All right, brethren, Psalm 53.
I was thinking, I'll try to find
that article for you. Brother Henry wrote one time, all these
conferences going on, and I was thinking, there's just so much
dessert, and we like conferences, and we like TV messages, and
we like those things, don't we? I like carrot cake. I like sweet
things. I like dessert. Well, Brother
Henry said, there's time we need meat. And there's time we need
milk, but a little bit of salad, a little bit of dessert does
us well, too. And then go through and read
like Hosea. Them first three chapters are
so sweet. Oh, it's precious. And there's about nine chapters
of them. destruction of mourning and carnage and everything else.
And at the end, he's talking to the backslide. I'll keep. Well, I just want to look at
verse one of Psalm 53 today, but this is very similar to Psalm
14. And someday I pray we'll look
at these side by side. There's just some small differences
and we'll be able to see what they mean and see our King in
these. Why it's recorded twice. But
for today, I just want to look at Psalm 53 and just the first
verse. If it was word for word the exact
same as Psalm 14, the Lord just said something twice. Wouldn't
it? If he said it once, it's worthy
of our attention. It's worthy of our obedience
to bow to, submit to. But if he says something twice,
we really ought to give our attention to it. We really ought to. Psalm
53 verse one says, the fool hath said in his heart, there is no
God. Corrupt are they, and have done
abominable iniquity. There is none that doeth good.
Who are the fools David's writing about? Who are the fools that
the Lord has moved David's hand to write about? This is not speaking
of people with a low IQ, of a low intellect, or this is not speaking
of people with simple minds. that the Lord's given them. He
just says that in Psalm 116, the Lord preserveth the simple.
It's a good indication for us, isn't it? Something we ought
to learn from. This is talking about morality. This isn't about
intellect. It's about what's on the inside
of people, because it says the wicked, the wicked, those opposing
the Lord, those opposing his gospel, those opposing his people,
those opposing his word. I know a lot of people, practically,
carnally, that are fools. You probably know some too, don't
you? One or two, maybe. They might be smart. They might
be strong and mighty. They may be respected in the
community. But I thought some category, business-wise, financial-wise,
I know some people that are fools. They are. You're smart and strong
and a grown-up and you tie young shoes. What was you thinking? I've heard people before say,
you know what, we made this much money. I say, no, you got paid
that much money. You have overhead, too. Oh, we're going to make
this much money. Let's go buy new trucks and houses
and boats. Hold on now. Don't catch the
chickens before the eggs hatch. That's foolish, isn't it? And
parenting. I've seen some foolish parents.
We just love them too much to make them mine. I couldn't bring
myself to do that. You love yourself too much. The
Lord says things plainly. I recommend doing what He says.
That's the right way. Well, I could never do that.
They're raising heathens. They're making fools like themselves,
ain't they? That's what they're doing. Foolish things. People
say, that's how we did it. Well, how'd that work out for
you? Didn't work out good, did it? Do what the Lord says. I've
seen fools that are married. You all have too. A man's got
a good woman. She keeps the house as the Lord
commands. She raises the children, teaches them to respect their
father. I respect my father. You all know that. I talk about
him a lot. He died when I was 18. The Lord took him home. Do
you know why I respect my father so much and think so highly of
him? My mom told me to. You think about that? She told
me to. And I did. He had a good woman,
didn't he? They're taught to respect their
fathers. A man's got a good wife, and she keeps the house, and
she raises good children, and respects her father, teaches them in the
word, and then he leaves her, runs off on her. He's a fool.
Or vice versa. Woman's got a good man, kind
to her, protects her, provides for her. She don't respect him,
don't have nothing to do with him, and treats him like garbage.
She's a fool. We know fools in these ways. This is speaking
about those that have been bewitched. left to themselves. That's what
Paul wrote to the church at Galatia, wasn't it? He said, I marvel
that you're so soon removed from him that called you into the
grace of Christ unto another gospel. And he said, it ain't
another. It ain't just one mass close. We'll just eat on the
good parts. That's called death and damnation. How much poison
is okay for you to drink? Why you go juggling poison? Leave
it alone. Mark it and leave him alone,
didn't he? He said in Galatians 3, oh foolish Galatians. They're
acting like fools, wasn't they? Who if bewitched you that you
should not obey the truth before whose eyes Jesus Christ had been
evidently set forth, crucified among you. We came preaching
this gospel. We told you plainly what's wrong
with you. Acting like fools. Where does that take place? Does
that take place outwardly? Well, carnally, I'd look at those
fools, didn't I? That's dumb, how would you do
it? This ain't what it's talking about. This is morally, right?
This is internally. It says, Psalm 53 verse 1, the
fool hath said in his heart, in his heart, not out loud. It
really would be foolish when somebody walking up down the
street, there's no God. I won't stand next to you. Common
people know that, but you ought not say that out loud. I know
us generations just deteriorating faster than the clock ticks.
But even in this day and age, some people have a little bit
of sense. Notice that. This happens in the heart. Happens
in the heart. That's what Paul said in Romans
10. He said, from the heart a man believeth unto righteousness.
Where we get that heart? It's a new heart given to us,
isn't it? And with the mouth, confessions made unto salvation.
But the fool said in his heart. Fool said in his heart. That
leaves two ways, doesn't it? Two types of people. Fools and
wise. Fools and wise. That's where both prayers came
from, those public and affairs. Let's turn and look at that.
Luke 18. Both of those men spoke from what was inside of them,
plainly. They said the truth. One was a fool and one was wise. Here in Luke 18 verse 9. Speaking of our Lord, He spake
a parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they
were righteous and despised others. If I'm doing what's right and
I don't like what you're doing is wrong, that's me trusting
I've done right. I am righteous. and I'm despising
others. Our text back to Psalms 53 says
they've done abominable iniquity and Psalm 14, that twin Psalm,
it says they are corrupt, they've done abominable works. That's
all the good things they thought they were doing. God says it's
a stench to my nose, get away from me. It's all bad. But he spake a certain parable
to them, trusting themselves that they were righteous, and
they despised others. So he gave them a parable. Verse
10. Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee
and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed
thus with himself. He said in his heart, God, I
thank thee that I'm not as other men are. They're bad, extortioners,
unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican, this horrible
fellow over here, he didn't even come inside yet. He's so dirty,
he has to sit outside. I ain't like him. I fast twice
in the week. I give tithes of all that I possess.
That's what was in him. It sounded good, didn't it? Hey,
thank God. So I thank you. I ain't like
everybody else. Gave him a little bit of credit,
didn't he? Then he said, I, I, I, I, but he prayed with himself.
And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much lift up
as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast. What's
in your breast? That's your heart. Smote on his
breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. You get tired
of reading that. You got memorized, you don't
have to look at it no more. I tell you, this man went down to his
house justified rather than the other. For everyone that exalteth
himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself shall
be exalted. One was a fool, and one was wise. What's the difference in the
foolish heart and the wise heart? Both saying some things to God,
right? Looks good and sounds good on the outside. A heart
for the Lord is required. He looks on the heart. It has
to be committed to him, adoring him, honoring him in all things,
desire him in love with him. And love with him. That's what
he requires, and that's what he gives. How do I know? Turn over Jeremiah. Jeremiah
17. Isaiah, Jeremiah, lamentation,
Jeremiah 17. We can't make our hearts love
anything. You can't make yourself like broccoli if you don't like
broccoli. And thanks be to God, if he puts a heart in us that
loves, you can't make it stop. Jeremiah 17, verse nine. The
heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked,
who can know it? I, the Lord, search the heart.
I try the reins, even to give every man according to his way
and according to the fruit of his doing. According to that
heart that I'm looking at inside of you that nobody else has seen.
You ain't got to say it out loud. It's in you. That's the judge of heaven
and earth looks at. Terrifying. If you say I'm good,
you ain't good. I did something a long time ago.
I punched that card. I'm all right. No, you ain't.
God looks on the heart all by himself. Have you ever been fooled
by a wicked heart? I have. I thought I was doing
great. It was lying to me and I believed
every lie, didn't I? How am I going to get a new heart? Am I going
to just muster up and grow some new cells inside of me? Get some
stem cells? No! Turn over Jeremiah 24, sweet
precious to you. Jeremiah 24. Verse four. Again the word of the Lord came
unto me, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, the Lord, the God of
Israel, Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that
are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this
place into the land of the Chaldeans, for their good. For I will set
my eyes upon them for good. I will bring them again into
this land. I will build them up. and not pull them down. I
will plant them and not pluck them up. Who you think does the
work? It's called salvation. He does. And my people, I will
give them an heart to know me, to love me, that I'm the Lord,
and they shall be my people, and I'll be their God, for they
shall return unto me with their whole heart. not half-hearted. He ain't the biggest part of
a Christian's life, of a saved sinner. Somebody saved by grace?
He ain't the biggest part of my life. He's my life. If he's
put that heart in me, he gave me the heart. I needed one. That
one I had was full of me and lying to me and foolish. It was
full of me and I was a fool to listen to it. He gave me a new
one and that heart he gives, it ain't half-hearted. The whole
heart comes to him because it's his. Who did it? I will. He did it. He did it. When he comes in from his Zion,
the Savior of Israel, Jacob rejoices, doesn't he? Israel rejoices.
We're glad. We're glad. What is the means
the Lord will use to accomplish this? Man's a fool. I was a fool. And the Lord gave me a new heart.
What's the means he uses to do, this is necessary, do you think
it's necessary? It's eternal life and death necessary, isn't
it? If I were in need of medicine, if I needed medicine, I wanna
learn about the doctor, I wanna learn about the pharmacist, I
wanna know where the pharmacy is, right? I need it, I need
it. What if you were in need of food? I wanna know the hours the restaurant's
open. I want to know something about who's cooking there. What
kind of food do they have? Physical food we worry about,
isn't it? I like a place to give out unlimited salad and breadsticks.
You'll find me there. I know that. I've learned it
because I've ate it. Turn over to 1 Corinthians 1.
And you can leave a marker there in 1 Corinthians. I'll make some
comments and come back to it. 1 Corinthians 1. Where and how, by what means
is the Lord going to put this new heart in his people? Because
we're fools in our own hearts, in our own eyes, by ourselves. 1 Corinthians 1 verse 18. For the preaching of the cross
is to them that perish, foolishness. But unto us which are saved,
it's the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy
the wisdom of the wise, I will bring to nothing the understanding
of the prudent. Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where
is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the
wisdom of this world? For after that, in the wisdom
of God, the world by wisdom knew not God. It pleased God by the
foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. A guy's gonna
stand up on his hind two legs, read the word of God, give the
sense of the text, and then in the miracle that he declared
the preaching of the gospel was, he's gonna work in his people
and put a heart in them. In spite of this worthless, broken, earthen
vessel that's standing. Verse 22, for the Jew requires
a sign. You need to show me some proof. And the Greek seeks after
wisdom. Is this the most efficient way
we could be doing this? What's the best way we could
be doing it? Well, you know what? We could get a satellite. And I'll
tell you what we could do. We could run ads, and we can get us a billboard,
and we can start doing this. And that'd be fine. Let's do
those things. We ought to buy a satellite. It puts us all over
the world. But it's not a system, is it?
but we preach Christ crucified. Unto the Jews, a stumbling block,
and unto the Greeks, foolishness. But unto them which are called,
both Jew and Greek, Christ, the power of God, the wisdom of God. These are wisdom. These are wisdom. Everything the old heart says
yes to, the new heart says no to. And vice versa, too. Everything that new heart says,
that's good. Ah, yes, yes, Lord. That old nature says no. It's
almost like there's a war going on inside of what it is. That old heart directs the tenor
of a person's life. And that new heart does too.
When the Lord puts a new heart in spite, we ain't foolish no
more because Christ is our wisdom. And that affects your decision
making and that affects how you write your budget for the time.
It affects everything, doesn't it? Everything. I used to tell
my mom, I'd stop by and eat and have to leave and always had
something important to do. And I'd say, I hate to eat and run.
And she'd say, if you hate it that bad, you wouldn't do it. I just wish I had time to worship
God. You would. That's all there is to it. You would. If that's the heart
he put in, you would. For as he thinketh in his heart,
so is he." That's what Solomon wrote. You want to do that? You will. You will. The fool hath said in his heart,
there is no God. There is no God. We learned a
little bit about the fool, learned a little bit about the heart,
old and new, but what does it say? In our text it says there
is no God. There is in italics. It means
the translators added that to help us understand stuff. So
when you see italics, read it with the italics, then maybe
go back and read it without it. Sometimes we need the italics,
because there's a translation. Other times you can do without
it. Leave the italics in for a minute. A fool. Though more often they're very
well educated. They say there is no God. So
many times, it seems like the more education you get, the further
from these things you go. And I am not against higher education. What was that woman, the prophetess
for Josiah? She was at the college. I'm not
against higher education, but that will not be what brings
you to true wisdom. If there's ever a young person,
a young man, and the Lord's raising them up to be a preacher, and
you got a GI Bill or whatever, you got free education, don't
go to seminary. It ain't gonna do you no good
or do you harm. You find you a faithful gospel preacher and
get in his hip pocket. That's good advice. I'm afraid
the Lord would make somebody heed that, but stay away from
that stuff. It ain't gonna do you no good. But it's easy whenever
these things, a fool, educated, uneducated, whatever, there is
no God. You're lying. You know better, don't you? You
know better. Man knows better. Creation proves
it. That's plain. To think that somebody
just blindly closes their eyes on a daily basis and spins that
dial on every chemical reaction that's ever occurred at all times
ever, and it just happens to get us to here, that takes more
faith than saying that God did everything. That's ridiculous.
But it's easy to preach against atheists, isn't it? That's low-hanging
fruit. The sheep say, that's right.
God says that, it's right. Goats say that it's right, too.
But a sheep will know that it's God that keeps me from willfully
denying him. A goat just says, that's wrong
or right. You're a fool. I ain't. I got it right. I'm
looking down my nose at you. But surely, people ought to know
there's a God. What did James say? Thou believest
that there's one God? You do well. The devils also
believe and tremble. They knew those things and they
tremble too. These people ain't even trembling. I know the notes
that need to be said. You children, young people, you
go to school and you have to learn about evolution. Learn
it, pass the test, get the right answer and move on. You hear
me? When I was in college, I wrote
a 10-page paper on vampires. Let me tell you something, in
case there's confusion. I don't believe in vampires,
okay? Just pass the test and go on.
Don't argue with a fool. Those that are foolish, they'll
bring you down to their level and they'll beat you with experience,
an old friend told me. That's so. You don't argue the gospel. You don't debate the gospel.
You declare it. You declare it. God says it. Why don't believe it? Okay. You
will. Hold your breath. To believe
there's no God is to believe that everything in this book
is false. To believe that there's no God is to believe that this
whole world ran on random chances and random chemical reactions,
and that mankind is completely self-regulated, and that mankind
is completely self-restrained. There's no salvation, there's
no eternity, and we're all just a bunch of wild animals. That's
a frightening place to live. That's a frightening place to
live. For you bigger children, take
the italics out. You young children, too. The
fool hath said in his heart, no God. No. No God, no God for me. I'm just
fine. That's one way of looking at
it. Don't look at it several ways. That's a common response, isn't it?
You invite somebody to come to services. Why don't you come
church with me? Come church with me. I'm fine.
I'm good. Thanks, though. Thanks. I appreciate
it. I'm okay. What are they saying? No God
for me. No God for me. You still in 1 Corinthians 1?
Look at verse 26. For you see your calling, brethren,
how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not
many noble are called." Well, Queen Victoria said, I'm thankful
for the word or the letter M. She said, not any noble, not
many. God hath chosen the foolish things
of the world. That's what we were. I remember
being five years old and tempting God. I was a fool. That's where
he found me. And then I grew up and I had
grave clothes all over me, being a fool. God had chosen the foolish
things of this world to confound the wise. God had chosen the
weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.
The base things of the world and the things which are despised
have God chosen, yea, and the things which are not, they're
nothing, to bring to nothing the things that are. That no
flesh should glory in his presence. but of him are ye in Christ Jesus,
who of God has made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification
and redemption, that according as it is written, he that glorieth,
let him glory in the Lord in all things. No matter, he's going
to get the glory. You ain't. Man ain't. A fool
says they have their own wisdom, not that Christ is their wisdom.
Paul was telling those Romans, about how the creation of God,
just in regular creation, just in this world, it declares God's
might, but the foolish heart was darkened, he said. He says,
they're professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
and they changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an
image made like unto a corruptible man, they put it in their terms,
and to birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things, and
whereof God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lust
of their own hearts. That was the heart that was in
him. Lord hardened hearts. Some of y'all may not have heard
this before, or you didn't hear it the first time. You ever see a concrete
truck? You're in construction. What's
a concrete truck doing? Spinning. Why is it spinning? Because the
nature of concrete, when you stop working in it, you leave
it alone, it hardens. That's a foolish heart that we
were born with. Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart. By what? Stopped
spinning him. He gave them over to themselves.
A fool puts trust in their own righteousness. Paul says they're
being ignorant, they're foolish of God's righteousness, and they
go about themselves to establish their own righteousness. They've
not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God. If you're
trying to clean up your own cup and drink your own cup, you ain't
submitted to his cup. A fool tries and trusts to sanctify
themselves. For by one offering he hath perfected
forever them that are sanctified." Those that are set apart are
his using. Those that are made holy because they're his. He's
done that. A fool's gonna go about trying
to do it themselves. A fool thinks they can redeem themselves. You
take a child to the store and you teach them to redeem things.
You teach them how to buy stuff. You say, here's money. Here's
the total. And then you hand the money to the person. Maybe
start teaching them math. Teach them how to do that. They're
doing that. Teach them how to buy things. They're the ones buying it. That's
not what he's talking about. Peter said, for as much as you
know, you were not redeemed with corruptible things of silver
and gold from your vain conversations received by the traditions of
your fathers. That's a good example. That's
how we always did it. You may want to see how the Lord says
it. But with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without
blemish and without spot. No God for me. A fool said that. No wisdom for me, I'm smart.
No righteousness for me, I can do something good. No sanctification
for me, I can clean up myself, I can make myself more holy.
God says that's a fool. Finally, in Providence, the fool
hath said in his heart, oh God. You ever been foolish? Oh Lord,
no. I'll let this happen. He's done
it. I need to bring some message
on sovereignty, God. All things are of him. All things are by
him and for him and through him. He does it all, all, all. That's a sovereign God on his
throne. It's for his glory and it's for our good. All things. I wish I could remember that
every time something happened. You drop a cup. I can't hold
on to cups anymore. I consciously think, squeeze
that. I broke several coffee cups. I was like, oh no. Lord
wanted that cup broke. I don't go purposefully throwing
cups on the ground. That's his doing. He's done it all. Everything. He's a sovereign God over everything.
I was 16 years old. I started telling my buddies. You know the difference between
straight fries and curly fries? Does that have an eternal consequence to
it? Straight fries and curly fries. Who cares? Go through
drive-thru, get you something. Well, if it's a curly fry, you
want some curly fries. And it got hung on the side of that
cup, and that little fella had to shake that thing to get that
fry to go in that cup. Hands it to you. And then you pull
out, and then a tractor-trailer runs red light and kills you.
Well, God's plans out the window. That's ridiculous. Lord ain't
gonna be defeated by a curly fry. He's on his throne. He controls
all things and he rules all things. A double L, remember that. Oh,
I need to remember it too. We're here of natural disasters.
tsunamis as it floods over. I'm thankful for our engineering
and our codes in this country. They have a tiny earthquake in
another country kills thousands of people. Thank you, Lord, for
building codes. But it wipes out 25,000 people.
Oh, no, it's terrible. Dams breaking there in northern
Africa, wiping people out in the ocean. Oh, that's terrible.
Fires come. That God sent. Shake me, it needs to be said,
this word. He did it. He did it. Crime. Oh, there's
crime everywhere. Massive death tolls. Cancer diagnosis. That's a common one, isn't it?
They got cancer. Oh, no. I'll say good. God did it good. Amos 3, 6 says, shall a trumpet
be blown in the city and the people not be afraid? Shall there
be evil in a city and the Lord hath not done it? This is the Lord's doing. This
is the Lord's doing. He's orchestrated this. Oh, Jonathan
Edwards, somebody had asked him about that verse. He said, I
said, is the Lord the author of sin? He said, if by the author
of sin, you mean he's the sinner, the agent, the actor of sin,
or the doer of a wicked thing, it would be a reproach and blasphemy
to suppose God be the author of sin. In this sense, I utterly
deny God to be the author of sin. He went on to say, but if
he's the permenter, of sin and at the same time a disposer of
the state of events in such a manner. He controls all this in such
a manner for a wise, holy, most excellent end and purpose that
that sin, if it be permitted for the benefit of his people
and for his glory, he said, I will most certainly and infallibly
follow him. He's done it. This ain't just a, all my, this
is a holy sovereign God on his throne, the judge of all the
earth. He shall do right. He shall do right. I've said
that before, Kimberly, with some physical things. I want people
to say, that's, that's horrible. That's too bad. I hate that that
happened. God did it. We're too young. No, you ain't. Lord did that. It's right. No, we weak. That's
another thing I'll bring up, too. That old general got shot
in the leg back in the 1700s, and his men was outside the tent,
and they loved their leader, and they heard him moaning and
crying, ah, and crying out. They was getting a bullet out
of him. He come out of that tent, and they stitched him up, and
they said, we're so sorry that happened. Oh, we wished it would
have never happened. And they said, we heard you crying.
And he said, it happened on purpose. God sent that bullet. And he
said, the Lord's children, if you ever write things down, it'd
be a good time to do it. The Lord's children, they are permitted
to groan, but never murmur. We're permitted to groan. It
hurts. There's pain. We cry. But not Murmur, God did
it. He's the doer thereof. He's the
doer thereof. That's what Nebuchadnezzar came to say. He said, all the
inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing. And he doeth
according to his will in the army of heaven and among the
inhabitants of the earth. And none can stay his hand or say
unto him, what doest thou? Isaiah said, yea, before the
day was, he's told Isaiah, yea, before the day was, I am he,
and there is none that can deliver out of my hand, I will work,
and who shall let it? He's the doer thereof. A fool
said no. A fool said no. I don't want
to be foolish. That brings reproach on the gospel,
doesn't it? If I was running around this town scared to death
and scared of every little boogeyman that was behind every shadow
and everything else, that brings reproach on the gospel. I don't
want to do that. I want to know he's on his throne and tell people
he's on his throne. This is the Lord's doing. I met some people
that are not fools in this world. They know there is a God. They
know their old heart and they knew that new heart that Lord
gave and he's the giver and he's the keeper of that heart and
that whole heart's for him wholly and solely. And that new heart
says and declares, and only it, yes, Lord, not no God, yes, God. And it says, your will be done.
Your will be done. Be with me. It asks for some
things, it petitions for some things, but it says, your will
be done. Let's read the rest of it and get to the end. Press
this Psalm. The fool has said, Psalm 53,
one. The fool has said in his heart,
no God. Corrupt are they, and have done
abominable iniquity. There is none that doeth good.
God looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if
there was any that did understand, that did seek God. What did David
say? He said, I'll seek you when you
say seek me and I'll seek you. You say seek me and I'll seek
you with everything in me, Lord. I didn't understand, I didn't
seek you. Every one of them has gone back. They're all together
become filthy. There's none that doeth good. No, not one. That's what Paul said in Romans
3, 12. Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? Who eateth up my
people as they eat bread? Have they not called upon God?
There were they in great fear where no fear was. That's what
the wicked flee when no man pursueth, Solomon said. For God hath scattered
the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put them
to shame, because God hath despised them. That's right. Yes, Lord. Yes. Oh, that the
salvation of Israel were come out of Zion. That's all that's
around us. I pray for those. Lord has some
people out in this place that are fools, just like I was. And
how's he gonna get a new heart in them through preaching the
gospel? But oh, that the salvation of
Israel will come out of Zion. Oh, we saw Christ high and lifted
up. When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, when
this happens, when he brings back the captivity of his people,
when he puts a new heart in one, the heavens rejoice when the
Lord saves somebody on this earth. And then when that final day
comes, when we go home, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall
be glad. He shall be glad. Do you want
to go the one that's the doer of it? That's not foolish. What'd it say? Trust in him and
you shall not be ashamed. You ain't gonna be a fool. You
ain't gonna be a fool. Wait on him, trust him. Bow to
him. Be a good thing on him. All right,
brother Mark.
