Once again, it's indeed a privilege
to be here. So thankful for it. In the bullet
there, there is a map. I'm not going to make a lot of
reference to this map today, except I'm going to read a passage
of scripture found in the book of Hebrews. But if you'll notice
there, the legend is the Numbers chapter 34, verses 1 through
12. And the lighter of the two lines is supposedly that outline. But I'd like to read a passage
of scripture in the book of Hebrews chapter 8, along with this map. the covenant that God made with
these people that we've been following through the book of
Numbers. We found, we read about in the book of Leviticus, we
find in Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. These
people, God made a covenant with them, but it was a very limited
covenant. It was a conditional covenant. It was conditioned upon them.
Now God is not going to move from His solitariness. He's not
going to move from His Word. He's not going to move from His
purpose. He's not going to move from His promise. But in this
covenant He made with Israel, it was a conditional covenant. Now in the book of Hebrews chapter
8, beginning with verse 7, we read these words. For if that
first covenant had been faultless, So we already have the author
of this, the Holy Spirit, sharing with us that that covenant had
fault in it. And the fault was on the part
of the humanity. It was on the part of the humans.
It was on the part of Israel. Then should no place have been
sought for a second, for finding fault with them, he saith, Behold,
the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not
according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in
the day when I took them by the hand and led them out of the
land of Egypt, because they continued not in my covenant And notice
the last phrase of that verse. And I regarded them not, saith
the Lord. I regarded them not as a people
in the sense that there are chosen people. I regarded them not in
that because they kept not my covenant. Now, I had a young
lady in my office the other day with her husband. She was having
her birthday, and so he was going to take her out to breakfast.
Normally, we visit on Wednesday, and the wife brought up, why
did God choose Israel to begin with? I just went back to Genesis
to Abraham Isaac and Jacob and I used an illustration that I've
often used with you and that is God gave them special national
blessings and he led them and directed them and performed many
miracles for them and fed them and clothed them their shoes
didn't wear out and he gave him water from the rock and everything
else and And in the end, it did not make one solitary difference
with any of them. In fact, it tells us in the book
of Deuteronomy, I did not give you a heart to perceive or to
believe. So he said there, he's giving
them favored nation status. Let me show you if I, God Almighty,
choose a people for a national blessing, I want to show you
that if everything that I do for them will not change their
heart. That comes from God. And so he goes on and speaks
about the church. Now there were certain in that
group that were in the church. And he goes on to tell us, for
this covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after
those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their mind and
write them in their hearts. And I will be to them a God,
and they shall be to me a people, and they shall not teach every
man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the
Lord, for all shall know me from the least to the greatest. For
I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities
will I remember no more." This is the everlasting covenant.
This is the glorious covenant that God the Father, God the
Son, and God the Holy Spirit made among themselves before
the foundation of the world, and it is not a conditional.
It is unconditional. There is no conditions whatsoever
that God imposed on anybody, because God knows our heart,
even before the fall, that we would not choose Him. So it was
incumbent upon Him, if He is ever going to have anybody Before
his throne and praising his name. It must be he does the acting
goes on to say and this he says New covenant, which he made the
first old then now that which decayeth and waxes old is ready
to vanish away. I When Jesus Christ was born
in Bethlehem of the Virgin Mary, we find out He was the Lion of
the tribe of Judah. This is the last place, the last
time, the last necessity that God ever had to do in watching
over that tribe to make sure that Jesus Christ was born. Once
that happened, we find so many things happened. He said it is
finished. The veil of the temple was written
twain. No longer are we going to observe
these things. No longer are we going to be
participating in this. And even the Lord Jesus, at the
time He instituted what we hope to do today, coming to the Lord's
table, He did away with the Passover and said it's no longer necessary.
There is no need to look for a lamb. Here I am. I'm the Lamb
of God. And so we find that. But this
is just an outline of what we find in the book of Numbers chapter
34. So if you turn over there with
me for just a few minutes, as we look at this message that
God deals with in this chapter, we find out he is truly sharing
with us that he has a great, great interest in his exactness. The instructions that He gave
to Moses in this passage of Scripture and to the children of Israel
is exact. And you know, even though you
and I and surveyors may not be able to go over there and find
the exact city, that doesn't matter. I don't need those cities. I know what God said in His Word.
And in His Word, He said, I gave them this property. Now, it was
a conditional covenant, and we find out that that covenant ran
out when Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, the Lion
of the tribe of Judah came. There's no longer to have any
more of this. We're going to find out that
God has always, will continue to deal with the Church, the
Church of the Living God. And so that's who He's dealing
with today, and He's gathering in all His lost sheep, all the
lost sheep of the house of Israel. spiritual Israel, and it tells
us that in the book of Romans, the Holy Spirit gives us the
information that all Israel shall be saved, and so all the church
will be there. There will not be one empty chair,
and there will not be an extra chair either. It s all going
to be exactly as He s determined it. So, here in the book of Numbers
chapter 34, We find in verse 1, Numbers chapter 34 and verse
1, these wonderful verses about God's exactus. Here it is. I'm laying out the property.
You know, when we look at this, we find out that this piece of
property that God gave to national Israel is about 9% of the state
of Oregon. We have counties in Oregon that
are two counties in Oregon that are larger than this piece of
property that He gave to them. compared to the world, this is
insignificant. This piece of property is insignificant
compared to all the properties of the world. And what is the
Lord sharing with us concerning this piece of property that it
is so insignificant? There is a remnant according
to the election of grace. It looks like it's insignificant,
but to those who are in it, it is so good. It is so wonderful,
it is such a blessing to have the parameters of the Lord laid
out for the church as we read here. Numbers chapter 34 verse
1, the scripture says this, And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
One more time, Jehovah speaks to Moses, and Moses delivers
the message. Command the children. I like
that word command, because that is what God always does with
His Word. It's a command. It is never a
suggestion. It is a command. You know, as
we heard read there about the Apostle Paul on Mars Hill, there
close to the Acropolis. I used to think Mars Hill was
quite a pile, but it's not. It's a very insignificant place
there, right off of the Acropolis there in Greece. And Paul was
there, and he'd been up in the Acropolis, and he'd looked around,
and you know, those people were so religious that if they had
possibly made a mistake, that they hadn't identified a God,
they had a tribute to the unknown God. And thank God, the apostle
Paul went there and preached about the unknown God. God Almighty
in Christ Jesus, He preached them. And the resurrection, oh
no, my goodness, those Greeks scoffed, but certain, certain. We want to hear more about this.
All right. Command the children of Israel
and say unto them, when you come into the land of Canaan, again,
when you come in, This is going to happen. This is the land that
shall fall into you for an inheritance, even the coast of Canaan with
the coast thereof. Then your south quarter shall
be from the wilderness of Zion along the coast. And if you would
read down through those verse, verse 12, we're going to not
spend our time on all of it. You know, I didn't realize this
until some time ago, but out in the West Hills of Portland,
there is a stone in the ground and it is a place where a surveyor
in 1852 set up one pinpoint. And at that pinpoint, it was
a line that went north and south and a line that went east and
west, and every piece of property in the state of Oregon and in
the state of Washington is measured off of that one pinpoint. Now, some of you know the street
baseline. Baseline Road is in Portland
and it's also in Eastern Oregon. It is a straight line that goes
all the way through the state of Oregon on a straight line
and the meridian goes from that point north and south and every
piece of property in the state is measured off of that line.
Well, you know what? As we read down through here,
we find out that God has put a parameter around His people
in such a capacity that everything is measured off of that. We do
not need to deviate from this parameter, from these borders
on any side whatsoever, because God has established them for
the church. Now, in the book of Jude, we've
been hearing about those who want to move The parameters want
to move the teachings of Almighty God for the church. We find it
also in 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, we find it in Colossians, we
find it in Ephesians, that God is warning, do not move my established
boundaries. Leave them alone, but there's
always somebody that wants to come along and push on them.
You know, I can just imagine in every one of these stops down
through verses 2 or verse 3 through verse 12, as the Lord goes around
and lays out, gives a survey of this property that is going
to go to Israel, that they put a stone pile at every one of
those points. Now, that used to be the way
you did it. I shared with you last week, I believe, that I
was given an opportunity to find a piece of rebar with some flags
on them that a man had lost on his property, but he needed it
because he's going to sell that property, and he needed to know
where the boundaries were. Well, with a metal detector,
we found them in about five minutes. You know, every piece of property
has boundaries. Brother Lauren and sister Chris
had a piece of property and you know what? Someone had moved,
encroached upon their property. Well, it was very great because
the other person was very gracious to allow that to be straightened
up and put back on the property. My father owned a bunch of property
and it was, the other property around it was sold and a developer
came in there when it was gonna put in five acre lots. And before
you know it, he has survey flags about 55 or 60 feet into his
property. And he went and found out, and
he says, oh, that's where the property lines are. And he says,
you know what? The original owner, the other
owner that was over there and I put that fence in, that fence
has been in that line for 100 years or more. That's where it's
going to stay. You know what? My dad won the
case. He owns that property. He doesn't anymore. He's passed
away. Property lines are so valuable to us. And when encroachment
takes place, we are required to do something about it or just
bury our heads. Well, we find in the scriptures
that this is often happening. Now, this this piece of property
that was there. If you remember over there, Brother
Lauren read this, it says, And he hath made of one blood all
nations of men, for to dwell in all the face of the earth,
and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds
of their habitation. You know, God has determined
the bounds of the habitation of the church. And he said, these
are the parameters. This is what is necessary. This
is what must be abided by. Don't allow any encroachment
upon that. And then, turn with me, if you
would, to the book of Isaiah, chapter 5. In the book of Isaiah,
chapter 5, we have these wonderful words recorded by the prophet.
But again, he was a secretary for the Lord. The Holy Spirit
gave him these words. These prophets understood, many
of them understood, that they were writing by the inspiration
of the Holy Spirit. David shares that with us. He
said, I was writing by the Spirit. This is not my words, I was writing
by the Spirit. And here in the book of Isaiah,
chapter 5, verse 7, it says, For the vineyard of the Lord
of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant
plant. And he looked for judgment, but
behold oppression for righteousness, but behold a cry. His vineyard,
the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel. Now,
this is not national Israel. They have had their part. You
know, the only reason I've shared this, the only reason I have
any support whatever for national Israel today is that they are
the only place that pretends to have a democracy in the whole
area. That's the only reason. I have
no religion based upon that. You know, people want to support
them, that's their business. But I cannot understand why I
get mail from the Jewish peoples of New York and Chicago wanting
me to support their widows over there in Israel right now, and
they're some of the richest people in the world. They should have
no financial problems whatsoever. Well, enough said there. Song
of Solomon, chapter 4. Song of Solomon, chapter 4. If
you turn there with me, in the Song of Solomon, chapter 4, it
tells us there in verse 12, chapter 4 and verse 12, the scriptures
share this about the church. Now, we look at that piece of
property that the Lord describes there in the book of Numbers,
chapter 34, Go here, set up a pillar. Go here, set up a pillar. Go
here, set up a pillar. He doesn't say that, but I'm
sure that they had that because they had their property marked
out. And this city or this place is
where the property line bends or curves or whatever. There
is one line on that whole piece of property that did not change
and is still the same today. The Mediterranean Sea. It's on the West. It may have washed in a little
bit. It may have had some more deposit, but people can identify
that very easily. The Mediterranean Sea. There's
some things about the church that is just absolute and will
never change, and the other property points don't change either. If we can't understand them and
we can't find the truth about them, it doesn't matter whether
they are there or not, they do not change. Solomon chapter 4
and verse 12, it says, a garden enclosed is my sister, my spouse,
a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. The church of the living
God is a garden enclosed. It has property boundaries. It has parameters. It has, and
though it is small compared to all the rest of the world, though
it is small compared to all the peoples of the world, though
it is a remnant according to the election of grace, guess
what? It belongs to God without exception. It belongs to God,
and He has the oversight. You know, so often we find people that
are just oblivious to the boundaries that God established for His
church. They're just oblivious, and it
is incumbent upon the church to teach the boundaries of the
church, the pillars of the church, the places that the church must
stand. I've been doing that with a young
man for three years and still he's wanting to move those boundaries.
He wants to move that pile of stone. He wants to make it more
palatable and more humanistic and more interesting to people
because he can talk more people into it. Well, we find out the
position stands. You know, the Bible shares with
us, turn with me back to the book of Deuteronomy. Deuteronomy
chapter 19. There is some statements made
in the Bible about these property markers. In this passage, in
four or five passages we want to read this morning, we find
out the word is landmark, which means property boundary. And
here in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 19 and verse 14, we read
these words, thou shall not Deuteronomy 19, verse 4, Thou
shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time
have set in thine inheritance. We are the blessed recipients
of the grace of God and we are told, commanded, don't move these
landmarks because they've been set up in ancient times. You
know when the parameters of the church were laid down? In the
covenant of grace before the foundation of the world. God
the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit in complete
agreement among themselves said, this is the parameters of the
church. This is the boundary of the church.
This is who is in the church. And we find out here that from
a physical standpoint, this is what is to be done. From a spiritual
standpoint, it is the same. Don't move these boundary markers. Don't attempt to move them. They
are set there by God, and He has a purpose in doing what He
has said He has done. Here it goes on to say, "...which
thou shalt inherit in the land that the Lord thy God giveth
thee to possess it." What an inheritance God has given to
the church as a result of these boundary markers. They have established
where the church is, and who the church is, and what the church
is to do, and they're not to be played with or moved on. Turn
with me to the book of Deuteronomy again in chapter 27, and we find
similarly here in Deuteronomy chapter 27 and verse 17. This
subject comes up again, and it s called Cursed. You know, as
we go through the book of Jude, we find out the Lord has spoke
Cursed is the people that does this. We go into the book of
Colossians. We go into the book of Ephesians.
We go to the book of 1 Corinthians or 2 Corinthians. We go to the
other parts of the New Testament so often, as well as in the Old
Testament, and we find out Cursed is the people that tries to move
these boundary markers. Cursed is the people that would
bring up anything but what is established. Don't bring up your
free will when God said it fell in the Garden of Eden just like
the rest of you. Don't try to work works and come
into the kingdom of God. One of the favorite sayings of
modern religion is that Philippian jailer said, ''Sirs, what must
I do to be saved?'' That is just the byword of religion. You know
what we find? You must do the works of God,
and you can't do them. But the works of God will accomplish
their eternal purpose. All right, here in Deuteronomy
27, verse 17, it says, Cursed is he that removeth his neighbor's
landmark, and all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed. God's Word. And in the book of the Proverbs,
the book of the Proverbs, we notice here in the book of the
Proverbs, now this word is translated so many different ways found
in the scriptures. It is boundary markers, it's
property, it's coasts, it's however the Lord intended that word to
be translated. Brought to our attention. It
is the boundaries to the church It is the boundaries of a piece
of property is the boundaries that God gives so here in the
book of Proverbs chapter 22 Proverbs chapter 22 we have the same subject
brought up and it tells us here with such clarity such clarity
chapter 22 and verse 28 Renew remove not the ancient
Remove not, you know that word ancient could also be translated
everlasting or perpetual or old. Remove not the everlasting. What does it say? Remove not
the ancient landmarks which thy fathers have set. And in the
book of Proverbs again, the very next chapter, chapter 23 and
verse 10, we read this. Remove not the old landmark and
enter not into the fields of the fatherless. Don't remove
those landmarks. Don't put them away. You know,
we find a number of examples in the Bible about people removing
the landmark. You know, the first one is found
in the book of Genesis. Do you know what God said? I
put a boundary around the tree of life. Now it's an invisible
boundary. But I don't want you in that
property. You stay away from there. I don't want you eating
that fruit off of that one tree. Now, the rest of the property
boundaries was immense. How large was the Garden of Eden? I do not know, but it was immense. It was huge. There was lots of
trees that they were privileged to eat off of, but he put landmarks,
boundary markers around one tree in that Garden of Eden. And you
know what? Our first parents, Adam being
held responsible, but his wife too, our first parents, Broke
that boundary marker now we say and most people today have the
same excuse The devil made me do it The devil make no no no the devil
didn't make them do a thing The devil didn't make them do a thing
you know that is just Adam's own heart He's the only man ever
walk this earth that have what we could even think about having
a free will. And with every blessing, all
of the property that he could roam over, all of the trees that
he could eat from, all the blessings of having a wife made after his
very needs. All the blessings of God coming
to visit with him in the cool of the evening. God visiting
with man in the cool of the evening. Every blessing that God had given
him. And without anybody giving him influence, he ate that forbidden
fruit. He crossed the boundary. Now
I'll have to be reminded that when Eve ate that fruit, nothing
happened, but when Adam ate that fruit, everything happened. This
world fell apart instantly, and not one cell of their beings
went unaffected, and not one atom of the universe went unaffected
from that fall. We're still dealing with it.
And so the devil doesn't make us do anything. It's our own
natural heart that is wicked to the core. We sin because we're
sinners. We're not sinners because we
sin, we're sinners! And that's why we sin, that's
why we commit crimes, that's why we lie, that's why we cheat,
that's why, because of our very nature. Adam was formed by God. Adam was brought to the Garden
of Eden. Adam and his wife were told, don't eat of that fruit.
And Adam crossed over that boundary and ate that fruit. And here
we are in the mess we're in because someone went against the old
landmark that God had established. All right, there's another way
that we find out, and if you turn with me to the book of 1
Kings, 1 Kings chapter 21, 1 Kings chapter 21. We find here that
there's a king and there's a queen and there's a man by the name
of Naboth. And Naboth had property and he
had the property markers and someone else wanted it. All right,
turn with me to the book of 1 Kings 21. And we notice here, this very subject. 1 Kings chapter
21 beginning with verse 1 it says, And it came to pass after
these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which
was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab the king of Samaria. And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying,
Give me that vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs,
because it is near unto my house, and I will give thee for it a
better vineyard than it. Doesn't that just read like today's
religion? I'll take that, and I'll give
you something better. You know, there's nothing better
than what God has given. Nobody can come up with anything
better. It is God-given. All right, he goes on to say
here, and I'll give thee for a better vineyard than it, or
if it seem good to thee, I'll give thee the worth of it in
money. All right, we'll play Balaam here. You curse the people
for pay and we'll get along just fine. Naboth said to Ahab, the
Lord forbid it, me, that I should give the inheritance of my father
unto thee. Remove not the ancient landmarks
established by the fathers. Don't do it. Leave it alone. Ahab, he?s so distraught.? And
you know what? Ahab?s wife says, ?Oh, well,
just have him killed and then take it over.? Well, how often
has that happened in church history that people have tried their
dead level best to get rid of the established truth by taking
out people who believe it? You know, There is only God's
borders, and they never change. And He is always, has been, will
be, and will forever be the Almighty that established these borders.
And He will always be the headwaters of grace. There will never be
anybody that will have what he has. He is the headwaters of
grace. He is the beginning of grace.
He's where it all flows from. For by grace are you saved through
faith. And it's a gift of God, not of
works that any man should boast. It's not even your faith. He
will always be, has forever been, and will continue to be the only
Savior. And much of the Bible illustrates
the issue that becomes apparent with Adam's disobedience. If
God had not set up a boundary before the foundation of the
world, it would have all been pushed off into the sea. If he
had not said before the foundation of the world, the fall is coming,
I am not just permitting it, I am purposing that it will come
so that grace may be made more abound. If God had not been interested
in saving somebody, some people, one person, a remnant according
to the election of grace, if he had not been interested, nobody
would have been saved. But he was interested and he
said before the foundation of the world, I must, I must choose
them. I must choose them." Now, it?s
an eternal choosing, so we?re talking about something that
would take place in time, but God didn?t have it take place
in time, He took care of it in eternity. And you know why? Because that person that is going
to break that boundary with regard to that tree, Push it off into
the sea if he possibly can that one person is going to put everybody
in total jeopardy Because they're all going to fall in him and
the fall is going to be so great that there's not one Part of
them that has the capacity of choosing God. So just to head
off The herd before they all fall over the brink let me get
involved and And he chose a people for himself because they're such
sinners in every capacity. And then we find out, you know,
and what I am doing, what I am doing is not based upon anything
they shall ever do spiritually or otherwise. It is unconditional. It is not based upon human input. It's not based upon human faith. It's not based upon human will.
It's not based upon anything. It is based upon unconditional
choosing by Almighty God before the foundation of the world because
they are so far lost in the fall, they can never recover themselves.
We are in a horrible pit by nature, and that pit is taller than us.
It's not something we can get out of. I remember a man giving
an illustration about that horrible pit. One religion comes by and
says, you know, you're really stupid for getting in there in
the first place. There's no way I can help you. Now, if you never
got in there, I could help you. You know, that's just religion.
Another religion come along and said, you know, if you can get
up to the edge of that pit, I can help you out. But I can't reach
down in there. And God Almighty come along,
and by His sovereign and free grace, reaches down into that
horrible pit, and lifts His people out of that horrible pit, and
sets them on the person Christ Jesus, and establishes their
going, and puts a new song in their heart. Worthy is the Lamb
that was slain. So this is of God. God alone. We're unable. We wouldn't look
up if He hadn't grabbed our hands. All right? And Jesus Christ is going to
have to go and die for all that the Father chooses. This is just
a pillar that has been set up by God Almighty, and people have
done all they could possibly do to remove this ancient landmark
that God is going to have to give His life a ransom for everyone
that God chose. They must be paid for it. Their
sins must be paid for. You just cannot forgive them.
They have to be paid for. So Jesus Christ purposed to come
down to this earth for the whole reason of setting up the declaration
of this property marker and saying, I, the good shepherd, will give
my life for the sheep. And you know what? He did exactly
that. Now left to themselves. left
to themselves, nobody would come to me. I call, I call. I've shared this about one of
my sons who used to love to run up debts at the library. He would borrow a book and keep
it and keep it and keep it and keep it and keep it. He'd get
notes through the mail, please bring the book back, please bring
the book back, please bring the books back. Unheeded, unheeded,
unheeded. And one day, he got a telephone
call and says, if you don't have those books down here today,
a policeman is going to be at your door. He said, I got above
the general call and that was the effectual call. The general call never turned
anybody to anything, but it must be given, the general call. That grace of God, I love when
we term it irresistible. Because we resist in every possible
way we can by nature, and we need a God that has an irresistible
influence through the preaching of the gospel to draw all unto
Him that He determined to save before the foundation of the
world. If he didn't have that call, all of us would just go
unheeding it. And then finally, the one everybody
wants. It is set in stone. All that
the Father giveth me shall come unto me, and he that cometh unto
me I will in no wise cast out. I will have them for eternity.
They will worship me for eternity. Those that I have written down
in the Lamb's Book of Life because they are such sinners before
me in the fall. Those that I have given, I've given them a person, a place
in my call without any part on their part. Unconditional. Unconditional. And then, I have sent someone to take care
of all their sin debt. All. And because they will not
come yet, I will go and get them. I like what one preacher said,
the Holy Spirit is the hound of heaven. And he's out and about
finding them. And he will make sure that they
cross paths with the truth of the gospel. The truth of the
gospel. And that God will, by his grace,
save them upon their hearing the gospel. Now it doesn't say
how long after they hear it, it doesn't say how many times
they have to hear it, but they will hear it, and God will save
them by His grace. He will draw them because of
His grace, and they will bow. Every knee shall bow, and every
tongue shall confess the glory of God the Father. Shall confess
the name of Jesus to the glory of God the Father, and then finally,
you know, left to myself, I'd waste away this good property
that I've been given. I'd throw it away. I wouldn't
have any use for it. But God said, all that I save
shall be with me for eternity. He will make sure of that. So
how glorious it is that he has established property markers
and he has asked us to keep them, but they're going to be kept
anyway. You know, a lot of people have just thrown them away. You
can go to the declarations of faith, the articles of faith,
my home church where I grew up. You look at what they were based
upon in the very beginning, and they were based upon the truth
of the gospel. And after a while, someone comes along and says,
you know, we're not gonna pay any attention to these anymore.
We don't need these anymore because God is wanting everybody to be
saved. He loves everybody. And take
two or three verses of scripture out of context in the Bible and
try to make a doctrine out of it. Establish a perimeter to
the church. Well, that's wood, hay, and stubble
that we find out that the real property markers of the Church
of the Living God are gold, the Son of God.
