[00:00.38] I say to you this morning

[00:02.77] That if you have never found something so dear and so precious to you

[00:09.40] That you will die for it, then you aren't fit to live

[00:14.71] You may be 38 years old as I happen to be

[00:21.36] And one day, some great opportunity stands before you

[00:26.14] And calls upon you to stand up for some great principle

[00:29.86] Some great issue, some great cause

[00:35.45] And you refuse to do it because you are afraid

[00:43.68] You refuse to do it because you wanna live longer

[00:49.56] You're afraid that you will lose your job

[00:52.20] Or you're afraid that you will be criticized

[00:55.39] Or that you will lose your popularity

[00:58.32] Or you're afraid that somebody will stab you or shoot at you or bomb your house

[01:03.89] And so you refuse to take the stand

[01:07.34] Well, you may go on and live until you are 90

[01:13.71] But you're just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90

[01:21.15] And the sensation of breathing in your life is but

[01:25.14] The belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit

[01:30.19] You died when you refused to stand up for right

[01:34.71] You died when you refused to stand up for truth

[01:40.03] You died when you refused to stand up for justice
