| 0:00.0 | Pray the word with David Platt as a resource from Radical.net. |
| 0:30.2 | And pray about according to the previous podcast episode that all these things in the world |
| 0:37.2 | riches, wears merchandise, mariners, pilots, men of war, the whole crew, just like that one day |
| 0:46.2 | and a day they're all gonna fall. Oh, does this verse not shout to you and me? Don't be intoxicated |
| 0:57.1 | by all you see in this world. I think about children, teenagers who are listening to this who |
| 1:03.6 | can be so consumed with what others think about you with pleasing this person or that person |
| 1:10.2 | achieving this or that living for this or that in the world. Don't do it. Don't do it. It doesn't |

| 2:22.1 | forever, for that which will never sink into the heart of the sea. God, help us to boldly proclaim |
| 2:28.3 | the gospel today, to people around us. God, help us to live in holiness, not to compromise with |
| 2:34.5 | this world, not to love the things of this world. First, John 2. God, keep us from love for the things |
