0:00.0	Today on Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram.
0:14.5	When the world seems to grow darker and darker, when corruption and violence and hate
0:20.1	and prejudice continue to grow, God does
0:23.2	something unusual. He's looking for a man. He's looking for a woman to stand in the gap to make a
0:29.8	difference. Would you like to be that person? Stay with me. That's today. Picture God's eyes moving across the earth, searching for someone special he can use,
0:41.3	but he's not looking for credentials, talents, or impressive resumes.
0:45.3	Today on Living on the Edge, Chip Ingram reveals what God is actually shopping for, and it might
0:51.3	surprise you.
0:52.3	Through the examples of Timothy and Apaphroditis in Philippians chapter 2 we'll see four specific qualities God
0:59.1	seeks in people he uses powerfully. If you've ever thought you don't measure up or
1:03.9	wondered if God could work through someone with your background, this message
1:07.7	will open your eyes. Well now here's Chip with today's message titled, Love Cairs.
1:13.7	I want to share something with you because there's something that God and Teresa have in common.
1:19.1	Are you ready for this?

1:23.2	When Teresa and I are hanging around downtown Las Gatos, if we go away for a little weekend, if we sometimes I travel to Atlanta and there's a number of shops there, she's always looking. She's always shopping. Now, don't get me wrong. She's not like a, I have to have new shoes, new dress. She's shopping for grandkids. I mean, there's a birthday like every third day and then anniversary. So wherever we go,
1:45.5	she'll walk in and go, oh, and then she'll tell me, for this season, this would be perfect for,
1:50.5	and then she'll name one of the grandkids and tell me why. Here's what I want you to know.
1:56.6	She cares about each child in its season, and she wants to get the very thing that would help them be an experience the very best.
2:08.1	And what I want you to know is that God is shopping. In other words, he is looking. He's looking. And what he is looking for is people that are ready and prepared to fulfill his will.
2:19.7	In fact, notice on the front of your notes, I put two key Old Testament passages.
2:25.1	It's the Lord speaking from Ezekiel 22.
