| 0:00.0 | I'll just say one thing a question like that when is it okay to speak up to call people |
| 0:08.0 | to account for what you think is an error you perceive in your local church when |
| 0:12.1 | do you be quiet and just act submissively and |
| 0:15.2 | supportively? That is just an unanswerable question from outside. And so all I can do is point you to a process to arrive at an answer rather than giving you the answer. |
| 0:27.0 | And the process is to plead with Christ for a spirit of discernment and to soak your minds in the Bible so that |

| 1:55.0 | 2 Corinthians, 3, 14 to 17, |
| 1:59.2 | this slight momentary affliction is working for us |
| 2:02.4 | internal weight of glory, as those there's a correlation |
| 2:04.9 | between what we suffer here and what we benefit from there. |
| 2:07.6 | I think there are different levels of reward. |
| 2:11.3 | I do believe that not every not everybody does and they would base their view on the |
| 2:16.6 | parable of the the guy who comes in works one hour and the guy works 10 hours and they both get the same thing. |
