What a sweet thought. To think of the Lord saying,
when my name is called, Father, I'm here. He doesn't say Todd's
here, he says I'm here. That's a sweet, sweet thought.
Would you turn to Proverbs, Chapter 23. While you're turning there,
Donnie Bell, pastor of the Lantana Grace Church in Crossville, Tennessee,
is going to be preaching for us tonight. I'm really looking
forward to that. Special dear friend. Proverbs chapter 23. I'd like to read verse 23. By the truth. And sell it not. Also, wisdom and instruction
and understanding. I had prepared a message from
John chapter 11 and Lord willing, we'll get back to that. But this
Thursday night, I woke up several times with this verse of Scripture
on my mind. How? I don't know. Well, I believe
I do know. I believe it was the Lord. But I just kept thinking
about this verse of Scripture. Buy the truth and sell it not. And I just kept turning it over
in my mind, buy the truth and sell it not. Buy the truth. Now, when you buy something,
it becomes yours, doesn't it? Now, the truth is the truth.
Whether I buy or whether I sell it doesn't make any difference,
doesn't have any bearing on the truth. The truth is the truth,
whether I believe it or whether I don't believe it. The truth
is the truth. But when I buy the truth, it becomes mine. The objective truth becomes mine. Buy the truth so that the truth
is yours. It's your personal possession. And don't sell it. Don't sell
out. How many times have you seen
people sell out? By the truth, make this the business
of your life to buy the truth and to not sell out. With buying the truth, according
to our text comes wisdom. Don't you want to have wisdom?
I don't want to just have knowledge, knowledge. Listen, I'm all for
knowledge, but wisdom is the right use of that knowledge. Without wisdom, knowledge is
useless knowledge to you. With buying the truth comes wisdom
and instruction, being taught, being taught by God. Well, I
want Him to be my teacher, don't you? We're in trouble if I'm
the only teacher here. We're in big trouble. I need
to be taught by God Himself. Buying the truth comes instruction
from God. And next, he says, with understanding,
and that word understanding means discernment, knowing the difference
between the true and the false, that which is of God and that
which is of man. Now, I want that, don't you?
I want some discernment so I can know the difference. Buy the
truth. Believe it so that it becomes
yours. If you buy something, it's yours. The truth is not
the most important thing. The truth is the only thing. That's what happens when you
buy the truth. It's the pearl of great price that when you
find it, you sell all you have to have this one pearl of great
price and If I am unwilling to sell all I have for this pearl,
this one pearl of great price, this treasure hid in the field,
if I'm unwilling to sell all that I have to have this one
pearl, the truth, it's because I really don't believe in the
value of the pearl. Because if I believe the value
of this pearl, I'll sell everything I have to possess this one pearl
of great price. Buy the truth and sell it not. Don't sell out. My first job
when I got out of school was a bank teller. I was a failure
as a bank teller. That's the only job I've ever
been fired from. I've told you that before. I mean, I can't
even balance my own checkbook. So how in the world? You know,
I've never balanced my checkbook once. It always comes out different.
I just go ahead and take whatever the bank gives me because I can't
do it. It's not in me to do that. But I remember when I was being
trained to be a teller, I mean, I never had much money and all
of a sudden thousands of dollars were passing through my hands.
I mean, thousands of dollars. And don't think for a second
that I didn't think, what if I just walked out of this? I
mean, you know, I mean, I remember my sister, this is a true story,
she was being interviewed for a job and they asked her, have
you ever thought about stealing money? And she said, well, sure
I have. Well, they wouldn't hire her.
It's like somebody never thought of that. You know, you never
thought, if you have that kind of money going through your hands, you'd
be thinking about taking it. I mean, it just, that's wrong.
I realize that. It's evil. But, you know, I go
to Mexico and, you know, all the things, you know, stuff comes
through your mind. But I remember when they were
training me, I remember, I can't remember the guy's name. He said
this, he said, now you're going to be faced with temptations
with all this money going through your hands. And he said, you
know, everybody has a price at which they can be bought. Everybody,
without exception, has a price that they can be bought. Some
have a higher price, but everybody's got a price. Now, there's only,
that's true, but there's a problem with it. In order to sell out,
You have to have something that's worth selling out for, don't
you? You have to have something that's more valuable to you than
that which you're selling out for. If you know Christ, if you
have that one pearl of great price, if you're found in Him,
there's nothing this world has to offer that's worth selling
out for. You really believe that? You find that one pearl of great
price, you will sell everything to have that one pearl. And if
you don't, it's because you've never really seen the value of
that one great pearl. Buy the truth and sell it not. Don't sell out. Now, if you sell
out, you can benefit from that without question. If I do sell
out, there will be benefits, the smile and praise of this
world, perhaps more financial success, perhaps upward mobility. But if I sell out, I'll prove
that I never really saw the value of Christ. I'll be like Esau.
Remember what the scripture says about Esau? For one morsel of
meat, he sold his birthright. And the scripture calls him a
profane person. Lest there be any profane person
as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. You
know what that word profane means? It means accessible. It means
you can be bought. Esau could be bought. Why? Because he'd never seen or believed
the value of the birthright. Somebody that believes the value
of Christ, he's my salvation, they cannot be bought by the
truth. and sell it not. Lay hold upon the truth. Now
let me show you why this is so important. Buy the truth and
sell it not. Buy the truth and sell it not. God is a God of truth. Deuteronomy chapter 32 verse
5 says a God of truth without iniquity. Just and right is He. The Lord Jesus Christ The Son
of God. The second person of the Trinity.
I love what He calls Himself. He says, I am the truth. He didn't say, I'll show you
the truth. He didn't say, I'll teach you the truth. He didn't
say, I'll lead you to the truth. He said, I'm it. I am the truth. God the Holy Spirit is called
the Spirit of Truth. And John chapter 16 verse 13
says, He will guide you into all truth. Now, buy the truth
and sell it not. The truth is something you do. The truth is something you do. If we say we have fellowship
with Him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not The truth. John said no lie is of the truth. Turn with me for a moment to
John chapter 3. John chapter 3. Verse 19. And this is the condemnation.
That light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather
than light because their deeds were evil. For everyone that
doeth evil hateth the light. Neither cometh to the light lest
his deeds should be reproved or exposed. But he that doeth
truth. You see, truth is something you
do. He that doeth truth cometh to
the light that his deeds may be made manifest. that they're
wrought in God. Now, what is this thing of doing
the truth? Well, first of all, it's faith. Doing the truth is
believing the truth. In Titus chapter one, verse one,
we read of the faith of God's elect, the faith that all of
God's elect have. And you know how it's described?
The acknowledging of the truth, the embracing of the truth, which
is after godliness. Every time you embrace the truth,
it's after godliness. It leads to godliness. If it
doesn't lead to godliness, you didn't embrace the truth. The
acknowledging of the truth, which is after godliness. Repentance. We read in 2 Timothy chapter
2, if God will for adventure grant them repentance to the
acknowledgement of the truth. That's what repentance is. You change your mind. You didn't
acknowledge the truth. You do now. You embrace the truth. Worship. Remember what our Lord
said? God is spirit. And they that worship Him must
worship Him in spirit and in truth. There's no worship in
spirit There's no Holy Spirit worship, and that's what that's
talking about. When you worship Him in spirit, that means you
worship Him as inspired by the Holy Spirit, as enabled by the
Holy Spirit. Let me remind you, I never say
to a mixed audience, come worship with us. Come worship with us. I don't want when I'm on our
TV program, I don't say, y'all come on out and worship with
us. No, you've got to be a believer to worship. You've got to have
the Holy Spirit to worship. It's impossible for a natural
man to worship. Now I say, come hear the gospel. I want you to
hear the gospel. If God's going to save you, it's
going to be through the hearing of the gospel. But as far as worship,
they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit. They must have
the Holy Spirit. They must be born from above.
They must be born again. They that worship Him must worship
Him in spirit and in truth. There's no worship of God apart
from the truth of the gospel. Sanctification. Listen to this
scripture, John 17, verse 17, our Lord said, sanctify them.
Sanctify them through thy truth. Thy word is truth. Remember what Paul said in 2
Thessalonians 2, 13, but we're bound to thank God always for
you, brethren, beloved the Lord, because God has from the beginning
chosen you to salvation. through sanctification of the
Spirit and what? Belief of the truth. The new birth comes through the
truth. James 1.18 says of his own will, begat he us, birthed
he us through the word of truth. Freedom comes through knowing
the truth. Our Lord said you shall know
the truth. And the truth shall make you free. It will set you
at liberty. Christ's purpose in coming. That
passage of Scripture we read at the opening of this service. This cause came I into the world
that I should bear witness to the truth. Salvation in 1 Timothy
2.4 is described as coming to the knowledge of the truth. Doing the truth is more than
having the right information. Turn with me to 2 Thessalonians
for a moment. Verse 11. And for this cause, God shall
send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie, that
they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had
pleasure in unrighteousness." Now, let's look at this phrase,
for this cause. For what cause? Look in verse 9. Even him whose
coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs
and lying wonders and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness
in them that perish because they receive not, what? The love of the truth that they
might be saved. For this cause, because they
receive not the love of the truth, for this cause, God shall send
them strong delusions that they should believe a lie. Doing the
truth is loving the truth. That's when the objective truth,
objective means it doesn't have anything to do with me. Subjective
means how I feel about it. How I feel about it. What goes
on the inside. Objective is out there. Subjective is in here.
Now, when I love the truth, the object of truth becomes subjective. It becomes mine. When I love
the truth, I buy the truth. And I refuse to sell it. Now,
I want to be described by this, don't you? I want to be somebody
who buys the truth. who believes the truth, who makes
it their own, and they refuse to sell it. Now, let's turn back
to John chapter 18, that famous question of Pilate. Now, Pilate has been informed
that Christ called himself a king, which would have been against
Caesar. And that's the accusation the Jews brought against him. Verse 35, Pilate answered, Am
I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief
priests have delivered thee unto me. What hast thou done? Jesus
answered, My kingdom is not of this world. That's a blessed thought, isn't
it? My kingdom is not of this world. Don't worry about the
primaries and politics and all that kind of stuff. It's a waste
of time. My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world,
then would my servants fight that I should not be delivered
to the Jews. But now is my kingdom. Not from hence. Pilate therefore
said unto him, Art thou a king then? I mean, you're talking
about a kingdom. You must be a king. Jesus answered, Thou sayest that
I am a king? To this end was I born, to be
king. And for this cause came I into the world, that I should
bear witness unto the truth. Everyone that is of the truth
heareth my voice. Pilate said unto him, What is
truth? Now, what did Pilate mean when
he asked that question? What is truth? Now, this is a wonderful
question. What is truth? I hope everybody
in here is asking themselves that question. I want to know
the answer to that question. What is truth? Buy the truth and sell
it not? Well, what is truth? I need to
know what it is I'm buying and what I'm refusing to sell. What
is truth? Now, what did Pilate mean when he asked that question?
There are three things he could have meant. First, he could have
meant What is truth? Is there such a thing? Is there
absolute truth? Now, I can understand why someone
would ask that question if they don't believe that God created
the universe. If somehow this creation, if it's not a creation,
if somehow some kind of chemicals got together through some kind
of explosion, I know I'm speaking eagerly. I don't know how to
bring forth what those who deny creation say, but somehow this
something all of a sudden there was life. That's basically what
they're saying. All of a sudden there was life. Something happened.
Some kind of chemicals got mixed up. Bam, there's life. Well,
if you believe that, I can understand why you... Where's truth? Is
there such a thing as truth? But if there's a personal God
who created the universe and there he is, obviously there
is absolute truth. What is truth? Is there such
a thing? Yes, there is. He could have
also meant this. Truth. Truth. What is truth? Can we know it?
I mean, sure, there's truth. But wouldn't it be presumptuous
and arrogant for me to say I know the truth like I've got a corner
on the truth and all these other folks are wrong and I'm right?
That seems presumptuous. Can you ever say you know the
truth for sure? You know, the only thing we can
be sure of is that we can't be sure of anything. Are you sure? Our Lord said, you shall what? Know the truth. And the truth
shall make you free. And it's not really your knowledge
of the truth that makes you free. It's the truth himself who makes
you free, because you know as well as I do, you don't know
the truth well enough to. You think of how many times when
you think you know it, then you go backwards the next day and all the ups
and downs, ups and downs. Sometimes you feel free, sometimes
you don't. Not talking about your knowledge of the truth that
makes you free, but it's the truth himself who makes you free. You
should know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. You
know, here's what I believe Pilate meant. I don't believe he's talking
about, is there such things as truth? He knew there was. You
know, he knew they delivered the Lord Jesus for envy. He knew
what the Jews were all about. He knew there's truth, and he
knew you could know it. But what he was saying to our Lord as
he saw our Lord standing before his accusers and his enemies,
and he was getting ready to be put to death, truth! Is it worth
this? Is it worth dying for? Sure,
there's truth. I believe there's truth, but
is it worth all this? They're going to kill you over
this. Is truth worth this? Is truth essential? Yes. It's worth this. Yes, truth is
absolutely essential. Our Lord said, I came. to bear
witness to the truth. And you know what that word bear
witness means? It's where we get the English word martyr from. He's saying I came to bear witness
by my death to the truth. Now, the truth is worth dying
for. You believe that? Is the gospel
you believe worth dying for? To everybody who believes that
it is, I came to bear witness by my death to the truth. Now,
I want you to think about this. When our Lord was flung down
on the ground, and those Roman soldiers took nails and hammered
them through His hands and through His feet, and picked that cross
up in the air and dropped it in the stand, and there He hangs. And they're going to watch Him
hang there until He dies. That is the ultimate manifestation
of the truth. Now, in Christ, He said, I came
to bear witness by my death to the truth. In Christ dying on
the cross, first of all, I see the truth concerning me and you. I see the truth regarding man. When you and I, I'm talking about
me right now, if God takes the restraints away and if God lets
me do what I want to do, if God lets you do what you want to
do, you'll nail Jesus Christ to a cross. Men naturally hate
Christ as He's revealed in the Bible. Now, nobody hates The
Jesus that's preached that's kind of, you know, he wants to
save everybody and loves everybody and wants everybody to be saved,
but he can't bless you later. Nobody's praying to that Jesus.
Nobody hates that Jesus. He's their buddy. That's not
the Jesus I'm talking about. That's a false Jesus. I'm talking
about the Lord Jesus Christ of the Bible. Men hate him. And when God takes away the restraints,
here's what I'd do. I'd nail him to a cross. Do you
believe that about yourself? Don't look within to find out
how bad you are. You won't find out. You look
to the cross and that tells you the truth regarding yourself.
Diabolically evil. Totally depraved. Evil to the
core. Bad to the bone. That's what
God's Word says about me and you. And the only way I can see
that is by seeing the cross. The cross is the manifestation
of who I am and what I am. And that's the only place I'm
going to find the truth about myself. The cross. Now buy the truth.
Believe it. Believe this because it's what
God's Word teaches. Believe it about yourself. Even if you don't
feel it, believe it. If so, whether you feel it or
not. It doesn't say feel it. Believe it. Buy the truth regarding
yourself. The truth, the cross of the Lord
Jesus Christ, that one nailed to a cross, suffering, bleeding
and dying, that tells me the truth concerning the true character
of God. You know, God, listen to me, God is not known or seen
apart from the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. And in the cross,
when I see Christ hanging on a cross, all of God's characters
manifest in the cross. First thing that comes to my
mind is his sovereignty, his sovereign purpose, his sovereign
will. Yeah, I love what Peter said about Christ's Saving on
the Cross. He said, Him being delivered by the determinant
counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken. and with
wicked hands have crucified and slain. The reason Christ was
hanging on that cross is because it was the answer to the determinant
counsel and foreknowledge of God. God determined for it to
be done. That's why it took place. God is absolutely sovereign.
I see the holiness of God and the justice of God. He's not
going to let sin go unpunished. When sin was found on His Son,
He killed Him. I see the holiness of God. I
see the justice of God. I see the grace of God. This week, oh, you all know what
happened in that university where that fellow shot 16 people and
five people were killed. And it's just a hideous, wicked
thing. Now, I'll be honest with you. I wouldn't give my daughter to
die for that fellow, would you? Of course you wouldn't. I've
got one child. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't
give Him for anybody. I wouldn't do it. He did. Now that is grace that I just
can't imagine. That He would give His Son for
somebody like me? Somebody so sinful, so evil,
so weak, so unlovable. He gave His Son for me? Now that's
grace, isn't it? That's love beyond description. I see the wisdom of God, how
He made a way to be just and justify somebody like me through
the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, what wisdom! Man can never
come up with anything like this. Ain't no way. And if they could
come up with it, which they can't, but if they could come up with
it, they couldn't execute it, but He can. What glory is in the
Lord Jesus Christ? I see the power of God in Him
putting away my sin and making it to where It's not. I have
no sin. Can you see where the cross is
a complete display of everything that God is? I see that. I've been to Calvary, I can say
I've seen the Lord. In the cross, I see the truth
concerning me. I see the truth concerning God.
I see the truth concerning salvation. Now, what were our Lord's last
words from the cross? It is what? Everybody say that loud. Finished. That's a great word, isn't it? It is finished. What's finished? My salvation. The salvation of
everybody He died for. Hebrews 10.14 says, For He hath
perfected forever them that are sanctified. That's what he did
by his offering. He perfected forever. I've perfected
forever by what Christ did. It is finished. And you know, I believe that.
Somebody says, well, what about faith? Don't you have to believe? Of
course you believe. You've got to believe that. That's exactly what you believe. You
believe that what he did accomplished salvation. It is finished. In seeing Him nailed to the cross,
I see the truth concerning how I am to live. I am to deny myself, to take up my cross, this confession
of Him, who He is, what He accomplished. I'm to deny myself. I'm to take
up my cross and follow Him. Anything short of that is playing
games. Anything short of that is insincere
hypocrisy. Christ, Jesus, is the Lord of
my life. He's my Lord. He's my Master. He's my God. And if he calls
on me to die in this confession of him, that's fine. And I know,
apart from the grace of God, I'll chicken out, just like you
will, but by the grace of God, I won't. I follow him. Love so amazing, so divine, demands
my soul, my life, my all. Now, by the truth, Make it your
own, and you do that by believing that the gospel of God is my
gospel. I say with Paul, God forbid that
I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. I glory
in the cross just like Paul did. Paul said, I glory in what I
do do. I find no hope, no confidence,
no rest anywhere else but in the cross. Turn with me to 1
Corinthians chapter 2. Can you see, beloved, where the
cross is the truth? What is truth? The cross of our
Lord Jesus Christ. That answers that question, doesn't
it? That's the truth concerning me. That's the truth concerning
God's character. That's the truth concerning salvation. And that's the truth concerning
how I am to live, denying myself, taking up my cross daily and
following the Lord Jesus Christ. Now look in First Corinthians,
chapter two, verse one. And I, brethren, when I came
to you, I came not with excellency of speech or wisdom declaring
unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know
anything among you save Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Now, Paul, why would you determine
not to know anything else? I realize that's the most important
subject. But aren't there other things that go along with this? When you really see the meaning
of the cross, you see this is everything. The reason he determined
not to know anything else because there wasn't anything else to
know. It wasn't like he was rejecting other stuff to preach this. No,
he said this is it. This is everything. Everything
is in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. By the truth. Make it your own. Now, yes, the preaching of the
cross is to them to perish foolishness, but unto us which are saved,
what is it? It's the power of God unto salvation. Now, buy the truth and sell it
not. Now, how do you sell the truth? How do you sell out? No doubt there are things to
be gained in selling. This world will love you. You'll
make plenty of friends and influence many people. In some respects,
you'll have a better life. You certainly won't be persecuted. How do you sell the truth? Here's
the first way you sell it. It's what Paul said in Romans
1.18. He talked about, "...for the wrath of God is revealed
from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who
hold the truth." You hold it down. That's what the word means.
You hold it back. They hold the truth in unrighteousness. You fail to tell the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth. You leave out part.
You dress it up with wisdom of words. You dress it up with enticing
words of man's wisdom, and so on, to make it more palatable
to the flesh. You try to dress it up so the natural men will
accept it more. Here's a perfect example of this. Somebody, the doctrines of grace,
they say, well, I'm a four-pointer. I believe total depravity. I
believe in unconditional election. I believe in irresistible grace,
and I believe in perseverance of the saints, but I don't believe
in limited atonement. I believe there's only one motive for that. One motive. You're trying to
make the truth more palatable to the flesh. God elected a people, and they're
the only ones that can be saved, but Christ died for everybody.
Why, that's foolishness. And the only reason somebody
will hold a position like that is to make the gospel more palatable
to the flesh. That's holding down the truth
in unrighteousness. I sell the truth by not obeying
it. I think of what Paul said to the Galatians, O foolish Galatians,
who have bewitched you that you should not obey the truth before
whose eyes Jesus Christ has been evidently set forth, crucified
among you. The truth is the crucifixion
of the Lord Jesus Christ. We buy the truth. We sell the
truth by turning from it. Look in Second Timothy, Chapter
four. First, let's look in Chapter
three. Second Timothy, Chapter three. Paul warns us of those who have
a form of Godliness, verse five. having a form of godliness, but
denying the power thereof. From such turn away for of this
sort, those who have a form of godliness, but deny the power
thereof, are they that creep into houses, and lead captive
silly women, laden with sins, led away with diverse loss, ever
learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the are always
learning about missions and how to win souls and things like
that, but they never come to the knowledge of the truth. And
look in chapter four, verse one. I charge thee, therefore, before
God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who should judge the quick and
the dead, it is appearing in his kingdom. Preach the word.
Be instant, in season, out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort
with all longsuffering and doctrine, for the time will come when they
will not endure sound doctrine. But after their own lust shall
they heap to themselves teachers having itching ears, and they
shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned
to fables. I'm going to look at one final
scripture. Turn to Matthew chapter 15. You know, I think of what
David said in Psalm 51 when he said, Thou desires truth in the
inward part. and in the hidden part thou shalt
make me to know wisdom. Here's truth in the inward parts.
Matthew chapter 15, beginning in verse 21. Then Jesus went thence, and departed
into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a woman of Canaan
came out of the same coast, and cried unto him, saying, Have
mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David. My daughter is grievously
vexed with the devil. Now she came for the right thing.
Have mercy on me. She came with an understanding
of who he was, O Lord, thou Son of David. I mean, everything
about this woman is commendable the way she comes. Have mercy
on me, O Lord, thou Son of David. My daughter is grievously vexed
with the devil. Now put yourself in this lady's
place. And look how our Lord dealt with
her. Verse 23, but He answered her not a word. He didn't even
reply to her. And His disciples came and besought
Him, saying, Send her away, for she crieth after us. Evidently,
she just kept crying. And He kept silent. She kept
crying. He kept silent. It started driving the disciples
crazy. Get her out of here. She just keeps crying. Verse
24, But He answered and said, I'm not sent, but into the lost
sheep of the house of Israel. I didn't come to save everybody.
Here this Gentile woman is crying after him. He says, I did not
come to save everybody. I only came to save the lost
sheep of the house of Israel. Now he's confronting her with
the doctrine of election, isn't he? I only came for particular
people. I didn't come to save everybody.
Well, what did she say? Well, that's not fair. Look at
her response. Verse 25, Then she came and worshipped
Him. Now understand this, you've never
worshipped Him until you've seen you're in His hands and He can
do with you whatever He's pleased to do. He can save you or He
can send you to hell. It's up to Him. You've got no
control. You've got no control. When she saw that, she came and
worshipped Him, saying, Lord, help me. But He answered and said, it's not meat to take the children's
bread and to cast it to dogs. It's not appropriate. It's not
right. It's not meek to take the gospel
of the Lord Jesus Christ, the children's bread, and to throw
it out to dogs. You know what he's saying to
this woman? You are nothing more than a dog. Now, how would you respond to
the Lord saying that to you? Well, look how she responded.
And she said, what? Truth. Yes, Lord. That's the truth. If ever the truth was said, it
was said. This is truth in the inward parts.
Truth, Lord. Yet the dogs eat of the crumbs
which fall from their master's table. I wouldn't dare try to
take a place sitting among the children. I know I'm nothing
more than a dog, but I'm your dog. And I'd be grateful for
any crumbs of mercy that fall my way. Truth, Lord. And look what he said to her.
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy
faith. Be it unto thee even as thou
wilt. And her daughter was made whole
from that very hour. That is truth. And the inward
parts. Buy the truth. Believe the truth. And don't sell out. I hope we have a bunch of folks
here this morning buying the truth and refusing to sell out. Let's pray together. more.
