Once again, I have to say what
a delight it is to be back with you. And I have to thank the
Lord for those who filled in for us, the messages that were
brought, we so greatly appreciate. It's good to see you, good to
be with our family. I would direct your attention
this morning to the book of Numbers, again, chapter 15. Someone asked
me, why Numbers? Well, it's the gospel. preached
in numbers just like we'll find in the book of John or the book
of Luke. I'm reminded from time to time that this Old Testament
was all that our dear Savior ever used to preach from because
what we know as the New Testament was not even written at the time.
It came after his crucifixion. It came after his resurrection. Men were used of the Holy Spirit
to write down those things. And the book of Revelation. I
would hate to have to interpret any book of the Bible by what
time it was written. So I'm going to leave the book
of Revelation prior to some activities that took place. But here in
the book of Numbers, chapter 15, verse 1, The word of God says, and the
Lord spake unto Moses saying. Now once again, if you'll notice
there, that word Lord is in capitals, and so this is the name Jehovah.
Jehovah is speaking through Moses to Israel. Now, this is a most
interesting chapter, this chapter 15, for it follows the last two
chapters that we've gone through, and that, by and large, is a
great rebellion against God. We had those 12 spies sent in,
10 of them came back with an evil report, and even as Joshua
and Caleb did their dead level best to convince them and the
rest of the people that God was able to do what he said he was
able to do, many people, including those 10, and many other people,
rebelled against God. We find that This is just as
natural as breathing. Rebelling against God is our
natural instinct. We heard read this morning there
in the book of Romans chapter 3 and that is a compilation of
many Old Testament verses of scripture. Many of them are found
in the Psalms. They're direct quotes from the
Old Testament and you know and I know that people will tell
us after hearing that or reading that that that does not apply
to them or does not apply to me. We are always better than
that. We're always saying that we're
the exception, but the scripture share with us quite plainly that
we are in rebellion against God. Now, the old church fathers used
two words to describe this, and they never insinuated that there
was anybody ever born that had completely had consent as much
as they possibly could. But the terms represent the fact
that when Adam fell in the Garden of Eden, it affected every capacity
that we have. It tells us that in the fall,
our minds were darkened, and that is a darkness that we cannot
even see through. We find that Jesus said to Nicodemus,
except ye be born again, you cannot see the kingdom of heaven. And most people just say, well,
that's a figure of speech, or that's something that we learn
in Bible school or Sunday school. We'll get around that problem.
But you know what? The Lord Jesus uses that term
on purpose, and it means that there is a birth that comes from
above, and that is granted by God. Without that, we cannot
see and we cannot know the kingdom of God. If we were to read the
history of mankind from God's perspective, we would see that
99.999 percent of it has been in rebellion. Nancy and I just witnessed a
great deal of that as we traveled on the Rhine River between France
and Germany, much of it. We were taken through tours and
we went to the great cathedrals that were found in the middle
of those towns. I told one of my guides, it's
a wonderful architectural experience, but I have no use whatsoever
for the religion. because it is a mark of rebellion,
a mark of rebellion against God that you by yourself can work
your way into heaven. And there in Romans chapter three
and verse nine, it says, for we have proved both Jew and Gentile
that they are all under sin. And in verse 10, there is none
righteous, no, not one. I would direct your attention
right now over to the book of Psalms. Would you turn with me
to the book of the Psalms, Psalm 14, excuse me, Psalm 14, verses
one through three. This we find a commentary on
what we have read in the book of Numbers chapters 12 or 13
and 14 excuse me the rebellion that was against God rebellion
against God's Word a rebellion against God's messenger a Rebellion
that stands out and we find that those people are shared with
that God's indignation and the ten spies that came back with
an evil report were consumed immediately before all the rest
of them And the rest of them wandered through the wilderness
for 38 more years until that generation passed away. Here
in the book of the Psalms, Psalm 14, to the chief musician of
Psalm of David, the fool has said in his heart, there is no
God. They are corrupt. They have done
abominable works. There is none that doeth good.
The Lord himself, this Jehovah that we just read about in Numbers
chapter 15 and verse 1 that spoke to Moses, the Lord Jehovah looked
down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there were any
that did understand and seek God. Now we would hope from our
standpoint there would be at least one. But we have to listen
to the word of God on this subject. God is much more understanding
about the problem than we are. He understands the fall much
more than we do. And his commentary on this was,
they are all gone aside. They are all together become
filthy. There is none that doeth good,
no not one. Now we have to say this in respect
to God. Now, people have contributed
to hospitals, schools, contributed to this, they've done good things
to their neighbor, all of that. But that doesn't count any towards
salvation. We love to be living against
good neighbors. We love to have them beside us.
We love them that would take care of their property and so
forth. But when it comes to a relationship with God, those things do not
count because God himself said, there is none that doeth good,
no not one. As we look at this, we find in
Numbers chapter 13 and verse 14, they demonstrate the universal
problem. Without the new birth, they could
not expect anything else. You know, I look and reflect
upon Joshua and Caleb, and without the new birth, they could not
expect anything different from these ten spies. They could not
expect them to have an honor towards God without God's revelation
to them. They could not expect them to
have any service towards God without God's revelation to them. And yet we find that Joshua and
Caleb both implored them, be ye reconciled to God. They cried out to them. They
desired that they would have a change of mind about God. But those two preachers of righteousness
understood that if anybody was going to have a change of mind
about God, God would have to work in them because we naturally
and normally will never change our mind about God. Be ye reconciled. You know, there's a couple of
three words used in the New Testament, and Brother Lauren brought the
message last week from 2 Corinthians there in chapter 5 and verse
20 about being reconciled to God. Well, reconciliation has
something to do with, at one time, these two parties were
friends, and the fellowship fell out by one party, and the message
is, Be reconciled to God. Now, what is going to have to
happen? God's not going to change. God's never going to change.
And we thank God that He does not change. He, I am the Lord,
I change not. Therefore ye sons of Jacob are
not consumed. He is, there's no variable, neither
shadow of turning with God. He does not change. He's not
influenced by our prayers. He has knowledge of what we have
needed before we ask. And many other passages of scripture,
he's desiring, he's pleased when we ask things according to his
will. And that's the only thing he's
going to deal with, is things according to his will. Well,
how blessed it is when God's people are in a position where
they are according to God's will. It's much pleasanter there than
it is elsewhere. All right. So we have here, be
reconciled to God. And that was the message of Joshua
and Caleb. You know, without God's intervention,
without God's coming in and dealing with them, there was no change
among them. And that's Numbers chapters 13 and chapter 14. Rebellion
against God, the results of rebellion against God. In these two chapters
of Numbers, we see the end of unbelief. Turn with me, if you
would, to the book of Hebrews for a moment. The book of Hebrews. The book of Hebrews chapter 3. In Hebrews chapter 3 verse 17. Hebrews chapter 3 verse 17. Now
this is the summation of chapters 13 and 14 of the book of Numbers. This is God's commentary on it.
I don't have to go study Gill or Hawker or some other commentary. Right here explains the whole
thing. What happened in Numbers chapters
13 and chapter 14 is summed up here in these three verses. But
with whom was he, God, grieved forty years? Was it not with
them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? And to
whom swear he that they should not enter into his rest? But
to them that believe not. So we see that they could not
enter in because of unbelief. Now, who gives people belief?
God does. And without it, we will not believe.
And they did not believe, and they died in the wilderness.
This is God's commentary on the problem. Now the problem was
certainly started by Adam in the Garden of Eden. And it has
gone downhill from there. It has multiplied and seemingly
got bigger and bigger. And we see it here with Israel.
Now we've mentioned this in the past that every one of those
people that went in to spy out the land were Jews. Related to Abraham in the flesh. They had their pedigree. They
had been taken out of Egypt. They had seen the marvelous experience
of passing through the Red Sea dry shod. They had witnessed
the miracle of manna. They had witnessed the miracle
of those quail coming from God. They had witnessed water coming
from a rock. They had witnessed God's protective
care. They had seen the fire and the
cloud. They had been moved miraculously,
and yet when it came to going into that land that God said
he would take care of them and had given it to them, they could
not see it. They had never seen anything.
One preacher said about people being around the Lord Jesus during
his own personal ministry, they couldn't see Jesus in Jesus without
the revelation of Jesus Christ. Here in the book of Hebrews,
we find that they died in unbelief. And Joshua and Caleb were facing
the same issue that we read about Isaiah facing. You know, there
in the sixth chapter of the book of Isaiah is such a grand statement. In the year that King Uzziah
died, Isaiah said, I saw the Lord. King Uzziah was a very important
person to Isaiah, but he lost his glamour when he saw the Lord. Everything that was important
before then is now not near as important, and everything that
he thought was unimportant took up on great importance now. I saw the Lord. You know what
next is mentioned about Isaiah when he saw the Lord? He saw
that he was undone. Only when we are born again will
we ever see and agree with God on the subject of how undone
we are. We will not even, we'll listen
to it. You know, I, I confess at one
time I was a Calvinist and I said I believed in total depravity,
but you know, really down deep, I didn't even know what it was
about until the Lord saved me and then I saw how ghastly the
fall is, and how grace is necessary to retrieve us out of that horrible
pit. Unmerited favor. God was not
responsible to me because I was some belief or other. It was
because of his grace that he reached down into a horrible
pit and reached me out. Isaiah said, I saw the Lord.
Then he said, woe is me. And God says, who will go for
me? And Isaiah said, I'll go. You know, that's the wonderful
thing about grace is God calls and people respond. I was taught
in religion that you just could resist and resist and resist. By nature, we do that. But when
God calls, even Levi from a tax collecting station, he came. When those disciples that were
fishermen, he called, they came. And that's the way God does his
business. When he calls, people respond. They come. There is a call that
goes out. Lord willing, every Sunday and
every Wednesday night here, and every place where the gospel
is preached, and people come and go, and people come and go,
and people come and go, and now it doesn't look like anything
is happening. Yet, one day, God's call is that irrevocable, that
non-stop, that call of God that actually calls the person in
his heart. Then they respond. And then,
you know what Isaiah said, and Joshua and Caleb are good examples
of this. How long, Lord? How long do I
call? And he said, well, let me put
it right up front. I'm going to have you call and
call and call and call and call till the cities are in waste.
But I want you to know nobody's going to come. What do you mean, Lord? Nobody's
going to come. Well, that's the way it's going
to be, unless I call them after you've called them. Nobody's
going to come. Well, he went on and was used
to write the wonderful book of Isaiah. And so it is here. We have such an issue. Mentioned
in Numbers chapters 13 and 14, And now we get to chapter 15,
and we have some solutions. All right, let's look over here.
There are three distinct sections in this 15th chapter. Verses
1 through 31 deals with some sacrifices. Isn't it interesting,
after all that rebellion, God says, now this is what is necessary. God says, this, there must be
an innocent sacrifice for the guilty. Now, he goes through
several of them, and we're gonna look at one part of that passage
of scripture, but the second part of this is there's a guy
that's out picking up sticks on the Sabbath day. Now, he is
in absolute, total rebellion to the law of God. They are not to do that. And
you know what that's gonna share with us? When we look at that
passage of scripture, and maybe it'll be next Sunday, I don't
know. But when we look at that, we're going to find out a man
that just could not rest in Christ. He had to be busy about his works. And the end of that was death. If we have not rest in Christ
and we are still trying to accomplish our salvation by our own works,
the end of that is death. And the last part, that's verses
32 through 36 and verses 37 through 41, benefits of Christ's righteousness
arobe. robe now tells us about some
some bottom to this robe and We look over there. There is
a lady that said if I could just touch the hem of his garment
I'd be healed So we'll tie that up. All right When it has to do with sacrifices
though, we have to bring up a verse that's mentioned in the book
of Isaiah chapter 1 and verse 13. He shared with there, bring
no more vain oblations, no more vain sacrifices. Let's just turn
over there for just a moment to the book of Isaiah chapter
1 and verse 3. Isaiah chapter 1 verse 3, it
says here, the ox, excuse me, verse 13, verse 13. bring no more vain oblations
incense is an abomination unto me the new moons and sabbaths
the calling of assemblies i can cannot away with it is iniquity
even the solemn meeting now what does it mean to bring no more
vain oblations by the time isaiah comes along most of the people
are doing what those people that were taken by death in those
38 years had been practicing. They had seen these sacrifices
and they were watching them and saying, you know, we are saved
by the blood of bulls and goats. We're right here witnessing that.
We are. And yet the apostle, or Isaiah,
was used to write, don't bring me no more vain oblations. Now
the only non-vain oblation or sacrifice was, this is a picture. This is a picture. It's not vain
in that sense, but once you pass over the line and say, this is
my salvation, it's a vain oblation. Now, today it's practiced in
just another way, but it has the same meaning. People will
come and take the communion service with us, and I am convinced that
some of them are taking it and saying, this is my salvation. If I don't take it, then I will
not make it to heaven. But since I'm taking it, you
know what that is? A vain oblation. There's no meaning
in it. It does not save anybody, but
people continuously trust in it. And the second thing in our
world today, in our religious world today, is people will come
and ask for baptism and have no idea what it is. to be saved
first. They're going to trust that as
their salvation. A vain oblation. There's nothing
in it. Now if you're born again, there's
something in a picture, a type, and a shadow in the communion
service and a picture and a type and a shadow in the baptismal
service. But God's people trust the Savior
and not a vain oblation. Now by the time that this is
happening, it's just really right new, two years old or something,
we have them vain oblations going on, vain sacrifices going on. And the Moses, or Isaiah says,
bring me no more vain oblations. They're an abomination, as God
says about them. Don't trust in these things,
trust Christ. Now there's a number of offerings
listed here in this 15th chapter of the Book of Numbers, but I'd
like to read down verse 22 through 31. Back up to the Book of Numbers
chapter 15, and we're going to drop down to verse 22. There's
some before this, there's some meat offerings, meal offerings,
there's other offerings that are mentioned here, but the thing
that the Lord, I'm sure, wants to impress upon Israel at this
time is there is only one way of satisfaction, and that is
there must be an innocent ransom the guilty. There must be. The guilty cannot ransom themselves.
The guilty can't make a good decision. All we have to do is
follow those people. It says, you know, God was with
us and we said no. Now God isn't with us, but we'll
say yes. And they went in and were defeated.
That's just the way it happens. Well, here we read in the 22nd
verse of chapter 15 of the book of Numbers, and if ye have erred,
and not observed all the commandments which the Lord hath spoken unto
Moses, even all that the Lord hath commanded you by the hand
of Moses from the day that the Lord commanded Moses and henceforward
among your generations, then it shall be, if ought, be committed
by ignorance." Now, who doesn't fall under that category? Sinned
through ignorance? I may have never robbed a bank.
I may have never murdered anybody. I may have never done any of
those heinous crimes that everybody says if you do, then you're going
to hell. But the rest of us will make it okay. But here, the Lord
says, if you have sinned through ignorance, ignorance of God's
word, ignorance of God's law, ignorance of God himself, if
you've sinned through that, there must be a sacrifice. Well, I
don't think there's anybody I've ever met that hasn't done something
through just plain ignorance. You know, you read through the
book of Leviticus once, and you say, how could
anybody ever keep up with all of this? How could anybody remember
this? How could anybody follow this? And yet the Lord says, if we
do anything, even through ignorance, there is a necessity of a sacrifice. Well, like it or not, we sin
through ignorance. I've mentioned this a number
of times. You know, none of us have any control whatsoever over
our dreams. Sometimes they wake us up and
we're glad to get them over with. But how many of us have done
stupid things, illegal or immoral things in our dreams and had
no control over it? And God said, if that happens,
there must be a necessity of an innocent giving himself for
the guilty. In ignorance, dreams, Goes on
to say here, then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance,
verse 24, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all
the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt
offering, for a sweet savor unto the Lord, with his meat offering,
with his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of
the goats for a sin offering, and the priest shall make atonement. I need an atonement. I need someone. I can't make an atonement for
myself. I need an atonement. I need a mercy seat. I need somebody. I remember Brother Henry telling
about preaching about a lamb and there was a man that was
in prison. And he contacted him. He says, I've just discovered
I need to have a sacrifice of a lamb. Well, from that point,
Brother Henry explained to him, there has been. The Lamb of God
has been sacrificed for us. It goes on to say, bring their
offering a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord and their
sin offering before the Lord for their ignorance and it shall
be forgiven. So I need an atonement and I
need forgiveness. It shall be a forgiven the congregation
of the children of Israel and the stranger that sojourners
among them seeing all the people were in ignorance What a statement
is made after all of this that has been brought out with regard
to the rebellion of national Israel against a holy God. God
comes in and says, if you have done so much as sin by ignorance,
you must have an atonement, and it is provided, and you must
have forgiveness, and it is provided. in the person Christ Jesus the
Lord. It is because of an innocent
taking the place of the guilty and only that way and that way
alone. They will be forgiven. Sin cannot
just be put away. It must be paid for. You know what the payment of
sin is? Death. The soul that sinneth,
it must die. Now all those on the left hand
side are put in eternal death. And they will never ever pay. But they're paying, but they'll
never pay because they continue to sin. But those on the right
hand side, someone stepped in the gap for them. Someone brought
his person in for them. Someone stood up for them. Someone
became their advocate. Someone became their sacrifice.
Someone became their lamb. Someone became all in all for
them. And his name is Jesus. You know what it says about the
Lord Jesus? Even his naming. They shall call his name Jesus. Now, I don't know what Joseph
or Mary had an idea about naming their child. You know, when it
came to John, they had all kinds of names. But his name shall
be John. And finally, when he was born
and his dad said his name is John, his lips were opened up
again. So the naming of the Lord was
given by God, they shall call His name Jesus, and this is the
reason. He shall save His people from
their sins. What does that mean? He'll make
an atonement. He'll pay the price. He will lay down His life, a
ransom for many. He will be the Good Shepherd
and the Good Shepherd will give His life. for the sheep. And so as it's portrayed here
in the book of Numbers, the only way to have favor with God is
that there be a sacrifice made on our behalf. Now the type in
the shadow of the picture is brought out here in the book
of Numbers chapter 15. And it was to be carried from
this point on. And we see the children of Israel
in the land that was given to them. They were to go through
this. Time and time again, they were to have sacrifices and it
was to be a constant reminder that they had sinned through
ignorance and they must have an advocate. Wonderful thing
about the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ is this man, by the sacrifice
of himself, put away sin forever. Sin cannot be just put away,
it must be paid for. I had a dear friend, that I met
because of a phone call. He called me to his home and
he said he wanted to talk to me about his church. And when
I got there I knew I was going to be asked to leave immediately
because that's happened in the past. All you have to do is mention
Sovereign Grace and most people just cringe. They don't want
to hear it. They want their free will to
be patted on the back. Well, the Bible has no room for
that, and we don't either. We don't have any room for free
will being complimented, because we always make the wrong choice.
God is the only one that can change our will, and he does
it by himself. All right, this man asked me
about our church, and he said, I've been going to churches here
in town, and it's as if God is in a wheelchair. that he can't
do anything without anybody's activity. So at that moment I
could open my Bible and start reading Romans chapter 8 and
he said amen. He was in services the very next
Sunday. He attended here till he passed
away. But one of the things that he said while He said, I have to ask the Lord,
and you know, we do this. Some of the nonsense that I mentioned
while I was pastoring before I was ever saved was nothing
more than just nonsense. Lord, forgive me. Well, you know
what this man kept bringing to the Lord? The songs that he used
to sing that were a dishonor to God. Sins of ignorance. Well, the Lord had taken care
of that problem. But even Paul said, you know, I persecuted
the church of God. Long ways down the list. Burnt
offerings could not and did not take away sin. In fact, we find
that it's not possible that the blood of bulls and goats should
take away sins. In burnt offerings and sacrifices
for sin, he said, I have no pleasure. It was types and shadows. There
was no satisfaction, no real payment, no real reconciliation,
and no real propitiation in those sacrifices. And we need propitiation. We need our sins taken care of. We need them paid for. We need
to have them satisfied before God. Turn with me, if you would,
to the book of Hebrews chapter 10. Hebrews chapter 10, these
verses that I've been mentioning is mentioned right here. There's
no hope in the sacrifices of blood, the blood of bulls and
goats. Hebrews chapter 10, and there in verse 6, it says, in
burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin, thou hast no pleasure. Verse four, for it is not possible
that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sin. Animals
can't substitute for humans. That's why the Lord Jesus Christ
came like his brethren, like his people. He had to come in
the flesh. He had to be likened to them.
Well, it goes on down through here and says in verse 10, it
says, by the which will we are sanctified through the offering
of the body of Jesus Christ once for, notice the A-L-L. It's in italics. It was not in
the original. And you know, even my mother
would say he did it for all people. Once for all people. You know
what that means? Once for all time! It's not for
the number of people, it's for the time element. Once for all
time he took care of sin. The sacrifice sanctified through
the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all time. How
many times was Jesus crucified? Once! because he was much better
than all the priests that had ever been in commission to offer
those sacrifices. They had sin, he did not. But this man, verse 12, after
he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down in
the right hand of God. We've mentioned this in times
past that he's the only priest that ever got to sit down. All
the rest of the priests couldn't. The work was never finished.
Tomorrow was another day. More sacrifices to bring because
he had not come and offered himself. Well, he offered himself and
now it was over. In Matthew, Jesus said, he came
to give his life a ransom. a ransom for many. He paid the
price. It was the ransom price. The
ransom price for sinners is death. He must die on the behalf of
his people or they're not ransomed. And he ransomed his people and
that's all he ransomed. In 1st John chapter 2 it says,
he is the propitiation for our sins, but not for our sins only,
but for the sins of the whole world. Well, we have to define
propitiation because that means payment in full. And if Jesus
Christ paid fully for the sin, then there is no thought of them
ever going to hell. He sent his son to be a propitiation
for our sins. Christ is the anointed Savior
of the Godhead. He came to save His people from
all their sins. Sins of commission, sins of omission,
sins of ignorance. Not even knowing that we had
sinned. We sin without even thinking. We're just our natural state. We are sin by nature. They shall
call His name Jesus. Why? For He shall save His people
from their sins. You know, having a religious experience
doesn't mean a person is saved. Having prayer answered doesn't
mean a person is saved. Saying I believe all the word
of God doesn't mean a person is saved. Holding to a particular
confession of faith doesn't mean anybody is saved. I am reminded
of what the King David said in his last words in 2 Samuel 23. Would you turn there with me?
2 Samuel chapter 23, verses 1 through 5. These are the last words of
David, it says. Boy, to come to the end of your
life and be able to say something. I heard of one preacher that
said to his son, oh, what am I going to do? His son had been bringing the
gospel to his father, who was a preacher for years. And when
he came to the end of his life, he said to his son, oh, what
am I going to do? Another preacher shared with
me, he just doesn't know how he's going to meet the Lord because
of some of the thoughts he had against his wife. That's not
peace. There's no hope in any of that.
Listen to the last words of David, 1 Samuel chapter 23. Now these
be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said,
the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of God of
Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel said, the spirit of the
Lord spake by me and his words were in my tongue. Many of the
Psalms are as a result of that. And the God of Israel said, the
rock of Israel spake to me, he that ruleth over men must be
just ruling in the fear of God. And he shall be as the light
of the morning when the sun rises, even a morning without clouds,
as the tender grass springing out of the earth by the clear
shining after rain. And then he says, although my
house be not so with God, he said, this salvation is for God's
people. Now I would like to have all
my house saved, but he said it's not that way. Although my house
be not so with God, yet he, God, hath made with me an everlasting
covenant, ordered in all things and sure. What's David's hope? For this is all my salvation
and all my desire, although he make it not to grow. It hasn't
happened to all my family. I'm here in many ways alone before
God. But His, what? Covenant was for me. His everlasting covenant was
for me. He maketh it. In the conclusion of the section
that we've been looking at in the book of Numbers, it said
anybody that sin presumptuously would be cut off. And that is,
they said, it doesn't apply to me. I don't need it. I'm better
than that. I don't need a sacrifice for
myself. They shall be cut off. You know, people say every day,
I did. I don't need that. I'm doing well by myself. I don't
need that. The preacher's wasting his time.
Well, there was two chapters of the book of Numbers that were
such a display of natural man's heart that God comes along in
chapter 15 and said, except there be a sacrifice, there will be
no atonement and there will be no forgiveness. And the church
says, He is all my salvation and He's all my hope. In Him
I have atonement. In Him I have forgiveness. And
we can meet with Him now and in eternity with that great confidence. And so we'll stop there for today
and pick up a man who could not rest in God. Next week.
