There's room for all that. "but the gate is narrow," now, look here,
00:04:34.897 --> 00:04:35.932
"but the gate is narrow," now, look here, "(contracted by pressure)

And compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it."
00:04:47.310 --> 00:04:51.414
You know, even among preachers,

00:04:59.889 --> 00:05:00.923
By god to focus on. and for me, it's always been spiritual maturity.
00:05:00.990 --> 00:05:02.925
And for me, it's always been spiritual maturity. it's always wanting to help
00:05:02.992 --> 00:05:04.894
Been spiritual maturity. it's always wanting to help the believer mature
00:05:04.961 --> 00:05:08.731
It's always wanting to help the believer mature and be transformed into

00:12:00.976 --> 00:12:03.779
This is paul, he said,
00:12:04.346 --> 00:12:07.550
This is paul, he said, "now, [my determined purpose is]
00:12:07.616 --> 00:12:11.153
This is paul, he said, "now, [my determined purpose is] that i may know him."

00:12:14.757 --> 00:12:17.760
Purpose is to have a new camel,
00:12:17.827 --> 00:12:19.695

00:12:29.972 --> 00:12:32.241
Wrong with asking god for what you want and need. but we don't have to spend
00:12:32.308 --> 00:12:33.676
What you want and need. but we don't have to spend very much time at all
00:12:33.742 --> 00:12:35.110
But we don't have to spend very much time at all asking god for things.
00:12:35.177 --> 00:12:37.379
