00:00:45,140<br \/>\nthis week&#8217;s talk.<br \/>\nHello, This is brother Chris <\/p>\n<p>12<br \/>\n00:00:45,140 &#8211;&gt; 00:00:49,140<br \/>\nAtwood back with a new talk for<br \/>\nyou to enjoy this week. <\/p>\n<p>13<br \/>\n00:00:50,580 &#8211;&gt; 00:00:52,860<br \/>\nFor this week, we&#8217;re listening<br \/>\nto an exhortation that was given<\/p>\n<p>14<br \/>\n00:00:52,860 &#8211;&gt; 00:00:56,060<br \/>\nearlier this year in Southern<br \/>\nCalifornia by brother Bob <\/p>\n<p>15<br \/>\n00:00:56,060 &#8211;&gt;

00:01:08,960<br \/>\nthought fit very well to the<br \/>\noverall goal and objective of <\/p>\n<p>18<br \/>\n00:01:08,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:16,280<br \/>\nthe Good Christadelphian Talks<br \/>\npodcast, which is the goal is to<\/p>\n<p>19<br \/>\n00:01:16,280 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:19,520<br \/>\ntry to get the Bible into your<br \/>\nnews feed to reduce the amount <\/p>\n<p>20<br \/>\n00:01:19,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:22,240<br \/>\nof noise in your life and<br \/>\ninstead focus on the signal. <\/p>\n<p>21<br \/>\n00:01:23,480 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:31,160<br \/>\nNow Brother Bob is a sound<br \/>\nengineer and has taught and has <\/p>\n<p>22<br \/>\n00:01:31,160 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:34,560<br \/>\nhelped in many ways both in our<br \/>\necclesia and other ecclesia in <\/p>\n<p>23<br \/>\n00:01:34,560 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:38,560<br \/>\nSouthern California to set up<br \/>\nsound systems and all sorts of <\/p>\n<p>24<br \/>\n00:01:38,560 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:41,240<br \/>\nother things related to sound.<br \/>\nSo he is an expert in the <\/p>\n<p>25<br \/>\n00:01:41,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:42,760<br \/>\nsubject when he is talking about<br \/>\nit. <\/p>\n<p>26<br \/>\n00:01:43,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:46,520<br \/>\nBut one of the areas that<br \/>\nBrother Bob and many other <\/p>\n<p>27<br \/>\n00:01:46,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:51,120<br \/>\nbrothers over the years have<br \/>\nhelped in is preserving and <\/p>\n<p>28<br \/>\n00:01:51,120 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:55,160<br \/>\nhelping to do the audio at Bible<br \/>\nschools and Bible weekends over <\/p>\n<p>29<br \/>\n00:01:55,160 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:57,560<br \/>\nthe years.<br \/>\nSo I thought it was appropriate,<\/p>\n<p>30<br \/>\n00:01:58,040 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:01,000<br \/>\ngiven that I&#8217;m sharing this<br \/>\nexpectation right on the eve of <\/p>\n<p>31<br \/>\n00:02:01,480 &#8211;&gt;

00:02:12,560<br \/>\nhelped to set up the sound so<br \/>\nthat everyone can be able to <\/p>\n<p>34<br \/>\n00:02:12,560 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:15,040<br \/>\nhear and understand the work<br \/>\nthat all the speakers put into <\/p>\n<p>35<br \/>\n00:02:15,040 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:17,520<br \/>\nputting out those talks and also<br \/>\nthose that. <\/p>\n<p>36<br \/>\n00:02:17,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:20,280<br \/>\nOver the years.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re responsible for tape <\/p>\n<p>37<br \/>\n00:02:20,280 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:23,520<br \/>\nreplication so that we have the<br \/>\ntapes that I&#8217;ve been working to <\/p>\n<p>38<br \/>\n00:02:23,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:27,640<br \/>\ndigitize to preserve the talks<br \/>\nfrom many, many years ago. <\/p>\n<p>39<br \/>\n00:02:28,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:31,240<br \/>\nAnd we&#8217;re able to still listen<br \/>\nand enjoy and in many cases <\/p>\n<p>40<br \/>\n00:02:31,280 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:33,800<br \/>\nsounds just as good as if it was<br \/>\nrecorded today. <\/p>\n<p>41<br \/>\n00:02:34,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:39,160<br \/>\nSo if you are out at a Bible<br \/>\nschool this summer, one, if it <\/p>\n<p>42<br \/>\n00:02:39,160 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:41,760<br \/>\nhappens to have a spectacular<br \/>\ntalk, please make sure to send <\/p>\n<p>43<br \/>\n00:02:41,760 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:44,800<br \/>\nit in as a suggestion.<br \/>\nBut also be sure to thank <\/p>\n<p>44<br \/>\n00:02:44,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:46,960<br \/>\nwhoever is doing the audio<br \/>\nbehind the scenes. <\/p>\n<p>45<br \/>\n00:02:46,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:51,680<br \/>\nCause doing sound at an event<br \/>\nlike a Bible school or a weekend<\/p>\n<p>46<br \/>\n00:02:52,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:55,480<br \/>\nis the type of job that nobody<br \/>\nknows that the someone is doing <\/p>\n<p>47<br \/>\n00:02:55,480 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:59,600<br \/>\nit unless it is going wrong.<br \/>\nSo if it is going well and you <\/p>\n<p>48<br \/>\n00:02:59,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:01,560<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t know who they are, that&#8217;s<br \/>\nprobably because they&#8217;re doing <\/p>\n<p>49<br \/>\n00:03:01,560 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:05,200<br \/>\nan excellent job.<br \/>\nBe sure to thank them for what <\/p>\n<p>50<br \/>\n00:03:05,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:07,600<br \/>\nthey&#8217;re doing.<br \/>\nThat allows you to be able to <\/p>\n<p>51<br \/>\n00:03:07,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:10,640<br \/>\nsit and listen and enjoy the<br \/>\nwork of whoever is up on the <\/p>\n<p>52<br \/>\n00:03:10,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:13,240<br \/>\nplatform speaking at that given<br \/>\nmoment. <\/p>\n<p>53<br \/>\n00:03:14,280 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:17,800<br \/>\nSo with that, I&#8217;m going to turn<br \/>\nit over to brother Bob Carlson <\/p>\n<p>54<br \/>\n00:03:17,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:21,160<br \/>\nfor his expectation.<br \/>\nThat was entitled Signal Verse <\/p>\n<p>55<br \/>\n00:03:21,160 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:24,520<br \/>\nNoise.<br \/>\nGood morning, brothers and <\/p>\n<p>56<br \/>\n00:03:24,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:28,960<br \/>\nsisters.<br \/>\nAs I start out the new year, I, <\/p>\n<p>57<br \/>\n00:03:28,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:33,680<br \/>\nlike many of you, kind of take a<br \/>\nreview of what I&#8217;ve done and I <\/p>\n<p>58<br \/>\n00:03:33,880 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:37,480<br \/>\nthen go through my files and see<br \/>\nwhat I need for taxes coming on <\/p>\n<p>59<br \/>\n00:03:37,480 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:38,960<br \/>\nup at the beginning of this<br \/>\nyear. <\/p>\n<p>60<br \/>\n00:03:39,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:44,800<br \/>\nYeah, great stuff.<br \/>\nAnd then I also then start new <\/p>\n<p>61<br \/>\n00:03:44,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:47,560<br \/>\nfiles.<br \/>\nI start the files for 2025. <\/p>\n<p>62<br \/>\n00:03:48,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:52,160<br \/>\nOf course, this always requires<br \/>\nme to make some space because <\/p>\n<p>63<br \/>\n00:03:52,160 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:53,960<br \/>\neverything&#8217;s already full from<br \/>\neverything. <\/p>\n<p>64<br \/>\n00:03:53,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:57,320<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s over the course of the<br \/>\npast few years and my filing <\/p>\n<p>65<br \/>\n00:03:57,320 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:00,920<br \/>\ncabinets get full and I need an<br \/>\nexodus of some of these older <\/p>\n<p>66<br \/>\n00:04:00,920 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:03,920<br \/>\nfiles.<br \/>\nAnd this year required me to <\/p>\n<p>67<br \/>\n00:04:03,920 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:08,320<br \/>\nthrow out quite a few older<br \/>\nfiles no longer in use. <\/p>\n<p>68<br \/>\n00:04:10,040 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:12,400<br \/>\nMy wife&#8217;s treadmill has took<br \/>\nenough space of one of the <\/p>\n<p>69<br \/>\n00:04:12,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:14,440<br \/>\nfiling cabinets, so I needed<br \/>\neven more room. <\/p>\n<p>70<br \/>\n00:04:15,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:18,519<br \/>\nAmong those older files were<br \/>\nsome of my school lecture <\/p>\n<p>71<br \/>\n00:04:18,519 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:21,399<br \/>\nmaterials from my educational<br \/>\ndays where I taught at a local <\/p>\n<p>72<br \/>\n00:04:21,399 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:25,880<br \/>\nCommunity College.<br \/>\nI kind of find it hard to <\/p>\n<p>73<br \/>\n00:04:25,880 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:30,520<br \/>\ndispose of some of them because<br \/>\nthey&#8217;re knowledge based but but <\/p>\n<p>74<br \/>\n00:04:30,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:32,800<br \/>\nnot like I&#8217;m going to go back<br \/>\ninto teaching anymore. <\/p>\n<p>75<br \/>\n00:04:33,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:37,080<br \/>\nThey were just taking up far too<br \/>\nmuch space there in the files. <\/p>\n<p>76<br \/>\n00:04:37,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:40,880<br \/>\nBut as I was going through them<br \/>\nand throwing them away, I came <\/p>\n<p>77<br \/>\n00:04:40,880 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:45,920<br \/>\nacross one of my lexer sessions<br \/>\nthat was titled Gain Structure <\/p>\n<p>78<br \/>\n00:04:46,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:50,840<br \/>\nSignal to Noise.<br \/>\nAnd I thought, aha, I think I&#8217;ve<\/p>\n<p>79<br \/>\n00:04:50,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:53,240<br \/>\nfound something.<br \/>\nThis can be my next exhortation.<\/p>\n<p>80<br \/>\n00:04:54,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:55,400<br \/>\nYeah.<br \/>\nOK. <\/p>\n<p>81<br \/>\n00:04:55,880 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:58,840<br \/>\nAnd I, and I know before you<br \/>\nthink I&#8217;ve totally gone off my <\/p>\n<p>82<br \/>\n00:04:58,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:01,040<br \/>\nrocker, at least more than I<br \/>\nalready am. <\/p>\n<p>83<br \/>\n00:05:01,040 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:03,840<br \/>\nLet me get into the subject a<br \/>\nlittle bit before you think me <\/p>\n<p>84<br \/>\n00:05:04,080 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:08,560<br \/>\ntotally crazy.<br \/>\nIn the world of audio and music,<\/p>\n<p>85<br \/>\n00:05:08,560 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:12,360<br \/>\nwe are always trying to have the<br \/>\nmusic and all audio programming <\/p>\n<p>86<br \/>\n00:05:12,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:16,320<br \/>\nfree from any distractions that<br \/>\nwould take us away from that <\/p>\n<p>87<br \/>\n00:05:16,320 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:21,200<br \/>\naudio programming or the music.<br \/>\nAnd what happens is, is that any<\/p>\n<p>88<br \/>\n00:05:21,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:23,560<br \/>\ntype of distortion to the<br \/>\noriginal music or audio <\/p>\n<p>89<br \/>\n00:05:23,560 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:27,840<br \/>\nprogramming is totally unwanted.<br \/>\nAny introduction of something <\/p>\n<p>90<br \/>\n00:05:27,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:32,760<br \/>\nthat was not in the original<br \/>\nmusic or audio is also unwanted.<\/p>\n<p>91<br \/>\n00:05:33,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:36,920<br \/>\nIn short, anything that is not<br \/>\npart of the original audio or <\/p>\n<p>92<br \/>\n00:05:36,920 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:43,320<br \/>\nmusic is considered to be noise.<br \/>\nIn contrast, we want the music <\/p>\n<p>93<br \/>\n00:05:43,320 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:48,160<br \/>\nto be totally easily heard.<br \/>\nWe want it to be presented <\/p>\n<p>94<br \/>\n00:05:48,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:51,600<br \/>\naccurately.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s gain level should be well <\/p>\n<p>95<br \/>\n00:05:51,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:54,480<br \/>\nabove the presence of any<br \/>\npossible noise. <\/p>\n<p>96<br \/>\n00:05:55,160 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:59,080<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s a measurement for this<br \/>\nand it is called signal to <\/p>\n<p>97<br \/>\n00:05:59,080 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:02,480<br \/>\nnoise.<br \/>\nNearly all audio electronics. <\/p>\n<p>98<br \/>\n00:06:02,880 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:06,080<br \/>\nThis has this measurement of<br \/>\nsignal noise listed in its <\/p>\n<p>99<br \/>\n00:06:06,080 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:09,120<br \/>\nspecifications.<br \/>\nThe higher the measurement <\/p>\n<p>100<br \/>\n00:06:09,120 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:12,680<br \/>\ndifferential, the better the<br \/>\naudio electronics are. <\/p>\n<p>101<br \/>\n00:06:13,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:17,440<br \/>\nWhat does this mean?<br \/>\nIn reality, the level of music <\/p>\n<p>102<br \/>\n00:06:17,440 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:20,400<br \/>\nis far above any perception of<br \/>\nnoise that might be there. <\/p>\n<p>103<br \/>\n00:06:21,280 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:25,840<br \/>\nIn fact, the music would even<br \/>\nmask any possible noise because <\/p>\n<p>104<br \/>\n00:06:25,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:27,880<br \/>\nit&#8217;s much higher in its loudness<br \/>\nlevel. <\/p>\n<p>105<br \/>\n00:06:29,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:33,480<br \/>\nAn experienced audio engineer<br \/>\nknows his job is to turn up the <\/p>\n<p>106<br \/>\n00:06:33,480 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:39,440<br \/>\nsignal, get rid of the noise.<br \/>\nNow some of you more experienced<\/p>\n<p>107<br \/>\n00:06:39,440 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:42,080<br \/>\naudio engineers and Bible<br \/>\nstudents can see where I&#8217;m going<\/p>\n<p>108<br \/>\n00:06:42,080 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:45,520<br \/>\nwith this exhortation.<br \/>\nAnd you may already know where <\/p>\n<p>109<br \/>\n00:06:45,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:49,320<br \/>\nI&#8217;m going with this comparison<br \/>\nof how signal to noise may play <\/p>\n<p>110<br \/>\n00:06:49,320 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:53,000<br \/>\na role in our spiritual walk in<br \/>\nthis world that we live in <\/p>\n<p>111<br \/>\n00:06:53,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:56,320<br \/>\ntoday.<br \/>\nSo let&#8217;s leave the college <\/p>\n<p>112<br \/>\n00:06:56,320 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:59,640<br \/>\nclassroom and its materials for<br \/>\na moment and turn to the Bible <\/p>\n<p>113<br \/>\n00:06:59,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:01,560<br \/>\nfor its commentary on the<br \/>\nsubject. <\/p>\n<p>114<br \/>\n00:07:02,680 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:05,600<br \/>\nSo in doing that, I guess the<br \/>\nfirst thing we need to do <\/p>\n<p>115<br \/>\n00:07:05,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:09,840<br \/>\nexplore what is the Bible&#8217;s<br \/>\nperception of noise. <\/p>\n<p>116<br \/>\n00:07:11,320 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:15,400<br \/>\nTo my surprise, both the Greek<br \/>\nand Hebrew words for noise are <\/p>\n<p>117<br \/>\n00:07:15,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:19,640<br \/>\ncontained within the Bible, and<br \/>\nnot just a few times, but a lot <\/p>\n<p>118<br \/>\n00:07:19,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:22,080<br \/>\nof times.<br \/>\nMany times. <\/p>\n<p>119<br \/>\n00:07:22,080 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:25,440<br \/>\nWhat is translated noise just<br \/>\nmeans sound. <\/p>\n<p>120<br \/>\n00:07:26,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:30,480<br \/>\nExamples of this would be in<br \/>\nNaham 3 and 2, the noise of a <\/p>\n<p>121<br \/>\n00:07:30,480 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:34,880<br \/>\nwhip and the noise of a rattling<br \/>\nwheel, or of galloping horses <\/p>\n<p>122<br \/>\n00:07:35,080 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:38,960<br \/>\nover clattering Chariots.<br \/>\nOr another example would be from<\/p>\n<p>123<br \/>\n00:07:38,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:42,080<br \/>\nJoshua 610.<br \/>\nNow Joshua had commanded the <\/p>\n<p>124<br \/>\n00:07:42,080 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:46,840<br \/>\npeople, saying, You shall not<br \/>\nshout or make any noise with <\/p>\n<p>125<br \/>\n00:07:46,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:51,400<br \/>\nyour voice, nor shall a word<br \/>\nproceed out of your mouth until <\/p>\n<p>126<br \/>\n00:07:51,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:55,920<br \/>\nthe day I say to you shout, then<br \/>\nyou shall shout. <\/p>\n<p>127<br \/>\n00:07:57,120 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:02,320<br \/>\nSo many times the word noise is<br \/>\nnot translated in a positive <\/p>\n<p>128<br \/>\n00:08:02,320 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:04,840<br \/>\nsense.<br \/>\nMatter of fact, many times it&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>129<br \/>\n00:08:04,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:09,320<br \/>\nnot translated positively.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;ll come up as confused noise,<\/p>\n<p>130<br \/>\n00:08:09,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:13,120<br \/>\nloud noise.<br \/>\nPass away with a great noise, <\/p>\n<p>131<br \/>\n00:08:13,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:19,920<br \/>\ntumult, or commotion.<br \/>\nAfter the uproar ceased, riotous<\/p>\n<p>132<br \/>\n00:08:19,920 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:25,040<br \/>\npersons, both Jesus and the<br \/>\napostle Paul, were confronted <\/p>\n<p>133<br \/>\n00:08:25,040 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:27,480<br \/>\nwith noise.<br \/>\nSometimes translated as <\/p>\n<p>134<br \/>\n00:08:27,480 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:33,039<br \/>\nclamorous or excited multitude<br \/>\ntrying to drown out God&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>135<br \/>\n00:08:33,039 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:36,640<br \/>\nmessage.<br \/>\nPaul in more than one occasion <\/p>\n<p>136<br \/>\n00:08:36,880 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:41,760<br \/>\nset the city on an uproar.<br \/>\nHowever, sometimes we&#8217;ll see the<\/p>\n<p>137<br \/>\n00:08:41,760 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:44,880<br \/>\ntranslation of noise in a<br \/>\nfavorable way. <\/p>\n<p>138<br \/>\n00:08:45,120 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:49,640<br \/>\nNot as many, but it&#8217;ll come up<br \/>\nas make a joyful shout, make a <\/p>\n<p>139<br \/>\n00:08:49,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:53,240<br \/>\njoyful noise, make a joyful<br \/>\nsound to the Lord. <\/p>\n<p>140<br \/>\n00:08:54,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:58,920<br \/>\nAn example would be like a verse<br \/>\nI really like from Psalms 89 at <\/p>\n<p>141<br \/>\n00:08:58,920 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:02,400<br \/>\n15.<br \/>\nBlessed are the people who know <\/p>\n<p>142<br \/>\n00:09:02,760 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:06,840<br \/>\nthe joyful sound.<br \/>\nThey walk, O Lord, in the light <\/p>\n<p>143<br \/>\n00:09:06,880 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:11,240<br \/>\nof your countenance.<br \/>\nSo from a Bible&#8217;s translated <\/p>\n<p>144<br \/>\n00:09:11,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:15,360<br \/>\nsense, you can make a joyful<br \/>\nnoise or sound to the Lord, or <\/p>\n<p>145<br \/>\n00:09:15,360 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:20,360<br \/>\nyou can make a confused tumult<br \/>\nor commotion that is not joyful <\/p>\n<p>146<br \/>\n00:09:20,480 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:23,880<br \/>\nto the Lord.<br \/>\nIn fact, we see many times God&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>147<br \/>\n00:09:23,880 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:28,560<br \/>\ncontrast the loud sounds of<br \/>\nconfusion with the small voice <\/p>\n<p>148<br \/>\n00:09:28,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:33,520<br \/>\nor near silence of God asking us<br \/>\nto be silent before Him. <\/p>\n<p>149<br \/>\n00:09:33,680 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:35,720<br \/>\nJust like in the hymn that we<br \/>\njust sang. <\/p>\n<p>150<br \/>\n00:09:37,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:41,040<br \/>\nThe Word of God throughout the<br \/>\nScriptures makes an interesting <\/p>\n<p>151<br \/>\n00:09:41,040 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:46,440<br \/>\ncontrast between loud noise of<br \/>\nthe wicked in the quiet of the <\/p>\n<p>152<br \/>\n00:09:46,440 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:53,160<br \/>\ninnocent or the righteous.<br \/>\nI would like to turn to the book<\/p>\n<p>153<br \/>\n00:09:53,360 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:56,680<br \/>\nin Prophecy of Amos, the 5th<br \/>\nchapter. <\/p>\n<p>154<br \/>\n00:09:57,880 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:01,600<br \/>\nIn this 5th chapter of Amos,<br \/>\nAmos prophesied during the reign<\/p>\n<p>155<br \/>\n00:10:01,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:05,840<br \/>\nof Uzziah over Judah and over<br \/>\nJeroboam over Israel. <\/p>\n<p>156<br \/>\n00:10:07,160 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:11,600<br \/>\nIt is it is call from God to<br \/>\nboth Judah and Israel for <\/p>\n<p>157<br \/>\n00:10:11,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:15,800<br \/>\nrepentance and putting in at<br \/>\nverse 12 of Amos 5. <\/p>\n<p>158<br \/>\n00:10:16,760 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:22,400<br \/>\nFor I know how many of how many<br \/>\nare your offenses, and how great<\/p>\n<p>159<br \/>\n00:10:22,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:25,720<br \/>\nare your sins.<br \/>\nThere are those who oppress the <\/p>\n<p>160<br \/>\n00:10:25,720 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:30,080<br \/>\ninnocent and take bribes and<br \/>\ndeprive the poor of justice in <\/p>\n<p>161<br \/>\n00:10:30,080 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:34,040<br \/>\nthe courts.<br \/>\nTherefore the prudent keep quiet<\/p>\n<p>162<br \/>\n00:10:34,160 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:37,440<br \/>\nin such times, for the times are<br \/>\nevil. <\/p>\n<p>163<br \/>\n00:10:38,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:41,800<br \/>\nSeek good, not evil, that you<br \/>\nmay live. <\/p>\n<p>164<br \/>\n00:10:42,760 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:48,440<br \/>\nThen the Lord God Almighty will<br \/>\nbe with you just as you say he <\/p>\n<p>165<br \/>\n00:10:48,440 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:53,480<br \/>\nis.<br \/>\nHate evil, love good, maintain <\/p>\n<p>166<br \/>\n00:10:53,480 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:57,160<br \/>\njustice in the courts.<br \/>\nPerhaps the Lord God Almighty <\/p>\n<p>167<br \/>\n00:10:57,160 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:00,160<br \/>\nwill have mercy on the remnant<br \/>\nof Joseph. <\/p>\n<p>168<br \/>\n00:11:01,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:06,680<br \/>\nSo here in this passage, the<br \/>\nLord God is calling for justice <\/p>\n<p>169<br \/>\n00:11:06,720 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:08,320<br \/>\nand righteousness from His<br \/>\npeople. <\/p>\n<p>170<br \/>\n00:11:09,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:13,640<br \/>\nThings had gotten so bad that<br \/>\neven the courts of those days <\/p>\n<p>171<br \/>\n00:11:13,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:18,440<br \/>\nwere evil, taking bribes and<br \/>\noppressing the innocent. <\/p>\n<p>172<br \/>\n00:11:19,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:22,800<br \/>\nAnd Amos would declare the times<br \/>\nare evil. <\/p>\n<p>173<br \/>\n00:11:23,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:27,280<br \/>\nSo he wants us to seek good, not<br \/>\nevil. <\/p>\n<p>174<br \/>\n00:11:27,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:30,680<br \/>\nSo in keeping with our subject<br \/>\nof the positive signal and <\/p>\n<p>175<br \/>\n00:11:30,680 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:34,560<br \/>\nmessage of God over the<br \/>\nunpleasing noise that can drown <\/p>\n<p>176<br \/>\n00:11:34,560 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:39,920<br \/>\nout that message with noise, how<br \/>\ndo we turn up the signal and get<\/p>\n<p>177<br \/>\n00:11:39,920 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:43,840<br \/>\nrid of the noise?<br \/>\nWhat noise and unwanted <\/p>\n<p>178<br \/>\n00:11:43,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:47,120<br \/>\nconfusion can we remove from our<br \/>\nlives? <\/p>\n<p>179<br \/>\n00:11:48,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:52,680<br \/>\nAnd in contrast, what positive<br \/>\nsignals can we turn up in our <\/p>\n<p>180<br \/>\n00:11:52,680 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:56,000<br \/>\nlives?<br \/>\nSo let us take a moment to look <\/p>\n<p>181<br \/>\n00:11:56,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:59,240<br \/>\nthrough and read some of God&#8217;s<br \/>\nScripture and see what might <\/p>\n<p>182<br \/>\n00:11:59,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:03,720<br \/>\nhelp us as to turning up the<br \/>\nsignal and getting rid of the <\/p>\n<p>183<br \/>\n00:12:03,720 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:06,760<br \/>\nnoise.<br \/>\nNow all of these Bible passages <\/p>\n<p>184<br \/>\n00:12:06,760 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:09,800<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll be reading will be taken<br \/>\nfrom the New King James Version,<\/p>\n<p>185<br \/>\n00:12:09,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:11,480<br \/>\nand there&#8217;s going to be quite a<br \/>\nnumber of them. <\/p>\n<p>186<br \/>\n00:12:11,720 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:14,720<br \/>\nSo don&#8217;t feel necessary to turn<br \/>\nthem all up as I read them. <\/p>\n<p>187<br \/>\n00:12:16,160 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:19,960<br \/>\nOur first reading will come from<br \/>\nthe first chapter of Isaiah at <\/p>\n<p>188<br \/>\n00:12:19,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:25,840<br \/>\nverse 17.<br \/>\nLearn to do good, seek justice, <\/p>\n<p>189<br \/>\n00:12:26,320 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:31,840<br \/>\nrebuke the oppressor, defend the<br \/>\nfatherless, plead for the widow.<\/p>\n<p>190<br \/>\n00:12:32,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:36,440<br \/>\nHere the Lord through Isaiah is<br \/>\npleading for the children of <\/p>\n<p>191<br \/>\n00:12:36,440 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:40,360<br \/>\nIsrael to put away evil doings.<br \/>\nJust like the reading we just <\/p>\n<p>192<br \/>\n00:12:40,360 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:45,600<br \/>\nhad in Amos, there&#8217;s a plea, a<br \/>\nlegal plea to seek justice and <\/p>\n<p>193<br \/>\n00:12:45,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:49,440<br \/>\ndefend the innocent.<br \/>\nAnd in the following verses it <\/p>\n<p>194<br \/>\n00:12:49,440 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:55,200<br \/>\nsays, though your sins are like<br \/>\nscarlet, they shall be as white <\/p>\n<p>195<br \/>\n00:12:55,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:57,960<br \/>\nas snow.<br \/>\nThough though they are red like <\/p>\n<p>196<br \/>\n00:12:57,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:02,560<br \/>\nCrimson, they shall be as wool<br \/>\nif you&#8217;re, if you are willing <\/p>\n<p>197<br \/>\n00:13:03,040 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:07,000<br \/>\nand obedient.<br \/>\nSo the message here is learn to <\/p>\n<p>198<br \/>\n00:13:07,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:10,360<br \/>\ndo good.<br \/>\nKing David would say in the <\/p>\n<p>199<br \/>\n00:13:10,360 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:18,120<br \/>\nPsalms, Psalms 3414, depart from<br \/>\nevil and do good, seek peace and<\/p>\n<p>200<br \/>\n00:13:18,120 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:23,320<br \/>\npursue it.<br \/>\nAnd in Psalms 37, depart from <\/p>\n<p>201<br \/>\n00:13:23,320 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:27,440<br \/>\nevil and do good, and dwell<br \/>\nforevermore. <\/p>\n<p>202<br \/>\n00:13:29,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:31,520<br \/>\nNow King David was just echoing<br \/>\nwhat was instructed to the <\/p>\n<p>203<br \/>\n00:13:31,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:33,440<br \/>\nchildren of Israel back in<br \/>\nDeuteronomy. <\/p>\n<p>204<br \/>\n00:13:33,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:39,480<br \/>\nIn Deuteronomy 6 and 18, you<br \/>\nshall do what is right and good <\/p>\n<p>205<br \/>\n00:13:39,520 &#8211;&gt;

00:13:58,120<br \/>\nhe&#8217;s talking about there&#8217;s a<br \/>\ntime and a place where <\/p>\n<p>210<br \/>\n00:13:58,120 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:01,520<br \/>\neverything and starting at verse<br \/>\n11 for continuity. <\/p>\n<p>211<br \/>\n00:14:03,360 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:06,280<br \/>\nHe has made everything beautiful<br \/>\nin its time. <\/p>\n<p>212<br \/>\n00:14:07,040 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:10,120<br \/>\nHe has also set eternity in the<br \/>\nhuman heart. <\/p>\n<p>213<br \/>\n00:14:10,760 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:14,320<br \/>\nYet no one can fathom what God<br \/>\nhas done from the beginning to <\/p>\n<p>214<br \/>\n00:14:14,320 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:16,560<br \/>\nend.<br \/>\nI know that there&#8217;s nothing <\/p>\n<p>215<br \/>\n00:14:16,560 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:21,560<br \/>\nbetter for people than to be<br \/>\nhappy and to do good while they <\/p>\n<p>216<br \/>\n00:14:21,560 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:26,080<br \/>\nlive.<br \/>\nBut years later, Jeremiah would <\/p>\n<p>217<br \/>\n00:14:26,080 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:32,440<br \/>\nwrite the Lord&#8217;s at the Lord&#8217;s<br \/>\ndirection at Jeremiah 422 For my<\/p>\n<p>218<br \/>\n00:14:32,440 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:35,520<br \/>\npeople are foolish.<br \/>\nThey have not known me. <\/p>\n<p>219<br \/>\n00:14:36,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:39,640<br \/>\nThey are silly children, and<br \/>\nthey have no understanding. <\/p>\n<p>220<br \/>\n00:14:40,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:46,520<br \/>\nThey are wise to do evil, but to<br \/>\ndo good they have no knowledge. <\/p>\n<p>221<br \/>\n00:14:48,360 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:52,640<br \/>\nSo this theme to do good didn&#8217;t<br \/>\nend with the children of Israel.<\/p>\n<p>222<br \/>\n00:14:53,160 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:55,720<br \/>\nWe have only to turn to the New<br \/>\nTestament writers to see this <\/p>\n<p>223<br \/>\n00:14:55,720 &#8211;&gt;

00:16:02,000<br \/>\nverse 16.<br \/>\nBut do not forget to do good, <\/p>\n<p>236<br \/>\n00:16:02,360 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:06,480<br \/>\nand to share for what such<br \/>\nsacrifices God is well pleased. <\/p>\n<p>237<br \/>\n00:16:07,520 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:13,000<br \/>\nIn first Timothy 6 at verse 18.<br \/>\nLet them do good, that they may <\/p>\n<p>238<br \/>\n00:16:13,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:18,040<br \/>\nbe rich in good works, ready to<br \/>\ngive willingly to share. <\/p>\n<p>239<br \/>\n00:16:19,280 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:24,560<br \/>\nAnd in John three, the first<br \/>\nchapter at verse 11, behold, do <\/p>\n<p>240<br \/>\n00:16:24,560 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:28,200<br \/>\nnot imitate what is evil, but<br \/>\nwhat is good. <\/p>\n<p>241<br \/>\n00:16:28,760 &#8211;&gt;

00:16:56,240<br \/>\nthis platform 2 weeks ago, King<br \/>\nDavid would write an Oracle <\/p>\n<p>246<br \/>\n00:16:56,240 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:59,520<br \/>\nwithin my heart concerning the<br \/>\ntransgression of the wicked. <\/p>\n<p>247<br \/>\n00:17:00,320 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:05,040<br \/>\nThere is No Fear of God before<br \/>\nhis eyes, for he flatters <\/p>\n<p>248<br \/>\n00:17:05,040 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:10,359<br \/>\nhimself in his own eyes when he<br \/>\nfinds out his iniquity, and when<\/p>\n<p>249<br \/>\n00:17:10,359 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:14,480<br \/>\nhe hates.<br \/>\nThe words of his mouth are <\/p>\n<p>250<br \/>\n00:17:14,480 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:19,640<br \/>\nwickedness and deceit.<br \/>\nHe has ceased to be wise and to <\/p>\n<p>251<br \/>\n00:17:19,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:23,000<br \/>\ndo good.<br \/>\nHe devises wickedness on his <\/p>\n<p>252<br \/>\n00:17:23,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:26,839<br \/>\nbed.<br \/>\nHe sets himself in a way that is<\/p>\n<p>253<br \/>\n00:17:26,880 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:30,640<br \/>\nnot good.<br \/>\nHe does not abhor evil. <\/p>\n<p>254<br \/>\n00:17:31,920 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:36,360<br \/>\nAnd now lastly, in our flurry of<br \/>\nverses in James 417. <\/p>\n<p>255<br \/>\n00:17:36,960 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:42,880<br \/>\nTherefore, to him who knows to<br \/>\ndo good and does not do it to <\/p>\n<p>256<br \/>\n00:17:42,880 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:49,120<br \/>\nhim it is sin.<br \/>\nSo from these pages of scripture<\/p>\n<p>257<br \/>\n00:17:49,120 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:52,200<br \/>\nwe are seen and compelled by God<br \/>\nto do good. <\/p>\n<p>258<br \/>\n00:17:53,080 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:57,680<br \/>\nYes, we may have to learn to do<br \/>\ngood, we may have to bring to <\/p>\n<p>259<br \/>\n00:17:57,680 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:02,040<br \/>\nremembrance good, or increase<br \/>\nour ability to do good. <\/p>\n<p>260<br \/>\n00:18:03,120 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:09,240<br \/>\nBut to do good is of God, and<br \/>\nnot to do good is a sin. <\/p>\n<p>261<br \/>\n00:18:10,640 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:14,480<br \/>\nSo we are to turn away from evil<br \/>\nand any form of wickedness. <\/p>\n<p>262<br \/>\n00:18:15,720 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:19,760<br \/>\nPaul&#8217;s letter to the Galatians,<br \/>\n5\/19 he would write. <\/p>\n<p>263<br \/>\n00:18:20,480 &#8211;&gt;

00:18:58,960<br \/>\npractice such things will not<br \/>\ninherit the Kingdom of God. <\/p>\n<p>270<br \/>\n00:18:59,840 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:04,160<br \/>\nThese are the works of the<br \/>\nflesh, the ever increasing noise<\/p>\n<p>271<br \/>\n00:19:04,520 &#8211;&gt;

00:19:16,960<br \/>\nWe are encouraged to do good.<br \/>\nBut what might that be? <\/p>\n<p>274<br \/>\n00:19:18,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:24,120<br \/>\nJesus in Matthew 25 would say.<br \/>\nThen the king will say to those <\/p>\n<p>275<br \/>\n00:19:24,240 &#8211;&gt;
