| 0:00.0 | I doubt if the Church of Christ has ever been more cavalier about the solemn dimension of proper |
| 0:08.7 | worship in the presence of God than it is today. |
| 0:12.5 | And that terrifies me. |
| 0:13.9 | Because the pattern of biblical history over and over and over again is that when the people |
| 0:18.8 | play around with the way in which they behave in |
| 0:23.4 | the presence of God, that the church falls apart. |
| 0:27.4 | And now the renewal of faith here begins with a renewal of worship. |

| 1:38.0 | when you give a donation of any amount at renewingyourmind.org. |
| 1:42.3 | But this is the final time we're offering this popular resource, |
| 1:45.7 | so respond today as it won't be repeated next Saturday. |
| 1:49.4 | Here's Dr. Sproul on the Babylonian exile. |
