Dialogue: 0,0:21:57.20,0:21:58.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in high regard, and it's John,
Dialogue: 0,0:21:58.95,0:22:03.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,chapter 3:30, and he says, "Jesus

Dialogue: 0,0:22:19.95,0:22:21.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what Leeah said, because if a person
Dialogue: 0,0:22:21.98,0:22:24.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is leading worship and they're frowning -

Dialogue: 0,0:22:57.68,0:22:59.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(John) Exactly. What's amazing
Dialogue: 0,0:22:59.27,0:23:02.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that the Bible is very balanced.
