0:00.0	Amen. How we doing church? Doing all right? Looking good. Are you ready for this?
0:07.9	We got a whole lot of feedback from last week, mostly positive, and so that's really good.
0:12.5	If you miss last week, just buckle up. Hopefully you'll catch it online or whatever.
0:17.0	But grab your Bibles. We're going to end up in 1st Peter chapter 5.
0:20.3	First Peter chapter 5. We are in week two of this series, act like men. Our theme is 1st Corinthians
0:28.8	chapter 16 versus 13 and 14. And here's what it says. It says, be watchful, stand firm in the faith.
0:35.2	Act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love and like i explained to you
0:40.5	last week the way we're looking at this is that act like men could be like the hub or the center of this wheel
0:47.1	and then the imperatives around it are how you are to act like men and again very quickly uh we've got to get rid of just these kind of macho
0:55.4	caricatures. That is not what we are talking about. Now, I kind of happen to be that caricature.

1:17.5	be watchful. Be watchful. Different translations of the Bible translate that command differently,
1:26.1	and it's a military command is what it is some of the other
1:29.9	translations say this they say watch out stand on watch stay alert be on guard the idea here is
1:39.8	is that it's a command like a commander would give a soldier to pay attention and to watch
1:45.4	out because there is an enemy. And as I begin to study it yet, I've just got to tell you where
1:50.6	my mind went. I began to think about what it means to be a man is the idea of like this soldier
1:58.3	on a wall protecting something. At the moment I began to think about a soldier on a wall protecting something.
2:05.4	At the moment I began to think about a soldier on a wall, this image came to mind.
2:07.6	I hope you could see it.
