1
00:00:01,900 --> 00:00:04,400
As has been already mentioned, 
we're thankful for the presence 

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,700
of all of you and I am honored 
to be your speaker for just a 

3
00:00:08,707 --> 00:00:13,600
few minutes this morning. 
I can't dive into a topic. 

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,700
Very deep or build a thought for
very long when our sermons are 

5
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:19,900
going to be 10 or 15 minutes 
long. 

6
00:00:20,700 --> 00:00:24,400
But I want to just talk about a 
subject that is often discussed 

7
00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:31,500
in the world and that is are you
spiritual religious or both? 

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,600
Maybe you've heard people say 
this. 

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,900
I have in my life where somebody
might say, I'm not religious, 

10
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,200
I'm just spiritual. 
Well, the question is, is it 

11
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,700
possible according to the word 
of God to be spiritual and not 

12
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:49,600
be religious? 
Are these Concepts found in the 

13
00:00:49,608 --> 00:00:51,700
word of God. 
And what does all that mean? 

14
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:55,700
Well, first of all the mindset 
basically that says, I'm 

15
00:00:55,700 --> 00:01:00,400
spiritual, I'm not religious. 
What people are saying, is this,

16
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:06,800
everything that is relating to 
religious practice, or organized

17
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,600
religion would be considered 
religious and Everything that is

18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,900
associated with the mind or the 
attitude, or the behavior is 

19
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:20,400
dealing with the spiritual. 
So here's the mindset. 

20
00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:24,700
As long as I am preparing my 
mind and my mind is right on the

21
00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:27,700
inside. 
I don't have to be part of any 

22
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:31,600
religious organization at all. 
I don't have to be a part of 

23
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:35,400
organized religion. 
Maybe you've also heard this 

24
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,600
where somebody might say, I 
believe in God. 

25
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,100
I'm a Believer in God but I 
don't believe in any kind of 

26
00:01:44,100 --> 00:01:47,300
organized religion. 
Well, here's the point that I 

27
00:01:47,300 --> 00:01:49,500
want to make. 
We want to notice, is it 

28
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:54,400
possible truly to be spiritual 
and not religious? 

29
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:58,200
Well, first of all, I want to 
ask two questions. 

30
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,300
Is this a distinction that ought
to be made? 

31
00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:06,000
Should we be making a 
distinction between spiritual 

32
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,699
and religious? 
And secondly is God. 

33
00:02:08,699 --> 00:02:12,900
Happy with such a distinction? 
Well, first of all, let's talk 

34
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:16,000
about the definition of 
spiritual according to the 

35
00:02:16,008 --> 00:02:18,900
American Heritage dictionary and
there are four different 

36
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:22,300
definitions interesting. 
I thought especially number for 

37
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:26,800
just a minute but here is how 
the dictionary defined spiritual

38
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:33,400
Relating to consisting of or 
having the nature of spirit. 

39
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:39,200
It is something not tangible or 
material second definition. 

40
00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:44,400
It is concerned with or that, 
which is affecting the soul. 

41
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:48,300
Number three, it is from or 
relating to God. 

42
00:02:48,700 --> 00:02:52,900
But then we get into number 4, 
and it says belonging to a 

43
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:57,300
church or religion. 
It is that which is sacred And 

44
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,000
you know what's interesting 
about this sometimes spiritual 

45
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,100
and the definition of spiritual 
and religious are 

46
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:07,300
interchangeable. 
In fact, this is the definition 

47
00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:12,000
of what it means to be 
religious, you belong to a body,

48
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,700
you belong to a religious 
organization. 

49
00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:18,800
Now it's also the same 
definition definition number 

50
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,800
four, for the word spiritual 
they run hand-in-hand. 

51
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,700
So I think that there are 
similarities and for good 

52
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:30,500
reason. 
One scholar said it this way, he

53
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:33,500
said the reason that they're 
used interchangeably and there 

54
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:36,300
are similarities is because 
there are some things that are 

55
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:41,100
spiritual that are religious and
things that are religious and 

56
00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:44,500
also spiritual we're going to 
get more into that in just a 

57
00:03:44,508 --> 00:03:48,700
minute. 
So those that set up a contrast 

58
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:52,900
between spiritual and religious 
have a special definition for 

59
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:58,100
each Here's the special 
definition for Spiritual. 

60
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,500
They mean, specifically, 
religious Behavior relating to 

61
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:08,300
the mind like meditation. 
Like prayer like devotion. 

62
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,000
Let me ask you this. 
If meditation bad? 

63
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:16,200
No, the Bible says meditate on 
these things meditation is 

64
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,200
wonderful. 
If you're having a problem with 

65
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,700
your thinking in your mindset, 
you have to rid yourself of all 

66
00:04:21,700 --> 00:04:24,800
the negative stuff. 
How do you do it by focusing on,

67
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,300
or meditating on that? 
Which is good, that which is, 

68
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:30,600
lovely, and on, and so on, and 
so forth of good report. 

69
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:33,700
And when the Bible says think, 
on these things, it means 

70
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:35,600
meditate. 
So, meditates a great thing, 

71
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,200
What about this prayer prayer is
part of our life. 

72
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,800
It is everything that we do. 
And by the way, if the only time

73
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,000
you pray is, when you pray for 
your food or you pray at night, 

74
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,600
you're probably not praying 
enough. 

75
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:53,500
Your prayer life should be that,
which incorporates all that you 

76
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:55,100
do. 
What about devotion? 

77
00:04:55,100 --> 00:04:58,300
Absolutely, but the special 
definition for those that are 

78
00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:02,800
Advocates of spirituality 
without religion, say it is 

79
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,900
this. 
It is meditation. 

80
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,800
It is prayer. 
And it's devotion. 

81
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,600
Only, here's the special 
definition that they give when 

82
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,900
they make a distinction between 
the two for the word religious, 

83
00:05:15,700 --> 00:05:19,500
they mean behavior that is 
associated with activities of 

84
00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:24,900
religion such as forms of 
worship and also Church 

85
00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:31,600
attendance, you know, I'll tell 
you I heard a guy say one time 

86
00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:39,000
about spirituality and about 
being a spiritual person and he 

87
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,800
said it's better. 
And he quoted some author. 

88
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:47,400
He said it's better to be like I
am spiritually or be spiritual 

89
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:50,100
he said, because it's better to 
be in the mountains. 

90
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,100
It's better to be in the 
mountains thinking about God 

91
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:55,000
than it is to be in a church 
building. 

92
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,700
Thinking about the mountains. 
Now, when we come together in 

93
00:05:57,700 --> 00:05:59,500
the church building, we don't 
think about the mountains at 

94
00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:01,700
It's true and we assemble his 
worship, we don't think about 

95
00:06:01,700 --> 00:06:04,700
the mountains, and that's true, 
but the concept was this. 

96
00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:10,500
I can have, I can be spiritual 
without worship and without 

97
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:15,900
attendance and without having a 
religious bond with anybody 

98
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:19,300
else, okay? 
So is there really a distinction

99
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:23,500
between spiritual and religious?
There is a distinction. 

100
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,400
It is much as there's a 
difference between the inward 

101
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,100
person, or the spirit and the 
activities of the Out were 

102
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:33,300
person, that is the body. 
Let's give some Bible for that. 

103
00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:37,900
In 2nd Corinthians chapter 4 and
verse 16, where for we faint 

104
00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:40,700
not. 
But though our outward man is 

105
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:44,400
decaying yet, our inward man is 
being renewed day by day. 

106
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,600
So there's a difference. 
There's a distinction between 

107
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,300
the outer man and the inner man 
in our worship though. 

108
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,900
There's also a distinction, 
Jesus talked about worship as 

109
00:06:55,900 --> 00:06:59,800
being in spirit and in truth, 
when Jesus was there, And the 

110
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,600
woman at the well Jesus said, 
God is a spirit and those that 

111
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,500
worship Him must worship him. 
We're going to get more to this 

112
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:15,000
at the end to in spirit and in 
truth I want to make this point.

113
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,400
Please get this. 
It is not good enough to 

114
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,600
robotically, go through the 
mechanics of worship. 

115
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,500
We need to put our whole Spirit 
our whole heart behind it. 

116
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,900
In fact, when the Bible talks 
about from the deepest part of 

117
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:34,800
our heart or the bowels of our 
heart, it's talking about the 

118
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,100
deepest part of emotion. 
So what do we do? 

119
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:41,100
It has to be in truth. 
That is right but it also has to

120
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:43,300
be in spirit. 
It has to come from the heart. 

121
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,500
It has to be the right motive 
behind it. 

122
00:07:45,500 --> 00:07:50,500
All Another word spiritual is in
spirit religious is the part 

123
00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:52,700
that's in truth. 
So yes, there's a distinction 

124
00:07:52,700 --> 00:07:56,200
between the two words. 
However, The biblical 

125
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,300
distinction between these two 
concepts is not nearly as great 

126
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:04,700
as some might think it is. 
So instead of promoting the idea

127
00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:07,600
that you can have one without 
the other, the Bible teaches the

128
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:13,500
opposite being religious is 
dependent on being spiritual and

129
00:08:13,500 --> 00:08:17,600
being spiritual is dependent 
upon being religious. 

130
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,600
Let's look at an example. 
In the Book of James James 

131
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:28,300
chapter 1 and verse, 26, and 27.
James says, if anyone thinks 

132
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:35,100
he's religious If anyone thinks 
he's religious and does not 

133
00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:41,400
Bridle his tongue but deceives 
his own heart, this one's 

134
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:46,300
religion is useless. 
Pure and undefiled religion 

135
00:08:46,300 --> 00:08:49,200
before God. 
And the father is this to visit 

136
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,700
the orphans and widows in their 
trouble and to keep oneself 

137
00:08:52,700 --> 00:08:57,000
unspotted, from the world. 
Now we might think that 

138
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,100
controlling our speech, 
controlling our tongue is a 

139
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:05,200
spiritual thing. 
And James says, it's religious. 

140
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,300
We might think visiting orphans 
and so forth and widows is an 

141
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:15,400
activity that we might consider 
spiritual because it's not 

142
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:20,800
worship and yet James calls it. 
Pure religion. 

143
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:27,000
Now, the point is, this, you 
can't be religious without being

144
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,300
spiritual. 
You can't the opposite. 

145
00:09:31,300 --> 00:09:34,600
True is true as well. 
You can't be spiritual without 

146
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,400
being religious, it goes both 
ways. 

147
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,600
Galatians chapter 6. 
Notice what Paul says here, he 

148
00:09:41,608 --> 00:09:45,600
said Brethren. 
If any man is overtaken in any 

149
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:50,200
trespass. 
You that are spiritual. 

150
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,900
Now first of all, who are they 
who who are the people that are 

151
00:09:54,900 --> 00:09:58,200
spiritual some person that's 
reached a higher level of 

152
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,100
perfection know some person 
that's reached a higher level of

153
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,500
spirituality know whose it 
talking about. 

154
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,800
It's talking about a faithful 
Christian. 

155
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,800
Someone that is walking by the 
dictates of the spirit, Guided 

156
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,300
by the word of God. 
Not a perfect person because 

157
00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:18,400
there is no such thing. 
What it's talking about is if Is

158
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,600
overtaken in a trespass. 
Somebody has to come to the 

159
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,800
rescue, who's the person that 
which is spiritual a Christian, 

160
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,800
has to come to the rescue. 
And restore such an one in the 

161
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,700
spirit of gentleness considering
yourself. 

162
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:40,600
Lest you also be tempted, that's
a very powerful Passage. 

163
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,800
When you go to try to help 
somebody interestingly, the word

164
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,400
restore means mend that which is
broken and sometimes were 

165
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,200
unsuccessful in doing that. 
But we need to try to do our 

166
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,900
best to do that. 
And the one that is spiritual 

167
00:10:55,900 --> 00:10:58,600
goes and tries to restore such 
an one to mend that which is 

168
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,300
broken, but do it in a spirit of
gentleness, considering yourself

169
00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:06,400
two things. 
One don't act like it can never 

170
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,300
happen to you. 
Don't ever act like it could 

171
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:12,600
never happen to you. 
That's number one. 

172
00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:17,400
Number two, don't be tempted 
into thinking that it could 

173
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,900
never happen to you, therefore, 
you've never done anything that 

174
00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:21,400
bad. 
You would never do what this 

175
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,400
person did and Elevate yourself 
with a haughty Spirit, don't do 

176
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,200
that. 
Lest you also be tempted? 

177
00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:32,500
I'm going to taste something 
anybody can fall. 

178
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,800
So do so with the spirit of 
gentleness consider yourself, 

179
00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:41,200
lest you also be tempted but 
what about this? 

180
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,700
Bear one another's burdens. 
You know, one of the most 

181
00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:49,600
powerful things that we have is 
each other. 

182
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,200
And it is true. 
It is true. 

183
00:11:55,300 --> 00:11:57,700
That we bear one another's. 
Burdens in the word burdens 

184
00:11:57,700 --> 00:11:59,600
means heavy. 
Loads, or heavy weights. 

185
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,900
That are hard to bear or carry. 
That's true. 

186
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,700
And it is true that in a general
sense. 

187
00:12:04,700 --> 00:12:08,000
A Christian principle is to be 
there for each other and help 

188
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,900
each other get through stuff. 
That is true. 

189
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,100
But the context of this passage 
is specific and not General, 

190
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,400
it's talking about heavy burdens
that cause your brother, or your

191
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,400
sister to sin. 
That's what it's talking about. 

192
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,900
Help them through that. 
And really, that's exactly what 

193
00:12:23,900 --> 00:12:26,100
the Bible is talking about. 
When it it says confess your 

194
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:30,500
trespasses or your sins to each 
other and pray one for another 

195
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:32,800
that you may be healed, the 
effective fervent prayer of a 

196
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,100
righteous man avails much. 
In other words have helped in 

197
00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:40,900
getting through those times and 
struggles that we go through 

198
00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:44,700
that our burdens that are lead 
us to sin and help each other in

199
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:48,400
that. 
And the Bible says, you fulfill 

200
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:53,900
the law of Christ. 
So helping people that go astray

201
00:12:53,900 --> 00:12:57,400
is a religious thing Helping 
each other. 

202
00:12:58,100 --> 00:13:00,600
Those that are spiritual. 
Do a religious thing. 

203
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,400
Bearing one another's. 
Burdens is fulfilling the law of

204
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:05,900
Christ, which is the law of 
love. 

205
00:13:06,500 --> 00:13:10,200
One more idea of though in First
Peter chapter 2 and verse 5. 

206
00:13:10,900 --> 00:13:14,800
The church is a spiritual 
Institution. 

207
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,300
In First Peter 2 and 5. 
You also as living stones are 

208
00:13:19,300 --> 00:13:22,300
built up a spiritual house. 
So we're talking about that 

209
00:13:22,300 --> 00:13:24,400
which is religious. 
We're talking about organized 

210
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,300
religion. 
We're talking about the church, 

211
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:28,600
the body of Christ. 
What does Peter say? 

212
00:13:28,700 --> 00:13:33,000
It is a spiritual house. 
What are we doing the spiritual 

213
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,700
house? 
Where a holy priesthood and we 

214
00:13:35,700 --> 00:13:40,700
offer up spiritual sacrifices, 
they go hand-in-hand. 

215
00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:44,500
In our service to God 
worshiping. 

216
00:13:44,500 --> 00:13:48,100
God involves our self in 
religious activities. 

217
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,700
You cannot be spiritual without 
being religious as well going 

218
00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:55,700
back to John chapter 4 and verse
24. 

219
00:13:55,700 --> 00:13:59,800
Once More Jesus said, God is a 
spirit and they that worship Him

220
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:05,100
must worship Him in spirit. 
And in truth, the idea of in 

221
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:08,700
spirit is the very idea of being
spiritual and in truth is 

222
00:14:08,700 --> 00:14:12,900
talking about religious. 
SLI another words. 

223
00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:19,000
What the internal is here 
manifest itself in the external 

224
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,500
and we talked about the heart, 
right? 

225
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,100
People struggle with things in 
their life, it's because they 

226
00:14:24,100 --> 00:14:26,700
don't fix it on the inside. 
Everything is about that. 

227
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:29,300
It's about the inside and the 
outside, and they go together 

228
00:14:29,300 --> 00:14:32,900
the internals and the externals 
and they're both there. 

229
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,400
What does God want them in? 
Conclusion. 

230
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,400
God wants us to be both 
spiritual. 

231
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,700
And also religious do you know 
why? 

232
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,700
Because you can't be one without
the other. 

233
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,200
Now I want to just say one final
thing. 

234
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,100
Sometimes people that profess 
Christianity. 

235
00:14:56,300 --> 00:15:02,000
Hurt the cause of Christ because
they're not spiritual. 

236
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,600
What I mean by that, is this, 
sometimes people profess 

237
00:15:07,700 --> 00:15:11,900
religious things or they call 
themself a religious person or 

238
00:15:11,900 --> 00:15:16,800
they're a part of some religious
affiliation but their life is 

239
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,800
not demonstrated in that they 
don't profess that at all. 

240
00:15:20,300 --> 00:15:22,500
I'm going to give you one 
example years ago. 

241
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:25,900
There was a general contractor 
and he told me this he said any 

242
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:30,000
time that somebody as 
subcontractor has on their 

243
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,800
business card. 
Anything at all that resembles 

244
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,600
that there are He said I take 
that business card and I throw 

245
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,800
it in the trash and I said, why 
he says, because everyone that I

246
00:15:40,808 --> 00:15:43,600
have dealt with that professes 
to be religious. 

247
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:49,100
Has been untruthful has lied and
has not been what they said that

248
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:52,100
they were. 
That's the damage that happens 

249
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:56,100
when our life does not manifest.
What we profess to be, we are 

250
00:15:56,100 --> 00:15:59,900
religious people members of the 
body of Christ, but we also live

251
00:15:59,900 --> 00:16:04,100
a spiritual life and we 
demonstrate our spirituality in 

252
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:06,400
the things in which we do every 
day. 

253
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:11,500
God wants us to be both. 
Both spiritual and religious. 

254
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:16,000
I'm through this morning. 
I hope that something was said 

255
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,800
in this little short little 
lesson about the subject. 

256
00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:21,700
If somebody asked the question, 
are you spiritual religious? 

257
00:16:21,700 --> 00:16:25,000
You say I'm both because it 
takes both and they go together 

258
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,100
and you can't have one without 
the other We thank you for
