

00:29:53.019 --> 00:29:53.959
 ignores it

00:29:53.959 --> 00:29:55.979
 now that's

00:29:55.979 --> 00:29:56.419
 got to be

00:29:56.419 --> 00:29:56.959
 misery

00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:59.880
 in my

00:29:59.880 --> 00:30:00.220
 humble

00:30:00.220 --> 00:30:00.700
 opinion

00:30:00.700 --> 00:30:03.460
 for you've

00:30:03.460 --> 00:30:04.220
 by now

00:30:04.220 --> 00:30:05.039
 decided I'm

00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:05.700
 not God

00:30:05.700 --> 00:30:07.940
 and so I

00:30:07.940 --> 00:30:08.319
 have no

00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:09.039
 God almighty

00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:09.860
 statements to

00:30:09.860 --> 00:30:10.920
 make to you

00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:12.980
 except to

00:30:12.980 --> 00:30:13.500
 offer to

00:30:13.500 --> 00:30:13.960
 you

00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:16.620
 40 some

00:30:16.620 --> 00:30:17.220
 odd years

00:30:17.220 --> 00:30:18.340
 of walking

00:30:18.340 --> 00:30:18.579
 with the

00:30:18.579 --> 00:30:19.059
 Lord Jesus

00:30:19.059 --> 00:30:23.059
 so we

00:30:23.059 --> 00:30:23.660
 get faith

00:30:23.660 --> 00:30:25.900
 but how

00:30:25.900 --> 00:30:26.420
 do you put

00:30:26.420 --> 00:30:27.000
 your faith

00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:27.680
 into motion

00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:29.340
 here's a

00:30:29.340 --> 00:30:30.180
 good example

00:30:30.180 --> 00:30:32.019
 I like

00:30:32.019 --> 00:30:32.580
 this one

00:30:32.580 --> 00:30:34.940
 Mark

00:30:34.940 --> 00:30:35.820
 chapter 5

00:30:35.820 --> 00:30:38.080
 see I

00:30:38.080 --> 00:30:38.380
 got you

00:30:38.380 --> 00:30:38.740
 back to

00:30:38.740 --> 00:30:39.100
 Mark

00:30:39.100 --> 00:30:42.860
 so if

00:30:42.860 --> 00:30:43.120
 Nathan

00:30:43.120 --> 00:30:43.700
 asks and

00:30:43.700 --> 00:30:44.000
 I'm not

00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:44.340
 here for

00:30:44.340 --> 00:30:44.800
 any reason

00:30:44.800 --> 00:30:45.100
 you can

00:30:45.100 --> 00:30:45.460
 say yeah

00:30:45.460 --> 00:30:45.840
 we were

00:30:45.840 --> 00:30:46.320
 in Mark

00:30:46.320 --> 00:30:50.019
 Jesus is

00:30:50.019 --> 00:30:50.539
 healing

00:30:50.539 --> 00:30:51.880
 Jesus is

00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:53.200
 talking in

00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:53.880
 parables

00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:55.600
 he's

00:30:55.600 --> 00:30:56.660
 gone across

00:30:56.660 --> 00:30:57.160
 the sea of

00:30:57.160 --> 00:30:57.600
 Galilee

00:30:57.600 --> 00:30:58.380
 once again

00:30:58.380 --> 00:30:58.660
 to get

00:30:58.660 --> 00:30:59.120
 away from

00:30:59.120 --> 00:31:00.200
 this huge

00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:00.720
 crowd

00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:01.620
 following him

00:31:01.620 --> 00:31:03.340
 yet to

00:31:03.340 --> 00:31:04.060
 just discover

00:31:04.060 --> 00:31:04.680
 another huge

00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:05.140
 crowd on

00:31:05.140 --> 00:31:05.460
 the other

00:31:05.460 --> 00:31:05.960
 side of

00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:08.520
 the bank

00:31:08.520 --> 00:31:11.360
 and a

00:31:11.360 --> 00:31:11.780
 leader of

00:31:11.780 --> 00:31:12.220
 the synagogue

00:31:12.220 --> 00:31:13.080
 comes up to

00:31:13.080 --> 00:31:13.240
 him

00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:13.740
 Jairus

00:31:13.740 --> 00:31:14.300
 and says

00:31:14.300 --> 00:31:14.860
 my daughter

00:31:14.860 --> 00:31:15.260
 is sick

00:31:15.260 --> 00:31:15.560
 will you

00:31:15.560 --> 00:31:16.040
 come

00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:17.980
 and in

00:31:17.980 --> 00:31:18.399
 Mark

00:31:18.399 --> 00:31:19.059
 5

00:31:19.059 --> 00:31:19.379
 there

00:31:19.379 --> 00:31:21.579
 he starts

00:31:21.579 --> 00:31:22.000
 going

00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:23.000
 and there's

00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:23.680
 all these

00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:24.899
 people around

00:31:24.899 --> 00:31:25.319
 him

00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:26.420
 all these

00:31:26.420 --> 00:31:27.440
 people following

00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:28.159
 along with

00:31:28.159 --> 00:31:28.440
 him

00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:29.379
 look what it

00:31:29.379 --> 00:31:29.899
 says there

00:31:29.899 --> 00:31:30.440
 in verse

00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:31.440
 25

00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:31.940
 Mark

00:31:31.940 --> 00:31:32.319
 5

00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:32.680
 25

00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:33.920
 page

00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:34.940
 1032

00:31:34.940 --> 00:31:39.620
 and he

00:31:39.620 --> 00:31:39.980
 went off

00:31:39.980 --> 00:31:40.539
 with him

00:31:40.539 --> 00:31:41.279
 a great

00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:41.620
 multitude

00:31:41.620 --> 00:31:42.100
 following

00:31:42.100 --> 00:31:42.320
 him

00:31:42.320 --> 00:31:42.660
 pressing

00:31:42.660 --> 00:31:43.019
 in on

00:31:43.019 --> 00:31:43.200
 him

00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:43.519
 and a

00:31:43.519 --> 00:31:43.759
 woman

00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:44.039
 who had

00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:44.500
 had a

00:31:44.500 --> 00:31:44.940
 hemorrhage

00:31:44.940 --> 00:31:45.559
 for 12

00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:46.019
 years

00:31:46.019 --> 00:31:47.180
 and endured

00:31:47.180 --> 00:31:47.980
 much at the

00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:48.500
 hands of many

00:31:48.500 --> 00:31:48.960
 physicians

00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:49.759
 and had spent

00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:50.480
 all that she

00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:51.740
 had and was

00:31:51.740 --> 00:31:52.500
 not helped at

00:31:52.500 --> 00:31:53.180
 all but rather

00:31:53.180 --> 00:31:54.340
 had grown worse

00:31:54.340 --> 00:31:55.120
 after hearing

00:31:55.120 --> 00:31:55.740
 about Jesus

00:31:55.740 --> 00:31:56.940
 came up in the

00:31:56.940 --> 00:31:57.759
 crowd behind

00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:58.340
 him and

00:31:58.340 --> 00:31:59.000
 touched his

00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:00.200
 cloak for

00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:00.779
 she thought

00:32:00.779 --> 00:32:01.660
 if I just

00:32:01.660 --> 00:32:02.360
 touch his

00:32:02.360 --> 00:32:03.120
 garments

00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:04.979
 I shall get

00:32:04.979 --> 00:32:05.419
 well

00:32:05.419 --> 00:32:07.879
 and immediately

00:32:07.879 --> 00:32:08.759
 the flow of

00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:09.179
 her blood

00:32:09.179 --> 00:32:09.859
 was dried up

00:32:09.859 --> 00:32:10.539
 and she felt

00:32:10.539 --> 00:32:11.619
 in her body

00:32:11.619 --> 00:32:12.139
 that she

00:32:12.139 --> 00:32:13.019
 was healed

00:32:13.019 --> 00:32:13.319
 of her

00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:13.719
 affliction

00:32:13.719 --> 00:32:14.339
 and immediately

00:32:14.339 --> 00:32:15.719
 Jesus perceiving

00:32:15.719 --> 00:32:16.339
 in himself

00:32:16.339 --> 00:32:17.139
 that the power

00:32:17.139 --> 00:32:17.899
 proceeding from

00:32:17.899 --> 00:32:18.539
 him had gone

00:32:18.539 --> 00:32:18.959
 forth

00:32:18.959 --> 00:32:20.079
 turned around

00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:20.659
 in the crowd

00:32:20.659 --> 00:32:21.219
 and said

00:32:21.219 --> 00:32:22.879
 who touched

00:32:22.879 --> 00:32:24.679
 my garments

00:32:24.679 --> 00:32:27.299
 I can just

00:32:27.299 --> 00:32:27.899
 imagine

00:32:27.899 --> 00:32:29.419
 the disciples

00:32:29.419 --> 00:32:30.299
 at this

00:32:30.299 --> 00:32:30.839
 time

00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:31.299
 they're still

00:32:31.299 --> 00:32:31.859
 babies

00:32:31.859 --> 00:32:33.419
 I can

00:32:33.419 --> 00:32:34.279
 just imagine

00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:34.799
 them saying

00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:35.339
 what are you

00:32:35.339 --> 00:32:36.219
 talking about

00:32:36.219 --> 00:32:37.959
 are you

00:32:37.959 --> 00:32:38.539
 nuts

00:32:38.539 --> 00:32:40.500
 everybody's

00:32:40.500 --> 00:32:41.259
 touching you

00:32:41.259 --> 00:32:42.919
 everybody's

00:32:42.919 --> 00:32:43.740
 pushing in

00:32:43.740 --> 00:32:44.339
 on you

00:32:44.339 --> 00:32:45.259
 we're in a

00:32:45.259 --> 00:32:45.779
 crowd

00:32:45.779 --> 00:32:46.219
 don't you

00:32:46.219 --> 00:32:46.579
 see the

00:32:46.579 --> 00:32:47.079
 crowd

00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:47.439
 we're

00:32:47.439 --> 00:32:47.839
 we're

00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:48.359
 trying to

00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:48.699
 get to

00:32:48.699 --> 00:32:49.119
 Jairus'

00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:49.639
 house

00:32:49.639 --> 00:32:50.619
 but look

00:32:50.619 --> 00:32:51.159

00:32:51.159 --> 00:32:51.519
 they're in

00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:52.039
 our way

00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:52.659
 they're touching

00:32:52.659 --> 00:32:53.059
 you and

00:32:53.059 --> 00:32:53.500
 they're touching

00:32:53.500 --> 00:32:54.199
 you and

00:32:54.199 --> 00:32:56.019
 what do you

00:32:56.019 --> 00:32:56.579
 mean who

00:32:56.579 --> 00:32:57.719
 touched me

00:32:57.719 --> 00:33:00.439
 if you don't

00:33:00.439 --> 00:33:00.979
 remember another

00:33:00.980 --> 00:33:01.599
 thing I say

00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:02.039

00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:11.480
 knows the

00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:12.039
 difference

00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:12.839
 between a

00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:13.420
 touch of

00:33:13.420 --> 00:33:14.240
 sincerity

00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:16.120
 and a

00:33:16.120 --> 00:33:16.660
 touch of

00:33:16.660 --> 00:33:17.819
 insincerity

00:33:17.819 --> 00:33:19.799
 the crowd

00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:20.380
 was wanting

00:33:20.380 --> 00:33:20.700
 wanting

00:33:20.700 --> 00:33:21.019
 wanting

00:33:21.019 --> 00:33:21.339
 wanting

00:33:21.339 --> 00:33:21.660
 wanting

00:33:21.660 --> 00:33:21.960
 wanting

00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:22.559
 gimme gimme

 feed me

00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:25.759
 feed me

00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:26.220
 feed me

00:33:26.220 --> 00:33:28.240
 but this

00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:28.640
 woman

00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:31.079
 when she

00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:31.779
 touched him

00:33:31.779 --> 00:33:33.339
 it was

00:33:33.339 --> 00:33:33.900
 saying to

00:33:33.900 --> 00:33:34.160
 him

00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:34.740
 something

00:33:34.740 --> 00:33:35.960
 much

00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:37.160
 different

00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:38.920
 this

00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:39.259
 woman

00:33:39.259 --> 00:33:39.759
 had

00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:40.400
 fate

00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:41.900
 and by

00:33:41.900 --> 00:33:42.400
 this time

00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:42.680
 in her

00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:42.940
 life

00:33:42.940 --> 00:33:43.180
 that's

00:33:43.180 --> 00:33:43.380
 about

00:33:43.380 --> 00:33:43.600
 all

00:33:43.600 --> 00:33:43.740
 she

00:33:43.740 --> 00:33:44.000
 had

00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:45.799
 a lot

00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:45.980
 of the

00:33:45.980 --> 00:33:46.160
 women

00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:46.420
 who've

00:33:46.420 --> 00:33:46.600
 come

00:33:46.600 --> 00:33:46.940
 to us

00:33:46.940 --> 00:33:47.319
 and set

00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:47.680
 free

00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:48.180
 were just

00:33:48.180 --> 00:33:48.440
 like

00:33:48.440 --> 00:33:48.640
 this

00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:48.940
 woman

00:33:48.940 --> 00:33:49.960
 I

00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:50.279
 remember

00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:50.660
 Linda

00:33:50.660 --> 00:33:51.039
 coming

00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:51.440
 Linda

00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:51.900
 was so

00:33:51.900 --> 00:33:52.360
 weak

00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:53.579
 she could

00:33:53.579 --> 00:33:54.139
 no longer

00:33:54.139 --> 00:33:54.699
 push

00:33:54.699 --> 00:33:55.819
 the

00:33:55.819 --> 00:33:57.439
 cart

00:33:57.439 --> 00:33:57.859
 with her

00:33:57.859 --> 00:33:58.259
 stuff in

00:33:58.259 --> 00:33:58.379
 it

00:33:58.379 --> 00:33:58.619
 the

00:33:58.619 --> 00:33:59.339
 typical

00:33:59.339 --> 00:34:00.179
 bag lady

00:34:00.179 --> 00:34:01.399
 thing

00:34:01.399 --> 00:34:01.659
 that we

00:34:01.659 --> 00:34:01.939
 think

00:34:01.939 --> 00:34:02.240
 about

00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:03.179
 she was

00:34:03.179 --> 00:34:03.639
 curled up

00:34:03.639 --> 00:34:04.119
 in a ball

00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:04.659
 in a

00:34:04.659 --> 00:34:06.359
 dark alley

00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:07.099
 in Atlanta

00:34:07.099 --> 00:34:08.739
 and a

00:34:08.739 --> 00:34:09.059
 couple of

00:34:09.059 --> 00:34:09.599
 our guys

00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:10.139
 found her

00:34:10.139 --> 00:34:10.440
 in that

00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:10.759
 alley

00:34:10.759 --> 00:34:11.339
 and she

00:34:11.339 --> 00:34:11.619
 couldn't

00:34:11.619 --> 00:34:12.059
 walk

00:34:12.059 --> 00:34:13.359
 her

00:34:13.359 --> 00:34:14.440
 dress

00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:15.159
 was so

00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:15.819
 thin

00:34:15.819 --> 00:34:16.440
 that you

00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:16.940
 just hardly

00:34:16.940 --> 00:34:17.500
 touch it

00:34:17.500 --> 00:34:17.799
 and it

00:34:17.799 --> 00:34:18.420
 wanted to

00:34:18.420 --> 00:34:18.900
 fall off

00:34:18.900 --> 00:34:19.179
 of her

00:34:19.179 --> 00:34:20.420
 she had

00:34:20.420 --> 00:34:20.679
 been

00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:21.619
 abused

00:34:21.619 --> 00:34:23.259
 she

00:34:23.259 --> 00:34:23.619
 probably

00:34:23.619 --> 00:34:23.940
 weighed

00:34:23.940 --> 00:34:24.400
 no more

00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:24.679
 than

00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:26.599
 I don't

00:34:26.599 --> 00:34:26.819
 know

00:34:26.819 --> 00:34:27.319
 she weighed

00:34:27.319 --> 00:34:28.319
 85 pounds

00:34:28.319 --> 00:34:31.319
 time they

00:34:31.319 --> 00:34:31.619
 got her

00:34:31.619 --> 00:34:32.400
 to Gainesville

00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:32.880
 and called

00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:33.480
 me I'd

00:34:33.480 --> 00:34:33.880
 come to

00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:34.159
 get her

00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:34.599
 to take

00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:34.759
 her

00:34:34.759 --> 00:34:35.599
 to our

00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:36.079
 women's

00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:36.339
 house

00:34:36.339 --> 00:34:36.739
 and set

00:34:36.739 --> 00:34:37.099
 free

00:34:37.099 --> 00:34:38.719
 and all

00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:39.079
 she could

00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:39.380
 do

00:34:39.380 --> 00:34:40.000
 they carried

00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:40.460
 her out

00:34:40.460 --> 00:34:41.339
 she got

00:34:41.339 --> 00:34:41.859
 in the

00:34:41.859 --> 00:34:42.259
 front seat

00:34:42.259 --> 00:34:42.519
 of my

00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:43.179
 pickup truck

00:34:43.179 --> 00:34:43.699
 and curled

00:34:43.699 --> 00:34:44.099
 up in a

00:34:44.099 --> 00:34:44.480
 ball

00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:45.539
 and never

00:34:45.539 --> 00:34:46.219
 moved

00:34:46.219 --> 00:34:47.819
 she stunk

00:34:47.819 --> 00:34:48.920
 so bad

00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:49.799
 that I

00:34:49.799 --> 00:34:50.299
 had to run

00:34:50.299 --> 00:34:50.940
 for days

00:34:50.940 --> 00:34:51.279
 with the

00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:51.920
 windows down

00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:52.220
 in my

00:34:52.220 --> 00:34:52.680
 truck

00:34:52.680 --> 00:34:53.580
 just to

00:34:53.580 --> 00:34:53.900
 get the

00:34:53.900 --> 00:34:54.540
 smell of

00:34:54.540 --> 00:34:55.100
 her off

00:34:55.100 --> 00:34:55.820
 those seats

00:34:55.820 --> 00:34:58.240
 and when

00:34:58.240 --> 00:34:58.620
 she got to

00:34:58.620 --> 00:34:59.140
 the women's

00:34:59.140 --> 00:34:59.460
 house

00:34:59.460 --> 00:35:00.260
 they carefully

00:35:00.260 --> 00:35:00.820
 picked her

00:35:00.820 --> 00:35:01.100
 up

00:35:01.100 --> 00:35:02.740
 and these

00:35:02.740 --> 00:35:03.180
 women who

00:35:03.180 --> 00:35:03.660
 picked her

00:35:03.660 --> 00:35:04.019
 up were

00:35:04.019 --> 00:35:04.640
 women who

00:35:04.640 --> 00:35:05.580
 just a couple

00:35:05.580 --> 00:35:06.260
 months earlier

00:35:06.260 --> 00:35:06.920
 had been in

00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:07.340
 the same

00:35:07.340 --> 00:35:07.900
 position

00:35:07.900 --> 00:35:10.300
 and they

00:35:10.300 --> 00:35:11.100
 carried her

00:35:11.100 --> 00:35:11.519
 in

00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:13.840
 and they

00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:14.380
 told me her

00:35:14.380 --> 00:35:15.500
 clothes just

00:35:15.500 --> 00:35:16.180
 fell off of

00:35:16.180 --> 00:35:16.620
 her and they

00:35:16.620 --> 00:35:17.560
 hand bathed

00:35:17.560 --> 00:35:18.019
 her very

00:35:18.019 --> 00:35:18.860
 very carefully

00:35:18.860 --> 00:35:20.880
 fearing she

00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:21.380
 would die

00:35:21.380 --> 00:35:21.820
 on them

00:35:21.820 --> 00:35:23.900
 I guess

00:35:23.900 --> 00:35:24.200
 we would have

00:35:24.200 --> 00:35:24.740
 been smarter

00:35:24.740 --> 00:35:25.079
 if we had

00:35:25.079 --> 00:35:25.440
 taken her

00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:25.720
 to a

00:35:25.720 --> 00:35:26.079
 hospital

00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:28.360
 but I've

00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:28.840
 never been

00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:29.500
 known for

00:35:29.500 --> 00:35:30.280
 intelligence

00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:32.700
 unlike my

00:35:32.700 --> 00:35:33.180
 children

00:35:33.180 --> 00:35:37.260
 today Linda

00:35:37.260 --> 00:35:38.260
 probably weighs

00:35:38.260 --> 00:35:39.360
 200 pounds

00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:40.900
 got the

00:35:40.900 --> 00:35:41.280
 prettiest

00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:41.900
 smile of

00:35:41.900 --> 00:35:42.380
 any woman

00:35:42.380 --> 00:35:42.920
 I've ever

00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:43.620
 seen

00:35:43.620 --> 00:35:44.780
 who's come

00:35:44.780 --> 00:35:45.220
 through set

00:35:45.220 --> 00:35:45.660
 free or

 she said

00:37:09.300 --> 00:37:09.599
 it

00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:11.059

00:37:11.059 --> 00:37:11.480
 with her

00:37:11.480 --> 00:37:11.980

00:37:11.980 --> 00:37:12.840

00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:13.480
 was beginning

00:37:13.480 --> 00:37:14.159
 to believe

00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:14.539
 in her

00:37:14.539 --> 00:37:15.159

00:37:21.639 --> 00:37:22.300
 attention

00:37:22.300 --> 00:37:23.279

00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:27.300
 I mean

00:37:27.300 --> 00:37:28.860
 she could

00:37:28.860 --> 00:37:29.119
 have been

00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:29.619
 the person

00:37:29.619 --> 00:37:30.500
 who got

00:37:30.500 --> 00:37:31.639
 knocked down

00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:32.000
 in that

00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:32.320
 crowd

00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:33.279

00:37:33.279 --> 00:37:33.779
 under their

00:37:33.779 --> 00:37:34.300
 feet

00:37:34.300 --> 00:37:34.920
 to only

00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:36.039
 die there

00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:38.460
 she was

00:37:38.460 --> 00:37:38.980
 risking her

00:37:38.980 --> 00:37:40.039
 very life

00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:41.639
 to do

00:37:41.639 --> 00:37:42.099
 what she

00:37:42.099 --> 00:37:42.719
 said she

00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:43.159
 would do

00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:43.759
 to do

00:37:43.759 --> 00:37:44.739
 and carry

00:37:44.739 --> 00:37:45.320

00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:45.679
 she was

00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:46.119
 dreaming

00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:46.840
 would happen

00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:47.880
 I just

00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:48.679
 touch the

00:37:48.679 --> 00:37:49.320
 hem of

00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:49.579
 his

00:37:49.579 --> 00:37:50.360
 garment

00:37:55.940 --> 00:37:56.239
 at this

00:37:56.239 --> 00:37:56.679
 point would

 tell you

00:37:57.179 --> 00:37:58.199

00:37:59.320 --> 00:37:59.659
 garment

00:37:59.659 --> 00:38:00.480
 and it

00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:00.719
 makes

00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:01.440
 absolutely

00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:01.820
 no

00:38:01.820 --> 00:38:02.380
 difference

00:38:04.259 --> 00:38:04.639
 hem

00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:05.360

00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:06.559
 or where

00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:07.099
 it was

00:38:07.099 --> 00:38:08.360
 but she

00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:08.840
 got to

00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:09.079
 it

00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:11.660

00:38:11.660 --> 00:38:12.420
 immediately

00:38:12.420 --> 00:38:13.000
 Jesus

00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:13.519
 knew

00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:18.599
 different

00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:20.480

00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:21.420
 turns around

00:38:21.420 --> 00:38:23.480
 and he

00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:23.720
 says

00:38:23.720 --> 00:38:24.260
 who

00:38:24.260 --> 00:38:25.140
 touched

 my
