Doing because if while

Doing because if while i'm preaching here tonight,
00:00:40.296 --> 00:00:41.297
Doing because if while i'm preaching here tonight, if you go to the place where
00:00:41.364 --> 00:00:42.732
I'm preaching here tonight, if you go to the place where you're gonna go get your
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:43.466
If you go to the place where you're gonna go get your hamburger when i'm done,

You totally missed it. i mean, it's amazing that we can sit and be listening
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:53.276
I mean, it's amazing that we can sit and be listening to somebody and totally
00:00:53.343 --> 00:00:55.211
We can sit and be listening to somebody and totally not hear what they're saying,
00:00:55.278 --> 00:00:57.013
To somebody and totally not hear what they're saying, because our mind has
00:00:57.080 --> 00:00:57.914
Not hear what they're saying, because our mind has gone somewhere else.
00:00:57.981 --> 00:01:02.285
Because our mind has gone somewhere else. so, we need to practice
00:01:02.352 --> 00:01:05.088

It was beautiful color, perfect size, perfect shape. and when i went out in the car
00:02:31.574 --> 00:02:32.709
Perfect size, perfect shape. and when i went out in the car to eat my orange, that was
00:02:32.775 --> 00:02:34.043
And when i went out in the car to eat my orange, that was the driest, most tasteless
00:02:34.110 --> 00:02:37.947
To eat my orange, that was the driest, most tasteless orange i had ever had.
00:02:38.014 --> 00:02:39.849
The driest, most tasteless orange i had ever had. and that's what we don't
00:02:39.916 --> 00:02:42.352
Orange i had ever had. and that's what we don't wanna be like as christians.
00:02:42.418 --> 00:02:44.621
And that's what we don't wanna be like as christians. we don't wanna look like
00:02:44.687 --> 00:02:46.055
Wanna be like as christians. we don't wanna look like we've got it all together,
00:02:46.122 --> 00:02:48.958
We don't wanna look like we've got it all together, and then at the first
00:02:49.025 --> 00:02:49.759
We've got it all together, and then at the first sign of trouble,
00:02:49.826 --> 00:02:51.094
And then at the first sign of trouble, we fall apart
00:02:51.160 --> 00:02:53.529
Sign of trouble, we fall apart and start acting bad.
