Back at a lot of things, and man, we talk about the early years,
00:00:39.952 --> 00:00:41.286
And man, we talk about the early years, and i wish sometime i had
00:00:41.353 --> 00:00:43.655
The early years, and i wish sometime i had the time to just sit down

And i wish sometime i had the time to just sit down and try to make people
00:00:44.590 --> 00:00:45.591
The time to just sit down and try to make people understand what it was like.
00:00:45.657 --> 00:00:48.227

I mean, it sounded horrible. i don't know what a donkey sounds like when it's crying,
00:04:56.108 --> 00:04:57.409
I don't know what a donkey sounds like when it's crying, but--
00:04:57.476 --> 00:04:58.677
Sounds like when it's crying, but-- [fake crying]

Bad enough. and the farmer was trying to decide what to do.
00:05:05.350 --> 00:05:08.153
And the farmer was trying to decide what to do. 'cause it was gonna be a real

To decide what to do. 'cause it was gonna be a real job to try to get this donkey
00:05:09.254 --> 00:05:10.555
'cause it was gonna be a real job to try to get this donkey out of this well.
00:05:10.622 --> 00:05:12.324
Job to try to get this donkey out of this well. and so, he said, "well,

Out of this well. and so, he said, "well, you know, he's old,

And so, he said, "well, you know, he's old, he's getting old anyway.

And i know it's hard sometimes to believe things that you can't see,
00:10:56.801 --> 00:10:58.837
Sometimes to believe things that you can't see, but we believe in things
00:10:58.903 --> 00:10:59.838
Things that you can't see, but we believe in things that we can't see all the time.
00:10:59.904 --> 00:11:02.040

But i can't see it. i believe in air. i like breathing it,
00:11:14.419 --> 00:11:15.186
I believe in air. i like breathing it, but i can't see it.
00:11:15.253 --> 00:11:17.555
I like breathing it, but i can't see it. we believe in stuff
00:11:17.622 --> 00:11:18.423
But i can't see it. we believe in stuff that we can't see.
00:11:18.490 --> 00:11:20.091
We believe in stuff that we can't see. so why isn't it, when it comes
00:11:20.158 --> 00:11:21.259
That we can't see. so why isn't it, when it comes to things about god, you say,
00:11:21.326 --> 00:11:23.862
So why isn't it, when it comes to things about god, you say, "yeah, well,
00:11:23.928 --> 00:11:24.529
To things about god, you say, "yeah, well, joyce, if i'm so good,
00:11:24.596 --> 00:11:25.830
"yeah, well, joyce, if i'm so good, then why do i act so bad?"
00:11:25.897 --> 00:11:29.334
Because the bible says
00:11:31.269 --> 00:11:32.237
Because the bible says a wonderful thing
00:11:32.303 --> 00:11:33.371
Because the bible says a wonderful thing in philippians 2:12,
00:11:33.438 --> 00:11:34.873
A wonderful thing in philippians 2:12, it says, "work out
00:11:34.939 --> 00:11:37.675
In philippians 2:12, it says, "work out your own salvation
00:11:37.742 --> 00:11:40.345
It says, "work out your own salvation with (self-distrust)
00:11:40.411 --> 00:11:42.280
Your own salvation with (self-distrust) and fear and trembling,
00:11:42.347 --> 00:11:44.449
With (self-distrust) and fear and trembling, for it is god who is all
00:11:44.516 --> 00:11:47.152
And fear and trembling, for it is god who is all the while working in you."
00:11:47.218 --> 00:11:49.020
For it is god who is all the while working in you." it's just this simple.

When you're born again, you get a download
00:11:51.689 --> 00:11:53.992
When you're born again, you get a download into your spirit,
00:11:54.058 --> 00:11:56.594
You get a download into your spirit, but it doesn't do anybody
00:11:56.661 --> 00:11:57.996
Into your spirit, but it doesn't do anybody any good if it just

But it doesn't do anybody any good if it just stays in your spirit.
00:11:58.863 --> 00:12:00.765
Any good if it just stays in your spirit. it's gotta get worked in your

Stays in your spirit. it's gotta get worked in your soul and then out through
