It's a laughing matter, but this
is not. Religion has made a mockery of
God's Word. We are dealing with eternal matters
here. Our very life hangs on this. It really does. And they were laughing and joking
on the Titanic just before it went down. We just read about the end of
this ship called Planet Earth. And this is serious. Young and
old, I want your undivided attention. All right, 2 Peter chapter 3, in verse 14,
it reads this way. Beloved, seeing that you look
for such things, be diligent. that you may be found of him,
or of God, in peace without spot, and blame him. Be diligent. Verse
17 says, You therefore, beloved, see and you know these things.
Beware. This message could be entitled Beloved, Beware, or
Beloved, Be Diligent. To be diligent about something
is what? To be diligent is to be serious. If you're diligent about something,
you're absolutely in earnest about it. You're very serious
about it. You're devoted to it. You're
diligent. I had some work to do on my little
farm last week. A young fellow came down and
offered his services. I said, okay, I'll hire you and
I'll pay you so much an hour. Well, he went to work, and the
work wasn't very pleasant. It was picking up rocks. And he worked about ten minutes.
I was watching him out of the corner of my eye. He worked about
ten minutes and stopped. and came to me. I was in the
garage and he came to me and said, I need to go home and get
something to drink. I said, I'll get you something
to drink. And I got him something. Well, he worked another ten minutes
and came back and said, what do you want that rock there? Every five or ten minutes he
would stop. He was not very diligent to say
the least. To be diligent is to be devoted
to and earnest about, to be very serious about it and do
it with all your might. Diligent. So he says here, be
diligent, be diligent that you may be found of him in peace
without spot and blameless. Our God is holy. You've already
heard this this morning. Our God is infinitely holy. The scripture says, God's word
says, he wrote, he's of two pure eyes to look upon iniquity. The
scripture says the sun and the moon don't even shine to God.
The scripture says he charges his angels with folly. He says how much Worse is man. How can a human being be found
without spot or perfect and blameless by God? How can God, who looks
on the heart, not on the outward countenance, God who looks, who
knows our thoughts before we think them, how? Can we be found of God in
peace? That is, God have peace with
us, not be angry with us. God who's angry with the wicked
every day. God who hates all workers of
iniquity. How can we be found in peace? How can we be found without spot
and blameless and not be held accountable by God? Because a
man is going to be held accountable, Scripture says, for every idle
word, not only wrongdoing. How? 1 Corinthians 1, verse 30 says
this. To believers, it says, Of God
are you in Christ Jesus. Who of God is made unto us. This is another one of those
verses we need to remember. Who of God is made unto us. Wisdom,
righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. Paul said, O
that I might be found in him, not having my own righteousness.
Christ himself said there were going to be a multitude of people
stand before God in the judgment day and plead what good boys
and girls they've been. Religious people pleading that
they did such and such in Jesus' name. He said, I never knew you.
Get them out of here. Some, by the mercy and grace
of God, are found in Christ not having their own righteousness,
not pleading their own good work, not pleading anything about themselves. As a matter of fact, they say
unworthy, unworthy. And God will accept them. How? Jesus
Christ. Only, completely, solely by Jesus
Christ. being found in him, much like as a little child, you know,
you might have took refuge under your mother's skirts, under her
apron or something, back when they wore long skirts, you know,
you couldn't get your head up under one now. Back then, you
could hide under your mother's skirts, you know, your whole
body. Some might say, where's Paul or where's Dan? That's back
in Dan's day. Where is so-and-so? He's hidden.
He's hidden. He's covered by his mother's
robe. That's salvation, to be found
in him, in Christ, not having my own righteousness, but covered
in his righteousness. his perfect life. That's why
Christ came to this earth to live, not to show us how to do
it, but to do it for his people and impute it to them, charge
it to cover them like God killed that first animal in the garden,
the first two sinners, Adam and Eve. God killed an innocent lamb,
skinned it, and wrapped them in the skin of that innocent
Why? As a picture of the Lord Jesus
Christ wrapping us in his righteousness. That animal died, its blood was
shed because those two sinners sinned. God is holy. He said
the soul that sins is going to die unless somebody dies for you. That's why Christ died for his
people. How are we going to be found
of God in Christ if he puts us there, if he gives us faith,
if he gives us this gift, if he places us in Christ by his
power, by faith? All right, that's spiritually
speaking. And he says here, be diligent. Didn't he? Peter said, be diligent
that you're found of him. Be in earnest about it. Be devoted
to it. Don't take it for granted. Don't
presume it. Be diligent. Doesn't it? Did you read that over in the
first chapter? Be diligent. Give diligence. In another place, he said give
diligence to make your calling an election trip. Be diligent,
all right? God has an elect people. He knows
them. The foundation of God stands
sure, having this seal. The Lord knoweth them that are
his. Your calling proves your election. He said, give diligence to make
your calling and election sure. Your calling, the call of the
gospel. Paul wrote in Thessalonians,
he said, you are called by the gospel. to those who had been
called. He said, you're called by the
gospel. How you know your election is
the gospel came, and you're called by it. What is the gospel called? Well, it's not just an understanding
of doctrine in the head. It's not just a believing or
hearing of facts that Jesus died and buried and rose again. The
devils believe that. has something to do with the
heart, the affection. Yes, we're saved
by truth, but it's the love of the truth. Let me give you an
example. The love of the truth. You see,
God sheds a brow. When the gospel comes, he sheds
a brow of the love of God in the heart of his people. Love
for the gospel. which may have been a duty and
a cold, heartless habit into a love, a joy and a rejoicing,
into a must-have thing. The gospel turns a story of a
historical person into a real and living person that you are
in love with and you need him desperately. I kind of equate, well, the scriptures
call it a marriage, a marriage of Christ, that his people are
going to be called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. You young
people, you think about getting married or something. It's a good thing. God ordained
it. It's a good thing. It's the right
thing to do, especially on this day. But you better love that person, because love endureth all things,
love believeth all things, love hopeth all things. That marriage
certificate is not going to keep you together. It's a worthless
piece of paper. This infatuation as young puppies
in love. soon ends when the responsibilities,
when the weighty financial responsibilities and the everyday mundane things
of life start kicking in and you start growing older, there
better be love there. I mean, deep, abiding love in
the heart, not an infatuation in the loins. I'm being very
plain now. What is love? Now, I'm going
to apply this to the gospel in a moment, all right? What is
love? You're thinking about getting married. What is love? I'll tell
you what love is. And I know, I'm no novice now. I've been
married 22 years. 22 wonderful years. No, I can't say that every day
has been wonderful. It's not. Paul said, if you get
married, you're going to have trouble. Flesh is flesh, male
is male, female is... I don't know what. You know, from Venus, Mars or
Venus. Anyway, sorry. It's just a fact of the matter.
Let some of these folks have been married a hundred years,
like the Bushes there, let them tell you. The Rosses, let them
tell you. It's not a rose garden, is it? What's going to keep it together?
There's only one thing. Love. And that love better be,
and there's no true love outside of Christ. There's no true love
outside of Christ. As a matter of fact, Scripture
talks about in 2 Timothy 3, in the last day, perilous times,
it's going to be without natural affection. There won't be that abiding love.
But in Christ now, true love never failing. What is love?
Love is, you can't live without somebody. You can't live without them. Love is always thinking about
that person. I mean, always thinking about
that person. Love is wanting, yes, but needing
that person. Love is willing to sacrifice
everybody and everything to have that person. Now, he that loveth not knoweth
not God. Don't get married. Don't even
think about it. If that person is not in all
your thoughts at all times, You eat, drink, and sleep that
person. And let me tell you, it doesn't
end. It may, when other things, responsibilities
and things that, like I said, take place, the love, as responsibilities, you know,
you can't be thinking about that person all the time. You've got
responsibilities. But truly now, that love, It's
deep and it's abiding. If anything, it grows stronger. And so it is with the love of
Christ, the gospel. Love of the gospel. Anything
less is not love, and anything less than willing to sacrifice
all to have Christ is not love. not the love of Christ. So why
does Peter say, Be diligent? Be diligent that ye may be found
of him in peace. Be diligent. What does it mean
to be diligent? Well, it's always about something,
right? Always about. When our Lord was
twelve years old, twelve years old, his earthly father and mother,
so called, came to him looking for him. They worried about him.
You remember what he said? Why are you looking for me? Don't
you know, wish you not, that I must be about my father's business. I must be. I'm his child, and
I must be about his business. I want to be about his business.
I love this business. Now let me ask you about this
right here, what we're doing. And this is something you can't
fake. It's like being married. You can't fake it for long, can
you? You can't fake it. You're either in love or you're
not. It's no chore for me to go home
at night. No chore for me. I don't go home
because I have to go home. What will people think if I don't
go home? No, no, no. I want to go home. Why? There's
a woman there. There's a daughter there. I'm
in love with. I want to be with them. I think
about them. Why do I come here? Why do you
come here? You see? Now, preacher accepts it. I'm not the world's best preacher,
but you've had some of the best standing in this place a couple
of weeks ago. Isn't it a joy and a rejoicing? Isn't it a high privilege and
an honor to be here? In two weeks, Brother John Chapman
is going to preach here in my place. I'm going to Mexico. And
I told one of the brethren, I said, I'd almost rather be here, I
know I would, to hear Brother John, a good preacher. I've never
sat under his preaching and I wasn't just so blessed, honestly. Going down to preaching this
meeting with these fellows, I really wish I wasn't doing any preaching,
I really do. But I can't wait to hear Brother
Dale preach. So this is what we're about. This is the Father's business.
This is love. Be diligent, you may be found
of him. This diligence is for seekers. That's what Peter's
talking about. Seek. Our Lord said, and you'll
find. Seek. This is for seekers. Seeker. This is for a true worshiper.
This is for real needy sinners. You know who needs this gospel?
You know, we We preach the same thing every time, don't we, Brother
Roy? The same thing every time I get up, every time my pastor
gets up, every time every preacher stands in this pulpit, same old,
same old. God is holy. Man is sinful. God is merciful. God is gracious. There's provision for sinners
in Christ. There's a good news, a gospel
for needy sinners. You know who needs this gospel?
Poor, needy sinners. This is what proves this love
in our hearts, is that it never grows old. It's always good news. Good news, not good old news,
good news. Glad tidings of great joy unto
you is sent this day in the word of the gospel, the word of his
power and savior. For who? No, not the rich and
increased with goods and have need of nothing, but the needy,
the poor and the needy. Go tell John that I sent to preach
the gospel of the poor, and the poor have the gospel preached
unto them. Real needy sinners. They're going
to find something. They're going to find peace.
They're going to find joy. They're going to find real answers. Real Christ-lovers look for Him,
too. See that you look for such things.
Look at what things is he talking about. Look at verse 13, 2 Peter
3, verse 13. He says, Nevertheless, we, according
to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein
dwelleth righteousness. Seeing that you look for such
things. Do you look for such things? A new heaven and a new
earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness? Do you? Now, go back to Hebrews 11 with
me. I'm a man, just give me the benefit
of the doubt, I'm a man like any other man in here, or any
other man out there. Scriptures talk about Elijah,
a man of like passion, just a man. No super, holy, ultra, pious,
holier than thou, goody preacher. Just a man. Sinful, no good,
wicked, hell-deserving beggar. Just a man. And I enjoy things
as much as anybody. I enjoy things as much as anyone. I enjoy the beauty of this earth. I do. I enjoy it. I love to sit out in my favorite
pastime. Young people, when you get older,
one of your favorite pastimes is to sit on the porch and just
look at things. Ever thought I'd be doing that? I could never get any happiness
if I wasn't doing something. Let's go! Now I want to just
stop. Just rest. I enjoy things as much as anyone.
I enjoy the beauty of this earth. My family, I enjoy my family.
The older I get, the more I enjoy being with my family, my friends,
these friends. I have no other friends but these
friends, honestly. If I'm not with you, I'm not
with anybody. That's a fact. Right, Linda? I enjoy good times. I do. I enjoy recreation. I enjoy
good food. I really do. It may not... I
like to eat as much as the next man. But you know what really makes
these things truly enjoyable? It's knowing who gave them to
me. I had all these things once before
and didn't give it a thought. Really, I didn't enjoy them fully. You understand what I'm saying?
I had all these things years ago and really didn't appreciate
them, and sure didn't thank God for them, didn't give God a thought. Now I really enjoy these things.
Why? Knowing that they were a gift.
an undeserved but bountiful gift from my Father's hand." But there's
one real problem with this place. There's a big blight on this
planet. There's one prevailing problem
with this planet Earth and everything and everyone in it, including
me. which makes me sick of it and want to be done with it.
What is it? Sin. See, when it entered the garden,
that was paradise. It was paradise, and sin entered
the garden, and it ruined it. It turned a loving husband and wife
into bitter enemies. It turned a man who enjoyed walking
and talking with this God, hiding from him, not wanting to see
him, not wanting to hear from him. Sin. And it's only gotten worse. You
know why a man used to live nearly a thousand years and now he's
down to seventy? Adam lived 930 years, believe
it or not, he did. And now man's down to 70 years. Because man is corrupt in everything,
and increasingly so. When God, our text is talking
about the flood. And in the flood, right before
God destroyed this planet with water, he said he looked down
on this planet and it says that man was corrupt from his youth,
his only evil continually. That's all he thought and did. What can we get into? And you know, it's only gotten
worse, you see. It reached a head, and God flooded
the earth. But God had a further purpose
for this earth. More people than eight, more
people than ten, that is, Adam and Eve and Noah. a purpose, an ongoing purpose
that had to be fulfilled. But the years of man began to
diminish because man corrupted his way on the earth, corrupted
his way, until this world is right back to where it was when
God said, the only evil continuum. That's what our Lord said in
the days, as in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming
of the Son of Man. And I'm not just talking about
this world, the sin that's in this world, I'm talking about
the sin that's within me. My sin, David said, is ever before
me. I'm sick of it. Can you imagine,
Brother Stanley, can you imagine living 900 years with yourself?
The man next door, bad enough. The people you work with, it's
bad enough, but with yourself. being assaulted by sin. That's the mercy of God, Brother
Dan, isn't it? Just to live a short while, because that's all you
can stand of your sins. Hebrews 11, look at Hebrews 11,
look at verses 13 through 16. It talks about Abel and Enoch,
Sarah, Noah, and Abraham. They all died in faith, it says.
That is, trusting Christ, looking to Christ, wanting to be found
in him. looking for him, not having received the promises.
No. We did, though. Christ came. We have a book,
Peter said, a more sure word of prophecy than they ever received.
But they were persuaded of these things and embraced them. You
see that? See that, Barbara? They embraced them. It doesn't
say they believed, but they embraced them. What you love, who you
love, you embrace. You hold on tight. You don't
want to let go. I'm talking about my wife. When we were dating, I'd go over
and stay till the wee hours of the morning, you know. Oh, one
last kiss. One more for the road. Make it
two. Embrace. Don't want to let go, right? Many of you have heard after
preaching, and like I said, poor preaching excluded. Notwithstanding,
many of you say, don't stop. Don't stop now, while many others
say, are you going to go on? Surely not. Embrace these things. Read on.
Confess. Here's their confession. Here's
their confession of every Believer. Strangers and pilgrims on this
earth. Strangers. Those people are strange people. That's what he said. Peculiar
people. You actually like this? Yeah. Strangers and pilgrims on the
earth. Pilgrim. What's a pilgrim? Somebody's looking for something.
That's a pilgrim. Somebody's looking for something. They that say such thing, verse
14. Do you say such thing? Declare
plainly they seek a country. They seek a country. Read verse
15. If they had been mindful of that
country where they came from, that is, this place, this world,
once they came out, they might have had opportunity to have
returned. forgotten. Lot isn't. Now, at this man and
his wife, the Lord came to them and told them, I'm going to burn
this city up. Get out now. Now, Lot was just a man. That was their home town. That
was where they lived. That's where they worked. had their house, that's where
they had their children, that's where they had all their earthly
possessions, that was their home, Sodom! And many things about that place
they liked, they wouldn't have lived there, would they? Okay, but God said, I'm going
to destroy this place, get out! Like being a man, like any other
man. A little reluctant to go, you
know, but God. But God says the Lord laid hold
on Lot and said, I said, get out, you're coming out. See,
Lot wouldn't have lived if the Lord hadn't laid hold on him
and had mercy on him and said, Lot, my flesh is weak, but I'm
not willing that you should perish. That's what that verse of Scripture
means in 2 Peter 3, 9. He's not willing to do anything.
He said, Lot, out of your mind, and you're not going to be destroyed
in this city. You're coming out. I know there's
some things. I know you've got some roots here. Lot, come on
out. And he laid and took him out. Lot, here's what I say, walking
out. Walking out of town. And the Lord said, don't look
back. Don't look back. We just read there, it says that
they'd been mindful of those things. Lark was mindful. The Lord said to him, he's going
to destroy it. Don't look back. It's going to cease to be. Don't look back. Look right on. Let your eyes look straight forward.
Not to the right, not to the left. Look straight on. Ponder
the steps of your path. Go as quickly as you can. Hasten
to him. OK. What do you want, Lark? I believe
you. I don't want to let you know the rest
of the story. They've been mindful. But it
says they look for, look at it, a better country. A better country. It says that Lot was vexed. That
righteous man was vexed. What you see and hear in this
world is it vex you. Not that you're better than the
world. We were talking to an old fellow last night. We went
to dinner and he's an old drunk. He came up to us. Hey, how you
doing? I'm so-and-so. How you doing? Act like it. And
he just spewed word after word out of his mouth. But by the
grace of God, he'd been sitting where I was, and I'd been standing
there where he was. Nothing to do with me. But by
the grace of God, I tell you, he kept vexing. It was a time, though, when these
things didn't vex. You believe things didn't matter,
but. Paul's Peter said. You had you
ran in the same excess of riot. Remember that where you ran in
the same excess of right where Paul said you were children of
wrath, even as others. Despisers. Hating this, I sat
in the pew as an 18 year old boy, wanting the preacher to
quit. I did. Eighteen-year-old boy
wanting to preach, please stop your windbag. Didn't I? There's two witnesses. If you'd have told me, you'd
not only be going to hear the gospel voluntarily, you'd be
preaching it! You'd be the windbag! I said, well, they're saying
that you're crazy. Now, I won't do it. No, you won't.
But, God, you won't do it. You don't want to do it. Well, they can seek a better
country. God is not ashamed to be called
their God. Remember when God said this on you? I'm not your God. You're not
my son. You're not my daughter. This is serious, isn't it? Huh?
This is serious? And I'm trying to bring this
out with as much compassion, considering my own self. Time to show. It really is. That
never fails on, it's springtime comes around. Promise of new
life, isn't it? Springtime is a promise of new life. I always think about the end
of this life. Our Lord said, at a time when
you think not. Springtime, when the weather
warms up, people's hearts cool off toward the things of God. And they say, oh, let's go. That's
when Christ is coming. A time when you think not. Marrying,
giving, and marriage. And they didn't know until Like
Noah in the day, 120 years, everything is just going like it was. Back
in our text, and I'm going to quit, this old windbag is going
to quit, I promise. I promise. He said here in 2
Peter 3, he said, verse 3, there's going to come in the last days
scoffers walking after their own love. Where is the promise
of his coming? Why, everything is going just like it was. The
year 2000 went by. The whole world breathed a collective
sigh of relief. Even believers, you know, at
midnight, although they were looking forward to it, they were
glad when it ended. They were a little bit scared. But I knew, you knew he wasn't
coming in. You knew he wasn't. He's not going to come when man
thinks he is. No man knows you out. He knew
that. He said that. and wrote an article, and that's
exactly what he scoffed. He made light of it. Well, midnight
came, and Christ Jesus didn't come. That's what he said. Scoffers. Where's the promise
of his coming? Right here. Right here. Everything that's
been promised that was supposed to happen right up to this point
came true. And whatever is going to happen
according to his promise up to a certain point is going to come
true. He said heaven and earth will
pass away, not one word of mine shall fail. I'm coming. No man knows. I'm coming. I'm
coming to split the sky open. I'm coming. And my people who
died believing, they're coming. They're coming with me. Comfort one another with these
words. Warn those others, though. Warn them. But comfort your people
with these words. It's not coming out yet. The
whole thing, here's one thing, listen, here's one thing that
these scoffers plead, that everything's the same. See? Yeah, see? That sun out there, we don't
get outside. Charles and I were outside a
moment ago. Beautiful day, isn't it, Brother Charles? Beautiful
day. You know what makes that beautiful? There's a huge ball
of helium gas burning up there, a huge hydrogen ball. It's just burning. It's just
burning. There's a huge ball of hydrogen,
the biggest bomb, a zillion times bigger than an atomic bomb, just
burning. It's just burning. What's making
it burn? Life on this earth depends on
it. It stays in the same spot. If it moves one inch closer to
this earth, it turns it up. If this earth gets out of tilt,
its axis, it's gone. If the moon changes its course,
our tidal waves. If God withholds a rain for five
days, we don't have food. All things continue, see? Yes,
they do, by the mercy and grace of God. Men ought to be thanking
God that all things continue. Thank
you, Lord, for the sun that sustains my life, that grows my food,
that grows my clothes. I'm breathing. There's people
in the hospital now with emphysema. It's about over. I'm breathing. Why? The God in whose hands your
breath is. He said to Daniel, I give breath, take it away. And what is required of man? Solomon said, let's see the whole
duty of man. What is it? To thank God. To thank God. Everything's continuing, just
like it was. Yeah, why? According to his promise in Genesis
chapter 8, he said the sun, the moon are
going to keep on, the springtime and harvest are going to keep
on until that's it. That's the goodness of God, all
things continue. Yeah. Where is the promise of his coming?
Right here. And he says, you're not ignorant
of these things. You're not ignorant of these
things. You're not ignorant of these
things. I ran out of time. We can't go through the rest
of these verses, but we've been through them dozens of times.
Dozens of times, haven't we? You're not ignorant of these
things. Charles Ross, you're the oldest man in here, I believe.
Yep. You're not ignorant of these
things. You've heard this more than anybody. You're not ignorant
of these things. And he went on now in verse 17, saying that
you believe these things, and you look for these things. You
wouldn't be here, child, if you didn't believe these things.
Like I said, poor preacher notwithstanding, you're still here. Sit down. You know these things. But he
says, now, don't take it for granted. Be diligent to make your calling
and election sure. Be diligent that you're found
in Him, in peace, not having any spot and blame. Don't take
it for granted. Thank Him, but don't take it
for granted. Be diligent. Always about the Father's business.
He's coming. He's coming. Let me leave you
with this story. And you've heard it before, some
of you many times. I finally got my pastor to do
something for me. I had him sit down one day and
record on cassette all of his old illustrations. I've been
after him to do it for years. I said, you're going to die one
of these days, and I'm not going to have those illustrations. One time when he was here, he
spent about two hours in my study. and recorded all those, as many
as he could recall, on cassette tape, two whole cassette tape,
front and back, for me. I'm the envy of every preacher
in the United States. They've been begging me for those
things. Nope. I've got one copy and I ain't making another, until
I exhaust all the illustrations, he said. When I get through using
them, then you can have me. But he's told this, and I've
told There was a father who went to London on business years ago,
back in the horse and buggy days. He had his son with him, and
his father was a trustworthy, fine man. He took his son with
him, and his son adored his father, loved his father, believed his
father. took him to London, and he said, son, I'm going to let
you off right here at this store, and you can go in and look around,
do whatever you want to. I have business in town. Now,
you wait for me. I'm coming back. You stay right
there. I'm coming back. I'll be back to get you. And
so he did. He left him there and went, and
you know that father forgot that boy. My parents did that to me
one time. Left me in, where was I? In a
church house. Asleep on the pew. They went
home, turned the lights out, went home and everything. Nobody
there. I didn't wake up, thankfully.
Where's Paul? Anyway, they left that boy, he
left that boy and forgot him. And went almost all the way home,
and it took him hours to get back. By the time he was back
there, it was pitch black. Nobody was around. Not a soul
on the street. He said, I hope the boys won't
be there. Oh, I hope the boys won't be there. He drove that
buggy as fast as it could go and pulled up to the front. And
there was that boy sitting on the front step. He said, son,
you're here. He said, well, yeah, dad. This
is where he told me to wait. He said he's coming back. Told
me to wait. Here I am. Took you a long time. Wait, I say. Wait, I'm coming. I'm coming. I have my promise
on me. He didn't forget us. He's not
slack concerning his promise. It's all according to his time,
so he's not on that man's time schedule. He's not on any time
schedule, except for John. All right, let's sing. I think
I'm in close. Brother John. 266, 266. 266. We'll stand as we sing the first
and last verses. Faith may each earthly joy be
just as mine. Faith every tender thought be
just as mine. Dark is the wilderness, Earth
is a resting place. Jesus alone can rest. Jesus is my hope. Farewell, old palace, be. Jesus is my rest.
