Psalm 120, I titled this Psalm, Going Up to Worship God, Going
Up. You see the title of Psalm 120
says, A Song of Degrees. Someone said and called them
songs of the going up. Someone asked you where you're
going if you're coming here instead of saying going to church, which
I think most of you say going to the worship service, but instead
of saying going to church, I'm going up to worship God. Because that's what worship is.
It's ascending up to God spiritually. You know, physically, I'm bound
to this earth. I'm bound to this earth, but
spiritually I'm not. Are we not allowed to come to
the throne of grace? Well, where's the throne of grace? It's not
in Jerusalem. It's not over there in Israel. It's in heaven. That's
where it is. And I realized this as years
go by that I don't just live in this world, I live in another
world. I live in a world that's spiritual. You know, our minds
are to be set on what? Things above, not on things of
this earth. Our minds, that is our spiritual
mind, that new man, Paul speaks of being renewed in knowledge,
renewed in our minds. Our minds are to be set in heaven
where our Lord is seated at God's right hand. It's to be set on
Him. That's what it is. It's to be set on Him. Now there are 15, starting with
this one. There are 15 of these songs of
degrees. One builds on another. In my
distress, Psalm 120, Psalm 121, I will lift up mine eyes unto
the hills from which cometh my help. My help cometh from the
Lord, which made heaven and earth. I was glad, Psalm 122, I was
glad when they said to me, let us go to the house of the Lord.
123, unto thee lift up my eyes, O thou that dwellest in, you
see how they just, the songs, you know, singing is a part of
worship, what we just did. It's a part of worship. I was
thinking as I was sitting in my study a little while ago,
I was thinking one of the best ways to prepare for worship is
to turn everything off, turn TV off, turn radio off, and sing
psalms, sing a psalm to yourself. Nothing will prepare your heart
like praying that the Lord would give you a heart to worship.
And singing a psalm, to actually sing a psalm. They sang these
psalms. It is said that when the men
of Israel made their trek three times a year to observe three
feasts, they were required to do this. And they would leave
their home three times a year. These men would. They'd take
their, no doubt, take their sons with them. And their wives may
come along, but the men were required to. And as they left,
after they left their home, you know, they'd leave this home,
then one in the next county leave his, and next community leave
his, next state leave his, leave his home, so to speak. They would
leave their homes, and they were all ascending up to Jerusalem. Now I can get this picture in
my mind, this one leaves home, he's got his sons with him, and
another one over there, and another one, like I said, in another
state, and they're traveling, and they're all converging. And
all of a sudden, this huge, huge caravan has come together as
they approach Jerusalem, and they're singing these Psalms.
And one of the readings that I read, they said a priest would
meet them out there, and then he would lead them in the singing
as they would go toward the temple. And then it is also said that
the priest would go up singing these Psalms into the temple.
There were 15 steps. Now, I don't know how all this
was done, but this is some of the things I read, that there
was 15 steps going up to the temple. And on each step, they'd
sing a song. Another step, they'd sing a song.
And these were songs of worship. And they would go until they
went into the temple. So that's kind of the story behind
this. But you know, the scripture says
this, 1 Chronicles 16, 23, sing unto the Lord all the earth. God has a people over all the
earth. You know, there are some other people in other parts of
this country and even this world singing tonight, just as we are. We are to sing unto the Lord
all the earth and show forth from day to day His salvation.
You know, the church's motto is onward and upward. I was thinking
that this is the very attitude and experience of our Lord and
of His people as they ascend up to glory. You know, this is
a pilgrimage. You see, they would make that pilgrimage. They'd
leave their home, and they'd be, some of them, long ways away
from there. And it was a pilgrimage. This
is a pilgrimage. We're literally on a pilgrimage.
And as we ascend up to heaven, and we're on our, is that not
where we're going? Is that not the path we're on? As we ascend into the Lord. We
sing His praises and make His salvation known, and we grow
in grace and in knowledge of Him. That's what we do. Scripture says, set your affection
on things above, not on things on the earth. Our life should
be marked by growth in grace and in knowledge of Christ from
the time we believe until the time They bury our bodies and
put it in the ground. It should be a growth in grace
and in knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Listen to Paul,
and this is the attitude I want. This is the attitude I want you
to have. Brethren, Philippians 3.13, brethren,
I count not myself to have apprehended, but this one thing I do. FORGETTING
THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEHIND, AND REACHING FORWARD UNTO THOSE
THINGS WHICH ARE BEFORE. I PRESS TOWARD THE MARK FOR THE
PRIZE OF THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS. That's the
attitude of a believer. There. ALWAYS GROWING IN FAITH,
HOPE, AND LOVE. ALWAYS ASCENDING IN THESE. ALWAYS
GROWING IN THESE. Now it says here in verse 1,
called a song of degrees and he said in my distress I cried
unto the Lord and he heard me first of all our Lord knew distress
he knew he knew distress he didn't just know what it was he knew
it by experience he knew it in a way that you and I will never
know it I like what John Trapp said. He knew the full distress
of God's wrath. You and I just get the splinters
from the cross. He said, that's what we get.
We get the splinters. He had the full, he had the full load
of God's wrath. He bare God's wrath alone. He tread, the scripture says,
the winepress alone. He, look over in Mark, look over
in Mark, Mark 14. In Mark 14, let's read this,
to show how our Lord knew distress. In Mark 14, in verse 32, look, and they came to a place
which was named Gethsemane. And he saith to his disciples,
sit ye here while I shall pray. Now over in Matthew, he said
he took James and John, Peter with him, took those three with
him. And he taketh with him, well,
it says here too. And he taketh with him Peter, James, and John,
and began to be sore mazed and to be very heavy, heavy. it was a it was a heavy heavy
load for our lord to bear away our sins for him and i can't
even imagine this the holy one of israel being made to be sin
for us and he saith unto them my soul is exceeding sorrowful
unto death tell you here and watch and he went forward a little
fell on the ground He didn't get down on his knees. He fell
on the ground. He was so burdened. He was so
distressed. The load was so heavy, he just
fell over on the ground and prayed that if it were possible, the
hour might pass from him. And he said, Abba Father, Father,
Father, is what he's saying. All things are possible unto
thee, take away this cup from me. Nevertheless, not what I
will, but what thou wilt. And he cometh and findeth them
sleeping, and said to Peter, this is the one who said, I will
die for you. This is the one who said, they
all may forsake you, but not me. And he was asleep. And he said to Peter, Simon,
sleepest thou? Could you not watch one hour?
Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly
is ready, but the flesh is weak. And again, he went away and prayed
and spake the same words. He did this three times. Three
times. He knew distress. Can you not
see the distress in these scriptures here? Now, our Lord was distressed
over what he's about to endure, over being made sin. He's distressed,
he was in agony. And he knew the distress of rejection. He came into his own and his
own received him not. He came to the world and the
world didn't even know him. He was despised, he knew what
it was to be despised. You know, somebody can despise
me and it would hurt me. You know, I feel bad about it
and it would hurt me. He felt that immensely. He felt
that rejection and that being despised. I mean, he felt it. He knew what it was to be hated
without a cause. He knew what it was to be falsely
accused. He knew what it was to be betrayed
by Judas and denied by Peter. He knew this. In my distress,
and I'm a cause of his distress, Isaiah 63, 9, in all their afflictions,
he was afflicted. He was afflicted. But he was distressed that he
might be a faithful high priest to us. He says, we have not a
high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities.
He don't know what I'm talking about. He doesn't know what I'm
going through. You don't know. Yes, he does. Oh, yes, he does. You know, isn't it something
how your teenage kids think you don't know what they're going
through? You just don't know what I'm dealing with. Like,
I've been down that road and back. You know, our Lord knows
what we're dealing with. He was tempted in all points
of the world, yet without sin. He knew no sin. Then our Lord
was distressed by living in this God-hating world. Can you imagine? Can you imagine being holy, the
Holy One of Israel? One who knew no sin, the spotless
Lamb of God, walking in this dark, God-hating world. Everybody in this world, including
you and me, hated Him. At one time we did. We were enemies
of God in our minds by wicked works, the scripture says, every
one of us. Children of wrath by nature, even as others. When
He came into this world, not one person naturally loved Him. not one he was hated by every
person that's ever walked on this earth everyone he knew the
distress of living in a god-hating world he came to the world and
the world didn't want anything to do with him nothing look down
there in verse five and let me go back here look in verse five
woe is me that i sojourn in meshech and that i dwell in the tents
of qadar These represent the world is what they represent.
Meshech was north of Palestine and Qadar was south of it. Neither one of them was in the
Promised Land. They represent the world. Somebody said that
Meshech represented the barbarous people, the Gentiles. They were
the descendants of Japheth. But they became Gentiles, and
you know how Gentiles, you look over the history of Gentiles.
Pagan, paganism, just unbelievable. Worship anything but God. And then the other one, it was
just darkness, darkness. Kedar, you know, Kedar was the
descendants of, Kedar actually was the son of Ishmael, bondage,
people of bondage. He dwelt in a world that didn't
love him. How would you like to go somewhere where you knew
everybody there hated you? Everybody there. And the only
ones going to love you are the ones that you're going to enable
to love you, cause them to love you. You're going to have to
make them love you, because they're not naturally
going to do it. Distressed, he said, in my distress. But he did the best thing in
his distress. I cried unto the Lord. That's
the only time we cry unto the Lord. The only time we really
cry unto the Lord is when we are distressed. Rarely do we
cry unto the Lord when all is well. When we are in distress,
you know, you won't read the one Psalm. Every time the Lord
helped him, it was good. Everything was going fine. And
then they forgot the Lord and then they go back into trouble.
Then they call upon the Lord and he'd help them out of trouble.
Then they. He has to bring us into distress,
so we'll cry to him, we'll run to him. But I cried unto the Lord, our
Lord cried in prayers, our high priest as our mediator. He cried
for himself, he cried for us. I've read this to you a couple
times here lately. In Hebrews 5, 7, who in the days of his
flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with
strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him
from death, and was heard, that's what he says here, and he heard
me. And was heard in that he feared.
Listen to this, though he were a son, yet learned the obedience
by the things which he suffered in my distress in my distress
now let's look at how this applies to the us the body of christ
we just looked at the head now let's look at the body what's
the first character described concerning the believer you know
this psalm of degree starts out with distress When you first started, when
the Lord first started you on the path of righteousness, here's
a description of you and me, poor in spirit. Matthew 5, blessed
are the poor. That's how we start out. We start
out poor in spirit. We start out distressed. When
God saves sinners, they are distressed over their sins against God.
and over their lying tongue that he speaks of here later. You
know, at one time, every one of us had lying lips and a deceitful
tongue, didn't we? Every one of us. And God saved
us from that. He saved us from it. I asked myself this in the study,
and I ask you, Have you found your sins to be distressing? Have they ever really distressed
you? Your unbelief, does it distress you? Your lack of love for Christ,
more love to thee, oh Christ, more love to thee. That's distressing
to me, how cold I am when I consider what he did for me. He saved
me from the hell of God's wrath. And yet how cold I am. That's
distressing. It's distressing. But I have
learned this. God has to save us from the world
within us before we find the world without us, without stressful,
distressing. There's a world within me that
I gotta be safe from before I find this world distressing. At one
time, I found at a playground, the world was not distressing
to me. My sins were not distressing
to me. They were not. Living in this world, we find
it to be the same. Our Lord found it, woe is me. that I sojourn in Meshech, and
that I dwell in the tents of Gadar." Brethren, this is not
the promised land. This is not the promised land.
This is earth. This is an ungodly world we live in, and it's stressful. It's very stressful. Then there's
the distress that comes from being a part of the body of Christ.
You know, Paul wrote this in Colossians 124, who now rejoice
in my sufferings for you. Now, Paul rejoiced in his suffering
for Christ, and we do rejoice in our sufferings for Christ.
There's a rejoicing in that. But listen, who now rejoice in
my sufferings for you and fill up that which is behind of the
afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, the church,
which is the church. Paul says, there's a measure
of suffering that every member of the body of Christ is given
for Christ's sake. Now, we don't suffer the wrath
of God, but we suffer at the hands of men. You know, I worked at a place
once and a man just, man, he was, he was irritating the life
out of me. He put stuff in my lunchbox and
just, it was just irritating, just distressing to go to work,
to go to work all because of my relationship to Christ. Now,
at the time I was young, young and young in the faith, I didn't
really understand what Paul was saying here. Now I do. There's
a measure of suffering that the body of Christ was suffering
this work. If the head suffer, the body will suffer. We won't
suffer what he suffered. I mean, there's no comparison,
but we'll suffer. If the world hated me, he said,
it'll hate you. If the world loves you, there's a problem.
If the world enjoys your company, there's a problem. Now, we don't
go around trying to aggravate people so that they won't like
us, but all you got to do is just be honest. Just be honest
about the gospel, about truth. And they'll hate you. Listen
to this. This one, Paul says, therefore,
I take pleasure in infirmities and reproaches and necessities
and persecutions in distresses. Oh, he said, I take pleasure,
but they are distresses. They are distresses. For Christ's
sake, he said, I take pleasure. When I'm weak, then am I strong?
I have the power of Christ resting on me. And then he says here
in verse 2, Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and from
a deceitful tongue. You know, lying lips and the
deceitful tongue characterize the world. They characterize
the world. That's what it says over in Romans
chapter 3. Look over in Romans 3. Sometimes I need you to just
go over and look at these. In Romans 3, look in verse 10. As it is written, there is none
righteous, no, not one. That's very offensive to this
world. There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after
God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become
unprofitable. There is none that doeth good,
no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre, with their
tongues they have used to see. The poison of Asp is under their
lips, whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. Their
feet swift to shed blood, destruction and misery are in their ways,
and the way of peace have they not known. There's no fear of
God before their eyes, but the way of peace they haven't known.
You see the last verse, verse 7, it says that I am for peace,
but they are for war. They are for war. Our Lord, listen,
As our Lord traveled through this world as a man, as our mediator,
as our substitute, He always depended on His Heavenly Father
to deliver Him from lying lips and deceitful tongues. There's
nothing, I wrote down here when I was reading this, no weapon
formed that is more dangerous and more poisonous than the tongue. None. It's either lying on you or lying
to you. Even flattery, they'll slap you
on the back and tell you how much, what a good fellow they
think, how they think of you. You're a good person and blah,
blah, blah. Next thing you know, they're cutting your throat. Look over in James chapter three. I don't think we realize the
power of the tongue. James chapter 3, look at these
verses, starting with verse 1. My brethren, be not many masters,
knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. For
in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word,
the same is a perfect mature man, that's what he is, and able
to bridle the whole body. Behold, we put bits in the horses'
mouths that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole
body. Behold also the ships, which though they be so great
and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with
a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth, even so
the tongue is a little member. It's not the biggest member in
your body, it's just a small member. Hidden, it's a hidden
member too. Even so the tongue's a little
member and it boasteth great things. It might be little but
it sure can talk a big game. Behold how great a matter a little
fire kindleth. You see some of these big forest
fires out in California. They burn thousands upon thousands
upon thousands of acres. You know, some of them are just,
most of them are started with a match, just a little match. And they burn thousands and thousands
of acres, destroy them. And the tongue is a fire. A world
of iniquity. You realize that? You got a world
of iniquity in your mouth, and that's what God had to save us
from, that world of iniquity. It's in our hearts, and of course,
whatever's in the heart comes through the mouth sooner or later.
A tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. So is the tongue among
our members, that it defileth the whole body. You know, you
could let somebody start a rumor in here, just start a rumor,
and you could mess this whole congregation up. You could just
tear it up just by a rumor. Tongue is a fire, world of iniquity.
So is the tongue among our members that it defiled the whole body
and set it on fire. The course, the wheel over in
the margin says, the wheel of nature. It sets on course on fire the course of nature
and is set on fire of hell. For every kind of beast and of
birds and of serpents and of things in the sea is tamed and
hath been tamed of mankind but the tongue. Don't you wish you
could shut your mouth? How many times, how many times
have you said, and I said, I wish I hadn't said that. But the sad
thing is, once said, always said. You can't take it back. It's
like shooting a bullet from a gun. Once it's gone, it's gone. I heard Henry saying in a tape,
in a message last week, someone said to him, well, I didn't mean
it that way. Well, Henry said, well, then say it the way you
mean. In other words, think about what
you're about to say. Instead of spouting off. I try
to think about it. I try. I try to think before
I let it get out the gate. But the tongue can no man tame.
It's an unruly evil. All you gotta do is make somebody
mad and you find out. Just upset somebody. Take the best person
you know and upset them. And you'll find out that tongue
can be an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless
we God, and boy, this is powerful here. Therewith bless we God,
we sing the songs that we sang a little bit ago, sing the songs
of praise. We bless we God, even the Father,
and therewith curse we men, which are made after the likeness,
similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed
blessing and cursing. My brother, these things can't
be. These things ought not to be. He said, you can't use your
mouth and stand here and sing praises and go out there and
cuss somebody out. He said, it doesn't work like
that. It don't work like that. The tongue, oh, how powerful
it is. Powerful, powerful. But there's
one thing we do have this promise. that after the Lord has saved
us from our own tongue, our own lying lips, and our own deceitful
tongue, he says in Isaiah 54, 17, no weapon that is formed
against thee shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise
against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. Thou shalt condemn. This is the
heritage of the servants of the Lord, and the righteousness is
of me, saith the Lord. I'm thinking of a Psalm, thinking
of in Proverbs, Solomon said, I'm gonna paraphrase this. Solomon
said, don't be offended. Don't be offended over everything
you hear someone say about you. He said, because you know yourself,
you said the same things about others. Somebody say something
about you that makes you mad, well, stop and think. You have
said the same thing about somebody else. Someone said, don't take
offense over that. You're not any better. He said,
you're just like them. That's what grace does. Grace
will enable you to shut your mouth, enable you to shut your
mouth, because you know that you're not any different than
that person, except by the grace of God. Grace is what makes the
difference. It is. Now what shall be given
unto thee, verse three, what shall be given unto thee, or
what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? What shall
be done? What benefit is a lying tongue
to him that has it? None, none. Well, I looked up scriptures
today on this tongue, and I mean it, the scriptures is full of
verses about the tongue. There's no benefit. Here's what's
going to be done to that lying tongue, is this, God's going
to cast it into hell. You know one of the seven things
that God said he hates? You know what one of those seven
things are? A lying tongue. A lying tongue. I hate it. God
said I hate it. God hates the lying tongue and
he's going to cast it into hell. And here in verse four, he gives
the judgment. Whoa, sharp arrows of the mighty
with coals of juniper, that's what's gonna happen. Judgment's
gonna come on you. Judgment's gonna be brought down
on that lying lips and deceitful tongue because you know what
that reveals? The heart. Out of the heart, out of the
abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. It's a revelation of
the heart, the condition of a man or a woman. Here's the punishment
of this lying tongue. And I thank God, I thank God that the Lord Jesus
Christ, He, He took the arrows. He took those arrows of God Almighty. He stood in my place. He took
the sword of justice. and deliver me and you who believe
and all his children from this judgment against who we are. Bunch of liars. Let God be true
in what? Every man a liar. And God saved
us from that. Our Lord saved us from that.
He did. I said one time to my partner
in business, I was complaining, about the men not wanting to
work on the weekend. None of them wanted to work.
They wanted to go home. And I was complaining about them not wanting
to work. And I was talking about him saying some things about
being lazy. And he said, and you're not? And you're not? And I said, I
understand. I understand. If the situation
was flipped, I would want to go home on the weekend. See, I owned the business and
I had to get the job done. But they had already worked overtime
and they just wanted to go home. We're just like that. The Lord
has saved us from our sins, the very sins that he's cast other
people into hell for. Think about that. The very sins
he has cast people into hell for, he saved us from. Why, Grace? Grace. The only reason that God
saved me is found in God. It's not found in me. It's found
in God. He loved me with an everlasting
love. Every one of us who believe will stand there and realize
we had nothing to do with it. Nothing. He did it. He did it all. And look at verse 6, we'll go
down to verse 6. It says in verse 5, Woe is me that I sojourn in
Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Gadar. We live in a wicked
world. We live in a world of darkness. We live in a stressful
world, a distressing world. Don't you find the times right
now we are living in distressing? Don't you find them stressful? I'm not stressed out in my mind,
but I find them to be distressful. When wickedness seems to be reigning,
it's distressful. There's a part of it that you
just come quickly, Lord Jesus. I said that to someone just the
other day. I said, it would just thrill
me to death if the Lord would come back and put an end to all
this right now, right now. Wouldn't you? To usher in everlasting
righteousness? To be in a world where there's
no sin, no sorrow, no tears, no, it's just righteousness.
You're not afraid of, you don't have to lock your doors. That world's coming. This world
is distressful. Being in a dark world, a world
that hates God, that hates the gospel, It's distressful in that sense.
My soul, in verse six, my soul hath long dwelt with him that
continually hateth peace. Our Lord lived on this earth
in the flesh for 33 years. He lived among a people that
hated peace, that hated him. He didn't try to start a war.
He didn't try to split the government. He didn't try to do any of that.
He came into this world and spoke the truth. Grace and truth, what? Came by Jesus Christ. He didn't
come into this world to start wars. That's what men do. He's the Prince of Peace. But
he lived among a people that hated peace, especially, now
listen, peace with God. If this whole earth, if everybody
on it had the peace of God through the Lord Jesus Christ, we'd never
have another war. We wouldn't have another war. All you have to do is look over
history, It's a history of war, isn't it? Concerning man. And you know, you know that the
only reason that we are not at war on our own land by some that
would come over here and do it right now is because God hasn't
let it. That's the only reason. It's
really, it's not because Russia or China is afraid of us. It's
because God has not let it happen yet. He's not let it happen yet. He's the one who keeps them at
bay. The heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord. Like
rivers of water, he turneth it with us wherever he will. All you have to do is look at
history, and all it is, war, Rumors of war, it's just the
history of man. It's just nothing but killing.
I mean, it just amazes me. Here we are in 2024, and they're
still killing each other. All you gotta do is look at history
and find out that didn't change anything. It didn't help him.
That's just who we are by nature. But man's real war is against
God. It's against God. Satan's war
is against God. It's against the body of Christ. You and I realize this. I know
we realize it. But Satan is a very real person. He's the prince of this world,
the darkness. And he will do anything he can to destroy God's
people. He's under the thumb of Christ. He can't do it until the Lord
lets him do what he does, unless he allows him to. But the real
war is against God. When the gospel of peace is preached,
the natural man hates it. He hates it. I tell you what,
I mean this is, I'm not one to cause fear. I tell you,
if the Lord lets it keep going like it is, the church is going
to, she's going to feel some real suffering again. You can see it coming. I can
see, I can see it coming. He said in verse seven, I am
for peace, but when I speak, they are for
war. Crucify him, crucify him. The gospel he preached and the
gospel we preach, that he's given us to preach, it's the gospel
of peace, isn't it? It's the gospel of peace, given
to us by the Prince of Peace. That's his name, the Prince of
Peace. But he says, when I speak of
peace, when I am for peace, They are for war. They are for war. The unregenerate
are for war. War against Christ, war against
His church. I'm telling you, in that unseen
world that we can't see, that spiritual world, that spiritual
world of darkness, is against the church. It's against us. It's for war. Revelation 12,
7. And there was war in heaven.
Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon
fought in his angels. It's a spiritual warfare going
on. That's what's going on. But God's children, like their
Lord, they're for peace. They are a peaceful people. They
are. Paul wrote in Romans 12, 18,
And this is why I'm saying the gospel promotes peace. If it
be possible, without compromising the gospel, without compromising
the truth, if it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live
peaceably with all men. If it be possible, without compromising
the gospel. Hebrews 12, 14. Follow peace
with all men and holiness WITHOUT WHICH NO MAN SHALL SEE THE LORD."
FOLLOW PEACE. FOLLOW THAT WHICH MAKES FOR PEACE. BUT THE GOSPEL WE PREACH, WHEN
IT'S PREACHED, THEY ARE FOR WAR. THEY ARE AGAINST GOD.
