Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.71,0:00:44.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,why you would go into the bars
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.70,0:00:46.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to actually drink with everybody

Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.24,0:00:51.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I understand the \N"all things to all men"
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.95,0:00:56.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I guess wisdom, insight?

Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.04,0:01:33.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there were three \Nor four others with me

Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.05,0:01:56.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, the next year, I was converted.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.81,0:01:59.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this company that I was working for

Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.90,0:02:04.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I thought to myself,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.37,0:02:09.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and tell him that I've become a Christian.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.29,0:02:11.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I didn't find him at the house,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.39,0:02:13.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I thought maybe he's downtown
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.64,0:02:15.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at the old Cave In.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.26,0:02:17.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so sure enough, there was Herb
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.82,0:02:20.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sitting at the bar.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.20,0:02:22.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he was quite surprised to see me
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.91,0:02:25.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he says, "Bob! Have a chair."

Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.87,0:02:30.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I said, "No thanks, Herb,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.81,0:02:32.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've become a Christian."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.83,0:02:34.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"What?"
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.30,0:02:36.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so we talked awhile
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.69,0:02:38.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he urged me again,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.30,0:02:39.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Have a beer with me."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.88,0:02:41.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I said no.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.34,0:02:42.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he went on.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.45,0:02:44.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"You're telling me you can't just sit here
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.66,0:02:45.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and have a beer with me?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.83,0:02:47.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Who do you think you are?"
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.91,0:02:49.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he put the pressure on,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.23,0:02:50.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and after about four or five times,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.92,0:02:53.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I said, "Okay."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.40,0:02:56.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I had that glass of beer,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.10,0:02:58.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and just as I got it to my lips,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.87,0:03:02.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he said, "Look at that! \NI knew it wasn't real!"
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.43,0:03:04.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it was just like a knife.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.67,0:03:07.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, you know, I think one big thing
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.23,0:03:13.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is are we going to where they're at
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.31,0:03:15.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the atmosphere and the attitude
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.69,0:03:17.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of bringing them out?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.75,0:03:19.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or identifying with them
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.48,0:03:22.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and confirming them in their sin
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.31,0:03:29.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in whatever circumstance it is?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.11,0:03:31.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Tim: Just adding to that,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.22,0:03:34.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know, in every situation,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.52,0:03:36.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we're representatives of Christ,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.86,0:03:38.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we need to portray Him.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.77,0:03:40.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you know, when I talked about
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.74,0:03:42.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just breaking the taboos,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.21,0:03:44.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you think about how Jesus
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.72,0:03:48.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,related with people versus \Nthe religious leaders.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.40,0:03:50.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Think about the things He did.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.31,0:03:52.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He touched lepers.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.80,0:03:55.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You didn't even get downwind from a leper.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.24,0:03:56.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You didn't walk around them.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.68,0:03:59.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He would stop and speak
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.04,0:04:03.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with a woman at a well.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.49,0:04:06.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He would speak with the \NSyro-Pheonician woman.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.14,0:04:07.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He did things, but it was always
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.83,0:04:08.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to show kindness.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.85,0:04:12.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was always as Bob \Nsaid to bring them out.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.20,0:04:16.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you know,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.88,0:04:21.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I like that.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.92,0:04:24.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I like when people are \Ntesting the boundaries,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.91,0:04:27.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but behind it you see \Nthat they're testing it
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.12,0:04:29.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because they really do \Nhave a burden for souls.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.71,0:04:33.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they really have a desire for purity.
