Class 1 from this series was used for GCT Episode 041.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:19,900 –> 00:00:25,000
\nthoughts in First Kings chapter
\n12, the story of Rio bones <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:25,000 –> 00:00:29,900
\nmistake and we’re going to read
\nverses 1 through 16 of First <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:29,900 –> 00:00:32,500
\nKings chapter 12.
\nBut before we do, I’m going to <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:32,500 –> 00:00:37,800
\nsuggest that for those that know
\nthat this term there is a chiasm<\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:37,800 –> 00:00:41,500
\nin the structure of how the
\nnarrative is laid out for us in <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:41,500 –> 00:00:45,800
\nverses 1 through 16 of First,
\nKings chapter 12 and very <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:45,800 –> 00:00:47,500
\nbriefly if you’re not familiar
\nwith the term. <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:47,500 –> 00:00:50,600
\nAh, but the Hi, as mmm.
\nIt’s where the way that the the <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:50,600 –> 00:00:52,700
\nword is written.
\nAnd the story is told in such a <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:52,708 –> 00:00:57,200
\nway that there is a focal point
\nin the middle of the story and <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:57,200 –> 00:01:00,900
\neverything from beginning to end
\nWorks in parallel and matches to<\/p>\n
13
\n00:01:00,900 –> 00:01:02,800
\nbring us progressively to the
\nmiddle. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:03,000 –> 00:01:06,400
\nAnd there’s an important point
\nor lesson or there is some value<\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:06,400 –> 00:01:10,100
\nin identifying, the central
\npoint of the chiasm and the <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:10,100 –> 00:01:12,800
\nanalogy, I like to use for what
\nthis is, It’s like a, it’s like <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:12,800 –> 00:01:16,300
\na sandwich where you have your
\nbread layer on the outside, then<\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:16,300 –> 00:01:18,000
\nyou have here, your condiment
\nlife. <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:18,100 –> 00:01:20,900
\nLayer underneath that.
\nThen there’s a cure vegetable, <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:20,900 –> 00:01:23,800
\nlettuce tomato layer.
\nAnd finally, you get to the very<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:23,800 –> 00:01:26,300
\nmiddle, the center of the
\nsandwich, for the chiasm, and <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:26,300 –> 00:01:28,900
\nit’s a bit turkey, your the ham,
\nand so you refer to the <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:28,900 –> 00:01:32,500
\nsandwich, not as a lettuce and
\nmustard sandwich, or not, as a <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:32,500 –> 00:01:35,800
\nbread and mayonnaise sandwich,
\nyou call it a turkey sandwich, <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:35,800 –> 00:01:39,700
\nthe goal of the whole sandwich
\nis to get that turkey inside of <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:39,700 –> 00:01:42,100
\nyou.
\nAnd so, the point of the Bible <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:42,100 –> 00:01:46,300
\nchasms is to get us to that
\nfocal point to have something be<\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:46,300 –> 00:01:48,000
\ntaught for us from the
\nnarrative. <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:48,600 –> 00:01:52,200
\nSo I’m going to suggest as you
\nread verses 1 through 16, see if<\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:52,200 –> 00:01:55,300
\nyou can spot a little bit of a
\nstructure here and there will be<\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:55,300 –> 00:01:58,300
\na lesson when I when I learned
\nof this chiasm it changed my <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:58,300 –> 00:02:00,700
\nperception of the lesson of
\nrehoboam. <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:01,000 –> 00:02:05,500
\nSo First Kings chapter 12,
\nverses 1 through 16 says, in <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:05,500 –> 00:02:09,300
\nrehoboam went to shechem for
\nall, Israel had gone to shechem <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:09,300 –> 00:02:11,500
\nto make him King.
\nSo what happened? <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:11,500 –> 00:02:13,600
\nWhen jeroboam the son of nebat
\nheard it? <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:13,800 –> 00:02:16,200
\nHe was still in the presence of
\nKing Solomon and have been <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:16,200 –> 00:02:19,100
\ndrawing in Egypt that they And
\ncalled him. <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:19,700 –> 00:02:22,500
\nThen jeroboam in the whole
\nassembly of Israel, came and <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:22,500 –> 00:02:26,900
\nspoke to rehoboam saying your
\nfather made our yoke heavy now. <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:26,900 –> 00:02:30,200
\nTherefore lighten the burden
\nsome service of your father and <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:30,200 –> 00:02:33,500
\nhis heavy yoke which he put on
\nus and we will serve you. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:34,300 –> 00:02:38,500
\nSo he said to them depart for me
\nfrom three days, then come back <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:38,500 –> 00:02:41,800
\nto me.
\nAnd the people departed, then <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:41,800 –> 00:02:44,500
\nKing rehoboam consulted the
\nelders, who stood before his <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:44,500 –> 00:02:46,100
\nfather Solomon while he still
\nlived. <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:46,100 –> 00:02:48,200
\nAnd he said, how do you advise
\nme? <\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:48,300 –> 00:02:52,100
\nMe to answer these people and
\nthey spoke to him saying, if you<\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:52,100 –> 00:02:55,600
\nwill be a servant to these
\npeople today and serve them and <\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:55,600 –> 00:02:59,100
\nanswer them and speak.
\nGood words to them, then they <\/p>\n
51
\n00:02:59,100 –> 00:03:03,100
\nwill be your servants forever.
\nBut he rejected the advice, <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:03,100 –> 00:03:06,400
\nwhich the elders had given him
\nand consulted, the young men who<\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:06,400 –> 00:03:09,800
\nhad grown up with him, who stood
\nbefore him and he said to them, <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:10,300 –> 00:03:13,100
\nwhat advice do you give, how
\nshould be answer this? <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:13,100 –> 00:03:16,200
\nPeople who have spoken to me
\nsaying, lighten the Yoke which <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:16,200 –> 00:03:19,600
\nyour father put on us.
\nAnd the young man who had grown <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:19,600 –> 00:03:22,800
\nup with him spoke to him saying,
\nthus you shall speak to these <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:22,800 –> 00:03:26,600
\npeople who have spoken to.
\nYou saying your father made our <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:26,600 –> 00:03:29,400
\nyoke heavy but you make it
\nlighter on us. <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:29,900 –> 00:03:33,000
\nThus you shall say to them.
\nMy little finger shall be <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:33,000 –> 00:03:36,900
\nthicker than my father’s waist.
\nAnd now we’re as my father, put <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:36,900 –> 00:03:41,000
\na heavy yoke on you, I will add
\nto your yoke, my father, <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:41,000 –> 00:03:45,100
\nchastise you with whips but I
\nwill chastise you with scourges <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:46,100 –> 00:03:49,900
\nSo jeroboam, and all the people
\ncame to riobamba third day, as <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:49,900 –> 00:03:52,600
\nthe king of directed saying,
\ncome back to me the third day. <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:53,300 –> 00:03:56,300
\nThen the king answered, the
\npeople roughly and rejected the <\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:56,300 –> 00:03:59,600
\nadvice, which the elders had
\ngiven him and he spoke to them. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:03:59,600 –> 00:04:03,200
\nAccording to the advice of the
\nyoung men, saying my father, <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:03,200 –> 00:04:07,200
\nmade your yoke heavy but I will
\nadd to your yoke, my father, <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:07,200 –> 00:04:10,500
\nchastised you with whips, but I
\nwill chastise you with scourges.<\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:11,400 –> 00:04:13,500
\nSo the king did not listen to
\nthe people. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:14,000 –> 00:04:15,700
\nFor the turn of events was from
\nthe law. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:16,100 –> 00:04:19,500
\nThat he might fulfill his word,
\nwhich the Lord has spoken by a <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:19,500 –> 00:04:22,600
\nHydra the shamonite to jeroboam
\nthe son of nebat. <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:23,400 –> 00:04:26,800
\nNow when all Israel saw at the
\nking, did not listen to them. <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:27,200 –> 00:04:30,500
\nThe people answered the king
\nsaying what share have we and <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:30,500 –> 00:04:34,900
\nDavid we have no inheritance in
\nthe son of Jesse to your tents o<\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:34,900 –> 00:04:37,500
\nIsrael.
\nNow, see to your own house. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:37,600 –> 00:04:42,400
\nOh, David Okay, so a story, were
\nall very familiar with and have <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:42,407 –> 00:04:46,200
\nheard this lesson before about
\nRio bones mistaken, his decision<\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:46,200 –> 00:04:49,300
\nand some of you may be aware of
\nthe structure already of this <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:49,300 –> 00:04:51,100
\nchapter.
\nBut when I, when I encountered <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:51,100 –> 00:04:54,200
\nit, it really sort of rearrange
\nhow I viewed this lesson. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:54,200 –> 00:04:57,600
\nAnd so I’ll suggest that this is
\nthe chiastic structure of this <\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:57,600 –> 00:05:01,300
\nstory that it begins in verse 1
\nand ends in verse 16 with all <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:01,300 –> 00:05:05,300
\nIsrael being assembled to begin
\nwith to consult, Rio bone. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:05,300 –> 00:05:08,500
\nAnd then in verse 16, when they
\ndecide to really Rebel and <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:08,500 –> 00:05:12,000
\nthey’re upset with, All Israel
\nis referred to in verses 1 and <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:12,008 –> 00:05:16,900
\n16.
\nThen in verses 2 and verse 15. <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:17,600 –> 00:05:22,000
\nWe have the presence of jeroboam
\nthe son of nebat, as the leader,<\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:22,000 –> 00:05:24,500
\nwho brought the people against
\nriobamba in verse 2. <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:24,500 –> 00:05:27,300
\nAnd then, as sort of the
\nbeginning of the rebellion, in <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:27,300 –> 00:05:30,000
\nverse 3, is a person who would
\nlead them away from rehoboam. <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:31,100 –> 00:05:35,300
\nIn verses 3 and 4 and also in
\nverses 13 and 14 is the <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:35,300 –> 00:05:38,800
\npresentation of the problem
\nwhere the people in verses 3 and<\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:38,800 –> 00:05:43,300
\n4 told rehoboam hey will be your
\nfather put this heavy yoke upon <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:43,300 –> 00:05:47,400
\nus and in verses 13 and 14.
\nThe king repeats that this was <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:47,400 –> 00:05:50,000
\ndone to them when he gives them
\ntheir answer. <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:52,100 –> 00:05:55,000
\nIn verses 5 and 12 is sort of
\nthe set up of the story. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:55,000 –> 00:05:57,800
\nHowry Obama says I’m going to
\ntake three days, come back to me<\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:57,800 –> 00:06:01,500
\nin three days and then verse 12
\nis after the third day then come<\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:01,500 –> 00:06:03,200
\nback and they speak with
\nrehoboam. <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:03,800 –> 00:06:07,900
\nAnd so then we have on either
\nside of what really is the <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:07,900 –> 00:06:12,900
\ncenter of the chiasm is on one
\nhand rehoboam Consulting the <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:12,900 –> 00:06:15,500
\nelders first in verses 6 through
\n7. <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:15,600 –> 00:06:19,200
\nHe consults the old man for
\ntheir advice and likewise in <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:19,200 –> 00:06:22,200
\nverses 9 through 11.
\nConsults the young men and <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:22,200 –> 00:06:25,600
\nconsults his friends.
\nBut what’s in the middle? <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:25,900 –> 00:06:28,100
\nWhat is the central point of
\nthis story? <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:29,400 –> 00:06:32,800
\nIs that really boehm rejected,
\nthe elders advice. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:32,800 –> 00:06:35,800
\nNow, you might be saying Mike,
\nwe already knew that, but if you<\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:35,800 –> 00:06:39,300
\npicture, now, the reason for
\nthis being the center of the <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:39,300 –> 00:06:44,300
\nstory and I think I have two
\nmore arrows in him, is that if <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:44,300 –> 00:06:47,000
\nthis is the focal point, if this
\nis the fulcrum on, which the <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:47,000 –> 00:06:51,300
\nwhole story hinges, and
\noscillates is his rejection of <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:51,300 –> 00:06:53,900
\nthe elders.
\nIt means that everything on the <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:53,900 –> 00:06:57,700
\nfirst half matches the second
\nhalf and what happened in the <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:57,700 –> 00:07:01,600
\nfirst half, obviously happened
\nbefore the second half, which <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:01,600 –> 00:07:05,200
\nmeans that rehoboam is a
\nrejection of the elders came <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:05,200 –> 00:07:08,000
\nbefore he consulted, with the
\nyoung men. <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:08,600 –> 00:07:11,900
\nAnd I always sort of thought
\nthat Rio boehm this has made me <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:11,900 –> 00:07:14,900
\na misperception My part, he
\ntalked to the elders, talk to <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:14,907 –> 00:07:17,600
\nthe young man.
\nWait out the pros and cons and <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:17,600 –> 00:07:20,400
\nhe unfortunately, chose the old
\nmatter, did not choose the old <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:20,400 –> 00:07:22,100
\nman’s idea.
\nHe went with his friends, the <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:22,100 –> 00:07:26,500
\nyoung man.
\nBut this chiasm shows us that <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:26,500 –> 00:07:29,100
\nthe problem where you bone made
\nwas not that he made the wrong <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:29,100 –> 00:07:31,500
\ndecision in choosing one over
\nthe other. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:32,200 –> 00:07:34,000
\nBut that he really didn’t make a
\ndecision at all. <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:34,000 –> 00:07:37,200
\nHe just reject it outright the
\nelders advice. <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:37,300 –> 00:07:40,800
\nHe did not really fully consider
\nit because if you look at verse <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:40,800 –> 00:07:44,800
\n8, it says here, Rejected the
\nadvice which the elders had <\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:44,800 –> 00:07:48,800
\ngiven him and then consulted,
\nthe young men, what other choice<\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:48,800 –> 00:07:50,000
\nof that point?
\nWould he have? <\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:50,100 –> 00:07:53,000
\nHe rejected the old man’s advice
\nand so therefore whatever, the <\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:53,000 –> 00:07:55,700
\nyoung man would say was going to
\nbe his answer. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:07:56,200 –> 00:07:59,300
\nThe problem with rehoboam was
\nnot that he made a bad choice <\/p>\n
138
\n00:07:59,300 –> 00:08:03,500
\nbetween two options was that he
\nonly gave himself one option and<\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:03,500 –> 00:08:08,500
\nhe rejected the wrong course and
\nthe chiasm shows this for us and<\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:08,500 –> 00:08:12,300
\nthis is the classic lesson of
\nthe Old Testament of how <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:12,300 –> 00:08:15,300
\ncritical Go.
\nIt is for us to heed the advice <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:15,300 –> 00:08:20,200
\nof Elders, and if anyone who
\noutright rejects the wisdom of <\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:20,200 –> 00:08:23,400
\nan older person in their life,
\nthey’ve made a mistake. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:23,400 –> 00:08:26,700
\nIf they do not put weight and
\nCare into it and the New <\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:26,700 –> 00:08:32,100
\nTestament picks up this lesson
\nfor us. 1st Timothy 5:17 says, <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:32,600 –> 00:08:36,299
\nlet the elders who rule well be
\ncounted worthy of double honor. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:36,700 –> 00:08:40,200
\nEspecially those who labor in
\nword and Doctrine, and <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:40,200 –> 00:08:42,500
\nDeuteronomy chapter 32 verse 7
\nsays. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:42,600 –> 00:08:46,600
\nSays, remember the days of old
\nconsider the years of many <\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:46,600 –> 00:08:52,100
\ngenerations, ask your father and
\nhe will show you your elders and<\/p>\n
151
\n00:08:52,100 –> 00:08:55,200
\nthey will tell you.
\nAnd so, the advice year in the <\/p>\n
152
\n00:08:55,200 –> 00:08:59,200
\nlaw of Moses, even as far back
\nin the Bible, is that we can’t <\/p>\n
153
\n00:08:59,200 –> 00:09:02,800
\nmake the mistake of Rhea boehm.
\nWe’ve got to go out of our way <\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:03,100 –> 00:09:06,600
\nto consult elders and get the
\nadvice from our fathers from our<\/p>\n
155
\n00:09:06,600 –> 00:09:11,000
\ngrandfathers.
\nFirst Peter 5:5. <\/p>\n
156
\n00:09:11,700 –> 00:09:15,800
\nIt’s Peter writes likewise you
\nyounger people submit yourselves<\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:15,800 –> 00:09:17,600
\nto your elders?
\nYes. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:09:17,600 –> 00:09:21,700
\nAll of you be submissive to one
\nanother and be clothed with <\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:21,700 –> 00:09:26,100
\nhumility and so in the Ecclesia
\nit’s obviously it’s one thing <\/p>\n
160
\n00:09:26,100 –> 00:09:29,700
\nthat the wrong choice is to just
\nreject what others have to say. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:09:30,300 –> 00:09:33,500
\nBut the message of this verse
\nhere is that quite the opposite,<\/p>\n
162
\n00:09:33,500 –> 00:09:37,500
\nwe re actually really should
\nvalue and embrace and Elevate <\/p>\n
163
\n00:09:37,800 –> 00:09:42,300
\nthe wisdom of Others, not simply
\nnot dismiss it, but actually <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:42,300 –> 00:09:44,600
\ngive it priority and make it
\nimportant. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:45,900 –> 00:09:49,100
\nAnd this really is a huge
\nchallenge for us now. <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:49,500 –> 00:09:52,200
\nGave it away too soon.
\nA huge challenge for us now <\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:52,200 –> 00:09:56,800
\nentering the year 2019, and the
\nday in which we live, where we <\/p>\n
168
\n00:09:56,800 –> 00:10:01,500
\nsee in the Bible, that we need
\nto prioritize the wisdom of our <\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:01,500 –> 00:10:05,900
\nelders and not reject it.
\nBut yet there’s a real challenge<\/p>\n
170
\n00:10:05,900 –> 00:10:09,800
\nthat I think is specific to this
\ngeneration obviously throughout <\/p>\n
171
\n00:10:09,800 –> 00:10:12,000
\nthe course of time.
\nIt’s always been a difficult <\/p>\n
172
\n00:10:12,000 –> 00:10:16,100
\nthing for wisdom to diffuse and
\nsort of spread from Older to <\/p>\n
173
\n00:10:16,100 –> 00:10:18,100
\nyounger.
\nI’m not saying it’s ever really <\/p>\n
174
\n00:10:18,100 –> 00:10:22,000
\nbeen easy for wisdom to be
\npassed down, and I’m sure every <\/p>\n
175
\n00:10:22,000 –> 00:10:25,200
\ngeneration would say all, you
\nknow, those old people they’re <\/p>\n
176
\n00:10:25,200 –> 00:10:27,100
\nout of touch.
\nWhat did they have to offer us? <\/p>\n
177
\n00:10:27,500 –> 00:10:30,900
\nIt’s been a challenge for
\neveryone as far back in biblical<\/p>\n
178
\n00:10:30,900 –> 00:10:34,800
\ntimes, but for us in our day and
\nage, there is an additional <\/p>\n
179
\n00:10:34,800 –> 00:10:37,500
\nbarrier.
\nThere is an additional wrinkle <\/p>\n
180
\n00:10:37,800 –> 00:10:42,400
\nthat makes this critical lesson
\neven more difficult to apply in <\/p>\n
181
\n00:10:42,400 –> 00:10:45,800
\nour lives.
\nAnd I would suggest we can See <\/p>\n
182
\n00:10:45,800 –> 00:10:50,700
\nit in this survey done by
\nNielsen two years ago in 2017, <\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:50,700 –> 00:10:54,400
\nasking the question does
\ntechnology make my life easier <\/p>\n
184
\n00:10:55,100 –> 00:10:58,600
\nand Millennials and if you’re
\nnot quite sure that the terms <\/p>\n
185
\n00:10:58,600 –> 00:11:01,500
\nhere, Millennials be people
\nabout about my age and down to <\/p>\n
186
\n00:11:01,500 –> 00:11:06,300
\nsee, maybe age, 20 or so, they
\noverwhelmingly said, yes, 3\/4 of<\/p>\n
187
\n00:11:06,300 –> 00:11:10,900
\nMillennials Embrace technology
\nas part of their lives Gen X, <\/p>\n
188
\n00:11:10,900 –> 00:11:13,500
\nwhich would be people sort of in
\ntheir 40s and 50s. <\/p>\n
189
\n00:11:13,500 –> 00:11:17,100
\nIf you will, they said
\nOne-third. <\/p>\n
190
\n00:11:17,100 –> 00:11:19,300
\nYes.
\nYou know Technologies, okay. 1\/3<\/p>\n
191
\n00:11:19,300 –> 00:11:23,300
\nembrace it but then the baby
\nboomer sort of my parents age <\/p>\n
192
\n00:11:23,600 –> 00:11:27,700
\nthe sort of the grandparents
\nright now under 20 percent said <\/p>\n
193
\n00:11:27,700 –> 00:11:30,700
\nyes.
\nAnd so the additional wrinkle. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:11:30,700 –> 00:11:34,400
\nOur Generation has an article
\nIsha at this point in time. <\/p>\n
195
\n00:11:34,800 –> 00:11:38,700
\nIs that there is a different
\nworld in which young people <\/p>\n
196
\n00:11:38,700 –> 00:11:42,500
\noperate and conduct their
\nbusiness from the world in which<\/p>\n
197
\n00:11:42,500 –> 00:11:46,000
\nolder folks and grandparents
\noperate and Conduct their <\/p>\n
198
\n00:11:46,000 –> 00:11:50,300
\nbusiness and technology makes it
\neven harder for us to bridge the<\/p>\n
199
\n00:11:50,300 –> 00:11:54,900
\ngap and allow wisdom to be
\npassed down from grandparent to <\/p>\n
200
\n00:11:54,900 –> 00:12:00,500
\nparent the child to grandchild.
\nNow I’ll speak anecdotally and <\/p>\n
201
\n00:12:00,500 –> 00:12:02,700
\nI’m sure a lot of you will
\nprobably resonate and you can <\/p>\n
202
\n00:12:02,700 –> 00:12:06,000
\nthink of in your own lives of
\nwhere some of these gaps are and<\/p>\n
203
\n00:12:06,000 –> 00:12:10,100
\nsome of these barriers are and
\none of the big ones is, how <\/p>\n
204
\n00:12:10,100 –> 00:12:14,600
\nwe’re living more and more in a
\npaperless world and we use our <\/p>\n
205
\n00:12:14,600 –> 00:12:17,700
\ndevices and tablets and
\ncomputers to store information <\/p>\n
206
\n00:12:17,900 –> 00:12:21,800
\nand files and data and records
\nand intellectual property. <\/p>\n
207
\n00:12:22,200 –> 00:12:25,600
\nAnd it’s all now being put out
\nin the cloud and at work, like <\/p>\n
208
\n00:12:25,600 –> 00:12:28,000
\nwe’re paperless and I don’t use
\npaper at me. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:12:28,200 –> 00:12:31,400
\nWork hardly at all.
\nBut in the Ecclesia, you might <\/p>\n
210
\n00:12:31,400 –> 00:12:34,200
\ngo to a Bible class and the
\nspeaker gives you a printout <\/p>\n
211
\n00:12:34,200 –> 00:12:38,500
\npacket of 18 pages.
\nAnd I say what, what is this <\/p>\n
212
\n00:12:38,500 –> 00:12:40,700
\nIkea?
\nI have no place for this. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:12:40,700 –> 00:12:43,800
\nI don’t read these papers
\nanymore, and I’m not saying one <\/p>\n
214
\n00:12:43,800 –> 00:12:46,700
\nis, is it good or evil?
\nI’m not saying that the young <\/p>\n
215
\n00:12:46,700 –> 00:12:48,900
\npeople are wrong and the old
\npeople I got it right? <\/p>\n
216
\n00:12:48,900 –> 00:12:51,000
\nOr they’ll people have it wrong
\nand the young people have it, <\/p>\n
217
\n00:12:51,000 –> 00:12:53,600
\nright?
\nOne isn’t better than the other.<\/p>\n
218
\n00:12:53,600 –> 00:12:57,500
\nIt’s just they’re different and
\nso a generation that grew up <\/p>\n
219
\n00:12:57,500 –> 00:12:59,800
\nprinting things out and have
\nfile. <\/p>\n
220
\n00:13:00,000 –> 00:13:03,300
\nFull of paper.
\nThey that’s how they function. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:13:03,300 –> 00:13:06,800
\nAnd it’s so different from young
\npeople who have everything on my<\/p>\n
222
\n00:13:06,800 –> 00:13:08,400
\nphone’s over there.
\nThey have everything. <\/p>\n
223
\n00:13:08,400 –> 00:13:11,400
\nNow in the palm of their hand at
\nthe don’t print out anything. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:13:12,100 –> 00:13:15,900
\nI still have the printer.
\nI had 20 years ago because I <\/p>\n
225
\n00:13:15,900 –> 00:13:19,300
\nonly ever print out a few pages
\nvery seldomly throughout the <\/p>\n
226
\n00:13:19,300 –> 00:13:21,900
\nyear.
\nAnd so there’s things like this <\/p>\n
227
\n00:13:21,900 –> 00:13:25,900
\njust printing, it is only one
\nsort of small example of how <\/p>\n
228
\n00:13:25,900 –> 00:13:29,000
\nthere’s different mediums and
\nways that Our Generations <\/p>\n
229
\n00:13:29,000 –> 00:13:31,600
\noperate.
\nWhich makes bridging this Gap. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:13:31,600 –> 00:13:35,500
\nAll the more difficult.
\nOne of the survey respondents to<\/p>\n
231
\n00:13:35,500 –> 00:13:39,300
\nNielsen, this was a part of the
\nfurther pages of the report she <\/p>\n
232
\n00:13:39,300 –> 00:13:43,300
\nwas referencing how she does
\ncommunicate or interface with <\/p>\n
233
\n00:13:43,300 –> 00:13:45,500
\nolder people.
\nAnd I thought the school was <\/p>\n
234
\n00:13:45,500 –> 00:13:48,600
\nreally revealing.
\nShe said, I communicate with my <\/p>\n
235
\n00:13:48,600 –> 00:13:53,100
\nparents on Facebook.
\nNow the reason that so striking <\/p>\n
236
\n00:13:53,100 –> 00:13:55,400
\nis that you would think that
\nFacebook, okay? <\/p>\n
237
\n00:13:55,800 –> 00:13:58,400
\nYour grandparents got on
\nFacebook, there are sort of in <\/p>\n
238
\n00:13:58,400 –> 00:14:02,400
\nyour world isn’t that the way it
\nshould go, but even Facebook <\/p>\n
239
\n00:14:02,400 –> 00:14:06,800
\nnow, Viewed as the old and out
\nof date and Antiquated system. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:14:07,100 –> 00:14:10,600
\nAnd this chart I put together
\nhere really shows how young <\/p>\n
241
\n00:14:10,600 –> 00:14:13,200
\npeople.
\nThey’re so far ahead of even my <\/p>\n
242
\n00:14:13,200 –> 00:14:15,700
\ngeneration and how they interact
\nwith each other. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:14:16,000 –> 00:14:19,200
\nAnd I’m not saying it’s good or
\nbad, it’s just different. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:14:19,300 –> 00:14:22,100
\nSo, we got the older folks, the
\nBaby Boomers and Gen-X. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:14:22,100 –> 00:14:26,100
\nA lot of traditional phone calls
\nthings printed out, they <\/p>\n
246
\n00:14:26,100 –> 00:14:30,100
\nexchanged phone numbers and read
\nbooks, but gen Z Millennials. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:14:30,100 –> 00:14:33,000
\nIt’s all now texting and apps
\nand Snapchat. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:14:33,200 –> 00:14:36,700
\nAt and Instagram, and back in
\nthe day, if you will, if you <\/p>\n
249
\n00:14:36,700 –> 00:14:39,900
\nwere interested in someone of
\nthe opposite gender, you ask for<\/p>\n
250
\n00:14:39,900 –> 00:14:42,700
\ntheir number.
\nNow young, people ask for their <\/p>\n
251
\n00:14:42,700 –> 00:14:45,300
\nother person’s Snapchat or
\nInstagram. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:14:45,300 –> 00:14:49,400
\nThis is just the world in which
\nthey live and people reach to be<\/p>\n
253
\n00:14:49,400 –> 00:14:51,900
\ngrew up with books and reading
\nthings printed out. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:14:52,000 –> 00:14:56,100
\nNow, everything is on a screen,
\neverything’s digital and out in <\/p>\n
255
\n00:14:56,100 –> 00:14:59,700
\nthe cloud.
\nSo how do we deal with this? <\/p>\n
256
\n00:14:59,700 –> 00:15:03,000
\nHow do we overcome this?
\nWhere the message of the Bible <\/p>\n
257
\n00:15:03,000 –> 00:15:07,300
\nis that we should not only not
\njust sort of put off and discard<\/p>\n
258
\n00:15:07,300 –> 00:15:10,700
\nour elders advice because it’s
\nvaluable but we really should <\/p>\n
259
\n00:15:10,700 –> 00:15:13,000
\nembrace it and enhance it.
\nHow do we do it? <\/p>\n
260
\n00:15:13,300 –> 00:15:16,700
\nIf young people aren’t even
\ninterfacing with our elders <\/p>\n
261
\n00:15:16,900 –> 00:15:19,800
\nbecause they’re in a totally
\ndifferent world online. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:15:20,500 –> 00:15:23,100
\nThink it’s a real challenge for
\nus to face. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:15:24,200 –> 00:15:28,500
\nI’ve got a few suggestions one,
\nis that young people? <\/p>\n
264
\n00:15:28,500 –> 00:15:31,800
\nAnd I’m going to sort of let
\nmyself in with this group, we <\/p>\n
265
\n00:15:31,800 –> 00:15:37,400
\nneed to try our best to see past
\ntechnology and look at all the <\/p>\n
266
\n00:15:37,400 –> 00:15:42,800
\nother aspects of life in which
\nElders have expertise and wisdom<\/p>\n
267
\n00:15:42,900 –> 00:15:46,300
\nto share the problem.
\nI need to overcome in the <\/p>\n
268
\n00:15:46,300 –> 00:15:49,200
\nexample of the printed out,
\npackets or pieces of paper. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:15:49,600 –> 00:15:53,100
\nIs that the teacher for that
\nclass had a great message to <\/p>\n
270
\n00:15:53,100 –> 00:15:55,600
\nshare it.
\nReally, really good class. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:15:55,700 –> 00:15:58,800
\nBut in my own mind, I was sort
\nof thrown off at the very <\/p>\n
272
\n00:15:58,800 –> 00:16:03,500
\nbeginning because of the paper
\nthing, I need to let that go and<\/p>\n
273
\n00:16:03,500 –> 00:16:08,000
\nI need to view the wisdom of
\nElders as a valuable thing, even<\/p>\n
274
\n00:16:08,000 –> 00:16:11,500
\nif the medium on which it comes
\nacross, is foreign to me. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:16:12,400 –> 00:16:17,700
\nAnd likewise we should try to
\nfacilitate events or <\/p>\n
276
\n00:16:17,700 –> 00:16:21,600
\nget-togethers or whatever.
\nThis looks like, where the <\/p>\n
277
\n00:16:21,600 –> 00:16:25,900
\nmedium no longer is important.
\nCall it a joint territory here. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:16:26,300 –> 00:16:29,600
\nWe need to try to develop
\nopportunities for young people <\/p>\n
279
\n00:16:29,600 –> 00:16:33,800
\nand Elders to actually get
\ntogether and talk where it isn’t<\/p>\n
280
\n00:16:33,800 –> 00:16:36,200
\nonline.
\nAnd it, maybe it isn’t an old <\/p>\n
281
\n00:16:36,200 –> 00:16:39,000
\nway either, where it’s something
\nis printed out, or it’s an <\/p>\n
282
\n00:16:39,000 –> 00:16:41,000
\nold-fashioned presentation.
\nI did. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:16:41,000 –> 00:16:44,000
\nWe don’t need to have old people
\nlike dishing out pamphlets, but <\/p>\n
284
\n00:16:44,000 –> 00:16:46,700
\nwe also don’t need to have young
\npeople saying, you have to meet <\/p>\n
285
\n00:16:46,700 –> 00:16:49,800
\nme online.
\nThere has to be places in our <\/p>\n
286
\n00:16:49,800 –> 00:16:52,900
\nEcclesia.
\nWe’re all generations can gather<\/p>\n
287
\n00:16:52,900 –> 00:16:54,800
\nand share.
\nDiscuss. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:16:55,400 –> 00:16:58,700
\nAnd perhaps a study day like
\nthis where we’re all together in<\/p>\n
289
\n00:16:58,700 –> 00:17:02,100
\none room and we’re all eating
\nthe same meal and sharing the <\/p>\n
290
\n00:17:02,100 –> 00:17:03,800
\nsame breaks.
\nPerhaps now is a great <\/p>\n
291
\n00:17:03,800 –> 00:17:07,400
\nopportunity to let some of that.
\nWisdom diffuse down from an <\/p>\n
292
\n00:17:07,400 –> 00:17:13,700
\nolder generation, a few more
\nsuggestions this one with with <\/p>\n
293
\n00:17:13,700 –> 00:17:18,500
\nthe most care and love and
\nproper rich but I can give If an<\/p>\n
294
\n00:17:18,599 –> 00:17:23,400
\nthe Ecclesia is going to have a
\ntechnology as part of its basic <\/p>\n
295
\n00:17:23,400 –> 00:17:27,099
\nfunctioning Elders, should try
\nas best they can and maybe some <\/p>\n
296
\n00:17:27,099 –> 00:17:31,000
\ncan’t, and that’s okay.
\nWe should try to develop some <\/p>\n
297
\n00:17:31,000 –> 00:17:34,800
\ncompetency if the Ecclesia is
\ngoing to use this. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:17:34,800 –> 00:17:39,700
\nAnd so this is a sort of a very
\nreal discussion about how we use<\/p>\n
299
\n00:17:39,900 –> 00:17:43,800
\nPowerPoint and how we use
\ncomputers and laptops to record <\/p>\n
300
\n00:17:43,800 –> 00:17:46,800
\nand present and share content in
\nthe Ecclesia. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:17:47,200 –> 00:17:49,700
\nAnd we have Respect.
\nIf some, if some brothers or <\/p>\n
302
\n00:17:49,700 –> 00:17:53,300
\nsisters, they say I’m just not
\ntechnological. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:17:53,300 –> 00:17:56,500
\nI need to do it the old way and
\nI’m just going to speak from <\/p>\n
304
\n00:17:56,500 –> 00:17:59,100
\nnotes or I’m just going to share
\nThoughts with you via <\/p>\n
305
\n00:17:59,100 –> 00:18:02,500
\nconversation.
\nWe should as young people <\/p>\n
306
\n00:18:02,800 –> 00:18:06,100
\nEmbrace that and see that, even
\nthough it isn’t our preferred <\/p>\n
307
\n00:18:06,100 –> 00:18:11,000
\nmedium, there’s incredible value
\nand benefit to interfacing with <\/p>\n
308
\n00:18:11,000 –> 00:18:16,200
\nour elders in that way, but if
\nour elders are going to try to <\/p>\n
309
\n00:18:16,200 –> 00:18:20,900
\nuse PowerPoints or two, To use
\nslides, please try to be <\/p>\n
310
\n00:18:20,900 –> 00:18:24,900
\nsomewhat minimally competent
\nwith it because nothing throws <\/p>\n
311
\n00:18:24,900 –> 00:18:28,800
\noff a young person more than
\njust seeing a brutal, sloppy <\/p>\n
312
\n00:18:28,900 –> 00:18:32,200
\nPowerPoint presentation, where
\nit’s just ugly and you can’t pay<\/p>\n
313
\n00:18:32,200 –> 00:18:35,600
\nattention to it.
\nThe standard has been raised at <\/p>\n
314
\n00:18:35,600 –> 00:18:39,700
\nour schools and in our
\nworkplaces that presentations <\/p>\n
315
\n00:18:39,700 –> 00:18:42,900
\nhave to be crisp and we can’t
\nhave that in the Ecclesia <\/p>\n
316
\n00:18:42,900 –> 00:18:46,000
\nbecause it’s a different world
\nand our young people are going <\/p>\n
317
\n00:18:46,000 –> 00:18:50,300
\nto struggle with it.
\nAnd finally young people, <\/p>\n
318
\n00:18:50,300 –> 00:18:52,700
\nnonetheless, this really is a
\nmessage for us. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:18:53,200 –> 00:18:57,600
\nWe need to go out of our way and
\ntry to find ways to interact <\/p>\n
320
\n00:18:57,600 –> 00:19:00,300
\nwith our elders.
\nThat might mean, you’re not <\/p>\n
321
\n00:19:00,300 –> 00:19:04,400
\ngoing to find them on Snapchat
\nand Instagram, maybe you use <\/p>\n
322
\n00:19:04,400 –> 00:19:06,300
\nFacebook for this.
\nI wouldn’t suggest it. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:19:06,700 –> 00:19:09,200
\nWe may actually actually have to
\nactually have a conversation and<\/p>\n
324
\n00:19:09,200 –> 00:19:12,000
\ntalk with an elder and once
\nagain I’m going to speak <\/p>\n
325
\n00:19:12,000 –> 00:19:14,200
\nanecdotally.
\nI look back at when I was a <\/p>\n
326
\n00:19:14,200 –> 00:19:17,000
\nyoung person.
\nSo go back to the 90s back when <\/p>\n
327
\n00:19:17,000 –> 00:19:22,900
\nI was Say age 17 through 24 and
\nsuch critical Faith formation in<\/p>\n
328
\n00:19:22,900 –> 00:19:27,200
\nmy life took place as a dip for
\na lot of other young people at <\/p>\n
329
\n00:19:27,200 –> 00:19:29,300
\nUncle.
\nRoy Styles is house for Mutual <\/p>\n
330
\n00:19:29,300 –> 00:19:31,200
\nimprovement classes on Monday
\nnights. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:19:31,600 –> 00:19:35,400
\nAnd that was such an immensely
\nvaluable time for the wisdom of <\/p>\n
332
\n00:19:35,400 –> 00:19:37,900
\nthis particular brother.
\nAnd those that were there. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:19:38,100 –> 00:19:41,800
\nIt’s a pass on advice and
\ncounsel and wisdom to us who <\/p>\n
334
\n00:19:41,800 –> 00:19:45,400
\nwere the young people back then,
\nand we need to try to develop <\/p>\n
335
\n00:19:45,500 –> 00:19:49,000
\nopportunities like that.
\nNow, I’m trying to think and I’m<\/p>\n
336
\n00:19:49,000 –> 00:19:52,700
\nnot sure if it exists, I know
\nthere is an effort coming this <\/p>\n
337
\n00:19:52,700 –> 00:19:56,500
\nfall for like a Saturday
\nmorning, like bible discussion <\/p>\n
338
\n00:19:56,500 –> 00:20:00,500
\nsession for people in the cyc
\nand four others in the Ecclesia <\/p>\n
339
\n00:20:00,500 –> 00:20:03,500
\nto get together and discuss.
\nThese are the kind of events <\/p>\n
340
\n00:20:03,800 –> 00:20:06,200
\nthat I suggest are currently
\nabsent. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:20:06,400 –> 00:20:09,100
\nAnd that we need to bring back
\ninto our Ecclesia. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:20:09,500 –> 00:20:13,600
\nBecause right now, technology is
\nseparating us and we should go <\/p>\n
343
\n00:20:13,600 –> 00:20:17,200
\nout of our way to make those
\nopportunities very real They <\/p>\n
344
\n00:20:17,200 –> 00:20:21,400
\nwere so critical for me as a
\nyoung man to have Uncle Roy and <\/p>\n
345
\n00:20:21,400 –> 00:20:24,100
\nyou know in Grandpa Ray and
\nGrandpa John you can name all <\/p>\n
346
\n00:20:24,100 –> 00:20:28,000
\nthe names they were a part of
\nour lives and we learn so much <\/p>\n
347
\n00:20:28,000 –> 00:20:32,300
\nfrom them, but is that happening
\nnow in our current Ecclesia <\/p>\n
348
\n00:20:32,300 –> 00:20:34,700
\nenvironment?
\nAnd if it isn’t, we really <\/p>\n
349
\n00:20:34,700 –> 00:20:38,400
\nshould bring it back because it
\nwas so huge for the people now, <\/p>\n
350
\n00:20:38,400 –> 00:20:43,000
\nwho are like Gen X and
\nMillennials, we had that now gen<\/p>\n
351
\n00:20:43,000 –> 00:20:46,700
\nZ needs it more than ever.
\nSo as we enter our five-minute <\/p>\n
352
\n00:20:46,800 –> 00:20:49,900
\nDiscussion.
\nThese are two questions to think<\/p>\n
353
\n00:20:49,900 –> 00:20:55,900
\nabout what prevents young people
\nfrom respecting, and valuing the<\/p>\n
354
\n00:20:55,900 –> 00:20:59,800
\nwisdom of Elders.
\nAnd how do we overcome that? <\/p>\n
355
\n00:21:01,400 –> 00:21:04,400
\nAnd how do we Bridge the
\ncommunication gap caused by <\/p>\n
356
\n00:21:04,400 –> 00:21:08,500
\ntechnology and before I sit down
\nthese two questions, I would <\/p>\n
357
\n00:21:08,500 –> 00:21:10,300
\nsuggest really should be
\nfocused. <\/p>\n
358
\n00:21:10,600 –> 00:21:14,100
\nIt’s a people my age and younger
\nto the the young people in the <\/p>\n
359
\n00:21:14,100 –> 00:21:17,500
\nare collegial environment.
\nI think it’s really up to us to <\/p>\n
360
\n00:21:17,500 –> 00:21:21,500
\ngo out of our way as best we can
\nto reach out and discuss with <\/p>\n
361
\n00:21:21,500 –> 00:21:23,800
\ntheir Elders.
\nThese two questions are <\/p>\n
362
\n00:21:23,800 –> 00:21:25,900
\nquestions for us to take away in
\ndisgust. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:21:25,900 –> 00:21:28,600
\nBut let’s spend 5 minutes and
\nI’ll talk about it right now. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:21:28,900 –> 00:27:07,600
\nThank you.
\nAlright, welcome back everyone <\/p>\n
365
\n00:27:08,700 –> 00:27:11,000
\nand by the way, thank you for
\nsuch Lively discussion during <\/p>\n
366
\n00:27:11,000 –> 00:27:13,400
\nthe chat so I was a little bit
\nworried that wouldn’t work out <\/p>\n
367
\n00:27:13,400 –> 00:27:15,600
\nbut I think it was a good thing
\nthat it to try. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:27:16,600 –> 00:27:19,300
\nSo now we’re going to come to
\nour last session for today <\/p>\n
369
\n00:27:19,700 –> 00:27:22,100
\nsession.
\nSix, I’d like us to begin in <\/p>\n
370
\n00:27:22,100 –> 00:27:24,000
\nJudges chapter 2 for this
\nsession. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:27:27,500 –> 00:27:29,800
\nJudges chapter 2.
\nI’m going to read verses 7 <\/p>\n
372
\n00:27:29,800 –> 00:27:32,500
\nthrough 10.
\nThis being about the, the end <\/p>\n
373
\n00:27:32,500 –> 00:27:36,900
\nof, of Joshua’s life and the
\nLegacy, he left just chapter 2, <\/p>\n
374
\n00:27:36,900 –> 00:27:40,900
\nverses 7 through 10.
\nSo the people serve the Lord, <\/p>\n
375
\n00:27:41,000 –> 00:27:45,000
\nall the days of Joshua and all
\nthe days of the elders, who <\/p>\n
376
\n00:27:45,000 –> 00:27:48,600
\noutlived, Joshua, who had seen
\nall the great works of the Lord,<\/p>\n
377
\n00:27:48,600 –> 00:27:53,000
\nwhich he had done for Israel.
\nNow, Joshua, the son of nun, the<\/p>\n
378
\n00:27:53,000 –> 00:27:57,000
\nservant of the Lord died when he
\nwas 110 years old. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:27:57,500 –> 00:28:00,000
\nAnd they buried him within the
\nborder of his inheritance at <\/p>\n
380
\n00:28:00,000 –> 00:28:02,300
\nTimnath here, is in the
\nmountains of Ephraim on the <\/p>\n
381
\n00:28:02,300 –> 00:28:06,200
\nnorth side of Mount geish, when
\nall that generation have been <\/p>\n
382
\n00:28:06,200 –> 00:28:10,000
\ngathered to their fathers,
\nanother generation arose after <\/p>\n
383
\n00:28:10,000 –> 00:28:15,000
\nthem, who did not know the Lord,
\nnor the work, which he had done <\/p>\n
384
\n00:28:15,000 –> 00:28:18,200
\nfor Israel.
\nHow could this be? <\/p>\n
385
\n00:28:19,200 –> 00:28:23,300
\nJoshua was such a faithful
\nWarrior for the Lord and led the<\/p>\n
386
\n00:28:23,300 –> 00:28:27,500
\npeople and such a fantastic
\nmanner for so many years and the<\/p>\n
387
\n00:28:27,500 –> 00:28:30,900
\ngeneration with him seem to have
\ndone a lot of really good things<\/p>\n
388
\n00:28:31,100 –> 00:28:35,000
\nand while they were alive, the
\nnation was in a great place. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:28:35,800 –> 00:28:39,500
\nBut how is it even possible at
\nthe very next Generation? <\/p>\n
390
\n00:28:40,200 –> 00:28:44,400
\nNot just made some mistakes or
\nfell off a little bit but did <\/p>\n
391
\n00:28:44,400 –> 00:28:48,500
\nnot know the Lord.
\nThey did not know him or his <\/p>\n
392
\n00:28:48,500 –> 00:28:51,000
\nworks.
\nHow could that have possibly <\/p>\n
393
\n00:28:51,000 –> 00:28:54,100
\nbeen?
\nWell, for whatever reasons, for <\/p>\n
394
\n00:28:54,100 –> 00:28:57,300
\nwhatever reason why the next
\ngeneration was not taught about <\/p>\n
395
\n00:28:57,300 –> 00:29:00,800
\nGod and did not know God.
\nWe all know what happened in the<\/p>\n
396
\n00:29:00,800 –> 00:29:04,600
\nrest of the Book of Judges where
\nwhat precedes is a series of <\/p>\n
397
\n00:29:04,600 –> 00:29:08,200
\nFollies and mistakes and ups and
\ndowns, where it’s all sort of <\/p>\n
398
\n00:29:08,200 –> 00:29:11,000
\ncategorized as the people doing
\nwhat was right in their own <\/p>\n
399
\n00:29:11,000 –> 00:29:13,000
\neyes.
\nThey all thought, what they were<\/p>\n
400
\n00:29:13,000 –> 00:29:16,400
\ndoing was right, but we look
\nback in hindsight and it was <\/p>\n
401
\n00:29:16,400 –> 00:29:20,300
\njust a colossal debacle.
\nBecause they weren’t taught <\/p>\n
402
\n00:29:20,300 –> 00:29:22,700
\nabout God.
\nThey did not know him. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:29:23,800 –> 00:29:27,600
\nHow could this possibly be?
\nAnd so, as the story of the <\/p>\n
404
\n00:29:27,600 –> 00:29:31,700
\nBible continues on and a few
\nGenerations later and the Psalms<\/p>\n
405
\n00:29:31,700 –> 00:29:34,800
\nare being put together, perhaps
\nthe people of Israel, <\/p>\n
406
\n00:29:34,800 –> 00:29:37,900
\ncollectively, learn this lesson
\nand saw the mistakes because the<\/p>\n
407
\n00:29:37,900 –> 00:29:41,700
\nsums actually has a bit of a
\nside note, the book of Psalms by<\/p>\n
408
\n00:29:41,700 –> 00:29:46,500
\nfar uses the word generation.
\nMore than any other book 35 <\/p>\n
409
\n00:29:46,500 –> 00:29:48,900
\ntimes in second place as an even
\nclose. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:29:49,600 –> 00:29:52,800
\nSo the words of the Psalms have
\na very clear Focus for us <\/p>\n
411
\n00:29:52,900 –> 00:29:55,800
\namongst many things.
\nBut one being about teaching the<\/p>\n
412
\n00:29:55,800 –> 00:29:59,500
\nNext Generation, Asian.
\nAnd so Psalm 48 verse 13 says, <\/p>\n
413
\n00:29:59,500 –> 00:30:03,300
\nMarquel her bulwarks, consider
\nher palaces that you may tell it<\/p>\n
414
\n00:30:03,300 –> 00:30:08,000
\nto the generation following.
\nSome 70 1 verse 18. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:30:08,600 –> 00:30:12,200
\nNow, also when I am old and gray
\nhead at grey-headed, oh God, do <\/p>\n
416
\n00:30:12,200 –> 00:30:15,800
\nnot forsake me until I declare
\nyour strength to this <\/p>\n
417
\n00:30:15,800 –> 00:30:19,100
\ngeneration, your power to
\neveryone who was to come. <\/p>\n
418
\n00:30:19,100 –> 00:30:23,200
\nSo in this verse here, the
\npsalmist asks for strength, not <\/p>\n
419
\n00:30:23,200 –> 00:30:27,400
\nfor any other reason, but to
\nenable him to teach the Next <\/p>\n
420
\n00:30:27,400 –> 00:30:31,700
\nGeneration and to those who are
\nto come that he could pass on <\/p>\n
421
\n00:30:31,700 –> 00:30:34,800
\nthe knowledge of God, to the
\nnext wave of believers. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:30:35,900 –> 00:30:39,500
\nAnd Psalm 102 verse 18.
\nThis will be written to the for <\/p>\n
423
\n00:30:39,500 –> 00:30:43,700
\nthe generation to come that.
\nI people yet to be created, May <\/p>\n
424
\n00:30:43,700 –> 00:30:46,200
\npraise the Lord.
\nSo the Psalms what it, for <\/p>\n
425
\n00:30:46,200 –> 00:30:48,700
\nwhatever primary purpose, it had
\nand praising God. <\/p>\n
426
\n00:30:48,700 –> 00:30:52,000
\nIn this particular Psalm a
\nsecondary benefit was that it <\/p>\n
427
\n00:30:52,000 –> 00:30:55,400
\ncould be passed on to the next
\nwave of your generation of those<\/p>\n
428
\n00:30:55,400 –> 00:30:57,700
\nto come.
\nCome with me, please to Psalm <\/p>\n
429
\n00:30:57,700 –> 00:31:01,200
\n78, I’m going to put it up on
\nthe overhead here but I also <\/p>\n
430
\n00:31:01,200 –> 00:31:02,900
\njust want to read it out of my
\nBible. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:31:03,400 –> 00:31:07,300
\nPsalm 78.
\nVerses 1 through 7. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:31:10,500 –> 00:31:13,000
\nReally sort of hammers, the
\npoint home here, repeatedly for <\/p>\n
433
\n00:31:13,000 –> 00:31:16,100
\nus.
\nSome 78. <\/p>\n
434
\n00:31:16,300 –> 00:31:20,800
\nGive ear o my people to my law
\nincline, your ears to the words <\/p>\n
435
\n00:31:20,800 –> 00:31:23,400
\nof my mouth.
\nI will open my mouth in <\/p>\n
436
\n00:31:23,400 –> 00:31:25,900
\nParables.
\nI will utter dark sayings of old<\/p>\n
437
\n00:31:26,100 –> 00:31:29,800
\nwhich we have heard and known
\nand our fathers have told us. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:31:30,400 –> 00:31:33,700
\nWe will not hide them from their
\nchildren, telling to the <\/p>\n
439
\n00:31:33,700 –> 00:31:37,600
\ngeneration to come the Praises
\nof the Lord and his strength and<\/p>\n
440
\n00:31:37,600 –> 00:31:41,300
\nhis wonderful works that he is
\ndone for he established a <\/p>\n
441
\n00:31:41,300 –> 00:31:44,600
\ntestimony and Jacob and
\nappointed a lot on Israel which <\/p>\n
442
\n00:31:44,800 –> 00:31:48,400
\nHe commanded our fathers that
\nthey should make them known to <\/p>\n
443
\n00:31:48,400 –> 00:31:51,700
\ntheir children that the
\ngeneration to come might know <\/p>\n
444
\n00:31:51,700 –> 00:31:56,200
\nthem the children who would be
\nborn that they may arise and <\/p>\n
445
\n00:31:56,200 –> 00:31:59,900
\ndeclare them to their children
\nthat they may set their hope in <\/p>\n
446
\n00:31:59,900 –> 00:32:04,500
\nGod and not forget the works of
\nGod, but keep his commandments. <\/p>\n
447
\n00:32:05,400 –> 00:32:09,100
\nSo this song describes for us
\nhow there’s this chain of <\/p>\n
448
\n00:32:09,100 –> 00:32:14,700
\nknowledge and praise of God
\npassed on from Father’s to the A<\/p>\n
449
\n00:32:14,708 –> 00:32:17,200
\ngeneration.
\nAnd the hope of this Psalm is to<\/p>\n
450
\n00:32:17,200 –> 00:32:20,000
\npass it on to the next
\nGeneration that they can then <\/p>\n
451
\n00:32:20,000 –> 00:32:23,000
\nteach it to their children.
\nAnd so, the point is really <\/p>\n
452
\n00:32:23,000 –> 00:32:27,500
\nhammered home for us that we
\nhave a responsibility to pass <\/p>\n
453
\n00:32:27,500 –> 00:32:30,000
\nthe torch on to the next
\nGeneration. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:32:30,500 –> 00:32:34,700
\nWe can’t make the mistake that
\nwas made in Joshua’s generation.<\/p>\n
455
\n00:32:35,300 –> 00:32:37,900
\nAmongst all the great works of
\nFaith being done. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:32:38,400 –> 00:32:42,400
\nSomehow, the children were not
\ntaught to know, God, we can’t <\/p>\n
457
\n00:32:42,400 –> 00:32:45,100
\nmake the same mistake and even
\nin the New Testament, The name, <\/p>\n
458
\n00:32:46,100 –> 00:32:50,200
\nsecond Timothy 2:2.
\nThis first describes the group <\/p>\n
459
\n00:32:50,200 –> 00:32:53,900
\neffort needed to teach and the
\nthings that you have heard from <\/p>\n
460
\n00:32:53,900 –> 00:32:56,000
\nme.
\nThis is Paul writing to Timothy <\/p>\n
461
\n00:32:56,600 –> 00:33:00,200
\namong many witnesses.
\nCommit, these to Faithful Men <\/p>\n
462
\n00:33:00,600 –> 00:33:02,800
\nWho will be able to teach others
\nalso. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:33:03,000 –> 00:33:06,800
\nSo, Paul taught Timothy and now
\nsuggest that Timothy, will you <\/p>\n
464
\n00:33:06,800 –> 00:33:09,600
\nteach others?
\nAnd then those people, they can <\/p>\n
465
\n00:33:09,600 –> 00:33:13,500
\nalso teach and that’s really a
\nmodel for Ecclesia life that we <\/p>\n
466
\n00:33:13,500 –> 00:33:17,200
\nreally all Should be trying to
\nteach and passing on through <\/p>\n
467
\n00:33:17,200 –> 00:33:21,000
\nwhatever abilities that we have.
\nThe Next Generation we should <\/p>\n
468
\n00:33:21,000 –> 00:33:24,300
\nassemble groups and have
\nsomebody School teachers and <\/p>\n
469
\n00:33:24,300 –> 00:33:26,900
\nexhort errs, and everyone with
\ncapabilities. <\/p>\n
470
\n00:33:27,100 –> 00:33:31,000
\nShould be trying to teach and
\npass on the knowledge of God. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:33:32,500 –> 00:33:36,300
\nNow, why is this particularly
\nchallenging in 2019? <\/p>\n
472
\n00:33:37,700 –> 00:33:40,700
\nWell, we all know how our
\nattention spans are shortening <\/p>\n
473
\n00:33:41,200 –> 00:33:44,600
\nand how there’s just so much
\nthat’s out there as we discussed<\/p>\n
474
\n00:33:44,600 –> 00:33:49,100
\nin previous classes, and there’s
\njust so much digital content. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:33:49,100 –> 00:33:53,300
\nNow that has constantly vying
\nfor and competing to grab our <\/p>\n
476
\n00:33:53,300 –> 00:33:57,300
\nattention and the difficulty and
\nchallenge that we have in the <\/p>\n
477
\n00:33:57,300 –> 00:34:01,000
\nmodern world is that for every
\nopportunity that we have to <\/p>\n
478
\n00:34:01,000 –> 00:34:06,200
\nteach, there’s just so many
\nother Temptations to learn and <\/p>\n
479
\n00:34:06,200 –> 00:34:08,100
\nhave entertainment from other.
\nAvenues. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:34:09,500 –> 00:34:12,000
\nIt’s never been more difficult
\nto capture a Young Person’s <\/p>\n
481
\n00:34:12,000 –> 00:34:16,699
\nattention.
\nAnd I’m, as guilty as any of <\/p>\n
482
\n00:34:16,699 –> 00:34:19,199
\nthat, there’s these media
\ncompanies out there. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:34:19,800 –> 00:34:22,500
\nAnd as we speak right now, I’m
\nnot going to give a commercial <\/p>\n
484
\n00:34:22,500 –> 00:34:27,000
\nfor them but they are all right.
\nNow in an extremely intense <\/p>\n
485
\n00:34:27,199 –> 00:34:30,199
\nindustry War, they are all
\nfighting for market. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:34:30,199 –> 00:34:34,199
\nShare their all spending way
\nabove their incoming Revenue to <\/p>\n
487
\n00:34:34,199 –> 00:34:36,699
\ntry to fight each other out of
\nthis online. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:34:36,699 –> 00:34:41,400
\nStreaming digital content space
\nto become the dominant champion <\/p>\n
489
\n00:34:41,500 –> 00:34:46,500
\nof online entertainment, And the
\nbudgets that these companies are<\/p>\n
490
\n00:34:46,500 –> 00:34:50,199
\nspending just in one particular
\nyear to generate more digital <\/p>\n
491
\n00:34:50,199 –> 00:34:54,600
\ncontent, is staggering, Netflix
\nis spending 13 billion dollars, <\/p>\n
492
\n00:34:55,400 –> 00:34:57,600
\nAmazon Prime five billion
\ndollars. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:34:57,900 –> 00:35:01,500
\nAnd right now, Hulu is only
\nspending two billion dollars, <\/p>\n
494
\n00:35:01,800 –> 00:35:05,600
\nbut with the coming a Joint
\nForce of Disney plus plus Hulu, <\/p>\n
495
\n00:35:05,900 –> 00:35:08,800
\nthey are projecting to spend
\nover 20 billion dollars to in <\/p>\n
496
\n00:35:08,800 –> 00:35:12,900
\nfuture years on content and how
\ncould you even consider what the<\/p>\n
497
\n00:35:12,908 –> 00:35:17,200
\nmonetary value of?
\nIs and just how much in 1000 <\/p>\n
498
\n00:35:17,200 –> 00:35:21,200
\nlifetimes, you couldn’t watch
\nall the videos posted on YouTube<\/p>\n
499
\n00:35:21,900 –> 00:35:25,200
\nand these content Avenues if you
\nwill. <\/p>\n
500
\n00:35:25,900 –> 00:35:29,700
\nThese streaming services are now
\navailable 24\/7. <\/p>\n
501
\n00:35:30,100 –> 00:35:34,000
\nThey’re available all the time
\nand they are in a life-and-death<\/p>\n
502
\n00:35:34,000 –> 00:35:37,800
\nstruggle with each other for our
\nattention and our viewership. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:35:38,900 –> 00:35:43,000
\nAnd how much more difficult is
\nthat make it for us to teach and<\/p>\n
504
\n00:35:43,000 –> 00:35:46,600
\nfind our ways of sharing the
\nknowledge of God with the Next <\/p>\n
505
\n00:35:46,600 –> 00:35:49,500
\nGeneration because they’re going
\nup with this, as children and <\/p>\n
506
\n00:35:49,500 –> 00:35:52,200
\nteenagers.
\nWe as adults are facing, it’s <\/p>\n
507
\n00:35:52,200 –> 00:35:53,800
\ndifficult for gossip as well,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n
508
\n00:35:54,100 –> 00:35:56,100
\nBut this is the only world that
\nthey are. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:35:56,100 –> 00:35:59,800
\nNext generation will have known
\nthe rare opportunities that we <\/p>\n
510
\n00:35:59,800 –> 00:36:03,100
\nhave to teach.
\nWe have to capitalize on because<\/p>\n
511
\n00:36:03,100 –> 00:36:07,300
\nwe are now just one of many.
\nMany very resource blessed <\/p>\n
512
\n00:36:07,300 –> 00:36:13,500
\nplayers that We are just just
\ntrying so hard fighting for Our <\/p>\n
513
\n00:36:13,500 –> 00:36:16,200
\nGenerations attention.
\nNow, as I mentioned in a <\/p>\n
514
\n00:36:16,200 –> 00:36:20,400
\nprevious class what we have, as
\nBelievers as those who possess <\/p>\n
515
\n00:36:20,400 –> 00:36:25,500
\nthe word of God is a Priceless
\npearl of great price for <\/p>\n
516
\n00:36:25,500 –> 00:36:29,100
\nbillions and billions of
\ndollars, you could not buy the <\/p>\n
517
\n00:36:29,100 –> 00:36:33,100
\nhope of God’s coming Kingdom.
\nThe Bible is powerful and <\/p>\n
518
\n00:36:33,100 –> 00:36:37,200
\nsharper than any two-edged sword
\nand it’s a resource that no one <\/p>\n
519
\n00:36:37,200 –> 00:36:41,100
\ncould replace or overcome. um,
\nor find a better alternative to <\/p>\n
520
\n00:36:41,900 –> 00:36:44,500
\nwhat the problem is now is that
\nfor, as powerful as the Bible <\/p>\n
521
\n00:36:44,500 –> 00:36:48,100
\nis, and as as absolutely
\nvaluable as it is to us and we <\/p>\n
522
\n00:36:48,100 –> 00:36:53,200
\ntreasure, it is difficult for us
\nin this day and age to get the <\/p>\n
523
\n00:36:53,200 –> 00:36:57,700
\nBible printed on paper and in
\ntext out there into the mines <\/p>\n
524
\n00:36:57,700 –> 00:37:03,200
\nand into the learning areas of
\nthe next Generations bring this <\/p>\n
525
\n00:37:03,200 –> 00:37:07,200
\nis a an interesting series of
\nslides to come here about a new <\/p>\n
526
\n00:37:07,200 –> 00:37:10,600
\nform of entertainment or Say, of
\ndigital consumption called <\/p>\n

\nprobably all heard of are aware <\/p>\n
528
\n00:37:13,000 –> 00:37:14,800
\nof.
\nAnd this chart here shows the <\/p>\n

\n00:37:14,800 –> 00:37:18,900
\nprogression of podcast, use over

530
\n00:37:18,900 –> 00:37:22,200
\nyears or so.
\nWe jumped over a threshold. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:37:22,200 –> 00:37:26,000
\nNow, in the year, 2019, we’re
\nnow over half the population of <\/p>\n

\n00:37:26,000 –> 00:37:28,900
\nAmerica.
\nNow, consume listen, view <\/p>\n

\n00:37:35,500 –> 00:37:39,900
\nNow, consume podcasts, or will
\nin the year, 18 and another <\/p>\n
536
\n00:37:39,900 –> 00:37:41,300
\npiece of interesting
\ninformation. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:37:42,400 –> 00:37:45,600
\nCame out of the same research
\ngroup, they found that the <\/p>\n
538
\n00:37:45,600 –> 00:37:49,100
\naverage amount of podcast being
\nviewed per week by a typical <\/p>\n
539
\n00:37:49,100 –> 00:37:52,900
\nperson has five some do 11 or
\nmore somebody’s just one or two.<\/p>\n
540
\n00:37:53,200 –> 00:37:58,000
\nBut the point is people tend to
\nview a lot of podcasts and I <\/p>\n
541
\n00:37:58,000 –> 00:38:01,200
\nthink this data shows for us
\nthat there’s really sort of in <\/p>\n
542
\n00:38:01,200 –> 00:38:04,600
\nour modern world two, kinds of
\npeople, you’re probably either <\/p>\n
543
\n00:38:04,600 –> 00:38:09,000
\nsomeone who doesn’t listen to
\npodcasts at all or you’re <\/p>\n
544
\n00:38:09,000 –> 00:38:11,900
\nsomeone who listens to a bunch
\nof podcasts there. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:38:12,100 –> 00:38:16,100
\nSeem to be sort of two extremes.
\nAnd so it asks the question for <\/p>\n
546
\n00:38:16,100 –> 00:38:21,100
\nus if there’s just all of this
\nattention and effort being put <\/p>\n
547
\n00:38:21,100 –> 00:38:24,400
\ninto putting out entertainment
\nand education and things in <\/p>\n
548
\n00:38:24,400 –> 00:38:29,200
\nother forms online.
\nHow do we as a faith-based <\/p>\n
549
\n00:38:29,200 –> 00:38:34,300
\ncommunity based on the Bible?
\nHow do we still find ways to <\/p>\n
550
\n00:38:34,300 –> 00:38:37,300
\nreach the next Generation when
\nthere is just so much <\/p>\n
551
\n00:38:37,300 –> 00:38:41,900
\ncompetition for their time.
\nNow, I’m going to suggest three <\/p>\n
552
\n00:38:42,000 –> 00:38:44,000
\nthe things.
\nThis was just just my own <\/p>\n
553
\n00:38:44,000 –> 00:38:46,900
\nopinion and taken feel free to
\ndiscuss this in our chat <\/p>\n
554
\n00:38:46,900 –> 00:38:48,800
\nsessions.
\nI can see that we’re at a <\/p>\n
555
\n00:38:48,800 –> 00:38:53,600
\nCrossroads here as a society and
\nI think there’s three paths that<\/p>\n
556
\n00:38:53,600 –> 00:38:58,200
\nare really worth discussing and
\nthinking about Oh, I forgot this<\/p>\n
557
\n00:38:58,200 –> 00:39:00,100
\nslide here.
\nYeah, so interesting information<\/p>\n
558
\n00:39:00,100 –> 00:39:04,200
\nthat two-thirds of podcast
\nviewers are under age 45, and <\/p>\n
559
\n00:39:04,200 –> 00:39:07,500
\nreally about half are in their
\nmid 30s and under. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:39:07,500 –> 00:39:10,100
\nSo it’s really also a
\ngenerational thing how it tends <\/p>\n
561
\n00:39:10,100 –> 00:39:13,400
\nto be that the young people and
\nfrom like Millennials down. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:39:13,400 –> 00:39:16,400
\nWe’re the ones that are really
\nsort of podcast hungry and <\/p>\n
563
\n00:39:16,400 –> 00:39:21,800
\nreally listen to a lot, okay?
\nSo I have three suggestions and <\/p>\n
564
\n00:39:22,000 –> 00:39:25,800
\nhere’s the first one and this is
\none that I think there’s a lot <\/p>\n
565
\n00:39:25,800 –> 00:39:29,400
\nof Merit to That we need to try
\nas best we can. <\/p>\n
566
\n00:39:29,400 –> 00:39:32,200
\nAnd this is going to sort of
\nMission Impossible and pricing <\/p>\n
567
\n00:39:32,200 –> 00:39:33,700
\nthem.
\nParents are already trying their<\/p>\n
568
\n00:39:33,700 –> 00:39:36,600
\nbest.
\nTo achieve, is to try our best. <\/p>\n
569
\n00:39:36,600 –> 00:39:41,200
\nTo minimize the exposure of our
\nyoung people to such online <\/p>\n
570
\n00:39:41,200 –> 00:39:44,600
\ncontent.
\nParticularly at younger ages to <\/p>\n
571
\n00:39:44,600 –> 00:39:49,100
\ntry our best, to get the screens
\noff, get the online content, <\/p>\n
572
\n00:39:49,100 –> 00:39:52,800
\nshut down as best, we can
\nminimize it and manage it. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:39:53,100 –> 00:39:56,200
\nYou might site versus like you
\nknow, if the eye offend thee <\/p>\n
574
\n00:39:56,600 –> 00:40:00,500
\npluck, Get out.
\nMaybe a family has to find some <\/p>\n
575
\n00:40:00,500 –> 00:40:05,400
\nway to pluck out the otherwise,
\nUnstoppable stream of online <\/p>\n
576
\n00:40:05,400 –> 00:40:07,300
\ncontent.
\nThis is going to be very <\/p>\n
577
\n00:40:07,300 –> 00:40:11,100
\ndifficult one, but I think it’s
\nworth discussing as a family or <\/p>\n
578
\n00:40:11,100 –> 00:40:12,900
\nas Believers, discussing this
\noption. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:40:14,000 –> 00:40:16,600
\nThe second one though and I
\nthink this is going to be very <\/p>\n
580
\n00:40:16,600 –> 00:40:21,400
\ntrue, no matter what, no matter
\nwhat you decide is that when we <\/p>\n
581
\n00:40:21,400 –> 00:40:23,800
\ndo have the young, people’s
\nattention. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:40:23,900 –> 00:40:27,100
\nAnd the next generation is
\nfocused on us when we were there<\/p>\n
583
\n00:40:27,300 –> 00:40:31,100
\non a Sunday morning and the
\nparents of got the device is off<\/p>\n
584
\n00:40:31,100 –> 00:40:34,000
\nand you’re in your seat and the
\nyoung people are listening to an<\/p>\n
585
\n00:40:34,000 –> 00:40:37,100
\nexhortation, it’s got to be
\nworth their time. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:40:37,400 –> 00:40:41,200
\nIt really has got to be good and
\ncrisp, they have to learn <\/p>\n
587
\n00:40:41,200 –> 00:40:43,100
\nsomething.
\nThere has to be a valuable <\/p>\n
588
\n00:40:43,100 –> 00:40:45,500
\nlesson.
\nThey can’t not off. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:40:45,500 –> 00:40:48,700
\nWe’ve got to make art, our
\nclasses are talks or <\/p>\n
590
\n00:40:48,700 –> 00:40:53,600
\nexhortations worthwhile, it’s no
\nlonger, okay, to sit back and <\/p>\n
591
\n00:40:53,600 –> 00:40:57,700
\njust get by with a mediocre
\nexhortation and have a lost <\/p>\n
592
\n00:40:57,700 –> 00:41:01,500
\nopportunity, because the
\nattention span now is so quick <\/p>\n
593
\n00:41:01,800 –> 00:41:06,400
\nthat teenagers will not listen.
\nIf it’s a brutal exhortation, we<\/p>\n
594
\n00:41:06,400 –> 00:41:09,800
\nhave to make it good, we have to
\nValue their time. <\/p>\n
595
\n00:41:11,500 –> 00:41:13,300
\nBible Clashers must be
\nworthwhile. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:41:13,900 –> 00:41:15,400
\nAnd this is an important one, as
\nwell. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:41:15,900 –> 00:41:19,100
\nRegular teaching at home is very
\nimportant. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:41:19,100 –> 00:41:23,300
\nI think would be unrealistic to
\nask a young person or ask a <\/p>\n
599
\n00:41:23,300 –> 00:41:25,600
\nchild to be sure to pay
\nattention. <\/p>\n
600
\n00:41:25,600 –> 00:41:28,100
\nNow, put your cell phone away
\nand put your tablet away and pay<\/p>\n
601
\n00:41:28,100 –> 00:41:31,100
\nattention.
\nNow, on Sunday, if they are not <\/p>\n
602
\n00:41:31,100 –> 00:41:35,600
\npracticing that all the other
\ndays of the week, if the family <\/p>\n
603
\n00:41:35,600 –> 00:41:39,500
\nis not coming together and
\nturning things off and learning <\/p>\n
604
\n00:41:39,500 –> 00:41:41,200
\nfrom the readings or from
\nwhatever. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:41:41,300 –> 00:41:45,800
\nThe Bible class or discussion
\nmight be in the family, how is <\/p>\n
606
\n00:41:45,800 –> 00:41:48,500
\nit going to then all of a sudden
\nbe different on Sunday? <\/p>\n
607
\n00:41:50,400 –> 00:41:54,600
\nAnd also, we also need to
\naddress how nowadays there is. <\/p>\n
608
\n00:41:54,600 –> 00:41:57,500
\nSo much more attention on online
\ncontent being paid to the <\/p>\n
609
\n00:41:57,500 –> 00:42:00,000
\ndifferent ways that people
\nlearn. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:42:00,000 –> 00:42:03,700
\nSome people are great at
\nauditory learning and that’s <\/p>\n
611
\n00:42:03,700 –> 00:42:06,800
\ntypically that the usual
\nstrength of a christadelphians <\/p>\n
612
\n00:42:06,800 –> 00:42:10,700
\ntalk is its somebody at the
\nfront talking and lecturing and <\/p>\n
613
\n00:42:10,700 –> 00:42:13,500
\nauditory Learners thrive in that
\nin that mode. <\/p>\n
614
\n00:42:13,800 –> 00:42:17,100
\nBut now, there’s so many online
\nvideos and you can think of <\/p>\n
615
\n00:42:17,107 –> 00:42:20,100
\nvideos of where I got.
\nYou see a person’s hands crack <\/p>\n
616
\n00:42:20,300 –> 00:42:23,100
\nBeing a recipe and you can
\nactually see it in picture your <\/p>\n
617
\n00:42:23,100 –> 00:42:26,100
\nown hands doing it.
\nThese are powerful ways that the<\/p>\n
618
\n00:42:26,100 –> 00:42:29,200
\ninternet is really taking
\nadvantage of kinesthetic <\/p>\n
619
\n00:42:29,200 –> 00:42:32,300
\nLearners or people who learn
\nthrough actually thinking <\/p>\n
620
\n00:42:32,300 –> 00:42:34,900
\nvisualizing or doing it with
\ntheir hands. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:42:35,500 –> 00:42:38,700
\nAnd we as Christians delphine’s,
\nwe should be trying to embrace <\/p>\n
622
\n00:42:38,900 –> 00:42:42,900
\nthese new methods of reaching a
\nperson’s mind and perhaps <\/p>\n
623
\n00:42:42,900 –> 00:42:48,000
\ninvolving more visuals, to grab
\nour attention and also find ways<\/p>\n
624
\n00:42:48,000 –> 00:42:50,000
\nto actually get people busy and
\nactive. <\/p>\n
625
\n00:42:50,200 –> 00:42:53,400
\nOf this might be more workshops
\nor discussion sessions or <\/p>\n
626
\n00:42:53,400 –> 00:42:57,300
\npractic practical discussions.
\nThere must be ways for us to <\/p>\n
627
\n00:42:57,300 –> 00:43:01,800
\nachieve or to reach the mines of
\nkinesthetic Learners people who <\/p>\n
628
\n00:43:01,800 –> 00:43:05,000
\nlearn in different ways, besides
\njust listening to someone <\/p>\n
629
\n00:43:05,000 –> 00:43:08,700
\ntalking and third.
\nAnd I realized this is going to <\/p>\n
630
\n00:43:08,700 –> 00:43:11,200
\nbe sort of a difficult
\ncontradiction. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:43:11,900 –> 00:43:16,200
\nBut I do wonder if we, as
\nchristadelphians also, if <\/p>\n
632
\n00:43:16,200 –> 00:43:19,700
\nthere’s all of this content,
\ndigital content out there, and <\/p>\n
633
\n00:43:19,700 –> 00:43:22,700
\nit’s going to Consume it’s there
\nfor us if we should actually <\/p>\n
634
\n00:43:22,700 –> 00:43:28,000
\nhave more of our discussions and
\ntalks and message be put online.<\/p>\n
635
\n00:43:28,000 –> 00:43:31,400
\nI realize that number one, and
\nnumber three, sort of stand <\/p>\n
636
\n00:43:31,400 –> 00:43:34,600
\njuxtaposed to each other and how
\ncan you pursue both at the same <\/p>\n
637
\n00:43:34,600 –> 00:43:36,400
\ntime?
\nMaybe different people in <\/p>\n
638
\n00:43:36,400 –> 00:43:39,300
\ndifferent situations.
\nNeed one of these two things may<\/p>\n
639
\n00:43:39,300 –> 00:43:43,200
\nbe as as a family, you need to
\npursue item number one and just <\/p>\n
640
\n00:43:43,200 –> 00:43:47,700
\ntry to reduce the online
\nTemptation or maybe certain <\/p>\n
641
\n00:43:47,700 –> 00:43:50,000
\nadults are single.
\nPeople are older folks. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:43:50,300 –> 00:43:53,100
\nWhere they don’t have children
\naround and they’re online and <\/p>\n
643
\n00:43:53,100 –> 00:43:55,300
\nthey have their phones.
\nAnd there’s a lot of good stuff <\/p>\n
644
\n00:43:55,300 –> 00:43:57,200
\nthat actually is out there in
\npodcast. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:43:57,200 –> 00:43:59,300
\nIt isn’t all bad or evil or
\nWicked. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:43:59,700 –> 00:44:01,200
\nMaybe we should be trying
\nthough. <\/p>\n
647
\n00:44:01,200 –> 00:44:04,400
\nTo put faith-based things out
\nthere, speak about the Krista, <\/p>\n
648
\n00:44:04,400 –> 00:44:06,600
\ndelphine’s, our beliefs, what
\nour lives are like, <\/p>\n
649
\n00:44:06,800 –> 00:44:10,500
\nencouragement to each other.
\nMaybe there should also be more <\/p>\n
650
\n00:44:10,500 –> 00:44:13,500
\nchristadelphians work and
\ncontent online. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:44:13,600 –> 00:44:15,600
\nSo it isn’t just YouTube and
\nNetflix. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:44:15,900 –> 00:44:18,500
\nIt can also be things for good
\nthings that help us. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:44:19,200 –> 00:44:22,000
\nAnd so with that, Like actually
\ngoing to be a little bit real <\/p>\n
654
\n00:44:22,000 –> 00:44:25,500
\nhere and address how this is
\nalready happening and to some <\/p>\n
655
\n00:44:25,500 –> 00:44:27,200
\ndegree.
\nThe toothpaste is out of the <\/p>\n
656
\n00:44:27,200 –> 00:44:30,600
\ntube and I think it’s a really
\ngood thing that there are <\/p>\n
657
\n00:44:30,600 –> 00:44:32,800
\nsuccessful christadelphians
\npodcasts. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:44:32,800 –> 00:44:36,400
\nAnd the numbers are perhaps not
\nwhat you might have think <\/p>\n
659
\n00:44:36,400 –> 00:44:38,600
\nthere’s a lot of people
\nlistening to these good <\/p>\n
660
\n00:44:38,600 –> 00:44:40,800
\nchristadelphians talks.
\nThink they posted. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:44:40,800 –> 00:44:44,700
\nThey’ve had over 10,000 people,
\ndownload, or listen to a <\/p>\n
662
\n00:44:44,700 –> 00:44:48,900
\nparticular class or podcast.
\nThey’ve posted and some of you <\/p>\n
663
\n00:44:48,900 –> 00:44:50,800
\nmay not know all of these but
\nthis is one I listened to you <\/p>\n
664
\n00:44:50,800 –> 00:44:52,600
\nfrom Two Brothers up in
\nKingston. <\/p>\n
665
\n00:44:52,600 –> 00:44:55,800
\nOntario, this is Sam.
\nTaylor’s podcast, this is Tim <\/p>\n
666
\n00:44:55,800 –> 00:44:58,500
\nYoung’s podcast.
\nHe talks about first, principles<\/p>\n
667
\n00:44:58,500 –> 00:45:01,800
\nand life in the truth with other
\nbrothers from book Road, and <\/p>\n
668
\n00:45:01,800 –> 00:45:04,900
\nthis is the podcast.
\nThat’s on peeing Carly’s site. <\/p>\n
669
\n00:45:05,100 –> 00:45:07,900
\nWe’ll find him together.com and
\nthey have end of the week <\/p>\n
670
\n00:45:07,900 –> 00:45:10,900
\nencouragement, podcasts, and
\npeople are really listening to <\/p>\n
671
\n00:45:10,908 –> 00:45:13,700
\nthis.
\nAnd in an online space, that is <\/p>\n
672
\n00:45:13,700 –> 00:45:16,900
\nso crowded with other things
\nthat are out there for us, to <\/p>\n
673
\n00:45:16,900 –> 00:45:20,100
\nview and watch.
\nAnd listen to, if the numbers <\/p>\n
674
\n00:45:20,100 –> 00:45:23,500
\nare there that this is
\nhappening, we maybe should <\/p>\n
675
\n00:45:23,700 –> 00:45:28,200
\nproduce more of our own online
\ncontent, perhaps the days of <\/p>\n
676
\n00:45:28,200 –> 00:45:33,600
\npamphlets, and flyers is over.
\nAnd the days for podcasts is now<\/p>\n
677
\n00:45:33,600 –> 00:45:36,600
\nhere.
\nAnd we should be producing this <\/p>\n
678
\n00:45:36,600 –> 00:45:38,600
\nand putting this out there in
\nthe world. <\/p>\n
679
\n00:45:39,300 –> 00:45:42,400
\nI realize this is a difficult
\nsubject for all of us and some <\/p>\n
680
\n00:45:42,400 –> 00:45:43,900
\nof you might be saying Mike I
\ndisagree. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:45:43,900 –> 00:45:45,700
\nWe should be trying to fight
\nthis. <\/p>\n
682
\n00:45:45,800 –> 00:45:50,000
\nWe should resist all of this
\nonline content out there and so <\/p>\n
683
\n00:45:50,000 –> 00:45:53,500
\nyou might suggest or support
\nnumber one and there’s a lot of <\/p>\n
684
\n00:45:53,500 –> 00:45:55,900
\nvalidity to that and I
\ncompletely agree. <\/p>\n
685
\n00:45:56,900 –> 00:46:01,500
\nBut the reality of 2019 is that
\nit’s all around us all the time <\/p>\n
686
\n00:46:01,500 –> 00:46:04,500
\nand it’s a part of our Lives.
\nWe should at least try. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:46:05,100 –> 00:46:08,400
\nTo make it faith-based to make
\nit Crystal Delphia, some of you <\/p>\n
688
\n00:46:08,408 –> 00:46:11,000
\nmay say Mike, this is a great
\nthing we should do this. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:46:11,400 –> 00:46:13,100
\nOthers might say it’s a
\ncompromise. <\/p>\n
690
\n00:46:13,100 –> 00:46:17,300
\nIts this just for us to discuss
\nand to would take some time to <\/p>\n
691
\n00:46:17,308 –> 00:46:21,600
\nthink about how do we teach the
\nNext Generation. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:46:21,800 –> 00:46:24,600
\nHow do we avoid the mistake of
\nJoshua? <\/p>\n
693
\n00:46:25,200 –> 00:46:27,300
\nHow do we follow the words of
\nthe Psalms? <\/p>\n
694
\n00:46:27,900 –> 00:46:30,200
\nI think it’s going to be a
\ncombination of all three of <\/p>\n
695
\n00:46:30,200 –> 00:46:34,100
\nthese things.
\nAnd so for our discussion of <\/p>\n
696
\n00:46:34,100 –> 00:46:37,200
\nmeditation, Ins as we conclude
\nour study for the day. <\/p>\n
697
\n00:46:38,400 –> 00:46:43,300
\nIs what things should our
\nEcclesia do to take advantage of<\/p>\n
698
\n00:46:43,300 –> 00:46:47,300
\nthe precious time that we have
\nwith an audience of young people<\/p>\n
699
\n00:46:47,300 –> 00:46:49,100
\nand there’s some sub questions
\nhere. <\/p>\n
700
\n00:46:49,900 –> 00:46:54,300
\nShould our best teachers and
\nexhort errs speak more and <\/p>\n
701
\n00:46:54,300 –> 00:46:57,300
\nperhaps even publish their
\nstudies online. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:46:58,400 –> 00:47:01,600
\nShould we have an all-ages
\nMutual Improvement class? <\/p>\n
703
\n00:47:01,600 –> 00:47:06,100
\nSo all exhorter is all teachers,
\nall speakers were constantly <\/p>\n
704
\n00:47:06,100 –> 00:47:09,900
\ntrying to improve the quality of
\nour talks because the level of <\/p>\n
705
\n00:47:09,900 –> 00:47:15,200
\ncompetition around us has risen,
\nso dramatically and see are <\/p>\n
706
\n00:47:15,200 –> 00:47:17,200
\nthere.
\nOther ways for us to improve the<\/p>\n
707
\n00:47:17,200 –> 00:47:20,300
\nquality of our teaching, and
\ninvolve new techniques and new <\/p>\n
708
\n00:47:20,300 –> 00:47:24,100
\nmethods to reach different kinds
\nof Learners and different people<\/p>\n
709
\n00:47:24,100 –> 00:47:27,400
\nwho in a digital age are so used
\nto visualizing things and seeing<\/p>\n
710
\n00:47:27,400 –> 00:47:30,200
\nthings.
\nScreen, whereas listening now <\/p>\n
711
\n00:47:30,200 –> 00:47:35,100
\ncan become a bit of a chore.
\nAnd finally, if you subscribe to<\/p>\n
712
\n00:47:35,100 –> 00:47:39,300
\nsuggestion number three, would
\nyou consider producing online <\/p>\n
713
\n00:47:39,300 –> 00:47:42,900
\nspiritual content?
\nLike a podcast or an online <\/p>\n
714
\n00:47:42,900 –> 00:47:46,100
\njournal or artwork, or just
\nconsult, Magnify Him <\/p>\n
715
\n00:47:46,100 –> 00:47:50,100
\ntogether.com, and all these ways
\nthat christadelphians in a <\/p>\n
716
\n00:47:50,107 –> 00:47:53,100
\ndigital world are helping to
\nshare things and encourage each <\/p>\n
717
\n00:47:53,100 –> 00:47:55,000
\nother.
\nIf this is the world that we <\/p>\n
718
\n00:47:55,000 –> 00:47:57,200
\nhave to live in until Christ
\nreturns. <\/p>\n
719
\n00:47:57,900 –> 00:48:00,300
\nSo There’s definitely, I think
\nsome really serious things for <\/p>\n
720
\n00:48:00,300 –> 00:48:02,800
\nus to discuss here.
\nAnd so we’ll take five minutes <\/p>\n
721
\n00:48:02,800 –> 00:48:04,000
\nand we’ll see you at the end of
\nthat. <\/p>\n
722
\n00:48:57,900 –> 00:49:03,400
\nThree Brothers during that
\nperiod up with Reverend and the <\/p>\n
723
\n00:49:03,400 –> 00:49:13,100
\nUK here and drop the hose and
\ngoing through that, I actually <\/p>\n
724
\n00:49:13,100 –> 00:49:17,700
\nneed to check my probably pretty
\nhigh because I run into people <\/p>\n
725
\n00:49:17,700 –> 00:49:33,400
\nwherever I know that.
\nI need to sign in to 19. <\/p>\n
726
\n00:52:20,600 –> 00:52:26,100
\nAlright, welcome back, everyone.
\nJust before I hand things back <\/p>\n
727
\n00:52:26,100 –> 00:52:29,300
\nover to Nader, brother,
\nBillington from Branford also <\/p>\n
728
\n00:52:29,300 –> 00:52:31,500
\nshare with me that there’s
\nanother podcast called Bible in <\/p>\n
729
\n00:52:31,500 –> 00:52:34,400
\nthe news, available on Bible,
\nthe news.com or on iTunes. <\/p>\n
730
\n00:52:34,400 –> 00:52:37,000
\nSo there’s a lot of good
\nprophecy up to share through <\/p>\n
731
\n00:52:37,000 –> 00:52:39,500
\nthat podcast as well.
\nSo it’s I think it’s an Avenue <\/p>\n
732
\n00:52:39,500 –> 00:52:42,400
\nWorth exploring, but with that,
\nI’ll hand it over to Nato now to<\/p>\n
733
\n00:52:42,400 –> 00:52:43,300
\nclose things out.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
