Open your Bibles with me to 1
Peter 2. I remember coming up here and helping
you all when we started building. I had some wonderful, wonderful
time. All these years, so many men,
so many men, for so many years, unbroken fellowship. communion
and fellowship for year after year after year after year. Oh,
it's so wonderful. Oh, it's just wonderful, Jesse.
It's wonderful. And it's a delight to be here.
I told you last night I was going to bring a message on coming
to Christ. I talked last night about am
I a child of God? How can we know we are? But here
in chapter 2, let's read the first four verses. Verse 4, Laying aside all malice,
and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
as newborn babes desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may
grow thereby. If so be ye have tasted that
the Lord is gracious. To whom coming? There we go. To whom coming? As unto a living
stone, disallowed indeed of men. What in the world is there in
Christ? Disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God and precious. Chosen of God and precious. Now,
as a preacher, as a preacher, called of God. I have no doubt
about that now. If I do, I've done it too late. But as a preacher called of God
and these other brethren, we have many things to watch out
for that you don't, especially in the pulpit. And this is our
ministry right here. This is our ministry where the
grace of God is preached in all of our churches. We have very
strong pulpit ministries. We really, really stress the
preaching of the gospel. Carry your Bibles. Follow along
the word of God. We don't stress singing. We don't
stress waving your hands in the air. We don't stress having goosebumps
or coming to the front. We stress the gospel, the word
of God. And this is the most important
ministry that we have in this world. I'd have to step down
to be the President of the United States. I'd have to step down
to be United States Senator. This is how high and holy this
calling is. And you that we of us that are
called of God and take it seriously, and we face men and women three
times a week and sometimes more than that in a lot of places.
This is so important, and we have things to watch out for
in the pulpit ministry that you don't. And there are several
things that I and other preachers must be very careful about when
we're in the pulpit. First of all, we must be very
careful that we do not make salvation and eternal life more difficult
than our Lord Jesus Christ made it. No, don't make it any more
difficult than He made it. Because if we do that, if we
make it more difficult than Christ made it, we'll rob the sheep
of comfort. We'll rob them of assurance and confidence in the
Lord Jesus Christ. And God intends, and I believe
even as I preached last night and asked the question, I believe
God's people got assurance. God intends for His people to
have assurance. He intends for them to have confidence
in the Father. He intends for them to have faith
in His blessed Son, to believe His blessed Son, trust His Son.
He expects them to come to the throne of grace with great boldness
and confidence in the Son of God and rest in their souls. Now, we don't want to give the
impression, and another thing we don't want to do, we don't
want to give the impression that anything about our works, anything
that we do, Our church attendance, anything that we do, will prevail
with God for forgiveness of our sin. It will not do it. Huh? For by grace are you saved through
faith, and that not of yourselves. It's the gift of God, not of
works, lest any man should boast. Not by works of righteousness
which we have done, but according to his own mercy. His own mercy
he saved us. Oh, beloved, salvation is in
the Lord Jesus and him alone. Never, never, never, never. in
anything about us, never in any work we perform, any prayer we
pray, any faithfulness we do. And though we want to do that,
Paul said, I know that in me, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. All my righteousnesses are as
a filthy rag. And another reason we have to
watch out for, we don't want to create a generation of Pharisees.
Oh, man's got enough self-righteousness, we don't have to help him. We
don't need to give him any fire to help him build it with. We
don't need to give him any clothes to help him make it that worse.
And you know what preachers can and preachers have? Pre-separation. Separation. And Christian duties. I told
the preachers last night, I bought a book years ago, big as a, it
was as big as a, a bigger, wider, deeper than a Strong's Concordance. You know, I did it with huge
books. I gave $50 for it. Christian Directory by Richard
Baxter. That was the worst $50 I believe
I ever spent. All it was was telling us what
we need to do as Christians. But listen, it's not what we
should do, would do, could do, anything. We're not shoulda,
woulda, coulda. Christ did it. We need to quit talking about
what we should do and could do and ought to do. We're not talking,
we're not, we're not ought to do anything, but we're trusting
Christ. We're just telling you ought
to, you ought to, you ought to. Listen, forget ought to. Just forget ought to. Ought to
do this and ought to do that. Forget tax. Just forget it. The
more you talk about ought to, the more you feel guilty because
you didn't do what you ought to do, so just quit talking about
ought to do. Trust the Lord Jesus, find rest
and comfort in Him alone. Quit talking about ought to.
I quit talking about ought to. The only thing I talk about ought
to do is Mary telling me ought to do something. But all beloved,
all preachers have preached law and morality so strongly. that
they end up creating a people who trust in themselves that
they're more righteous than others. There's a congregation up in
Pennsylvania, and there's a congregation up in Orangeboro, Kentucky. Boy,
if you don't just toe the line, they'd put you out right now.
The fellow wanted to join the Marine Corps, and he went to
the preachers and asked the elders, elders, oh, you know, you've
got to have a bunch of elders. Went to the elders and said,
I want to join the Marine Corps. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, it's
not God's will for you to join the Marine Corps. He joined the
Marine Corps. They excommunicated him. I tell you what, you're
better out in the end in a mess like that. Ain't that right? Yes, sir. But oh, people like
that spend all their time setting in judgment of other believers.
They question their motives, question their actions, question
their word, question their loyalty, question their faithfulness.
And I tell you, beloved, when we cease to examine ourselves
and begin to examine others, no wonder Paul said, Who is sufficient
for these things? And you know, when the Scripture
said, examine yourselves whether you be in the faith, He's not
saying examine yourself, see whether faith is in you. That's
not what that's talking about. Examine yourself so that you
believe the gospel, whether you're in the faith, whether you believe
what Christ taught, what Christ did. It's the faith, not faith
in you. Christ, the faith which we preach. And, oh, we must not
make salvation an eternal life. And it's what we do in the pulpit.
Listen to me. We must not make salvation, and that's why we
preachers, oh it's so, we must not make salvation and eternal
life an easy beliefism that makes, that mocks God himself, that
makes an act of faith and repentance to be an isolated act, a one-time
thing. And there's lots of folks that
do that. You know, they'll talk about, well, you know, they got
to go back to a time. They got to go back to a place.
They got to go back to an experience. Go back to something. They keep
saying, well, I believe back there. And I had this experience.
And I went, listen, if you've ever believed, you're believing
now. If you've ever repented, you're repenting now. Once you
start believing, you're always believing. Once you repent, you're
always repenting. It's not just an isolated act.
It's not just something that happens to us one time. And oh
God, help us never to give peace, peace to those who have no peace.
We must not, must not feed the fires of presumption. And I don't
want to entertain men. I don't want to joke with men.
I don't want to entice men. I don't want to allow men and
women to sit under my ministry and go to hell unwarranted. I
don't want to do it. You see, we don't have to give
men material to build false refuges with. They'll make enough of
their own. They'll come up with enough of
their own. Let me show you this over here.
Let's look at 2 Corinthians with me just a minute. I want you
to see this. I appreciate you all letting me
come up. I have to go home tonight. I appreciate Todd letting me
preach last night and tonight so I could But here, look what it says.
We must not. God help us to never draw disciples after ourselves.
They'll miss Christ if they get interested in a preacher. You
get too caught up in a preacher and you follow him everywhere
he goes, the first minute he falls, you're going to fall with
him. When he goes down, you're going down. When you put all
your eggs in one basket, if it ain't the Lord Jesus Christ,
because that's where God put all His, you're going down. You're
going down. Look what he said here now in
verse 15. When we're preaching, this is
what us preachers deal with. 2 Corinthians 2.15. 2 Corinthians 2.15. For we are unto God a sweet saver
of Christ. When we're up here preaching,
we open this blessed book and we get up here to honor our Lord
Jesus Christ in the gospel. among his blessed saints. When
we are up here, we are a sweet saver of God in Christ in them
that are saved, in them that are sitting here that know Christ,
that know the Lord Jesus. And in them that perish, their
son sitting here, no doubt perishing. To the one we are a saver of
death unto death, When you smell Christ, see Christ, you don't
see no beauty about him, you don't smell no life about him,
you see no sweet fragrance about him, and it's death to you. You're
sitting in death, and death, just keep on sitting in death.
And the other, a savor of life unto life. As Christ is preached,
you have life, and life just keeps coming to you. No wonder
Paul said, who's sufficient for these things? Who's sufficient
for them? Who's sufficient for them? But
now here, back over in 1 Peter 2. We have a three-word picture
of a believer. A three-word picture of a believer.
It pictures a believer. It says there in verse 4, to
whom coming? Three words, to whom coming?
To whom coming? You know, salvation and eternal
life is coming to the Lord Jesus Christ. It begins that way. It continues that way and is
perfected that way, coming to the Lord Jesus Christ. And I've
made this statement last night. At no time is the Christian profession,
the Christian experience anything more than coming to Christ, and
never more than that right there. At the beginning, at the beginning
of my salvation, at the beginning of my life, my spiritual life,
I came to the Lord Jesus Christ. I came to Him. As the old hymn
writer said, Out of my bondage, my sorrow, and my night, Jesus,
I come. Into thy freedom, gladness, and
light, Jesus, I come. Out of my sickness, into thy
health, out of my woe, into thy wealth, out of my sin, into thyself,
Jesus, I come. That's what we do at the very
beginning. We come to the Lord Jesus Christ.
And throughout our journey, I've been past the same church 30
years now, and all these years, and all the years throughout
this journey is continually coming to Christ. Still coming to Christ. I came to Him last night. I've
come to Him before I got up here. I've come to Him this morning.
I've come to Him I don't know how many times today. I'm coming
to Him now. And if He lets me live tomorrow,
I'll come to Him tomorrow. I'll come to Him. And that's
why Paul said to the Galatians, if you've begun in the Spirit,
are you now going to be made perfect by your flesh? Huh? Did you begin with Christ? And
now it's going to be something you do? Oh, beloved, it's never,
never, it's not me and Christ at any time. It's just Christ.
It's just Christ. He's my wisdom. How am I going to know God apart
from the Lord Jesus Christ? Christ has made unto me wisdom.
How am I going to know God apart from Christ? He's my wisdom. How am I going to know God's
sovereignty and glory and power and justice and grace and mercy
and wrath and righteousness all in one and make it understandable
in one person if it's not in Him? He's my sanctification. Sanctification, beloved, is a
state of being. It just means separation. I've
told you this before, and I know your preachers told you this.
A man never gets more holy at one time than he is any other.
Can you not be more sanctified than you can at any other time?
Can you, Todd? It's a state of being. It's a state of being. Christ is my sanctification.
So how am I going to get any more sanctified than that? He
hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. You can't get
more sanctified than that. You know what makes something
sanctified? God said that's mine. That's all it takes. You know,
they had all kinds of bowls and spoons and basins and everything
else in Israel. But what made the distinction?
God said, I want that for mine. I want that for mine. I want
that for mine. Now, that's all God, that's all
it is. God said, that's what he's done with us. That's mine.
That's all it means. And he's my righteousness and
my redemption right now. I'm the same sinner saved by
grace. that came to Christ at the beginning,
as I keep coming. And in the end, there's going
to be an end to this one of these days. And one of these days,
the spinning class is going to stop. You're glad what you did. She
said, Class is finished? Class is finished? Well, one
of these days, the end is coming. It's coming. And, beloved, who
are we going to go to then? You see, he's the author and
the finisher. He's the alpha, he's the omega.
He's the beginning and the end. John said it like this, we shall
see him as he is. And then what did he say? We
shall be like him. You know, there's coming a time
he's going to take this old vile body, and it's a vile body. It's
a vile body. Weak and frail. Oh my, getting
old age farts. Wrinkles. You young folks, boy, bless your
heart, you got it made now. But oh my, you know, and it's
coming on this old vile body. He's going to fashion and change
it, fashion it, and He's going to make it like unto His glorious
body. Why? Because He's able to subdue all
things unto Himself. He'll subdue this whole nature.
He'll subdue this whole body. He'll subdue everything in me
that's against Him, and He'll make a body just like His body. And oh, Paul having finished
his quote, you know the song that they sang in glory, unto
Him that loved us? That's what they're saying about
it. And worst is for our sins in his own blood. Oh, my. Let me show you this over here
in Philippians. Look here. Philippians chapter 1. Paul, having finished his course,
he kept the faith. Kept the faith. Preached the
gospel. wrote most of the New Testament,
established churches, ordained preachers. You know what he said
about coming to the end? Philippians 1.23. I'm in a strait designed to depart,
a strait between two having the desire to depart and to be with
Christ. And back up there in verse 21,
he says this, for me to live is Christ. Watch this, and to
die is gain? To die is gain? To die is gain? Paul said, he said, you know,
when he talked about heaven, he didn't talk about streets
ago. When he talked about heaven, he didn't talk about gates of
pearl. When he talked about heaven, he didn't talk about all the
saints, it was that. When he talked about going to glory,
he said, I desire to depart and be with Christ. That's what I
desire to do. This is the way he describes
it. And that's what we have here.
Three word picture, to whom coming. We started in the beginning.
We're continuing. and by God's blessed grace will
end there. The redeemed, those redeemed by the grace of God,
will never cease coming to Christ until they are perfectly conformed
to his image. David said, I'll be satisfied
when I awake in thy likeness. Let me ask you a couple of questions,
if I can. Some of you may have done this.
I know years ago I did this. Did you one day walk an aisle And then after a while stopped?
Just quit? Did you one time run for a little
while and then lost all your interest? Just lost your interest? Was there a time that you manifest
great zeal for the Lord Jesus Christ and then just laid it
aside? Did your faith one time spring
up with great enthusiasm, joy? And then he became choked out
by other things. If this is so, you're not coming
to Christ. Look in Matthew 13 with me just
a moment. Matthew 13. Verse 18. Here we have our Lord
Jesus. He's talking about sowing seed,
and he says the seed is the word of God. And he goes out and he
begins to sow this seed. And he tells where this seed
is, and the disciples didn't understand it. And so our Lord
Jesus, he begins to explain it to them. And he said here in
verse 18, Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When anyone
heareth the word of the kingdom and understands it not, He just
sits there and he doesn't get nothing out of it, doesn't understand
anything. The wicked one comes along and catches away that which
was sown in the heart. That's the seed received by the
wayside. And he that received the seed in stony places is the
same, that he hearth the word with joy and receives it, yet
he hath no root in himself. But he'll do for a little while.
When tribulation or persecution rises because of what? The word. The word. By and by, he's offended. He'll quit. He that received
the seed among the thorns is he that hears the word, the care
of this world, the deceitfulness of riches. You know why he calls
riches deceitful? It's because they never, ever
give it what you promise. Money can never give you what
it promises. No matter how much you've got,
it can't give you what it promises. It deceives you. And it chokes
the word, you become unfruitful. that receiveth the word in the
good ground, as he that heareth the word, and understandeth it,
which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth some a hundredfold,
some sixty, some thirty." And that's the picture of so many
people. They spring up, then they wither away. But the believer
is continually coming to Christ. Now, I'm going to show you something,
if I can. John 6.44. I'm going to take
my time. I ain't got nowhere to go but
home. John 6.44, we're talking about
coming to Christ. Now look what our Savior says
here. No man can come to me except the Father which hath sent me
to draw him, and I will raise him up at the last day. It is
written in the Prophets that they should be all taught of
God, that every man therefore that hath heard and learned of
the Father cometh unto me. You see, beloved, our first coming
to Christ, no man could come unto me except the Father which
hath sent me forth. I said our first coming was coming
to Christ. But our first coming to Christ
was by an act of the divine grace of God Almighty. It was a miracle
that we came. It was a work of God in us. No
man can come to me. Now, what? God doesn't keep people
from coming to Christ. He's full of grace. He's full
of plenteous and mercy, delights in mercy. Our Lord Jesus said,
Come unto me, all ye that labor. Oh, he wept over Jerusalem. How
oft would I dare? He said, You will not come to
me that you might ever. The church doesn't prevent men
from coming to Christ. Oh, we gather here tonight and
you keep this building open. You spend a lot of money on this
building. Keep it open. You go on television. You send
out CDs. You send out messages. You send
out missionaries. You do all kinds of things to
get the gospel out. You want people to come to Christ.
The church doesn't keep men from coming to Christ. The loved ones
doesn't prevent people from coming to Christ. You mothers want your
children to come. You fathers want your children
to come. You want your wives, your daughters, your brothers,
your mothers, your fathers. Oh, you pray for them. You plead
with God for them. But why can't men come to Christ?
Huh? I'll tell you why. They don't
see a need. They don't come because they
don't see any need to come. They don't see anything in Christ
worth coming for. In fact, I had a woman told me
here a while back, she was talking to her husband, and asked, you
know, about attending the services
and that, and about trusting Christ, and he said, I don't
feel the need. That's exactly how I said it.
I just don't feel the need. I don't have a need. Don't have a need. What do I
need Christ for? What do I need Him for? I'm OK
the way I feel. I'm OK where I'm at. I'm OK doing
what I'm doing. And the reason they don't come,
they don't see anything in Christ worth coming for. They don't
see no beauty about Him, see no glory about Him, see no grace
about Him, see no compassion about Him, don't see the blood
about Him, don't see the kindness and mercy of God in Him. But
oh, if they saw in Him what God's people see in Him, if they saw
in Him what God sees in Him, if they saw in Him the forgiveness
of sin, if they saw in Him the beauty of holiness, if they saw
in Him the peace that He gives us of our heart, the rest for
our souls, You know what they'd do? They'd come running just
as hard as they'd come. I mean, they'd come running.
But oh, you know, their hearts are set more on other things.
Just like the man who made the great feast, and he bid, told
his servants to go get those who I've invited for the supper. Go tell them to come. And they
all with one consent began to make excuses. I call them two
fools and the henpecked husband. Now, you know, but you think
about it. One fellow said, you know, I bought a piece of ground,
I need to go look at it. Man alive, I'll show you some
ground, you know, and what kind of fool buys something he don't
look at? Another fellow, I bought five yoke of oxen, I got to go
prove them, see if they're any good. And this is the most insane
excuse that anybody could ever possibly give. I can't come because
I married a wife. I married a wife. That's how silly men are about
their excuses for not coming to Christ. But he says no man
can come except the Father which hath sent me to draw him. And
this drawing here, this coming, it's not a physical for us. It's
not voices, it's not visions, this is a spiritual work that
God performs in our heart. And the day of His power, His
people are made worthy. Blessed is the man whom thou
choosest, and watch what else he says, and causes, causes,
causes to approach unto Him. And I have made this statement,
and I know I'm right, I know I'm right. People say, God won't
make you come to Christ. If he don't make you come to
Christ and come get you and bring you to Christ, you ain't coming. You know, when Peter drew out
that sword and cut off Malchus's ear, that word draw right there
is the same word no man come to me except the Father which
sent me drawing. And if God don't reach and get ahold of you and
bring you, you ain't coming. Now, that's just the way it is. You know, you won't see the hand
get a hold of you, and I won't see it either. Nobody else will
see it, but if he lays hands on you, you'll come. And you know you'll come right
where you are. I know that without a shadow of a doubt. It didn't
say he who begs you to come, he who pleads with you to come,
he who hopes you'll come. He's got tears in his eyes and
just pleading with you. No, it says he that causes you
to come. And boy, when God gives a man
a new nature, when He gives him a new nature when he's born again,
when God gives him that new nature and regeneration, when God gives
us a knowledge of sin, when the Holy Ghost comes and convinces
us of our sin, when He comes and gives us a knowledge of the
Lord Jesus Christ and reveals Christ to us, He makes us willing,
so willing to come to Christ in the day of His power. And all men come to Christ first
because they do see the need. Oh, I see my need. My sin's ever
before me. When we see our sin, we know
we've got to have somebody. When we see something in Christ
worth coming for, we see God said, This is my beloved Son.
When we're like Simon Peter, Lord, to whom shall we go? Beloved,
God's persuaded us that's come to Christ and convinced us that
nothing else in this world Nothing in this world is more important
than the Lord Jesus Christ. And you know, our coming to Christ
was not of our own will. It wasn't of our own power. But
you know why we come? All that the Father giveth me
shall come to me. A picture of a believer. Our
first coming to Christ was by His grace. I can't take any credit
for it. Can't receive no praise for it.
Can't claim any merit. He called me. Drawed me on. And
you know, here's the difference between believers, people who've
been called to Christ, come to Christ, trust the Lord Jesus,
the spiritual drawing. You know, why in the world do
we feel such an acute, acute awareness of our sin? And other
people don't. How can you feel such an acute
consciousness of your sin? Other people don't. I can't explain
it. I can explain that. I've lived for years. I never
had a problem with sin until God converted me. I was at peace with it. Now
I can't explain it now. I didn't know anything about
it, but God revealed it. Why do you who claim to be believers,
why do you always talk about the beauty of Christ, the glory
of Christ, the power of Christ, the death of Christ, the blood
of Christ? Why do you talk about the deity of Christ, the eternality
of Christ, the intercession of Christ, the ascension of Christ,
Christ sitting at the right hand of God? Why do you do that? Oh,
we don't see anything about Him that we should desire Him. Why
do you believers, why have you all lost interest in the world?
Why are you more interested in getting together, praying, singing
hymns, hearing the gospel? Why do you enjoy being together?
Why do you travel so many miles, spend so much money, stay in
hotels and motels, go to great expense to have people come in?
Why do you do that? I can't explain it. God just
made it so. God just made it so. And I tell
you, this coming to the Lord Jesus, it's a complete coming.
I mean, it's a complete coming. The Scripture says Caleb. What's
it mean, faithful dog? Caleb, the faithful dog. He followed
the Lord fully. And that's what, boy, I tell
you, if you come to Christ, you come all out. You know, I've
used this illustration so many times. The child of God, when
he comes to Christ, he just takes out his pen, signs, I sign over
my life to Jesus Christ, lock, stock and barrel. And that's
it. I mean fully, completely. Anybody
that can leave the gospel, anybody that can leave Christ, will leave
the gospel and will leave Christ. And our union with Christ, our
coming to Christ, our relationship with Him, it's not a part-time
association. So many people take it to be
that. They take it a part-time association. Once a week, once
a month, once every three weeks. They think they can just walk
in and out like it's nothing, but oh no, when you have Christ
and you have a union with Him, the only reason there's marriage
on this earth is to show men and women the union we have with
Christ. Our union with Christ is such a complete union, and
our relationship with Him puts everything and everyone else
in their proper place as it affects their union. If anything affects
my union with Christ, I've got to be done with it. Ain't that
right? Anything that affects my union
with Christ, no matter what it is, it's got to go. It's got
to go. Oh, listen, got to lay it aside.
If it's things, if it's people, whatever it is. You know, they
came and said, oh, your mothers and brothers, they're standing
outside. They're waiting for you. They want you to come outside.
He said, who is my mother? Who is my brother? Who are they? And he looked at all these people
together and said, this is my mother, this is my brothers,
this is my sisters. And our Lord said, if any man
loved the mother and father more than me, not worthy of me. Not
worthy of me. And you know, this coming to
Christ, it's a continual, it's a continual coming. that are the people of God. We've
entered into a rest, and we shall enter into a rest. We just keep
on coming until we enter into that eternal rest. You know, there are many things
that happen to us in this world, and we don't know why. So many
things. So many sicknesses, so many deaths,
so many afflictions, so many things that happen in our lives,
and we have committed to Christ, and yet things happen. We don't
know why. But God does. What do you do about it? Bring
it to Christ, and just keep on coming. If any man come to Christ, he
said, let him deny himself and follow me. And you know this
coming, it's a continual denial, it's a continual warfare. And
it had been wonderful, absolutely wonderful, that when we first
came to our Lord, that our old nature, this old flesh, would
have been eradicated. that we would have been perfectly
conformed to Christ and taken right on to glory. But that's
not the way it is. No. No, the Lord, he prayed in
John 17, verse 15, he said, Father, I pray not that you take him
out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one in
the world. And people say, well, I've come
to the Lord, but I still have so many troubles, so many doubts. So many fears, so many temptations,
so much sin. What am I going to do about it?
Come to Christ. I still have family responsibilities,
preacher. I've got cares. What am I going
to do about them? Keep coming to Christ. And old
age is still in all. Old age is still in all. What
are you going to do? Come to Christ. When you're sick,
come and to come. It's going to keep coming. I
have come. I am coming. And are you coming? I ain't got nowhere else to go.
I ain't got no place else to go. I've been everyplace else. I've been like you. I've
been in fundamentalism. I've been in legalism. I've been in Pentecostalism. I've been in Arminianism. I've been in every kind of ism
you can imagine. One thing I haven't been in.
Intellectualism. I'm not smart enough. Harvey Bruce. Me and Brucey, buddy. You said
you had taught us. Me and Brucey's alike. You tell
us it's smart. Me and Brucey, we don't. We can't
even pretend good. Thank y'all so much.
