Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.49,0:04:15.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it should be happening in his home

Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.89,0:04:22.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's what struck me.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.22,0:04:25.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because for me, it's \Ngoing out of the house.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.03,0:05:25.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What is that assuming?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.16,0:05:30.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's assuming that I have read God's Word
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.74,0:05:34.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I have sufficiently \Nmeditated on that Word

Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.36,0:05:45.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that I can recall it when its needed.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.70,0:05:47.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know what that's saying?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:47.75,0:05:52.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's saying that when I'm tempted
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.19,0:05:54.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to sin against Him,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.44,0:05:56.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I have His Word in my heart.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:56.08,0:05:58.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I access it.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.08,0:06:00.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there's something in \Nthe truth of that Word
Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.76,0:06:04.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I have hid in my heart
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.43,0:06:07.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that when I think on it,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.27,0:06:10.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's such thought processes happening
Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.45,0:06:14.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I make a conscious \Ndecision not to sin
Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.96,0:06:18.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,based on that reality from God's Word.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:18.99,0:06:20.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you see, there's a disconnect here.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:20.91,0:06:23.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because if I go and talk and get excited
Dialogue: 0,0:06:23.65,0:06:26.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about John 4,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.20,0:06:29.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but here I've got the mouse in my hand

Dialogue: 0,0:06:57.36,0:06:59.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You see, the truths of God's Word -
Dialogue: 0,0:06:59.18,0:07:04.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're falling at that point.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:04.92,0:07:08.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know, I often think -
