Rather than being disconnected, each one of these conditions that God places before us, are like a pearl of great price, and they're all strung together in a strand of pearls. So, we have something that holds them together, something that unifies each one of these pearls. How many pearls are on this strand? I don't know, but the string that is used to thread the pearls together, is actually one of the conditions.
