Before I got my hearing aids,
I have a terrible hearing loss. I suppose 70%, maybe 75%. And it may be getting worse. I don't know. It seems to be
getting worse. But anyway, I've always had a hearing problem
ever since I was in the Navy. But I'd go out hunting. When
I moved to Ashland, I'd go hunting with some fellas, squirrel hunting.
And I didn't know I had a hearing problem. I thought people mumbled. Whenever you hear somebody say,
well, my hearing's all right, folks just mumble. He's got a
hearing problem. But it's hard to admit. But anyway,
I'd go hunting with these fellas, and they'd tell me, they'd say,
now be quiet. We can hear the squirrels cutting.
I said, you can what? We hear them chewing on those
little nuts way off up in the tree. I couldn't hear somebody
eating ice sitting next to me, you know. I really thought they
were lying to me. I said, you can hear those squirrels
eating those nuts? And then people say, listen to
that bird sing. I never heard a bird sing. I didn't know you
could hear. I thought you had to be standing
by the cage, you know, and if a bird sang, you could hear it.
But off in the woods? But since I got these wonderful
inventions called hearing aids, I can go out in the woods now,
and I can listen to the birds. I hear them. I hear them sing,
something I haven't heard for many, many years. And I know
that each bird has its own song. I answer them back from by myself.
I don't do it when anybody's with me, you know. But I'll try
to mock that bird. He'll talk back to me. I do that
a lot of times. I'll go out there, walking down
the road out there in Cherokee, and I'll hear a bird making a
sound. I'll make the same sound. He'll answer me back. And we
talk back and forth. But every bird has its own sound. That's right. Every bird has
its own song. Every bird has its own song,
the robin, the mockingbird, the whippoorwill, whatever. I know
enough about birds that they all have their own distinct message
and song. And even so, every preacher has
his own song. That's exactly right. Barnard
used to say that a preacher doesn't have but one message. And the
sooner he finds out what it is, the more effective will be his
ministry. Martin Luther, his message was
justification by faith. He hammered on it, hammered on
it, hammered on it to the extreme. But God uses extremists. God
uses the man who knows his song and sings it and won't try to
sing anything else. He just sings that song. Calvin,
sovereignty, these things. He emphasized Spurgeon had his
own song. Every man, every preacher has
his own song. And when you hear him, you hear
that song, you hear that message. That's his song, that's his message.
And here in our text, in Galatians chapter 6, I found Paul's song. This is Paul's song of song.
This is Paul's message. Now he doesn't neglect the other
themes. Let's start with verse one. He doesn't neglect the other
things. In verse one of Galatians 6, he says, Brethren, speaking
to the church now, my brothers, brethren in Christ, we're children
of the same Father, if a man or woman or young person be overtaken
in a fall, ye which are mature, ye which are spiritual, ye which
have been around a while, ye which are walking in the Spirit,
in the grace of God, Don't exclude him. Don't kick him out. Don't
withdraw fellowship from him. Don't quit speaking to him. Restore
him. Restore him. Restore him. And do it in the spirit not of
haughtiness and censure, but do it in the spirit of meekness.
Do it in the spirit of humility. And all the time you're praying
for that brother and being kind to that brother or sister and
restoring that individual. and aiding them in the spirit
of meekness, just remember yourself, lest God put you in the same
straits, and lest God expose you to the same problem, because
you just might fall too, you see. Somebody said, don't criticize
the old Indian Philippian unless you've walked in his moccasins.
And don't be too hard on your brother or sister in Christ or
your friend unless you've been under the same circumstances,
the same situation, walking under the same burden. Be careful.
But if he be overtaken, restore him. He says in verse 2, bear
one another's burdens. Help that man. Lift his burden.
Carry it with him. Weep with those that weep. Rejoice
with those that rejoice. Enter into the sorrows and trials
and heartaches and afflictions of others as if they were your
own afflictions. And so fulfill the law of Christ. What's the law of Christ? Well,
hold your hand right there in Galatians and turn to John chapter
13. John chapter 13. Here's the law
of Christ. It's the law which is the rule
of life for the believer. It's called by some the royal
law because it comes from the lips of the king. In John 13,
34, our Lord Jesus said, A new commandment I give unto you,
that you love one another, and you shall love one another as
I have loved you, that you also love one another. Now that's
how you fulfill the law of Christ, and that's the law of Christ.
For in verse 3, if a man think himself to be something, and
brethren this includes a man thinks himself to be something,
a physical specimen. You know a man is tall and strong,
another man is weak and frail, and he takes pride in his strength.
It's only by the grace of God that you can stand on your feet.
It's only by the grace of God you can breathe. And like David
said, one more breath in your prayer, you mentioned that, is
by the grace of God. Don't think yourself to be something. God may cripple you tomorrow.
He may whittle you down. He may have to. If he hears,
he will. because he's not going to share his glory. And if you're
smart, you got a college education, and you've accomplished something,
you are what you are by the grace. What have you got that God didn't
give you? If it wasn't for his grace, you'd be living in a lean-to
on Front Street. That's exactly right. Begging
your bread. That's exactly right. And if
you got a little talent, you can sing or paint or you can
Play an instrument. Don't be so haughty, you know.
You only do that by the grace of God. That's all. And if you're
saved and you know a little gospel, if a man think himself to be
something, think himself to be something, when by nature, by
birth, we're nothing. We're just flat a bunch of nothings. And you know it and I know it.
A man can receive nothing except it be given him from above. Every
good gift and perfect gift from God. And I'll tell you this.
The God of heaven, the God of the universe hates pride in men
worse than he hates any other sin. That's exactly right. If you want, if you want God
agitated and aggravated and his wrath turned towards you, you
just have a heart of pride. You'd be lifted up with pride.
God hates it. He said, I hate a proud look.
God resisted the proud. And it's a terrible, abominable,
evil sin in the sight of God because we're a bunch of beggars
that God lifted from the dunghill and set among princes and here
we are taking glory for our place and position and possessions
when God Almighty did it all. We didn't do anything. Not a
thing. So don't be so hard on folks,
you know. It wasn't for God's grace somebody
would be hard on you. All right, verse 4, listen to
this. Now here, don't compare yourself with weaker people.
That's a terrible failure. Let every man prove his own work. Let every man prove his own work.
Prove himself in the sight of God and in comparison with God's
holiness, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself and not
in another. What's he saying? He's saying
don't compare yourself with a weaker brother. Don't compare yourself
with the less gifted. Don't compare yourself with the
fallen brother. Don't you ever be guilty of saying,
I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't do that. We're not
to prove ourselves by the deeds of others. How many times have
you heard, well, the Pharisee said that, I thank you, God,
I'm not like other men. Well, being like himself was
bad enough. being like himself was bad enough. We are never
to prove ourselves by the deeds or actions of another, but we
are to prove ourselves in the light of God's holiness. That's
what he's saying. God's holiness and God's truth
and God's word. Let every man prove his own work,
his own condition, his own service, his own walk, and then shall
he have rejoicing If there's anything to rejoice about in
himself alone and not comparatively. That's exactly what he said,
not comparatively. Verse six, verse five says, for every man
shall bear his own burden. Every man shall stand before
God in himself and for himself. And that's what Paul is saying
there. Don't, don't compare yourself with others. And then verse six.
He says, and see Paul touches the practical things in getting
to his message, what we call practical things. He teaches
the saints, he instructs the people, that's what I try to
do in my message, but I got a song to sing and I got to get to it.
I got to get to it, as you always have, got to get to it. But he
says in verse 6, let him that's taught in the word communicate
unto him that teacheth in all things. In other words, he's
saying let the people who are taught In the word of God, provide
for their teachers. Provide for the fellow that teaches
them. As you know, the plumber, he
studies, he works, he gets the apprenticeship, he gets to be
a good plumber. And then he works for a man and he sends him a
bill. He said, I spent four hours at your house. That's $20 an
hour. That's $80 you owe me. I drove
my truck out there and I came and did your plumbing. I worked
in your house. Now you pay me. I spent my time. Well, the man that's teaching
you the Word tonight, and other ministers who've come here and
preached the Word, they don't send you a bill or charge, but
if you're taught in the Word, you communicate to them to teach.
Some fellow said, I spent an hour working on your garage door,
so you owe me $10. Yeah, but I spent four hours
preparing a message for you. And my garage door ain't near
as eternal as your soul. My God's door not near the importance
your heart now you think about and your relationship with God
Paul said one time to a church. He said you owe me your very
lives. I Told taught you the gospel by God's grace God sent
me to you with the gospel and you're not in hell because God
sent me to you That's reading you're not in hell You're on
your way to glory because God sent me your way and I stayed
faithful and preached the gospel to you and worked and studied
and prepared and presented the Word of God and God saved you
and now you pay my bills." That's exactly what he said. There's
a preacher moved to a town down in Georgia and he hadn't been
there for just a week or two and he went downtown to get a
haircut. at the barbershop where one of
his deacons worked. His deacon owned a barbershop.
He went down there to get a haircut. And it came his time, and he
sat down in the chair. This was years ago. This is when
haircuts were 50 cents, back in 1920 or something like that.
Haircuts were 50 cents. He sat down in the chair, and
the deacon cut his hair, did a good job. And he got up and
looked in the mirror. He said, that's a good job. He
reached to get the money. And the deacon said, oh, no.
I'll preach to you. You're not going to pay for your
haircut. You're not going to pay for your haircut. Not in
this shop. I'll take it out and preach it." And the preacher
said, well, you know I don't have any 50 cent sermons. And the barber said, well, that'll
be all right. I'll come several times. I'll come through in a minute
now. I'll come several times. All right, verse 7. We hear this
verse often, be not deceived, God is not mocked. It has to
do with giving. It has to do with sharing. It
has to do with ministering to those in need. Be not deceived. See, verse 6 says, let him that's
taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all
good things. And don't be deceived, God's
not mocked. Whatsoever man soweth, that shall he also reap. He that
soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, but
he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life
everlasting. That's self-explanatory. God's
made us stewards of many things. We have some are stewards of
more things than others. We're stewards of the grace of
God. We're stewards of the gifts of God. We're stewards in the
house of God. This is God's house. Everything is here. This is God's
Word. This is God's vineyard. And we're
stewards of whatever passes through our hands. And if a fellow sows
sparingly, he's going to reap sparingly. If he just puts one
corn here and one there and one yonder, he's going to reap that
way. But the man that sows abundantly and bountifully and just gives
out of the goodness and grace of his heart, you know, as God
has enabled him, he's going to reap bountifully. If we sow to
the flesh, we shall to the flesh reap corruption. Spend it all
on yourself and on your flesh and it will all fade away, but
give it in the Spirit of God and God will bless it. And verse
9, we need this. I told somebody the other day,
I've been sitting in that study now for 29 years right here on
this main road. Somebody's always stopping by
wanting some groceries or wanting some help. Well, you know, Martha,
it's every day, nearly every other day or something like that.
And we've helped a lot of people, a lot of people. I'm talking
about hundreds of people, hundreds of people. I'm talking about
thousands of dollars, thousands of dollars, groceries, all these
things. One time a fellow came by and
wanted some groceries, and I think we gave him $50 worth of groceries,
and he said, I don't want to take this for nothing. I said,
well, won't you bring me a load of wood? I don't have anything
to burn it in, but I was going to get somebody else. Bring me
a load of wood. You live out in the country. You got an old
truck out there. Bring me a load of wood. Oh, I'll be glad to
bring you. Oh, I'll have you a load of wood tomorrow. I never
seen that load of wood. Never had. Gave a fellow $20
one time. He came in and wanted some help.
You know, gave him $20. Can I do something? Yeah, cut
my grass. He never showed up. In all these years, this is the
truth. In all these hundreds of people,
not one thank you note. Have you ever seen one? Not one. Not one. Not even a phone call. Well, won't you quit? Well, that's
exactly what Paul's dealing with right here. Let's don't be weary
and well do it. Don't give up. Don't quit. You're
not doing it for their sake, you're doing it for Christ's
sake. And I'll tell you this. If our Lord dealt with us according
to our thanksgiving, we'd be in bad shape. We're good at praying
for things and so bad at thanking God for things when they come. Just don't be weary in well-doing.
In due season, in God's season, we'll reap. He'll bless it. And
don't you ever, let me tell you something, if you've given to
somebody and they've disappointed you, Don't say, I've wasted my
money. Don't you do it. Because you
didn't give it. When it went out of your hands, out of grace
in your heart, and out of generosity, and it went out of your hands,
that's the end of it as far as you're concerned. He might burn
it. That's not your responsibility. Our responsibility is to give
as unto the Lord out of a willing, cheerful heart for the glory
of Christ. What men do with it ain't none
of our business. Now, I don't mean to be wasteful,
but if you run into a bum down the street, and he says, give
me a dollar, give him a dollar. You say, well, he might spend
it on a drink. What if he does? What if he does? He might spend
it on food. But it's out of your hands, you
see. I did it. I give it to you for the glory
of my Lord. I give it to you in the name
of Jesus Christ. Now, you can't ride herd on it
and tell them what to do with it. If they abuse it and misuse
it, that's between them and God. He'll deal with them for dealing
with His child that way. But when you give it, rejoice
in the Lord because the Lord will bless you in due season.
Don't be weary. You'll reap if you faint not.
And verse 10 says, as we therefore have opportunity, let's do good
unto all men, all men, all men. Let's be kind to all men and
generous and do good as far as we can. as God gives us an open
door, an opportunity, and especially those of the household of faith.
Let's not let any of our own do without and have a need that
we don't supply, especially them of the household of faith. Verse
11, Paul said, you see what a great, a large letter I've written to
you with my own hands. Now he turns to the false teachers
and he said, these fellows that want to make a fair show in the
flesh, that's what I talked about this morning, their works they
do to be seen of men. They want to show off, they want
to make a show in the flesh, they want to build a great following
and build a great organization and build a great denomination
and impress men with the things they've done. What do they do? Well, they constrain you to be
circumcised. When the word circumcised is
used in the scripture, sometimes it refers to the act of circumcising
a male child. Well, this refers to that, but
it means more than that. It goes further than that. They
constrain you to be circumcised, that is, to follow all of the
teachings of the law in reference to circumcision. In other words, Sabbath days,
touch not, taste not, handle not. keeping certain days, doing
certain regulations, the stringent tithing, that all goes with circumcision. In other words, circumcision
is a religious principle that includes the Sabbath day, it
includes the holy days, it includes the tithe, it includes all the
different laws and rules and regulations handed down, and
so many things we don't know about. And these fellows want
you to do these things in order that they might make a show in
the flesh. And the second reason why they
do it is this, they have two reasons. They have two reasons. They avoid persecution for the
cross. You see, the offense is not in
doing, the offense is in Christ's deeds. The offense is not in
works, it's in grace. The offense is not in in activities
for salvation, the offense is resting in the substitutionary
work of Christ. That's what's offensive, the
cross of Christ. And these fellows, to avoid the
offense of substitution, and the offense of the gospel, and
the offense of redemption by the blood, and the offense of
resting in Christ alone, plus nothing, minus nothing, they
give you something to do. You see that? Verse 12, let's
look at it again. As many as desire to make a show
in the flesh, they constrain you to keep rules and regulations
and laws and activities and Sabbath days and tithings and all these
things, and the reason they do it is lest they suffer persecution
for the cross of Christ. For neither they themselves who
are circumcised keep the law. They don't keep it to perfection.
And brethren, the only kind of law-keeping God can honor is
perfect law-keeping. If you start out on this path
of righteousness by obedience to the law, you've got to perfectly
walk it. You can't step over the line
anywhere in thought, word, or deed. They don't keep the law.
But they desire you to be circumcised, desire you to do what they tell
you to do, that they may glory in your flesh. They may glory in their followers,
that they may glory in their accomplishments, that they may
glory in the souls they've won to God, that they may glory in
their numbers, that they may glory in the thousands that they've
won to Jesus. That's what they're doing. And
then he says, here's his song, But God forbid, God forbid that
I should glory. My friends, Paul had a rich choice
of things in which to glory. Do you know that? Oh, I tell
you, I tell you, the Lord has blessed this congregation for
us a great much, but comparatively to Paul, Peanuts, we're peanuts. We're just peanuts. We're not
even good-sized peanuts compared to Paul. You talk about this
man, this man that wrote this. If we ever feel obliged to be
lifted up in the slightest manner, and this is, I suppose, one of
the largest grace churches in America, in the world for that
matter as far as I know, one of the largest. And I suppose
one of the most influential, I suppose known as much or more
than any other church. You can't go anywhere. This church
is not heard of or known or our tapes or literature or something. But if we ever feel constrained
in the slightest bit to be sidetracked from glorying only in the cross,
let's remember what Paul had to glory in. He said, my mother
was a Hebrew, my daddy was a Hebrew. He said, I was circumcised the
eighth day of the precious tribe of Benjamin. He had a good start. Concerning the law, I was a Pharisee. I climbed as high as you could
climb. I exceeded many my equals. This man spoke in languages more
than all of them. This man saw Christ face to face. That's right. He saw him on the
road to Damascus. This man was taken into the desert
place and taught the gospel by God himself. That's exactly what
he said. I didn't confer with men, my
gospel came from Christ. This man also was taken up to
the third heaven. He was the only man who was ever
taken from a standing position to glory and brought back to
earth. Enoch was translated, he should
not see death and so forth. But he was the only man who was
taken right into the third heaven and came back to there. He suffered
more persecution for Christ than any other man of his day. He had more education and religious
heritage and power over all the churches. And yet he says here,
God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of Christ. Oh, how we need to learn, how
we need to learn, how we need to be stripped and whittled down
and broken. These hearts of ours are so deceitful
and desperately wicked. We find so much in which to glory. Listen to Jeremiah over here
in Jeremiah 9. Listen to this. In Jeremiah chapter
9, you know, the disciples came back one day and said, Lord,
the devils were subject to us. Don't rejoice in that. Rejoice
that your name is in the book of life. Rejoice that your name,
your name is in the book of life. Jeremiah 9 verse 23, Thus saith
the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not
the mighty man glow in his might. Let not the rich man glow in
his riches. Let him that gloweth glow in
this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord,
which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in
the earth. In these things I delight. What do you delight in, Lord?
Lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness. That's what I
delight in. I delight in it. Paul could have
glowed rich. My feet he'd assure if he'd been
living today and like us he'd have written a book on his sufferings
for Jesus He'd have written a book on his visions in Revelation
If he'd written those books he'd have had after his name all the
titles that he earned in his in the University of Gamaliel
But I Paul Nothing who is Paul who is Cephas who is Apollos
nothing? God did give it the increase.
Our religious world is plagued with pride that God despises. I know it. I know it. God's not
within a hundred miles of this stuff. What did Paul mean by glorying
in the cross? Listen, God forbid that I should
glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Well, let
me tell you something here. Now this is so important. Would
you listen a moment? Paul didn't simply mean the fact
of the cross, glorying in the fact of the cross. It's a fact
that Christ became a man. It's a fact that he took our
flesh. It's a fact that he lived on
this earth. It's a fact that he died on the
cross. It's a fact that he was buried
and rose again. It's a fact that he ascended
to heaven. But Paul believed in, rested
in, and preached and gloried in, not the fact of the cross,
but the message of the cross. The message. the doctrine of
the cross, the message of the cross. Here's the glory. Here's
the hope. Here's the offense. Here is what
men call foolishness. In the cross we have the doctrine
of the atonement. Turn to Romans chapter 5. Let
me show you that. It's the message of atonement.
It's the doctrine of atonement. It's the gospel of atonement.
That's what we have in the cross. It's not just a fact of the cross. Not just the fact of it. This
is what scares me about, and I had a friend that contacted
me last week and let me know he had a crucifix on his wall.
He's going to keep it there because he looked at it, it reminded
him of Christ dying for him. Well, my friends, it's not that That
cross, you see, that's not the fact that Christ died. It's the
atonement, it's the message of atonement, it's the doctrine
of atonement. Listen to Romans 5a. God commended His love toward
us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved
from wrath through Him. For if, when we were enemies,
we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more
being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only
so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom
we have now, through His death, through His cross, through His
blood, through His sacrifice, we have now received the atonement,
atonement. Divide that atonement into three
syllables. A-T-O-N-E-M-E-N-T. At one. Mike, we're one with
God. That's the message of the cross.
We're one with God. Through the substitutionary work,
through the satisfactory, efficacious, sufficient sacrifice of our Lord,
who died under the guilt and burden and filth of our sin,
we're one with God again, where our souls are restored. That's
at one month. That's the message of atonement.
That's what the cross says. But not only that, the cross
says that God is satisfied. He's now just and justified.
Look across the page at Romans 3, verse 25. God sent forth, whom God sent
forth, Romans 3, 25, to be a propitiation. A mercy seat, His Son. Verse
26, to declare, I say at this time God's righteousness that
He might be just and justifier. That's what the cross screams
out. That's what Calvary preaches. That's what the death of Christ
says. God's justified. God's justified. The law is satisfied. The atonement is made. That's
the message of the cross. The message of substitution,
by His stripes we're healed. It's the doctrine of eternal
redemption. Eternal redemption. Christ was
the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. And in heaven we're
going to cry, worthy is the Lamb that was slain. Way back before
the foundation of the world, they were talking about the Lamb
slain. All this time, whenever it was, or however long it was,
when we get to glory, we're going to have the same message. Worthy
is the Lamb that was slain. And you want me to preach something
else? I want to join with that universal song. I want my voice
to take up the theme of heaven. The theme of heaven. The theme
of the angels. The theme of the universe. I
go back and pick up my song before the world began. Christ the Lamb
slain before the foundation of the world. And I keep on singing
this song and when I get to glory I find out that's what they sing
up there. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain. So I'm in harmony.
I got the message. I got the message. I'm just as
sure of that as you're putting a high five. So it's the Christ
of the cross. It's the message of the cross.
It's the doctrine of the cross. Now let me say something here,
and you listen carefully. It might be like the barber.
You may not get this either. But listen to it carefully. If
you preach the doctrine of the cross, It won't be long till
you'll have to bear the cross of the doctrine. It's a sure
thing. If you preach the true doctrine
of the cross, and you preach it so folks will know what you're
saying, it won't be long till you'll have to bear the cross
of the doctrine. Paul called it the offense of the cross.
And it'll lay heavy on you, because Satan does not like that message.
Why did Paul glow in the cross? Well, he saw all the vital issues
resolved in the cross in the death of Christ. He saw the divine
attributes revealed and fulfilled and manifested. He saw divine
love. He saw divine justice. He saw
a full payment of sin. He saw the full removal of sin
and guilt. And he saw peace established.
And what effect did it have on him? Well, let's look at our
text, and I'll quit. Galatians 6. What effect did it have on
him? I want you to listen. The Apostle Paul went to Calgary,
and when he came back, he came back with this attitude. God
forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me. It's dead. It does not have the power and
the influence over me that it once had. I'm just not really
too much interested in its materialism, in its possessions, in its glory,
in its popularity. As far as I'm concerned, it's
dead, and I'm dead to the world. I'm dead to the world. I'm not
seeking their approval nor their friendship. I'm dead to the world.
I'll earn my living in the world as best I can, but let the world
go its way and I'll go mine. I'll have to do with it just
what I have to to get along, because Christ said, I pray not
that you should take them out of the world, but keep them from
the evil one. There's a way of using the world
without abusing it. There's a way of living in this
world and yet not being of this world. Christ said they're not
of the world even as I'm not of the world. Our Lord Jesus
Christ was born into this world. This is God himself in human
flesh. He was born in this world and
he actually worked in a carpenter's shop, Tom. He got made his living
with his foster father working in a carpenter's shop. He used
this world, yet this world didn't use him. He used this. He worked. And also our Lord
and his disciples caught fish and sold them. They caught fish. They went out in the boat. Somebody
made the boat. Our Lord didn't walk on the water
everywhere. He was in a boat and they made a boat. Somebody
made those nets. Somebody made the rope out of
which the nets were made. He was in a world. He slept in
a bed. He slept under a roof that somebody
put over his head. I'm telling you, we can use this
world. You don't have to go somewhere to a cave to be spiritual. We're
in this world, but we're not of it. We use this world, but
not abusing this world. We walk through this world knowing,
like Abraham, that we're walking through. We're not going to stay
here. That our treasure is in glory. And we look for a city
whose builder and maker is God. And we're just here for a little
while. For a little while.
