I invite you to turn back with
me if you will this morning to the book of 1 Timothy chapter
1. I want to read this morning verse
9 and 10 and 11 and then verse 17. Verse 9, 10 and 11 and then
verse 17. Knowing this, that the law is
not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient,
for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers
of fathers, murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for whoremongers,
for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers,
for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing
that is contrary to sound doctrine according to the glorious gospel
of the blessed God which was committed to my trust. Then verse 17 now unto the king
eternal immortal Invisible the only wise God the honor and glory
forever and ever Amen Now I hope this morning if God will enable
me to preach on the subject of sound doctrine sound doctrine
Now I know that And I think that I should express
this. I think that most of you are also aware of this and are
in sympathy with it. This church here is, we're not
running a business here. We come here and meet here to
glorify God, to honor God, and to worship our God. And we want to be a faithful
witness of what God has been pleased to reveal to us, we do
not want to be found lying on God. We want to tell the truth,
we want to preach the truth, and we want all those who hear
us to have an understanding of the truth of God as it's revealed
in the Word. Now we know that no man has ever
preached the gospel who did not preach the truth about God as
He is revealed on the pages of the Bible. He never preached
the gospel unless he preached the truth about God as he's revealed
in the scriptures. Neither did he ever preach the
gospel unless he preached the truth about man as he is described
in the scriptures. And also he must preach the biblical
truth of Jesus Christ He is indescribable, glorious person, and his effectual
redemption of his people. And unless he preaches that,
he never preaches the gospel. And then he must preach Christ's
righteousness as the sinner's only and full, eternal justification. These things are absolutely necessary
to the preaching of the gospel. And that he must preach justification
by faith alone, in Christ alone. And he must preach saving, justifying
faith, not as a momentary decision, but a living, lifelong walk. with the living God. And until
you preach those things, you do not preach the gospel and
have not preached the gospel of the glorious God or the blessed
God which Paul says was committed to his trust. Now in verse 10
he talks about those things that are contrary to sound doctrine. Now there are but two forms of
religion in the world, one is true and the other is false. They cannot both be true. One
is true and the other is false. One is saving and the other is
damning. Those two forms of religion are
number one, free grace, and number two, free will. Free grace declares
that salvation is the work of God alone. Now free will declares
that salvation is at least in part the work of man. Free grace declares that salvation
is conditioned upon the obedience of Jesus Christ alone as the
sinner's substitute. Free will declares that salvation
is ultimately and finally conditioned upon the obedience of the sinner
himself. Now you hear me this morning,
I want you to listen to me carefully. Any doctrine that makes salvation
Any doctrine that makes eternal life and acceptance with God
and the reward of the heavenly inheritance to be dependent upon
or determined by you at any point or in any measure is contrary
to sound doctrine. Did you get that? Did you get
what I said? Listen to it again. Any doctrine
that makes salvation Any doctrine that makes eternal life, any
doctrine that makes acceptance with God and the reward of the
heavenly inheritance to be depended upon or determined by you at
any point or in any measure is contrary to sound doctrine. Now to receive, believe, or embrace
such a doctrine A doctrine that says that salvation, acceptance
with God, eternal life, is dependent upon you or conditioned upon
your obedience, in any part, is damning to your soul. Now,
we're Calvinist here. We believe in the doctrines of
grace. And we attempt to preach those
doctrines from this pulpit. Now here are five points of divine
truth which all doctrine, I believe, must be examined in the light
of. Anything that is contrary to
or in any measure diminishes, these five points must be rejected
as heresy. Now that's what I believe. That's
exactly what I believe. Now let me give you quickly these
five doctrines. Now I'm not going to spend any
time on these, but I just want to give them to you. Spurgeon
said, and I believe that Charles Haddon Spurgeon was one of the
greatest preachers of the gospel of the grace of God since the
Apostle Paul. And Charles Haddon Spurgeon said
that you cannot preach the gospel without preaching the old doctrines
that we call Calvinism. You just simply can't do it.
Now I recognize that John Calvin lived long after the Bible was
written, but the doctrines of grace were in the Bible before
John Calvin was ever thought of except in the mind of God.
The Doctrines of Grace, Augustine, Paul, and others that were writers
of Scripture. Now I didn't mean to say that
Augustine was a writer of Scripture, he was not. But Paul and others
who were writers of the scripture believed and preached the doctrines
of God's grace. Now the first doctrine that we're
concerned about, and which all other doctrines must be examined
in the light of, is the doctrine of total depravity. which means
that all men by nature are both sinful and helpless and teaches
that all men are spiritually dead before God. You could read
such scriptures as Matthew chapter 15 and verses 16 through 19 where
it talks about the heart of man and that which defiles the man,
how it comes out of the heart of man, that man has a bad He
has a corrupt, he has a sinful heart. And then Ephesians 2 verses
1 through 5 where it talks about men being dead in trespasses
and sins. And where it talks about the
life that believers lived prior to their being converted and
brought and regenerated by the Spirit of God unto a heavenly
life. that it was all darkness and
blackness and sinful. And this reveals and shows the
depravity of human nature. Now the second truth is unconditional
election. God from eternity, this means,
chose a people in Jesus Christ whom He determined to save without
consideration of anything in them or anything that might be
done by them. That's what the Scripture teaches.
John 15 and 16 says, You have not chosen me, but I have chosen
you and ordained you that you should go and bring forth fruit
and that your fruit might remain. Now, if you wanted to jot down
a reference, you could read Romans 9, verses 11 through 16, where
it talks about the sons there of Jacob, or where it talks about
Jacob and Esau, and how that Jacob was come forth as one of
God's elect, and that the two boys, Jacob and Esau, neither
of them having done any good or evil, how that the purpose
of God according to election would stand. Now also you could
read Ephesians 1 verses 3 through 6 where you find that glorious
verse in verse 4 where it says according as ye have chosen us
in him before the foundation of the world that we should be
holy and without blame before him in love. And in 2 Thessalonians
2 and 13 where it says but we're bound to give thanks always to
God for you brethren Beloved of the Lord, because God hath
from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification
of the truth, sanctification of the Spirit, and the belief
of the truth. And so this is the doctrine of
unconditional election, and all doctrines must be judged on the
basis of that doctrine, whether or not it's true. Now, the third
thing is limited atonement. Christ died for and redeemed
His elect only. The benefits of Christ's death
are limited to the elect. And His death effectually secures
their salvation. And I rejoice in that every day
that I live, the longer I live, in that the death of Christ effectually
secures the salvation of His people. John 10 and 11 says,
I am the Good Shepherd, and the Good Shepherd giveth his life
for the sheep. And then we have irresistible
grace. God the Holy Spirit calls sinners
from spiritual death to spiritual life in Christ by the power of
His grace, which cannot be successfully resisted. In Psalm 65 and 4,
listen to this verse, blessed is the man whom thou choosest
and calls us to approach unto thee. Other words, God calls
this, He chooses, and then He calls this, His people to approach
unto Him. In Psalm 110 and 3, Thy people
shall be willing in the day of thy power. In John 6 and 63,
It is the Spirit that quickeneth the flesh, profiteth nothing. And Jesus said, The words that
are speaking to you, they are Spirit and they are alive. And then the fifth thing is the
perseverance of the saints. And I run into people, I did
this week, into an individual when I mentioned the doctrine
of the perseverance of the saints, he just trembled all over. He
just simply cannot believe such a doctrine, that individual cannot.
But nevertheless, it is a doctrine that is taught from the pages
of the Bible, and I want you to listen to what I have to say
about it. Every sinner chosen of God in election, redeemed
by Christ at Calvary, and called by the Spirit in grace, shall
persevere in grace unto eternal glory, because they're all preserved
and kept by a faithful God who doesn't do anything halfway. And what God does, nothing can
be added to it or taken from it. All God's elect, as I told
this individual, Every one of God's elect are saved, and they're
saved for all eternity. That might leave you out, it
might leave me out, but whoever belongs to God, whoever God chose,
and whoever Christ died for, they are saved eternally. And
there's no question about that as far as the Bible is concerned,
John 10, 27-30. Jesus says that he calls his
own sheep by name, and he leads them out. And I give unto my
sheep eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall
any man pluck them out of my hand. And my Father which gave
them me is greater than all, and no man can pluck them out
of his hand. Now if any man preaches anything
contrary to these things, I believe that that man is a false prophet
and he's a deceiver of men's souls. Now that's what I believe
and that's what I think that this church here stands for.
Now I want you to turn to Psalm 135 and look at verse 5 and 6.
Psalm 135 and look at verse 5 and 6. For I know that the Lord is
great, and that our Lord is above all
gods. Whatsoever the Lord pleased,
that did he in heaven and in earth, in the seas, and all deep
places. Now Martin Luther wrote to Erasmus
and said this, he said, your thoughts of God are too human. Your thoughts of God are too
human. Now with those words, I believe
that Martin Luther exposed the essential fallacy of all false
religion. I lay this charge against all
preachers of free will works religion. Their thoughts of God
are too human. That's exactly what I would like
to say this morning to every preacher of free will, works
religion in the city of Great Falls is your thoughts of God
are too human. God's charge against apostate
Israel was in Psalm 50 and 21, thou thoughtest that I was altogether
such and one as thyself. You thought that I was just like
you. That was your idea about me. And that, my friend, is his indictment
against the religious world of our day. It's that God says,
you think that I'm just like you. Now, men today imagine that
God is moved by sentiment rather than by the determination of
his own will. They think that God is moved
by sentiment other than by the determination of his own will. They talk about omnipotence,
but they imagine that it is such an idle fiction that Satan and
men can thwart the power of God. If they speak of God's plan,
the preacher of our day tells us that it must, like the plans
of men, be subject to constant change, adjusting to the whims
and fancies of feeble flesh. That's what they tell us. And
they tell us that God's power, His plan, His will, and His sovereignty
must be limited lest He violate man's free will and reduce him
to a robot. Now that's what these preachers
around us are saying today. The grace of God is represented
by these false religionists as a helpless, frustrated desire
in God's heart to save people who will not allow Him to save
them. Now the precious blood of Christ,
we're told, was shed in vain for many wasted, if you please,
upon the multitudes who finally perish. and spend eternity in
the lake of fire. And the saving power of the Holy
Spirit is reduced to a gentle offer of grace which waits upon
the will of man to make it effectual. Now let me say, beloved, that
such thoughts of God are too human. Such a God as they talk
about is no God at all, in my estimation. In reality, the religionists
of our day are atheists. For there is no possible alternative
between a God who is absolutely sovereign and no God at all. There is no alternative. Stephen Sharnock said this, he
said, God and sovereignty are inseparable. You cannot separate
them. I gave you that a few weeks ago
as the quote of the week. And you can take it down again
as a quote of the week. God and sovereignty are inseparable. A God whose will can be resisted,
whose purpose can be frustrated, whose power can be thwarted,
whose grace can be nullified, whose work can be overturned
has no title to deity. None whatsoever. Such a God is
not a fit object of worship. And no solemn assembly should
ever be called to worship such a God as this that we've described. And we should not come in honor
of any such God. Because this God is not the God
of the Bible. Such a puny, pygmy God merits
nothing but contempt. He is not the God of the Bible,
and we're here to worship the God of the Bible of whom the
text says, our God is in the heavens. He hath done whatsoever
he pleased. Whatsoever the Lord pleased,
the Bible says, that did He in heaven and in earth, in the seas
and in all deep places. Does this sound like a God who
is frauded? Does this sound like a God who
doesn't have the power to bring to pass His will and His perfect
way? When I say God is sovereign,
I'm just simply saying that God is God. That's what I'm saying.
I'm not saying anything more than that. I'm just saying that
God is God. To deny His sovereignty is to
deny His Godhead. Mark it down. You just simply
destroy your God if you deny His sovereignty. Now you might
as well speak of a God who is not eternal, a God who is not
holy, a God who is not immutable. Speak of a God who is not sovereign. You might just as well. And would
you say well God's not holy? Would you say that God's not
eternal? Would you say that he's not immutable?
Well then don't say he's not sovereign because you might as
well say the other things if you say that. Sovereignty and
deity stand or fall together. And don't ever lose that out
of your mind. Now turn with me to Psalm 115
and look at verse 3. Psalm 115 and look at verse 3. But our God is in the heavens.
Here it is again. Our God is in the heavens. He
hath done whatsoever He hath pleased. Now that's plain isn't
it? That's very plain and it simply teaches and it tells us
here that that God is absolutely sovereign and that He does as
He pleases. Now to say that God is sovereign
is to declare that God is God and that He's the Most High,
He's Lord of Heaven and Earth, and that He's God over all, He's
God, blessed forever. That's what it means to say that
God is sovereign. Now God is subject to none. He's
subject to none and He is influenced by none. He is absolutely independent
of and He's sovereign over all His creatures. He does as He
pleases and only as He pleases and always as He pleases. Daniel 4 and verse 35 tells us
that He does according to His will in the armors of heaven
and among the inhabitants of the earth and that none can say
unto Him, What doest thou? And none can stay His hand. In Isaiah 46 and 10, if you've
got your Bible and will turn with me there, listen to what
this verse says. He declares the end from the
beginning and from ancient times the things that are not yet done
saying my counsel shall stand and I will do all my pleasure. I will do all my pleasure. I cannot describe to you the
feeling that came over my soul when I read that scripture and
meditated upon it yesterday when it says I will do Oh, my pleasure! Our God is in the heavens, and
He had done whatsoever He pleased, and He said, whatever pleases
Me, whatever is My pleasure, that's what I do. That's exactly
what I do. He pleases Himself, and He always
pleases Himself in what He does. You say, well, I don't know that
I like that. You don't have to like it, my
friend, but I want to tell you it's true. It's desperately true.
You say, well, it looks like a lot of things are out of counter.
It may look like that they're out of culture to you, but if
you could see it from God's standpoint, it's not out of culture. It's
just exactly like it ought to be, and God's doing His own will
and His own pleasure. Now, divine sovereignty means
that God sits upon the throne of universal dominion, directing
all things, ruling all things, working all things, after the
counsel of his own will. Ephesians 1 and 11 says, in whom
also we have obtained an inheritance being predestinated according
to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel
of his own will. And what that means is that everything
that God does has the stamp of sovereignty upon it. He does
everything according to His own will, the counsel of His own
will. God counseled with Himself only. He didn't counsel with anybody
else, he counseled with himself. And he determined this is the
way it will be, and so it's that way. And everything that God
does, I say what God does, has the stamp of sovereignty upon
it. Now I want you to notice four
works of God which display his sovereignty. I want to give you
four works of God which I think and believe that greatly display
the sovereignty of God, has the stamp of sovereignty upon it. Number one, predestination is
the work of God's sovereignty. Let me say that. Before the world
began, God chose some to be the objects of His saving grace and
He predestinated those elect ones to be conformed to the image
of the Lord Jesus Christ. He predestinated them to be conformed
to the image of the Lord Jesus Christ. to the image of his son. Romans 8, you could read verses
29 through 30 there, and you could see that God's sovereignty
determined that he would save who he would save, how he would
save, and when he would save them. Now having determined these
things, he infallibly secured his eternal purpose of grace
by predestination. That's exactly what he did. He
determined he would do it, And He secured that by predetermining
that that's the way it would be. His infallible purpose would
be secured by predestination. God's predestinated from eternity
everything that comes to pass in time to secure the salvation
of His elect. Is that alright? I believe it
is. Everything that has to do with
our being brought into the fold, everything that has to do with
our being finally under the sound of the gospel, or us being brought
to the place where God regenerates our soul, all of this were predestinated
by God. It is written, beloved, in 2
Corinthians 5 and 18, and all things Are of God that's what it says
and all things are of God if you'll examine the context It's
talking about all things having to do with the new creation Regeneration
us being made new creatures in Christ Jesus all things passing
away all things becoming new and all things are of God now
second I said first that predestination is a display of the sovereignty
of God, the stamp of God's sovereignty is upon it. It's a work of sovereignty. Now secondly, creation is the
work of God's sovereignty. Genesis 1 and 1, in the beginning,
in the beginning God, in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. That's
what it says. Now in Revelation 4 and 11, it
says this, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and
power, for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure
they are and were created. That's pretty plain, isn't it?
You'd have a difficult time reading anything else into that except
divine sovereignty that God created it because it pleased Him and
He created it for His pleasure and He created it in order that
it would be to the end the means of His elect people coming home
to Him and they being like His Son. Creation. Now nothing moved
God to create except his own sovereign will. That's what moved
him to do it. You say, why did God make this
thing? Nothing moved him except his
own sovereign will. What could move him when there
was nothing but God himself? And that's all there was before
God spake the creation into existence. What could have moved him? What
could have influenced him? Nothing but God himself moved
him to make this thing. Now then he created the universe
and all things in it that he might carry out his purpose of
grace toward his elect for the glory of his whole name. You
know you've got to quit and so many people they just simply
don't have the ability to do this because they don't know
the gospel and because they don't know the truth of the scriptures.
Many people who talk about the creation theory do not understand
why God built this thing in the first place. Well, it was that
he might carry out his purpose of grace toward his elect for
the glory of his own name. God is selfish in this thing.
He didn't create this whole thing in order that some people might
just be able to come here and live here in the world and build
a great name for themselves, in order that men might build
it up and call attention to themselves and call buildings after themselves.
No! It was for the purpose of His
grace toward His elect, for the ultimate glory of His name that
He built this thing, that it stands to this good hour. And
we need to keep that in mind. Let these historians and these
teachers in school, let them talk all they want to, but they
don't understand what this thing is here for. And I've told you
this morning, and I tell you again, it's for the purpose of
His grace toward His elect, for the glory of His name. And that
God is selfish, the God we worship, and He's jealous, and this is
the reason for all this thing. Mark it down. And you'll learn
something from this. Now third thing that I see that
is a mark of God's sovereignty and displays the sovereignty
of God is providence. Providence is the work of God's
sovereignty. Now you can read in Romans 8
28 very familiar verse and we know that all things work together
for good to them that love God and Romans 11 36 now you listen
to this Romans 11 36 for of him and Through him and to him are
all things to whom be glory forever amen sounds like to me that he's
the God of providence and that everything's set up, everything's
designed, everything is working according to His sovereign purpose
and His sovereign decree. In Providence, God rules the
universe sovereignly accomplishing that which He purposed in eternity,
which God purposed from old eternity. He's busy right now in this world
carrying out, performing, working it out. God's providence rules
over everything, animate and inanimate, great and small, even
over all thoughts, wills, words and deeds of all men, angels
and devils. Is that all right? That's exactly
what I believe the Bible teaches. This God is a God who's ruling
over everything. Say, well, I don't know whether
it's under his control or not. Well, if it's not, then me and
you both better go out of business and we just simply better give
this thing up. And we better forget about the
Bible if it's not under His rule. It's all under His rule. There isn't a devil that bats
an eyelash unless God permits it. And there isn't anybody in
this world that does anything that God does not rule and overrule
to His glory and to His purpose. And it will bring to pass that
which is honoring and pleasing to Him. Eventually it will because
God would not allow anything to come to pass that is not according
to His purpose. And I know men's heads are big,
and I know their brains are working all the time, and I know they
got all kinds of theories and ideas about where this thing
come from, where it's going, and what its purpose is, but
I want to tell you this, God's ruling over the whole thing,
and He's the God of this creation, and He's the God of providence.
And nothing happens. I mean even the gnat that is
blown by the march or the speck of dust blown by the march wind.
God controls where it lands. The flight of the gnat. God's
mapped it out from old eternity. And how many hairs you have on
your head this morning, God knows them. He knows every one of them.
And you don't have to have anybody count them. He already knows
them. God knows them. He knows how many was there when
you were born. He knows all these things, you
see. I'm talking about the God of
the Bible. I'm talking about the God we come here to worship.
I said we didn't have any business here. We don't want, we're not
running a business. We're here to worship the God
of the Bible. That's the purpose of this. And
there ain't anything else that we're here for. Now I recognize
that that wouldn't be acceptable and it would put a lot of groups
out of business, a lot of professing churches out of business if they
was to assume such a stand as that and they'd say, well that's
bad business. But like I said, we're not in
any business here. Our business is to glorify God,
to honor Him, to exalt Him and declare Him. That's the business
of this church. That's what we're about here.
Not very many of us here to do it, but we'll do the best we
can and we'll simply exalt the living God. And I tell you, you
can't preach the gospel and don't preach it until you preach God
as he's revealed in this book. I started out with that statement
this morning. And that's what I'm doing today.
I'm trying to show you, when we're talking about sound doctrine,
you got to come back to these foundations or you don't have
any doctrine. You don't have any true doctrine.
There isn't such a thing as sound doctrine until you come back
to this foundation about the God of this book. This is the
God of the Bible. Now then, fourthly and lastly,
salvation is the work of God's sovereignty. Salvation is the
work of God's sovereignty. Now I realize that you people
hear this and you hear it often, but there's a, listen, let me
tell you something, there ain't nowhere else in this town that
you can go to hear what I'm saying this morning. People don't have,
men don't have the liberty to say what I'm saying about this.
They can't say it. I mean, they'd be, listen, they'd
be run out of town on a pole if they had the audacity to get
up and say what I'm saying to you people this morning. If you
can go anywhere in the state of Montana and find somebody
that's saying what I'm saying this morning, And just say it
right down and clearly as I'm putting it out to you this morning.
I'd like for you to find it. I'd like to have it. I'd like
to be able to hear it myself. I'd like to go. I'd like to be
able to listen to it. I'm telling you, they don't say
these things. Now, I want you to understand
that salvation is the work of God's sovereignty. And you can
read Romans 9 and verses 8 through 24 as you have opportunity. And you ought to be reading the
scriptures. You ought to be reading the Bible.
Don't let me do it all for you, but let you read it. Now, the
gist of what Romans 9 verses 8 through 24 says is this. that
God chose some but not all. God chose some but not all. He gave his son to die for some
but not all. He sends the gospel to some,
but not all. He gives the gift of His Spirit
to some, but not all. He calls us some to hear His
voice, but not all. He saves some, but not all. What shall we say to these things? What are we going to say to this?
God is sovereign in salvation. He's sovereign in salvation. We'll bow our hearts, we'll bow
our souls to that truth and we'll believe that truth until we depart
this life and are taken above to be with this God that we're
preaching this morning. We're telling you that God will
save his people. He will save every one of them.
And my response to this What the psalmist said not unto us
O Lord not unto us but unto thy name give glory for thy mercy
and for thy truth's sake and Then what Jesus said in Matthew
chapter 11 when he said even so father for so it seemed good
in thy sight now beloved if you take what we have preached here
this morning and you examine the doctrines that men are listening
to and hearing in this city and many other cities in America
today you'll find that sound doctrine is scarce and it is
rare. Sound doctrine. There is much
that is contrary to sound doctrine and the blessed gospel of the
God of all grace. And may God be pleased to give
us the strength and the energy and the wisdom and the ability
to set forth and to preach these things and to be constant in
doing so and may God give you the ability to in whatever capacity
that God places you and wherever he's put you and given you the
abilities to do May God give you the zeal of heart and the
enthusiasm for his truth that you will do whatever you can
to propagate these truths. Tell them to your children, talk
about them, spread the story of the God of this Bible and
teach those around you to worship this God, the God of the Bible
and all these other little gods that people are talking about,
like I say, they're little gods, little G's, little G-O-D's. I mean they're not the God of
the Bible and we ought to be thinking along these lines and
only God knows how long we'll be spared to raise our voice
and to preach these truths, but pray God that he will enable
this church to stand until Jesus comes. and that these truths
may go out. You brethren, that you may get
them so fixed, and that's one of the reasons why we preach
them and try to say sometimes the same things over and over
again in a different way if we can, is in order that you will
grow up, that God might raise up some young man, somebody else
in this place that can mouth these truths, that can preach
these truths, that can spread the truth of God about himself
and that these things will be sounded out and that we'll never
get ourselves in a position as a church or as a man to the man. in this church where we ever
have to do anything else or say anything else. Go out of business
before you do. I mean, we're not in business,
but quit the whole thing I'm trying to say before you ever
get yourself in a position where you cannot get up or where a
preacher cannot come and stand before you and tell the truth
on God. Tell the truth about God. Because
if you ever do, then all is vain and it's a waste. But it's no
vanity to come here and exalt the God of the Bible and just
to worship Him, even if you just feel for a moment the glory of
this God. If you just for a little time
feel something in your heart, draw in your heart up to Him,
and if all this God somehow or other just gets in here, and
just a little bit, and you just feel a little, just catch a glimpse
of it, it's worth it all. That's more worshiping than going
on in most places today, if you just got that, just a little
flash of it. That's more than what's going on in most places.
Well may God receive the glory and the praise. We give it to
him. We give him all honor. We give him all glory. All praise.
