If somebody hears me start coughing
again, get me some water, would you? I'm all right now, but do
you still hear me coughing? I want to read the first nine
verses in Ephesians chapter 6. We'll be looking today, I want
to begin, we'll look at both of these today. I want to look
this morning at the family and the workplace, but not deal with
it specifically. But I want to begin tonight and
look more specifically at children and parents. We find those in
the first four verses. But I want us to begin this study
this morning this way. And let me read the first nine
verses. In Ephesians chapter 6 and verse
1. Children, obey your parents in
the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother,
which is the first commandment with promise, that it may be
well with you, and that you may live long on the earth. And you
fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, but bring them up in
the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Servants, be obedient
to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with
fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ. Not with our service as men-pleasers,
but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the
heart, with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men. Knowing that whatsoever good
thing any man does, he shall receive of the Lord, whether
he be bond or free. And you masters, do the same
thing unto them, forbearing threatenings, knowing that your master also
is in heaven, neither is there any respective person with him."
Now, these verses deal primarily with the family and the workplace. And you and I begin this study
basically on the family all the way back up here in chapter 5,
in verse 21, concerning the wife and the husband. And then we
come here to chapter 6. Thank you, Clarence. We come
here to chapter 6, to the children and the parents, and then the
servants and the masters are, we would say it today, the employee
and the employer, the family and the workplace. And basically,
life in the home and life in the workplace. That's where we
spend most of our time, isn't it? That's why this study, as
we begin it this morning, is so important. And it doesn't
surprise us, and it shouldn't surprise us, that the apostle
has taken so much time with these two subjects. He begins all the
way up in chapter 5 and verse 21, and he goes down through
about half of chapter 6, because this is important. The family
and the workplace is important, and these two are important because
they are tied so closely together. I assure you of this, and you
know this, and we've seen this today, we began to experience
years ago, back in the sixties, the breakdown of the family.
And when the family breaks down, the workplace breaks down. And
when the workplace breaks down, the country finally breaks down.
And we've experienced the loss in productivity We've experienced
sometimes the loss of entire companies that caused the breakdown
of the family. On the other hand, where there's
Christian principles in the Christian family, and those Christians
are careful to study these principles and live by these principles.
I'm talking about the rules of Christ's kingdom that we're studying
about here in these two chapters. The family becomes a better place,
and the workplace becomes a better place, and society becomes a
better place. We talk sometimes about the country,
but you'll notice this if you ever study any history of the
Church. Usually, as goes the Church,
so goes the nation. If it's bad in the nation, one
of the first things we look for today is, how's the politicians
doing? Is that not right? And we begin
to complain about the politician, the sorry politician. But the
church must turn her eyes on herself. When the church applies
these Christian principles and lives down, beginning in the
family, it goes right to the workplace. And when those two
places are secure and healthy, usually it's healthy in the family. And we're studying these things
today as we've been studying about the family, and we're going
now to the children and chastening and the fathers and the workplace
and so on. We see one of these things, don't
we? We see here that the Lord not only saves the soul, He not
only made reconciliation to God on Calvary Street, He saves our
souls, but He does more than that. He makes society a better
place to live in. That's why it's essential for
the church not only to go through half of these epistles and stop
on the doctrinal side and say nothing else matters, but it's
so important that Christians come here and study these principles
to know how to live in this world. Because it makes society a better
place to live. Here in verse 1, the apostle
is exhorting children to be subject to their parents. Obey your parents. But he just doesn't begin here
with the children, all the way back up in chapter 5, and look
here in verse 21, here's where he really begins this study.
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ. That's where it begins, isn't
it? It doesn't just begin with the children, it begins first
with us, the adults. It begins with the Lord Jesus
Christ, us submitting ourselves to him. We were practicing that
song just the other night at Wanda's house singing it, some
of us were, praising the Lord for saving us. And it goes something
like this, thanking Him for saving my soul when I came and gave
myself up unto Thee. That's the way the song goes.
That's where we begin. That's where we become Christian,
when we come and give ourselves up. to the Lord Jesus Christ
to be saved by Him. And then what happens? We take
our place in the church. We submit one to another. And then the wife takes her place
as a wife. The husband takes his place.
The children take their place. The employee takes his place. And the employer takes his place. But it always begins with submission. Submission. And I tell you, when we get to
the place in our lives where we do not submit, then we're
in trouble, aren't we? We're in trouble. It begins with
submission, and it continues with submission. But let me remind
us, I want to begin here this morning, and remind us of this
first and foremost. I mean, as you and I, and I trust
you're as interested in these things as I am. As we look at
these principles, and that's what they are, they're principles.
The Apostle Paul, I'm sure, under the inspiration of the Spirit,
could have written chapter after chapter on the family and the
workplace. He could have written a book
on it. He could have went into all these details, but it would
have been like the book had been. We couldn't have packed it around
with us. So he lays out these principles and he says, now here's
the principle. I want you to study these principles
and apply them to your heart. Work them out in yourself. Being
a Christian is pretty difficult because we have to look at these
principles and study them and apply them to ourselves. And
as we do, as we do, as you mothers seek to be a better mom, you
seek to be a better wife, Dad seeked to be a better parent,
she seeked to be a better husband, and so on and so forth. As we
seek to apply these principles to our life, one of the first
things that I want us to remember this morning, and this is so
important, as we do this, remember this, don't be discouraged. I was reading the book the other
day. And Arthur, bless his heart, he's a wonderful preacher. I
love him to death. He's dead and gone now, but I
love to read about him. But as I was reading after him concerning
this very thing, parents and children, I got so discouraged. I thought, man, I've never lived
up to that, and I don't see any way I can live up to that. And
I got so down and discouraged. And this is why I encourage you
this morning not to be discouraged. Look here what he says in verse
chapter 5. Look at chapter 5 with me. Look
here what the Apostle Paul says in verse 15. Here's what we must
do. We know that. See then that you
walk carefully. That's what that word means.
Carefully. Walk carefully. Not as fools, but as wise redeeming
the time, because the days are evil." The times are evil, and
you and I should not be surprised, brothers and sisters, and we
sure should not be offended, when we seek in society to live
the Christian life in our homes, in our workplace, we should not
be surprised or offended when we face evil opposition. And yet that's the first thing
we're out to do, is to get down. You wives, you get down. The
husband gets down. The children get down. We get
down and get discouraged because we say all these times are so
bad. Well, listen, it's always been
bad. Paul said the times are evil. If you go back to the beginning
when man first fell, did you know what the death rate was?
Twenty-five percent. That was the death rate. There
was only four people alive, and one brother killed the other.
That was evil days. It's always been evil days since
the fall of man. We've always had our Sodoms and
Gomorrahs in the cities of the planet. We always have had our
evil Egypts that oppress people. We've always had our Babylonian
false religion and worship of idols. We've always had these
things, and we have them now. And in the midst of all of this
evil, I want to encourage you as we seek to walk carefully
and diligently and apply these principles to our life, I want
you to be careful that you don't get discouraged. And I felt like
I had to begin here this morning, because when we begin to look
at this this afternoon, if you get down and you get discouraged
about it all, I assure you this, nothing will be accomplished.
When you get down and get discouraged, you just basically give up, and
we can't do anything. So as we look at this thing,
if you feel in your own heart, as I do, that I have utterly
That I have tried and failed, that in these things I am utterly
ignorant, and I'm just stumbling my way through these things in
life as a husband, as a dad, as an employee, an employer. If you feel the same way about
yourself as I do, then the first thing you've got to remember
is this. Don't get discouraged about it. Don't get discouraged
about it. You deal wives, you look at yourself,
and you face opposition. Don't you face opposition being
a wife? Don't any of you have any trouble
being a wife? Being a Christian wife, submitting yourself to
your husband. Grinch is trying to raise Gail's
hand, and she won't let him. You know what the problem is.
You know where the opposition comes from within you. Paul said,
when I would do good, evil is present with me. And the opposition
comes from your husband, and the opposition comes from the
world and from the devil. We face opposition as we seek
to apply these principles, and here's why we do. The evil, the
evil. And when you see that you've
confronted this opposition, what do you do? You get discouraged,
just like I do. You get discouraged. The children
will find themselves in the same situation. Even Christian children
will find themselves in the same situation. So my first point
this morning in our lesson, don't be discouraged. Children, especially
teenagers, I tell you, you just look, I remember when I was a
teenager, and all I thought life was was just rules. Rules, rules,
rules, rules. Signs, signs, everywhere signs. Don't do this and do that. Everywhere
signs. And after a while you begin to
think that's all life is. It's a bunch of rules. And you
get discouraged. So we have to tell our children,
don't we, don't be discouraged. We'll see that later on while
we have to tell them. You moms, you grandmothers, fathers
and grandfathers, you're still working on being
a better wife and a better husband? In the workplace, when you grow
up and you get old enough to go out and get a job, and you'll
find out you're suffering opposition in the workplace? Don't be discouraged. We don't have any perfect people.
I keep having to remind us of that. We don't have any perfect
people. There's no perfect wives, there's
no perfect husbands, there's no perfect children, there's
no perfect employer or employees. That's the problem that we face.
And there's no sense of us getting discouraged. Don't be discouraged. I don't say this in order to
excuse us of our responsibility. I'm not saying that. I'm not
excusing me. Sometimes I'm heartbroken over
it. I've shed tears. I've confessed my utter failure
at home and in the workplace. But I tell you this, I've done
found this out of experience. It does no good to get down.
It does no good to get discouraged. Nothing will ever be accomplished
from getting discouraged. God's commandments And these
principles that's given to us here, the rules of Christ's kingdom,
are not given to us to beat us up and to beat us down and get
us discouraged. They're given to encourage us. As we read these things, don't
be discouraged by them. That's not why they're given.
They're given to help us, to instruct us. to be the wife and
the husband and the children, and so on, as we need to be.
The Lord gave them to us because He loved us. His commandments
are not grievous. So remember that. Nothing good
comes from being discouraged. You can be disappointed. That's
fine. Be heartbroken. That's fine.
Confess it. That's fine. But don't be discouraged. We know what happens when a family
member gets discouraged. He brings the whole family down.
Have you ever worked in a place where you had just one guy there,
and he was down in his mouth all the time? And he was discouraged. I don't know if something happened
in his life where he just had this whole attitude that he got
down, and he was discouraged all the time, and you couldn't
work him out. He brought everybody down. Because he was discouraged. That's what discouragement does.
Let me give you some good examples of it. Do you remember in Numbers
chapter 21, when the Lord sent serpents among the children of
Israel, and they bit the people, and much of the people of Israel
died? Do you remember the cause of that judgment upon those people?
It said that they spake against the Lord and against Moses. Why
did they speak against the Lord and against Moses? Well, the
scripture says this, the soul of the people was much discouraged
because of the way they got discouraged. What happens when we get discouraged?
We get down. When we get down, what happens?
It changes our whole attitude about everything. Why didn't
we stay in Egypt? You brought us out here to kill
us. There's no water. There's no bread. Why did they
say all those things? They just got discouraged. They
got discouraged. You remember when the Lord told
Israel to go into the land of Canaan and possess it, the land
of promise? You remember they wouldn't go?
And He turned them back and they wandered for forty years in the
wilderness? You remember why they didn't
go into the land of promise? They were right there on the
border. And He said, go in now and possess
the land. No, we won't go. We won't go. And you remember why they didn't?
that sent those twelve spies to spy out the land, one out
of each tribe. Those twelve spies come back
and ten of those spies bring up an evil report. They say the
cities are walled, we can't get over those walls to capture the
city. There's giants in the land, we
can't whip them. And the Scripture says this,
they discourage the hearts of the children of Israel that they
should not go into the land. They discouraged the heart. Now,
you'll find that in Numbers chapter 32, and in Deuteronomy chapter
1, Moses is rehearsing this, and this is what he told them.
He said, The Lord your God has given you the land. Go up and
possess it. Go up and possess it. Fear not,
neither be discouraged. But here's the answer that they
gave to Moses. They knew what their problem
was, but they just couldn't have it. Here's what they say. How
shall we go up and possess the land? Our brethren have discouraged
our hearts, saying, The walls are too high, and there's giants
in the land. See what discouragements will
do. And in this parallel passage,
that I read to you this morning concerning fathers not provoking
their children to wrath? In the parallel passage in Colossians
2 verse 21, it says, Fathers, provoke not your children to
anger, lest they be discouraged. See what happens? Why is Paul
so concerned that even the children not be discouraged? If you discourage
a child, you've basically lost it. Because if he lives discouraged,
he reaches the point he doesn't care. He can't please you anyway,
so he just gives up. He's discouraged. Nothing good
comes out of being discouraged. If I teach to you women, you
dear ladies, on being a better wife, and all I've done is discouraged
you, I've done you no good. It's the same way with you men
loving your wives. and all of these other principles.
If I've set them forth in a way that you're just discouraged
by them, I've done you no good whatsoever. And as long as you're
discouraged, you'll never do any better. Discouragement is
no good. I want to read you a passage.
Let me read you a wonderful passage over in Isaiah chapter 42. Hold
our text in Ephesians. And look over in Isaiah chapter
42. And look here in verse 1. Every place you read in the scripture
concerning this word, discouragement, is negative. It's negative. And
you know it's only written six times. The word itself, I was
thinking about this and I thought, I just wonder if this word is
even in the Bible. And I looked it up and it's written
in the entire Bible six times. And every time you can see it's
not good to be discouraged. It's counterproductive. But look
at this in Isaiah chapter 42. This is such an amazing, wonderful
scripture concerning our Lord Jesus Christ. And look what he
says in verse 1. Behold, my servant, there he
is, the Son of God, the servant, born of a woman, took on himself
the form of a servant, whom I uphold, mine elect, my first elect, in
whom my soul delighteth. I have put my spirit upon him. He shall bring judgment, the
verdict, the gospel. to the Gentiles. He shall not
cry, he's not going to cry out, he's not going to lift up or
raise up his voice, nor cause his voice to be heard in the
street. A bruised reed shall he not break, aren't you thankful
for that? Poor bruised reeds that we are. And smoking flax
shall he not quince till he hath sent forth judgment unto truth.
And look at this, he shall not fail, nor be discouraged till
he have set judgment in the earth, and that all shall wait for his
gospel, his law. He shall not be discouraged. And look at the opposition he
faced when he was healed. Every day he faced opposition. Consider him that endured such
opposition against himself lest you be weary, lest you get discouraged
and faint in your own mind. Look at what the Son of God faced
when He was here. And on the cross of shame and
spitting, there He was mocked. But you know He never got discouraged.
While He was working out a righteousness for us to stand before God in,
while He was suffering upon the cross, He never got discouraged. And you know something? He's
not discouraged today. He's there in heaven, and what's
He doing there? He's pleading our cause. He's sitting there
to save all that come to God by Him, and to keep them. And
I'm telling you what, you and I sometimes think, boy, we have
just worn His patience out. He's just about finished with
us. But you know something? He's still not discouraged. He'll
never be discouraged until He has His church sitting with Him
He shall not fail, nor be discouraged." See how important that is? Don't
be discouraged. When Moses was ready to be taken
up on the mount and the Lord was going to bury him up there,
he told Moses, he said, you go tell Joshua that he's in charge
now. He's in charge. He's the captain now of this
host. He's the general. He's the head
honcho. And Moses goes and he walks up
to this young Joshua, and he puts his arm around him and hugs
him up and said, Listen son, it's in your hands now. Boy,
you've got a task on your hands. You've got a big responsibility
now. You're going to lead this people across the Jordan and
into the promised land. And here's what he said, Be strong
and of a good courage. Ain't that important? Don't get down. You're going
to see some things that's going to get you down. But don't get
down. Don't get discouraged. Be not afraid, nor dismayed,
for the Lord your God, He is with you. And, boy, Joshua got
on the other side of Jordan. They whipped. They whipped two
or three cities. And he was facing some stiff
opposition. And he called his generals together
and got them all lined up in front of him and all of his soldiers
in behind his general. And boy, he lifted up his voice
and began to talk to them. And here's what he said. You
fellows are getting ready to go to battle now. You're leaving
your wives and children at home. You've got your spears sharpened.
You've got your swords ready. You've got to go face these enemies.
And some of them are tall. There are some giants you fellows
are going to face. It's not going to be easy. I
want you to know that. But he said this, you're not.
And don't be dismayed, be strong and of a good courage, for the
Lord shall do this to your enemies. Be strong and of a good courage. See how those two go together?
Strong and of a good courage. David was almost on his deathbed. And he was ready to leave this
world, and he calls his young son Solomon to it. And he says, Solomon, I hate,
buddy, to put this responsibility on you. You're a young man. You're
tender. I've laid all the material aside
for you to build this great temple. You're going to subdue all of
these other kingdoms, and you're going to rule over them. You've
got an awesome responsibility ahead of you. And sometimes you're
going to feel like you're standing alone with nobody to help you. It's going to be tough. You have
no idea, my son, some of the things that you're going to face.
And here's what he said to him just before he died. Son, be
strong and have a good courage. Don't be afraid. Don't be dismayed. For the Lord your God, even my
God, will be with you and He will not fail you. nor forsake
him." Solomon took over that job, and boy, you can see the
judgments that he began to render against some of David's enemies.
And the huge temple, the beautiful temple he built for the glory
of the Lord. But boy, when he faced discouragement, you know
what he did? He went over there and looked up some of those writings
where his dad, years before this, had pinned down. And I'm sure
one he settled upon and probably wrote it down and memorized it
and kept it in his shirt pocket. He'd get it out and he'd look
at it and he'd say, man, right there's it. This is it! And here's
what it said. Wait on the Lord. Be of good
courage and He shall strengthen thy heart. Wait, I say, on the
Lord. Psalms 27 and verse 14. And listen to this in Isaiah
chapter 41, verse 6. They heft everyone his neighbor. That's what I'm trying to do
with you this morning. That's what I'm trying to do with myself.
I'm giving you these instructions. I've studied them out myself.
It's been difficult on me. I've been praying about it myself.
I've wept over it myself. With my failures, I've repented
myself. I've told the Lord how utterly
ignorant I am, how I've failed. And now I've come here. to instruct
you in these things. I want to help you. That's what
this is about, helping. They helped everyone his neighbor,
and they said to his brother, be of good courage. That's what I want you to be
as we study these passages, as we seek to apply these principles
to ourselves. I want to help you, and the way
I want to help you is this. Brothers and sisters, be of good
courage. Be of good courage. And why am
I emphasizing this? Why have I spent all this time
this morning emphasizing this? Because it goes right back to
this. These two places, the home and the family, are critical
in our society. These are two of the most critical
places we have. in our society. I said a minute
ago, if the family breaks down, the workplace breaks down. If
the workplace breaks down, I'm telling you, the nation will
break down. I remember back in the 60s. Most of you probably
don't remember so much back in the 60s, but I do. When I hear
somebody talking about the 60s now, I say, oh, I remember that.
I remember that. In the 60s, the divorce rate
went up. The divorce rate started going
up. Skyrocketed, as a matter of fact. The parents lost control
of their households. The family began to break down.
Kids went off to college instead of going to classes. For the
most part, they were out demonstrating. Remember the scenes in the streets? You guys don't remember. You
have to see it on television, in history. I remember when it
happened. I remember in 1968, the big demonstration. Was it
down in Chicago during the Democratic Convention? Violence, and a lot
of it was perpetrated by college students and even high school
students. Violence, burning people's property,
busting out windows, turning over cars, trying to overthrow
the government. The family broke down. And then,
in the seventies, it hit the workplace. We talk about foreign
trade and what killed this economy was NAFTA and all of that. Well,
that was just consequences of what had already begun to happen
in the family. In the seventies, looking back
now, I see the workforce begin to break down. There was different
causes of it, but the main cause was the breakdown in the family.
Brothers and sisters, listen to me. You do not have what happened
in the sixties in this country. You do not have the violence
and the glorifying of free love. You do not have stuff like that
take place in a society without severe and extended consequences. And what you and I are seeing
now in our moral breakdown, our spiritual breakdown, now our
financial breakdown, is the consequences of what took place back in the
sixties. And I imagine what brought that about was some bad seed
that was sown on earlier in our society. But the reason these
principles are so important, I'm telling you, if we as Christians
do not apply them to our hearts, and to our lives, then there
will be consequences. There will be consequences. And
that's where we're at today, isn't it? That's where we're
at today. So in the midst of this evil
day, all the opposition that we face, especially in our day,
don't be discouraged. Don't be discouraged. Look here in chapter 6 and verse
10. Look at this, Ephesians chapter 6 and verse 10, and I'm almost
finished. Paul had just finished talking
here about the wives submitting to their husbands, husbands loving
their wives, and then he goes on to the family, and then he
goes on to the workplace, and notice how he sums this up. This
is amazing, because he sees what I finally see. He saw what I
finally come to the knowledge of. These things have a tendency
to discourage us. So look what he says in verse
10. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the
power of his might. Don't be discouraged. It sort
of sounds like Moses encouraging Joshua, doesn't it? Be strong
and of a good courage. Sounds like David instructing
Solomon, Be strong and of a good courage. Be strong in the Lord
and in the power of his mouth. Be strong in the grace that's
in Christ Jesus. Look what he says in chapter
5. Look what he sandwiches in here in verse 18. And be not
drunk with wine wherein is excess, but be filled with He don't leave us alone in these
instructions. He don't tell us, boy, you guys
are so strong, you're so smart, and all I've got to do is just
write all these instructions for you, and you can just receive
them, and there will be no opposition, and everything will be hunky-dory,
and you'll be the greatest wives and the greatest husbands, and
the workforce will be amazing and productive. He doesn't say
that, does He? Why does He say, Be not drunk
with wine, but be filled with the Spirit? He knows we need
the Spirit's help. And bless God, He's there to
help us. He's there to strengthen us and
encourage us as we look and apply these principles to our heart.
If He don't help us, we won't do it. We'll be discouraged indeed. Look in chapter 3. Look in verse
16. I love this. This is my favorite
verses, I think, in all of this epistle. Look in verse 16. Here
is Paul's prayer for them. That he, the Lord God, would
grant you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened
with might by his Spirit in the inner man. That Christ may dwell
in your hearts by faith, that you, being rooted and grounded
in love, may be able to comprehend with all What's the breadth of
Christ's love? What's the length of it, the
depth of it, and the height of it? And to know the love of Christ
which passeth knowledge, that you might be filled with all
the fullness of God. Now to Him that's able to do
exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we ask or thank. Look
at this, according to the power that worketh in Christ. If he just gives us these principles
and leaves us there, we'll despair. We'll get so discouraged. But
he doesn't do that. He doesn't do that. He says, you've got help. You've
got plenty of help. I'm there to help you. I have
a dear friend of mine, and he is a dear friend. I admire him.
I admire his wife, his family. I've preached to them different
times. And as far as I know, the Lord saved all their children.
And now He's saving their grandchildren. They all live in this one big
valley. Just a big valley. They call it after their last
name. Mom, I'll tell you their names. He's just a wonderful
man. I preached not long ago to his
kids. To him and his wife and his kids.
His in-laws was there. His daughter-in-law and son.
It's just a wonderful family. I love them to death. And I ask
you. I said, Dear Brother, can you
help me? Can you help me? I'm having all kinds of trouble
in my family, and here I see yours, you're just hugging on
each other, and you eat with each other, and you worship together. I said, Can you give me some
advice? And you know what he told me?
Bless his heart, you know what he told me? He said, Brother, I
don't know the first thing about raising a family. That's what
he told me. And I thought he was just being
modest. And he said, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, the Lord
has done this in my family, mostly in spite of my stupidity. That's what he told me. You know what? I love that dear
brother and I admire him to death. But you know something? He can't
sympathize very much with you and me. Because you've had trouble in
your families. I've had trouble. You know some of the trouble
that we've gone through. All of us have gone through things
in our families that's broke our hearts and just got out of
our control. We don't know what to do about
it. This dear brother couldn't help me. He could come in and
say, I don't know what's going on in your family. I've never
experienced anything like that. But I know. And if I hadn't went
through some of the things I've went through in the last few
years, I'd probably be here beating you folks up because your families
are such a mess. But I know the first thing I
have to do to encourage you not to be discouraged. Don't be discouraged. Wait on the Lord. Be of good
courage. You wives, when you get sometimes
so upset with your husbands, and you're facing the opposition
in yourself and in him, don't get discouraged. And your husbands
don't be bitter against your wife. They're the weaker vessel.
Children, when you feel like all that's ahead of you and around
you is just all these rules and rules and rules, don't be discouraged. You have trouble in your workplace?
That's a bad place to be sometimes, in the workplace. That's a discouraging
place to be. But don't be discouraged. Employees
and employers, don't be discouraged. And we'll begin this evening
to look at it, and as we look at it, you may say, man, I'm
glad for that message this morning. I'm glad for that message this
morning.
