0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life.
0:09.0	In the time it takes to get to work.
0:10.6	I'm Patrick Miller.
0:11.6	Right now we're going through the first book of the Bible, Genesis.
0:14.7	A few years back I watched this History Channel special on a modern day blacksmith.
0:20.8	Now this guy he uses medieval techniques to forge authentically
0:24.8	medieval swords and armor. The show follows him as he's creating one of the
0:29.6	hardest forms of steel and he's using a method that probably hasn't been used in over a
0:34.8	thousand years. As you watch you think he's finally finished. The sword is
0:40.4	magnificent but then he explains to the camera that there's actually one more step.
0:45.4	He needs to prove the steel.
0:48.3	In metallurgy, proving is the process of applying extreme pressure to steel to do two things.
0:55.0	First, if the steel isn't as strong as it should be, then the steel breaks in the

1:03.8	process of proving rather than in the middle of a battle. The second thing that it does
1:08.8	is that if the sword doesn't break the process of proving of applying this pressure actually makes the
1:15.3	steel stronger. And so he takes out this massive blacksmith hammer and he begins to
1:20.9	swing away at his sword and the test proves that his sword is strong and the test
1:26.7	shapes the sword so that it can become stronger. In Genesis 22 we learned that blacksmiths aren't the only ones who prove their creations.
1:35.6	God does this as well.
1:37.3	He doesn't test his creations in order to break them.
1:40.9	No, he does it so that he can see whether his creation is truly faithful.
