00:01 - Your life is a rather finite thing.
00:03 You will live and die having occupied a limited space 00:07 for a limited amount of time, but all the same, 00:11 we seem to sense there's something infinite out 00:13 there to grab hold of, and that's what we're gonna talk 00:16 about on today's installment of "Authentic." 00:19 [upbeat guitar music] 00:40 When I was a kid back in the third grade, my friends 00:42 and I were very impressed with very large numbers. 00:47 "What's the biggest number you can think of?" 00:49 Someone would say, and then somebody else 00:51 with a knowing look would mention the number Google, 00:54 not the search engine obviously, 00:56 because this is years before public internet. 00:59 It was Google the number, and of course 01:02 one of the other kids would then whisper 01:04 with a note of reverence, man, just how big is Google? 01:07 "It's one with a hundred zeroes," somebody would say. 01:10 And we were all very proud that we were capable 01:13 of contemplating such a massive number. 01:16 But of course, none of us were actually capable 01:19 of comprehending it because where in the world 01:21 would you ever use a number that big? 01:24 The most common large numbers we use today 01:26 have six, nine or 12 zeros behind them 01:29 or in other words, millions, billions and trillions. 01:33 We measure national budgets and debts in terms of trillions. 01:37 We measure the universe in terms of hundreds 01:39 of billions of galaxies or hundreds of billions of stars. 01:43 And sadly, in some places we now measure 01:45 the cost of real estate in terms of millions. 01:49 There's just no conceivable situation where 01:51 you'd need a number with a hundred zeros behind it. 01:55 I mean, let's just go back to the subject 01:57 of astronomy for a moment and ask ourselves, 02:00 if you have a hundred billion galaxies 02:02 with a hundred billion stars in each one of them, 02:05 exactly how many stars would that be? 02:08 Well, that would be a one with 22 zeros 02:11 behind it, or a hundred Quintilian, 02:13 which is nowhere near the value of a Google. 02:18 So in reality, a Google might sound impressive 02:21 but there's no practical use for a number that large. 02:25 The word was actually invented by 02:27 a nine year old kid back in 1920, 02:30 the nephew of a well-known mathematician, which might 02:32 be why third graders are so duly impressed by it. 02:37 So we do have to admit Google is very useful 02:40 for dazzling your friends on the playground, 02:42 but in more practical terms, 02:45 we really have no way to use it. 02:47 One author I was reading, put it like this, 02:49 if you filled our observable universe 02:51 with sand and I mean packed it really tightly, 02:54 you would have to do that a hundred thousand times over 02:57 to come up with a Google's worth worth of sand particles. 03:00 So yeah, a Google is very, very large. 03:04 But then of course back in the 1970s, somebody else 03:06 on the playground would then try to outsmart the rest 03:09 of us by bringing up something indisputable. 03:13 An infinity is much, much bigger than Google 03:15 because of course infinity has no upper limit. 03:19 You could start counting today 03:21 and you would never reach the end 03:23 of infinity even if you kept on counting, well forever. 03:28 Now of course, if a Google doesn't have 03:30 a practical application then you'd think that infinity 03:33 would be even less useful but that's not actually the case. 03:37 In fact, it's a number we use quite often 03:40 because infinite things actually happen 03:43 in the world of math. 03:44 When we calculate the value of pi, for example, 03:47 that ever useful number that helps us measure circles 03:50 and globes, what you get is an endless string 03:52 of numbers behind the decimal point. 03:55 It's an irrational number, which means 03:56 that you can't express it neatly as a fraction, even though 04:01 most of us were taught that 22/7 is a close estimate. 04:07 Pi, as you know, is the circumference of a circle 04:09 divided by its diameter, and that produces a series 04:12 of digits after the decimal point 04:15 that never repeats itself and never ends. 04:18 It just goes on and on and on forever with no end in sight. 04:23 Now, practically speaking, stopping at 3.14 is 04:27 close enough for most of the math that most people do. 04:30 So there's no need for most of us 04:31 to deal with an infinite string of decimals. 04:36 So just how big is an infinity? 04:39 Well, by definition it doesn't have a size 04:41 because it's boundless. 04:43 You're never gonna reach the end of it. 04:44 It just goes on and on and on and on and on. 04:48 And that's a concept that can lead 04:49 to some rather problematic math questions. 04:52 For example, what do you get 04:54 if you add infinity to infinity? 04:57 Well, the answer is still infinity 04:58 because the sum is still a number that goes on forever. 05:03 So what you really get is an equation 05:04 that kind of looks like this. 05:06 Infinity plus infinity equals infinity. 05:09 Now, the problem with that is that you can subtract infinity 05:12 from both sides of the equation, which leaves you 05:14 with a statement that says, infinity equals zero 05:18 and we know that can't be right. 05:20 Or you could rewrite the equation 05:22 to say two times infinity equals infinity. 05:25 And if you divide both sides of that equation by two, 05:28 you get infinity equals half of infinity 05:31 which sort of makes sense I guess 05:33 because if you don't know where the end of infinity is 05:36 there's no way to figure out where the halfway point is. 05:40 But then again, adding infinity to infinity 05:42 seems like a silly exercise to begin with 05:45 because really practically speaking, 05:48 you have to know the total value 05:50 of something in order to add it to something else. 05:53 The only way you can add four plus three for example 05:55 is to pick up counting three more places 05:58 after you get to four, which takes you to the answer seven. 06:02 But when you're adding something to infinity 06:04 there's really no starting place where 06:06 you can add your next number which means 06:08 that you can't even add one to infinity. 06:12 So in reality, infinity is just a mathematical concept, 06:16 a useful tool when you're doing complex calculations. 06:20 But still there is a sense in which the number 06:22 infinity enters our everyday understanding of the world. 06:26 Back in 1576, a guy by the name of Thomas Diggs proposed 06:29 that the universe has no outer limit. 06:33 It just continues on in every direction forever. 06:36 In other words, if you get in a spaceship 06:38 and start traveling in a straight line, 06:40 you will keep on traveling forever 06:42 without ever coming back to the starting point. 06:45 Then in 1584, the notable philosopher Giordano Bruno, 06:48 who was burned at the stake, suggested that there 06:52 was absolutely no limit to the universe. 06:55 There was an infinite number of stars 06:57 with an infinite number of planets, 06:58 which of course meant that there were infinite possibilities 07:01 for life to emerge all across the universe. 07:05 Mr. Bruno said, "Innumerable suns exist, 07:08 innumerable earths revolve around these suns 07:10 in a manner similar to the way the seven planets revolve 07:13 around our sun, living beings inhabit these worlds." 07:18 Now, that's an exciting concept, the idea 07:20 that the universe simply goes on forever 07:22 in any given direction, but it's also a concept 07:25 that makes us feel incredibly small and insignificant. 07:29 I mean, who do we think we are? 07:31 There might just be a vastly superior civilization 07:34 somewhere out there beyond the stars, but we will 07:38 never know about them and they will never make contact 07:40 because they live an infinite distance from our planet. 07:44 And I know that's hard to wrap your head around 07:47 because reason demands real numbers in measurable spaces 07:53 but if the universe is infinite 07:54 then there's always gonna be something 07:56 or somebody who's further away 07:57 than our most recent, furthest reaching measurement. 08:02 Of course not all scientists are convinced 08:04 that the universe actually goes on forever. 08:07 What if space is actually curved, 08:09 kind of like the surface of our planet? 08:11 Here on earth, I can travel in a straight line going in 08:14 one direction forever but what I'm doing is circling 08:17 the globe and coming back to my starting point. 08:20 So while there are no actual boundaries to the surface 08:22 of our world, it isn't really an infinite space. 08:26 So what if the universe kind of looks like that? 08:29 What if you get in a spaceship and travel 08:31 in a single direction for a really long time 08:35 and end up exactly where you started? 08:37 Or what if the universe is flat? 08:40 But it kind of works like one 08:41 of those old original Pacman games where 08:43 if you wander off the edge of the screen 08:45 you simply reappear on the other side of the screen 08:48 traveling in the same direction as when you left. 08:52 I mean, anything is possible because we still 08:54 have no idea exactly what's out there. 08:57 And now I've got to take a break 08:58 because apparently my time on this show is not infinite. 09:02 So I'll be right back after this. 09:07 - [Narrator 1] Here at "The Voice of Prophecy," 09:09 we're committed to creating 09:10 top quality programming for the whole family. 09:12 Like our audio adventure series, "Discovery Mountain." 09:16 "Discovery Mountain" is a bible based program 09:18 for kids of all ages and backgrounds. 09:21 Your family will enjoy the faith building stories 09:23 from this small mountain summer camp pen town. 09:26 With 24 seasonal episodes every year 09:29 and fresh content every week, 09:31 there's always a new adventure just on the horizon. 09:38 - For about half a millennium now, 09:39 the human race has been toying with the idea 09:41 that the universe we live in is infinite. 09:44 It just goes on in every direction forever. 09:48 Of course, if that's true it's hard 09:50 to imagine how useful that information would be. 09:53 I mean, I guess it could keep us from launching 09:56 foolish expeditions to find the edge of the universe. 10:00 But beyond that, I'm not exactly sure how practical 10:03 the knowledge of an infinite universe would be. 10:07 But then let's suppose that the universe is actually finite, 10:11 that it has a definite edge and a definite boundary 10:13 and it's all contained in a given space. 10:17 Well then you've got to wonder exactly where that's located. 10:21 Where would our limited universe be housed 10:24 and what would you find next door if you could poke 10:26 through the wall and keep on traveling, another universe? 10:29 And if that was true, how many more universes 10:32 could you expect to find, an infinite number? 10:35 Or maybe leaving the universe is just impossible because 10:39 by its very definition, the universe is all there is. 10:43 But then again, I'm left wondering where 10:46 in the world that one and only universe would reside. 10:49 I mean, I suppose the answer is nowhere in particular 10:53 because things like space and time only exist inside 10:56 the universe and not outside, which would mean 11:00 that while things inside the universe have a location, 11:03 things on the outside wouldn't. 11:05 And of course the idea that there's an outside 11:08 of any kind out there becomes utterly nonsensical. 11:12 It's all very mind-bending. 11:15 It's kind of like when mathematicians talk 11:16 about higher dimensions. 11:19 In our everyday world, there are only four, 11:21 three dimensions of space and one dimension of time. 11:25 So in other words, in order 11:26 for us to perceive that an object exists, 11:29 it has to have width, height, and depth 11:32 and then it has to exist for a given amount 11:34 of time in order to be real. 11:36 So that's four dimensions, but then some egghead 11:39 with an advanced degree in math and physics 11:41 assures us that there's a fifth and a sixth 11:44 and a seventh dimension because the math they say is there 11:49 but try to visualize where a fifth dimension is 11:52 and you run into trouble. 11:53 It's a concept that exists quite outside 11:56 of everyday reality. 11:58 So people who try to illustrate such things 12:00 will often draw what's called a hypercube. 12:03 But in order to draw a hypercube, you have no choice 12:05 but to create a three dimensional diagram. 12:09 Well, actually that's not true because 12:11 if you're drawing it on paper, it's really just 12:12 a two-dimensional drawing meant to help you 12:15 visualize something that exists in more than two dimensions. 12:19 We do the same thing when we draw a three-dimensional cube. 12:23 The drawing is only two dimensions 12:24 but we can easily imagine three 12:26 because that represents the real world we live in. 12:30 A fifth dimension, however, does not. 12:33 That's really hard to conceptualize. 12:36 You might as well try to describe a brand new 12:38 primary color that nobody has ever seen. 12:41 We simply don't have the mental capacity 12:43 to visualize something like that. 12:46 And if your brain is starting to hurt right about now, 12:50 just bear with me for a few more minutes 12:51 because I'm actually going somewhere with this. 12:55 When you ask most Christians about God, 12:58 they're gonna tell you that he's infinite. 13:00 He has unlimited power or omnipotence. 13:03 He has unlimited knowledge, which means he's omniscient. 13:07 And of course, he's not constrained by spatial limitations 13:10 because he created space in the first place 13:12 which means that God can be omnipresent, 13:16 existing everywhere all at the same time. 13:19 Now, that's not quite the same thing as something 13:21 called pantheism which suggests that God 13:24 is his creation, that the physical world 13:26 is just a manifestation of his presence. 13:29 That's an idea that has wormed its way 13:32 into Christian thought from time to time 13:34 but it doesn't agree with the Bible, which tells us 13:37 that the creator is quite distinct from his creation. 13:41 God is more like the master painters of the Renaissance. 13:45 You can find their mark on the paintings they created 13:48 and their art is clearly a representation of who they were 13:53 to the point where experts can tell who the artist 13:55 was just by studying style, but it would be silly 14:00 to suggest that the painting is the painter, 14:03 that doesn't make sense in reality. 14:07 This is one of the major flaws I find in the line 14:09 of reasoning that some modern atheists produce 14:13 in an effort to discount the existence of God. 14:16 When Christians argue that God must be real 14:19 because the universe appears to be designed 14:21 and of course a design suggests a designer, 14:25 some skeptics will sneer and say, "Well then who made God?" 14:29 As if they've driven a final nail into the design argument. 14:32 You find that kind of thinking 14:34 in Richard Dawkins famous book, "The God Delusion," 14:36 where he tries to dismantle the argument from design 14:39 by saying this, "Design is the only alternative 14:44 to chance that the authors can imagine. 14:47 Therefore, a designer must have done it. 14:49 And science's answer to this 14:50 faulty logic is also always the same. 14:54 Design is not the only alternative to chance. 14:57 Natural selection is a better alternative. 14:59 Indeed, design is not a real alternative at all 15:02 because it raises an even bigger problem 15:04 than it solves, who designed the designer?" 15:10 That's a rather disingenuous question 15:13 because he's equating designs and designers, 15:15 which are not the same thing. 15:17 I mean, you could also ask the question, 15:18 who created this painting? 15:20 And somebody else will answer it was Picasso. 15:23 But then if you ask, well, who painted Picasso? 15:27 Well, now you're talking nonsense 15:28 because he's a painter, not a painting. 15:30 And the same thing holds true for God. 15:33 He's not at all the same as his creation 15:35 because he's a creator. 15:37 Who created the creator is a foolish question 15:41 because the answer is nobody. 15:44 He wasn't created. 15:46 But now I'm wandering off track. 15:47 So let's return to the notion of an infinite God 15:50 whose existence does not depend on anything else. 15:53 You and me, our existence is contingent. 15:57 It relies on something. 15:58 For starters, we're the product of our parents' DNA 16:01 and we rely on a continued input of nutrients 16:04 in order to sustain our existence. 16:07 If the planet we inhabit didn't have the elements 16:09 necessary to keep us breathing, we would cease to exist. 16:13 We rely on oxygen and sunlight and sugar 16:17 and a thousand other things in order to exist. 16:20 But God is underived. 16:23 He doesn't rely on anything else 16:25 or anybody else for his existence. 16:28 So when we try to understand him in terms 16:30 of our own experience, well, if we're not careful, 16:33 we can start to get nonsensical answers, 16:35 just like you do when you try to add infinity 16:38 to infinity and then solve for infinity, 16:42 you're defining the infinite in terms of the finite 16:45 and that's never gonna give you a satisfactory result. 16:49 "Great is the Lord," the psalmist wrote, "and greatly 16:52 to be praised and his greatness is unsearchable." 16:57 What we have in the Bible is a God who is 17:00 both knowable and unknowable at the same time. 17:04 He's knowable because he reveals himself to us 17:06 in the pages of Revelation and through the person 17:09 of his son who became a human being 17:11 in order to identify with us. 17:14 "He who has seen me," Jesus said, "has seen the Father." 17:18 And of course then we have one of my 17:20 all-time favorite quotes from Jeremiah chapter nine, 17:23 which you've heard me read about a hundred times before. 17:26 It says, "But let him who glories glory in this, 17:31 that he understands and knows me." 17:35 So on the one hand, God is knowable 17:37 and that's because he's made the effort to intersect 17:40 with our finite temporal world, but at the same time, 17:43 he's beyond that which means there are things about God 17:47 that we will never be able to fully understand. 17:50 I'm reminded of that passage over 17:51 in First Timothy chapter six, where Paul describes Christ 17:55 as "The blessed and only Potentate, the king of kings 18:00 and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality dwelling 18:04 in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, 18:09 to whom be honor and everlasting power." 18:14 Now, I know there are people who will say that the idea 18:17 of an infinite eternal God is some kind of cop out, 18:20 a clever workaround to explain things 18:22 about the Christian faith that are nearly impossible 18:25 to understand in a strictly logical fashion. 18:29 When you can't really explain something rationally 18:32 then you just declare it a mystery and move on. 18:34 Can't understand how God can be one God 18:36 and three persons at the same time. 18:39 Just call it a mystery. 18:41 Can't understand how God spoke the universe into existence. 18:44 Hmm, another mystery, and it kind of sounds 18:47 like the critics have a valid criticism, 18:51 except for one little detail. 18:54 If there really is an infinite eternal God, if that's true 18:58 but we could explain everything about him in perfect detail 19:01 that would mean he isn't an infinite eternal God. 19:05 And if you think about it, it's not really a cop out. 19:08 It's exactly what you'd expect 19:10 if the Bible is telling the truth 19:13 and now I've gotta take a really quick break 19:15 but it's not gonna be an infinite break 19:17 so sit tight and I'll be right back after this. 19:23 - [Narrator 2] Life can throw a lot at us. 19:26 Sometimes we don't have all the answers 19:29 but that's where the Bible comes in. 19:32 It's our guide to a more fulfilling life. 19:35 Here at "The Voice of Prophecy," we've created 19:37 the Discover Bible guides to be your guide to the Bible. 19:40 They're designed to be simple, easy to use 19:42 and provide answers to many of life's 19:44 toughest questions, and they're absolutely free. 19:48 So jump online now or give us a call 19:49 and start your journey of discovery. 19:53 - Saul of Tarsus was indisputably one 19:55 of the brightest minds of the first century. 19:58 Not only did he study at the feet of Gamaliel, 20:01 one of the greatest teachers of the ancient world 20:04 but he also produced the bulk of the New Testament 20:07 by writing letters that were so dense with systematic 20:10 and profound theology that scholars continue 20:13 to marvel over these writings even now. 20:17 And in the book of Romans, 20:18 which many consider to be Paul's masterpiece, 20:21 he made this statement about the nature of God. 20:25 He said, "Oh, the depths of the riches, both of the wisdom 20:28 and knowledge of God, how unsearchable 20:32 are his judgments in his ways past finding out. 20:35 For who has known the mind of the Lord 20:37 or who has become his counselor 20:40 or who has first given to him, and it shall be repaid 20:42 to him, for of Him and through him and to him 20:46 are all things to whom be glory forever." 20:50 Now, Paul was quoting from the Old Testament using passages 20:53 from Isaiah, Jeremiah, and the Book of Joab, and in the book 20:57 of Joab we find a statement about God's creative power 21:01 where it says, "Indeed, these are the mere edges 21:04 of his ways and how small a whisper we hear of him 21:08 but the thunder of his power who can understand?" 21:12 So again, if God is real and the universe really owes 21:17 its existence to him, then you'd have to expect 21:20 that we're not gonna know everything that God knows. 21:23 We're not going to be able to wrap our finite minds 21:27 all the way around his infinite existence. 21:30 And yeah, that can be frustrating because as one 21:33 trashy tabloid used to say, "Inquiring minds want to know." 21:39 But then on the other hand, 21:40 I also kind of find it exhilarating 21:42 because I've been studying the mind and character 21:44 of God as they're portrayed in this book for decades 21:49 and I know I've barely scratched the surface. 21:52 It's a subject that I'm never going to exhaust 21:54 because no matter how long I live, I'm dealing 21:58 with eternity and I'll not get to the end of it. 22:02 I mean, just think about your college courses, especially 22:04 if you were a liberal arts major like me, and just think 22:08 about how boring and redundant those courses can be. 22:12 After a while, I'll admit it, 22:14 I just quit going to class because I realized 22:16 that the professors had nearly exhausted the subject 22:19 and there was so much overlap between classes 22:22 that I could basically fake my term papers 22:25 by blending ideas from other classes 22:28 and rebranding them for my current class. 22:31 There comes a point with human knowledge 22:33 where you say to yourself, is that it? 22:37 That's all there is? 22:39 I mean, go and ask a doctoral candidate what they think of 22:41 their specialty when they're finished writing their thesis 22:45 and a lot of them will tell you they never want 22:47 to see the subject again as long as they live. 22:51 And that's the way it is 22:52 with ordinary everyday knowledge, 22:55 you almost always reach a saturation point 22:59 where there's not much more you can learn. 23:02 But if the infinite God is real 23:04 and he's made an effort to communicate with us, 23:07 then I would suggest that you're 23:08 never gonna hit a saturation point. 23:11 You're never going to come to a moment when you feel 23:13 like you've hit the end of the subject. 23:18 You know, I've been reading this book now for decades 23:21 and every time I open it, I learn something new 23:23 about this infinite God to whom 23:25 I'm indebted for my very existence. 23:28 Every time I think I've mastered some aspect 23:30 of God's character, I discover 23:33 that I've barely gotten started. 23:36 The pursuit of God is different 23:37 from every other pursuit because it takes you 23:39 to the most important questions in the universe. 23:43 Who are you and what does it mean 23:45 to live an authentic human life? 23:48 What does it mean to be made in the image of God? 23:51 Why do we have to suffer if God is really good? 23:54 And how can we know if our knowledge is accurate, 23:58 that we actually understand things? 24:01 Look, I've been reading the major works of philosophy ever 24:04 since I was a kid, and I have a deep appreciation 24:07 for some of the brilliant minds who produced 24:09 all these profound written works of art. 24:12 They've brought me a lot of enjoyment 24:15 but with all of them, I eventually come 24:17 to a point where I'm forced to ask, is that it? 24:21 Is that really all they have to say on that subject? 24:25 It's especially bad when they failed 24:27 to come up with meaningful answers. 24:29 They ask a lot of meaningful questions 24:32 but it's not very often 24:33 that they come to meaningful conclusions. 24:35 However, with the Bible, it's different. 24:39 This is the product of an infinite mind, 24:41 a mind that came up with us, 24:44 and so you're never gonna hit the bottom of it. 24:47 For example, just when you think 24:48 you're beginning to understand what love is, 24:51 you find a more profound expression of love 24:53 in the pages of this book. 24:55 When you think you finally figured out 24:56 what justice means and how to build a just society, 25:00 you'll find your ideas being torn to shreds 25:02 by the one who invented justice 25:03 and righteousness in the first place. 25:06 Just when you think you know what it means to live 25:08 a human life authentically, you suddenly find the story 25:12 of a man who has captured the collective imagination 25:14 of this planet for 2000 years because his human life 25:19 simply towers above ours and we get this sense that 25:22 he's showing us what human life was supposed to look like. 25:27 All right, I've gotta take another quick break 25:29 but I'll be right back after this. 25:34 - [Narrator 3] Dragons, beasts, cryptic statues. 25:38 Bible prophecy can be incredibly vivid and confusing. 25:43 If you've ever read Daniel or Revelation 25:45 and come away scratching your head, you are not alone. 25:48 Our free Focus on Prophecy guides 25:50 are designed to help you unlock the mysteries 25:53 of the Bible and deepen your understanding 25:55 of God's plan for you and our world. 25:57 Study online or request them by mail 26:00 and start bringing prophecy into focus today. 26:04 - Infinity is a massive number, a number without limit 26:07 and it's fun to think about infinity when you're doing math. 26:11 It's fun to think about a beam of light launching 26:13 into space and traveling in a straight line forever 26:17 continuing to move in one direction long after you died. 26:21 There's just something fascinating 26:23 about the concept of eternity, and sure enough, 26:26 when you turn to the pages of the Bible, 26:27 you discover that God planned it that way. 26:31 He says in Ecclesiastes 3:11, 26:33 "He has made everything beautiful in its time. 26:36 Also, he has put eternity in their hearts 26:38 except that no one can find out the work 26:40 that God does from beginning to end." 26:44 Let me suggest that when we're reading the works 26:47 of human philosophers, we find incredibly useful ideas 26:51 because those people were really intelligent. 26:56 But when you open the Bible, you find the ideas 26:58 of the philosophers are really the shallow end 27:00 of the pool when compared to the ideas 27:03 that emerged from the heart and mind of God. 27:07 There's just something about the Bible that really speaks 27:09 to the heart, that satisfies our hunger to know things. 27:14 If this book really is the voice 27:16 of an infinite God trying to communicate with us 27:19 that would mean it's probably worth your time to 27:22 really investigate him carefully, honestly, prayerfully 27:29 because maybe, just maybe, the God who inspired this book 27:35 is bigger than the questions you've had all your life. 27:38 You know that same chapter 27:40 in the book of the Ecclesiastes says, 27:42 "I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever. 27:46 Nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. 27:50 God does it that men should fear before him." 27:54 Thank you for listening. 27:56 I'm Shawn Boonstra, 27:57 and this has been another episode of "Authentic."
