I was really uncertain which
message to bring at which time today, one ten o'clock hour on Isaiah 59 or this one now from
Hebrews 11. As far as I'm concerned, there's
no difference between ten o'clock and eleven o'clock. None. And that's not like I prepare
the best messages for eleven o'clock. Save the best for last. Not at all. Not at all. There are times when ten o'clock
hour is over with that I think, let's just go home. It's been
said. What else can be said? And I
don't prepare messages with visitors in mind. There's no promise that
there will be any. Like today, there's not a one. Well, in Hebrews 11, now verse 6 needs
to be dealt with a little bit more fully. Because it's so important. What
he says here is life and death is salvation. What he says here
in Hebrews 11 verse 6 is salvation itself. Are you interested? Well, he says here in verse 6,
he says, Without faith it is impossible to please God. Without
faith it's impossible to please God. Now does that mean? If you
just believe sovereign grace, if you believe
that God is real, God is real, if you believe
that Jesus Christ came and died and so on, if you believe what
the Bible says, that you're saved. You cannot be saved without believing
those things. But he goes on to say here in
this verse that he goes on to describe faith. He goes on to
give an example, several examples. That's what this whole chapter
is about, examples of people that really believe God. How do you know they believe
God? Not what they do. Just like James
said, that you say, You believe, you're saved. Without works,
you're saved. He said, I'll show you my faith
by my blood. And that's what this is going
on. He's going to show us examples of people that really believe
God. And God's the one that did that. God's the one that wrote
that and said, Do you believe God now? Without faith, it's
impossible to believe God. All right? Here's how you know.
Here's how a person This is what a person will do if they really
believe God. All right, he says, Without faith
it's impossible to please God. Romans 14 verse 23 says, Whatsoever
is not of faith is sin. whatsoever is not of faith is
sin. It doesn't matter what it is.
It doesn't matter how good it seems to be. That's what he said,
Romans 14.23. Whatsoever is not of faith is
sin. That is, now, if we're not found
in Christ, accepted in the beloved, If we
do not have the righteousness which is of faith, the faith
of Jesus Christ, if we do not have that, if His blood is not
shed for the remission of our sins, if we do not have this
love of His shed abroad in our hearts, love for the truth, and
we're going to see how that's manifold. then it's impossible. Please God. Opposite is so, he's angry. Angry with everyone who does
not, who has not. Now unacceptable, rejected by
God, a young and old alike, despised by God. Hated. Now, we saw last Sunday
I quoted to you that verse that says, even the plowing of the
wicked is evil in the sight of the Lord. I mean, the good old,
honest, hard-working farmer out there plowing his field, if he's
not found in Christ, he's evil in the sight of the Lord, and
what he's doing is wrong. That's serious. It's whatsoever
is not of faith is sin. It's impossible to please God.
God, we better learn what faith is, don't you? Without it, it's
impossible to please God. God is not pleased. He's highly
displeased. It's not going to be all right.
It's not peace, peace. God has wonderful. Oh, it's not
that at all. Impossible to please God. Why
is that? Why do we keep insisting, talking
about character of God and so on. Every time we preach, we talk
about God being holy. Just why? Well, because he is. That's why. Because he is. You
can't describe God. You can't talk about God unless
you first talk about his chief attribute or character. He's
holy because he is and because Most preachers are not saying
that. So we're loudly declaring that
point which very few are declaring. It is. He's holy. That's where
the Gospel starts. God loveth righteousness and
hateth iniquity. God's of two pure eyes that look
on iniquity. God looketh on the heart, Scripture
says. And without being made holy or
righteous by Jesus Christ, without Him making us holy and righteous,
God hates us. As plain as that, He hates us.
Without faith, it's impossible to please God. Without this righteousness
of Christ imputed to us, God hates us. Now, is that just a
doctrine? Well, Paul said in Romans 10, he said, this is people
that are zealous for God. They have a zeal toward God.
No, they're sincere. They're very sincere. Faith for ourselves. In Romans
10, verse 1, he says, they have a zeal for God, but they're ignorant.
It's not according to knowledge. They're ignorant of God's righteousness
and going about to establish their own. That means self-righteousness. And no matter who it is, no matter
how sincere they are, no matter how it looks, they're either
trusting Christ alone They're either trusting Jesus Christ,
who He is and what He did and where He is now, alone, completely, one hundred
percent, not ninety-nine, one hundred percent trusting Christ
alone, or they've got some self-righteousness. And God's out to take them. That's
how serious it is. It's more than doctrine. It's a lie. Without faith, it's impossible
to please God. Read on here, verse 6. It says,
"...for he that cometh to God must believe that he is." All
right? Many talk about coming to God. People talk about believing God,
worshiping God, coming to God. I talked to God, or I called
on God, or I prayed to the Lord, or coming to God, you know. He
found God. Oh, did he? Did he? I talked
to God. Oh, did you? Now, I came to God. How'd you do that? Describe Him
to me. Who is He? I believe God. Do
you? Tell me about it. Without this faith, now, it's
impossible to come unto God. This is what must be. Read on,
"...he that cometh to God must believe that he is." Why do we continually declare
who God is? Because if you don't know, if
we don't know, if we don't believe, I mean, from the heart that He
is God, we're lost. That's how serious it is. God is God. holy, just, sovereign. All right? Now, who else is God?
We must believe that He is. Who is? What? He, who? He, it is, who? This is He. Of whom? The prophets
came with Him. He. When people sat down one
time and gazed up at a man hanging on a cross and said, and sitting
down, they watched Him there. Who? Him. Who is He? Who is He? Well, he that cometh
to God must believe that He is. Christ said in John 8, verse
24, He said, If you believe not that I am, you will die in sin. But you are what? That He is.
Not that he just exists, but that he is God. Not that
just he's the son of God. He's God manifesting again. He's God. Even the disciples
were confused about this. In John 14, they said, Lord,
show us the way. He said, I have the way. He said, show us
the way. He said, I go to prepare a place
for you. I go to the Father, go to prepare
a place for you. He said, well, show us how to
get there, how to get to God. He said, I am. Philip said, well, show us the
Father. He said, Philip, I've been so long time with you, and
you haven't known me. He could have seen me. He that cometh to God must believe
that He is, who is, Jesus Christ is, who the everlasting Father
is. Call His name. Coming to God now, she said,
No man cometh unto the Father but thou, thy mate. Why's that? If you're going to
come to God, you've got to go to God. You come unto God, you come to
Christ, because He is God. You say, I don't understand,
preacher. I don't either. That's what it
says. Nobody understands fully. But he that cometh to God must
believe that He is, that He is, no less than God, no less, equal
to the Father. Now, listen, God is Spirit. God is spirit. We're flesh. No
man, scripture says, no man hath seen God at any time. This is
what throws the so-called Jehovah Witnesses and all these other
cults. This is what throws them, verses
like that. No man hath seen God at any time. So, and I've had
them argue with me, well, if Jesus Christ is God, then he
can't be God. No man's seen God at any time. Well, God is Spirit, yes, but
God was manifest in flesh. God robed His Spirit in a body,
and He came down here. Just because He was robed in
flesh doesn't mean He was flesh. He just robed His Spirit so flesh
can see Him. You understand? And we never will
see God, will we? Will we? Scripture says no man can see
God. Will we? Job said, I'm going
to see Him with my eyes. God! Who's he going to see? John said, I saw it. Who? It
was like a lamb. Son of God, manifest in the flesh. Right, because we're always going
to be flesh. You know that? We're always going to be flesh.
Isn't that right? Huh? You're going to give us
a new body? Like unto the old, yet without
sin? Isn't that right? That's what the Scripture says.
We're always going to be flesh. How are we ever going to see
God? God can maintain that body. He that cometh to God must believe
He is. No man has seen God. The only
begotten Son, He hath declared God. He hath declared He is God. God manifests in the flesh. Anyone
who desires to know God, speak to God, be spoken to by God,
live with God, they must believe Jesus Christ is God. All right? John 14, 1, he said,
You believe in God? Believe also in God. Believe in God? Yeah, we're Jehovah's
Witnesses. He is Jehovah. Sikh, Jinnah,
Shammah, Raya, Raphael. Now, in Jurian, this is through
God and our Savior. They must believe that He is.
He, to come unto God, must believe that He is. Be way, be truth,
be life, be Lord, our righteous, the only man approved of God.
Now, these are not merely questions of theology, but the difference
between knowing the true God and the one whom he hath sent
over that bodily manifestation. And he that cometh to God, read
it with me now, he that cometh to God, read on here, verse 6,
he that cometh to God, Scripture says, to whom cometh? To whom
cometh? To Christ cometh. Must believe that He is, and
He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. All right? You believe everything that I
said just now up to this point? Do you? Or what did you? I quote the Scripture, haven't
I? Do I quote my opinion? All right, this is how you know.
This is how you know if somebody really believes God. All right? That's not just the head knowledge.
Here, I believe that preacher. Let's just do it. That's good.
Good preaching. All right. You must believe He
is and. It's a big little word there,
and, and. Salvation hinges on this
little word, and. This is how you know, and. He,
God, is a rewarder of them, those that come to God, those that
come to Christ, those that believe that He is. God is a rewarder
of them that diligently seek Him. You with me? Somebody, give me a diligent
seeker. Make me a diligent seeker. He's
a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. All right? What pleases
God? Faith. Without faith, it's impossible
to please God. Faith without works is dead.
How do you know faith is faith? Him that diligently seeks it. That's the reason we read
Psalm 34. David said, I sought the Lord. This poor man cried. Lord heard
him. I sought the Lord. Now, Psalm
27, verse 4, he said, One thing have I desired of the Lord, and
that will I seek. that I may dwell in the house
of the Lord all the days of my life, behold the beauty of the
Lord, and inquire into His temple." And on down there in verse 7
and 8, he said, You told me, Seek my face. This is Psalm 27. Thou said, Seek my face, and
so what did I say? David said, Well, I'm a diligent
seeker, not proudly, not presumptuously, but just doing what God said
by His grace. David said, You said, Seek my
face, for that's what I'm going to do. Die faithful, I said. Psalm 119, verses 9 and 10 says,
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed
thereunto. According to the Word, taking
heed, listening, sitting up, listening very carefully what
the Word said, taking heed according to the Word. And then the next
verse says this, and I never quoted this in conjunction with
that. Listen to it. Here's the next verse in Psalm
119. Wherewithal shall a young man, young woman, cleanse their
way, that is, be found of God Holy, righteous, accepted by
God by taking heed according to thy word. Here's the next
verse. With my whole heart have I sought thee. With my whole heart. Now listen
to this. Listen to this verse of Scripture
in Proverbs. The Proverbs says, Out of the
heart are the issues of life. Out of the heart, not the head.
The heart. And listen to this. Psalm 84
says this. Psalm 84, verse 2 says this. He said, My heart and my flesh
cry out to Thee, O God. My heart, now you see, they're
vitally connected. Out of the abundance of the heart,
the mouth speaketh. A man who's seeking God, a young
person, a woman, whoever's seeking God, crieth out to God. My heart and my flesh crieth
out to God. Listen, listen to me now. We
can't say that our heart is in this. if our flesh is not. In other words, whatever a man
or a woman or a young person is into, really into, that's
where they are. You follow me? Whatever we're
really into. The word diligent means craving. Whatever we really crave, that's
where we'll be. We'll be going after it. A very
simple illustration. A person really wants to get
in and see a ball game or see a race, a car race, or see a
music concert or whatever. If they really, really want to
see that person or that thing, they'll stand in line. That's
where they'll be. Do what they say. Just that. Nor can we say, listen, we can't
say, There are hearts in it, just because our flesh is. I've seen many a body in the
pew, but that's all that was there. Right at this moment. Just because bodies are in the
pew, doesn't mean hearts are. But you can't have both. There's
my heart and my flesh. And this is what we're going
to talk about for a few more minutes, okay? I've only been 15. It says, He's a rewarder of them
that diligently seek Him. Diligently. Now look at that
word, seek what? Not of what? Him. Him. Now everybody's interested
in heaven, I think. Huh? He's not a rewarder of them
that seek in heaven. Everybody likes to get religion,
you know, like to quit their bad and evil ways and straighten
up and get religion, you know. It makes a person feel good.
He got religion. That's not, that's not it. Fire escape? Nobody wants to
go to hell. Everybody wants, needs a way
out, needs an insurance policy. That's not it. Once again, Psalm 27, he said,
One thing have I desired of the Lord, and that will I seek after,
that I may dwell in the courts of the Lord, the house of the
Lord, to behold, what? The beauty of the Lord. Yeah! Fannie Crosby never saw anything
in this world. She was born blind. She never saw anything in this
life. She never saw. And she said in that song, she
said, oh, someday I'm going to see. When by His dredge I shall look
on His face, that will be glory. Heaven, she couldn't say, oh,
a palace. She'd never even seen one. Oh,
you ought to see our place. She'd never seen one. Red, blue, yellow, sky, look
at the sky, Fanny. Can't see it. I'm blind. Look at me, Fanny. Don't I look
good? You all look the same to me. I'm blind. Well, you're looking forward
to seeing, Fanny. She saw all the things she needed
to see in this life. Him. She never saw a picture of Jesus.
She saw Him, honey. Oh, she never saw the light,
did she? She was in darkness all her day,
but she saw Him. But now she sees clearly, doesn't
she? Why? She sees Him. Anybody seen Him? Taken up with
Him. Nothing else. All greet our hymns. Sing our
hymns. That's all. She was the theme of her hymn.
Her desire. One thing in my desire to belong.
That's what I'm going to write hymns about. Hymns about Him.
He's a rewarder of them that seek diligently Him. This whole religious world is
seeking heaven, mama. Believers seek Him. Him. He's altogether loved. He's all
I need. All I need. Well, He's been the
diligent man. Diligent. What's diligent's name?
Okay? Diligent. What's diligent's name?
He's a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. Now, people,
part of this diligence is sitting up right now and listening very
carefully to what I'm about to say about diligence. You're not
diligently seeking unless you absolutely give me your undivided
attention. Diligence, what is it to diligently
seek? He's a rewarder, then, of diligence.
Diligent, not half-hearted, not part-time, not sometimes, not
one time, but diligent. What is it? Let me give you an
example. When I was courting that young woman, used to be young,
she was now in her 40th year on this earth, but at one time
she was very young. Well, that young lady that I
was courting years ago, 23 years ago, She was the one I desired. I
craved her. I had to have her. So what did I do? I called her. How much, how often
did I call you? Huh? Was there a day that went
by? I diligently called her. I visited her. How often? We enjoyed a little anniversary
dinner together last night. We were reminiscing how it was
time for me to go when I was at her house. It was time two
or three hours before that. And she said, don't go. I said,
I don't want to. Oh, don't go. I don't want to.
One more kiss for the road. OK. Make it two. I visited her. I just couldn't
tear myself away from her. Couldn't wait to get off the
caboose to run to her. Is that not right? Why? I loved her. I diligently went
after her. I forsook all others. I had no
friends for three years while I dated her. One of them would
call me, this is John, your best friend. Huh? John, like the boys
are going out tonight. Sorry. There's one I want to be with.
Y'all have fun. Let me ask you a little. Do I have
her? Is she mine? Why? I diligently sought her. Huh? Now how do you get the picture? You want Christ? You'll go where He is every time He's there. Somebody says, I don't know Christ.
I'm interested in the gospel. Are you now? Are you now? I remember, and please believe
me when I say this, this is all by His sovereign grace. Anybody
who seeks Him is because God made them do so in the day of
His power. He gets all the glory. But Joe, the fact is, he put
this in the Bible and said, you're not going to find it unless you
build him a city, where the rubber meets the road. As a young man,
the Lord started revealing Himself to me. I went where that gospel
is being preached. I heard my pastor was going to
preach somewhere. Can I go? I just thought, I'll
sit in the back seat. Here is a good message by Sproul.
Where is it? Let me see. I'll read it. Conference
going on. Really? I'm going...Billy Joel. See? Billy Joel. All upon it, I called her Bailey,
nearly seeking Christ, all on it. Now, people, I have trouble
with this, that this is not scriptural for a person to be seeking the
Lord for years and not find Him. No, sir. No, sir. No, sir. You won't find examples
like that in the scriptures. No, sir. I don't know of anybody who really
sought Him. Now I know the Lord begins a
work, begins it with an interest and all that, but people, people
that have begun a good work will do it. It's a revealing step
too. Here's the facts of the matter. Diligent. Diligent is good always.
Constantly. Lifelong. And I still call you? Huh? I still call you? I'm gone? Ain't a length of time? Do I still call you? We've been
married a hundred years. Do I still call you? Huh? I'll never go anywhere for
a whole day in the storm. Why? I love her. I'm married
to her. And I just sat there, and I just
sat there. It wouldn't matter if I didn't think about it, if
I didn't follow along, if I'd rather be with somebody else.
I don't bother, fully on that. Huh? Diligently! And I told you last
week how the diligent means crazy, crazy. And it also means demanding. It means demanding. When I asked her to marry me,
I wasn't so much asking as demanding. She said, no. I said, well, we'll see about
that. I will not let you go until you
marry me. Now, that's crazy. That's crazy. That is definitely a crazy thing.
I will not let you go until you marry me. One person, you want to know
Christ. Oh, I'm praying, I'm calling,
where are you now? Christ said, go home, get in
your closet, and don't come out. That's what he said. That's how I got up. That's what Martin
used to say, I double dog married. That's what Martin used to say,
I double dog married. Look at the example he gave of
Noah. Alright? I've been thirty minutes
now. Can you give me ten more? Just ten. Less than the allotted
southern Baptist forty-five minutes. I'll be still forty. But they'll
hold their tongue. Alright? Look at the example
the Lord gave. Alright? He says, Then to diligently
seek him, he says, by faith, Noah. I say to no one, being
warned of God, that things not change, yet little of them flourish. Things not change, but God told
me. How do you know these things
are so? Well, Noah, God told Noah he
was going to destroy the world and to build an ark and save
himself and his family. It's going to rain and floods
going to come and everybody's going to be destroyed, but those
are in the ark. All right, did Noah believe God?
Did he? Did Noah believe God? How do
you know? Yes, he believed. Oh, he was
a preacher of righteousness. How do you know? Look at the
next one. Noah being warned of God of things
not seen as yet, with fear. How long do you think
it took Noah to start working on that ark? Huh? Come on. God said to him,
Noah, I'm going to destroy this planet with a flood, and I'm
holding it. Now, I'm angry with the way he
never dies. I hate all workers in this world. Noah, build an army, boat, ship. The only place of safety is a
picture of Christ. The Ark of Satan. Only those
in Christ are going to be spared, saved. Noah, build an ark that
fits your family in that ark. Save yourselves and them. How
long did it take? When do you think it started? Come on. When do you think it
started? Noah took off for the Shed, grabbed
his hammer, and his nail and his apron, I guarantee you, and
tore out of there. And where do I begin? Moved with fear, being warned
of God, diligently seeking. All right, here I go. Here I go. Diligent means urgent. Diligent means urgent. Diligent
means ancient. Diligent means early. Early. If God told him that night,
how early do you reckon, when do you reckon he woke up? Yeah,
when do you think he got up? Think he slept in till eleven?
Oh, one more, one more. Just one more to hit the alarm
clock on snooze, you know. Just two more minutes. I didn't carry a line of confidence
ever before. Thy face will I see. Old Brother Bruce Crabtree, he
told me this when he was here at the conference. He said, you
know, he said, a man ought to, listen to this, he said, before
you see any man's face, you ought to see God. For you behold, any man sayeth
but to God early. Say that Proverbs 8, 17,
They that seek me early shall find. Ladies, girls, and let me use
this illustration again, okay? If a man or a young fellow says
he's interested in you and he loves you, but he's often late in coming
over to visit you, he's late picking you up all
the time. But if sometimes he doesn't even show up, don't you dare marry him. He doesn't love you. Don't you dare. If He loves you, He'll be there
early, waiting on your doorstep. Is that a good illustration,
or is it not? Huh? Don't marry Him. And listen
to me, Jesus Christ is no guilted lover. He's not sitting in heaven,
waiting, I sure hope to call on me. Huh? He's not standing at the heart's
door, you know, knocking, and, oh, he won't let him in. They're
sleeping in. I know the story of the Shulamitan maiden, but
I've talked to the church. It gets in a bad way. But the
sinner, unbeliever, he's not waking up. He doesn't have to save anybody.
He doesn't save anybody. He's not waking on anybody. He's not waking on anybody. He's seated on a throne
right now. And I tell you what, Scripture
says, it says for us to do the knocking. It says for us to do
the knocking. And you know, and there's another
Scripture that says, mayhaps, mayhaps, perhaps, he'll get up
and open his door. He doesn't have to. See, that's
the urgency of this knocking. He doesn't have to get up. He's
sitting down and nobody, he doesn't have to be disturbed by anybody. And that's the way it is. That's
the way it is now. That's the Jesus Christ description.
He's sitting down and we do the knocking. And He may get up and
He might not. But I tell you what this first
description says. They say diligently, they say,
Jesus. He'll get up! You want something? Yes! Mercy! There you go. That's the way it is. Diligence. Noah moved with fear. He believed, therefore he feared.
He moved, he was in a hurry. You know, the story has it that
the Titanic—I got your attention now, don't I? Titanic. The story
has it. that when that ship, after it
struck that iceberg, and by the way it was hidden, the parts
that destroyed it weren't hidden, but when that boat struck that
iceberg, that ship struck that iceberg, the story has it that
most people went on doing what they were doing in spite of all
the warnings. that many people sat in the dining
room eating and all that and refused to heed the warning.
This boat's going down. That's supposedly true. No one being warned of God. Who? With fear. There's a lifeboat. Huh? Where is it? We've been warned and warned
and warned, haven't we? Young and old alike. Get in the
ark. Get in the ark. Christ is in
the ark. This ship's going down, people. This old world is going
down. Don't you see it? It's barely treading
water right now. Get in the ark. Get in the ark. And it says, read on, it says,
He prepared an ark for the saving of His house. Any parent who
really believes that this gospel is salvation, that our children
must have Christ or forever perish. Oh, my soul. You reckon they'll
make them sit in church Huh? One of those families on that
Titanic, there you go, got you again. Titanic, one of those
fathers, the boat was going down, he knew it, and there's a life
preserver, what to do? Get this life preserver on. Where
you going? Quit that foolishness. Come on,
man. This is what Noah, this is what
the scriptures talk about, talking about it by the way, and what
God told Moses to do when his children are in there. When you
rise up and you sit down and you talk, walk by the way and
remind them, the boat's going down. Look at this, it says he
condemned the world. I'm not just preaching at you.
I'm not just getting excited. I'm not just got into preaching
mode, you know, and screaming and yelling and all. This is
soul. This is faith. This is faith. This is not... Without faith, it's impossible
to please God. What is faith? Noah being warned
of God, moved with fear. It says, "...and by which he
condemned the world." He condemned the world. He condemned the world. It doesn't matter what everybody...nobody
believed like he did. Nobody believed like Noah did,
didn't they? Everybody that passed by said,
that's foolishness, isn't it? No, what you're doing, you're
the only one around here building a boat. What do you need a boat
for? That's all you ever do is work on that boat, that ark.
That's all you ever talk about, that ark. No, you're a fool. I'm going to be a saved fool. And then the world, He was crucified
to the world, and the world to Him. I don't care what everybody
says. I don't care what everybody says.
I don't care. I don't care how old-fashioned it sounds. I don't
care if nobody believes it. I don't care what the newspapers
say. God said, I believe it. Bam, bam, bam, bam. Now look at his end. He looks in. Here's Noah singing,
He became heir of the righteous, which is not right. Oh my goodness. He started out in a wooden boat. He ended up in a glorious palace, heaven itself. You know, the
Titanic is a, you remember that little
short article on the world, you know, taken up
with the Titanic. Not long ago, they were taken
up with Noah's Ark, you know, those little trinkets that everybody
put on their coffee tables and wore on their lapels. But there's a profound thing
in this, that we're found in one of those two boats. Isn't that profound? It's true. We're in one of those ships,
the luxurious, glorious Titanic. Isn't it beautiful? A man that
made this, man made all, glorious. There's nothing like that. Impressive. Isn't it impressive what man
has done? Now isn't it impressive? Isn't
it beautiful while it's all glittery and all the glitters and nothing?
This ship is unsinkable. Unsinkable! That's what they
say. Unsinkable. Let me have a ticket. Let me
on board. Oh, I want to ride that ship
across to the promised land. On board the Titanic, I'm so
impressed you're going down! Well, there's old Noah. A wooden boat? What's that all over it? Tar? Pitch? It's put together with
tar? What's on it? Who's on it? Where are they going? That won't float. One of those boats is floating. It's still floating. We're either on one of those
ships or the other. The world? Oh, isn't it beautiful?
Are you impressed with it? If he can answer it, he'll ride
on it, ride with it, and go down. But Christ is the answer. Joe, what's that here? 388. 388.
