Matthew chapter 6. The title of this message is True
Sincerity in Worship. True sincerity in worshiping
God. God does not like pretense. We don't like pretense. We don't
like it. Somebody just pretends to be
something. Even we want people to be honest,
just be who they are. And what he deals with here is
true sincerity in worship. And he's going to pick three
subjects. And all three of these happen in all religions. It doesn't
matter what religion it is, there's giving, there is praying, there
is fasting or self-denial. And our Lord teaches that there
is a true way to do these things. There's a true spirit, there's
a true attitude in which to do these things. And notice as we
go down through here how simple the Lord keeps it. How simple
worship, giving, praying, and this matter called fasting or
self-denial, how simple the Lord keeps it. When false religion
gets a hold of worship, they make a big fanfare out of it.
I mean, you can just watch all these televangelists now in these
religious programs, and it is nothing but an entertainment.
It's just a show. It's all self. There's nothing of God in it.
God's nowhere to be found in it. They just use His name. Paul
said they will come preaching another Jesus. They'll use His
name. They won't preach His character.
They won't preach the truth about Him. But they'll use His name
because they use the Bible. But our Lord gives the sincerity
here of true worship. And he says here in verse one,
it gives a warning here, take heed, take heed that you do not
your alms before men to be seen of them. You know, now people
are going to see giving, but he says, don't do it to be seen
giving. There's a difference. Don't do
it just to be seen. Otherwise you have no reward,
no blessing of your father, which is in heaven. Don't do anything
showy or for men. This is not for men. This is
not for men. It's not for our glory and it's
not to receive glory of men. True worship is of God and it
comes from the heart and it's to God. We've gathered here this
morning not to impress each other at all, but to worship. We've gathered here as God's
family to worship our Father. That's what we are here for this
morning. And a sure way to kill a blessing, to kill a blessing
of this service this morning, the sure way to kill it, is to
do what we do for the praise of each other. That'll kill it. That'll kill it. God is the soul,
God the Father. God the Father, the Son, and
the Holy Spirit. three in one, is the sole object in worship. He's the sole object in worship. We worship Him and we worship
Him in spirit and in truth. That's how we worship. That's
the only way you can worship Him. You can't worship Him any other
way. Spirit and in truth. Not in hypocrisy. As John the
Baptist said, He must increase and we must decrease. I must
decrease. I must fade out of the picture.
He's the one who's receiving all the glory and honor and worship
here this morning. Therefore, seeing this is so,
when thou doest thine alms, thy giving, whether it be to the
poor or to hear, do not sound a trumpet. A trumpet is something
loud, isn't it? You've heard trumpets. They're
loud. Don't sound a trumpet before thee. as the hypocrites do in
the synagogues and in the streets. You know, the hypocrites are
the same whether they're here or outside, aren't they? Don't
sound a trumpet as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the
streets, that they may have glory of men. Don't you know in that
crowd there was some people, you've got this multitude here,
you've got these disciples, you've got this multitude. And you had
those Pharisees mixed in there. And they are the ones that have
been standing on the corners. They are the ones that have been
standing on the corners. They pray, you know, they've
got their eyes shut, and they're praying out loud. And I bet you
they peek to see how many men are listening, to see if the
crowd's gathered. I bet you a dollar they're peeking to see if they're
getting a crowd, if they're getting an audience. That's what they're
doing. And the Lord said, He said, Don't
do this. Don't be like the hypocrites.
He's calling those Pharisees, those religious leaders. He said
they're nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. He's telling the
truth there. That they may have glory of men. I said to you, they had their
reward. Don't have your gift in one hand
and a trumpet in another hand. Blowing it. Getting people's
attention. Look what I'm giving. Look what
I'm doing. You know like these athletes,
some of these very rich people, they get ready to give a big
amount of money and then they have a media. The media shows
up and they're on TV and he says, don't do that. Don't have a trumpet
in one hand and your gift in the other for attention. God
knows. He knows all those who worship
Him and He knows all those who are just playing, pretending. He knows everyone that's Truly
He is. He knows every heart that's truly,
honestly, as best we can in His flesh. Worshipping Him, He knows
every heart that's just making a show of it. He knows it. And
if it's done to be seen of men, He says here, they have their
reward. They have their praise. Men will
praise them. They'll talk highly of them. They will have the honored men.
But after they have that, it's gone. It's gone. The only thing that lasts is
the honor that comes from God. The honor of men will be gone.
It's fickle, isn't it? It's fickle, the honor that comes
from men. And don't make a fanfare of your
giving, of doing good, of helping someone. Don't make a fanfare
out of it. Do it secretly. Secretly. But when thou doest alms, let
not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth. That's a secret,
isn't it? It's getting pretty secretive. But I believe he's saying this,
do what you do from an inward principle and work of grace.
Let it flow from a gracious heart, not getting attention. This is
our Lord instructing us. Let it flow from a gracious heart.
Spurgeon said this, hide from yourself that which is commendable. Don't acknowledge your own virtue.
Don't do it. Make nothing of it before men.
Let it be done so discreetly that thy left hand doesn't know
what thy right hand is doing. Let it be done so discreetly.
Do all that we do with true humility, true meekness, true humility,
true grace, and true love to God and the brethren. He says,
do it that way. And with an eye to our Father's
glory. When we give, we give as unto what? The Lord. We give
as unto Him. No one else even needs to know
it. No one else needs to even see it. If they do, so what? But we don't make a fanfare out
of it. And if we give anything, If we are able to give anything,
He's the one who deserves all the glory, isn't He? Is He not
the one who gave it to you? He's the one who gives us the
means and the desire and the heart to give. So all glory belongs
to Him. All honor, all praise belongs
to our Heavenly Father. That thine alms, there in verse
4, that thine alms may be in secret And thy father which seeth
in secret," he sees the heart, he sees the heart, he looks upon
the heart, he seeth in secret, himself shall reward thee, he
shall bless thee openly, openly. He sees the heart of the giver.
There is not one heart hid from him. Not one. He sees the heart of
the giver. He sees the heart of the worshipper. He sees it.
If it's true, he gave it. If it's a true heart of worship,
he's the one who gave it. And he sees it. And he will bless
openly, abundantly. You will never go broke giving
to God in secret. Never. True worship is not for men to
see. We're not gathering here for
men to see or someone to see us so they can see that we showed
up and that we're religious. No, true worship is God. It's the worship of God. It's the worship of our Father.
We are worshiping our Heavenly Father. We are praising our Heavenly
Father. We are giving honor to our Heavenly
Father for all that He's done for us in Christ. But we're giving
praise to Him for who He is. Holy and Reverend is His name. We worship Him. Now He moves
on to prayer. I find prayer to be difficult. I've never found prayer to be
easy. Especially when you lead publicly
in prayer. I've never found that to be easy. So He moves on here to prayer.
And when thou prayest, Thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are,
for they love to pray. Those Pharisees, they love to
pray. They get up to pray standing in the streets, standing in the
synagogues and then in the corners of the streets. They love to
do it, he said. The hypocrites love to look religious. They love to do religious things.
They love to stand before the people and just, oh, you know,
the hand of God is on him. They just think this man has
power with God. They love that. There's no humility in it at
all. They love to stand, standing, always, constantly, in the synagogues
and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men.
Seen of men. Verily I say unto you, they have
their reward. They have their reward. When thou prayest, he says, God's
people are a praying people. They are a praying people. Just
as sure as they breathe, they pray. They call upon their Father. They can't help but pray. Moved
to pray by the Spirit of God. They are a praying people. And
they always pray to their Father. But they don't do it for attention
from men. You know, giving and praying
are easily perverted by the hypocrites. These things here that our Lord
is mentioning, talking about, are easily perverted by hypocrites.
They take these things that are serious, these things that are
parts of worship. Giving, praying, and self-denial
are parts of worship. They enter into worship of God.
But the hypocrites take and they pervert these things, and they
want to be seen of men. They want men to just honor them
and think highly of them. They don't think anything of
God. The hypocrite doesn't think anything
of God. He's not giving God the glory. He's thinking of himself. I'll tell you this, if it's done
correctly, if it's done correctly, it comes from a regenerated heart. to truly give and to truly pray
come from the heart that's of God. And the hypocrite, he doesn't
have that. The hypocrite doesn't have that.
The hypocrite does not know these things. All he had is an evil
motive to be seen as man, not God. That Pharisee in the temple
says this, he prayed what? Thus with himself. He didn't pray with God. He prayed
thus with himself. That sinner prayed, Lord, be
merciful to me, this sinner. But that Pharisee prayed thus
with himself. He was so enamored by his own prayers. He thought,
man, I really prayed a good one here. Surely God heard me. Surely God's impressed with what
I had to say. He was so impressed with himself,
he prayed thus with himself. That's the hypocrite. And I'll tell you this. The audience of men is a poor
reward. Audience with God. Think about
this now. Audience with God. God who is
holy, just, and good. God who is light. To have an
audience with Him. Oh, my soul. As that commercial
says, priceless. Priceless. He says they have
their reward. They have the honor they're looking
for. They have all that respect of
men. But what's that worth? What's
that worth? Well, it's just nothing more
than one worm bragging on another. That's all it is. But thou, thou my children, thou my disciples,
when thou prayest, Enter into your closet. For when thou hast shut thy door,
pray to thy Father which is in secret, and thy Father which seeth in
secret shall reward thee openly." Don't follow these false religious
hypocrites. Don't follow them. Don't be impressed
with them. Don't get sidetracked with them. Don't think, boy,
they make me look bad. They're standing out here, they're
doing all this religious stuff, and don't get sidetracked with
that. He said they're hypocrites. They
are hypocrites. Don't follow Christ. How many
times you go through the Gospels, it says he went apart. He went
apart to pray. If anyone could have stood in
the crowd and prayed, he could have. But when he prayed,
he went apart. And there was times he prayed
all night by himself. He went by himself and prayed
all night. Even his disciples, he said,
he told them to stay awake and to watch him. He was in the Garden
of Gethsemane while he went away. He went away from them. He said,
you stay here and watch. And I'm going to go beyond her.
I'm going to go off by myself. I'm going to get off by myself
with God. Because prayer is this, it's
between me and God. It's not between me and you and
everybody else in God. It's between me and God. God
the Father. It's a conversation. It's a communion between me and
my Father. It's not a show. It's not a circus. It's a real
communion between me and my Father. Find a secluded spot. Find a secluded spot where no
one can bother you. And no one can be impressed with
you. And you don't have to think, well, I wonder what they thought
of that. I wonder what they thought of that prayer. You find a secluded
spot, then you call on your Father. Then you pray. Prayer is communion
between you and your Father, and it's not for anyone else
to say. Christ said to those Pharisees,
you honor me with your lips. They're standing there on the
corner in the synagogue. They make like they're honoring
God. He said, your heart is far from me. Your heart is far from
me. He says here, you go enter into
your closet, and you call on your Father which is in secret,
and He'll answer thy prayer openly. He'll bless you. He'll answer. He'll hear. He'll answer you. When you pray, don't make a fanfare
out of it, and don't use vain repetitions. We have this Catholic
channel on our TV cable. I caught this some time ago. There's this elderly lady on
there and she starts this Hail Mary, Mother of God, Lord of
Grace, something like that. The reason I can remember part
of it is because I listened for 15 minutes and it didn't change.
It did not change. Hail Mary, Mother of God, full
of grace, help us, poor sinner, blah, blah, blah. And that's
what it was like, blah, blah, blah. I mean, that's all it was
worth. But she said that, and I thought, how long is this going
to go on? I was waiting for her to say
something else. But for 15 minutes, and I finally turned it, and
I sat there and watched that for 15 minutes, and she never said
another thing. But that phrase, and then, of course, all the
other ones there behind her, the ladies that was there. I
guess it was the ladies in training probably. But they were there
and they just repeated it after her. Then she'd say it, then
they'd repeat it. Then she'd say it. He said, don't use vain reprieve
as the heathen. As the heathen do. They think. He said, they think. And this is their first problem.
They don't understand who God is. So they think that they shall
be heard for their much speaking. No heart, just memorized words
going to impress God. Gang up on God. Use these same
words. We all say the same thing, same time, and gang up on God.
And we'll convince Him. God is not impressed with our
words. He looks on the heart. He does
business in the heart. And he will not be convinced
to act or to do by repetitious words over and over and over. God hears what's in the heart.
That's what he hears. And we are heard, for Christ's
sake, not much speaking. Not vain, he said, vain repetition. No heart in it. It's superstitious. It's superstition. It's all of
this. They say this so, he said, the heathen do this. They just
chant, do these chants and they just do it over and over and
over thinking that they're going to finally get God to act. He said, don't use vain repetition.
Spurgeon said, repetition's fine. It's vain repetition. That's
the problem. So be not ye therefore like unto
them. Don't be like them. Don't copy
them. Don't be impressed with them. For your Father knoweth
what things you have need of before you ask Him. And He's
speaking here to His children, the disciples. There's a crowd
listening, but He's speaking to His children. And there's
some children out there in that crowd, that multitude. They just
don't know it yet, some of them. But there's some of them out
there. And He's speaking to His children. Because he says, you're
a father. And God's not the father of all
men. So he said, be not therefore like them. Prayer is not informing
God. Don't act or pray as if you're
informing God. I'll tell you what true prayer
does. It conforms us to the will of God. That's what it does. We pray for something and we
may pray for it again and again. And then all of a sudden we start
saying, Lord, your will be done in this. Your will be done in
this. Whatever it is, whatever it is,
thy will be done. And that's what he'll teach us
here in a minute. He says here, let me read the
rest of that. For your Father knoweth what things you have
need of. Aren't you glad of that? Aren't you glad of that? We don't
even really know what we have needed, but he does. He does. And then he gives the disciples
here how to pray. The model prayer.
This is the model prayer. And this prayer is not for everyone.
As I said, God is not the father of all men. He's the judge of
all. He's not the father of all. After this manner, therefore,
pray ye, Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed, I read you
Psalm 111, holy and reverend is thy name. Hallowed be thy
name. This commands honor and respect
in us toward our Father when we first call on him. That's
the first thing we do is recognize, hallowed, holy is thy name. Reverend is his name. Somebody
called me that the other day. There's a realtor. Well, she's
getting 20 some thousand dollars. He's going to call me anything.
And he's going to call me anything he thinks will make me happy. But he said, hey, Reverend John.
I said, who is this? I did. I just said, who is this?
He goes, this is, you know, he said his name. I better watch
him on the internet. He said his name. Holy and Reverend
is his name. It's not my name. I am a pastor,
but I'm not reverend. You know, when we did the radio
station, I told him, don't put that on his advertisement. Don't
use that name. Don't put reverend John Jackman
on there, pastor. Holy and reverend is his name.
These are serious matters. These aren't things we just say,
well, you're just picking. No, I'm not picking. Holy and
reverend is his name. You don't attach that to a human
being. That belongs to God. And as our Father, He is to be
praised, honored, and worshipped. Worshipped. Oh, adored. Adored. He is the One who began
us of His own will with the Word of Truth. He is our Father. He
is to be praised and honored and worshipped. He is to be highly
spoken of and highly spoken to. We don't speak to God in prayer
flippantly. I've heard some very flippant
prayers in my lifetime. I've heard some very flippant
prayers. We don't use that kind of language. We need to teach our children
that at a very young age, when we call upon God, it's serious
business. It's serious business. We honor
Him. and show respect unto Him. And
we speak of Him highly and we speak to Him in the same manner. As our Father, He is to be called
upon in all matters. Not just the big ones. You know,
we can handle the little ones. No, you can't. You and I cannot
handle anything. Really. He remembereth our frame
that is dust. And it would do us well to remember
that. We're the ones that have a problem remembering it. Call upon our Father in all matters. Sometimes I think if I would
call sooner it wouldn't be as bad. It wouldn't get as bad.
It's all matters. No matter is too small. No matter
is too small. Not at all. Our Father is all
wise. He's infinite wisdom. He's all
powerful. Therefore, we run to Him at all
times. You want your children to run
to you at all times, don't you? You do. Little children, you
say, come to me. What do you need? What's wrong? We need to come the same way
to our Heavenly Father. And as our Father, we look to
Him for everything we need, especially spiritual. Everything we need
to stand before Him, we look to Him for in Christ. And we
have it. We have it. And then we pray, Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. We pray for
that which belongs to Him. Oh, Thy kingdom come. I can honestly
say, I would to God that the fullness of His kingdom would
come right now and put an end to all this. Can you say that? I would that
His kingdom would come right now. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be
done in earth as it is in heaven. This kingdom was purchased by
the blood of Jesus Christ. His righteousness is the righteousness
of that kingdom. In that kingdom is nothing but
holiness and love and grace and kindness I mean, in His kingdom. Why? What a kingdom is coming. This world is just so bad. You
just hate to turn the news on. It's just so bad. But not His. Not His kingdom. Nothing that
offends will enter His kingdom. Oh, Lord, let it come. Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done. Total submission. I'm thinking about bringing the
message next Sunday on just this. Thy will be done. But here it
is. Just total submission. Total
submission to our Father. His will is wise. It's holy.
It's good. Why should it not be done? Lord, give me the heart to totally
submit to Your will. And then give us this day our
daily bread, daily dependency. We need to recognize, and our
Lord is teaching this here in this prayer, a recognition of
daily dependence on our Father. We have a tendency to forget
that. We have a tendency. A man told me one time that professed
to believe the gospel. He said, well, if I didn't have
a certain amount in my bank account, he said, I don't know what I'd
do. He said, it would worry me to death. And this man, you know,
I was shocked. It does us well to say, give
us this day, our daily bread. It's far better to have that,
and that reality, and that understanding, than it is to have millions of
dollars in the bank. To have this, can't be a price
put on it. I'll tell you what else this
shows here. Give us this day our daily bread.
If you can truly pray that, that shows a real contentment. That
shows a real contentment in Christ. Lord, just give me what I need
today. And that's enough. That shows
real contentment. But we must always recognize
where our daily help comes from. It's not that I'm brilliant,
overly gifted. It's my Heavenly Father just
gives me my daily bread. Sends it to my house or gives
me the ability and the means to get it. You know, a daily
bread can mean my job. It makes money to buy the bread. Give me what I need today. Take
care of my family. Take care of my needs. Lord,
you supply. You supply. And notice here how
he broadens the prayer. Give us what? Our daily bread. Not mine. It's not give me my daily bread.
It's Lord give us our. Lord bless them. Bless them as
you'd bless me. Help my brothers as you'd help
me. This prayer is all-inclusive of the family. This does not apply to all people,
but you're blessed and you're happy when you see your family
prospering, don't you? You enjoy it. I mean, I've got
brothers and sisters, and it thrills me when I know they've
got a good job and things are going well. That doesn't make
me, I'm not jealous of it. That's by the grace of God. I'm
happy for it. Give us our daily bread. Give
my brother his daily bread as much as me. And He calls it daily bread because
all we have is today. You may not need it tomorrow
if you know it. There's a whole lot of people today who won't
need it tomorrow. They're going to simply be gone.
They'll be gone. The Lord fed Israel with manna. What? Every day. It was new every
day. And it didn't last. If they kept it till the morning,
it would stink. It would stink. It would breed
worms. No, we trust Him. We trust Him
to provide our daily needs and forgive us our debts. Oh, we
got many of them. Many of them. Well, I don't owe
anybody. I paid everything off. We are debtors to the grace of
God. No one is in debt like we are. Debtors to the grace of God.
We need daily bread, but we need daily forgiveness, don't we?
You know, forgiveness is just not, it's not something that
we, we are forgiven when the Lord forgives us and pardons
us, we're forgiven. That's taken care of. But we
ask for daily forgiveness because we daily sin. We sin daily. We need daily forgiveness as
well as our daily bread. We need daily cleansing. You
know, Christ has paid the sin debt. But daily we acknowledge,
daily we acknowledge our sin and seek forgiveness through
the blood and righteousness of Christ. Lord, forgive me. Forgive
me that attitude. Forgive me the word I spoke that
was just unkind. Forgive me of that. A man who
doesn't seek that kind of forgiveness, he doesn't know what forgiveness
is. He's never experienced it. Never has. Never has. And lead
us not, here is preservation and perseverance, and lead us
not into temptation. And that's not temptation to
sin. We saw that in James. He doesn't tempt any man with
evil. God is not tempted with evil, neither tempted he any
man. But lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For
thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory. It all belongs
to you. Everything's in your hands. Providentially, providentially,
trials come our way. Lord, preserve me. Preserve me
in the trials. Go with, don't leave me alone
in trials. When you go through the water,
He said, I'll be with you. Lord, be with me. Be with me
in this. Be with us in this. Be with us. Leave me not alone. This shows
our utter dependence upon Him. It's not I'll call upon you when
I need you. No. Leave me not alone. Leave me not alone. And deliver
us, first of all, from evil that's
within. Deliver us from the evil one.
I know that. But you know, I don't need Satan
to be evil. I was born with that nature. I mean, Satan could just
be annihilated and never exist again. And you and I would still
be evil by nature. Deliver us from the evil within.
Deliver me from that evil murmuring, complaining when I go through
the trials. Deliver me from those things. And then deliver me from
the evil one, like you did Job. He allowed Satan to touch you,
but he delivered Job from the evil one. The Lord said, Peter,
Satan has desire to sift you as wheat. But I prayed for you
that your faith fell off. Lord, don't leave me there. And
he prays here, and for thine is the kingdom. You see, all
of it is His. All the power is His. All the
glory is His. It was bought by the blood and
righteousness of Christ. It's all His. Everything belongs
to Him. And all the honor belongs to
Him. So let's give it to Him. Let's
give unto Him the glory and honor that's due unto His name. He says in verse 14, For if you
forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also
forgive you. Grace begets graciousness, doesn't it? That's what He's
teaching here. Grace begets graciousness. If
you've been forgiven, I promise you, you'll forgive. You won't
be able to keep from it. You just can't keep from it.
You can't keep a grudge and keep it going and going. No, you can't
do it. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the
world. He won't allow it. No. A forgiving spirit is of God.
It's a mark of sonship. A mark of sonship. But if you
forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive
you your trespasses. Hypocrites. Here's why I say
it. Hypocrites don't know anything about mercy. They bear a grudge
and they keep it. They remember it and they let
it fester. One person said this, those who
are unforgiving are unforgiven. They'll never taste the mercy
of God. And it's evident. It's evident
they're not His. They call Him Father, but He's
not their Father. He's not their Father. Now moreover,
He's going to speak here of fasting. Self-sacrifice, and this was
done a lot under the law back in the old, especially the Old
Testament. Moreover, when you fast, be not
as the hypocrites of a sad countenance, for they disfigure their faces,
that they may appear unto men to fast. They want men to see
this. They want to see how, oh, you
see how religious I am. This is, you know, they beat
themselves. The Lord said, don't do this,
don't do this. Now there are no direct commands
regarding how long or for what purpose to fast. It's left to the individual burden
of the heart, one writer said, whether you fast or not. Spurgeon
said this, fasting is subjecting the desires of the body to the
burden of the heart. It's not a show for men. It's
not a show for me. It's between you and God. And the Lord says, when you do
this, when you deny yourself for a particular burden that
your heart is so burdened over, that you just, you know, like
Jacob said, I'll not let you go until you bless me. You're
just so burdened that you don't want to do anything else but
get an answer. He said, when you do this and
your heart is so burdened over this, anoint your head. Anoint that head and wash your
face when you go out in public, when you go to the worship service.
Go about your daily business just like you normally would.
Because this burden is between you and God. It's not between
you and me and you're not trying to make a show of it. Religion
is not a show. It's a worship and a communion
with God Almighty. It is praying, it's giving, and
it's denying oneself. That's what's involved in worship.
And it's before God. In verse 18, that thou appear
not unto men to fast. You see, they'd stand in the
street, in the synagogues in the street, and they would pray,
and they would just make long prayers, and they would They
would do their giving, they'd sound a trumpet, they made sure
everybody knew that they were helping somebody. And then they
would fast, and they would have a day of fasting, and they'd
make sure everybody saw it. But God, and He's the only one
that we should be concerned with, seeing. Thou, God, seest me. That's worship. This fasting, this self-denying
is between us and the Father. This burden of the heart is between
you and your Heavenly Father. Our Lord is teaching us this.
Keep true worship. And these things are involved
in true worship. Giving, praying, self-denial. These things are involved in
it. Keep it honest. Keep it honest and keep it between
you and God. These things here, because they're
so perverted. They're so perverted by false religion and the hypocrites,
he said. They're so perverted. What you
do is bring you and God in the heart. In the heart.
