Fourth verse. And when my task
on earth is done, when by thy grace the victories won, in death's
cold day I will not Since God through Jordan leadeth me, He
leadeth me, He leadeth me. A miracle man, He leadeth me. Okay, back to Deuteronomy 8. Deuteronomy 8. I've entitled
this message Remember and forget not. Remember and forget not. He says that several times throughout
this chapter. Over in Isaiah 62, there's a
verse which says, You that make mention of the Lord. give him
not rest day or night." In other words, and in the margin it says,
those who make mention of the Lord are called the Lord's Remembrancers. You remember reading that? The
Lord's Remembrancers. That's what he calls preachers
of the gospel, or those who witness it. The Lord's remembrances,
continually reminding the people, bringing to their remembrance
all the Lord is and has done. That's what our Lord said the
Holy Spirit does, didn't it, in John 14? He said the Holy
Spirit shall bring to remembrance all things that I've said. every Spirit-inspired message
must remind us of the person and work of our God. All right,
Deuteronomy 8, the Lord is speaking through Moses here, and he commands
the people. He does not ask of us. He commands
us, Remember. Now, remember Forget not. Rolf Barnard preached
a message one time, and it was entitled God's Blood
Hound. And what he said was God's Blood
Hound was memory, remembering. He used that illustration our
Lord gave of the rich man in hell. and Abraham talking with them.
And do you remember what Abraham said to him that surely must have cut him to the
heart? He was a worm that died not. Son, remember. In thy days, thy
head, all these things, and so forth. Do you remember that?
Remember. And so he tells us here, don't
forget, but remember. All right, now this is directed
at God's people. Verse 1, he says, All the commandments
which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that
ye may live, and multiply, and go in, and possess the land which
the Lord sware unto your fathers. All the commandments do that
you may live. So are you saying if we keep
the law, we'll go to heaven? Is that what you're saying? If
we do what he tells us to do, we'll be saved? Is that what
he's saying? No. He's talking to people who have
already been delivered from bondage. See, the Israelites are a type
of God's people. Whenever you read through the
Old Testament the story of the Israelites, these things were
written for our example. They are types. They are a type,
a picture of God's people. being taken out of the bondage
of sin, under the dominion of sin and Satan and the law, and
being led through the wilderness, which is this world, and finally
entering into the promised land. That's God's people. So you see,
they weren't saved because they kept the law. The law hadn't
even come yet. You see that? I mean, they were taken out of
Egypt, John. The law hadn't been given yet.
They'd already been taken out. So you see, he's talking to people
who are already delivered, a chosen people. They'd been given God's
Word, given to God's mediator, Moses, their deliverer. And like I said, this is a picture
of salvation, because salvation is not by us keeping the law,
it's by Jesus Christ keeping the law forever and dying the
death we deserve. And we're saved by trusting Christ,
period. Not by keeping the law. We're
saved by Jesus Christ doing that for us. I believe everybody in
here at least knows that in our head, all right? But, now wait
a minute. Now that's faith. Saving faith
is trusting Christ, period. But the whole book of James is
devoted to this truth. Faith without works is dead. There's nothing to it. So what
he's saying here, this is proof that you are my people. See that,
Brother Stan? This is proof that you are my
people. That you will keep my commandment.
Did not Christ say that, Vicki? Didn't he say, he that hath my
commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me. Didn't
he? Oh, yeah. This is proof. Proof. God's people
love his commandments and endeavor to keep them, and his commandments
are not grievous. Look back at chapter six. Look
at some of these commandments. His commandment, when we think
of God's commandments, we think of the strictness, the harshness
of it, thou shalt not, and we think how we've broken it, don't
we? Whatever the law says, it says
we're guilty. It makes us guilty. But listen,
his commandments really are not grievous. They're good. David said they're good, they're
right, they're just, they're true. Verse 4, Here, O Israel, the
Lord our God is one Lord. Here it is, verse 5, Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thine heart and with all thy
soul. Is that grievous? Others say, Oh, that's too hard.
Oh, John, that's the desire of my heart. Isn't it? I want that
more than anything. Don't you John Cheeseman? Is
that a hard thing? Oh no, that's a wonderful thing.
And I wish he would write it on my heart. The love of God,
the fear, shed it abroad in my heart. Don't you? Look over at,
look at verse 13. Look down there. Thou shalt fear
the Lord thy God and serve him. I want to fear him, Joe, don't
you? I want to serve him, don't you? Swear by his name. What does
that mean? He told us not to swear by his
name, didn't he? What that means is say, if the Lord will. That's
exactly what that means. If the Lord will. That's what
that means. Verse 14, you shall not go after other gods, the
gods of the people around about you. I don't want them. They
can have them. They're not my God. I don't want
them. Do you? Don't go after them. Oh, it's fine with me. There
are no gods at all. Verse 18, Thou shalt do that
which is right and good in the sight of the Lord. That's what
I want to do. That's exactly what I want to do, don't you?
What's right and good. That it may be well with thee.
You know, practically speaking, Nancy,
if a person do what God says, it'd be well with them. It wouldn't? It sure would. It sure would. Read on. Look at verse 20. When thy son
asked you in time to come, saying, What's all this about, these
statutes and testimonies and judgment? What's this word of
God about which the Lord commanded you? Well, you'll tell them,
verse 21, Say unto thy son or thy daughter, We were Pharaoh's
bondmen in Egypt. We were sold unto sin. In darkness,
the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. It's the
word of our God. We want to keep it. The Lord
delivered us. All right, back to chapter 8.
And those are just a few. Those are just a few. These commandments
aren't grievous, are they, Deborah? Huh? If you just wanted to take the
Ten Commandments, I don't want to kill. I don't want to take
my Lord's name in vain, do you? all these things? I don't want
to have any other God before me, do you? I want to worship
the Lord, my God. I want to love my neighbor, don't
you? Nothing grievous about that, nothing hard about that. It's not the laws. No problem
with the law is it's the weakness of the flesh, the weakness of
the flesh. And that's what Paul, and I'm
not careful, I'll stay right there, but Paul said, is the
commandment evil for me? No, no, it's the
weakness of flesh. I'm the problem, it's not the
law. All right? Thank God Christ came and fulfilled
it perfectly. All right, verse 1 now, chapter
8, he says now, observe and do. that he said, which the Lord
sware unto your father. All right, verse 2, And thou
shalt remember all the ways which the Lord thy God led thee these
forty years. Do you remember the pit from
which you were Do you remember, Joe, just how
far, how far away from God you were and how far he brought you?
All the way he brought you. We love that song, don't we?
When he reached down for me. Wait, how far did he reach for
some of you? Polly, what were you like when
God found you? that he would have to reach down
in the muck and the mire and get you, like me, I believe you,
just like me, way down. He said, we don't feel like we've
come too far now, but he brought us a long way, hasn't
he? From darkness into his marvelous
light, from the pit to the pew, from a sinking sand to what, Joe? Standing on a rock. Religion is always shifting sand. There is no real solid foundation. He brought you to Christ and
stood you on the rock, and you've been there ever since. He hadn't
moved one inch. From a way that seemed right,
when the end would have been destruction to you, to the the
truth and the life. He said, this is the way. Now
walk in it. A way that seemed right, you
know, and it changes all the time, doesn't it, John? The way
the religion is going to change every day. With every new wind
of doctrine. Here, you got this? No, I ain't
got that. Let me go here. You got this? No, I ain't got
that. Christ says, come unto me. Rest. Stay put. Right here. It's come a long way, hasn't
it? Well, He brought us a long way. He's brought us all the
way. My Savior has led me. Forty years. Some of you are over 40. Some
of us are over 40. Like Jill back there, 46, if
you didn't know. Over 40 years, he's kept us,
sustained us, provided for us, restrained us. You women could have been a harlot on the
street. You men could have been a drug addict. It starts to say
the sky's the limit, the gutter's the limit where we could have
been. Right? The gutter's the limit.
The restraining grace. You ever thought about the restraining
grace of God? What he kept us from doing? Being? And where we are now? Why did
he do this? Look at verse 2. Why did he do
this? Verse 2 says, he brought us,
he led us 40 years in the wilderness to humble days. That's the purpose of God's salvation,
really, while we're on this earth. You see, he that is humbled or
abased will be what? Exalted, the scripture says. He that is humbled shall be exalted. Because listen to this verse.
I remember this verse since the day I read it. In Isaiah it says,
"...the Lord of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all
glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth." And the scripture says in Proverbs
6, six things doth the Lord hate, yea, seven are an abomination
to him. proud look. And God has determined,
that's what that verse says, He's determined to stain the
pride of all glory. That's what this, our generation
is in this thing. Proud. That's what 1st Corinthians,
or 1st Timothy 3, describing our generation all the way through
there. 2 Timothy 3 describes our generation, proud, haughty,
monsters. This is the I generating the
me. I can, you know, I can do it. I can. That's the reason God's going
to burn this planet up. Why? Because everything every
son of Adam has, he received it from God. I mean every morsel
of food, an article of clothing, and bit of information in their
head, and the faculties, everything is from God. The Scripture says,
what do we have that we have not received? Now, if we received
it, why are we glorious if we have not received it? You see, God's not hard for destroying
this planet someday, because men boast of what they are and
what they do. Let not the wise man glory in
his wisdom, and the mighty man in his mighty strength. Glory
in me, he said. I am the Lord. By the grace of
God, I am one hand. By the grace of God, I'm saved.
I mean 100% grace, I'm saved. By the grace of God, I know what
I know. The only reason I know this gospel,
and I'm not this, like those fellows said, these Arminians, is by the grace of God. The only
reason I have what I have, the only reason I'm born in the land
of plenty, and not born in Egypt. The only reason my name is Paul
Mahan and live in plenty, and my name's not Shredhar and Callistus,
scraping to make ends meet, scraping to get my next meal, is by the
grace of God Almighty. I mean the sovereign, distinguishing,
discriminating grace. 100%. Didn't we read that? He
said, no, we didn't read that. Yeah, we did. He said, I gave
you the power to get well. Isn't it? This is the reason God is angry
with the wicked every day. It's all the sovereign grace
of God, and why? For Christ's sake. If God hadn't
determined to send his Son down here, he wouldn't have put up
with Adam for a minute. He'd have wiped him out, let
alone this whole Adamic, damnable human race, would he? It's all for Christ's sake. Like
old Mephibosheth. When he appeared before David,
what David said, he said, I'm going to spare you. You're a
son of Saul, and if you were given your free will to do what
you would, you'd tear me off the throne, but I'm going to
save you for Jonathan's sake. and not just save you. That's
not what, the Lord didn't just save us, but like Mephibosheth,
set his table. Now let's read some of that here.
He said he fed thee, he suffered thee, verse 3. Here's the first
thing, he humbled you, and he suffered thee to hunger. He suffered thee to hunger. Ah boy, We need to get hungry, don't
we? He suffered us to hunger. Look at verse 2. It says, God
did this to humble thee. No wonder it wasn't in my notes.
I passed it over. Here's the two reasons. To humble
thee and to prove thee. I was skipping verses, wasn't
I? Those are the two reasons. He
humbles us by this salvation and to prove us. Verse 2. To
prove us. to know what was in thine heart, whether you would keep his commandments
or not. The scripture says out of the
heart are the issues of life. It's easy to be religious. Everybody's
That's what our Lord said about his generation, and I say about
mine. This people draw near to me with
their lips, but their heart is far from them. Out of the heart,
perceive the issues of life. Religion is not all about looking
a certain way or acting a certain way or going to church and this
and that. It's about a heart filled with need, hunger and
thirst after the righteousness, a heart filled with love to the
God of all glory. It's a poor, wretched, vile,
empty, naked sinner needing a handout. A heart knowing that. To prove what was in your heart.
You see, some of these Israelites proved that their affection wasn't
set on things above, was it? Didn't it? First, little inconveniences
came along. What'd they do? Oh, go back to
Egypt, didn't they? They went without, you know,
they went without, maybe went one day without gorging themselves. And they said, oh, we want the
leeks and onions. We loathe this light bread. They
had their affections set on Egypt. Others just maybe wanted a piece
of land in Jordan. You reckon that's a possible
stand? They just wanted freedom from Egypt and a piece of land
in Jordan. And some people get religion,
you know, just to quit this or quit that or start a new life
or whatever. But Joshua and Caleb, Joshua and Caleb, they followed
God because they loved God. Right? not what they get out of it. Well, that's the reason. Now,
you see, this is what this is all about. That's what trials,
that's what everything is going to do. It's going to humble us,
bring us down to the point where we don't have anything but Him. And He's going to find out where
our heart is. Trials Trials weed out the sheep
from the goats and the tares from the wheat. They sure do. And a trial doesn't have to be
something tough. It can be prosperity. Like those
examples I gave, saying a new house, a new car, a new job.
Don't need to go for them. That's a trial. Right? It doesn't have to be something hard, temptation. Well, I read on here in verse
3, now, he said, He humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger.
He suffered thee to hunger. God brings every one of his children
to this point, to hunger and thirst, after Christ, after the
gospel, after the truth. Doesn't he? It says here, He
suffered thee to hunger, verse 3, and fed thee with manna which
ye knew not. Gave you a gospel you'd never
heard of before. Made you hungry. Some of you
sitting right here, when the Lord started to deal with you.
Joe, I'm thinking of you. I thought of you when this verse
popped up. When the Lord started dealing
with you, before you heard the gospel, he made you hungry, but
you didn't know what he was hungry for. Is that the way it was, Nancy? Didn't he say something like,
this has got to be better than this? When he was in that mess
up there, eating the husks and fighting the goats? Huh? That's when you went home at
night, fussing and fighting, and sat on your bed and said,
it's got to be better than this. Something like that, you said.
It started making you hungry. and it fed you. With manna you
didn't know anything about. Oh my, manna you didn't know
about, a gospel you'd never heard before and you said, this is
just what I needed. And look at it, verse 3, neither
did your fathers know. They didn't know it either. Some
of them still don't know it. As a matter of fact, most in
here don't know it. Who make a Most of your fathers don't know
the gospel, do they? We're in a minority here, Mr.
Sam. Who makes us to differ? Ah, boy. And it says here, it says that
he might make thee to know that man doth not live by bread only,
or that is, this world's not life This is not what living
is, truly, but it's by every word that proceeds out of the
mouth of God. What's that? Who's that? Christ, the living Word. He said,
I'm the bread of life. This is life more abundant. Isn't it? How much joy you get
out of this life, Deborah? You get a little bit out of Andrew,
except when he gives you a hard time. You get a little bit out
of this, you know, your job, except when they give you a hard
time. You get a little bit out of this and that and the other,
don't you? Just a little bit. Just a taste to keep you from
going crazy. But what's real life, though?
This is life, more abundant. Isn't it? In this world, you
have nothing but tribulation. Tribulation. And that's when he feeds you
with this word from the very mouth of God, which is Christ
himself, his gospel. And verse 4, And not only does
the gospel feed us, it clothes us. Verse 4, Thy raiment wax
not old upon thee. The gospel feeds the hungry and
clothes the naked. The raiment wax not old upon
thee. What's this talking about? Do I need to tell anybody in
here what this could be possibly talking about? Anybody? If so,
you haven't heard any preaching from this pulpit. This is the
righteousness of Jesus Christ, that robe, that seamless robe. This is the raiment that waxes
not old. Do you ever get tired? of hearing about Christ's righteousness
and beauty. Does it get old, do you? Oh, no. It's new every morning. To a sinner, to a naked sinner,
it's new every morning. This robe is mighty comforting,
a covering. When I was a young man, I used
to pump iron. And I used to be somewhat proud
of my physique and was not too ashamed to walk around with my
shirt off, you know, naked, so to speak. Don't you laugh, Mindy. She says I've got handlebars
now. Well, don't you laugh either, Nancy. But when I was young, I was real
proud of myself and my strength and my physique and all that.
That's kind of a picture of man and his religion, isn't it? He's
proud of himself, not knowing he's naked. God sees him as he
is. You know what God does when he
saves a man or a woman? He strips them naked. That's
the first thing he does. He strips us plum naked where
we see God sees everything about me. There's nothing covered. Isn't that what happened to Adam
and Eve in the garden? Isn't that the first thing they
realized when they became sinners? And so it is with every child
of God whom God brings the gospel to. They realize I don't have a cover. I'm naked
before the eyes of him with whom I have to do. Thank God he provided
the best robe. He said, that's the first thing
he said, didn't he John? Bring the best robe, the seamless
robe. Nancy pointed that out to me.
I didn't say it when we were studying Christ's robe. Never get a tear in it. See,
when you have seams, isn't that the first thing to rip? Without seams, it'll never tear.
It'll never rip. Never get a hole in it. Never
get a hole in it. And it didn't grow old to me.
It's still covering this naked center today. Still wearing well. Still wearing well. Read on. It says here, neither did your
foot swell these forty years. Talking about the shoes we're
wearing, what shoes might that be? Right, Vicki. Ephesians 6 says we're shod with
the preparation of the gospel of peace. This gospel is what
God puts on our feet to walk by. We walk by faith. It fits
well. You have a good pair of shoes
that you've had a long time and you just don't want to get rid
of them, do you? I guarantee you they're made
out of leather. Man-made materials won't last, will they? And they're
not comfortable. Have you ever bought a pair of
vinyl work boots, Stan? I have. Don't do it. They'll
kill your feet, and they won't last any time at all. But a good
old pair of leather boots or shoes, and if you keep them oiled,
they'll last indefinitely. Such is the gospel. It fits well. You know, leather gets more comfortable
with age. It just conforms to you, doesn't it? Or you to it.
It's good protection. It's what animals wear. That's
another reason to buy leather. That's the picture of this gospel.
It's a slain animal. When God clothed Adam and Eve
with, what did he cover them with? Coats of skin. And we're covered
with a skin, too. Jesus Christ. We're in Him. Ah, boy. You know, I thought
about this. Hannah can enter into this. We
have horses, you know, and a good farrier, a fellow who shoes horses,
a good farrier who's been in it a long time, if he has good
shoes, and he's a good farrier, he can put those shoes on that
horse, trim those hooves down and conform them to that shoe
and nail those, put those nails in a sure place and nail those
shoes on that horse. And that will enable that horse
to go walk great distances and carry heavy loads. Such is this
gospel. in the hands of the Holy Spirit. He's a good bearer. He puts his
nail on the sure place, shods his people with this gospel,
enables us to walk by faith for long distances, yea, all our
lives, and to bear heavy burdens. Heavy burdens. And it'll keep
you from falling. Keep you from falling. The gospel
wears well, tastes good, walks well. Food and rain is what it
is, and I'm content. Having food and rain, let us
therefore be content. You weren't smiling when you
got here, Debra. What are you smiling for now? You're happy now. You content? Okay, let's just stay here another
ten minutes. What do you say? Food and rain, this is it. This
is a believer's bread and clothing. Life. Verse 5 says this, And
thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that as a man chasteneth
his son, or his daughter, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee."
Chastening. We need it, just like our children
need it, don't they? I walked to Hannah's, nearly
a teenager now, and I walked up behind her the other day and
just whacked her. I said, What did you do that for? That hurt.
I said, I haven't done it in a long time. You're bound to
need it. Well, it's so, isn't it? It's
so, isn't it? I mean, the older you get, doesn't,
Hannah, I'm 42 years old. My daddy ought to come up to
me every now and then and just whack me a good one. Right, Joe? Joe's 50. Shoot, 60. Might as
well say 60. Need a good whacking out there.
Thanks, I needed that. That's what we ought to say concerning
the chastening of our God. You know, let me tell you this
about our chastening, His chastening. Scripture calls it light affliction.
It's a whole lot less than we deserve. And it's a whole lot lighter
than many people get. Keep that in mind. Consider,
too, that whom God loves, he chastens. I remember a preacher telling
that to a fellow one time who was going through severe trials. What about Job? There's an illustration. No one has ever or will ever
suffer to the extent that man did. Talk about losing loved
ones. He lost everybody, didn't he? All his sons and daughters,
all his worldly possessions, everything. What about health?
Scraping boils with a broken piece of glass. sitting on a dung heap, a pile
of manure. Did God love him? That's why he sent all that.
God said that there's none like him. Didn't he? God said, God
spoke proudly of his servant Job whom he loved. To Satan he
said, you consider my servant Job? There's none like him. That's
my son. So what are you going to do? Hand him over to you. Is that
love? What did he get in the end? Now
wait a minute. Read the rest of the story now.
It doesn't stop there, does it Nancy? Huh? Says Job had at the
end how much more than he had to begin with? So much so that he forgot
all his troubles. So it will be with us. So it
will. That's whom God loves, he chastens. Verse 6, Therefore thou shalt
keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his
ways, and to fear him. Verse 7, The Lord thy God bringeth
thee into a good land. Isn't this a good land we live
in? I'm not talking about I'm talking about this little
piece of dirt right here that this building sits on. Zion, you're not coming to, you
can come to Mount Zion, the city. Isn't this a good place to be?
Good people. That's a pretty good old Joe
behind you there, a good old guy in front of you, isn't it,
John, or Joe? Nobody you'd rather be with right
now, would you? It's a good place, a good place
to be, amenable tabernacle. Now, Joe, when you're riding
down the highway and can't make it for service, I bet you just
like David in Psalm 84 said, I wish I was just a little bird
in a rapture. Now, here I am riding down here in this old
truck. Stan, the other day, I don't know what he was doing, but he
wishes he was here. This is a good land. Why, look
what's in it. A land of brooks of waters. Brooks,
that means living water. Brooks. Don't you love babbling
brooks, Nancy? Something about the sound of
it just gives you peace, doesn't it? And a brook just gives you,
you know, they say water going over rocks, it cleans it up. That's an old wise fable, but
that applies to the gospel alright though. Water in a rock will
sure clean, it's clean water. Water coming over and out of
the rock. Good water, living water, babbling brooks. Read
on. Fountains. This is a place where
you can find a fountain filled with blood drawn from Immanuel's
veins, and sinners can plunge beneath that flood loop. Read
on. Depths that spring out of valleys
and hills. Oh, the depths, Paul said, of
the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God. depths. How we plumb the depths, don't
we? We dive deep here, don't we? Into these obscure passages. That's what Isaiah 29 said about
God's people. He said, Oh, light has shone
upon you, and you see out of obscurity. That means obscure
little places over in the Old Testament that the whole world
throws away. Nobody's even using the Old Testament
today. And we dive deep and we see a land of wheat and barley, vines
and pomegranates. What pomegranates? We saw that,
didn't we? Vines, we read that too. Fig
trees and olive oil and honey. Sprout depths, down in Mexico
one time. We went snorkeling off an island
there, about, oh, 75 miles from Merida, 100 miles, an island. And we went snorkeling, beautiful
place, and there was a coral reef out there just a little
ways off the shore. Hannah did it, Mindy did it,
coral reef, and you go down there, It's like being in an aquarium,
you know. It's beautiful. Beautiful. The deeper you go, the more fabulous
sights you see. And you know, we have dived deep,
haven't we? Haven't we seen some wonderful
sights from God's Word when the world is not even getting their
feet wet? Isn't that right? Not even getting their feet wet.
The land of wheat and barley, oh, we're eating high on the
hog. High on the hogs, up high, the ham, and not the feet. That's where I finally figured
out that saying, Joe. Poor people nibbled on pigs'
feet. Eatin' high on the hog, eat the ham. We eatin' high on
the hog, the land of wheat and barley. Take the vine with the
course, and the vines and fig trees, and olive oil and honey,
sweet taste of cry land, wherein thou shalt eat bread without
scarceness." You can come in here at any time and get a full
meal, can't you? Bread without scarceness. He's
prepared us a table. in the midst of our enemy, in
a time when there's a famine. famine of the hearing of God's
Word, isn't it? He prepared us a huge multi-course
table, read on, without scarceness, thou shalt not lack anything
in it, a land whose stones are iron. Oh, this stone we're built
on, it gets harder and more solid all the time. Out of whose hills
you dig brass, bright and shining, glorious objects that to be found,
treasures. And when thou hast eaten and
are full, And thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good
land which he hath given thee." He hath done it. Beware that
you don't forget him. Keep his commandments. If you do, if you leave this
gospel, you'll perish with everybody else. Hadn't he been good to us, led
us all this way in the wilderness these 40 years, and all that
he's given to us, and has hid it from the wise and reproved
it and withheld it from the world? We're not one whit different.
You want some good reading for yourself this week, looking for
some place to read in the Scripture? It's where I've been reading,
and I started reading, and I couldn't stop. Just couldn't stop. Go
all the way through 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, you'll see. It's just
glorious. It's just glorious. All right, let's, I want to sing
a song in closing. Cherry, number 309. 309. We don't sing much to close these
Wednesday night services out. I want to sing one. Let's stand
and sing 309. You got it? ♪ That warm unbinding heart ♪ ♪
With you it will be blessed ♪ ♪ How often in those winter days ♪
♪ How tender was the way ♪ ♪ But the burning love loved to save
me ♪ The Lord hath called my feet,
and I have listened. The very life for the one who
doth care for me. A wonderland of bliss, A wonderland
in glorious bliss, And I will love you always.
