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, I'm Patrick Miller. Do you know the one resource that everybody has the exact same
0:17.2	amount of? It doesn't matter how poor you are or how rich you are. It doesn't matter how
0:21.5	educated you are. It doesn't matter your nationality, your ethnicity, none of those things

1:46.4	Time is no limitation to him.
