052: Dennis Gillet – Faith At Rock Bottom

1
00:00:00,300 –> 00:00:04,500
Welcome to the good crew selfie
and talks podcast special

2
00:00:04,500 –> 00:00:08,700
specials.
This is our special one-year

3
00:00:08,700 –> 00:00:11,400
anniversary episode.
That’s pretty cool.

4
00:00:11,800 –> 00:00:15,700
So we’re together here at the
table and excited to take a look

5
00:00:15,700 –> 00:00:18,400
a couple things.
We are going to be playing a

6
00:00:18,400 –> 00:00:21,200
talk from brother Dennis galette
Faith It Rock Bottom or

7
00:00:21,200 –> 00:00:23,700
rock-bottom.
Faith is from 1974.

8
00:00:23,700 –> 00:00:25,400
I believe I’m saying that I’ve
taught my head and did not

9
00:00:25,400 –> 00:00:28,800
prepare but that will be after
this so, we’re not sure how long

10
00:00:28,800 –> 00:00:30,900
this this intro be.
Going to run through some of the

11
00:00:30,900 –> 00:00:33,900
numbers and talk about some of
the surprises we’ve had from one

12
00:00:33,900 –> 00:00:35,900
year of the podcast.
But if you don’t want to hear

13
00:00:35,900 –> 00:00:38,700
that stuff, you can just skip
ahead and tell you here Dennis

14
00:00:38,700 –> 00:00:41,600
Colette’s voice are and we’ll
put the timestamp in the show

15
00:00:41,600 –> 00:00:43,000
notes.
Yeah, I’ll stick it in there.

16
00:00:43,000 –> 00:00:46,100
So most podcast apps will hyper
link that you can click on it

17
00:00:46,100 –> 00:00:48,100
and we’ll jump right to the time
that that’s down there.

18
00:00:48,100 –> 00:00:54,000
So 52 episodes a year worth of
doing one talk a week pretty

19
00:00:54,000 –> 00:00:56,400
crazy.
So first off just thank you to

20
00:00:57,400 –> 00:01:02,100
everybody who’s been listening.
We’re a averaging over 500

21
00:01:02,100 –> 00:01:05,200
listens, which is crazy.
So yeah absolutely nuts did not

22
00:01:05,200 –> 00:01:08,900
expect that and I guess we also
now should thank thank the Lord

23
00:01:08,900 –> 00:01:12,200
for for blessing this project.
It’s not it is something that we

24
00:01:12,200 –> 00:01:15,700
did not expect the the we didn’t
expect the reception that it’s

25
00:01:15,700 –> 00:01:19,400
had and how many people have
been enjoying it and how helpful

26
00:01:19,400 –> 00:01:21,300
is been.
It’s been helpful for us to we

27
00:01:21,300 –> 00:01:24,900
always say how this is a been a
blessing in our lives as well.

28
00:01:24,900 –> 00:01:28,800
So it’s a great great thing and
like we say in our normal intro.

29
00:01:28,800 –> 00:01:31,500
It just helps us get it.
Get the word of God into our

30
00:01:31,500 –> 00:01:36,300
daily news feed and so thank you
for listening and for so many

31
00:01:36,300 –> 00:01:40,700
suggestions for so many classes.
That really is what we rely on

32
00:01:40,700 –> 00:01:43,200
at this point.
I would say yeah, it’s

33
00:01:43,200 –> 00:01:46,400
definitely something we depend
on there’s a there several

34
00:01:46,400 –> 00:01:49,700
people that have made multiple
suggestions on that people send

35
00:01:49,700 –> 00:01:51,700
suggestions and they’ll have
three or four classes and that

36
00:01:51,700 –> 00:01:54,100
which is awesome.
So, you know who you are.

37
00:01:54,200 –> 00:01:56,600
We only call anybody out, but
thank you for that.

38
00:01:56,800 –> 00:01:59,600
It’s got an interesting also
digging into all the different

39
00:01:59,600 –> 00:02:03,300
kind.
The Archives of Adelphia finding

40
00:02:03,800 –> 00:02:06,200
kind of uncovered gems but also
having people suggest things

41
00:02:06,200 –> 00:02:09,199
that have been really impactful
them more recently so it’s kind

42
00:02:09,199 –> 00:02:14,400
of like we’re getting the pulse
of christadelphians what people

43
00:02:14,400 –> 00:02:18,000
are thinking yeah, it’s been
good and you know on our little

44
00:02:18,500 –> 00:02:21,100
web site internal website that
we share we used to have just a

45
00:02:21,108 –> 00:02:23,200
couple places where you can get
talks now, we’ve got like a big

46
00:02:23,200 –> 00:02:26,400
old list, which is also great.
So, thank you too for those

47
00:02:26,400 –> 00:02:30,800
suggestions for those resources.
We find we find out about

48
00:02:30,800 –> 00:02:33,800
foreclosures that host their
talks and expectations and

49
00:02:33,800 –> 00:02:35,500
things every once in a while.
Someone will save old.

50
00:02:35,600 –> 00:02:38,300
I heard this really good one in
that a brother gave here’s the

51
00:02:38,300 –> 00:02:40,300
website and here’s how to find
the download link.

52
00:02:40,900 –> 00:02:44,600
So that’s something that has
been really cool to see just how

53
00:02:44,600 –> 00:02:49,500
many sort of untapped locations.
There are makes it exciting for

54
00:02:49,500 –> 00:02:52,300
us as we go forward because you
know 52 episodes in and there’s

55
00:02:52,500 –> 00:02:55,600
the list of potential classes.
We still have probably well over

56
00:02:55,600 –> 00:02:58,400
20 right now, and we’re getting
new suggestions all the time.

57
00:02:59,000 –> 00:03:01,000
So we’re going to run through or
just going to discuss just some

58
00:03:01,000 –> 00:03:04,300
of the numbers share some of the
numbers that anchor gives us

59
00:03:04,900 –> 00:03:07,600
will go over some of our biggest
surprises.

60
00:03:07,700 –> 00:03:10,600
I would say from doing this for
a year talk about a couple ideas

61
00:03:10,600 –> 00:03:12,700
for the future whether or not
we’re committed to them or not.

62
00:03:12,700 –> 00:03:16,700
Who knows but that just some
ideas the future and call up

63
00:03:16,700 –> 00:03:20,500
talk about other podcasts that
we’ve got around and then and

64
00:03:20,500 –> 00:03:22,000
then we’ll get to this dance
Colette class.

65
00:03:22,000 –> 00:03:24,100
So but yeah, let’s run through
some numbers.

66
00:03:24,300 –> 00:03:28,200
So I think one of the things
that’s that’s blown us away.

67
00:03:28,500 –> 00:03:31,900
Has been the just the reach of
the of the podcasts I mean

68
00:03:32,400 –> 00:03:35,200
podcasting is a really cool
format because it’s something

69
00:03:35,200 –> 00:03:36,700
you can do while you’re doing
other things whether you’re

70
00:03:36,700 –> 00:03:39,100
driving to work or doing
something where you don’t need

71
00:03:39,100 –> 00:03:42,600
to focus your entire mind on it.
So I think it’s a medium that is

72
00:03:42,600 –> 00:03:47,200
a as a whole is growing and in
the course of a year, we have

73
00:03:47,200 –> 00:03:51,300
over 30 thousand downloads total
for the entire podcast for all

74
00:03:51,300 –> 00:03:54,500
52 at our 51 episodes.
I said, that’s crazy.

75
00:03:54,600 –> 00:03:58,400
That’s what I’m just nuts.
We are number one podcast.

76
00:03:58,500 –> 00:04:03,200
Is the first episode bye brother
Bob Lloyd which is it just

77
00:04:03,200 –> 00:04:07,500
crossed the 1,000 download Mark
and really there’s not that many

78
00:04:07,500 –> 00:04:10,100
crystal like there’s there’s
like 60,000 Chris Elkins.

79
00:04:10,100 –> 00:04:13,700
We think in the world, you know
just about and we have we have

80
00:04:13,700 –> 00:04:16,399
an episode that has a thousand
downloads icaria thousand

81
00:04:16,399 –> 00:04:18,100
downloads.
It’s just never would have

82
00:04:18,100 –> 00:04:23,200
expected that at all.
It’s also really amazing because

83
00:04:23,200 –> 00:04:26,000
you know, Levi and I are both
from California in the United

84
00:04:26,000 –> 00:04:31,200
States, but how widespread Fred
it is globally were able to see

85
00:04:31,200 –> 00:04:33,600
some information about the
countries and where the

86
00:04:33,600 –> 00:04:35,800
downloads are coming from and
you know, obviously a big chunk

87
00:04:35,800 –> 00:04:39,700
comes to the United States, but
I’d say probably from just kind

88
00:04:39,700 –> 00:04:43,600
of skimming the numbers on oh 30
to 40 percent or Australia UK

89
00:04:43,600 –> 00:04:47,000
Canada, but then all the way to
pretty much any country.

90
00:04:47,000 –> 00:04:49,800
You could think of Ireland.
Yeah, maybe people must for

91
00:04:49,800 –> 00:04:54,000
downloading it randomly or where
when people are traveling like I

92
00:04:54,000 –> 00:04:56,000
travel to Spain last summer and
download an episode.

93
00:04:56,000 –> 00:04:58,900
So it shows that someone in
Spain download an It was

94
00:04:58,900 –> 00:05:03,000
probably me.
But but yeah to use it.

95
00:05:03,000 –> 00:05:06,900
Like you said a full 20% of our
listeners download or 20% of our

96
00:05:06,908 –> 00:05:12,000
downloads are from Australia.
So thank you to our friends down

97
00:05:12,000 –> 00:05:17,500
under but yeah, so that 30,000
divided by 52 is 576 and that’s

98
00:05:17,900 –> 00:05:21,900
that’s what we think is
essentially the weekly support

99
00:05:21,900 –> 00:05:25,700
is 776 which is again, if you
put that in that 60,000 number,

100
00:05:25,700 –> 00:05:28,300
it’s like one out of a hundred
christadelphians.

101
00:05:28,400 –> 00:05:29,700
Ins to the shelves that’s
amazing.

102
00:05:29,700 –> 00:05:32,400
I just again we’re not saying
these numbers out of Pride.

103
00:05:32,600 –> 00:05:35,300
This is just something that we
literally talked about doing

104
00:05:35,300 –> 00:05:38,400
this and said if 50 people
benefit from this then it was

105
00:05:38,400 –> 00:05:40,400
worth it, you know because it’d
be worth it to us to listen to

106
00:05:40,400 –> 00:05:42,500
the classes.
So we’re just so happy that it

107
00:05:42,500 –> 00:05:47,000
really has been a need that has
been that has helped people and

108
00:05:47,000 –> 00:05:51,000
has been responded to because I
I think I think we I think I

109
00:05:51,000 –> 00:05:53,300
remember saying out loud if it
we listen to it I’ll keep doing

110
00:05:53,300 –> 00:05:55,400
it but I’ll probably won’t do it
for less than 50.

111
00:05:55,700 –> 00:05:59,300
Like I think I think we had that
conversation because Yeah, you

112
00:05:59,300 –> 00:06:01,500
know a year ago and we thought
we’d give it a try and if we get

113
00:06:01,500 –> 00:06:04,700
50 people it’s worth it and it’s
just really cool to see to see

114
00:06:04,700 –> 00:06:07,200
so many people benefiting from
it is a good idea and we were

115
00:06:07,208 –> 00:06:10,600
talking the other day and I did
not remember Chris reminded me

116
00:06:10,600 –> 00:06:14,600
whose idea it was I could not
remember whose idea was we were

117
00:06:14,600 –> 00:06:16,600
standing with you.
Well, you tell a story we were

118
00:06:16,600 –> 00:06:20,400
standing with Andrew Styles.
Yeah, so it was a little over a

119
00:06:20,400 –> 00:06:23,300
year ago a year and a half ago.
We were at Men’s camp out that

120
00:06:23,300 –> 00:06:27,100
we do in California Lake Cachuma
and we were standing around the

121
00:06:27,100 –> 00:06:30,700
campfire and And if I remember
correctly, I ended up putting on

122
00:06:30,700 –> 00:06:33,500
the conversation that levite
Andrew having about Christian

123
00:06:33,500 –> 00:06:36,700
Bible talks that he helps
maintain and hoods Andrew Stiles

124
00:06:36,700 –> 00:06:40,000
runs that website and very
popular here in North America.

125
00:06:40,000 –> 00:06:43,200
And I think the conversation was
just it started with kind of

126
00:06:43,200 –> 00:06:46,100
like how many what were the top
classes that were downloaded

127
00:06:46,100 –> 00:06:49,600
from his sight and I don’t
remember which one of us

128
00:06:49,600 –> 00:06:51,700
throughout the idea like, oh,
you know, we should find a

129
00:06:51,708 –> 00:06:54,600
better way to make those classes
be accessible whether it’s like,

130
00:06:54,608 –> 00:06:57,400
you know, we have a like a
podcast feed off of the website

131
00:06:57,400 –> 00:07:00,200
and we’re kind of You know it
kind of talking it out and you

132
00:07:00,200 –> 00:07:02,900
know, but we were kind of we
ended up it was one of those

133
00:07:02,900 –> 00:07:05,400
things where everybody just
started kind of thrown in some

134
00:07:05,400 –> 00:07:08,200
ideas and saying like, oh, you
know, we should kind of curate

135
00:07:08,200 –> 00:07:10,600
it and try to pick out like the
best ones because you know as

136
00:07:10,600 –> 00:07:14,600
Levi kind of says in you know,
when we did our trailer a year

137
00:07:14,600 –> 00:07:17,100
ago it was you know, if somebody
sends you a class and says this

138
00:07:17,100 –> 00:07:20,300
class is awesome then so much
why likely to listen to exactly

139
00:07:20,300 –> 00:07:22,900
which is essentially why we call
it good Chris selfie and talked

140
00:07:22,900 –> 00:07:25,200
sadly.
So and then I think what ended

141
00:07:25,200 –> 00:07:27,400
up happening is if either one of
us had said by ourselves we were

142
00:07:27,400 –> 00:07:29,900
going to do it.
You know, it’s the the classic

143
00:07:29,900 –> 00:07:31,600
flower.
If you say tell you if the only

144
00:07:31,600 –> 00:07:34,000
person involved in a project
yourself, you’re never going to

145
00:07:34,000 –> 00:07:36,000
move forward, but yeah, and I
held each other accountable.

146
00:07:36,000 –> 00:07:39,500
So when one of us would sort of
maybe not push through the other

147
00:07:39,500 –> 00:07:42,200
one be like, yeah, we’ll take
care of this and I like to plan

148
00:07:42,200 –> 00:07:44,800
and overanalyze things.
So I remember leave I was like,

149
00:07:44,900 –> 00:07:47,400
all right.
I set up a Gmail account and we

150
00:07:47,400 –> 00:07:50,100
signed up for anchor so I was
like, oh, I guess we’re doing

151
00:07:50,100 –> 00:07:53,100
this.
So and then, you know, we just

152
00:07:53,100 –> 00:07:54,600
kind of we recorded the first
intro.

153
00:07:54,600 –> 00:07:57,400
We just kind of threw I think we
recorded off there’s my phone.

154
00:07:57,400 –> 00:08:01,200
Yeah for phone for First one
just yeah, I don’t so so anyways

155
00:08:01,200 –> 00:08:03,800
again, it’s been great.
And we do we are happy that has

156
00:08:03,800 –> 00:08:06,700
been so helpful.
So our biggest surprise is I

157
00:08:06,708 –> 00:08:10,000
think what Beyond we I guess I
said it just the reception has

158
00:08:10,200 –> 00:08:11,200
definitely been my biggest
surprise.

159
00:08:11,200 –> 00:08:15,500
I did not expect that at all.
I did expect to how hard it

160
00:08:15,500 –> 00:08:18,100
would be for me to get used to
listening to as many classes as

161
00:08:18,100 –> 00:08:20,500
we have.
We met has been a struggle for

162
00:08:20,500 –> 00:08:24,600
us will admit that we do Shoot
To Each listen to 5, but we

163
00:08:24,600 –> 00:08:27,700
often do less than that.
And again, that’s really why we

164
00:08:27,700 –> 00:08:29,300
live off.
Questions is because when we get

165
00:08:29,300 –> 00:08:31,200
a suggestion that we find a
good, you know, we know that

166
00:08:31,200 –> 00:08:34,000
one’s good and we both listen to
it and then we try to post it so

167
00:08:34,000 –> 00:08:38,000
that it does not a surprise but
what hasn’t that’s a challenge

168
00:08:38,000 –> 00:08:40,700
some weeks.
I’ve been surprised at how you

169
00:08:40,700 –> 00:08:44,100
know, if guess our favorite
episodes and that many of them

170
00:08:44,100 –> 00:08:46,000
it’s actually kind of hard to
one of the things we want to

171
00:08:46,000 –> 00:08:48,000
talk about is like which
episodes we look back at that.

172
00:08:48,000 –> 00:08:51,300
Oh, yeah kind of either the ones
that were surprised because some

173
00:08:51,300 –> 00:08:54,600
of the classes that we’ve posted
have been definitely some of our

174
00:08:54,600 –> 00:08:57,100
longtime favorites, you know,
the right Bob load when we ride

175
00:08:57,100 –> 00:08:58,400
with was a favorite of both of
ours.

176
00:08:58,400 –> 00:09:00,800
Just write that particular
service he’d given several

177
00:09:00,800 –> 00:09:03,500
times.
But I know I know for myself The

178
00:09:03,500 –> 00:09:05,500
The J the J.
Make one with the burning bush.

179
00:09:05,600 –> 00:09:08,500
I really really enjoyed just
because of the it was a good

180
00:09:08,500 –> 00:09:11,100
blend of kind of personal
testimonial Bible study and

181
00:09:11,100 –> 00:09:13,500
practical application, which I
really enjoyed but there’s tons

182
00:09:13,500 –> 00:09:16,200
of other ones.
But yeah, I was I’ve been

183
00:09:16,200 –> 00:09:20,900
floored by the he is able by
Harry tenant, which is on the on

184
00:09:20,900 –> 00:09:23,700
the feed that that was such a
good class.

185
00:09:23,700 –> 00:09:25,800
That’s probably one of the ones
I’ve listened to more than once

186
00:09:25,800 –> 00:09:28,200
since we started and then the
other one was filled.

187
00:09:28,300 –> 00:09:30,700
Brother Phil Davidson recently
talking about depression.

188
00:09:30,700 –> 00:09:32,800
I think that class was awesome.
Just really really good.

189
00:09:32,800 –> 00:09:35,500
We got a lot of good feedback on
that and I wish we had more

190
00:09:35,800 –> 00:09:38,400
classes like that brother and
talking about, you know, Jaipur

191
00:09:38,400 –> 00:09:42,000
practical issues as ably as he
did.

192
00:09:42,000 –> 00:09:44,700
He did such a good job on at
once and it was definitely one

193
00:09:44,700 –> 00:09:48,300
that that resonated with a lot
of people and it’s probably been

194
00:09:48,300 –> 00:09:52,500
the number one episode that I’ve
had people come up to me or

195
00:09:52,500 –> 00:09:56,300
reach out to me or reach out to
us through social media or

196
00:09:56,300 –> 00:09:58,200
whatever and say like how much
they appreciated.

197
00:09:58,400 –> 00:10:02,800
That class in particular.
So we’re glad that that was you

198
00:10:02,800 –> 00:10:04,800
know, that brother Phil gave
that class.

199
00:10:04,800 –> 00:10:07,800
Yeah, and that that was a
suggestion wasn’t it?

200
00:10:07,800 –> 00:10:09,700
That was a suggestion.
Yeah, we got that in an email

201
00:10:09,700 –> 00:10:12,500
box in the email box.
Harrington was also He’s Able is

202
00:10:12,500 –> 00:10:13,900
also a suggestion all that’s
right.

203
00:10:13,900 –> 00:10:15,800
That was a that’s an excellent
class.

204
00:10:16,000 –> 00:10:18,200
Yeah.
So what are our plans for the

205
00:10:18,200 –> 00:10:21,500
future some of the some of the
ideas that we’ve been throwing

206
00:10:21,500 –> 00:10:25,600
around that I’ve been planning
in this kind of segues into how

207
00:10:25,600 –> 00:10:28,900
many other podcasts because
Delphine Cast doubt on whether

208
00:10:28,900 –> 00:10:31,000
they were out there and we just
weren’t aware of it or have sort

209
00:10:31,000 –> 00:10:34,200
of Spun up in the in the last
year as the media kind of has

210
00:10:34,200 –> 00:10:37,000
taken off.
But one of the ideas that I’m

211
00:10:37,000 –> 00:10:41,200
currently working on is getting
a both a website that we will

212
00:10:41,200 –> 00:10:45,000
host podcast feeds off to make
it a little bit easier for

213
00:10:45,000 –> 00:10:48,300
people to find have some of the
slides and other information to

214
00:10:48,300 –> 00:10:50,300
some people have content have
asked about that and it’s a

215
00:10:50,300 –> 00:10:52,600
little tricky to link to that
when it’s in random places.

216
00:10:52,600 –> 00:10:55,900
So have it be hosted in one
central place an actual an

217
00:10:55,900 –> 00:10:57,900
actual website.
Not just an anchor website for

218
00:10:57,900 –> 00:11:01,000
our for Podcast but then also
your sanding of one for all the

219
00:11:01,200 –> 00:11:05,300
LM podcasts and then also to be
able to link because the number

220
00:11:05,300 –> 00:11:08,000
of Crystal pin podcast that have
that have popped up.

221
00:11:08,500 –> 00:11:12,400
Yeah has been has been amazing.
So we try to give shout outs to

222
00:11:12,400 –> 00:11:15,400
the different ones just because
you know, not everybody not

223
00:11:15,400 –> 00:11:18,000
everybody necessarily always has
the time or the attention to

224
00:11:18,000 –> 00:11:23,400
want to listen to an hour plus
so I know so even had since the

225
00:11:23,400 –> 00:11:25,400
first one was pause to consider.
Yes.

226
00:11:25,400 –> 00:11:27,100
I stand who was our one of our
guest host.

227
00:11:27,100 –> 00:11:28,200
So that’s actually one of our
other.

228
00:11:28,300 –> 00:11:33,100
Other potential plans for the
future is having if if you are

229
00:11:33,100 –> 00:11:36,900
comfortable doing that type of
thing in are interested.

230
00:11:36,900 –> 00:11:38,900
Feel free to reach out to us.
I think it’s something we

231
00:11:38,900 –> 00:11:41,300
enjoyed having Sam on.
Yeah two weeks.

232
00:11:41,300 –> 00:11:45,700
Yeah to have other guests hosts
introduce a class that they

233
00:11:45,700 –> 00:11:49,000
found particularly impressive or
yeah.

234
00:11:49,100 –> 00:11:51,000
No, that was great hers.
And I said I’d like to do that

235
00:11:51,000 –> 00:11:51,700
again.
Yeah.

236
00:11:51,900 –> 00:11:52,900
Okay.
Let’s run down these other

237
00:11:52,900 –> 00:11:55,000
podcasts.
Yeah, definitely so pause to

238
00:11:55,000 –> 00:11:57,100
consider by Sam Taylor
definitely check that one out

239
00:11:57,100 –> 00:12:00,800
and that’s where saying check.
Look search all of these if you

240
00:12:00,800 –> 00:12:03,900
want more these other brothers
and sisters are doing really

241
00:12:03,900 –> 00:12:07,200
good work by by almost being
more creative even than we are

242
00:12:07,200 –> 00:12:11,000
and having Sam’s doing full-on
devotionals and they’re actually

243
00:12:11,000 –> 00:12:14,100
they’re totally excellent and
encouraging so pause to consider

244
00:12:14,100 –> 00:12:15,800
by Sam Taylor.
There’s a there’s a podcast

245
00:12:15,800 –> 00:12:18,700
called new Every Morning by a
group of sisters in Australia

246
00:12:18,700 –> 00:12:22,300
who don’t put their names on the
show, but they have an email

247
00:12:22,300 –> 00:12:25,600
address you can email and then
Discerning daughters by sister

248
00:12:25,600 –> 00:12:29,700
Rachel Adams in New Jersey and I
should say both of those are

249
00:12:29,700 –> 00:12:33,400
particularly unique and they’re
both podcasts by sisters for

250
00:12:33,400 –> 00:12:37,000
sisters, which is something that
you know, I think is is good

251
00:12:37,000 –> 00:12:39,100
because it gives everybody an
opportunity.

252
00:12:39,100 –> 00:12:41,700
That’s kind of the one of the
beauties of the podcast media is

253
00:12:41,700 –> 00:12:43,900
like if you’ve got something
that you can press record on

254
00:12:43,900 –> 00:12:46,800
yeah, especially with anchor
making it so easy for you to get

255
00:12:46,800 –> 00:12:51,600
a feed up that you know, anybody
whatever spin you’ve got on

256
00:12:51,600 –> 00:12:53,400
something you can you can either
something.

257
00:12:53,400 –> 00:12:57,300
So the essential bioassays
podcasts by brother Tim Young

258
00:12:58,300 –> 00:13:00,700
The from the plant there’s a
podcast in England called from

259
00:13:00,700 –> 00:13:05,100
the platform by Tom peel
discussing the Chris – kind of

260
00:13:05,100 –> 00:13:09,100
community and then I’m on
another podcast which we’re just

261
00:13:09,100 –> 00:13:11,100
now getting off the ground
called a little faith.

262
00:13:11,500 –> 00:13:14,000
You can search a little faith we
have we’re going to be posting

263
00:13:14,000 –> 00:13:17,200
episodes pretty quickly.
Now, we posed an introduction to

264
00:13:17,200 –> 00:13:20,000
months ago, but the other
episodes are coming winter was

265
00:13:20,000 –> 00:13:23,500
great getting off to getting off
the ground now so so yeah, it’s

266
00:13:23,500 –> 00:13:26,400
like you said a lot of those
have started in this last year

267
00:13:27,200 –> 00:13:29,500
kind of along with us.
The same, you know, same

268
00:13:29,500 –> 00:13:33,400
graduating class if you will
podcasts and and we definitely

269
00:13:33,400 –> 00:13:36,200
suggest all of them.
We both have long commutes.

270
00:13:36,200 –> 00:13:38,500
I mean that’s that’s what it
comes down to is Chris and I

271
00:13:38,500 –> 00:13:41,700
both Drive 45 minutes an hour
each way each day.

272
00:13:41,700 –> 00:13:47,000
So we are the biggest fans of
these shows to you know to again

273
00:13:47,000 –> 00:13:51,800
get more positive things in our
in our brains, so definitely

274
00:13:52,600 –> 00:13:55,200
well that I so yeah.
Thanks for listening to all that

275
00:13:55,200 –> 00:13:58,100
we still do have a class here by
brother Dan.

276
00:13:58,300 –> 00:14:02,000
The wet and it’s an excellent
one on the things that can hurt

277
00:14:02,000 –> 00:14:05,000
our faith and how to build our
faith back up called Faith at

278
00:14:05,000 –> 00:14:08,100
Rock Bottom.
I did this class is slightly

279
00:14:08,100 –> 00:14:13,100
challenging just in Dennis’s
words are so beautiful and

280
00:14:13,100 –> 00:14:15,900
poetic just like his writing but
his speaking is the same way

281
00:14:15,900 –> 00:14:18,300
like it’s not like a normal
speaking English.

282
00:14:18,500 –> 00:14:21,500
It is an older English.
It’s from the 70s, but also, I

283
00:14:21,500 –> 00:14:26,000
believe just his style is very
deliberate and poetic but I

284
00:14:26,008 –> 00:14:28,100
still found this class to be
incredibly beneficial.

285
00:14:28,200 –> 00:14:32,300
Official so this is what will
post for class 52 and here’s I

286
00:14:32,300 –> 00:14:34,000
guess we’ll probably learn a
special episode of hundred.

287
00:14:34,000 –> 00:14:39,700
I would say probably not episode
104, but we’ll see we’ll see if

288
00:14:39,700 –> 00:14:43,500
we really do a 15-minute and
detailed report every year.

289
00:14:43,500 –> 00:14:46,800
But yeah, but again, thank you
to everybody a please keep

290
00:14:46,800 –> 00:14:49,300
sending your suggestions posting
on Facebook and all that is a

291
00:14:49,308 –> 00:14:51,700
huge help to us.
Yeah, definitely any any

292
00:14:51,700 –> 00:14:54,400
questions or anything or if
there’s any suggestions you have

293
00:14:54,400 –> 00:14:57,700
for for the format or anything
else like that, or even I’ve had

294
00:14:57,700 –> 00:15:00,400
a couple of you Suggestions for
different ideas for podcast

295
00:15:00,400 –> 00:15:04,200
things for some people the
format is intimidating being in

296
00:15:04,200 –> 00:15:07,700
front of a microphone and
talking so, you know, feel free

297
00:15:07,700 –> 00:15:10,700
to throw I crazy ideas that you
have about other things you

298
00:15:10,700 –> 00:15:14,100
might want to do and who knows
we might be able to pull

299
00:15:14,100 –> 00:15:17,700
something together.
So thank you again both to

300
00:15:17,700 –> 00:15:21,000
everyone who’s listening and to
to God for blessing the effort

301
00:15:21,000 –> 00:15:23,300
bring it bring forth the
increase for us as we as we go

302
00:15:23,300 –> 00:15:24,800
forward.
It’s been amazing.

303
00:15:25,000 –> 00:15:28,100
Absolutely.
Here’s brother Dennis galette.

304
00:15:28,500 –> 00:15:32,600
From the faith of those who have
joined us today and haven’t been

305
00:15:32,600 –> 00:15:36,400
able to join us in the mornings
this week May.

306
00:15:36,400 –> 00:15:40,100
I just remind you of the
principles which underlie these

307
00:15:40,100 –> 00:15:47,100
addresses on Deuteronomy.
They are based on the idea that

308
00:15:47,200 –> 00:15:51,600
in the book of Deuteronomy.
There are words which are

309
00:15:51,800 –> 00:15:56,700
Central and fundamental to the
discipleship of Christ.

310
00:15:57,800 –> 00:16:02,400
They were spoken a long time ago
measured in human time, but they

311
00:16:02,400 –> 00:16:06,200
were not spoken incidentally.
They were not spoken

312
00:16:06,200 –> 00:16:11,200
dispensation Ali they were
spoken essentially they were

313
00:16:11,200 –> 00:16:16,200
spoken universally because They
were spoken on the basis of

314
00:16:16,200 –> 00:16:21,900
principles which are perpetual
and Timeless things which were

315
00:16:21,900 –> 00:16:25,200
true then and things which are
true.

316
00:16:25,200 –> 00:16:28,000
Now upon that basis.
Therefore.

317
00:16:28,000 –> 00:16:34,400
These addresses are based.
So today we are to think about

318
00:16:34,400 –> 00:16:39,600
faith faith.
First of all descending and then

319
00:16:39,600 –> 00:16:47,800
Faith at last ascending.
There is no doubt and I think

320
00:16:47,800 –> 00:16:51,800
you have no doubt that in the
life of discipleship.

321
00:16:51,800 –> 00:16:57,400
Faith is a real source of
strength gout gout has the

322
00:16:57,400 –> 00:17:02,800
effect of cramping out energy
Faith as the effect of expanding

323
00:17:02,800 –> 00:17:08,500
it trust is power.
All things are possible to him

324
00:17:08,700 –> 00:17:13,099
that believeth disciples are
called upon to overcome.

325
00:17:13,400 –> 00:17:16,800
They are called upon to On the
forces which apart from God

326
00:17:16,800 –> 00:17:21,800
would bring them to Doom when
the saints are gathered for the

327
00:17:21,800 –> 00:17:27,000
final song upon Mount Zion the
song of Triumph as I said before

328
00:17:27,000 –> 00:17:29,500
it’s not going to be a great
bath chair rally.

329
00:17:29,900 –> 00:17:31,700
It’s not a gathering of the
cripples.

330
00:17:32,000 –> 00:17:35,400
It’s the Gathering of those who
have Triumph those who have

331
00:17:35,400 –> 00:17:38,700
overcome as their lord is
Victorious.

332
00:17:38,900 –> 00:17:43,700
So are they to be remember
Revelation chapter 3 verse 21,

333
00:17:43,900 –> 00:17:48,800
he that Overcometh I will deal
hit give him to sit down with me

334
00:17:48,800 –> 00:17:56,400
in my Throne as I also overcame
and sat down with my father in

335
00:17:56,400 –> 00:18:02,800
his throne so we can mark the
quality of the victory as I also

336
00:18:03,000 –> 00:18:04,800
overcame.
Now.

337
00:18:04,800 –> 00:18:09,600
It’s the Apostle John that fixes
for us the power which brings

338
00:18:09,600 –> 00:18:12,900
Victory.
He says this is the victory

339
00:18:12,900 –> 00:18:20,000
which overcometh the world.
Old even our faith and why is

340
00:18:20,000 –> 00:18:23,600
that?
Well, it’s because faith is the

341
00:18:23,600 –> 00:18:28,300
Assurance of things hoped for by
The Proving of things not seen

342
00:18:28,700 –> 00:18:30,900
in order to have triumphing
faith.

343
00:18:31,200 –> 00:18:35,400
You must have the capacity to
see the invisible and according

344
00:18:35,400 –> 00:18:40,800
to their Vision men are
empowered and so it was with

345
00:18:40,800 –> 00:18:44,700
those Heroes and heroines which
are cataloged in Hebrews 11.

346
00:18:44,800 –> 00:18:48,900
Heaven Abraham left a certain
city for the land that he never

347
00:18:48,900 –> 00:18:53,300
seen them which he did not know.
He began the journey having no

348
00:18:53,300 –> 00:18:58,300
idea where it would lead him if
there had been newspapers in the

349
00:18:58,300 –> 00:19:01,300
day of Abraham.
No doubt one morning in the

350
00:19:01,300 –> 00:19:04,400
called Ian times.
There would have been an article

351
00:19:04,400 –> 00:19:07,500
which begun like this our
respective citizen.

352
00:19:07,500 –> 00:19:10,700
Abraham is leaving us at the end
of the week when our

353
00:19:10,700 –> 00:19:13,300
correspondent asked him where he
was going.

354
00:19:13,500 –> 00:19:20,100
He said he did not No, he was
canceled to take medical advice.

355
00:19:22,900 –> 00:19:29,000
And so measured by the measured
by the moment by the wisdom of

356
00:19:29,000 –> 00:19:33,100
the our measured by the wisdom
of this world men would

357
00:19:33,100 –> 00:19:39,300
doubtless say that Abraham was a
foolish man to leave that place

358
00:19:39,300 –> 00:19:44,100
of stability for a place of
instability that Abraham was

359
00:19:44,100 –> 00:19:49,000
absolutely sure and Abraham was
utterly calm now, why was he so

360
00:19:49,000 –> 00:19:54,600
sure of the Unseen land because
he was so Sure of the Unseen God

361
00:19:55,400 –> 00:19:58,800
when men see the invisible.
They do things which Blind Men

362
00:19:58,800 –> 00:20:04,200
would never contemplate.
Noah did a very strange thing he

363
00:20:04,200 –> 00:20:06,800
built a big liner in the middle
of dry land.

364
00:20:07,400 –> 00:20:10,200
They never thought of building
the Queen Mary at Coventry

365
00:20:10,500 –> 00:20:13,700
because the harbor is a little
shallow in summertime.

366
00:20:14,600 –> 00:20:18,600
Now if there had been newspapers
in the day of Noah one morning

367
00:20:18,600 –> 00:20:22,600
in the Mesopotamian Chronicle,
there would have been an article

368
00:20:22,600 –> 00:20:26,200
or a headline which began like
this the reverent Noah has gone

369
00:20:26,200 –> 00:20:29,600
mad.
Because when men see the

370
00:20:29,600 –> 00:20:32,600
invisible they are able to do
things which other men who

371
00:20:32,600 –> 00:20:37,200
cannot see the invisible count
strange even contradictory even

372
00:20:37,200 –> 00:20:40,700
lunatic.
Noah was utterly sure of the

373
00:20:40,700 –> 00:20:45,400
Unseen flood because he was
utterly sure of the Unseen God

374
00:20:46,100 –> 00:20:50,300
somehow in his deepest heart.
He knew that that is a Madness

375
00:20:50,500 –> 00:20:56,100
which rightly named is the
sublimest sanity think of the

376
00:20:56,100 –> 00:21:00,000
man with the Shepherds.
Cook who turned his back on all

377
00:21:00,000 –> 00:21:04,100
the Splendor of Egypt because he
had respect unto the recompense

378
00:21:04,100 –> 00:21:07,900
of the reward somehow.
He was sure that there is

379
00:21:07,900 –> 00:21:11,800
infinitely more value in
Messiahs reproach than in all

380
00:21:11,800 –> 00:21:15,100
the honor of pharaoh.
He endured as seeing him who is

381
00:21:15,100 –> 00:21:19,200
invisible.
He knew this Moses.

382
00:21:20,000 –> 00:21:28,200
He knew that thin it may be
pleasant for a while, but it Has

383
00:21:28,200 –> 00:21:34,600
a very short season that is
measured by the calendar of

384
00:21:34,600 –> 00:21:40,800
Heaven A very short season.
Or think of the man of Tarsus.

385
00:21:41,300 –> 00:21:45,600
He saw something which his
companions never saw and he was

386
00:21:45,600 –> 00:21:51,200
never the same again.
He tramped over rough roads, he

387
00:21:51,200 –> 00:21:55,600
faced Tempest see and you would
paddle upon pedal more than once

388
00:21:55,600 –> 00:22:00,300
barely escaped with his life
because he was utterly sure of

389
00:22:00,400 –> 00:22:03,500
his King.
He said I know whom I have

390
00:22:03,500 –> 00:22:07,200
believed.
He said neither death nor life

391
00:22:07,200 –> 00:22:11,200
nor angels nor principalities
nor things present nor things to

392
00:22:11,200 –> 00:22:15,200
come nor powers nor height nor
depth nor any other creature is

393
00:22:15,200 –> 00:22:18,800
able to separate us from the
love of God, which is in Christ.

394
00:22:18,800 –> 00:22:23,500
Jesus our lord.
What a splendid confession of

395
00:22:23,500 –> 00:22:28,000
faith that is unshakable Faith
and out of it came alive of

396
00:22:28,200 –> 00:22:35,000
enduring faithfulness, but no
doubt faith is power.

397
00:22:40,200 –> 00:22:43,200
But Brethren and sisters, I
think I know what you are

398
00:22:43,200 –> 00:22:52,000
thinking. because I am thinking
the same myself and I believe I

399
00:22:52,000 –> 00:22:57,700
am normal.
Not many of us not many of us

400
00:22:58,300 –> 00:23:03,000
are able to live at the altitude
which we have just been

401
00:23:03,200 –> 00:23:08,400
recalling.
Not many of us ever get above

402
00:23:08,400 –> 00:23:12,100
the snowline.
Too often.

403
00:23:12,400 –> 00:23:17,600
We are in the valley where the
day is dull and the Safran is

404
00:23:17,600 –> 00:23:25,400
scarce and the stream of life is
rancid and Faith consequently

405
00:23:25,400 –> 00:23:34,300
descends and we think thoughts.
wrong thoughts and we nursed

406
00:23:34,300 –> 00:23:41,100
doubts and we do things which
would make us ashamed in the

407
00:23:41,100 –> 00:23:46,900
presence of Abraham and Noah and
Moses and Paul.

408
00:23:49,900 –> 00:23:57,200
Why does faith descend faith
that begins so brightly so

409
00:23:57,700 –> 00:24:00,500
earnestly.
Why does it descend?

410
00:24:02,000 –> 00:24:07,300
Why does it get dim?
Why do Disciples who were want

411
00:24:07,300 –> 00:24:15,800
strong begin to fail and falter?
Well, first of all, it’s no new

412
00:24:15,800 –> 00:24:17,600
problem.
We can be sure of that.

413
00:24:18,200 –> 00:24:21,300
I can think of to quickly.
I can think of two sentences

414
00:24:21,800 –> 00:24:27,600
from the New Testament.
But tell us it’s no new problem.

415
00:24:29,200 –> 00:24:35,800
Ye were running well.
Who did hinder you?

416
00:24:38,400 –> 00:24:43,800
I have this against thee that
thou didst leave thy first love

417
00:24:45,000 –> 00:24:51,400
so it was so then just as it is
sometimes now, why is it?

418
00:24:52,700 –> 00:24:57,900
Well as it appears to me that
our divers reasons perhaps as

419
00:24:57,900 –> 00:25:01,900
many reasons as there are
different kinds of disciples.

420
00:25:02,900 –> 00:25:05,900
And obviously we cannot think of
all the reasons only some and of

421
00:25:05,900 –> 00:25:15,400
those some only true one.
Very often faith is assaulted by

422
00:25:15,400 –> 00:25:21,900
fear.
Now fear is an Insidious thing.

423
00:25:22,900 –> 00:25:27,600
It saps the strength that
weakens the nerve it dilutes the

424
00:25:27,600 –> 00:25:35,300
resolution through fear man lose
their grip and through fear men

425
00:25:35,300 –> 00:25:40,900
lose their up to medium High
Hopes are dashed.

426
00:25:41,700 –> 00:25:45,100
Loyalty is abandoned through
fear.

427
00:25:48,000 –> 00:25:50,800
Just let me remind you of the
people of God.

428
00:25:52,000 –> 00:25:55,900
People called upon to high
destiny.

429
00:25:57,300 –> 00:26:02,700
And high Enterprise the people
of God have they came to the

430
00:26:02,700 –> 00:26:05,400
margin of the good land that K –
Barney.

431
00:26:06,900 –> 00:26:10,400
They sent spies in to spy out
the land.

432
00:26:11,900 –> 00:26:15,800
And they came back with that
intelligence report in

433
00:26:15,800 –> 00:26:20,300
preparation for the campaign.
I know, you know they came back

434
00:26:20,300 –> 00:26:24,300
with two reports.
There was a majority report in a

435
00:26:24,300 –> 00:26:29,600
Minority Report and they were
almost identical the majority

436
00:26:29,600 –> 00:26:32,500
report said in effect.
It is a good land it flows with

437
00:26:32,500 –> 00:26:34,700
milk and honey the great so
luscious the rivers are

438
00:26:34,700 –> 00:26:40,100
beautiful.
But there are Ward’s scissors

439
00:26:40,100 –> 00:26:44,400
and Giants and we are as
grasshoppers in their sight.

440
00:26:45,000 –> 00:26:49,000
We had better not go.
Let us make a captain and go

441
00:26:49,000 –> 00:26:53,200
back to Egypt.
The Minority Report was almost

442
00:26:53,200 –> 00:26:54,800
the same.
It said it’s a good land that

443
00:26:54,800 –> 00:26:56,900
flows with milk and honey.
The Grapes Elijah’s the rivers

444
00:26:56,900 –> 00:26:59,500
are beautiful.
It is true.

445
00:26:59,500 –> 00:27:04,300
There are World citizen Giants.
And we may look like

446
00:27:04,300 –> 00:27:08,400
grasshoppers, but the Lord Our
God will give us this land.

447
00:27:08,400 –> 00:27:12,000
Let us go in and possess it just
in passing.

448
00:27:14,200 –> 00:27:18,800
The difference between the
majority report and The Minority

449
00:27:18,800 –> 00:27:25,300
Report was the placing of the
little word but in the Bible

450
00:27:25,700 –> 00:27:31,100
every word is important.
They said there are wall citizen

451
00:27:31,100 –> 00:27:33,800
Giants.
No, they said it’s a good land

452
00:27:33,800 –> 00:27:36,500
but there are walls citizen
Giants.

453
00:27:36,900 –> 00:27:41,300
The other said it is a good Land
There are horses and Giants but

454
00:27:41,500 –> 00:27:43,600
the Lord Our God will give us
this land.

455
00:27:44,800 –> 00:27:47,400
Well, it’s to the lasting Shame
of the people of Israel.

456
00:27:47,400 –> 00:27:51,500
As you know, that they chose the
majority report and they chose

457
00:27:51,500 –> 00:27:57,700
it because they were afraid it
was fear that was fear which is

458
00:27:57,700 –> 00:28:00,900
at the root of their failure.
They were afraid of the forces

459
00:28:00,900 –> 00:28:05,100
which were in opposition and in
the face of those forces their

460
00:28:05,200 –> 00:28:09,600
courage melted away.
The Hebrew writer says that they

461
00:28:09,600 –> 00:28:12,800
were not able to enter in
because of unbelief and that

462
00:28:12,800 –> 00:28:18,600
unbelief was rooted in there.
Here it tells us that eroded

463
00:28:18,600 –> 00:28:24,000
faith is a barrier to possession
now what made their failure so

464
00:28:24,000 –> 00:28:27,300
inexcusable, as you know is that
they had received so much

465
00:28:27,300 –> 00:28:31,600
evidence of the invisible God.
Remember faith is the Assurance

466
00:28:31,600 –> 00:28:36,200
of things hoped for by The
Proving of Things Not Seen and

467
00:28:36,200 –> 00:28:38,700
God had given them abundant
proof of his power.

468
00:28:39,100 –> 00:28:42,900
He had given them outstanding
proof of his compassion.

469
00:28:43,200 –> 00:28:46,500
He had parted the Red Sea Seein,
it destroyed that enemies in it.

470
00:28:46,600 –> 00:28:49,900
He delivered them from Egypt
with Mighty power and and with

471
00:28:49,900 –> 00:28:54,600
her stretched out arm and here
they are with no Assurance about

472
00:28:54,600 –> 00:28:58,800
his ability to deal with these
walls citizen these Giants.

473
00:29:00,000 –> 00:29:04,900
They dare not Venture.
They were afraid to venture even

474
00:29:04,900 –> 00:29:08,900
with God.
They forgot his providential

475
00:29:08,900 –> 00:29:14,000
care as I said to you before
they they like the milk and

476
00:29:14,000 –> 00:29:16,600
honey, but they couldn’t forget
the garlic and the leeks and the

477
00:29:16,600 –> 00:29:22,000
onions.
It’s a strange thing that garlic

478
00:29:22,000 –> 00:29:27,900
has come to be the outward sign
of an inward disgrace such was

479
00:29:27,900 –> 00:29:31,100
the tragedy of descending faith
in the people of God.

480
00:29:31,800 –> 00:29:37,800
They turn back from their High
Heritage through fear. fear of

481
00:29:37,800 –> 00:29:42,200
the things that lie ahead and
fear of losing the things that

482
00:29:42,200 –> 00:29:49,700
lay behind Well now discipleship
in Deuteronomy.

483
00:29:50,700 –> 00:29:56,700
Here is the issue.
Dare, we consult our fears in

484
00:29:56,700 –> 00:29:59,700
the life of this and sample of
Israel.

485
00:30:01,300 –> 00:30:05,600
I know the local conditions of
no faded and they are changed

486
00:30:05,600 –> 00:30:11,500
but the principles remain why do
men hold back from venturing in

487
00:30:11,500 –> 00:30:18,100
faith with God?
Sometimes through fear.

488
00:30:21,400 –> 00:30:26,000
So a fear that if they were to
act boldly in faith, they might

489
00:30:26,000 –> 00:30:29,100
expose themselves to some D
privation.

490
00:30:29,800 –> 00:30:33,300
It might mean the last of some
material advantage.

491
00:30:34,700 –> 00:30:41,800
All a fear that the difficulties
might result in some hardship or

492
00:30:41,800 –> 00:30:46,700
some opposition which would hurt
them and which they are not

493
00:30:46,700 –> 00:30:51,600
ready to enjoy.
Oh, I feel that if they declared

494
00:30:51,600 –> 00:30:55,700
themselves openly as their faith
demands then somehow their

495
00:30:55,700 –> 00:31:01,000
reputation would be injured.
All the fact of acting in faith

496
00:31:01,000 –> 00:31:04,100
might mean the repudiation of
some relationship or some

497
00:31:04,100 –> 00:31:09,000
Indulgence which they fear to
relinquish or which they long to

498
00:31:09,000 –> 00:31:14,700
keep.
But then there are other fears

499
00:31:14,700 –> 00:31:22,400
too.
Fear of weakness the by

500
00:31:22,400 –> 00:31:28,000
weakness.
I mean the continual failure to

501
00:31:28,000 –> 00:31:33,100
master forces which assault the
spirit and crushed the soul.

502
00:31:34,800 –> 00:31:38,800
Fear of the unknown looking into
the future and seeing no light.

503
00:31:40,300 –> 00:31:45,200
Or fear of some physical
disability some bodily failure

504
00:31:46,200 –> 00:31:50,000
some doubt problem, which no
human agency is able to solve.

505
00:31:52,300 –> 00:31:55,800
Fear of the things which are
coming on the world fear of

506
00:31:55,800 –> 00:32:01,400
violence fear of evil fear of
that perhaps fear that that

507
00:32:01,400 –> 00:32:08,100
perhaps which began best will
end worse. and then the sphere

508
00:32:08,100 –> 00:32:13,200
about the mystery of sorrow and
pain not only your own pain, but

509
00:32:14,600 –> 00:32:17,800
Feel about the pain and the
sorrow of others.

510
00:32:20,000 –> 00:32:25,700
And then the fear of death.
The Last Enemy not the fear of

511
00:32:25,700 –> 00:32:30,100
death itself, but the feel of
that scrutiny of Life which

512
00:32:30,100 –> 00:32:33,500
death will bring at the Judgment
seat of Christ.

513
00:32:37,700 –> 00:32:44,400
Then the sphere and this is a
real fear.

514
00:32:45,400 –> 00:32:54,200
That is fear my brethren.
Of some upspringing of forces in

515
00:32:54,200 –> 00:33:02,500
a man’s character which are
depraved and degenerate fear of

516
00:33:02,600 –> 00:33:08,800
the emergence of something.
In our personality, which is

517
00:33:08,800 –> 00:33:18,000
slimy and devilish and hateful
now all these fears have the

518
00:33:18,000 –> 00:33:25,100
effect of eroding faith and
dimming the vision so that at

519
00:33:25,100 –> 00:33:31,700
last failure hangs on the heart
like an icicle and the soul of a

520
00:33:31,700 –> 00:33:40,600
man becomes benumbed.
Well that if you remember, it

521
00:33:40,600 –> 00:33:43,600
seems a long time ago.
Now that if you remember was the

522
00:33:43,600 –> 00:33:51,900
first cause of the failure of
Faith fear the second one I

523
00:33:51,908 –> 00:33:59,700
wanted to draw your attention to
Is in the Bible called self

524
00:33:59,700 –> 00:34:04,200
corruption I bring you to
Deuteronomy chapter 4.

525
00:34:12,300 –> 00:34:27,300
Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 25
when thou shalt beget children

526
00:34:27,800 –> 00:34:31,199
and children’s children, and you
shall have been long in the land

527
00:34:31,199 –> 00:34:35,400
and shall corrupt yourselves and
make a Graven image in the form

528
00:34:35,400 –> 00:34:39,400
of anything and shall do that,
which is evil in the sight of

529
00:34:39,400 –> 00:34:42,100
the Lord.
Thy God to provoke him to anger.

530
00:34:43,199 –> 00:34:46,800
I call Heaven and Earth to
witness against you this day

531
00:34:47,199 –> 00:34:49,800
that she shall soon utterly
perish from off the land.

532
00:34:49,800 –> 00:34:52,500
We’re onto you go over Jordan to
possess it.

533
00:34:53,100 –> 00:34:56,500
He shall not prolong your days.
The pain it but shall utterly be

534
00:34:56,500 –> 00:35:00,300
destroyed.
And the Lord shall scatter you

535
00:35:00,300 –> 00:35:03,600
among the peoples and you shall
be left few in number among the

536
00:35:03,600 –> 00:35:09,300
Nations within the Lord shall
lead you away and there you

537
00:35:09,300 –> 00:35:14,200
Shall Serve God’s the work of
men’s hands wood and stone which

538
00:35:14,200 –> 00:35:23,600
neither see nor hear nor heat
nor snare notice the process

539
00:35:24,300 –> 00:35:34,600
when ye have remained long.
In the land what and have begun

540
00:35:34,600 –> 00:35:37,000
to take its blessings for
granted.

541
00:35:40,900 –> 00:35:47,000
When ye shall corrupt yourselves
when ye shall make a Graven

542
00:35:47,000 –> 00:35:51,300
image.
When ye shall do evil in the

543
00:35:51,300 –> 00:35:59,700
sight of the Lord notice the
process of the system. the whole

544
00:35:59,700 –> 00:36:08,800
process began with self
corruption When ye shall corrupt

545
00:36:09,000 –> 00:36:13,800
yourselves.
Now what is self corruption?

546
00:36:16,500 –> 00:36:24,500
Well, here is my definition.
It is giving or using the powers

547
00:36:24,500 –> 00:36:28,800
of your life for something which
is lower than the highest and

548
00:36:28,800 –> 00:36:34,400
the best it is.
In fact the first step in

549
00:36:34,400 –> 00:36:38,500
backsliding you see when a man
takes his eye for what he knows

550
00:36:38,500 –> 00:36:42,200
to be the highest and he is
satisfied with something lower

551
00:36:42,400 –> 00:36:47,800
be the distance have a so small
is Faith is slightly on the

552
00:36:47,800 –> 00:36:52,300
decline.
It’s not a case of having the

553
00:36:52,300 –> 00:36:56,900
ideal unbelieving in the ideal
and falling short of the ideal.

554
00:36:56,900 –> 00:36:59,300
That is one thing that is one
problem.

555
00:36:59,900 –> 00:37:06,200
But that’s not self corruption
self corruption is when a man

556
00:37:07,900 –> 00:37:14,500
put something lower as his ideal
put something lower has is idea

557
00:37:14,500 –> 00:37:17,900
of what God is and what God
requires.

558
00:37:19,500 –> 00:37:23,400
That is to say when he is
corrupted he begins to think

559
00:37:23,400 –> 00:37:29,600
falsely about God and the next
step as the process suggests.

560
00:37:30,200 –> 00:37:33,300
He is beginning to make a God
for himself.

561
00:37:34,700 –> 00:37:38,000
He’s making an image in the
words of Moses.

562
00:37:38,300 –> 00:37:43,700
He is making an image is making
a God after the pattern of his

563
00:37:43,700 –> 00:37:47,400
own reduced and diminished
ideal.

564
00:37:49,200 –> 00:37:54,900
And when he does that he becomes
like his God and sooner or

565
00:37:54,900 –> 00:37:57,500
later.
He is doing something evil witch

566
00:37:57,500 –> 00:37:59,900
at the beginning.
He never dreamt of doing or

567
00:37:59,900 –> 00:38:05,700
intended to do and this sad
process begins ever so slightly

568
00:38:06,400 –> 00:38:10,000
and it begins ever so slightly
with the first calling of the

569
00:38:10,000 –> 00:38:17,700
passion the first diminution of
the enthusiasm the first

570
00:38:19,000 –> 00:38:23,800
Junction of the loyalty to
Christ the accepting of the

571
00:38:23,800 –> 00:38:28,300
compromise coming to terms with
the sin which doth so easily

572
00:38:28,300 –> 00:38:31,700
beset us.
It’s the tragedy of a man who

573
00:38:31,700 –> 00:38:35,700
wears all the externalities of
discipleship, but inwardly he

574
00:38:35,700 –> 00:38:40,100
has lost the thrill inwardly is
lost the passion inwardly.

575
00:38:40,100 –> 00:38:46,100
So help him.
God is bored with the gospel the

576
00:38:46,100 –> 00:38:51,300
devotion which once drove him as
become quiescent.

577
00:38:53,800 –> 00:38:58,600
He’s content with this
self-invented God because as I

578
00:38:58,600 –> 00:39:01,700
said before it’s really a
projection of himself and his

579
00:39:01,700 –> 00:39:04,700
own desires.
It’s God made in his own image.

580
00:39:08,100 –> 00:39:11,000
Now what we ought to be
concerned about my brother and

581
00:39:11,000 –> 00:39:16,600
is this not that great Gulf
which exists between God and the

582
00:39:16,600 –> 00:39:21,400
man who at last overtly and
uncaring Lee does evil in the

583
00:39:21,400 –> 00:39:27,200
sight of the Lord.
Not that great golf what we

584
00:39:27,200 –> 00:39:31,500
ought to be concerned about is
the first step on the descending

585
00:39:31,500 –> 00:39:36,700
path the first dimming of the
bright Faith the first the first

586
00:39:36,700 –> 00:39:41,000
chill wind that blows through a
man’s life which once with warm

587
00:39:41,300 –> 00:39:46,800
warm with love.
Because if that process which

588
00:39:46,800 –> 00:39:51,900
begins ever so slightly if that
process goes on unhindered and

589
00:39:51,900 –> 00:39:56,500
unchecked it results at last in
that condition, which the Hebrew

590
00:39:56,500 –> 00:40:01,200
writer calls in the New
Testament being hardened by the

591
00:40:01,200 –> 00:40:08,300
deceitfulness of sin.
This is a gloomy address, isn’t

592
00:40:08,300 –> 00:40:14,300
it?
If there were no more to be said

593
00:40:14,300 –> 00:40:17,500
on this subject, it would be sad
indeed.

594
00:40:20,000 –> 00:40:28,400
You must think I’m a misery.
But there is more to be said

595
00:40:28,500 –> 00:40:43,100
praise God.
Deuteronomy 4 Let’s read verse

596
00:40:43,100 –> 00:40:54,300
28 again.
And there you Shall Serve gods.

597
00:40:55,900 –> 00:41:04,400
self-made gods insensate gods
they are God’s the work of men’s

598
00:41:04,400 –> 00:41:10,400
hands wood and stone which
neither see nor hear nor eat nor

599
00:41:10,400 –> 00:41:20,000
smell.
Every word in the Bible is

600
00:41:20,000 –> 00:41:39,100
important. notice the next word
but but if from thence.

601
00:41:43,400 –> 00:41:50,400
But if from them social seek the
Lord thy God Thou shalt find him

602
00:41:50,900 –> 00:41:54,500
if those search after him with
all thy heart and with all thy

603
00:41:54,500 –> 00:41:59,600
soul.
But he is from them.

604
00:42:04,000 –> 00:42:09,700
You just think we’re thence was
for these people eventually came

605
00:42:09,700 –> 00:42:14,800
to this condition that Moses had
for warn them about people.

606
00:42:16,300 –> 00:42:22,500
Who were mustard?
By insensate gods who were

607
00:42:22,500 –> 00:42:33,000
themselves the people of Yahweh.
the Living God Where they were

608
00:42:33,700 –> 00:42:40,000
in eventually in some foreign
land far away from Zion in the

609
00:42:40,000 –> 00:42:45,000
very heart of idolatry Mastered
by paganism degenerating.

610
00:42:45,000 –> 00:42:48,000
They were descending men of
vision.

611
00:42:48,000 –> 00:42:50,800
They were men of the highest
Vision.

612
00:42:50,800 –> 00:42:55,300
They were men of noble passions
met Affair ideals.

613
00:42:56,100 –> 00:43:00,200
And here they were languishing
and lost.

614
00:43:02,300 –> 00:43:08,600
How can they sing the songs of
Zion in a Strange Land scattered

615
00:43:08,600 –> 00:43:19,000
for Satan and despised?
But if from thence.

616
00:43:24,400 –> 00:43:29,700
Well, you don’t have to be a
genius in Durban to see that

617
00:43:29,700 –> 00:43:34,700
this is the agony of broken
discipleship wherever it is.

618
00:43:39,600 –> 00:43:42,700
Vince is a wonderfully inclusive
word.

619
00:43:44,000 –> 00:43:46,400
I don’t know where thence is for
any man.

620
00:43:48,300 –> 00:44:00,200
It may be a long way back.
It could be. for some soul in

621
00:44:00,200 –> 00:44:07,000
this house It could be a long
way back where there seemed to

622
00:44:07,000 –> 00:44:08,100
be.
No, hope.

623
00:44:09,900 –> 00:44:13,500
Weather seemed to be no
possibility of restoration.

624
00:44:15,300 –> 00:44:25,500
Where the heart is chilled?
And where the soul is hot and

625
00:44:25,500 –> 00:44:30,400
fevered.
Then said where that poor

626
00:44:30,400 –> 00:44:36,100
wandering boy was eating swinish
husks and his Spirit was broken.

627
00:44:39,700 –> 00:44:45,900
But if from thence Moses said
and he means there is no

628
00:44:46,000 –> 00:44:52,800
situation to hopeless.
Betty has no conditions so hard

629
00:44:53,500 –> 00:44:58,300
that is no failure so dark, but
if there is a searching for God,

630
00:44:58,300 –> 00:45:04,700
he will be found and being found
he will lift up and be a lifting

631
00:45:04,700 –> 00:45:11,100
up he will restore.
If from thence wherever you are

632
00:45:12,100 –> 00:45:16,400
if ye shall seek the Lord thy
God with all thy heart with all

633
00:45:16,408 –> 00:45:22,000
thy whole heart and with thy
whole soul Thou shalt find him.

634
00:45:28,200 –> 00:45:34,200
discipleship and Deuteronomy now
that is in the New Testament.

635
00:45:35,300 –> 00:45:41,100
A word which is the counterpart
of vents in Deuteronomy chapter

636
00:45:41,100 –> 00:45:44,700
4 it is in the seventh chapter
of the Hebrew letter.

637
00:45:52,300 –> 00:46:02,200
Hebrews chapter 7 And it’s verse
25.

638
00:46:11,800 –> 00:46:16,700
Hebrews chapter 7 verse 25
wherefore.

639
00:46:18,000 –> 00:46:24,600
Also he is able to save to the
uttermost then the draw near

640
00:46:24,600 –> 00:46:30,400
unto God through him seeing he
ever liveth to make intercession

641
00:46:30,500 –> 00:46:34,300
for them.
And the word of course is

642
00:46:34,500 –> 00:46:41,400
uttermost.
That is the equivalent of vents.

643
00:46:42,400 –> 00:46:49,200
Because uttermost looks back to
the deepest place of failure

644
00:46:50,600 –> 00:46:53,500
ultimo’s 12 the word speaks for
itself.

645
00:46:54,900 –> 00:47:00,500
It’s as far as you can go.
It breaks through the boundaries

646
00:47:01,200 –> 00:47:06,300
are two most he said it
expresses the power to find the

647
00:47:06,300 –> 00:47:13,300
broken ones wherever they are
our two most he said it it means

648
00:47:13,700 –> 00:47:17,600
that this man’s priesthood
descends deeper than the deepest

649
00:47:17,600 –> 00:47:21,100
sin.
It penetrates every barrier.

650
00:47:21,200 –> 00:47:25,000
It removes every impediment.
It heals every wound.

651
00:47:25,000 –> 00:47:30,100
It finds the Forsaken ones
wherever they may be on though.

652
00:47:30,100 –> 00:47:33,900
They be fear-filled and sin
laid, never mind.

653
00:47:34,300 –> 00:47:41,500
Tim knows he said it means he
finds them and carries them

654
00:47:41,500 –> 00:47:45,500
through the Tempest and over the
rugged Mountain to the place of

655
00:47:45,500 –> 00:47:50,500
sucker and safety over the
rugged mountain.

656
00:47:50,500 –> 00:48:02,900
Did I say?
a figure listen how beautiful

657
00:48:07,300 –> 00:48:12,400
upon the mountain Are the feet
of him?

658
00:48:13,800 –> 00:48:25,500
That bringeth good tidings that
saith unto Zion. vanish that

659
00:48:25,500 –> 00:48:34,400
saith unto Zion in vents by God
reigneth and because God Reigns

660
00:48:34,400 –> 00:48:37,300
the broken soul is never
forsaken.

661
00:48:41,500 –> 00:48:45,600
You see it was not then change
that that poor wandering boy

662
00:48:45,600 –> 00:48:49,900
came to himself and he said I
will arise and I will go to my

663
00:48:49,900 –> 00:48:53,100
father and I will say father.
I have sinned before heaven and

664
00:48:53,100 –> 00:48:55,600
against thee.
I am no more worthy to be

665
00:48:55,600 –> 00:48:58,100
called.
Thy son make me as one of they

666
00:48:58,100 –> 00:49:02,800
hired servants.
I expect you’ve noticed you he

667
00:49:02,800 –> 00:49:05,700
was never able to finish the
sentence.

668
00:49:05,700 –> 00:49:09,900
He’s resolved in practiced.
The sentence was interrupted by

669
00:49:09,900 –> 00:49:14,600
the father’s Embrace and the
loving welcome the boys plan to

670
00:49:14,600 –> 00:49:18,400
be a slave instead of a son was
hushed and ended by the ministry

671
00:49:18,400 –> 00:49:29,400
of restoration if from thence.
Let’s come back Brethren and

672
00:49:29,400 –> 00:49:35,600
sisters to what we were thinking
of it first the fears the fears

673
00:49:35,600 –> 00:49:40,400
which rock are soul and twist
our hearts the depths of Life

674
00:49:41,000 –> 00:49:45,200
The Suffering and the weakness
and the failure the sorrow and

675
00:49:45,200 –> 00:49:48,400
the perplexity the frightfulness
which fills our hearts with

676
00:49:48,400 –> 00:49:52,400
heart failure.
The mastering power of self

677
00:49:53,200 –> 00:49:56,500
which crippled assassin and
Phyllis with foreboding the

678
00:49:56,500 –> 00:50:00,500
disappointments that the
fellowship which was once

679
00:50:00,500 –> 00:50:04,300
joy-filled and is now soured and
saddened.

680
00:50:05,100 –> 00:50:10,200
What can we do as our faith
descends and the spirit sinks

681
00:50:10,200 –> 00:50:13,900
into depression.
What can we do?

682
00:50:18,000 –> 00:50:22,400
Well, our next reference is
Deuteronomy chapter 33.

683
00:50:26,300 –> 00:50:36,500
We’ve Come Back At Last to the
song of Moses the great song of

684
00:50:36,500 –> 00:50:50,700
Moses
verse 27 of Deuteronomy chapter

685
00:50:50,700 –> 00:51:02,700
33.
All right first 27 view Toronto

686
00:51:02,700 –> 00:51:10,800
me 33 The Eternal God Is Thy
dwelling place and underneath

687
00:51:10,800 –> 00:51:15,400
are the Everlasting Arms.
And he thrust that the enemy

688
00:51:15,400 –> 00:51:19,300
from before thee and said
destroy.

689
00:51:24,000 –> 00:51:31,900
The Eternal God Is Thy dwelling
place and underneath are the

690
00:51:31,900 –> 00:51:38,900
Everlasting Arms now it is that
little sentence to which we must

691
00:51:38,900 –> 00:51:41,600
now direct our minds and our
hearts.

692
00:51:42,800 –> 00:51:51,100
Let’s let’s just enjoy a bit of
exposition in this sentence the

693
00:51:51,100 –> 00:52:00,600
word God the Eternal God.
The word God is the Hebrew word

694
00:52:00,600 –> 00:52:04,300
Elohim.
And in this particular case

695
00:52:04,300 –> 00:52:09,800
stands for the unfathomable and
immeasurable immeasurable power

696
00:52:09,800 –> 00:52:17,400
of the most high the Intensive
Hebrew plural word speaking of

697
00:52:17,400 –> 00:52:26,300
Might and majesty and then there
is a difference between the

698
00:52:26,300 –> 00:52:33,800
words Eternal the Eternal God.
Beside driving place and the

699
00:52:33,800 –> 00:52:38,100
word Everlasting underneath are
the Everlasting Arms.

700
00:52:38,300 –> 00:52:42,000
There’s a difference between
Eternal and everlasting.

701
00:52:43,200 –> 00:52:50,300
The word translated Eternal is
the Hebrew word Give em, and

702
00:52:50,300 –> 00:52:55,700
here it has the meaning of being
in the front whether it’s in

703
00:52:55,700 –> 00:53:00,500
place or time being in the front
inferentially, of course, it

704
00:53:00,500 –> 00:53:05,000
means the place of the sunrise
the place where the day starts

705
00:53:05,700 –> 00:53:09,500
it is a word which though it
speaks of the four-part.

706
00:53:09,500 –> 00:53:12,600
It has a way of looking back to
the start.

707
00:53:13,600 –> 00:53:18,600
It would be true I suppose so I
understand it would be true to

708
00:53:18,600 –> 00:53:21,700
the Hebrew meaning of the word
to translate it.

709
00:53:21,800 –> 00:53:25,400
The god of old is thy dwelling
place.

710
00:53:25,900 –> 00:53:30,600
But to use the word old for this
Hebrew word would lack one thing

711
00:53:30,700 –> 00:53:35,900
it would lack the poetic sense
of the word the word Eternal and

712
00:53:35,900 –> 00:53:39,000
therefore the best way of
expressing it.

713
00:53:39,000 –> 00:53:45,300
Is this the god of the beginning
is Slide Welling face the god of

714
00:53:45,300 –> 00:53:48,500
the morning the god of the
morning that morning when the

715
00:53:48,500 –> 00:53:51,800
stars sang together for joy in
the mystery of creation.

716
00:53:52,800 –> 00:53:56,600
It is saying then that The God
Who was at the beginning and

717
00:53:56,600 –> 00:53:59,900
revealed himself in the power
and the glory of his creation

718
00:54:00,400 –> 00:54:05,200
the god of way back.
He is nevertheless the God who

719
00:54:05,200 –> 00:54:09,600
is now and Nia and he is thy
Dwelling Place.

720
00:54:11,500 –> 00:54:15,700
The newness of the great God is
discovered and realized as the

721
00:54:15,700 –> 00:54:21,600
place where failing men may be
at home because he is thy

722
00:54:21,600 –> 00:54:27,100
dwelling place now, I use the
word home delivered Italy

723
00:54:27,100 –> 00:54:29,500
because home is the place as I
said to you.

724
00:54:29,500 –> 00:54:33,800
I think already home is the
place where you are at home.

725
00:54:35,000 –> 00:54:38,800
The place where all fear is
banished the place where there

726
00:54:38,800 –> 00:54:43,700
is security and rest the place
where that is peace and goodwill

727
00:54:44,600 –> 00:54:47,700
where you move not by the
authority of dogmatism, but by

728
00:54:47,700 –> 00:54:52,100
the authority of love the place
where every door is open for

729
00:54:52,100 –> 00:54:57,600
Love’s sake where you can be
true to yourself the place where

730
00:54:57,600 –> 00:55:03,400
there is no need of guile or
pretense or window dressing at

731
00:55:03,400 –> 00:55:06,400
home.
You are inwardly what you are

732
00:55:06,400 –> 00:55:11,000
out with all the other way
around you are outwardly what

733
00:55:11,000 –> 00:55:14,900
you are in with me.
Now if you think I’ve overstated

734
00:55:14,900 –> 00:55:19,100
it then I want to bring you to a
place another place in the Old

735
00:55:19,100 –> 00:55:25,300
Testament where this same word
dwell the Eternal God Is Thy

736
00:55:25,400 –> 00:55:28,900
dwelling place where this word
dwell is used.

737
00:55:29,900 –> 00:55:37,300
And it’s used again in the sense
of being at home with Isaiah 33.

738
00:55:46,000 –> 00:55:48,400
Remember, we’re enjoying a bit
of exegesis.

739
00:55:52,200 –> 00:56:05,000
Isaiah 33 verse 14 Shalom words
from Isaiah The sinners in Zion

740
00:56:05,400 –> 00:56:11,600
are afraid trembling have
surprised the Godless ones who

741
00:56:11,600 –> 00:56:17,800
among us shall dwell with
devouring fire who among us

742
00:56:17,800 –> 00:56:21,300
shall dwell with Everlasting
burnings.

743
00:56:24,400 –> 00:56:30,100
Now that question that I say I
asked means who among us shall

744
00:56:30,100 –> 00:56:36,200
dwell with Everlasting burnings
who Among Us will be at home in

745
00:56:36,200 –> 00:56:40,600
the fire who will be able to
survive and come out of it

746
00:56:40,600 –> 00:56:46,100
better and purer not the sinners
in Zion certainly not the

747
00:56:46,100 –> 00:56:49,700
sinners in Zion, but those who
have lived their lives.

748
00:56:50,600 –> 00:56:56,600
And made them income bustable by
the quality of their living.

749
00:56:57,900 –> 00:57:04,900
Gold survives in the fire
stubble is destroyed one who is

750
00:57:04,900 –> 00:57:12,900
at home with fire is the gold
and the other who is consumed is

751
00:57:12,900 –> 00:57:16,500
trouble.
So you see what on him dwell

752
00:57:16,500 –> 00:57:23,300
there means being at home with
being able to live with it and

753
00:57:23,300 –> 00:57:26,800
to live through it the
Everlasting burnings.

754
00:57:30,400 –> 00:57:37,400
So coming back to Deuteronomy.
The god of the morning is thy

755
00:57:37,700 –> 00:57:42,500
Dwelling Place the god of the
beginning is the god who is with

756
00:57:42,500 –> 00:57:47,900
with the now on the pathway with
the in spite see drilling

757
00:57:48,200 –> 00:57:52,200
drilling with you dwelling with
you in spite of your recording

758
00:57:52,200 –> 00:57:56,400
powerlessness dwelling with you
in spite of your faltering

759
00:57:56,400 –> 00:57:59,700
steps.
In spite of your trembling heart

760
00:58:00,100 –> 00:58:02,900
the god of the beginning is by
Homestead.

761
00:58:04,200 –> 00:58:08,100
Regarding said let there be
light The God Who divided the

762
00:58:08,100 –> 00:58:12,900
water from the water the God who
brought life into existence and

763
00:58:12,900 –> 00:58:16,900
said let us make man in our
image light water life.

764
00:58:16,900 –> 00:58:21,000
It’s the story of discipleship
the light of the truth the water

765
00:58:21,000 –> 00:58:27,400
of baptism the life of Faith
this God Is Thy dwelling place

766
00:58:28,000 –> 00:58:37,700
where broken men may find home.
And then underneath are the

767
00:58:37,700 –> 00:58:43,100
Everlasting Arms the word
Everlasting seeks to describe

768
00:58:43,100 –> 00:58:47,500
the timelessness of God.
It’s the Hebrew word Olam.

769
00:58:48,400 –> 00:58:51,800
It means it means age abide in
him.

770
00:58:52,900 –> 00:58:56,700
Something which is unchanged by
the ages passing through the

771
00:58:56,700 –> 00:59:01,100
ages and Beyond the age has
never touched by the ages

772
00:59:02,000 –> 00:59:05,300
violating all the calendars and
all the almanacs.

773
00:59:05,800 –> 00:59:11,900
That means that a good example
of what it means is in that in

774
00:59:11,900 –> 00:59:19,700
that word in Isaiah 9 amongst
those names conferred upon him

775
00:59:19,700 –> 00:59:26,100
Manuel He is wonderful.
The Mighty God L Gibble the the

776
00:59:26,100 –> 00:59:31,100
Everlasting father.
That is the father of Eternity

777
00:59:31,300 –> 00:59:34,000
the father of the vanishing
point.

778
00:59:35,100 –> 00:59:40,200
The father of the vanishing
point where the line passes out

779
00:59:40,200 –> 00:59:44,200
of sight the concealed that
which lies beyond the utmost

780
00:59:44,200 –> 00:59:48,000
effort to follow and understand
where thought and Imagination

781
00:59:48,000 –> 00:59:55,600
are halted age abiding.
Something so Broad and extensive

782
00:59:55,700 –> 00:59:59,900
extensive as to be always
outside of human experience and

783
00:59:59,900 –> 01:00:04,300
human endeavor broader than the
broadest reaching of human

784
01:00:04,300 –> 01:00:09,300
hearts and human hands deeper
than the deepest descending of

785
01:00:09,300 –> 01:00:16,700
human Frailty Everlast the
strength unlimited the enclosing

786
01:00:16,700 –> 01:00:21,100
power of the infinite tenderness
of God the god of the morning.

787
01:00:26,200 –> 01:00:35,400
then the word underneath
underneath are the Everlasting

788
01:00:35,400 –> 01:00:40,200
Arms.
This is the only place in the

789
01:00:40,200 –> 01:00:47,700
Bible where we find this word
translated underneath now, the

790
01:00:47,700 –> 01:00:49,900
Hebrew word is found in other
places.

791
01:00:49,900 –> 01:00:54,600
I mean other Hebrew writings and
therefore its meaning is not in

792
01:00:54,600 –> 01:00:58,600
doubt.
It is very simple its meaning it

793
01:00:58,600 –> 01:01:07,300
means bottom.
Just bottom. associated with the

794
01:01:07,300 –> 01:01:12,900
idea though is the idea of going
down descending falling briefing

795
01:01:12,900 –> 01:01:16,900
down humbling the depths of the
deepest condition worse your

796
01:01:16,900 –> 01:01:20,900
imagination or your experience
can conceive when you are right

797
01:01:20,900 –> 01:01:24,900
down when you are right down in
sorrow and anguish in fear in

798
01:01:24,900 –> 01:01:29,800
weakness in suffering in Failure
the lowest level when you said I

799
01:01:29,800 –> 01:01:42,400
was never deeper down the now
never now listen underneath

800
01:01:44,300 –> 01:01:52,500
underneath that lower than that
of the Everlasting Arms. lower

801
01:01:52,500 –> 01:01:59,700
than the bottom beneath that of
the Everlasting Arms When Faith

802
01:01:59,700 –> 01:02:02,600
was at Rock Bottom the
Everlasting Arms Of God were

803
01:02:02,600 –> 01:02:07,000
underneath that on the lie
underneath life with all its

804
01:02:07,000 –> 01:02:10,800
mystery with all its seeming
chance fullness with its

805
01:02:10,800 –> 01:02:13,000
perplexity with his
contradiction.

806
01:02:13,100 –> 01:02:15,600
Underneath are the Everlasting
Arms.

807
01:02:15,600 –> 01:02:17,800
There’s nothing outside the
orbit of Israel.

808
01:02:17,800 –> 01:02:20,400
There is nothing beyond the
tenderness of his care.

809
01:02:21,900 –> 01:02:24,800
What can you say, how can you
tell it that?

810
01:02:26,200 –> 01:02:31,200
human syllables are not adequate
Brethren and sisters when we are

811
01:02:31,500 –> 01:02:36,500
falling fearfully and sadly in
the last in the last reach of

812
01:02:36,500 –> 01:02:40,500
The Descent when every support
is giving way when no finger is

813
01:02:40,500 –> 01:02:45,800
lifted to hold her falling when
no voice can stay a help

814
01:02:46,000 –> 01:02:50,700
lessness when no glance of the I
can anymore understand that

815
01:02:50,700 –> 01:02:54,300
Agony in the moment of our utter
weakness in the moment of our

816
01:02:54,300 –> 01:03:03,500
final hope lessness we for and
we have fallen into the arms of

817
01:03:03,500 –> 01:03:08,500
God.
Cradled by the god of the

818
01:03:08,500 –> 01:03:14,700
morning sucking at rock bottom
and Moses goes on to Proclaim

819
01:03:14,700 –> 01:03:19,100
that the God who is our refuge
will bring to nought all the

820
01:03:19,100 –> 01:03:22,400
forces which are set on
hindering and harming us.

821
01:03:23,100 –> 01:03:29,900
He will first out the enemy said
and say destroy The forces which

822
01:03:29,900 –> 01:03:33,700
are against us and a soldier us
at last he will say to them

823
01:03:33,700 –> 01:03:35,700
destroyed.
Let them be destroyed.

824
01:03:36,700 –> 01:03:42,300
It means that feel like a brat
like a black raven will drop

825
01:03:42,300 –> 01:03:45,900
dead.
An old death Riding on His Pale

826
01:03:45,900 –> 01:03:54,500
Horse his vanquished. so
discipleship in Deuteronomy, we

827
01:03:54,500 –> 01:04:01,200
may take these words of old
these words of Moses the last

828
01:04:01,200 –> 01:04:03,800
words of Moses on the plains of
Moab.

829
01:04:04,500 –> 01:04:14,300
We may take them to ourselves.
He said happy Art Thou o people

830
01:04:14,300 –> 01:04:20,600
of God who is like unto thee a
people saved by the Lord.

831
01:04:21,700 –> 01:04:26,000
So this is the answer to all our
fears and all our foreboding.

832
01:04:26,300 –> 01:04:29,800
He is in the beginning the god
of the beginning is the

833
01:04:29,808 –> 01:04:35,000
beginning of this day and every
day until the until the cycle of

834
01:04:35,000 –> 01:04:40,800
the running days is over and all
the secrets of the ages out of

835
01:04:40,800 –> 01:04:51,300
Iran and so my comrades we have
come to the end of our show.

836
01:04:51,600 –> 01:04:56,800
Should I Deuteronomy?
And as you go out to this house

837
01:04:56,800 –> 01:05:01,500
today into the streets of the
world you go bearing his name

838
01:05:01,500 –> 01:05:06,400
and the guns and his course the
manifesting his discipleship.

839
01:05:07,700 –> 01:05:13,200
window Because of the things we
have talked about together, will

840
01:05:13,200 –> 01:05:16,800
you remember that the secret
things belong to the Lord your

841
01:05:16,800 –> 01:05:21,000
God but the things which are
revealed belong on to you and to

842
01:05:21,000 –> 01:05:25,200
your children that you made you
all the words of this law.

843
01:05:25,800 –> 01:05:29,500
We need to remember that in the
strange and varied experiences

844
01:05:29,500 –> 01:05:33,100
of your discipleship.
He is leading you like an eagle.

845
01:05:33,100 –> 01:05:37,600
He is bearing you on his pinions
so that at last you met Ray you

846
01:05:37,600 –> 01:05:42,400
may rise onward.
And upward and sunward in the

847
01:05:42,400 –> 01:05:47,700
full flush of your new life.
And finally if in the strange

848
01:05:47,700 –> 01:05:52,600
and awful ways of failure and
weakness, you are fearful and

849
01:05:52,600 –> 01:05:57,200
you are faltering underneath
your deepest sorrow and

850
01:05:57,200 –> 01:06:01,900
underneath your deepest failure
are the Everlasting Arms of the

851
01:06:01,900 –> 01:06:06,900
god of the morning and as you
submit yourselves more and more

things will be discovered and

faith increases and so you will

those who know the king best of

all his next of kin.
Those were told to stand with

856
01:06:29,000 –> 01:06:38,500
him and to fight with him until
the day is done and the kingdom
