[1147.66 --> 1148.50] sit through that
[1148.50 --> 1149.18] and we kind of
[1149.18 --> 1150.36] make it a general thing
[1150.36 --> 1151.18] and hope that
[1151.18 --> 1152.48] that covers us all
[1152.48 --> 1153.70] but actually
[1153.70 --> 1155.12] James would say
[1155.12 --> 1156.76] that's not far enough.
[1158.18 --> 1158.78] You've got to
[1158.78 --> 1159.98] confess to each other.
[1160.54 --> 1160.80] Why?
[1162.42 --> 1163.74] Because when prayer
[1163.74 --> 1164.52] connects you
[1164.52 --> 1165.36] with God
[1165.36 --> 1166.46] you don't have to
[1166.46 --> 1167.32] worry about your
[1167.32 --> 1167.84] weaknesses
[1167.84 --> 1169.18] and your failures.
[1170.68 --> 1170.92] Sure,
[1171.06 --> 1171.80] other people might
[1171.80 --> 1172.26] judge you
[1172.26 --> 1173.16] but God
[1173.16 --> 1174.32] isn't going to
[1174.32 --> 1175.48] hold that against you.
[1175.66 --> 1176.12] God
[1176.12 --> 1177.00] is a God
[1177.00 --> 1177.66] of forgiveness.
[1179.56 --> 1180.60] We're connected
[1180.60 --> 1181.74] to that God
[1181.74 --> 1182.60] that God
[1182.60 --> 1183.20] of grace
[1183.20 --> 1183.94] and mercy
[1183.94 --> 1185.32] when we learn
[1185.32 --> 1185.88] to live
[1185.88 --> 1186.68] in the context
[1186.68 --> 1187.92] of prayer.
[1189.28 --> 1190.14] So those are
[1190.14 --> 1190.98] the two pillars
[1190.98 --> 1192.10] that form
[1192.10 --> 1192.62] a connection
[1192.62 --> 1193.30] to God.
[1194.08 --> 1194.80] On the one hand
[1194.80 --> 1195.76] learning to live
[1195.76 --> 1196.22] in the light
[1196.22 --> 1196.74] of eternity
[1196.74 --> 1197.76] and on the other
[1197.76 --> 1198.22] hand
[1198.22 --> 1199.50] learning to live
[1199.50 --> 1200.34] in the context
[1200.34 --> 1201.26] of prayer.
[1202.10 --> 1202.84] Now when I had
[1202.84 --> 1203.56] preached this
[1203.56 --> 1204.90] at New Life
[1204.90 --> 1205.86] and we do
[1205.86 --> 1207.18] pre-recorded services
[1207.18 --> 1209.44] which gives me
[1209.44 --> 1210.08] the freedom to
[1210.08 --> 1210.62] preach wherever
[1210.62 --> 1211.48] I feel like it
[1211.48 --> 1211.84] I thought
[1211.84 --> 1212.28] you know what
[1212.28 --> 1212.90] I should preach
[1212.90 --> 1213.76] in front of a bridge.
[1214.22 --> 1214.66] So we went
[1214.66 --> 1215.18] in front of the
[1215.18 --> 1215.94] mission bridge
[1215.94 --> 1216.60] there on
[1216.60 --> 1217.36] Highway 11
[1217.36 --> 1219.82] with the
[1219.82 --> 1220.56] Fraser River
[1220.56 --> 1221.70] in the background.
[1222.00 --> 1222.64] It was a beautiful
[1222.64 --> 1223.70] scenic setting.
[1223.88 --> 1224.62] It was a great
[1224.62 --> 1225.48] place to preach.
[1225.48 --> 1227.72] And when we
[1227.72 --> 1228.42] saw it on the
[1228.42 --> 1229.14] recording then
[1229.14 --> 1229.62] of course
[1229.62 --> 1231.12] because it was
[1231.12 --> 1231.78] a sunny day
[1231.78 --> 1232.66] the river
[1232.66 --> 1233.10] just
[1233.10 --> 1235.24] overexposed
[1235.24 --> 1235.76] everything.
[1236.00 --> 1236.60] So all you
[1236.60 --> 1236.94] could see
[1236.94 --> 1237.44] was me
[1237.44 --> 1237.72] and you
[1237.72 --> 1238.08] couldn't even
[1238.08 --> 1238.88] see the bridge.
[1239.44 --> 1240.24] So I had to
[1240.24 --> 1240.78] think of something
[1240.78 --> 1241.82] else to illustrate
[1241.82 --> 1243.00] this point
[1243.00 --> 1243.74] of saying
[1243.74 --> 1244.16] look
[1244.16 --> 1244.88] if you want
[1244.88 --> 1245.54] to be deeply
[1245.54 --> 1246.58] connected to God
