That's a blessing. OK. I'm so
excited to look at what we're going to look at today. We're
going to start looking at the fruit of the spirit today. We're
not going to spend a whole lot of time on the fruit of the works
of the flesh, because that's pretty self-explanatory. And
as we go through that portion of the text, I will just comment
on what those things are so that we will have an understanding
of them. And we will see that. We're guilty of at least one
of them things in there. I'll tell you what, every one
of us. Remember too, the Lord spiritualized
the law. When you see it says adultery,
it says the Lord took that and he said, if a man lusts after
a woman, he's committed adultery with her. When he spiritualized
the law, we're all done, every one of us. every one of us. So we're going to see what the
works of the flesh are, and then we're going to start looking
at the fruit of the Spirit. We're only going to do one of
those today, love, because I want to go through those fruits. And
again, remember, it's the fruit of the Spirit. It's not things
we naturally produce. It's produced in us by the Holy
Spirit of God. I remember when I was in religion,
I used to say, well, I need to be more joyful. I need to make
myself more joyful. You know what I found out? I
can't make myself more joyful. Because it's fleeting, isn't
it? But if the Holy Spirit gives us joy and peace and love, that's
lasting. See, we as believers, we have
an underlying joy, don't we? We have an underlying joy that
can't be disturbed. And that's joy in the Lord. Let's
join in our King, join in our Savior. That the world can't,
things can happen in our lives that can shake it, but it will
never go away, will it? It'll never go away. Okay. Turn
in your Bibles to Galatians chapter five, if you will. We'll continue
our study where we left off last week. Paul was bringing forth
that we believers are to walk in the Spirit. and do not fulfill
the lusts of the flesh. So let's read verses 16 to 18
again. We looked at those last week.
We'll just read them today. It says here, this I say, then
walk in the Spirit, capital S, so he's talking about the Holy
Spirit of God, the Spirit that is within us, and you shall not
fulfill the lusts of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the
Spirit. So last week, the message was about the war and the believer.
how we have this battle going on inside us. Every believer
has this. We didn't have it before we were
saved, did we? But now we have this battle, this battle with
the war, this war against the flesh lusting, the flesh warring
against the spirit. And the spirit against the flesh,
and they are contrary to one to another. So they're totally
contrary, we saw last week. They're in opposition to each
other. So that you cannot do the things that you would. You
ever find that? You ever find that you can't do the things
you would? Right? We all do, don't we? Let's be
honest, all of us. Right? All of us. We want to
serve the Lord all the time, don't we? We want to have the
joy in our heart all the time. But there are some times where
I'm getting used to having a new puppy. It's like having a kid
again. OK? And I told my wife, I told
Vicki this morning, I said, I'm sorry, I'm a little edgy lately. Because I got to get used to
this new routine, right? Because it's all new, isn't it? It's all new. It's all new. Well, that's my flesh, you see? That's my flesh. That's my selfishness,
right? That's right. No, but I realize
that more and more now. That's my selfishness. That's
me being interrupted in my daily life. But the reward down the
road is going to be incredible. We all know that we have kids,
right? Kids are wonderful. It's tough
when we're raising them. There's a lot of things you go
through. But the reward. Right? You're all smiling, because
you all know what it's like raising those kiddos, eh? We all know
what it's like. But see, so spiritually here,
you've got the flesh that desires all these things that it used
to want to desire. And it's that constant war with
the spirit within us. Right? It says here, so that
you cannot do the things that you would. But if you be led
of the Spirit, now here's good news. You're not under the law. Free from the law, oh happy condition,
right? Free, free from the law. Look
at these wonderful words. If you be led of the Spirit,
you're not under the law. These words are honey to the
believer's souls, aren't they? We've been free from the law.
We have a full salvation, full salvation, full pardon, all according
to the free grace of God. given to us in Christ Jesus our
Lord. It's absolutely wonderful. And
we're seeing the next section here, verses 19 to 21, will give
us a list of the things that are the works of the flesh. Things
that are natural for us, beloved. Natural for us. And then, in
verses 22 to 23, we'll see that which describes the fruit of
the Spirit. That which is worked in us by
the Holy Spirit of God. That which is not natural to
us. Even the love. The love that we have naturally
is a selfish love. It's a selfish love. The love
that God gives us is a selfless love. We end up loving God more
than anything else in this world. And we desire to serve him. Where
the love that we have naturally always serves us. always serves
us. We'll see that later on. My oh
my. And there's such a contrast between
the two, the works of the flesh and the spirit, that only those
who are still dead in trespasses and sins will not see the importance
of what we're going to look at. We who are born again will see
the importance of what we're going to look at. But those who
are dead in trespasses and sins will think, why are you even
looking at this stuff? Why is this even important? I
love people. That's what they're saying. Oh,
my. This is different love. This
is the love of God shed abroad in our hearts. My. And the Lord Jesus Christ who
dwells in our heart is the very reason that we are not led by
the law but by the spirit of God. And the only way we do anything
pleasing to God is in Christ Jesus our Lord. The scripture
says this, for we are his workmanship. We're God's workmanship. Remember,
he's the potter and we're the clay. Created in Christ Jesus
under good works which God hath before, that's in eternity, ordained
that we should walk in them. And we don't know what those
good works are. I told you guys a story about
the foolishness of the whole reward system and how a young
man I used to know said, oh my friend got to the door before
I did to open up the door for an older lady and he got the
reward. Wow, that's just foolishness. You open a door for a lady because
it's the right thing to do. Right? Not to get a reward. Do you see how that system, that
dispensational system will bring forth this whole aspect of things
you have to do to get rewarded? Who's our reward? Somebody tell
me. Amen. Do we need anything else? Amen. We don't need nothing else, do
we? All in all, he's our reward. Well, praise God. That's good
enough, right? That's good enough. Oh, my. Now let's read verses
19 to 21, and I'll give definitions of what these words mean. We'll
clearly see the contrast between the works of the flesh and the
fruit of the spirit. We're not, again, spending much
time on the works of the flesh as we go through this. I'll give
some descriptions. And it'll be pretty self-explanatory
that way. Now, the works of the flesh are
manifest, which are these. Adultery, that's a married man
or woman having sex with someone else. Fornication, any sexual
misconduct. And then the word uncleanness,
which is a general name for all immoral acts in thought, word,
or deed. We're all done right there, right? Yeah? And then lasciviousness,
that's an evil that proceeds from the heart and leads to lascivious
living without any restraints. That's the antinomianism aspect,
where people say, oh, if I believe what you believe, I could just
live however I want. No, it's right there. We're not
lascivious, beloved. We're led by the Holy Spirit
of God. Right? And then idolatry, that's a worshiping
of other gods, bowing down to grave and image, which also includes
covetousness. There's still idolatry going
on in the Roman Catholic Church. They're bowing down to Mary and
statues of all the saints. There's Buddhism, which has a
giant statue of supposedly Buddha. And they bow down to that. There's
all kinds. In India, they have multiple
gods. They bow down to pitchers. They bow down to rocks. They
bow down to wood. All kinds of things. And they
won't kill a cow because it might be their ancestor. All kinds
of stuff that, because they believe in reincarnation, all kinds of
stuff that is so opposed to what scripture is. It's just idolatry. And in witchcraft, that's attempts
to associate with devils or pretended magical powers. trying to communicate
with the dead, and in hatred. Another one that gets all of
us. It's inward malice. Inward malice within the heart.
Malice against another that breeds a spirit of revenge. You ever
wanted to get revenge on someone? That's malice. That's malice. And it's natural, right? Oh,
you got me? I'm going to get you right back. It's natural
to the flesh, isn't it? It's something that occurs naturally
for us. It's an automatic trigger for
us. Variance. That's a contentious spirit that
leads to continual spirit of fighting and quarreling with
another. You ever been around a contentious person? They're
always looking for something to complain about. They're always
looking for something to fight about. Or if you don't say a
word right, they'll correct you. Or if you don't do something
right, they'll correct you. Right? That's that kind of spirit. That's flesh. That's the flesh. And then emulations, that's a
jealous or envious spirit openly manifest against the honor and
happiness of others. So to be jealous of other people's
happiness. Right? We're to rejoice when, if the
Lord blesses our brothers and sisters with something, financially
or anything, New puppy? See, I've got to stop having
that, right? Thanks, Dave. But not to be jealous about that.
Dave's jealous. Dave has to confess that he's
having emulations right now. Yeah, you're awesome, brother. And in wrath, now this again
is, see all these things are common to us, beloved. All these
things are common to us. They all are. Look at this. Wrath, which is violent emotion
that plots and seeks the hurt of others. Plotting behind people's
backs to do harm to them. That's what that is. And then
strife. This is just expressions of enmity
in any debate with others. So anger when you're debating
others. The one thing I don't do anymore,
I don't get angry when I talk about scripture. I just present
it. Right? I know that presenting the truth
before people is sometimes going to upset them. But there's nothing
we can do about that, is there? There's nothing we can do. We
just place that truth in front of them and leave it there. But
I don't debate the word of God anymore. Don't debate the word
of God. Just present it. Just present it. It's not up
for debate, is it? In the beginning, God created
the heavens and the earth. It's not up for debate. Christ said you
must be born again. It's not up for debate, right? God said salvation's only in
my son. That's not up for debate. For by grace you're saved through
faith, and that not of yourselves. It's a gift of God, not of works,
lest any man should boast. That's not up for debate. You
see? So that's what that is. That's
that strife. And then we have seditions, which
is divisions. Now we've been looking at that. There's seditions
going on in the churches in Galatia. Seditions. Seditions is divisions
or sects, insurrections, an attempt to separate others from the main
body of believers. I'm gonna say something, we saw
that three years ago. Right? We saw that three years
ago. And the Lord took care of it.
Didn't he? He took care of it. And then
heresies, which is false doctrine, that's contrary to the true gospel.
Paul's dealing with that here too, isn't he? They're saying
you must be circumcised to be saved, that's a heresy. Somebody
says you must be baptized to be saved, that's a heresy. Someone
says you must be baptized with the Holy Spirit to speak in tongues,
that's a heresy. And it goes on, it goes on and on. Someone
says Christ is not the Son of God, that's a heresy. Jehovah's
Witnesses don't believe in the Holy Spirit, and they believe
that the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Word of God,
is a lesser God. That's a heresy. You see? Sabbatarians believe
you have to worship on Saturday instead of Sunday. That's a heresy. Christ is our Sabbath. We can
worship Christ any day. We could have church on Thursday
if we wanted to. Right? My oh my. Envyance, that's a jealous desire
to have what others have or to be better than others. Murderers,
that's taking a man's life and shedding innocent blood. Drunkenness,
that's excessive drinking of alcohol, beverages. Reviolence,
this can refer to an excess of anything, but would include rioting
and wantonness, which oftentimes is a result of drunkenness. And
then he says, and such like. So anything he's missed, he's
just going to put it in such like. Right? Which is any sinful worldly activities,
and there's too many to list. Oh my. And then he says, look
at this. Of which I tell you before, as
I have also told you in times past, that they which do such
things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Now we look at
that list. We look at that list and we say,
well, I even do some of those as believers. Right? Amen, sister. She said our sins
are covered. washed in the precious blood
of the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul is not saying that a child
of God can lose their salvation. He's not saying that at all.
Now people would think that. They'd go, oh my gosh, I'm in
such despair now. I'm trusting Christ, but I do
all these things. Oh my. So if we fall into a sinful
trap, can we lose our salvation? No. And he'll take us out of
that, won't he? He'll deliver us, won't he brother
Dan? He'll deliver us out of those things. And he does. All the time. Think of David. Think of David. Hey brother Travis,
David. He committed adultery. He had
a man murdered, sent to the law. Scripture says he's a man after
God's own heart. Now that doesn't condone what
he did, right? Because he paid a price for that. His little
baby died, didn't he? And he said, he said, he said,
my baby can't come to me, but I can go to him. He's in glory. Right? Oh, my. Oh, my. And Paul, think of Paul. We've read in the study that
Paul destroyed the church. Remember in the Greek it was
destroyed? when it says he wasted the church
of God, that's destroyed in the Greek. He went around seeking.
He wanted to, I'll tell you what he wanted to do. He wanted to
wipe the church off the face of the earth. That's what he
wanted to do. And little did he know, he's a chosen vessel
of God. He has no idea. He's out there,
he's having Christians murdered, he's grabbing them, dragging
them back to Jerusalem, throwing them in jail, right? Stephen,
he was right there. They laid Stephen's coat right
on his feet. He condoned it. He's a chosen vessel of mercy,
beloved. Oh my, isn't it wonderful? Gives
us hope, eh? And you know why I talk about
how how we are secure in Christ.
I've heard, I've heard, and I'm not gonna say, but I've heard
some preachers say, well, I hope I'm saved. I'm saved, beloved.
Are you? See, we're gonna make our election
and calling sure. Do you know why I know I'm saved?
Because God tells me I can know. In 1 John, we can know. Who are
you trusting right now? I don't care about 20 years ago.
I don't care about that. Who are you trusting today? Who's
your savior, your hope? Who's your all-in-all right now?
Is it the Lord Jesus Christ? Well, glory be to God, we're
saved. Right? And you've got to make your election
call and show too, right? Examine yourself. Who are you
trusting right now? See, we can rejoice in this hope
right now, beloved. I have eternal security right
now in Christ. It has nothing to do with me. Absolutely nothing
to do with me. I'm just a receiver of this mercy
and I'm so thankful. Are you? Oh my. Isn't that wonderful? A full
salvation that we had nothing to do with except the sinning.
Right? And we did that real good, didn't
we? Yeah. Oh, that's wonderful, beloved.
This, amen, praise the Lord is right, amen, it's wonderful.
It's absolutely wonderful. So Paul's going out, he's destroying
the church, and the Lord saves him. Oh my, and so much so that
the believers say, he which destroyed the faith, he now preaches the
gospel. That's a miracle, isn't it? We're
all miracles, beloved. Every one of us, walking miracles,
isn't it wonderful? Isn't it wonderful? Oh my. So Paul's not
saying that a believer can lose their salvation. No, no. He's saying these are the works
of the flesh. But we have a new master now,
don't we? Who was our master before? Sin and Satan. We got
a new master now. Henry Mahan used to say, our
hearts say, under new management. Right? Jesus Christ our Lord. He dwells in us, beloved. Isn't
it wonderful? Now, we're still plagued with
the old nature, right? We saw that last week. We see
it right here in this whole list of the works of the flesh. And
the reason, think of this too, the Holy Spirit's put these forth
for us. And we look at those and go, oh my, that's stupid. I do those things. Right? But notice what he said
before this. Walk in the Spirit, not in the
flesh, so that you can do the things. You see? The Holy Spirit's
not saying we're not going to do those things. He's just listening
for us to know this is the work of your flesh. Remember, this
is written to save people in Galatian churches. You see the reality? I love this. You know why I love this? Because
it speaks so much to my soul that I'm a sinner saved by the
grace of God. And I look at those things and go, oh my. But then
I look at the fruit of the Spirit. I have a love in my heart. Ask
yourself. I have a love in my heart now.
I can't explain it to anyone else. This love loves Christ
above everything. My daughter one time asked me,
she says, do you love God more than me? She did a little five-year-old.
Do you love God more than me? And I said, yes, I do, honey.
But my love for God is a different love than I have for you. But
I do love God more than anybody in this world. Vicky's told me
the same thing. We both acknowledge that. We
love God more than we even love each other, which is a deep love
we have for each other. But we love the Lord more than
anything, beloved. He is our King. He is our Savior. He is our Redeemer. He is our
all in all. Without Him, we have nothing,
do we? Nothing. And the Scripture says this,
in the flesh dwelleth no good thing. That's why we're at war
with each, that's why the flesh is at war with the spirit constantly.
This flesh, we saw those lists, they don't have nothing good
in it, does it? And understand that these sinful practices and
characteristics are of the flesh, and that we've done them, and
we may do them, and we still have the potential to do them.
It's still present in our flesh. It's evidenced by what, Abraham?
Evidence by David. Evidence by law. Evidence by
Peter. I'll never deny you. Three times. I've learned something. I told
Vicky this. I told Vicky this. I've learned something. I told
her this morning. I've learned to never say never. Because the minute
you say never, oh my goodness. You know, when I was religious,
oh, it was horrible. You say, oh, I'll never do that.
And here I was, the worst sinner of all, and still I am. I told
someone the other day, religious folks, I think I told you before,
I said, I'm the chief of sinners. I'm the worst of the worst in
this world. Hey, look out your light. Well, God really does
save the worst, doesn't he? And I'm like, you're just as
bad as me. But yeah, that's right. He does.
He does. See, they don't see it in themselves,
do they? That's one thing God teaches us. And we acknowledge
and we believe that we are the chief of sinners. But praise
God, we're under the blood. Praise God. He's washed us and
cleansed us in his precious, precious blood. And we're born
again by the Holy Spirit of God, given faith to believe. Oh, it's
wonderful. I'll tell you, it just gets better,
and this salvation just gets better and better and better.
Now we're born again, washed in the precious blood of Jesus
Christ, and the intentions of our lives and the bent of our
life, of our wills is now holiness, righteousness, and peace. And those who would still live,
those who would live by these principles, The less of the flesh are not
important when we live by those principles of desiring to serve
Christ. And it's not somebody got a crack
of whip on us, is it? You're fine. You just want to
serve the Lord. And when I say that, I don't mean just serving
in church. I mean 90% of our Christian walk
is at home, right? Outside this building, right?
Probably 90%, I'd say. Everyday lives. We seek to serve
the Lord. You ever find yourself, wake
up, you got a song in your heart? Or you just wake up, you start
talking to the Lord? Or through the day, all of a sudden, a song
comes in your heart, and you just start praising God? Or you
remember something from a sermon, somebody said, man, it's just
a light job. That's the Holy Spirit in us.
That's the new creature rejoicing in the things of God, the things
of the Spirit. And it's wonderful. Did you do
that before the Lord saved you? Nope, not at all, right? Amen,
sister. Nope. Not at all. That's the miracle of the new
birth. We are new creatures in Christ.
And it's absolutely amazing. Now we trust the Lord. No matter
what comes, we trust him, don't we? Look at our dear brother
and sister, what they've went through, just trusting the Lord. And they've been examples to
us of that, by the grace and mercy
of God. And they'll be the first to acknowledge,
to give him all the glory. My oh my, it's wonderful. God
is so good to us. I like what Vicki says when I
say, I say, man, God's so good. She goes, all the time. And I'm
like, yeah, you're right. All the time is right. All the
time. Well, I'm not even getting to
the fruit of the spirit yet. I mean, we've been just rejoicing
in Christ here. Oh my. So beloved God, if God
the Holy Spirit has come into our hearts, then the love of
God is shed abroad in our hearts. Turn, if you would, to 2 Peter.
2 Peter. And when that love of God is shed in our hearts, it's
impossible for us not to love what God loves. You see, that's
why we now love what God loves. Because the Holy Spirit of God
is in us now. We didn't love the things of
God before we were born again. But now, what's that song? All that thrills my soul is Jesus. See, the world's lost its luster,
hasn't it? We're looking to a better country. Every one of us in here is going
to die. Every one of us. The question is, where will we
be after we die? Well, those who trust Christ
will be in glory with Christ. Those who are born again. He
said, He said, you must be born again. Those who are born again
will see the kingdom of heaven, won't we? And it's glorious. What a hope we have, beloved,
amidst this world. It's a world of sorrow, isn't
it? We've had a lot of sorrow in a very short time amongst us,
haven't we? My. But we have an underlying joy
and peace, don't we? And rest in Christ. That amidst
the waves of this world, and they're waves, man, I'll tell
you, they're like tsunamis sometimes. The boat is not capsized because
we have the captain. I preached on Wednesday night
about, we're not like driftwood in the ocean of Providence. You
ever seen driftwood in the ocean? It just floats wherever it goes. It floats wherever. You know
what? We're not like driftwood. We are steered by the hand of
providence in the ocean of providence. And we're being steered to a
destination. That's glory. To be in the presence of our
king. We're not like this. So amidst the storms of life,
God's hand's just directing us. Isn't that wonderful? That gives
us joy. That gives us peace, doesn't
it? That gives us rest amidst the turmoils of this world and
the trials and the tribulations of this world, the sorrow of
this world. It gives us a peace. That peace is the peace that
passes all understanding, that keeps our hearts and minds focused
upon Christ and Christ alone. My, I was reading Spurgeon's,
one of Spurgeon's deacons this week, he has one book he wrote,
Thomas More, Spiritual Councils, and the devotionals that we were
looking at, All of them, constantly. I think
I read four or five of them with some of the guys. And they constantly
said, keep your eyes on Christ. Keep your eyes on Christ. Keep
your eyes on Christ. That's what we grace preachers
say all the time, right? Keep your eyes on Christ. We're only
here for a short time. We're only here for a short time.
Look at this in 2 Peter, starting in chapter 1. Simon Peter, a
servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained
like precious faith. Remember how I said I know that
I'm saved? Why? Because I've obtained like
precious faith. Have you? Are you saved by Christ? Then
we can say, I've obtained like precious faith. See, Paul wasn't,
and this isn't being presumptuous, not at all. Because his whole
trust is Christ. That's all. He's saying, now
he's writing, he's saying, I'm writing to you who have obtained
this like precious faith that I have. And remember, this is
inspired by the Holy Spirit of God. So Peter's writing them
and telling them. He says here, to them that have
obtained like precious faith with us, how? Through the righteousness
of God and our Savior, Jesus Christ. See, in the gospel, the
righteousness of God is revealed, and that's in Christ. Grace and peace, grace always,
notice this, grace always precedes peace. There is no peace without
grace. Grace and peace be multiplied
unto you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
according as his divine power hath given unto us all things
that pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of him
that hath called us to glory and virtue. Whereby are given
unto us, do you know all the promises of God to Israel are
ours? in Christ, because Scripture
says all the promises of God are yea and amen in Christ. I
used to think they, when I was a dispensationalist, I used to
think that all those promises were just for Israel. No, they're
all for us. They're for the Israel of God.
This is wonderful, look at this. We've been given unto us exceeding
great You can't measure and precious promises. that by these you might
be partakers of the divine nature, look at that, having escaped
the corruption that is in the world through lust. And besides
this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, into virtue
knowledge. We grow in the knowledge and
truth of the Lord Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit teaching us.
Into knowledge, temperance, into temperance, patience, into patience,
godliness, into godliness, brotherly kindness, into brotherly kindness,
charity, which is love, For if these things be in you and abound,
they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Isn't that wonderful? But he
that lacketh these things is blind and cannot see afar off
and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore
the rather brethren give diligence to make what? Your calling and
election sure. That's examining ourselves. Am
I in Christ? Who is my total hope? Is it Christ
or is it Christ in something I do? See, if it's Christ in
something you do, it's not eternal hope. And you can put whatever
you want in that. Because salvation is through
Christ in him alone. by his blood, shed to redeem
our souls, and by his merit and his perfect work. Wherefore,
the rather brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election
sure. For if you do these things, you shall never fall. Look at
that. If you're incorrect, there's
that word again, shall. It's everywhere. I'm telling
you, that word is everywhere. For so an entrance shall be ministered
unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ. So through the miracle of the
new birth, we be made partakers of God's divine nature we saw
there. Turn back to Galatians chapter 5 now. And we will have to close here.
I'm just going to read the fruit of the spirit. Boy, oh boy. Now, this love that's mentioned
here is a love that we've never had before. And this joy is not
a natural joy. And this peace is not a natural
peace. And this long-suffering is not
a natural long-suffering. And this gentleness is not a
natural gentleness. And this goodness is not a general
goodness. This faith is not a natural faith. It's given by God. It's
a gift of God. It's nothing we can muster up.
Meekness. I told you guys the story, but
I'm going to tell you again. Vicky told me, you know, she
said a long time ago when she first met me, when I was, she
goes, oh, you're real meek. And so she wrote me, she drew
me a lion, a head of a lion. I loved it. And she put meekness. And I, I'm at work and I'm like, my
fiance says I'm meek. She even drew me a picture of
a lion. That was the opposite of meekness. That was natural
flesh meekness. which is no meekness at all. Oh my. So this meekness is not
natural for us. This temperance is not natural.
And it says, against such there's no law. And they that are Christ
have crucified the flesh with the afflictions and lusts. If
we live in the spirit, let us walk in the spirit. Let us not
be desirous of feigned glory, provoking one another, envying
one another. So we'll stop there today, because
I've ran out of time. So we'll stop there today, and
oh my, isn't it wonderful? Isn't this just wonderful? My,
it's so good, isn't it? It's so good. Brother Charlie,
would you mind closing us in prayer?
