Thank you, Jeanette. I know I told you we want to
deal with Psalm 45, but not tonight. We want to look at something
else from Ephesians. But first turn to 1 Peter 2.
1 Peter 2. Recently, the governor of Virginia
made another revision to his executive order,
and he's now trying to make a law requiring everyone to wear a
face mask in all public buildings, inside any building, any public
gathering of people. We're still trying to ascertain definitely if this
applies and they're going to enforce it in regards to churches.
This is clearly a violation of not just constitutional rights. I'm not concerned about that
necessarily. This crosses the line as no more
separation of church and state when they can tell you what you
do inside the church house. That being said, if I find out that they are making
this an absolute law and are going to enforce it under punishment
of breaking that law, we will not meet under those circumstances. Preach to people with their faces
covered in fear. And we'll do it. We've got to
sing these songs. We've got to conduct ourselves
like believers and conduct these services. And the purpose of
this meeting together is to expel these fears. Let's hope and pray like Nebuchadnezzar
in that story that the Lord changed the king's letter. Okay? And we're going to find out before
this Lord today. And I hope you know me well enough
by now to know that I'm never going to put you or your family
in harm's way. That's not a shepherd. It's to
protect the sheep. And we're not in harm's way when
we come into God's house to meet, to worship the Lord. Humanly
speaking, this is the safest place we can be. However, I'm
not going to lead or cause us, any of you, to break the law
and bring reproach upon our Lord. I'm not going to do that. We
know that. I'm well aware of those scriptures
that tell us to obey civil authority. I'm well aware of those scriptures.
I've taught them time and again. Romans 13. 1 Peter 2, look at
this. First Peter 2, look at these
verses. Beginning with verse... I didn't turn there myself. Alright,
First Peter 2, verse 12. Having your conversation, that's
your life, your conduct, honest among the Gentiles. Whereas they
speak against you as evil doers. You know, we're not going to
hide and do anything. We're not going to try to get
around the law. We're not going to do that. We don't have to do that. We say we believe God. We don't
have to fear and hide and sneak. We're not going to do that. Having
your conversation honest, circumspect, upright among the Gentiles, whereas
they speak against you as evil doers, they may by your good
work, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. Submit yourselves to every ordinance
of man for the Lord's sake, whether it be to the king or supreme,
or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the
punishment of evil doers, for the praise of them that do well.
So this is the will of God, that with well-doing you may put to
silence the ignorance of foolish men." Peter wrote that, didn't
he? Now turn with me to Acts chapter
4. And every man, John Gill, Matthew
Henry, different ones, all unanimously agree. And Paul wrote that when
he was in prison. Falsely accused, but in prison.
Wrongly accused. But you know how the Lord overruled
that for him to write these epistles. But under Nero, but even then
God... Look at Acts chapter 4. Now Peter
wrote that. Acts chapter 4 verse 18. They
called the apostles Peter and John commanded them not to speak
at all or teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered
and said unto them, whether it be right in the sight of God
to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge him." And that's
what Peter said. Look at Acts chapter 5. And they did it again. They put
Peter in jail and the Lord got him out. Acts 5 verse 27, when
they brought them They set them before the council, and a high
priest asked them, saying, Did not we straightly command you
that you should not teach in this name? Behold, you filled
Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's
blood upon us. Then Peter and the other apostles answered and
said emphatically, We ought to obey God rather than men." So
Peter is not talking out too sadly about that. Do you understand? Ordinances of man as punishment
for evil doers is civil laws that God lets men in civilized
nations that make these laws to enforce against evil doers. This is not an evil world we're
in. That being said, we're not going
to do anything to bring reproach upon our Lord.
And as I said, if it doesn't change, I don't know what we're
going to do. Meet in somebody's house. They
can't come in your house. We're hoping, praying, you pray
with me that something will change. Let me go ahead and say this
too while we're talking about it. You know, the Lord could
give Some of us or all of us have this disease. If we do,
the Lord will give it. He's the one that gives it. Right?
That's a fact. And if He does, it will be His
purpose. It won't be anybody's fault. Will it? No. At this point, I know of one
believer in one Jewish church all over the United States. One
person that's had the disease. And it was mild, and they were
over it. It was like the flu, and it's gone. One person. It doesn't surprise me. Does
it surprise you? I'm not bragging. I'm not going
to say, Lord, I'm not going to give it to them. I'm not saying
that at all. But this is to tell us, plainly, at this point, the
Lord's watching over us. And even if He does give it, He'll get you through it. Alright, now we're going to look
at something else. We're going to look at Ephesians
6. Go over to Ephesians 6. Alright, this is the message
for tonight. Being strong in the Lord and the power of His
might. And you know, brethren, there's no doubt we're in the
last day, perilous times Paul spoke of in 2 Timothy 3. Revelation
3, we looked at that, this hour of temptation that shall try
the whole world. I believe it's unbelief, like
Moses who was on the Lord's side. We're going to wait and see. But Ephesians 6, look at verses
10 through 12. Finally, my brethren, be strong
in the Lord and the power of His might. Put on the whole armor
of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the
devil, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. We're
not wrestling, Paul says, with flesh and blood. This is not
germ warfare. It's spiritual warfare. The world
may scoff at that because they don't believe God, they don't
believe there's a devil, and they don't believe these things. But
we do, don't we? It's not a fable. Peter's the
one that said, this is no cunningly devised fable. This is the truth.
Satan is a very real person. He's called the ruler of the
darkness of this world. Spiritual wickedness. Wicked
spirits in high places. Our Lord spoke of Satan more
than anyone. And he is the truth. I believe him. Satan's grand design is
to reign and to rule, to have his kingdom rule over all. It
started in heaven where he took a third of the heavenly host.
Now all of this is a mystery, but it's true. He took a third
of the heavenly host with him. And then in the garden, he came
to the first man and woman to try to destroy this new earthly
kingdom that God had set up. And what did he do? He came to
divide and conquer and steal and separate with his lies, with
his wiles, with his deception. Isn't that what he did? What
did he do? He separated Adam and Eve from their God. Didn't
he? They were cast out of God's presence.
He separated Adam and Eve from each other briefly. They got
at odds and began to despise each other. It's satanic. He can and does use anyone according
to God's way God allows him to do. Satan is still under God's
control. And we've said this so many times.
because of idolatry and sin throughout the land. This is why God allows. This is why the Revelation talks
about Him coming to the earth and having a little season, a
thousand years. He's had that. Darkness. Rulers of the darkness. And that darkness being where
the Word of God is not. There were years when nobody
had a Bible, which is light. And you don't know anything without
the truth, without God's Word. Satan reigned and ruled through
false religion, Roman Catholicism chiefly. Rulers of the darkness. As I
said, or as Paul said, we're not wrestling with flesh and
blood, okay? We're not wrestling with the
governor of Virginia. We're not fighting a disease.
That's a fact. And we just sang that song. We're
not the right man on our side. Our striving would be losing
one little word. All he needs to sin, and that's
what we hope for. But here in verse 10, he says,
Brethren, finally brethren, Paul is soon to have his head cut
off. Okay? I read you the story of
James Guthrie, one of the martyrs. One of thousands. And Paul is
in prison and trying to comfort, console, and encourage these
people. He wasn't afraid. We shouldn't be either. Fear
not men. Fear not them which kill the
body. It doesn't say men, does it? Just them. Who's that? Whatever
it is that kills the body. Bullets, diseases. Don't fear
them. Fear Him. That's what it says, isn't it?
Them, they're under control of Him. Paul wasn't afraid. And in Revelation, the Lord commends
those that died for His cause, saying, they loved not their
lives unto death. They were faithful unto death. They loved not their
lives. Be strong in the Lord and the
power of His might. Be strong in the Lord. Strong
in faith. Trust Him. Believe in our God. He is Lord. He's not a figurehead. He really is Lord, reigning and
ruling. He really is. Our God reigning. The power of His might. Remember
Proverbs 21.1? The King's heart. The King's heart. Our King. Governor. Ruler. Nebuchadnezzar. Was in the hands of the Lord
like the rivers of water. Do what He will. Colossians 1, over just a couple
of pages, look at Colossians 1. You'll never tire of reading
this. My, my, for God's glory and our
comfort. Verse 13, Colossians 1, Christ
hath delivered us, the Father hath delivered us from the power
of darkness, translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son.
In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of
sin. Brethren, if we have that, we've got nothing to worry about. Everything to look forward to.
Who is the image of the invisible God, the God in flesh, the firstborn
of every creature. For by Him are all things created. They're in heaven and in earth,
visible, invisible, created. The devil is a created being.
Where the thrones or dominions or principalities are powered,
all things were created by Him and for Him. And He is before
all things, above all things, over all things. By Him, all
things can sit. He's the head. He's the head of the body. The
Lord gave Him to the church. Be strong in the Lord. The power
of His might. Almighty God. He's almighty. And our Lord Jesus Christ has
all power in heaven and earth, doesn't He? And be strong in
the Lord and the power of His might. The Word of God is His
power. Right? That's what the Scripture
says. He upholds all things by the Word of His power. The Word
of His power, the Gospel of God is His power. Christ, the wisdom
of God, the power of God, the Gospel, the Word of God is His
power. Power to give life, power to save, power to change. If
God can turn a man like Nebuchadnezzar, well, He can turn anybody. He's
able. It's not beyond His power. He's
able. His power, His Word, He just
gives the Word. Change. His power. It's His power to
give peace to the most fretful, fearful, stressful. Be strong. It's easy to say,
but how we are strong is in the Lord. Ask the Lord to give us
strength. And the power of His mind. His
word. I quoted it in my prayer. Remember
thy word unto thy servant upon which thou hast caused me to
hope. Be strong in the Lord and the
power of His might. Be strong in the faith. Look at verse 11. Let's go on.
He says, put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to
stand against the wiles of the devil. of God. Spiritual weapons. 2 Corinthians 10, verses 3 and
4 says, We walk in the flesh, but we do not war after the flesh. Though we walk in the flesh,
we're not warring. Like he said in Ephesians, we're
not warring after the flesh. And the weapons of our warfare
are not carnal. But mighty. God's Word. Through God. His plea. To pull him down of stronghold. And we've seen His power convert
evil and wicked men. You're looking at one. But Saul
of Tarsus is the one who wrote this. The whole church feared
him. They were afraid of him. One day he came walking into
the worship service. with his head down, head bowed, and said,
I want to be one of you. That's the power of our Lord.
If He so pleases. He's going to go on to tell us
to wield this sword in our text. Put on the whole armor of God
that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. The wiles. He's wily. He's crafty. He's tricky. He's cunning. He
schemes. He plots. He's a master of deception. And his ministers are his chief
workers, his preachers. That's what Paul wrote. He's a master of deception. He
knows human nature unlike anyone else except our God. And he's
wily. He uses the lust of the flesh,
the lust of the eyes, the pride of life. He uses lies. Fear. Fear is one of the most paralyzing,
contagious things there is. And that's what Satan uses. Fear.
Fear of man brings a snare that just has people paralyzed. He uses men. Satan uses people. He can even use us at times and
be divisive. That's what he did in the garden.
Our Lord resisted Satan, and Satan came to our Lord, and the
first thing our Lord did as a man, as an adult man, 30 years old,
was face our foe for it. He faced our adversary, the second
Adam from above. The first Adam was no man, Eve. The second Adam was the Lord
from glory. And he came and faced Satan with
all of his temptations, tempted in all points like as we are.
What did he tempt him with? Angels. Just bow down. Submit to the God of this world.
Just be like everybody else. I'll give you all these things.
Look at all this. Our Lord answered Satan with one word. How? Three times He answered him with
His Word. Be strong in the Lord. In the
power of His Word. There is no power, there is no
spirit that can resist the wisdom of God's Word, like Stephen that
stood up before all those enemies. He's strong in the Lord and the
power of His might. This is what we're looking to,
God's Word, God's Christ. Verse 12, we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, against
the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places, wicked spirits. And I remind you, Romans
13 says all powers of God. That means all power. We read
in Colossians 1. Our God is all powerful. So that's
who we resort to in. Look at verse 13. Wherefore,
here it is, whole armor. Take unto you the whole armor
of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and
having done all, to stand. Take unto you the whole armor
of God. Read on. Now, stand therefore having first
of all your loins girt about with truth. Truth. Truth. A girdle back then wasn't
what women wore. The soldiers wore this thing
underneath them. It's strapped tightly to it.
It's rigid. Protect their loins. The vital
organs. And all their armor hung on it.
It was the foundation of all the armor that hung on this girdle.
He says, this is the foundation. Truth. Truth. Whom resist in the truth in the
faith. Girt with truth. God's Word.
Truth. Christ. Foundation of all we
believe and practice. And practice. It all hangs on
the truth. Let God be true in every man's life. And Satan's
grand deception is to keep people from hearing the truth. And that's what he's about right
now. That's what he's trying to do. Keep people from hearing
the truth. Thank God we do have means such
as these new devices. Men were created, I know Al Gore
created the internet so we could preach the gospel
over it. That's it. You know that? That's it. You can have the rest of it.
Right? We're no better. We're no better
at all. We're worse. And I know for a
fact that's why Al created the Internet. God created the Internet. It's like radio and TV. I remember
men were against TV and radio at first. A.W. Pink just refused to record any
message. He just didn't believe it. Well,
I'm thankful for those meetings. And it's sad when people substitute
the true and living worship with those things. It's not a replacement.
It's not even close, is it? And it's for those that can't
worship. We have brethren in California and New York and North
Carolina and other places that cannot, do not have a place So
I'm so thankful for this man. We will, God's people, continue
to hear the message, in spite of these powers they're trying to
keep from us. That's the purpose of the internet.
That's the purpose of it. Do you agree? All things are
for God. And for our good, aren't they?
Well, he says, the foundation... of faith is God's truth. Men,
we must hear the truth. Alright? And Christ is the truth.
Everything He said. Everything He is. Our souls hang
on it, don't they? Verse 14, and having on the breastplate
of righteousness. The breastplate of righteousness.
A breastplate, as you know, covers the breast. What determines whether
you're living or dying? Living or dying. One thing. As
one organ, if it stops, you die. The heart. Out of the heart are
the issues of life, right? With the heart, man believeth
unto righteousness. Alright? This breastplate of
righteous truths hangs on, the righteousness hangs on this truth,
the breastplate, the heart. With the heart man believeth
unto righteousness." We believe God is holy. God is just. God
is angry with the wicked. God in wrath and judgment. God
will punish sin. He's doing it now. This is not
the eternal judgment and wrath of God. When that happens, it's
all over. It's all over. It's going to
be a wonderful thing. It's all over. Sin will be forever. Sin,
death, and hell cast in like a fire by a holy and righteous
God. That is an absolute fairy tale to the world. They don't
believe that. Religion doesn't preach that.
Modern Christianity does not preach that anymore. They don't
bring it up. Believe it. It's so. And we clearly see the
hand. God is righteous. The righteous
Lord loveth righteousness and hateth iniquity, doesn't He?
And He will punish sin. And he can do it right before
people's eyes. The wrath of God revealed from heaven against
all unrighteousness and wickedness of men who hold
the truth, suppress it, twist it, corrupt it in unrighteousness. God loves righteousness. And I do too. We do too, don't
we? Someday God has a kingdom wherein
dwelleth righteousness. I just looked at a brother and
he sighed a sigh of relief, like, oh, it can't come soon enough.
Why? Because everything in this world
is wrong! And most of what goes on inside
of me is wrong! Right? Oh, I'm long, I want,
I need righteousness. Oh, I could stay right there
a long time, you know. Righteousness. You know, the
world doesn't know that. We believe God is righteous. We believe
God that sin is unrighteousness. We believe that Christ came.
God. Manifested and fled. And here's
the gospel in one verse. 2 Corinthians 5.21. God hath
made him to be sin for us who knew no sin. That we might be
made thee. Righteousness of God in Him. There is no punishment. And the
world can't understand that. Religion, you try to explain
to them, but all sin will be punished. And we're not going
to go to heaven because we're better, or even more sincere,
or more devoted, or anything, because we're anything, but because
Christ died. Because Christ represented us. And Christ, our righteousness,
bore the sin and the punishment, and imputed, reckoned, charged
to our account." There's no condemnation of them that are in Christ. Does that matter? Brethren, it's
not doctrine. Our souls hang on it. Like this
girdle, it hangs on that. This is the foundation of our
faith. Christ, our righteousness. He's
made unto us wisdom, righteousness. Sanctification and redemption.
This breastplate. Keep that near your heart. Over
your heart. Set your heart on that. Now look at verse 15. And your feet shod with the preparation
of the gospel field. Your feet shod with the gospel.
We walk by faith. We walk by faith. And we keep
going right back to the truth. The truth. The gospel of truth.
Christ. The truth. We walk by faith.
We believe what He says. That's how we walk. We look to
Him. We don't walk by sight. The things
that are seen are temperable. The things you see and hear around
you are deceptive. Satan uses things that are seen
to tempt flesh. You're not in the flesh. Romans
8 talks about it. You're led by the Spirit. You
shouldn't be tempted by and enticed by and tricked by these things
you see. The soap bubble. The vanity. Satan's wiles. Look, look, look. No, don't look. It's temporal. It's vanity. It's a lie. Looking unto Him. Look unto me,
God said, and be ye saved. All the ends of the earth. He
is the truth. Our feet are shod with the preparation
of the gospel. We walk by faith. We walk through
the valley of the shadow of death. Psalm 23. What's the rest of
it? I'll fear no evil. Why? God's
with us. Christ is with us. I don't see
Him. No. But He's with us. He walked by
faith, not by sight. We believe He's with us. We need
not fear. It's a shadow of death. A shadow.
The world's afraid of death. Like this is it. It's finality.
No, no. Not for us. Like Brother Walter said, dear
Sister Betty, Walter, you might not have long to live. He said,
that'd be good. Paul, going to the gallows. James
Guthrie, on and on it goes. These men love not their lives
unto death. Because we don't die. Have your feet shod with the
preparation? I like preparation. Like the
children of Israel had their shoes on and said, put your shoes
on. Why? We're leaving here. We're leaving here. All right,
prepare to leave. When you're getting ready to
leave the house, eventually the last thing you do is put your
shoes on. That's what I did tonight. Alright, verse 16. Above all, taking the shield
of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery
darts of the wicked. The shield of faith. Satan sends
dart after dart after dart, temptation, shock, arrows flying at your
head, at your heart, at your loins, He sends out all these
darts, doesn't he? Holding the shield of faith.
When Michael the archangel, who has power beyond description,
contended with Satan over the body of Moses. Remember that? You know what Michael the archangel
said? He didn't contend with Lucifer. He said, the Lord rebuked Esau. Shield of faith. The Lord. We're
no match. We're no match. Whom resist,
Peter said, 1 Peter 5, he says, resist in the faith. Meaning,
calling on your Lord. Because you can't resist one
dart. It's this shield of faith. Lord,
you said you'd protect me. Help me. Help me. Help me. Shield of faith. It's all the
darts. And they're ongoing. They're constant. You know that.
Constant. Day and night. Shield of faith. Faith's not
a thing. It's a person. See what I'm trying
to say? The Lord is our sun and our what? Shield. Our shield is a person. He shields us. So we ask Him,
Lord, He's shooting at me. Verse 17, take the helmet of
salvation. Helmet. Satan's design, as Paul
wrote, is to blind the minds of people from hearing the gospel.
Right? 2 Corinthians 11. I think it is. He says the grand
design is to blind the mind from the simplicity that is in Christ. I'm looking to Christ. Yeah. Through His subtlety. Blind the
mind. And 2 Corinthians 4 says the
same thing. 2 Corinthians 4 blinds the mind.
2 Corinthians 11, He beguiled Eve through His subtlety. So
you should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
This helmet of faith. Don't listen to lies, but to
the Lord. This helmet of faith again is,
Lord, protect my head from all that I'm hearing. Evil thoughts, seducers, wax
worse and worse. My only thoughts, Lord, help
me. Help me protect my head, protect
my heart, my feet, my walk. Back in our text, look at verse
17. And the sword of the Spirit,
which is the Word of God. We're not just on the defensive. We're also on the offensive.
And we take the sword of the Spirit. And what we say to anybody
and everybody, and this will be our defense if we have to
come to that point, This is what God's Word says. Thus it is written. Right? Thus it is written. We need to know it. Believe it.
This is the Word of God. Should we obey men or God? Well,
now look at this. Verse 18. Praying always. Without
ceasing. Because Satan doesn't sleep.
The adversary doesn't sleep. He doesn't let up. In our weakest
moment, that's when he comes after us. And he manipulates
us. He's easy. We're easy. Praying
always. What is prayer? It's not a thing.
It's a calling on a person. It's not an observance. It's
not a posture. It's not a... It's not something
you do. It's someone you call on. That's
what prayer is. It's just calling. It's just
communion. It's just crying. It's crying like a baby crying.
Doesn't have to be certain words, though it does need to be in
Christ's name. But not certain words. Just help me. That woman,
that Syrophoenician woman, help me. After it was all over, all
she could say was, Lord, help me. He said, very present help. Praying always with all prayer. Praying about all things. And supplication. Indeed, supply
of wisdom and strength and courage. In the Spirit. And that's grown in that it cannot
be uttered. And that's in the name of Christ.
Watching thereunto. Watching. Have your eyes wide
open. Don't be fooled. Don't be asleep as others. With
all perseverance and supplication for all saints. I know this from
God's Word and from experience and our Lord's example, that
when you pray for others, the Lord will help you. That's right. And Paul said this,
a spiritual leader and teacher of the church there, he said,
for me, the utterance may be given unto me, that I might say
what needs to be said, and I open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of
the gospel, be bold, for which I am an ambassador in bonds,
that therein I may speak boldly as I ought to speak. Turning
and closing back to Acts chapter 4, I want you to see this, Acts
chapter 4 in closing, alright? It's a wonderful, poignant, beautiful
picture of the church that was threatened and about to go through
great persecution. There were ten great persecutions
of the church down through the years. This was the first. The church at Jerusalem was scattered
everywhere. Their lives were literally in
danger. Alright? When they threatened Peter and
John not to preach anymore, remember? He said, you be a judge, whether
we ought to hearken to you or God. We cannot speak to things
that we've seen in her. Verse 21, so when they further
threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they
might punish them. That's what we're praying for.
Because of the people, all men glorified God for that which
was done. The man was healed. He was over 40 years old. Verse
23, and being let go, they went to their own company. Where did
they go? Straight back. to their brethren, and reported
all that the chief priests and elders..." What were their brethren
doing? They were meeting together praying for them. Read on. Verse 24, "...when they heard
that, these threatenings, they lifted up their voice to God
with one accord, and said, Lord, Thou art God, which hast made
heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, who by the
mouth of thy servant David hath said, Psalm 2, Why did the heathen
rage, and the people imagine vain things? Kings of the earth
stood up, rulers gathered together against the Lord, and against
His Christ. For of a truth against thy holy
child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, Pontius Pilate, with
the Gentiles, the people of Israel, were gathered together, For to
do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determine before to be
done." They're praying this. And now, Lord, behold their threatenings. And grant unto thy servants that
with all boldness they may speak thy word. Stretch forth thine hand to heal.
I pray the Lord will heal our land.
Why? That the gospel may go forth. The church may gather. That signs
and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
He's still the same, isn't he? And when they had prayed, the
place was shaken where they were assembled together. They were
all filled with the Holy Ghost. And they spake the word of God
with boldness. And the multitude of them that
believed were of one heart and one soul. Neither said any of
them that all of these things which he possessed was his own.
They had all things common. And with great power gave the
apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great
grace was upon them." That's our prayer. Stand with
me. Our Lord and our God, it is indeed
our prayer we ask that You would Intervene on our behalf for thy
glory and honor, for the good of your people and your church,
for your glory, the cause of Christ, the cause of God and
truth. Grant us wisdom and courage and know what to do. Give us
your Holy Spirit. Lead us, guide us, direct us,
our words, our steps, orders. We do all things for your glory,
upright, walk before men without fear and yet in meekness and lowliness. Lord,
we know not what to do. We turn to Thee. Our eyes are
upon Thee. Hear our prayer for Christ's
sake. Amen. I don't know if you've ever been
in a town where you meet people like that. More than a year ago, I was in a town where I met people
like that. Then I began to talk to people like that. I started talking to people like that. Then I began
to talk to people like that. Then I began to talk to people like that. Then I began to talk to
people like that.
