is what true faith chooses, what
true faith chooses. Now we've come to the part in
Hebrews that speaks of Moses and the faith of Moses, the faith
by which he lived and acted. And this kind of faith is a gift
of God. No human can produce this kind
of faith that we've been looking at in Hebrews 11. Abraham left all not knowing
where he was going, he did that by faith. He offered up Isaac
by faith. Noah built an ark having never
seen a flood because God told him to and he believed God. THAT'S
FAITH. FAITH IS BELIEVING GOD. FAITH
IS TO BELIEVE THINGS UNSEEN BECAUSE GOD SAID IT. GOD SAID IT. YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE, I DO BELIEVE
WITH ALL MY HEART THAT THIS WORLD IS GOING TO BE DISSOLVED. THAT
GOD IS GOING TO DESTROY THIS WORLD. NOW WHY DO I BELIEVE THAT? BECAUSE GOD SAID IT. THAT'S WHY
I BELIEVE IT. I BELIEVE THERE'S GOING TO BE
A RESURRECTION. I BELIEVE MY BODY IS GOING TO BE RAISED FROM
THE DEAD NEW. I'M GOING TO HAVE A NEW BODY
AND I'M GOING TO DWELL ON A NEW EARTH. NOW WHY DO I BELIEVE THAT? GOD SAID IT. THE WORD OF GOD
IS THE FOUNDATION FOR EVERYTHING WE BELIEVE. If you're talking to a person,
I was talking to someone just the other day and I did not get
into the discussion because I KNEW I knew this person knew nothing
about the Word of God. It was going to be, well, this
is what I believe. Well, I don't care what you believe.
You don't care what I believe. What does God say? Now, if you
can't speak to someone on the basis of the Word of God, you
don't have anything to talk about because it's the foundation of
faith. It's the foundation of everything we believe. Now, I
want you to notice what Moses left by faith. He left this by
faith, and only the faith that God gives can do what Moses did. He left Egypt, the pleasures
of sin. That's not just sinful pleasures,
but he's talking about that lifestyle that he had, that very comfortable
lifestyle. In verse 24, By faith Moses,
when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's
daughter. Everything Moses did, he did
by faith. Moses lived by faith. Moses didn't
live by the law, Moses lived by faith because the scripture
says the just shall live by faith. From the first one that God saved
to the last one God saves, their whole life is one of faith and
believing God and looking to the Lord Jesus Christ. Even though
Moses was the lawgiver, he never lived by the law. He never claimed
salvation by the law he gave. He never claimed salvation by
the law he gave. Now this is very important in
the Apostle here writing to the Hebrews because many of them
was wanting to go back under the law of Moses. And he's telling
them Moses never even lived under that law. As far as salvation
goes, he never did. He lived by faith. He lived by
faith. Now when he was come to years,
40 years, we were told when he was 40 years old, it came into
his heart to visit his brethren. He was 40 years old and he knew
what he was doing. He knew what he was doing. He
was not talked into a profession like many are today, especially
among youth. It's so sad how they prey on
the youth. Get them while they're young.
Get them while they're young. It's a great blessing when God
saves one in their youth, but age is not a hindrance to God.
It's not a hindrance to God. God can save one in its youth,
or He can save one that's 90 years old, 100 years old. Age is not a barrier to God.
Nothing's impossible to God. It's just as easy for God to
save one as it is the other. We know this, we know that God
saves whom He will, and when He will, when He wills to save
someone, age doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Now God said
to Moses, listen, and Moses knew this. God said to Moses, when
Moses asked Him to show him His glory, He said this in Exodus
33, 19. And He said that as God said,
I will make all my goodness pass before thee. I want to see your
glory, and here's my glory, it's my goodness. It's my goodness. You know the mercy of God, the
grace of God flows to us from the goodness of God. From the
goodness of God. and I will proclaim the name
of the Lord before thee, and will be gracious to whom I will
be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy." Moses
understood the sovereign mercy of God. When he came to know
God, there's one thing he did come to understand, and everyone
whom God saves will come to understand this. God is sovereign in salvation. God sovereignly chose to save
me, to show mercy to me, to lift me out of the pit, to make me
an heir of glory, to make me a prince, and bring me into His
presence without spot or blemish and that's according to the sovereign
will of God I know that I know that the older I have gotten
the more the more I know that and the sweeter it is to me and
the more humbling it is to me that God would choose me that
God would love me that God would call me that his son would actually
die on a cross for me this really happened I I sit in my study
at times and I have to sit back and I think, THIS REALLY HAPPENED
FOR ME! That's astounding! THAT'S WHAT
MAKES GRACE AMAZING! That's what makes it amazing
that God saved a wretch like me, and you, and you. And now notice what Moses refused. He refused to be called the son
of Pharaoh's daughter. I thought about this. I thought
this was a trial for Moses. Moses was raised up in that house
by her. Moses loved her as his mother
for years, but when the Lord revealed Himself to Moses, and
Moses learned who his real family was, he refused to be identified
with her as his mother in Egypt as his people. God separated
him. God called him out. There's a
separation that'll happen. There is a dividing of the sheep
from the goats, the wheat from the tares. God does that. He
does that. He chose to be identified with
God's afflicted people. And when God made Himself known
to Moses, Moses REFUSED TO BE CALLED THE SON OF PHARAOH'S DAUGHTER.
Turn over to Matthew Chapter 10. You know, we live in such a time
when they just want everybody to get along. Everybody, let's
all just get along. We can all get together. We can
all, you know, you might believe a little different than I do,
but That s all right. Well, let s see. Let s see if
God says that s all right. What did I say? Matthew chapter
10, Matthew 10 and verses 34, 34
through 36, Think not that I am come to send peace on earth.
Really? The Lord said, I didn't come
to send peace on earth. I came not to send peace, but
a sword. For I am come to set a man at
variance against his father and the daughter against her mother
and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law and a man's
foe shall be they of his own household. Moses could not stay
in that house no longer. The Egyptians were not his people
no longer. You know, he's 40 years old,
he had a lot of friends. I guarantee you, especially being
second in line for the throne or next in line for the throne,
he had a lot of friends. He had a lot of respect. Moses
walked outside, people probably bowed. I'm sure they gave him
a lot of respect and then God made himself known to him. and
then they HATED HIM! THEY HATED HIM! And look here
in verse 25, here is FAITH'S CHOICE. CHOOSING RATHER TO SUFFER
AFFLICTION WITH THE PEOPLE OF GOD THAN TO ENJOY THE PLEASURES
OF SIN FOR A SEASON. THERE IS PLEASURE IN SIN! THERE IS PLEASURE IN SIN! THIS
FLESH ENJOYS SIN! But I think this also means here
not just sinful conduct, but it means the way of life, the
pleasures he had, the luxury, the lifestyle he had. This is what keeps most people
from following Christ. It's the COST. It's the COST. Turn over to Luke chapter 14. in Luke 14, look in verse 25,
25 through 33. And there went great
multitudes with him, and he turned, this is the LORD, they followed
the LORD. And the LORD turned, and He said to them, If any man
come to Me, and hate not his father and mother, wife and children,
brethren and sisters, yea his own life also this earthly life
also he cannot be my disciple and whosoever does not take or
doth not bear his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple
but which of you intending to build a tower here he's talking
about the cost of discipleship WHICH OF YOU INTENDING TO BUILD
A TOWER, SITTETH NOT DOWN FIRST, AND COUNTETH THE COST, WHETHER
HE HATH SUFFICIENT TO FINISH IT? LEST HAPPILY, AFTER HE HATH
LAID THE FOUNDATION, AND IS NOT ABLE TO FINISH IT, ALL THAT BEHOLD
IT BEGAN TO MOCK HIM, SAYING, THIS MAN BEGAN TO BUILD AND WAS
NOT ABLE TO FINISH. OR WHAT KING GOES TO WAR, TO
MAKE WAR AGAINST ANOTHER KING, HE SITS NOT DOWN FIRST, Consults
whether he's able to with 10,000 to meet him that cometh against
him with 20,000 You get you get the picture he's
saying you count the cost Our Lord is not begging people
to join up He's not it's not like the army
be all you can be see the world and next thing you know you get
in the military and most of them want out before they can their
times up and and they make it look so glorious. Our Lord does
not make following Him look glorious in this life. There's glory to
come, or there's a glory to be revealed that's unimaginable.
But in this life, He says it's going to cost you your life.
It's going to cost you your life. That's why most do not follow
the Lord Jesus Christ. The one this Bible presents is
too costly. And when the Lord called His
disciples to follow Him, they left all and they followed Christ,
didn't they? Peter said this in Mark 10, 28.
Peter began to say unto Him, Lo, we have left all and followed
Thee. We've left everything. They did. They did. You know, salvation
is free, but it will cost you your life. Christ is our life, isn't He?
I don't have a life without Him. Christ is my life. If He says,
John, go to North Carolina, Spring Lake, North Carolina, I'm going
to Spring Lake, North Carolina. Here I am. Here I am. It's not like, well, Lord, I'd
rather stay here. No, a servant does not pick his
place of service. ever the Lord picks his place
of service this choice that Moses made to
forsake the riches of Egypt was a willing choice it wasn't something
he dreaded or something he he's not he was not like Lot's wife
you remember it well what a statement remember Lot's wife And everybody
that knows the Scriptures knows what that means. She went out,
but she looked back. She went out, but her heart was
back there inside of her. Her body went out, but her heart
didn't. God turned her to a pillar of salt. No, no, He went out WILLINGLY.
Willingly. You know why He went out willingly?
Because it says in Psalm 110, Thy people shall be willing in
the day of thy power. THEY ARE WILLING TO BE SAVED
GOD'S WAY, THEY ARE WILLING TO FOLLOW CHRIST, THEY ARE WILLING
TO LEAVE ALL, THEY ARE WILLING! If this is the Lord's will, so be
it. And Moses looked at his life
in Egypt, and I have no doubt about this, he looked at his
life in Egypt, all its luxuries, all its pleasures, and he chose
to follow Christ and be identified with His redeemed people. HE LEFT THE BIG HOUSE FOR NO
HOUSE, HE LIVED IN A TENT THE REST OF HIS LIFE. HE LEFT THE
PALACE TO LIVE IN A TENT. I'D RATHER LIVE IN A TENT, SOMEONE
SAID THIS TO ME THE OTHER DAY AND I BELIEVE THIS PERSON, I'D
RATHER LIVE IN A SHACK AND KNOW CHRIST Now, I know that sounds like
a good religious statement, but I tell you what, those who mean
it know it. They know what they're saying.
I'd rather live in a shack and know Christ because this life
is almost over for all of us, even the youngest. It's very
short. Who said we're going to wake
up in the morning? Seriously, who guaranteed anybody in this
room that you're going to wake up in the morning here? We don't
have that. We don't have that. So Moses looked at Egypt and
all its luxuries, and I tell you what, the world can get a
hold of you now. It can get a strong hold of you.
All the pleasures and the riches of it, it can get a hold of you.
But when God made Himself known to Moses, He dropped Egypt. HE DROPPED HIS TITLE, HE DROPPED
EVERYTHING, AND WENT OVER AND WAS IDENTIFIED WITH THE REFLICTED
PEOPLE OF GOD, THE HATED PEOPLE OF GOD. AND HERE'S WHY HE DID
IT, HERE'S WHY HE DID THIS. FOR A DAY IN THY COURTS IS BETTER
THAN A THOUSAND, DAVID SAID, PSALM 8410. I HAD RATHER BE A
DOORKEEPER, THIS IS THE KING SPEAKING. I'D RATHER BE A DOORKEEPER
IN THE HOUSE OF MY GOD THAN TO DWELL IN THE TENTS OF WICKEDNESS,
AND HAVE ALL THE PLEASURE OF WICKEDNESS." Just let me be a doorkeeper,
be a doorkeeper. I think when Felix trembled before
Paul's preaching, no doubt he felt the POWER of that message. You know, I think no doubt there
are some who can feel the POWER of the message, but and yet not
be changed. They can hear it. Everybody in
here has a conscience. And when God sends that word
out of power, unless He sends it to your heart, you might tremble,
but you're still going to leave in unbelief, just like Felix
did. But I think one of the things
that Felix thought of, and it crossed his mind, was what it
was going to cost him follow Christ. Think about this, here's
the Apostle Paul in chains, he's in shackles, he's standing before
Felix and he's preaching to Felix this gospel message and Felix
is looking at him and he's thinking, now if I follow Christ that's
going to be me also, I'm going to be treated like
that also. I'm going to have to give up my position, I'm going
to have to give up my lifestyle, all that." And he couldn't do
it. He wishes he had now, but it's
too late. As Henry said, hell, it's truth
realized too late. He couldn't do it. If we never
see Christ, now listen to this, this is a good point. If we never
see Jesus Christ to be better than all the pleasures and treasures
of this world, we will never give it up and come to Christ,
savingly. We won't do it, not savingly. We won't leave all for Him if
we don't see Him to be better. If we don't see Him to be better,
Now look what Moses knew, when he made this choice, when he
chose to be identified with God s people, he says here, Choosing
rather to suffer affliction with the people of God. He KNEW he
would suffer the same affliction God s people suffer. He ought
to know, he was there for 40 years when they were in bondage. He saw their suffering. He saw
their suffering. And he knew he would not be spared
because he grew up in Pharaoh's house and he saw this. Look how Paul was treated by
the Pharisees. Paul said in Philippians 3, I
was a Pharisee of the Pharisees. He was somebody, he could pop
his suspenders. He was a Pharisee of the Pharisees.
Everybody looked up to him. He sat at the feet of Gamaliel,
one of the greatest teachers of that day. And when the Lord saved him,
he was the most hated man in Israel. Those Pharisees hated
him. Those who looked up to him hated
him. And Moses knew. He knew what
was coming. He knew what was coming. He willingly, knowingly, and
purposefully chose to suffer affliction that comes with being
identified with Christ and His people. You see, FAITH IS A DELIBERATE
ACT. FAITH, that's of God, is a deliberate act. You deliberately,
willingly, purposefully come to Christ. You cast all on Him. I am His and He is mine. And
everything I have is His, you know? And everything you have
is His. Your bank account is His. Your
house is His. Your children, my children, are
His. Everything is His. My grandchildren, all, they're
His! And you know what he's going
to do? As he will. He'll do just as he will with
them. And that's all right. That's all right. Because I know
he's going to do what's right. He's going to do what's wise.
He can make no mistakes. And we bow to him, don't we? We bow to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Job said, The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away. That's
easy to say when the sun's shining. But when God just took everything
from you, then say it. I saw, and I've said this before,
I saw real faith. It really hit me. This really
hit me. When the Lord took Henry's daughter,
Becky, And I saw him stand in the pulpit the next week and
glorify Christ as much as he always had. As he always had. And you saw it with Rupert here. The Lord giveth and the Lord
taketh away. Now that means something when
the Lord does that and you're able to say it. You're able to
do it. Mean it. Say it and mean it. CHRIST OR THE WORLD? We can't
have both. It cannot be both. It cannot
be both. James 4.4 YE ADULTERERS AND ADULTERESSES,
KNOW YE NOT THAT THE FRIENDSHIP OF THE WORLD IS ENMITY WITH GOD? WHOSOEVER THEREFORE WILL BE A
FRIEND OF THE WORLD IS THE ENEMY OF GOD. Matthew 6.24 NO MAN CAN SERVE
TWO MASTERS, FOR EITHER HE WILL HATE THE ONE AND LOVE THE OTHER,
OR ELSE HE WILL HOLD TO THE ONE AND DESPISE THE OTHER. YOU CANNOT
SERVE GOD AND MAMMON. YOU CAN'T DO BOTH. THE SCRIPTURE
IS SO CLEAR. IT'S SO CLEAR. AND THEN HE SAYS
HERE IN VERSE 26, ESTEEMING, VALUING the reproach of Christ. It's interesting that the writer
here of Hebrew, when he's speaking of Moses, he says he esteemed
the reproach of Christ, greater riches than the treasures
in Egypt, for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward.
Did Moses know the Lord Jesus Christ? Absolutely. Did Abraham? Christ said, Abraham
saw my day. He saw it and he was glad. He
saw it. He didn't know him by the name
Jesus as we know him. You know, we have the complete
Word of God, but I tell you how he did know him. He knew him
by the name Jehovah. He knew him by that name. yes he knew him so much so that
he counted the reproach of christ to be greater riches than all
the treasures of egypt and he was not ashamed to be identified
with the people of god you'd listen to paul writing
to timothy 2nd timothy 1 verse 8 and verse 12. Be not thou therefore
ashamed of the testimony of the gospel of our Lord, nor of me
his prisoner. Don't be ashamed of me, I might
be in prison but don't be ashamed of me because I'm in prison,
I'm in prison for Christ's sake. But be thou partaker of the afflictions
of the gospel according to the power of God. Don't back down, DON'T BACK DOWN FROM THE BATTLE,
DON'T BACK DOWN BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. STAND FIRM FOR THE GOSPEL. FOR THE WHICH CAUSE, in verse
12, FOR THE WHICH CAUSE I ALSO SUFFER THESE THINGS. NEVERTHELESS,
I'M NOT ASHAMED I'm not ashamed of Christ. I'm
not ashamed to confess Christ. You know, it's easy to do that
right here in this room, isn't it? Well, it's easy for me and
you to talk about Jesus Christ when we get here together. What
about when we get out there? Our shame don't show up here.
If it shows up, it's going to show up out there. Out there
in the world. Out there where we live. Out
there in the workplace. Out there in the community. That's
where it's going to show up. which cause I also suffer these
things nevertheless I'm not ashamed for I know whom I have believed
and am persuaded that he's able to keep that which I've committed
unto him against that day Romans 8 18 for I reckon Paul said that
the sufferings of this present time Moses knew the same thing
he reckoned the same thing I RECKON THAT THE SUFFERINGS OF THIS PRESENT
TIME ARE NOT WORTHY TO BE COMPARED WITH THE GLORY WHICH SHALL BE
REVEALED, NOW LISTEN, READ THIS LIKE IT IS, THAT SHALL BE REVEALED
IN US, NOT TO US, OH YEAH WE ARE GOING TO SEE SOME GLORY,
WE ARE GOING TO SEE SOME GLORIOUS THINGS, WE ARE GOING TO SEE A
GLORIOUS PERSON. he's talking about the glory that's going
to be in us as sons of God children of God a glory that can't be
put into words this glory is going to be in us not just something
we're going to look at 2 corinthians 4 17 for our light affliction
i don't think Right now, Paul Cadet, Florence, Gloria, but
I don't think Paul would say what he's going through is a
light affliction. Can't get out of bed, can't speak. I mean,
it's a very, very difficult situation. But when life is over, or Johnny
Tindall, there in the nursing home, doesn't know anybody. But in a little while, That'll
all be gone. And everything we've ever suffered
in this life, every heartache we've ever had will be but a
light affliction. Which is but for a moment. I've
learned this, I've learned this and I've said this to others
at times just going through a trial. There's an end. You know, when
I've had a hard day, you know one of the thoughts I always
have? There's an end to this day. There's an end to it. When I owned a business and I
worked long hours, a lot of times I worked long hours, I always
thought there's an end to this. I might work 18 hours, I may
work 20, 24 hours. One time I worked 32 hours straight,
but there was an end to it. It's just a moment. It's just
a moment. That's all it is. Our light affliction which is
but for a moment works for us a far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory." Moses knew that, God taught him
that. However, this world, especially
this religious world, hates the Christ we love and it hates the people of God.
Right now, I think right now we're seeing something go on. Satan is so subtle. He's so subtle. Jesus is becoming very popular,
but not the Jesus Christ of this Bible. You've got the perverted far
left. You've got the self-righteous
far right. You've got the Pharisees on one side. messed up on the left side. And
if Satan keeps that fight going, it keeps the gospel from being
preached. I'm talking about the Christ
of God. When He's preached, when He's
lifted up in His glory, when He is seated on the throne HE
IS PREACHED AS THE SOVEREIGN GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH. AS HE
SAID TO MOSES, I'LL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I'LL HAVE MERCY, AND
WHOM I WILL, I'LL HARDEN. I MEAN THE ONE WHO SAID, I DIDN'T
COME TO SEND PEACE, I CAME TO SEND A SWORD. THERE'S GONNA BE
DIVISION. THIS GOSPEL DIVIDES NOW, IT'S
DOGMATIC. IT'S DOGMATIC, IT DIVIDES. No, we cannot. We cannot just
join up with, I get stuff here in the mail to join some of these
other places, these other churches and there's things that are going
on. I just toss it in the trash. There's no, you can't do it. You can't do it. Because I can tell you, I tell
you who's going to be worst off for it, it's going to be us,
because here's what's going to happen, in order to get along
you've got to compromise, you've got to compromise the gospel. And that's what makes this gospel
so offensive, because it's so dogmatic, it's so narrow, straight
as a gate, it narrows the way. The wide, broad way, it accepts
everything, it accepts every religion, it doesn't matter,
come on! The road is wide and broad, but
the road that leads to glory is very straight and narrow.
Christ said, I'm the way and there is no other way. There
is no other way. Christ and Him crucified. By
faith He forsook Egypt. Verse 27, He forsook the pleasure
of sin, not fearing the wrath of the King, for He endured,
as seeing Him who is invisible. Not fearing the wrath of the
King. It just dawned on me today when
I was writing this. What's man's greatest fear? You know what man's greatest
fear is? Man. He fears the disapproval of his
peers. HE FEARS SOMEBODY'S GONNA BREAK
IN HIS HOUSE WHILE HE'S ASLEEP. MAN'S GREATEST FEAR IS MAN. You
know what the scripture says? The fear of man does what? BRINGS
A SNARE. BRINGS A SNARE. IT'LL MAKE YOU
ACT LIKE SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE. Remember when David
stood before that king and he was acting like a madman and
spit running down his face? And the king said, this is the
king of Israel? Really? How sad, the king of Israel acting
like a madman so he could try to save his life. And Moses here, it says that
he forsook Egypt not fearing the wrath of the king. Well this
is when he took Israel and went out because when he killed that
Egyptian, it says he feared. He said this is going to be known
and he took off. FAITH IN THIS LIFE IS NOT PERFECT
IN ANYBODY, IN ANYONE. BUT HIS ACTIONS PROVED HIS FAITH.
AS JAMES SAID, YEA, A MAN MAY SAY, Thou hast faith, and I have
works. For show me that thou hast faith, that thou hast works,
and I will show thee my faith by my works. TRUE SAVING FAITH
IS ACTIVE. IT WORKS, BUT IT'S NEVER SAVED
BY ITS WORKS. And we see how right fear of
God saves us from the wrong fear of man, if we have a right fear
of God. Moses did not fear the wrath of the king because he
feared God at that time. And in closing, he endured, now
listen, as seeing him who's invisible. This is, faith sees the invisible
one. There are many people who believe
in God. They believe there is a God. They say they believe
in God, but they don't believe God. There's loss as the day
they were born. But true Savior faith sees the
Eternal God. And it sees God's hand in everything. God's hand is in everything.
I really don't get too bent out of shape over anything that's
going on. GOD SAID JESUS CHRIST IS ON THE
THRONE! AND HE'S RULING AND REIGNING
THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH! And when I start to get a little
upset about things, I have to remember, THE LORD'S GOT IT UNDER CONTROL!
HE'S GONNA BRING THIS TO AN END! COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS! And
through faith he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of blood,
lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. HE KEPT THE
PASSOVER CONTINUALLY, CONTINUALLY. AND BY FAITH HE SHED THE BLOOD
OF THE LAMB AND HE APPLIED IT TO THE DOOR. WHY DID HE DO THAT?
BECAUSE GOD SAID TO. AND HE BELIEVED THAT IF HE DIDN'T
DO IT, GOD WOULD KILL EVERY ONE OF THEM, ALL THE FIRSTBORN OF
ISRAEL. HE BELIEVED THAT. HE BELIEVED
IT AND SO HE DID IT. AND HE KEPT THE PASSOVER All
that time, all those years that he was leading Israel, he kept
the Passover. And God said, when I see the
blood, I'll pass over you. He believed it. By faith, I believe
this, I believe by faith he saw salvation to be through the blood
of God's Lamb and not by works. Remember to whom this writer
is writing to, the Hebrews, who is wanting to go back under the
law of Moses. He said Moses wasn't saved by
the law he gave. By faith they passed through
the Red Sea as by dry land, which the Egyptians are saying to do. See, they didn't do it by faith. They just said, Let's go kill
them. By faith, Moses led them through
the Red Sea, and he did it with COURAGE. Israel was freaking
out, I know the people were, the people were about to fall
apart, but not Moses. He said, Stand still, see the
salvation of the Lord. FAITH CHOOSES CHRIST, TRUE GOD'S
GIVEN FAITH CHOOSES CHRIST OVER THE WORLD, OVER RICHES, OVER
PLEASURE, OVER ALL THINGS, OVER FAMILY. IT CHOOSES CHRIST. GIVE ME CHRIST OR ELSE I DIE. THAT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS
THAT MIKE BARTRAM SINGS, GIVE ME CHRIST OR ELSE I DIE. IF I HAVE CHRIST, NOW LISTEN,
EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT AND EVERY RELATIONSHIP WILL BE ALRIGHT. And all the relationships, I'll
put them in the right place. All right.
