of helping me this morning. I
was telling Bruce Crabsher about it last night, and he told me
what he was going to preach. There are three true things here
in the 24th Psalm I want us to look at. First of all, we want
to look at the true God. Verse 1 and 2. We want to look
at the true Israel in verses 3 through 6. And then we're going
to look at the true Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ. Because
he said, open up your doors, the King of Glory is coming in. But you know that scriptures
can never, never be fully appreciated until we see the message of redemption
by the Lord Jesus Christ, by the God-man. You can never appreciate
it. But when you see this message,
when you see Christ, you see the gospel. And God lays that
upon you, and you see line upon line, here a little, there a
little, then you really start enjoying the Scriptures and appreciating
the Scriptures. And I think we get a better understanding
and appreciate this psalm that I read this morning by dividing
it into three parts. Let's look first of all at the
true God, the true God. It says here that the earth is
the Lord's. and the fullness thereof, and
they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the
seas, and established it upon the Lord." Upon the floods. First of all, the true God. Who
is He? He says the earth is the Lord's. It's not man's. It don't belong to man. I heard
a preacher say one time, you know, the earth is the Lord's.
The devil's got a lien on it. No, the devil ain't got no lien
on it. No, no. You know, men, we live on this
earth. And we boast of our possessions,
we boast of our power. We look at all the things we
accumulate and go around showing everybody them all. And we boast
of our possessions and the power that we have. And then they divide
the earth into countries, different countries, different rulers,
different kings, whether kings or presidents or dictators or
despots. And then they divide these countries
into states, territories, and they give them names. We just
happen to live in the United States, divided into 50 states. We live in more than 50 states,
and then they divide it into counties, and then they divide
it into towns. And we divide these things, and
we give them names. And then you divide them into
farms, ranches, lots, subdivisions, and they give you title deeds
for them of ownership. But you know why it says here,
the earth is the Lord. We can give all of our title
deeds if we want to. Call it ours. But really, really,
it belongs to the Lord, and He can do what He wants to with
it. He can tear it down, flood it out, do whatever He wants
to. We're just tenants. We're just
tenants here, and we're subject to eviction any time He pleases. He said, I'm fixin' to evict
you off your land. I'm fixin' to take you off that
you stand at yours. And you know, the owner sits
in the heavens, the owner of this world sits in the heavens,
and he laughs at all these tidal deeds of the worms of the earth.
He really does. And we're divided up. They have
great big titles and great big names, and all have great titles
to them, great places and all that, but they say the earth
is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. We're just, I'm telling
you, we're just kidding you. How many people have lived on
this earth, and they all had a need to something,
and they walked off, God took them right away from it. How
many kings, how many rulers, how many people, how many houses,
how many kingdoms, how many palaces, how many despots have ruled on
this earth that's not here now? And they'll walk you through
there and say, King So-and-so lives here. Well, that's a so-and-so. So-and-so. And, O Beloved, you'll
never ever appreciate this world and all that's in it until you
see the God that rules this world, and the earth is the Lord's,
and the fullness thereof. And when you see that, you'll take
care and love and appreciate this world and all that's in
it because it belongs to Him, and He just lets you have it
for a little while, just lets you live on it for a little while.
And not only that, but it says the earth is the Lord's, and
look what it says, the fullness thereof. The fullness thereof. What does it mean, the fullness
thereof? It means everything in it. Its entirety. All of its wealth. There ain't
no wealth in this world that God didn't put in it. You know,
He's the one that makes rich, and He's the one that makes poor.
He's the one that raises up, and He's the one that sets down.
And His life, everything about this world, it's the fullness
of its life, its past, its present, and its future. The fullness
of it belongs to Him. You know this, we have these
people that they're trying their best to save the planet. But you know how many people
lived on this earth and breathed this air? And yet their air is
still full, ain't it? Huh? The fullness of the air?
In spite of all of the soil? How much has come out of the
soil? And billions of plants, billions
of trees and flowers live from it, gardens come out of it, people
are fed from it, and it's still full. Still full. You talk about the rivers, the
forests, the fields, all remain full. All still feed, all still
clothe, all still house generations of people. And they're full and
held together by His power and His sovereignty. Let me show
you that. Look with me over, and you keep
listening. Look with me in Colossians chapter 1 with me, just a moment.
It says that He upholds the world by the word of His power. Colossians chapter 1 and verse
16. You know, The rivers are full, forests
are full, fields are full, and remain full. The sea's full. You know how many fish have been
made out of the sea? You can still go get all the fish you want. People have been eaten
out of this world as long as there's been people. And we're
still eating. All the paper that's been printed,
all the papers that's been made, still making paper. All the air
that's been breathed, we still have air. The earth is the Lord, and every
fullness, He's going to keep it full. He's going to keep it
full. Don't these people worry about, you know, that we're going
to deplete this, we're going to deplete that. No, no, no. Ain't going to do it, because
the Lord, it's the fullness of it's His. He's the one that filled
it up. Look here in Colossians 1, 16. For by Him, talking about
Christ, for by Him were all things created. that are in heaven,
that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones
or dominions or principalities or powers, all things were created
by him and for him, and watch this, and he is before all things,
and by him all things consist." In other words, all things continue
by him, by him. And that's what he says, you
know, and we're filled with the fullness of him, and of his fullness
have we all received. So you see, the earth is the
Lord's. The fullness thereof is the Lord's. And not only that,
but boy, the world and David dwell therein. The world and everybody dwells
in it. There he is. We're talking about the true
God. We're not talking about this God of your imagination. We're
not talking about this God, you know, who can't and fails. We're
not talking about this God who don't control anything, can't
do anything. No, no, I tell you, we live moved
by Him. We have our being. The world
and all they that dwell. All they that dwell. Do you dwell
in this world? Well, you belong to the Lord. What's He going to do with me?
That's up to Him. That's up to Him. There He is
by creation. I'm the one that made you. You
didn't make yourself. And they all belong to the Lord
Jesus Christ. In the beginning was the Word,
the Word was with God, the Word was God, and there was not anything
that was made, was made without Him. Ain't that right? Revelations
4.11, I'll read it to you. I'll just read it to you. You
don't have to look at it unless you just want to. But Revelations
4.11 talks about that very thing. It says, Thou art worthy to receive
glory and honor and power, for Thou hast created all things,
and for Thy pleasure they are and were created. Made it the
way God pleased to make it. Created for His glory, created
to please Him. And, O beloved, not only is it
by creation, the world and everything that dwells in it, but by decree.
Here's the thing that folks don't enjoy very much. But by decree,
God gave everything that rise and wriggles and draws breath
on this earth into the hands of Jesus Christ. He says, Thou
hast given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal
life to as many as Thou hast given Him. And beloved, not only
this, but the Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things
into His hands. He hath appointed Him to be there
over all things in this world. Do you know what that means?
That you're in the hands of the Lord Jesus Christ. He's the only
one that can give you life. He's the only one that can stay
in your life. He's the only one that can take
your life. He's the only one that can give
you life. Spiritual life? He's the only one who can leave
you in your spiritual death. There ain't nobody on the face
of this earth except Jesus Christ, and He's set at the right hand
of God to do with every man, and every woman, and every child
as seems good in His sight. Ain't that right? And look what
else it says here. Not only His name is by creation,
He made you. You're His by decree. God gave
this world to Him. We're His by purchase. Now listen
to me. I want you to understand this.
By purchase. You know what that means? That
Christ brought everything on top of this world to dispose
of it as pleases Him. I can show you that from the
Scriptures. I can show you that. Now you keep this. Look with
me over to 2 Peter 2. You know, the Lord says that God made Christ, to
this end He both died, rose, and revived again, that He might
be Lord both of the dead and the living. That means, beloved,
those that He gives life to and those that are dead in sins,
Christ's Lord over, Christ's Lord over. And look what it says
here. It is by purchase. But there
were false prophets also among the people, even says, Thou shalt
be false teachers among you, who bribably shall bring in damnable
heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon
themselves swift destruction." Now what does it mean if Christ
bought them to save them by His blood, then they'd be saved.
But here He calls them false prophets and that He bought them
and He's going to destroy them. Now you know in Matthew 13, the
parables, it says there that a great king bought a whole field. Bought a whole field and everything
in that field, but all he owned out of that field was a treasure.
But he had to buy the whole field to get the treasure. And the
church, God's elect, is the treasure. But he bought the whole field
to do what he wants to with the rest of it. You can deny that
Christ died for His elect. You can deny that Christ died
for His people. You can deny that you're a sinner.
You can deny that Jesus Christ is the only Savior. You can deny
that that's fire in the blood. You can deny His sovereignty.
But the fact of the matter is that if you deny that, all in
the world, as you're doing, is sinning your own damn nation,
because He is the One. Do you know why? He's the One
who has the keys of hell and hell. You think that false prophet
just said, you know, Jesus loves everybody and died for everybody,
now it's up to you, please let him into your heart. You think
that false prophet is going to get by? No, God brings his destruction
on him. Brings him down just like that.
You say, well, he's a good man, he's a fine person. I really
thought a lot of him. I think he was really sincere. Since you rely on God, you can
deny all you want to about Christ. Everybody can deny all they want
to. They can fuss and fight, deny election, divide sovereignty,
divide the power of the blood, just deny, deny, deny all they
want to. But I'll tell you one thing, Christ owns you. And He'll
do with you what seems good in His sight. And I hope and pray,
I hope by His sovereign mercy, that He'll open hearts instead
of damning. I hope that He'll bring light
instead of leaving in darkness. I hope that He brings life instead
of leaving men in death. I hope that He brings mercy instead
of judgment. I really do, don't you? And not
only were His by person, purchased by His by ministration. I mean,
He administers this world. He says all power in heaven and
earth is given unto me. And it says that the government
should be upon His shoulders. So all creatures, all creatures
are His. Huh? All creatures are His. Whether
you're a son or a servant, a sheep or a goat, vessels of mercy or
vessels of wrath, all are His. The earth is the Lord's, the
fullness thereof, and everything that dwells therein. Huh? Look
over here in Psalm 50 with me just a moment. I think it's Psalm
50. I believe that's where I want
to look. Yes. Look in verse 10. Psalm 50 and
verse 10. What it says here, For every
beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand
hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains,
and the wild beasts of the field are mine. If I were hungry, I
would not tell thee, for the world is mine, and the fullness
thereof." Are we ever going to get to him? And then back over in our text,
look what else he says about it. Not only that, but, beloved,
it says he has founded upon the seas. Founded upon the seas. And this is the chief reason
all of this is His. He founded it. And to show you,
beloved, that He founded upon the seas, that that means to
tell you that He not only controls everything that's in the world,
but even in the sea. You know, He walked on the water. He created
it all. It was God who said, let there
be life. It was God who said, let us make men in our own image.
Then it says not only that He founded upon the seas, but established
it upon the floods. The water from above and the
water from beneath the world. And this tells us this right
here about ourselves. What an insecure foundation.
What an insecure foundation. Surely, surely God is telling
us that the earth shall not remain. Shall not remain. Established
upon floods, established upon the seas. You see, God's people
are looking for a city. We're looking for a new heaven,
a new earth. founded and established upon the rock of ages. And then
let's look at the true Israel. That's the true God. That's the
true God. He's not no pretender. He's not
no pretender. He's not no pretender. Then look at
the true Israel. Who shall ascend into the hill
of the Lord? And who shall stand in His holy
place? He that hath clearing hands, and a pure heart, who
hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, he shall receive the
blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy
face, O Jacob." Oh my, who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?
Who shall ascend into the presence of God Himself? Who can? You know, the high priest was
only allowed to go into the holy place. Once a year. And he couldn't
go in that without blood. And there he's talking about
ascending up to where God is. Ascending right up there into
the very presence of God Himself. Who can ascend up there? Who
can go up there? Who can walk up into the presence
of God? Huh? Oh my, He's in the heavens. He's in the heavens. That's why
He says, God's in the heavens and you're on the earth. Therefore,
let your words be few, be not rash with your mouth." And, oh,
beloved, listen, I'm telling you, Job says this, he says,
Oh, God, we walk softly in the presence of God. He says, God,
who? Because now by searching, find
out, God, His knowledge is higher than the heavens, it's deeper
than hell itself. What he's saying is, what can
you know about it? Oh, beloved, God dwells in a
light which no man can approach unto. Does anybody here feel
like they can see right up into the presence of God? Ask people
to think, you know, that they can walk up and talk to God,
just walk up and say, Oh, God said this, God said that. Well,
if God didn't say it in here, then He didn't say it. Oh, listen, not only who shall
ascend, who's going to walk on? Not only that, but look what
it said. Who shall stand in His holy place? Once you get there,
who shall stand there? Stand in the presence of God.
Is that right that no man can approach unto? Oh my, who's going
to stand there? If someone can ascend to where
God dwells, who could stand or abide in His presence? When Paul, you know, when the
cherubims and the seraphims, and Paul humbled himself and
said, Oh God, oh wretched man that I am, who shall save me? When the cherubims and the seraphims
cover their eyes because God is so holy they can't look on
Him. cover their loins because they see that loathsome disease
in themselves, and cover their feet because their walk is so
unholy and despicable. If the servants do that, what
in the world are we going to do? Huh? Walk up there and stand? Oh, listen. I'll tell you, he
said, he answers the question. Who's going to stand and who's
going to stand? He said, he's going to have clean hands. Clean
hands. Now, this clean hands here don't
mean the same thing. You know, the Pharisees said
to the Lord Jesus, why do your disciples eat with unworshipped
hands? You have unworshipped hands.
If their hands wasn't worse when they went out and got a bunch
of sinners like us, they just was unclean. But this is not
talking about that. This is talking about a hand
that never has done anything but worked and labored for the
glory of God, pure without spot. Huh? You keep this and look right
over in Proverbs 20 with me. Back to your right, Proverbs
20. Oh my, he that has clean hands. He that has clean hands. Proverbs 20 and verse 9. One who has never sinned, he
that has clean hands. It's not like your mama say,
go wash your hands before you come to supper. That makes you
in their hands. I don't want you sitting down
here and doing that. Go wash your hands. That dog's been licking
on you. That's not what he's talking about here. Proverbs
20, verse 9. Oh, who's going to sin? Who's
going to stand? That man or woman who's got clean hands. Watch
what it says here. Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I
am pure of my sin? Who can say that? Oh my, not only that, but look
again over here. Not only he that has clean hands, but he's
got to have a pure heart. A pure heart. A pure heart. I mean, for God
to look in your heart and see it pure, it's a promise. without sin, without any hatred,
without any animosity, without any malice, without any envy,
without any jealousy, without any pride, without any self-righteousness? Oh, who's going to do it? And,
oh, but I never imagined a thought, had an evil thought. And not
only that, but what else it says? Here's the person who's going
to do it, who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity. What
does that mean, lifted up his soul? And vanity means nothing. It means emptiness, useless.
Hasn't lifted his soul up and says, boy, I'm really something. I've really accomplished something.
I've made my... Look what I've done with myself.
I'm a self-made man. I'll tell you what, if you ever
meet one of them fellas, you've met the poorest made man you'll
ever meet. Ain't that right? You know, you've met the poorest
made man. All right, because you know this,
I'm a self-made man. You're a very, very poorly, poorly
made man. And oh my, one who has loved
God perfectly, and done nothing contrary to God himself. Not
only that, but nor sworn deceitfully. Nor sworn deceitfully. One who
has, and who does, and always has spoken perfect truth. Perfect truth. I remember one
time, years and years and years ago, I was just a kid. Got mixed
up in a family dispute. Had to go to court. They had
me so confused and so scared and so shook up. Asked me a question. I lied, you know, just come out
for it. I mean, it just, I just lied. I was scared. I said, man, I
couldn't spit. Give me a hundred dollar bill
and I couldn't spit. Just a kid, just all I turned
every way but loose. Been a lawyer, man. I mean, they
can turn you every way but loose. And you just, you got no dog
in the race, you know. Oh, it's awful. So, you know, that leaves me
out. I laid my hand on the Bible. I'm going to tell the whole truth
and nothing but the truth. Got on that standing line. You know, it didn't
cost anybody anything. And it never changed the outcome
of that whatsoever. But I was just so scared. I just
didn't come out. I had to apologize. I had to ask forgiveness. But
how I tell you, this person who had clean hands, Pure heart,
not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor restorned deceitfully." Watch
what he gets. If he's this kind of person,
and he could stand in God's presence and into heaven, he said, he
shall receive the blessing from the Lord. Who shall receive the blessing
of the Lord? Well, wait a minute. Who has ever met these conditions?
Do you know anybody that's ever met these conditions? It's only
one person has. Only one person met these conditions.
The Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus says, you know,
He said in John 3, verse 13, He says, He that first descended,
He's the very one who ascended. I ascended up to heaven, and
I descend from heaven where I even dwell. He told those fellows
one day when they were getting crucified, he said, What in this
ye shall see the Son of Man? A sin? Back to heaven. And oh, beloved, listen. The
only way in the world you and I can receive these blessings
from the Lord is to stand and be and dwell in the Lord Jesus
Christ. You know, in Him we have sinned? When He arose, we arose. The
scripture says, when He went to glory, we went to glory with
Him. When He sat down, we sat down with Him. Ain't that what
it said in Ephesians 2? And the Holy Beloved, we're accepted,
we're added in the Beloved. Is Christ standing in God's presence?
Well, in Christ we're standing in God's presence. Is Christ
dwelling in the presence of God? We're dwelling in the presence
of God. If Christ got us clean hands and a pure heart, we got
clean hands and a pure heart. Christ never lifted up His soul
unto vanity. Well, in Him, we've not lifted
up our soul, except it in the blood. He hath presented us holy
and without blame before Him in love. Oh, my. Here's the blessing we receive
from the Lord. We receive righteousness from
the God of whose salvation? Our salvation. God's salvation. He received
this righteousness, He has this righteousness, and we get the
same righteousness that He has. God made Him to be sin, and we
might be made the righteousness of God in Him. And watch this
quickly. And oh, this is the generation.
This is the people. that seek Him. This is the people
that seek Christ. This is the people that seek
Him and need Him. That seek Him, thy face. And in the margin it says, O
God of Jacob. Oh my. You know what it means
to be the God of Jacob? The first thing it means is this,
that He loves you. Jacob hath a love, he shall have
a hand. And we're seeking Him. Oh my. You know why? Who in heaven
is going to be populated by seekers and finders? By His grace, they seek the Lord. By His grace, they seek His presence.
By His grace, they seek His mercy. By His grace, they seek His righteousness. In Him, they find all they need,
and this is the true Israel. Philippians 3 says this, that
we are the true circumcision, which worship God in the Spirit. Rejoice in Christ Jesus, and
absolutely have no confidence in the flesh. Now, I can ask
you, are you truly, is what you want to hear, to receive these
blessings that ascends and stands in Christ? Do you worship God
in the Spirit? You don't bring no flesh, you
don't bring nothing, you know, nothing of your own? You worship
God in your spirit, in your heart, in your soul. And you rejoice
in Christ Jesus. Only in Him is what He did, and
who He is. And you look at yourself and
you say, that ain't a thing in the world I've ever done that
God can look on with favor. He only accepts me in Christ.
All mine. And you can say one thing. You
can say this. I'm the generation to seek Him. And then let me
quickly, it won't take me just a few minutes to say this. The true Redeemer. Verse 7. Oh, lift up your heads. And we
have the true God, the true Israel, God's people, God's elect. Lift
up your heads, O ye gates, and ye lift up your everlasting door,
and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up
your heads, O ye gates, even lift them up, ye everlasting
doors, and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King
of glory? The Lord of hosts. He is the King of glory. Oh,
the Lord Jesus Christ has met all the conditions laid down
for those who would ascend to the hill of the Lord, stand in
His presence. And how did He do it? By His own right, in His
own righteousness, He has entered in and sat down. He by Himself
purged our sins and is sat down on the right hand of the majesty
on high. You see, His hands are clean.
His heart is pure. His soul loves God perfectly.
And not only does He tell the truth, He Himself is the truth. He is the truth. He's the truth about God. He's
the truth about the Scripture. He's the truth about eternity.
He's the truth about life. He's the truth as how you approach
God. He's the truth. Therefore, therefore,
I say, lift up your heads! Oh, you gates, be lifted up,
you everlasting doors. What he said here, the gates
and doors of eternal glory have always been closed to men. Always
been closed to men. Too many things to keep us from
getting in. I mean, you know, straight as
the gate, there's a way that leads to life, but how about
getting in the glory? You think it's down here? They've
got them great big gates and them great big doors. How are
we going to get in there? How can we stay in here? How
can we not awaken God? Come up here! He said. Oh my,
too many things to keep us from entering in. But listen, the
Lord of Glory, ain't that what it says? The Lord of Glory. Who
is this King of Glory? The Lord of Glory. The Son of
Man came to this earth. And by accomplishing redemption,
crying out, it is finished, sin is put away, death is defeated,
justice is satisfied, the law has been upheld and honored.
Sin, this wrath of God, has been poured out on His holy body and
His holy soul. And He was put in a tomb. Early
one Sunday morning, the stone rolled away, and he come out
of there, and forty days and forty nights he appeared to men
and women on this earth, and then one day outside Jerusalem,
they stood there, and the Lord Jesus Christ started sending
them back to glory, and them disciples stood looking up! Two angels stood by and said,
Why are you standing here looking up? He told you to go to Jerusalem
and wait till the Holy Ghost come. Why are you looking up? The same Jesus you see going
up, he's going to come back the same way. Oh, it's finished. You see, that's
what's so glorious about the Gospel. We don't tell them what
they need to do. We tell them what Christ has
already done. What do I need to do to be saved?
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Huh? And, O beloved, nowadays,
since he's accomplished redemption, nowadays, since he's put away
sin by the sacrifice of himself, nowadays, since he's conquered
death and come out of the grave, nowadays, since God said, I'm
satisfied with him, my soul is satisfied with him, nowadays,
since he saved all of his people, and his blood has been put on
the altar in the presence of God. Now, Gates, open up! What for? The King of Glory's
coming in. And guess who's going in with
him? Everyone he's not paid for, they're
going in with him. He's taking them all with him,
David. Taking them all with him. Oh,
beloved. And who is this King of Glory?
Well, I'll tell you one thing. Glory is His name. All glory
is in Him. All glory comes from Him and
all glory is of Him. And then who is this King of
Glory, says the Lord Strong, the Lord Mighty in battle. Oh,
He alone conquered every enemy. So what was against me, sin He
put it away. What was going to sting me when
I left this world, death? What was the strength of that
sin? It was the law. He fulfilled it. Oh, bless His
holy name. And then it says here down in
the last verse, Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of Hosts.
You know what that Lord of Hosts means? That means He's the head
of all the armies. You know, there's an army in
heaven. He does as He pleases among the heavens and the earth.
Among the armies in heaven. You know, God's got an army in
heaven. Army full of angels. He said it's going to break.
When He comes back to get us, He's going to bring 10,000 saints
with Him. Just, you know, giving us an even number to show us
an indefinite amount. And, oh, beloved, He came along
to redeem. But, beloved, He's not alone
when He ascends. No. Not alone when He ascends. He's the King of glory. And you
know how many He takes with Him? A multitude that no man can number. Oh, there's an old song, and
I've heard the original version of it. It says, When the saints
go marching in, I want to be in that number. When the saints
go marching in. And when Christ goes marching
in. You know, it says in Ephesians
2, 7. I'll tell you this, and I'll swear it really, I will.
It says there that He hath quickened us together with Christ, and
raised us up, and made us sit together with Him in heavenly
places, and that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding
riches of His grace and His kindness towards us through Jesus Christ. Now, in the ages to come, you
know how long that is? That's till time runs out. He was a difficult runner. Well,
here it will, but there it don't. There it don't. There it don't. Our Father, O gracious, gracious
Father, how wonderful, how blessed, how glorious is Your name. Bless
You for Your Word, for Your Gospel. Thank You for the attention that
people pay today. Father, make the gospel run well
here. Cause it to bring forth fruit to your glory, your glory.
Father, you alone, you alone can do what needs to be done.
And Lord Jesus Christ, you alone are the Savior of sinners, and
the only righteousness that a soul can have. So make that alive
and real and affectionate to hearts and minds. We ask you
in Christ's name. Amen. Amen.
