We looked at this three-part parable. We looked at one part of it,
that is the lost coin. And I mean, I'm sorry, the lost
sheep and how the good shepherd went out to find the lost sheep.
That was a picture of the son going, seeking out his people
and going to find them and laying them, their burdens upon his
shoulders, upon the cross, and thereby finding his lost sheep.
And several, several months ago, I preached from Luke 15, beginning
with verse 11, on the prodigal son. Now, that's a picture of
the love of the Father. And now tonight, we're going
to look at the work of the Holy Spirit, beginning in verse 8. I'm not going to dwell on this
parable so much as the subject of the parable, but we will look
briefly into the parable. But the subject before me tonight
is much, much bigger than any man is capable of handling or
even considering. I spent over four hours at the
desk before I even wrote down the first word of this message. I took the concordance and searched
through reference after reference about this subject, about the
Holy Spirit, and wrote down more than 40 different passages of
Scripture that I wanted to choose from. And there were many, many
more than that, but I just had to quit writing them. I was running
out of time. And I just about took another
subject, because it got so big. Things just kept piling up. But our subject, the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, where do you
start? Well, Brother Rick and I were
talking the other night about this, how that we in gross error
give great honor, glory, and credit to the Father and the
Son, and really don't think very much about the Holy Spirit when
the three persons are equal. in honor and equal and glory.
Now, I'm going to ask you to put on your students' caps this
evening. We're going to study through
this Word. We're going to look at several verses of Scripture.
We're going to diligently look into God's Word. And it's going
to require you to pay close attention. I did a lot of study on this.
But I'd like to accomplish this one thing. Like I said, it's
a gross error on our parts to think give great honor and glory
and credit to the Father and the Son, and little mention of
the Holy Spirit. It's a gross error. And I would
like to, if I could accomplish one thing through this message
this evening, it would be to have us go out of here honoring
and exalting the Holy Spirit of God. Now, I recognize that
this generation, the Pentecostal generation that we live in, the
charismatic generation we live in, likes to talk about the Holy
Spirit. As a matter of fact, they go
the other extreme. They talk about the Holy Spirit
at the exclusion, or rather, more than the Father and the
Son. And I'm afraid, I'm just sure
of it, that the Spirit that they are worshiping in is not the
Holy Spirit at all. You can't exclude it. You have
to include all three together. They're three in one. Now, the
Holy Spirit is as much a real person as the Father and the
Son are. A real person, the Holy Spirit
is. And what I just said about not
mentioning the Spirit very much, if you're honest with yourself,
you'll have to admit that to speaking mostly of God and Christ
and practically ignoring the Spirit. If you'll be honest,
I believe you'd admit to that. Well, look here in Luke 15 with
me, beginning with verse 8. We'll briefly look at this parable.
Our Lord says, now He just spoke of the Son going out to find
the sheep and finding them, and in here He speaks of the Holy
Spirit going to find the sheep and finding them also. So He's
at work in this thing also. Now, either what woman, having
ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light
a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she
find it? Now, you may ask, why did he
use a woman here, a woman? Well, because, simply because,
I believe that Women are more prone to keep house and sweep
the house. That's just it. So he used a woman. They could
relate to that, a woman sweeping the house. This is a simple parable,
you know. But the Holy Spirit can be thought of in this fashion,
in a motherly sense. It was interesting when I was
thinking about this, how we have the Father and the Son. And then this other parent, this
is the perfect order in a marriage, a husband and a wife, and they
have a child. Well, the Spirit, we're born
of the Spirit, are we not? Yes, we are. In a motherly sense,
we're born of the Spirit. There's nothing wrong with this
analogy as long as you don't ascribe weakness or inferiority
in that respect. Nothing wrong with it at all,
the Holy Spirit. He says, what woman having ten
pieces of silver? Now, the Holy Spirit, everything
belongs to the Spirit as well as it does the Father and the
Son. They're three, they're one, they own everything. Christ said,
what is the Father is mine, what's mine is the Father and the Holy
Spirit. Anything that belongs to the
Father and the Son belongs to the Spirit. God said in the beginning,
let us make man. Let's get together on this and
make man, the three, the triune, God, there in the first three
verses of Genesis 1. You'll see all three persons.
And he says, What woman, having ten pieces of silver, if she
lose one piece, doth not light a candle, if she lose one piece.
Now this is a special office of the Holy Spirit, that is to
convict, to convince a person of their lost condition. This
is a special work. of the Holy Spirit. You remember
last week we talked about God the Father in a sense choosing,
he chooses to lose his people. He makes, all men are lost but
all men don't see it. Most people think they're found.
But by God's power, by God's Spirit, he makes a person to
see their lost condition. He loses them in that respect. And the Holy Spirit, this is
his special office. We're going to speak more of
this later. He says, he lights a candle, or she lights a candle,
and sweeps the house and seeks diligently until she finds it. I want you to notice there are
three basic points to this message, the first of which is this, the
importance of the Holy Spirit as seen in the Scripture. In
other words, the Scripture speaks very clearly of the Holy Spirit
and how much importance the Scripture places upon the Holy Spirit,
just as much as the Father and the Son. We read there in Romans
chapter 8, 18 times Paul spoke of the Holy Spirit, 18 times
in 27 verses. In the Scriptures you can find
things like this in regards to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit,
and this will prove that he's a living, moving, acting person,
just as the Father and the Son. The Spirit was seen descending
in a bodily form upon Christ in a dove. John said, I, John,
saw the Spirit descending as a dove and landing upon Christ,
the Spirit, the Holy Spirit. The Spirit commanded the disciples. The Spirit gave orders and directions
to the disciples to do their things. The Spirit transported
A disciple, at least one, Philip, you remember when he went to
the Ethiopian eunuch and said the Spirit caught him away, transported
him in the air. The Spirit did this. Come on,
go with me. The Spirit did this. The Spirit
sent preachers to the Gentiles, Peter. The Spirit told him, now
you go over to these Gentiles. The Spirit spoke to the churches
in Revelation. Revelation 2, go over there sometime
and look at it. The Spirit was the one that's
doing the speaking, the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is spoken
of in the Scriptures as searching all things. The Spirit searcheth
all things. The Spirit teacheth all things. The Spirit shall guide you into
all truth, the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is spoken of by our
Lord in reverent, loving terms. He calls Him the Comforter, when
He comes. It's experience that I go away,
because He won't come. He'll comfort you. The Spirit
has a mind, a will, and a power of His own. The Spirit will baptize
in the name of the Spirit, as well as the Father and the Son.
Now, I'm not pitting these against one another at all. You see,
I'm trying to exalt them up to equal levels, the three in one. And the Scripture speaks of this,
the blasphemy against that Holy Spirit as being absolutely unpardonable. He's a pretty important figure
in it, just as important, equally as glorious and honorable as
the other two of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is a living,
acting person. Look over at John chapter 16.
I'm going to run ahead of my time. series of messages in John
here. But look at John chapter 16.
I want you to notice how the Lord speaks in a personal fashion
concerning the Holy Spirit. John 16 verse 7. Christ said,
Nevertheless, I tell you the truth. It is expedient, it's
necessary for you that I go away. If I go not away, John sixteen
seven, if I go not away, the Comforter, capital C, will not
come unto you. But if I depart, I will send
him," and say it, doesn't he, him, him, I'll send him, he's
a person, I'll send him unto you, this person. And when he
has come, he will reprove the world, convince the world of
sin, of righteousness, of judgment, of sin. because they believe
not on me, of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and
you see me no more, of judgment, because the Prince of this world
is judge. I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot
bear them now. How be it when he, when he, the
Spirit of truth, is come, he'll guide you into all truth. For
he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear,
that shall he speak." Now, did you notice the context, the way
he said that there? wrongly used that in the past.
It could be used in the fashion that we use it. We refer to the
Pentecostals and so forth only speaking of the Spirit, and we
quote this verse. He shall not speak of himself. What he's saying
there is the same thing that Christ said about himself. Christ
said, I don't speak these things of myself. I speak what I heard
from the Father. Isn't that what Christ said?
And that's what he's saying about the Holy Spirit here, too. He'll
guide you into all truth, but he'll not speak of himself, but
whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak. And he'll show
you things to come. He shall glorify me, for he shall
receive of mine and show it unto you." So the Spirit, you see,
is a is a person, a living, acting person with a consciousness,
with a will and power, just as the Father and Son are. And in
every step of this great work of man's salvation, every step,
the Bible assigns a prominent place to God the Holy Spirit,
a prominent place, the incarnation of Christ. Listen to this, listen
to these things. When Christ became a man, when
God When God was going to enter into
a body, it says the Holy Ghost came upon Mary. And this is where
I tried to get the analogy of the mother, the father sending the Holy Spirit, the
seed of the father going into the woman. The Holy Ghost overshadowed
Mary. The Holy Spirit did this. The
Holy Spirit somehow or another This is a mystery. This is marvelous. The Holy Spirit somehow formed
God in a woman into the Son of God. The Holy Spirit was behind
it. In Christ's ministry, when Christ came, when he became a
man, he grew up mighty in spirit, the Scripture says. It says God
anointed him with the Holy Spirit without measure. Rick and I were
talking about how we have one one-hundredth of a percent of
the Spirit occasionally. He had the full measure, full
measure, without measure, full of the Holy Spirit, full of this
person, this marvelous person. In the sacrifice of Christ, the
Scripture says, through the eternal Spirit, through the eternal Spirit,
Christ offered himself without spot unto God. This is a mystery,
I know, but we're ascribing glory and honor to the Holy Spirit.
The resurrection of Christ said that he was quickened by the
Spirit. The Holy Spirit raised him. Remember when he was tempted
by Satan? The Spirit came and ministered
unto him after that. The mission of the apostles.
When the apostles came after Christ, they were filled on that
day of Pentecost with the Holy Spirit. Filled with the Holy
Spirit. Scripture says, Peter said, holy men spoke as they
were moved by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit told them what
to write. Write this. Write this. This gospel, this
new covenant is called the ministration of the Spirit, the Holy Spirit. The ministration, or that is
the administering of the Holy Spirit. Paul said, we speak in
the words which the Holy Spirit teaches us. Do you see what I'm
saying? See what I'm trying to get at?
I've done it, I admit. I've not given the proper place
to the Holy Spirit. I haven't done it. We need to
do this. We need to speak of the Holy
Spirit at the same time as we speak of the Father and the Son.
He's a person. He's a person. It takes Him as much as the Father
and the Son. I'm not bringing some strange
doctrine here at all. I've been reading scripture after
scripture after scripture. But unto Him we ascribe glory
and honor. as much as we do the Father and
the Son. Whatever, listen to this, whatever believers or Christians
have, are, and enjoy that is different from the world is owing
to the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is within you. John,
look at John, 1 John sometime. By Him, listen to this, by Him,
the scripture says, We're called. We're quickened. We're made alive. We're born again. We're convinced
of sin. We're given faith in Christ.
We're sealed until the day of redemption. He dwells in us.
We're sanctified, set apart. Come over here, the Spirit says,
that's enough of that. Over here, you're mine. You're
the Father. You're the Son. You're ours.
Sanctify us. What sanctifies? Set us apart.
God's love is shed abroad in our hearts by the Spirit. In
Him we live, we live in the Spirit. If you don't live in the Spirit,
if you have not the Spirit of Christ, you're not of His, he
said. We walk, if you walk according
to the Spirit of this world, you're not His. If you walk in
Spirit, you're His. All that believers have from
grace to glory, all that they are from the first moment they
believe until they depart to be with Christ, all may be traced
to the work of the Holy Spirit, as well as the Father and the
Son. Yes, it may. These three are one. One in glory, one in purpose,
one in work. They work together. These three
are one. And one writer said, what God has joined together
Let not man put asunder." I thought that was good. The Father plans
and chooses. We would not be saved unless
the Father set his affection and his love upon us and chose
us from the foundation of the world and sent his Son and his
Spirit. God the Father did that. God
the Son, he came and lived for us. We would not be saved if
God hadn't taken on the form of a man. Jesus Christ, come
down here and live as a man, establish righteousness, and
go to the cross with our sins upon Him, and die for those sins,
and pay that awful sin debt that we owe, and remove that condemnation
from us. by his shed blood. We would not
be saved without that. The Son provides this sacrifice
that we need, that we have to have in order to be saved. And
the Holy Spirit, we would not be saved unless the Holy Spirit
convicts us through the Word, points God out to us, points
Christ out to us, points us out to us through the means of this
Word. It takes three. It takes three. This is the wisdom of God. The
wisdom of God. Great is the mystery of God.
Now, let's turn over there to that. 1 Timothy chapter 3. You
didn't have that written down, but I just thought of it. 1 Timothy
chapter 3. Look at this. Here's all three. Here's all three right here.
Great is this mystery. Without controversy, though.
It doesn't belong in controversy here. Just believe it. It's a
mystery. You might not understand it, but believe it. We can probably
quote it. Without controversy though, great
is this mystery of godliness, that is, how God makes us like
Him, like Christ. God was manifest in the flesh,
justified in the Holy Spirit. That's preachers, preached under
the Gentile, believed on in the world. There you have God, you
have him manifest in the flesh, you have him justified in the
Spirit, set apart by the Holy Spirit, all three. Well, let me say that I mentioned
a while ago this unpardonable sin. I'm just going to say this
one thing in reference to that. how that the Pharisees said that
Christ cast out devils by Beelzebub. And that's when Christ said that
about the unpardonable sin. They were attributing the work
of the Holy Spirit. They weren't attributing the
work of the Holy Spirit to the Holy Spirit, but they were saying
that what the Spirit was doing was just the work of a devil.
I said, no. And in a sense, that maybe can
be applied to a man just completely rebelling against the gospel
of God's sovereign grace. In that respect, I believe that
can be applied also. But I just want to say this one
thing. That group, there's a group,
they call themselves the Jehovah's Witnesses. I'm not afraid to
call them names. I hope this tape goes out. They're
called Russellites, because after the man, that's what they ought
to be called, Russellites. They're not witnesses of Jehovah.
Oh, no. Yahweh is Jehovah. Jesus is Jehovah, God our Savior. Christ is Jehovah. They're not
witnesses of Jesus Christ, nor the Holy Spirit. They don't believe
in a triune God. They don't believe in a Trinity. They don't believe
in a Holy Spirit. They don't believe in a Son, a Son of God. They don't believe in that one
God. And you can't approach unto God but by the Son and the Holy
Spirit. But I'll say this, that group
that refuses to acknowledge the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, is
swinging over hell on a rotten grapevine. And every one of them,
if they remain in that, are going right there, where they're going. That sin is part of the unpardonable
sin. Well, that's some of the importance
that the Word of God places upon the Holy Spirit. I quoted, we
didn't run the references, but I must have quoted 20 verses
of Scripture pertaining to the Holy Spirit, how he works, how
he moves. Now here, secondly, is the necessity of the work
of the Holy Spirit. Now, the importance that the
Word places on the Holy Spirit, and then secondly, the necessity
of the work of the Holy Spirit. Principally, chiefly, man is
dead. Dead. Graveyard dead, the old
country fellows say. Graveyard dead. Stinking dead
in sin. Trespasses in sin. Stinking dead. Man is dead in sin. Without the
Holy Spirit, no one ever lives. No one. No one. No one ever turns
to God. You know what repentance means?
Here's repentance in essence. It's a turning. It's a turning. It's a turning from the world
to God. It's turning from self to Christ. That's what it is. It's turning
from worshiping and pursuing after and and being enthralled
with and taken up with the things of this life, and then being
spiritually minded, thinking on things above. Rick and I were
talking about this as well. He came over and was helping
on the house. That's the reason we were talking so much. We worked
about two hours together. And we discussed these things,
but we talked about that no one ever really makes a change. No one ever really—that this
work of the Holy Spirit is not so much a—you know, the Pentecostals
and the Charismatics like to hoop it up, hoop it up. and carry
on and scream and shout. And I think when the Holy Spirit
gets a hold of you that you just whoopity whoop. You know, you
just carry on and jump pews. That's the Holy Spirit they say.
The Holy Spirit, I want to get ahead of myself on this feeling. He does, it's a feeling work
that he performs. The Holy Spirit, more than anything,
gives a man or woman a change of attitude and heart. It's not a, oh, he does, he puts
praise on your lips, all right. It starts in here, though. And
you can praise God without yelling it. Yes, you can. You can praise
God silently, quietly. And I have a feeling, based upon
the Scriptures, Christ, when you do your alms, What is that? That's thanksgiving, that's praise
to God. When you do your alms, get in
the closet. Don't do it to be seen. Man,
that's what he said. I have a feeling now that real
alms, real praise now is just between you and God. Not so much
when everybody else is hearing you. You know, you see them.
You see people out in the audience and these Pentecostal things,
you know. They don't really feel like it. They're really not being
impressed with the music or the preaching and all, but they feel
like they've got to raise those hands anyway. You'll see them. You know, you see, they're always
such a put-on. And then some of them are closing
their eyes. You know, they're always such a put-on. That's
not praising God. That's not the Holy Spirit. What
kind of fool would be caught up with something like that.
A fool. That's just it. A fool. The Holy Spirit, though,
brings a true inward change in a person. No one ever truly turns
to God, repents, believes, obeys, or worships without the Holy
Spirit. Now, I'll illustrate this. The most zealous efforts
of a preacher or a minister cannot make people Christian. The plainest,
most forceful scriptural reasoning, the most fervent preaching. I
don't care who it is. I don't care if it's Ralph Barnard
was here or Scott Richard, whoever you may think is just a fantastic
preacher. Henry Manning, I don't care who
it is. I don't care how piously the man preached, how much he
yelled. People equate the power of the
Holy Spirit with yelling. That doesn't necessarily mean
the power of the Holy Spirit either. But I don't care who
it is, unless the Holy Spirit applies the Word to a man. I
can do it in a still, small voice. You can get your attention in
a still, small voice. Quietly pondering. Yet again,
unless the Holy Spirit moves upon people, ain't nobody going
to give you anything. And boy, I've seen that from
experience. You preach and preach and think, man, that's a, to
be honest with you, you think, that's great. That's a great
message. I personally get a blessing out
of having a message, you know. And see, people are ashamed. What's wrong? The Holy Spirit
didn't touch them, that's why. And other people, boy, that's
a blessing. What's the difference? The Holy
Spirit chose to apply it to that person and not that person. But
we have ourselves to blame, that's for sure, because John said,
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day. We can prepare. We can ask, did not Christ say,
you then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your
children? How much more shall the heavenly Father give the
Holy Spirit to them that ask? I just have a feeling, based
upon the character of God and his promises, that if you go,
before you come over here sometime, if you ask God, Lord, anoint
me with your Spirit so I can worship you. I bet you you'll
have it. I bet you you'll hear and be
blessed by the message. Yeah, I will, according to the
character of God and his promises in the scripture. The Holy Spirit must move a man
and touch his heart, or a woman. Unless the Holy Spirit chooses
to do so, it's in vain. Sanctification of the Spirit
is a necessity. It is a necessity in this work
of salvation. Sanctification of the Spirit.
I'm not going to go into this too deeply. It's a three-fold
sanctification, but basically it's a setting apart. It's a
calling out and a preparation of every Christian, every believer,
to salvation. It's the distinct work of the
Holy Spirit. Now listen. Listen to this. When God designed the great and
glorious work of recovering and redeeming fallen men and women,
he appointed two great names, two men. The Spirit was promised in the
news, wasn't he? Yeah, he was. Now, listen to
this. Here's the third point. This
is the manner in which the Holy Spirit works on the hearts of
those that say—and this is going to be a two-part message. Now,
this is the first part. I can't—like I said, it got too
big. It got too big, way over my head,
but I think there's some things well worth considering here.
But this is the manner in which the Holy Spirit works. uh, in
the hearts of those that, that God saves. First of all, it's
a mysterious manner, mysterious manner. In John chapter three,
it says the wind bloweth where it listeth. You hear the sound
thereof, but you cannot tell whence it cometh. I was burning
trash the other day, and why is it that smoke always follows
you? You ever notice that? You're
burning trash, and you stand up here blowing your face, and
you go around there, and you come over here blowing your face?
It did that to me the other day, and I think maybe it did that
just to make me mindful of this verse of Scripture. I'm just
certain all things are for a purpose, and if we'd apply our hearts
unto wisdom, we might see something, might have something related
to us from the Scriptures, what's taking place. That the wind blows
where it's listening. I can go where I want to. It's
not going to touch me now. Whoa! I'll show you. Just keep
going. It follows you. The wind blows
where it wants to. You don't know where it's coming
from or where it's going. You hear the sound, but you cannot
tell where it came from or where it's going. So is everyone that
is born of the Holy Spirit. You don't know who He's going
to save. This ought to give you hope.
You don't know. You just don't know who he's
going to choose to save. It might be the most unthinkable person.
It usually is. It usually is. We can't explain
how and when the Holy Spirit comes upon a man any more than
we can explain what man knows the things of a man. Our own
wills and minds are hard to figure out, our hearts and so forth.
We sure can't figure out the Holy Spirit of God. It's a mysterious
manner he moves. Secondly, he moves in a sovereign
manner. He comes to one and doesn't come to another. It's his prerogative. Come to one and leave that one
alone. He's sovereign, just like the father and the son. Yes,
he is. He converts one member of the family and leaves four
of them unsaved. You know, the spirit blowing through, coming
through on his family. He could save them all, but usually
points out one and moves on to somebody else. So he's sovereign.
He comes in a felt manner. We spoke about this too. When
God works on somebody, they'll feel it now. They'll feel it.
Yeah, they will. It's not always really understood,
yet there are feelings. We don't place any great stock
in feelings at all. We don't look to our feelings.
Like the poem says, feelings come and feelings go, but feelings
are deceiving. But nevertheless, I wouldn't
give you a nickel for somebody's religion or profession that did
not make them feel joy. You tell me that joy can't be
felt? Peace? You tell me peace is not
something you feel? Contentment? You tell me that's
not something you feel? These are just concepts out of
your brain? No. It touches you. You tell me you
don't feel this gospel when the Lord blesses it to you? Oh, yes,
you feel it. Sometimes in the form of a tangle
of your spine. And sometimes it takes a form
of water. It's the wet ice. It's a feeling,
man, just like fire burns and ice chills. I'm not talking about
something mystical, man. I'm not talking about some wild
fire coming upon you. Not at all. Like I said before,
it's not so much that as an attitude change, a change of the heart. And he works in a seen manner. When he works, it's seen. A life
is changed. It may be in Christ, in the Spirit
of Christ. He's a new creature. What happened
to him? Yeah, you can see it. When the Holy Spirit works on
somebody, you can see it. Yeah, you can. When I do some carpentry,
you can see it. You can tell what I've done and
what maybe Rick's done or some professional carpenter. When
the Holy Spirit works, you can see it, as opposed to when a
man works. It's a big difference. Life changed. He works in an
irresistible manner, too. Irresistible. We love that. Irresistible
grace. of God and the Holy Spirit. When
the Spirit begins His work, it's always carried out to perfection.
Yeah, it is. He's almighty just as the Father
and the Son are. And He works by means, generally
the word preached or read, and by illustrations in our life. He shows us things and events
that happen in our life. He uses those. I'm going to quit for now and
take it up next Wednesday night. But it brings me to this final
word that will lead in the next week's message. The next week's
message is going to be on the work, the marks, and the evidences
of the Holy Spirit. Now, it's ought to interest you
whether or not you have the Holy Spirit within you. The marks
and evidences of the work of the Holy Spirit. But His work,
this is the final word here, His principal work is to reveal
God to sinners in the face of Jesus Christ, and to apply that
blood and righteousness of Jesus Christ to their very souls for
their salvation. I hope that was helpful to you.
I hope that will whet your appetite to come back and hear the other
I got a blessing out of studying it. It's mysterious, as Paul
said there in 1 Timothy 3, 16, but it's glorious. And like I
said at the very start, if I could accomplish one thing by this
message, it is to make us go out of here thinking about this
third person of the Trinity, how that he deserves our adoration
honor as well. It takes three. It takes three.
And these three, there are three that bear record in heaven. The
Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. And these three are one
person. One person living and moving.
Stand with me now. Before we were, we were so big,
so vast, such a deep, deep, in the old times, such a vast ocean
of knowledge and wisdom. It's just, no man can search out the things
of God. We've got to grow with the Lord. The more we thank the Lord, the
more knowledge He will give us. Most of all, we just thank Him
for His desire to learn. We thank Him for His desire to
be here. So this fall, too, we work here
for the Spirit. We thank Him for His praise and
glory. It's under our good
