You may be seated. Thank you, Sherry. I love that operatory. You play that a lot. I don't know how many times I've
been tempted to jump up and sing, especially the chorus. His name is wonderful. I love
that chorus. And if you feel so led sometimes,
go ahead. Honestly. I saw some of you singing
it as well. His name is wonderful. Almighty
God, you see, I love that. God-lovers love that. Isaiah
45, let's read verses 20 through 22 again. Isaiah 45, verses 20
through 22. God says, assemble yourselves
and come. Draw near together, ye that are
escaped of the nations. have no knowledge that set up
the wood of their graven image and pray unto a God that cannot
say. Tell ye, bring them near. Let them take counsel together. Who hath declared this from ancient
time? Who hath told it from that time? Have not I the Lord, and there
is no God else beside me, a just God and a Savior? There is none
beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved. All the ends of the earth, for
I am God, and there is none else. And it seems that we've been
saying a lot about faith lately, doesn't it? You notice that in
the articles, in the bulletin, and the messages on faith. Faith. Faith is knowing and believing
the living and true God. That's what faith is, and his
Christ. Faith is life, proof of life. Life is faith. Live by faith. The Lord said, This is life eternal,
that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ,
whom thou hast sent. You know where that is not to
Jennifer. Our children have learned that
verse. She's not a child anymore she has a child. She's going
to teach it to her child. But they've all learned that.
John 17 3. This is life. And no God. The only true God. Christ said, and Jesus Christ
whom he sent. Now that's not my text, but that
sums up the faith, the just. Talk about faith, the just, that
is those who have justified, that is cleared of all sin, declared
by God to be holy. The just shall live by faith. When you live, what do you do?
What is life all about? We walk, we think, we talk, we
walk, we act, we move, we have our being, we react, and so forth. The just shall live by faith. We think by faith. about things. What God said. Our. Thoughts are based on what God
said. And he says we think on things
above. The things that are saying are
temporary. The things that are not saying are eternal faith
we walk we think we live by faith we talk or should. Yeah God's people do. We talk
the talk of faith we say things we don't talk about love or chance
or accident and so forth we say the Lord will. It's faith. We talk by faith. We walk by
faith. We're conscious of God's people
who live by faith. The just shall live by faith.
They live, they think, they talk, they walk by faith. conscious of what God's Word
says. How we react. God's people live by faith. Now, I said all that to say this. All of our doubts and fears and
inward struggles, and I'm talking to believers here, those who
are justified by faith. All our doubts and fears and
inward struggles come from unbelief. They do, all of them. All of
our doubts and fears and inward struggles come from unbelief. All of our confidence, all of
our peace, all of it, all of our peace, all of our comfort,
comes from faith. Believe in God. I quoted to you,
well I didn't quote to you, I quoted Isaiah 26, 3. Thou wilt keep
him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee. For in the
Lord Jehovah is a rock of ages, a rock of All confidence, all peace, all
comfort comes from faith. Where does faith come from? We've been talking, we keep talking
about this, don't we? Keep bringing it up. Faith cometh
by hearing. And we went over to Isaiah the
other day, 46, wasn't it? Where he said, no, Isaiah 55. He said, hearken diligently unto
me. He said, incline your ear unto
me. He said, hear and your soul will
live. He said, hear and your soul will
live. How? By faith. Faith cometh by
hearing, hearing by the word of God, the word of God. Faith. So why do we have doubts and
fears? Talking to the believer now,
those who profess to believe, why do we have doubts and fear. We doubt we have doubts and fears
about ourselves. Talking to the one who truly
believes God and trust Christ. We doubt our salvation. We have
doubts. Did you read the article by my
pastor in the bulletin? That's a keeper. I intend to keep it. Why do we
have doubts and fears about the future without we have doubts
and fears about the future about our jobs and so forth. I thought
about you know something could happen something catastrophic
could happen. It has before the economy has
collapsed before everybody in here would lose
your home. Unless you got to pay for it.
I said everybody under 70 would lose their home. But it happened before. Didn't it? It happened before. Suddenly some short years ago. Wouldn't we be taken care of? We have doubts about our jobs,
our homes, about the world. The world is an unstable, dangerous
place. Has it ever been otherwise? Can
you imagine living in Isaiah's day, where your life was in danger
every moment, every waking moment? We talk about a corrupt government.
We don't know anything about that. We don't know anything
about a corrupt government. We don't know anything about
Somebody can come in your home and take you and kill you just
because they want to. We don't know that. They did. We believe God. We believe God. But being flesh
and blood explains our doubts and fears. Okay? Being flesh
and blood, being human explains that. It doesn't excuse it, but
it explains it. It doesn't excuse it because
God had promised. God had promised. My earthly
father, he was an honest man, is an honest man. But when I
was growing up, I could believe him. If he told me something,
he's going to do it. Your dad, that wasn't most of
you. You could believe it. Couldn't you? You could rest
on it. He's going to do it if he's able,
he's going to do it. We're talking about God here. And he said, if you being evil.
Do that, how much more? So you're having a problem. God
has promised. And he's revealed it unto us.
He said, if it were not so, I would have told you. I wouldn't have told you. He
wouldn't have told us. He wouldn't have promised us something if
he didn't mean it. And he's proved himself to us
time and again, hasn't he? This is a mixed congregation,
different ages, but we have quite a few people over 40, 50 in here. God has provided for us up to
this point. You know, a fifty-year-old should
never have any doubts, a believer. Sixty-year-old? Seventy? We're going to sing after this
message is over, how firm a foundation these saints of the Lord is laid
for your faith in His excellent work. What more can he say to you than
he hath said to you who to the Lord Jesus Christ for refuge
hath fled? Fear not, I am with thee. Oh, be not dismayed, I am thy
God. I'll still give thee aid. I'll
strengthen thee, yea, help thee. and cause you to stand upheld
by my gracious, omnipotent hand." How many times have you sung
that hymn? We have doubts and fears. Now,
listen, we do have doubts and fears about other people, our
unsaved children. And we should. We ought to be
scared to death for them. They ought to know it. Our children, our spouses, our
parents who have no friends, who have no apparent faith or
interest in God, they're under the wrath and judgment and danger. And we ought to be fearful for
them. They're not. Old Job, you remember
Job said, I'm going to go and pray for my children. They apparently don't care. You couldn't love your children
if you weren't concerned about them. You didn't fear for them. You couldn't love your husband
or wife if you didn't fear for them. Those that don't know Christ.
If you didn't worry or fear for their souls. But let me tell
you this for your comfort. They're in God's hands. They
always have been. Always will be. And we'll get our comfort concerning
them. We're fearful and troubled about
them, but we'll get all our comfort concerning them where Eli got
his, where Job got his. Where's that? It's the Lord. Let him do what seemeth good
to him. Do as he pleases. And we're not to question Our
God concerning. His sovereign will and purpose. We read that didn't we in Isaiah
forty five. Shall the thing say. Shall the
clay say to him that fashion it. Why did you do this. There's a passage that says God
give us not an account of his matters to any man. You know, and here, one of the
fundamentals of the faith, where it all starts, really, is this. Man is depraved. Man is a depraved
creature. Man is a wicked in the eyes of
God, and that's all that matters. In the eyes of God, man is a
sinful, vile, wicked, altogether, he said, altogether filthy. Psalm 14, the Lord looked down
from heaven upon the children of men to see if there were any
that didn't understand. Understand what? Anything. God,
themselves, eternity. He said any that didn't seek
after God. Is anybody seeking God? No. He
said they all together become filthy, unprofitable. None that
doeth good. No, not one. Looked on the whole
shooting mat and said that. Concluded that. Who's he talking about? Who's he talking about that's
wicked and vile in his eyes? Mama. Daddy. My baby girl. My sweet boy. That's right. And our Lord said this. This
is what our Lord said. There is no peace to the wicked. No rest. Who's the wicked? Anybody that doesn't believe
and love and worship God. Anybody that doesn't believe
and love and worship God's Son. God said, no rest. No peace. No, no, no. I won't allow it. And we reap what we sow. Are you listening to everything?
Why is this happening? There's a whole lot more ought
to happen. The mercy of God is upon all his work. God is still
very merciful, but he's not giving anyone what they deserve. Including us, especially us. Are you with me? You understand?
Human beings question God, say, why is this happening? If we
really believe God and what He says here, and what God says
about us and our human beings, we would wonder, why hadn't He
dropped the floor out? Why hadn't He destroyed us by
now? And I quoted that to you from Lamentations, it's of the
Lord's mercies that were not consumed. This is not a doctrine,
this is a fact. And we talked about it this morning,
that every human being is capable of the most vile act known to
man. And Christ crucified is the ultimate example of that. And God holds this whole world
accountable and guilty for what they did to His Son. Why do the
Jews suffer so much? Have you ever thought about that?
Why are the Jews suffering so much at the hands of other nations?
They deserve it. God says this all through the
book, doesn't He? When Moses was through Moses,
He said, all day long, I've done this, I've done this. I fed,
watered, housed, clothed, and so forth, brought up a people
that rebelled against Me. Didn't He? Said that through
Moses. He said, You've been a rebellious
people since I've known you. Isn't this funny? It's God's mercy that we're not
in hell right now. Every one of us. Our children
included. Why are our children rebels?
Why did I come up a rebel? Because that's the way I was
born. Hating God and hating authority. Why is this happening? And the
whole world is going to say that one day, real soon. Why is this
happening? But bless God. God is merciful.
And there's going to be a whole bunch of people in glory saying, praise God. Oh, how merciful. And they're going to look at
the reason for one cause. a lamb as it had been slain.
Right there it is. If men want to know really who
God is and what God thinks about man, go to the cross. Jesus Christ died as a substitute, and God's the one that killed
him. God's the one that killed him. How did he kill him? Butchered him. Is there any beautiful
way to kill a lamb and skin it and use the skin? A horrible
sight. That's what God did to his son.
That's what God says. This is how I see sin. This is what I want to do about
it. But God is love. There's nobody lovely. There's
nobody lovable except his Son, but God. For His great love were
with the lovers. His sovereign love, He had to
set His love upon His people. And He put us in Christ. His people put us in Christ.
Because God was not willing that we should perish. So he spared not his own son,
put him through hell. Christ is the only man who's
been through hell on earth. He was. Because that's what we
deserve. That's not just theology. That's
not just a doctrine. That's a fact. That's what we
deserve. That's why he did that. That's
why. That's the God of the Bible. That's what God says about man.
Yes, Junior Little Sally. That was his son. So, you know, let's not question
God about anything. Because it's of his mercies that
we're not. It's just we are not getting what we deserve. The
Lord has not dealt with us according to our iniquity. He's not dealt
with anybody according to their iniquity. on this planet. Hadn't
done it. Hell is where he deals with people,
according to their name. So I say to us believers, us,
I say us, I went through, I go through and every now and then
I make the mistake of saying you, you, you, and I go through
and scribble it out and put we. I'm serious. I wish all preachers
would get the you out of their vocabulary. We. I want us to quit listening to
all we hear around us, all the voices in the world. There are
many. There are so many. Everybody's got something to
say about God. Nothing to sicken you. Quit believing the things we
hear and read. Quit believing it. Quit believing
man. Man is a liar. Man is a liar. God said, Daddy, comes forth
from the womb speaking lies. Man is a liar. God cannot lie. God cannot lie. Man is a liar,
and it's all self-motivated. Everything he does is self-motivated.
God is true. He's righteous. in all his way. Everything he does is right.
Are you with me? Everything God does with me,
with whoever, with whatever, is right. Shall not the judge
of the earth do right? Yes. That's what Moses concluded,
didn't he? When God was going to destroy
the whole city, as many as a million people in it. God's just. He does right. Quit questioning God's wisdom
and his providence. And that's what we do when we
worry too much. All right? If you didn't read
this, I'm going to read it to you. My wife reads the Bulletin
to our children nearly every time. I like that. I'm glad. You know, I do not enjoy doing
this at all. Matter of fact, I got some of
you typing the articles for me, so I don't have to do it. And
I appreciate it. But don't just do this just to
be doing it. Of the making of bulletins, there's
no end. Most bulletins I receive from
my tractor, my dear, they may do that to mine. Fine. All right.
Fine. I don't care. This is for you. This is for you. Quit mailing
them out a long time ago to anybody and everybody. Just quit doing
that. How many do we mail them out to? Fifteen people. Used
to be 75 or 80. I'm not going to mail them to
people who aren't going to read them. I don't care. This is not
to them. I'm not arguing with preachers. I don't care. I'm
not arguing with other people. I don't care. This is for you. These are for you, for us, this
church, this congregation. This is where I label them. This
is one of the best articles I've ever read. We have entirely too many fears
for a people to whom the Lord has said, fear not. Brother Nybert pointed out to
me one time, he said that the command that the Lord gave the
disciples more than any other, more than any other command,
he said to his disciples, fear not. It dishonors them. It dishonors
them. And my mother or father tell
me something, and I don't believe that. I don't believe. I believe
when I see it. It dishonors their word, doesn't
it? Fear not. We have far too many
doubts and fears concerning God's mercy, love, and grace for a
people to whom the Lord has said, Him that cometh to me I will
in no wise cast out. Man, that's the good news of
the gospel, Samuel, isn't it? No wives! I told you about little Annie,
haven't I? Well, she's still around. She's still around, happier
than ever. No wives, catch that. I give unto them eternal life,
and they shall never perish. that soul who on the Lord Jesus
have leaned for repose. I'll never, no, never desert
to his. He's the good shepherd, Nancy,
isn't he? He's the great shepherd. He never loses sheep. That's why David wrote that,
the Lord is my shepherd. We have We spend entirely too
much time grumbling and complaining about our trials and troubles
for a people to whom the Lord has said, in the world you shall
have tribulation. No one had more than he. We have entirely too much attachment
to this world and its present life for a people who are looking
for a city whose builder and maker is God, just passing through. We have far too much anxiety
care and fear far too much concern for earthly material thing for
people to whom the Lord has said you're heavenly father know if
you have any of these things. Don't worry about it. Worry about
tomorrow. Tomorrow you'll be worrying about
tomorrow. Sufficient for that day is the
evil the evil meaning unbelief. And our Lord says here in Isaiah
45, this is my text, our text. He said in verse 5, I am the
Lord. There is none else. There is
no God, capital G. There is no God. I am the Lord. What does Lord mean? It means
absolute ruler. I'm preaching to myself, Tammy
Jo. And I guess I've heard this as
much as anybody in here, and you've heard it for years, too,
since you were a baby girl. Do we need to hear it some more?
Why does he say this over and over again in the same chapter?
He said it over and over again, didn't he? I am in absolute control. I am God. What does that mean? Creator, Ruler, Controller, Sustainer,
Giver, Provider, Director, King, Source of Life in whom we live
in. There is none else. There is none else. There is
no... He went on to say there's no small g with me. I like that. No small g-o-d. No little person
in control of anything. Anything. No little thing. There is no God beside me no
man or no devil is in control of one thing except what I delegate. There in Romans thirteen he said
all power all authority is of God the powers that be are of
God. That's what he said. So he said
powers that be are ordained of God there's no power but of God. Why? Because he's God. God. From the president And again, I say to people who
think we've got a corrupt government. The Apostle Paul was under Nero when he wrote that, Deborah.
Nero, he's the one that used people as human That wicked woman or man or whoever
it is that you think such an absolute tyrant, she's there
because God put her there. He's there because God put him
there. And he's your boss. Who's your boss? God's your boss. I don't see why things are going,
why doesn't God do something? Oh, it is the Lord. It is. He is. He hath, he is, he will,
he shall. Are you getting some comfort
here? I girded thee, he said, I clothed
you. Man is the only creature on earth
that comes out naked that he will die in thirty seconds if
left to the elements. Man is the only creature. Have
you ever thought about that? Animals are not totally helpless. They
can survive. horses got up and running in
just a little few hours. Running! A man can't walk for
12 months. A man can't run for longer than
that. He's born naked. And we love
that story in Ezekiel, don't we? A child thrown out in the
field. He said, when I passed by you,
I said, live. If he doesn't say live, we won't
live. You know, I clothed you. I spread my skirt on you. I clothed
you. I girded thee, though you haven't
known me, haven't thought about me. Barbara, how many years did
you live without giving God a thought? Honestly. He fed you and watered
you and clothed you for all those years. Oh, you didn't know him? But he said in Isaiah 43, this
people have I formed for myself, that they might know me. He's
going to reveal himself to his people, that I'm God. They're God. From the east to
west, he has a people from east to west, that I'm the Lord. Verse 7, he says, I form the
light and create darkness. We just looked at this, didn't
we? Did we? Natural sun and spiritual. Natural
light and spiritual light. He said, I form the light. If
anybody has any light, any understanding of God, God gives it to them.
That's right. Man is in darkness and loves
it that way. But God causes the light to shine in
our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory
of God in the face of the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. And
his good doesn't have to, but he died. He died. And he said,
and I create darkness. Over in Isaiah 29, it says that
God blinds men's eyes. And then in 2 Corinthians 4,
it says the God of this world blinds men's eyes. Who is it? You ever seen that, what some
may call a discrepancy or contradiction? Isaiah 29, God says, Shut their
eyes so they can't see. Paul quoted that. In 2 Corinthians 4, he said,
The God of this world has blinded their mind. Which is it? It's
both. Nobody sees until God gives eyes
to see. How does he create darkness?
Leave us alone. We're born in darkness. Until God gives light,
we're in darkness. And how God blinds me and per
se is to leave them alone. Leave them alone. They're blind
leaders. And he turns them over to the
God of this world. Who further blinds their mind.
And he said, if the light that is in you be darkness, how great
double darkness. Do you understand that? You do,
don't you, Brother Henry? I know you do. You know these
things. And he says there, I make peace,
verse seven. I make peace. Our Lord said there shall be
wars and rumors of war. Wars and rumors of war. Why?
Because man is a bloody creature. Do you ever find in yourself Just wrath and anger rising up
into you. If you had a gun in your hand,
you'd kill somebody. Anybody beside me? Honestly. Now you think about two world
leaders, you know, getting mad at one another. OK, I'm just
going to come slaughter you. And thousands of people will
die. It's easy. It's easy to see how that happens. But God, And this country, this country
has enjoyed peace for so long now. Only a couple times anybody's
ever attacked our soil. And the rest of the world's not
like that. And we think, why is this happening
to America? It's been happening to the rest of the world since
the beginning of time. Who is it? Oh, this nation ought to be down
on its knees, shouldn't it? Thanking God for the peace that
he's given us. It's God. Read on. I create evil. Who sent those terrorists? Osama bin Laden. Where he come from. Now this is what people hate
about God. Didn't. He declared that just to just
read Isaiah forty five seven to our generation and watch the
veins pop out of their neck. And then get mad. And our Lord
says it's not you they hate it's me. One time, a tower fell. Our Lord
gave this illustration. A tower fell and killed everybody
in it and everybody under it. The Tower of Siloam. And the disciples couldn't understand.
They thought, well, are there greater sinners than anybody
else? That's what the disciples said. There must have been bad
sinners if that happened. And our Lord said, except you
repent, you'll perish. It's what we said at the very
outset. It's of the Lord's mercies that we're not concerned. And New York City is no more
wicked than Roanoke, Virginia, or Rocky Mountain. It's not. I create evil. I, the Lord, do
all these things. Cannot do a thing unless God
Almighty allows him to do it, and unless it's in God's absolute,
sovereign, eternal purpose and will. Can't do a thing. One word,
one word will prove that. One word will prove. Job. Job. Two words better prove this. That no evil could happen unless
God allowed it there in his will and purpose to fulfill his eternal
will. Two words better fulfill this. Christ crucified. Is God in control of all things,
even evil? Christ crucified. He said, You with wicked hands
have taken and crucified the Lord of glory, the most awful
thing ever to happen in the history of mankind. But you did what
God determined before to be done. So let not your heart be troubled. He said, I'm God. And that our act on Calvary's
tree. He said, look at, and I close
with this. In verse 20, he says, assemble
yourself, draw near together, you that are escaped. I started
to title this, you that are escaped of the nations. Why are you escaped? Why do you believe this? Why
do you believe God? Goes up in verse 13, he said,
and I will tell him, let go of my captives. Christ. leads captivity kept. And he said assemble yourself
people that pray to a God can't say they don't have any knowledge. And then you tell them you bring
them near. And everyone in here was an idol worshiper until God. Turned you from your idols serve
the living and true God you tell them this they've never heard
this before. I'm paraphrasing and never heard
this before, but you have that I'm God. There's none else. Isn't
this what? Isn't this the message that you
hear? And you said, I've never heard this before, isn't it? Everybody in here, the first
thing you hear like. I've never heard this before.
It's who God is. Really? He said I'm a just God. He will by no means clear the
guilt. Christ crucified. Is God just? Christ crucified. Will God punish sin? Christ crucified. What does God think about mankind?
Christ crucified. And I'm a Savior. Why did sin happen? Why all that? People ask that question. They
can't figure it out. And listen, if we could, if God
was not in control of every single thing, even evil, if he was not,
he wouldn't be God. There is no God. You understand?
There's something out of control. And one little atom out of control
would destroy the whole world, wouldn't it? Wouldn't it, Dan? Isn't that what an atomic bomb
is? Adams colliding. If God, if God, God said is not
a hair falls, not a sparrow falls to the ground. Oh, that's so
insignificant. What could that? I don't know,
but he does. That makes him God, he said.
If it wasn't so, there is no God. Throw this book away. Let's get out of here. This is
useless. There is no God. if everything, including evil,
is not under his sovereign control. And if we could understand him,
this is why people don't believe this, because they can't understand
it. They can't reconcile it. Why this? If God this, if God
that, why this? If we could understand him, he
wouldn't be God. If we could understand him, he wouldn't be
God. There's worms, OK? Here's life forms. Here's life
forms. There's worms. I mean, that's
What a bait. There's worms and there's dogs.
Boy, they're intelligent creatures, aren't they? Well, more than
worms. They're a whole lot smarter than worms. They're human beings. Well, how intelligent is a dog
compared to a human being? Huh? There's worms, and there's
dogs, and then there's humans. And they keep going. to the heavens. Higher, higher is God. I don't understand. Of course
you don't. Of course you don't. My dog doesn't
understand anything that he submits. My dog has more faith in me than
I have in my God. He doesn't understand anything
I do. Anything. We can, a little bit. God has shown us. God has revealed. We have a mind and intellect
to where He does reveal these things to us. Abner doesn't have
a clue why I won't let him go here and go there. I won't do
this. I won't let him take his food away from me. I won't let
him walk across the street. He doesn't understand nothing. And he trusts me. And every time,
all the time, I catch him doing this. Every time I look at him. What's
he doing? He's looking to me. He's looking to me. What are
you going to do now? What are you going to have me
do now? Are you going to feed me now? Look unto me! Who? Me! Look at the newspaper. Don't
do that. I'll go to this counselor. Don't do that. His name is Counselor. I listen to this. I didn't know
what they're saying. Don't listen to them. Hearken unto me. Faith, come at my hearing. Paul said, I know whom I have
believed. I'm persuaded. They're going
to kill you, Paul. Fine. I'm ready. Why? How can you believe this?
Because God is, and Christ is, and I am His to do with. I'm His dog. Look unto me. Be saved, not just eternally. Saved from anxiety. Saved from
distress. Saved from fears. Saved from
doubt. Saved from depression. Saved
from killing yourself. Saved from sin. Saved. Look unto
me. Be saved. He's an absolute, complete
Savior. Mind, body, soul, and spirit. Look to me. Where do you look? Listen to me. As my pastor said,
the whole problem is in not listening. We're not listening. How much
more? What more can't we say? And we
looked at this before. Why doesn't God speak out loud?
He did. He did. He did. His name was Jesus Christ. Did men believe him? No. His
people did. And Peter said, we were there,
we heard Him, we felt Him, we touched Him. John said, we handled
Him. But Peter said, we have a more sure word of prophecy,
Teresa, that we do well to take heed as a light in a dark place. A more sure word. What does that
mean? Why is that? God doesn't speak in visions
and signs and wonders and out loud anymore because He's written
it all down in a book. And you can go to it at any time.
Everybody can go and you hear the same thing, not something
different, not different voices, the same voice, the same message,
the same promises. There are other voices you might
hear. There's a there's an accuser that you'll hear. It'll tell
you all kind of things in your ear. This is already written. It's already written. Can't be
changed. Diligently unto me. Climb your
ear unto me. Here in your soul live. And I'll
give unto you, and the rest of that verse is, I'll give unto
you the sure mercies of David. David went to his deathbed claiming
the mercies of God. Although it be not so with my
house. This was David's dying. This is the sure mercies of David.
He's lying on his deathbed. He says, Although it be not so
with my house. Everything's just not hunky-dory.
Everything's not the way I would have it to be. But God hath made
with me, hath ordered all things in their sure, hath made with
me in Christ an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and surenesses
all my hope." And he died in the peace. And the world just
keeps spinning, not out of control. according to God's purpose. I'm God. I looked at it. I'm God. All right, let's sing that hymn. 268, I believe
it is. Yeah, that's it. 268. How
firm a foundation. is laid like a foundation for
your faith. All right, let's stand and sing.
268.
