God bless you. Come with me to Mark chapter
14. How I enjoyed that message immensely. I was wondering if
he was going to leave me anything to preach. You'll see why. He made reference to Mark 14,
the latter part of the chapter. And then he also made reference
to a woman, Mary Magdalene. Now there's many debates whether
that's her that's spoken of in these verses that we're going
to look at. It really doesn't matter. The Lord didn't give
her name. But she was a sinner. And you know why she came? She
came to worship. And I pray that by God's grace
that's what we're here for, to worship Him. That's what they
were doing in that upper room, it was worship. Heard someone
say one time and it stuck with me, you know, people say, well,
I come to church and I didn't get anything. It's not about
you getting something. It's about you giving Him honor
and glory and praise and recognition. You know, because by nature we
are so selfish. It's not about us. And as he preached, it's a privilege
as a preacher to get and sit in a worship service and listen
to preaching and to be able to worship. Because the majority
of the time we're having to prepare the meal and to feed the meal.
I mean, I enjoyed that, but it blessed my heart, really, really,
just immensely. I could have just said, OK, we
can just leave and go home. Tonight, we'll be looking here
in Mark 14, 1 through 9. And it says, two days. After
two days was the feast of the Passover. Is this turned on,
Bruce? It is turned on. Just making sure. After two days was the feast
of the Passover and of unleavened bread when our Lord would fulfill
all the types all the ceremonies of that Passover. He's the lamb
that was slain from the foundation of the world. It's only two days
until that day. And the chief priest and the
scribes sought how they might take him by craft and put him
to death. But they said not on the feast
day, lest there be an uproar of the people. And being in Bethany
in the house of Simon the leper, as he said it meet, there came
a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, a spot knot, very
precious. And she break the box and poured
it upon his head. And there were some that had
indignation within themselves and said, why was this waste
of this ointment made? For it might have been sold for
more than 300 pence and have been given to the poor. And they
murmured against her. And Jesus said, let her alone.
Why trouble ye her? She hath wrought a good work
on me. You see what he just said? He
said, she hath wrought a good work on me. For you have the
poor with you always, and whensoever you will, you may do them good,
but me you have not always. Here's the title of the message
in verse 8. She hath done what she could. She has come afore
to anoint my body to the burying. Verily I say unto you that wheresoever
this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this
also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of
her." So you'll get the picture and the setting. I see, first
I see these two extremes. I see these scribes and these
Pharisees, these self-righteous, church-going, Bible-carrying. They would have bumper stickers.
If they had a car, they would be all over the back. That's
who these people are. And they are plotting. They want
to take the Lord Jesus Christ by craft. Now, what does that
mean? If they did what they wanted to do, They would have taken
him out behind some building somewhere and killed him and
thrown him in a grave. That's what they wanted to do.
But what they wanted to do and tried to do, they could not do. You know why? God's going to
hang his son outside Jerusalem for everybody to see. This thing's
not going to be done in a corner. But you think about the animosity.
There's no love in their hearts for the Son of God. And this
pictures all of us by nature. By nature, we have no love in
our heart for Christ. There's none. There's not a little
spark of good in any man. This describes us. This is what
they wanted to do. But not on the feast day, you
know, we can't defile ourself. How foolish. Have no clue. And why would they do that? They
have no clue of who He is. They don't have the slightest
idea. Don't have the slightest idea. The slightest idea. It
says in Acts 2, 23, Him being delivered by the determined counsel
and full knowledge of God, you have taken Him by wicked hands
and crucified Him and slain Him. This describes us all by nature. So this is the setting. So we
see those people here on the one hand, these people that hate
him, despise him. And let me tell you, the human
nature's not changed. People still hate him. They hate
this gospel. They hate that we honor and glorify
him. Now, if you brag on them and talk about how good they
are and how much Jesus needs them, oh, they love that Jesus.
But they don't love this one. But we see this woman, she loves him because he first
loved her. She loves him. There's no question
about it. Our Lord's recorded this for
a purpose. And the question I asked as I
read this story, why does she love him? Why would she do what
she did? Something's happened to her.
Something miraculous has happened. She sees something. She sees
someone that they don't see. What did she do? This certain
woman. If it was Mary Magdalene, we
don't know. If you read five different commentators,
you'll get five different answers. But this similar story is recorded
in all four Gospels. It is recorded. But I tend to
believe that it was her. Can you imagine how wicked This
woman was. Our Lord cast five devils out
of this woman. And every time you see her, she
was at the cross. You're reading the scriptures.
You know who was the first one at the tomb that day? This woman was.
Why was she the first one there? He had done something for her.
He had done something for her. He loved her. He loved her unconditionally. Everybody knew who she was. And
that's how everybody still saw her. That ain't how he saw her. He saw her with eyes of love
and mercy and grace. He had showed mercy to this woman. This woman also describes all
of us by nature. What made the difference? God
choosing. His electing grace is what made
the difference. It's not that she's any different.
She's just as wicked as described in the Pharisees, just in a different
way. You know, they meant, oh, we're
not wicked. We're not wicked. We're good
people. No question about this woman. No question about it. But something had happened to
her that caused her to do what she did. She brings this alabaster
box. They said an alabaster box was
like a hard piece of white marble. This box, and then they would
have a lid on it, and it would be sealed with wax. You know
why? To preserve what was on the inside. It's just like wine. You don't leave the top of the
bottle off. You keep it sealed up. This was sealed up, and she
has this little box in her hands. And she brings it to where Christ
is. Now, how did she know where he
was at? If she didn't know, she asked.
Well, if this was an upper room, he would have been there. But
he was in Simon's house, the leper's house. That's where he's
at. And that's where she went. Why did she go there? Where are
you going, Mary? I'm going to that house. Why
are you going to that? Because that's where he's at. Why are you going
to go to Newcastle on a Friday night? Well, that's where he
said he'd be. That's where God's people are
going to meet. And when that's where God's people are going
to meet, that's where God's people are going to be at. That's so simple. And why did we come? Like she
did, she would come, oh, by God's grace, to worship. Worship. Worship Him. Worship Him. And what was in this box? was
Sputnod. This was a small, uninteresting
shrub. If you was to see it, you would
have just walked right by it. There's nothing impressionable
about it. But from that plant, I think
they crushed it and ground it and they made this sweet fragrance
of Sputnod. Do you see who this pictures?
He came into his own and his own received him. He's a root
out of dry ground. When you see him, there's no
beauty that you should desire him. Not a word in the world
Bruce ever got that article and put it in the bulletin for today.
I never write bulletins, but read it. That's what it's talking
about. When Christ came to where Zacchaeus
was at, he looks down from that tree and here's a whole crowd
of people. Now which one's Christ? Pick him out. You can. He looks
just like everybody else. They're not carrying him on poles. None of that stuff. He doesn't
know who Christ is until Christ walks up to the bottom of the
tree and he says, Zacchaeus. And when he calls your name,
that's when you know who he is. That simple, isn't it? And you're
looking around everywhere. He climbed the tree to see him. He got up as high as he's going,
where in the world is that? And he's standing right there
at the bottom of the tree, and he looks up at it, and that's
when he recognizes. And that's when you will. He's a root out of dry ground.
Like you said, his brethren at one time that were raised in
the very same household he did, all they saw was a man in flesh
and blood. That's all they saw him. When
he came to Nazareth in Luke 4, they said, this is Joseph's son.
He ain't Joseph's son. He's the son of God. They didn't
recognize him. And you won't either. You won't
either until he makes himself known. This spot not pictures him. You know what it says in the
Song of Solomon? When the king setteth at his table, my spotnod
sendeth forth the smell thereof. That's worship. When he sets
at his table, hold his table. Imagine them disciples sitting
around that table with him. Nothing else matters. And you
know what that is? That spotnod is the Spirit of
God within your heart that just bubbles up. For him, when he
sits at his table, my heart just overflows with joy. That's worship. He's the spotlight of our soul. This ointment was very costly
and very precious. And the reason it was very costly
and very precious, because it's very rare. Try to find a place where the
gospel is preached. Try to find a place. When you
walk in there, if you hear something that's some other gospel, a gospel
of works or where people preach law, all you smell is, man, that's
death. Oh, when you hear the gospel,
it's, oh man, you know what that is? It's comforting to my soul. And she broke, it's valuable,
and it's in that case, but she's not released its smell yet. She
has to break it. You know what? God has to break
you. He has to break you. And when
she did, it says the whole house was filled with the ointment.
I can see people going, you know I smelled that one time in a
perfume shop. You know, it's something different. And I can see somebody look at
somebody and say, is that real? Is that spotlight? Well, where
in the world did she get the money to buy that? And I tell you, when Christ meets
with His people, our hearts are broke. And it releases this sweet,
sweet fragrance. There's no blessing than like
the people of God meeting together in one accord for one reason
and one purpose only, and that's to honor and exalt and glorify
Him. What a sweet smell. You can correct me afterwards,
but I think it speaks there in the psalm just like pouring the
ointment on Aaron's head which run down upon his beard and run
down upon the whole skirt. The whole body's affected. When
one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. When the head's
exalted, the body is blessed. Isn't that so simple? It's blessed. As she broke open this box, the
sweet fragrance filled the room. All she did was break the box. The sweet fragrance of Christ
crucified filled the whole house. Why did she do this? She did
it. She did it. And she did it. And she did it out of love for
Him. That's right. The love of God
constrains us. She loved Him because He first
loved her. Turn with me to Luke. I'm going
to show you this, chapter 7. Luke chapter 7, beginning in
verse 36. And one of the Pharisees desired
him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's
house and sat down to meet. And behold, a woman in the city,
which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus was at meet in
the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
and stood at his feet behind him, weeping, and began to wash
his feet with tears, and to dry them with the hair of her head,
and kissed his feet, and anointed them with ointment. That's worship.
Isn't it? Simple and plain. She's sitting
at his feet. Washing his feet with tears and
drying them with the hair of her head. Verse 39, And when the Pharisees
which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying,
This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what
manner of woman this is that toucheth him, for she is a sinner.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to
say unto you. And he said, Master, say on.
There was a certain creditor which had two debtors. The one
owed five hundred pence and the other one fifty. And when they
had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me, therefore,
which of them will love him most? Simon answered and said, well,
I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said to
them, well, you've rightly judged. And he turned to the woman. He
turned to the woman, but he's speaking to Simon. He turned
to the woman and spake to Simon. He said, you see this woman?
And you know, I could say tonight, do you see this woman? Do you
see this woman? Do you see her? Do you see where
she's at? Do you see what she's doing?
That's what he's telling this man. Do you see this woman? You
thought you saw her. All you saw was a sinner. Do
you see her? Do you see her? I entered into thy house and
thou gavest me no water for my feet, even common courtesy. But she hath washed my feet with
tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, that you gave
me no kiss. But this woman since the time
I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. My head withal,
thou didst not anoint, but this woman hath anointed my feet with
ointment. Wherefore I say unto thee, her sins which are many
are forgiven, for she loved much. And she's not forgiven because
she loved much. She loves much because she is
forgiven. Don't reverse it. That's how
the world misses it. But to whom little is given,
forgiven the same loveth little. She wanted to honor Him. That's what she came for. She
wanted to honor Him. She brought the most costly thing
that she had. I thought about David. David
said, I will not offer that to the Lord, that which cost me
nothing. This was very costly and it brought
her considerable sacrifice and self-denial. Judas, or one of them, one of
the scriptures, it says that this could have been sold for
300 pence. Well, a pence was a common man's
day's wages. So that would have been one day's
wage times it times 300. To give you an idea of what that
would amount to, a common man makes, if he makes an average
salary of $8 or $9 an hour, if he makes $9 an hour times 8,
that's $72 a day. You times that times 300 days, it's $21,600.
It's what it would cost. Is that worth a lot? Would you take over $21,000
and you say, And how did she get this money?
Somebody, she got it by laying on her back. She got it from
somewhere. And she saved it. And she put
it up for one reason. To honor Him. I can see her, wherever they
sold it, she went and bought it on purpose. I can see her
going to the store and saying, how much is that? And they said,
this much. And I can see her saying, well,
I don't have enough yet. But when I get it, this is what I'm
going to do. I'm going to buy it. And I'm
going to put it up. This is not some spare of the
moment thing. Our Lord said, she hath kept this for my burial. She's waiting just for the right
time to honor Him. You see the picture? And she brings this. And she's not thinking about
the cost of this. She's not thinking about what
it cost her. She's thinking about him. And
she pours it on him. Ladies, you that wear perfume,
You wear it, and when you put it on, if somebody gets close
to you, they can smell it. And you know what it does? It
draws attention to you. She did not put this on her to
draw attention to her. She put it on him, and everybody's
not looking at her. Everybody's looking at him. That's
worship. That's honor. That's honor. The hardest thing we have to
do, and listen, she does this in the presence of other people.
The hardest thing for us to do is to do anything, whether it's
stand and preach, sing or do anything in front of other people
and not worry about what they think. It just doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter. When
you worship, it just doesn't matter what they think. It doesn't
matter. What matters is, is what he thinks
and what other people think about him. That's what it's about. And anything else just doesn't
matter. It's just a waste of time. But what she did, she's
going to say, he's going to say, it ain't no waste. It's not a
waste. It ain't a waste. She knew what she was doing.
She knew exactly what she was doing. She knew exactly what
she was doing. She did it on purpose. She knew
who he was. She knew where he would be found.
She did what she did without any thought to any other person
whatsoever. And I can tell you only God can
enable you to do that. I tell you, it's hard to worship.
It's not some easy thing. Because this old man of mine,
he's always there. I preached a message just past
Sunday on delivering. And I ran across this passage,
it's in Genesis, where you know where Jacob said? Jacob said,
Lord, deliver me from my brother Esau, because I fear him. That Esau is my twin brother,
that's my old nature. He wants a little bit of the
credit. I'm just telling you the truth. If she comes, it don't
matter. It don't matter. She had eyes only for one that
day in that house, and that was Christ. She was not there to
obtain the praise of men for what she did. She was not there
to draw attention to herself. She was not there to secure their
praise or to avoid their scorn. It didn't matter. She did what
she did with great sacrifice, and it was a work of faith. He
said, she's wrought a good work on me. How do we know this woman
believed God? How do we know Abraham believed God? James put
it pretty plain, faith without works is dead. He said, man says
he has faith and he has not works, can that kind of faith save?
Nope, it never has and it never will. This is grace and this
is faith that works. Faith is nothing more than looking
to Christ and resting in Christ and believing in Christ for everything,
not part of it, everything. That's faith. Faith. And it's your faith that He gave
you to trust Him. That's why you trust Him. And
it's not just something you do in the past, it's something you
do every day. Lord, I'm trusting You when I
go to the house of God for You to enable me to worship You.
And I'm trusting You. It ain't me trying to work up
something. It ain't me trying to work up some feeling. She
may not have failed anything. That really didn't matter. It
didn't matter. I can see the old man whispering
in her ear, said, do you really want to do this? Don't you know what you could
buy with this? Do you have any idea what you could buy with
a year's wages? Any idea? She drew attention, and all of
it, to him. But not everybody liked it. Judas
is sitting over there and he's gone. Now he knows what she's
doing. He knows how much it cost because
he's the one that said, this was worth 300 pence and we could
have taken it and we could have sold it and we could have given
it to the poor. Doesn't that sound good? Doesn't it? And you know what else? The other
disciples picked up with what he said. And they said, what
a waste. What she did exposed the wickedness
of their heart. It exposed it. Did not what Abel
did expose the wickedness of Cain? It sure did. Not everybody is going to like
it. But we don't really care. It don't matter. I could care
less. I hope it makes them mad. I hope
it makes them mad. Maybe they'll get glad. I really
do. I don't care. Really, it doesn't
matter. I do care, but I don't. It doesn't
matter. We see what you see. You see
how much he thought the Lord Jesus Christ was worth? The price
of a common slave. It bought him a piece of ground. Why did he do that? I'll tell
you exactly why he did it. God left him alone, that's why. And if God leaves you alone, you'll
do the very same thing. But I know this as good as I'm
standing here preaching to you tonight. If God ever does a work
of grace in you, you will love Him and nothing else won't matter.
You will love Him above everything and everybody else. That's right. Simple and as plain as that. And I'm glad it's that way. Because
many times our hearts have grown after the things of the world.
And God says, you come back here. Come here, little sheep. If I
leave you alone, you'll be out in some brier somewhere, some
thicket. Mary worshiped Christ. Judas
was a thief. Judas said it was a waste. Love
is never wasted. Generosity is never wasted. Sacrifice
is never wasted. And I tell you this, love can
never give him too much. Do you notice that first song we
sung tonight? The last verse. Were the whole realm of nature
mine, that were a present are too small. My richest gain I count but loss
and poor contempt on all my You know what Paul said when
he wrote to that Philippian church? He said, I have all and abound.
I'm full, having received from Aphrodite the things which were
sent from you. They'd send him a gift, send
him an offering. An odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice
acceptable, well-pleasing, Devotion and commitment to Christ
is seldom ever understood by men. They say, you're crazy.
Can't you see him that day when Abraham left there with the chaldees?
They just said, you're crazy. It's like the Christian in Pilgrim's
Progress. He had to put his hands over
his ears and run. You're crazy. The world look
at you tonight and they say, you're crazy. Ain't there something
else you could do on Friday night? Couldn't you go to a Friday night
ball game? Nope. Can you imagine maybe how shocked
she was when she heard the response of these disciples? They don't
understand. She only intended to honor Him.
She wanted to show in some public way how much she loved him and
how thankful she was. You know, as I thought about
that, when I think about Thanksgiving, I think about our Lord healing
the ten lepers. And only one comes back and gives
him thanks. He said, where's the nine at? There will always be those who
don't understand and there will always be those who say it's
just a waste. Our Lord said, let her alone. That's His little sheep. He said,
you leave her alone. You leave her alone. He saw her, he knew her, and
he knew what she did. And listen, he knew why she did
it. Do you think with me for a minute? Our hearts are just
so deceitful. And we hope that when we do something,
we do it for the right reason. And I can tell you this, only
he knows. He said, Peter, do you love me? And he said, Lord,
you know. Do I love Him? Only He knows. My heart's deceitful
above all things and desperately wicked. And He knows. I want
to honor Him. He knows. He knows. He knows why I'm here. He knows
why you're here. He knows exactly why you're here. He knows exactly. He said, leave her alone. And
this is the only place I can find in the scriptures when he
ever calls anything we did a good work. He said, she hath wrought
a good work on me. Is that what he said? That's what he said. Because
he made it good. He did. But I can tell you this,
she brought it. She brought it. He says, whom
He did foreknow, He didn't predestinate to be conformed to the image
of His Son. They are predestinated unto good works. Faith without
works is dead. And when we do the works, we
don't even know we're doing them. We don't. But He does. And that's the only thing that
matters. As we sit here this evening,
the only thing in the world that matters is what does He think
about me? What she did was connected to
Him, and that's what gave it worth. In 1 Corinthians 13, 1,
listen. Though I speak with the tongues
of men, and have not charity, or have not Christ, I am become
as sound and brass and a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the
gift of prophecy, and I can understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
and though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains,
that's a lot of faith, and I have not Christ, it's nothing. It's
nothing. And though I bestow all my goods
to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned and
have not Christ, it profits me nothing. And you think about this. He said she's done what she could. This woman can't preach. But she did what she could. These are all the things I wished,
I really do wish that I could do, and I can't do them. No matter
how hard I try, I just can't do them. But God enabled me to
do what I can do. There was this man years ago,
when I pastored the church here in North Wilkesboro. It was county
and city. It was on a corner lot. There
was street on both sides, so we didn't have a lot of grass
to mow. And there was a man in our congregation. He was probably
almost 70. He'd had trouble with his lungs,
had emphysema for years. And he was cutting work, hadn't
worked in years. But he wanted to mow the grass.
And you say, well, that ain't important. Somebody has to mow
the grass. And you know, if I knew he was
going to be down there, I'd beat him down there to mow the grass. And he come in one Sunday morning,
and he was almost in tears. He said, Mike, There ain't much
I can do. He said, please don't take that
away from me. And I said, Jay Griffin, you mow that grass as
long as you want to. And every time I went down there
on Sunday morning and it was mowed, it blessed my heart. He
said, that ain't important. He was doing it to honor his
Lord. He did what he could. Isn't that
it? What can you do? What can I do? He said, she done
what she could. She brought this alabaster vine.
And you say, how? And you think about it. Well,
how in the world could she do that? The only way you are able
to do anything is for Him to enable you. Like when He gave
the talents, He'd give one man five and He'd give another man
two and He'd give another man one. The one with five, he traded
and gained five more. The other man had two and he
traded and gained two more. What about the man who had one?
He went and hid it in the earth. Didn't He? According to their several ability,
and that's not just, that's not human ability, that's the ability
God gave you. You say, well I don't have no
ability. Do you have a job? Who gave you the job? Who gave you
the ability to work the job? Who gave you the car to get to
the job? Right? I mean, as I think about it,
God is in the details. What can I do? Well, God's enabled
me this morning. Monday morning, I can get up
and go to work. And I can work for that man as unto the Lord.
And I'm going to leave it in God's hands. And whatever he
gives me, he gives me for his honor and for his glory. I'm
not giving him the scraps. It's all his. You want a scripture? Let me give you a reading assignment
between now and in the morning. Go home and read 1 Chronicles
29. When David's standing there,
and dedicating the temple before... Now he's talking to the people
that are worshiping God when all the material is gathered
together. How did they get all that material to build the temple? David said, Who am I? And he
talks about everything that we have, You gave us. It's Yours. Everything. And all these people
here, they said, Amen. And that's how God built His
temple. That's how He built His house. God help us to do what we can.
Ecclesiastes 9.10, Wherefore, whatsoever thy hand findeth to
do, do it with all thy might. I know what it's like to work
public work. I know what it's like to work for jerks. I know
what it's like to work. And God would seem to always
bring back that Scripture. I think it's in Ephesians. He
says, as unto the Lord, as unto the Lord. Not as I service as
men please. You're not going to please that
man. Most people only work when the
boss is standing around. They want His praise. He owns
it all. Does this make any sense? I heard his dad say something
one day on a tape and it stuck with me. He said, everyone wants
to take the floor. But nobody wants to sweep it. Everybody wants to take it and
have the floor and be seen. But how many people want to sweep
it? He said, for them that honor
Me, I will honor. And they that despise Me shall
be lightly esteemed. Our Lord said, wheresoever that
this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world on
a Friday night in Newcastle, Indiana, what this woman has
done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her." Ain't that what he said? And she's just a sinner. And she said, I'm going to do
everything I can. I'm going to do everything I can to honor
Him. a couple of weeks ago when David
served his generation. And that's exactly what he did.
And you know what he did? He couldn't build the temple.
God wouldn't let him. So what can David do? Well, I'm
just going to sit around and sulk about it and not do anything. No, he got all the stuff together
for Solomon. Didn't he? Yes, he did. He served His generation. I read something today that said,
it is easy to honor Him when others are honoring Him, but
real love delights to honor Him when nobody else honors Him. C. H. Macintosh, listen, to bring
honor to our Lord at the very moment, now if you think about
this, at the very moment when earth and hell were raising up
against him. When the very highest act of
service, this is higher than any other act of service by man
or angel could ever perform. May our great God enable us not
to be occupied with the thoughts of men, help us not to think
of their indignation or their misunderstandings, but to pour
out our alabaster box of ointment upon the person of our Lord. He said empires have risen and
fallen, monuments have been raised to all those men and they've
passed away, but what this woman did, we're finding out about
it again tonight. May God enable us to be absorbed
with Him. She's done what she could for
His glory. I have nightmares about preaching.
I dream I've lost my notebook. I mean, just some horrible dreams.
But there's one thing. With God's grace and with God's
help, I want to honor Him. We can't exalt Him high enough,
honor Him high enough. He's Lord. He's Lord. Think about this. She pours this
on His head. Do you think He still smells
like spot nudge when He stands before Pilate? I think He does. I think it's in His hair. I think
it's in His beard. And when he's hanging on that
cross, he said, she's come to anoint my body for the burial.
Listen, she did what she could, when she could, when she had
the opportunity to do it. I think in her heart she knew,
if I'm going to do this, I've got to do it right now. If I'm
going to serve God, if I'm going to honor God, I'm going to do
it. We're going to do it. We're not going to wait till
tomorrow. We're going to do it right now. Amen.
