Q&A
DISCLAIMER: The following has been auto-transcribed. We hope it will help you to find the section of this audio file you are looking for.
Well, it's time for our questions. I'm glad, Bob, that you mentioned Afghanistan friends to them. So we are told to pray for those who are in bonds. And I I heard yesterday someone sent a message that 229 Christians were to be executed today in Afghanistan.
Listen to the Lord for His.
Honor and board.
Our first question.
How can we reconcile predestination with?
Free will.
We've heard a little bit about their destination for the last couple days here and there. Maybe somebody could explain what is free work?
So I'd like to try to make a clarification.
On this, have you been happier with the question is reconciling predestination or election with man's responsibility but.
Free will is not something taught in the Bible.
The Bible does say this. Whoever will may come.
It does speak about man as being under ******* minded by Satan and having a well that cannot please God and so I just really like to start there. I know we can say much on this but.
Some of the verses that to me are so clear on this that you did read the other night just recently again and Romans chapter 8.
And there it says in verse 7.
Because the farnal mind, the mind of the flesh, that mind that we were born with.
Is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God neither indeed.
1St is not allowed as far as I speak and thought of the free will.
Man is under ******* and the next verse goes on to continue that thought so that they have learned the flesh again. Not please come just.
Impossibility.
So we talked about man being responsible. The Bible definitely says that. I think we should distinguish those things.
May not make sense, but we need to distinguish.
So I'm upset about the only case. Pretty well was before having to sin in the garden with Eden, he was.
When you talk about free will, you're saying basically you are free from all outside influences to make up your own mind as to what is your bad, and like you say, that is just not the case.
Of mankind today. As soon as Adam and Eve chose to disobey God, they fell under the influence of Satan, who was there very evidently. And they have from that time on there is that.
Make sure that is simple look at.
Ephesians chapter 2 And as I read these verses, you decide whether the person that is talking about here has free will.
He's without any outside influence to do what he wants.
00:05:04
Reverse is under reverses one through 3, and you he quicken as he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins.
Wherein in time fast he walked according to the course of this world, there's one thing that has a powerful effect on.
According to the Prince of the Power of the Air, there's another thing that has powerful effects. See.
The spirit which now worketh in his children of disobedience. That's the nature we have, among whom also we all had our conversation by fast and the rest of our class. There's the other enemy. The world, the flesh, and the devil are all named there and we're.
Affected by those things, we're not free.
Fulfilling the desires of the flesh of the mind, and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
So I.
Agree 10 The better word is responsible. We are responsible for what we do. We will give account for what we do. That's a better will. More than three will. If you go back to predestination, go back to the first chapter of Ephesians.
And there we have predestination.
Notice in verses four and five, verse four is election, verse five is predestination.
And it's different in this sense. When it's election, it's choosing people. When it's predestination, it's a place that they are going to occupy because God has chosen us. He's elected us. He has a.
Destiny in mind for us predestined.
According as he hath chosen us, in Him there's election.
Before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame. Before Him in love.
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children, brought into a place of sonship in God's families by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.
There's three destinations, and I like the illustration that somebody used to help me with that question. How do you reconcile predestination and responsibility, man's responsibility?
They said there are two truths that run right through the word of God. Like 2 rails of a railway. If you look down a straight stretch shuttle right away it looks like maybe it touches up there in the distance, but it never touches.
It runs side by side that in mind when you read the Word of God, there's that which concerns God's sovereign sovereignty in the electing and predestinating, and then there's the side where we are responsible moral agents. And so it helps me to see that. But I'll give one more thought that I must say I enjoy.
Somebody said how can where did those two things touch predestination and?
Responsibility.
This was the answer. I know of nothing so powerful as God in his sovereignty.
I know nothing so weak as man in his responsibility.
Any place they got, she's scared.
There is an expression that goes like this.
All they come.
That's the gospel that we're familiar. All may come.
Done would come.
Because of our makeup.
Some shall come.
And that's the predestination part. God's great love.
00:10:07
I know there's many verses on this, but maybe we could look at a couple in John One.
That's been a help to me. John 1 and verse 11.
Talking about the Lord Jesus Christ coming into this world, it says He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
But as many as received them, to them gave me the right to become children of God to those who believe in his name, who were born.
Receive Life.
Not being naturally born.
Not of blood, not because you came from some family, not because your parents are safe. Nor of the will of the flesh. Nothing in the flesh would choose God. Nothing in man from Adam on chooses God, nor of the will of man. Not because your parents want.
Not because your parents want you to receive blood, but of God. He is the one who gives life.
I can't force my kids to get sick, my kids can't be safe because they were born into my family and my kids can't be safe because the flush washer.
Sovereign act of God is not somebody'd choice. It's not free will.
I sometimes say, Joe, you didn't decide to be born in your natural family, did you?
That's pretty evident.
But when you ask people, did you decide to be born again? And the people say, yes, I made a decision.
If I see that you made a decision.
But the reason you made a decision was because God in his sovereignty had chosen you, and it was by God's will. God wants children in his family, so he shows us.
Let me give another verse that I think really helps to make this clear. On God's side is the choosing and.
That's Acts 13 and 48. There are many verses that we can turn to 1St on both sides of this large sovereignty and man's responsibility.
This one I think is really good that we should know.
Acts 13 and verse 48 says when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord, and as many as were courting.
That word ordained could be translated, chosen as many as were ordained, or chosen to eternal life belief.
That have been chosen and then there came that time when they heard and they believed. And that's what the scripture teaches. This first plaguely lays out what happened that day and it happened every other time a person who got saved, they have been chosen before.
Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word of God. There comes that time that the word of God comes in and that person who was chosen believes.
Ephesians chapter 2 and verse eight that we all know speaks about that.
Faith being the gift of God.
He does not face to believe something. God does the whole work. When it comes to the will we saw it wasn't by the will of man.
Go to James chapter one and verse 18 that says by his own will he have to begotten us who might be the first fruits of his creatures. And so is the will of God that is involved in this thing. It's not the will of man in any way. And as far as the responsibility is concerned, the scripture is clean on that. There's many that show it but one verse that I can think of.
Would be in the end of March.
It tells us in the March 16th.
It says in verse 16 you that believe it.
But he never believeth not shall he say.
There it is, those who don't believe.
They're judged, they're damned, they're condemned.
00:15:01
They live is the one who does that. He's not unjust. This is how we know man is responsible. We don't believe that God judges them for that.
Does that seem right in my mind? Yes, it does, because God said does it make sense to me? I have to admit, no, it doesn't make sense. This is not the way my mind thinks.
But I know it's right because it's here in the Word of God. God has said we have to accept it.
I think there's another thing that he is quite interesting that.
It says is it removes all prey for me, my salvation.
We have.
Reservation for rain later on this morning.
And I want to draw an umbrella for me after meeting about maybe head outside and I really get drenched. And I was the only one to drive. I'd say, well, at least I had enough sense to bring on it. It's not that way. It was salvation. You'll never be able to say, well, at least I had no sense. Accept the offer.
They're lost didn't know it's the gift of God. You have faith for instruction. First of all, that has been right now and it's like it's been called and predestinated and even paid for trusting in this particular thought so.
I can't come.
With any take any credit whatsoever.
All the work of God. So I like the change there pretty well.
Responsibility.
My responsibility to that.
No credit. I can't claim one. I need their credit.
Just go back to that verse 15 of Mark 16 at.
Was mentioning it says glory to all the world, preach the gospel to every creature. God does not have favorites in this world.
And so the gospel is a message to everyone. We are responsible to preach it not just to the the elect or the predestinated, but judiciary, because God wishes that all men will be saved.
And come to the knowledge of the truth, if they go to the last eternity, you will be by because of their own responsibility that happened injected the offer.
This leads us nicely into our next question.
I know it's always good to give the gospel.
But there is this person I've given the gospel to and pray for for almost three years, and I've heard some brothers say that God has chosen us Christians ahead of time. Does this mean he may never get saved? What's the point of hurting myself emotionally over and over?
There's there's some verses. Let's look at Matthew 16.
And verse 24.
Then Jesus said unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
There's several other verses similar to that.
When you go into all the world and preach the gospel.
You need to take up your cross. There's going to be disappointments.
It's going to be difficulties. You're going to get hurt emotionally, you'll get hurt.
But take up your cross and follow the Lord Jesus. Don't. Don't give up.
They don't expect that you yourself are going to accomplish the whole work with that person.
00:20:01
We have we read that one one shows another waters, but it's God that gives the increase. Your job may just be to plant that seed. Years later that seed made germinate and they that person may be saved.
But so don't think that your your efforts are useless. Continue to pray for your friends.
I have a friend that I have had since junior high school.
And we've been pretty close. We used to go fishing together.
But after?
Graduated from high school, he turned more, which of course was.
A tremendous disappointment to me and I continued to pray for him until this day.
Almost 60 years later.
And I tried to follow up once in a while.
So far I've not seen religion pretty hard. I'd like to read the verse in.
Two or three verses of first Timothy chapter 2 which gives you to understand that.
And here it says the question says, what's the point of hurting myself emotionally? Just think of this young person how God hurts.
When he sees somebody determined to go to a lost eternity, God hurts. And so if you hurt, just think of this, that you're in fellowship with God about these matters. Yeah, it hurts.
But look at this in First Timothy chapter 2.
First verse.
I absorbed, therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made.
For all men, not just for a certain.
Percentage for kings.
And for all veteran authorities that we might need a quiet and peaceable life and all godliness and honesty, for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who will have notice this, oh man, to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. I I find that very helpful to see.
Give on personary and prayer.
When you pray for something, you say, well, maybe we have to persuade God. That's not the point. God has a lot more desire that that person gets saved than you do. But in pray that way we come into fellowship with God. And I love to think about that. I don't have to persuade him, but God wants me to feel as he does.
So if you heard, remember.
God heard the Spirit.
Just a few more verses in Isaiah 55, verse eight says, for my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor your ways my way, you said to the Lord, whereas the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts and your thoughts were as the rain comes down and the snow from heaven, do not return there, but water the earth and make it bring forth the bud, make it spring forth the bud that it may give seed into the to the sower.
And bread to the eater so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth shall not return any void I usually we stop there because that's we like that right We like the thought of fruit and in our minds what fruit is is that when we get the gospel, somebody is going to get saved. So we have to remember we're dealing with God, a sovereign God and we have to leave all this with him. So the next part of this verse says but.
Accomplish what I please, what God pleases. We don't know where that person is at and the fact that God is bringing him.
And it shall prosper in the things. The thing for which I sent it. That's God.
Just do what God has told us to do, to give the gospel, and then leave everything else to Him. He is God.
The first to go along with that show you can carry everything else to him is in Genesis chapter 18.
00:25:13
Many of them how we're doing this the end of verse 25 shall not the judge of all the earth do right and you can have that confidence company.
My answer to this would be don't give up.
Three years for a long time.
And he was not saved and he was.
He asked that I'm not saying no. He's pray for my name many times in the assembly term meeting.
And pray for thy name, I suppose, in every verb the gospel that he had.
Grew up in the Navy and the merchant marine. Sailed the 70s.
And his family moved to the West Coast West.
And he was not saying.
And one day, his uncle was still going back and.
Got a phone call at 4:00 in the morning.
His boys dad, I said.
Harold.
And three or I don't know how many years.
He said yeah.
Yeah. So I'd say don't give up.
I'm sure that Father pray for the joy every day.
Or I prefer wow.
Our next question.
How did God speak to people in the Old Testament?
And how does he speak us speak to us today?
I think God spoke to people in the Old Testament in many different ways.
With that of the need if you came down and walked in the garden and he helped with that and he.
Talk to Moses in a burning Bush.
He communicated.
With Moses in the in the wilderness.
The priest head of Europe.
Different ways the the deep gold and eat buds.
Sometimes there are visions.
And there are other ways that God spoke to his people.
Today we have the written word of God. God speaks to us through His words and it's and it's through the power of the Holy Spirit.
If you want to communicate with God.
You speak to him, he speaks to you.
You read the word of God. God is speaking to you.
You pray you are speaking to God and you can develop a relationship with God as your Father through reading and praying.
Chapter One.
God, who had sundry times, and died for the manner, spake in time past unto the Father by the prophets, and half of these last days spoken unto us by His Son, to whom He had appointed air of all things, by whom also He made the world.
7.
00:30:18
That's good.
A lot has spoken to us by His Son. Very nice Hebrews chapter 12, verse 25. He tells us that He now speaks to us from heaven.
And that is still by his Son. But these are those things that we have in the Word of God, I think.
The Lord Jesus said before he went up to heaven, his.
But she cannot bear them now until you send it up on high, he said. The Holy Spirit down.
Doing dwelling so that we could hear those things, and then he spoke them through the apostles and prophets. We have them all in the word of God.
And Paul says in Colossians chapter one that it was given up, given to him that built up the word of God. All that revelation from God is to the church and the Christian doctrine that we needed.
But couldn't receive until the Holy Spirit was sent down. So it's given through those men, through the apostles and prophets, the foundation of the church, and now we have it in the Word of God.
And there is nothing left to complete that. So when Paul writes to the Thessalonians, he says First Thessalonians chapter 2.
Turn into a verse there.
He says in verse 13 for this cause also thankfully God without ceasing, because when you receive the word of God which he heard of us, he received it not as the word of man, but as it is in truth the word of God which effectually worketh also in you the police. And so this is how God speaks to us today.
Let's do his work.
That isn't to deny that.
He may leave us by His Spirit.
He does. We're all led by the Spirit of God.
Those that are led by the Spirit of God and the sons of God. He tells us from the date every one of us who is his Son of God is.
Led by His Spirit. And so the Spirit of God is leading us along day by day.
And in that sense God speaks to us, but it's always consistent with the word of thought is generally through the Word of God. The Spirit of God is the Spirit of truth. And as the Lord Jesus said in John 17, thy word is truth. You never see the Spirit of God except for the Word of God. And so God speaks us to us today by His Spirit and through His Word.
And those other things that would pretend to be from God.
Are not from God at all. This is how he does it.
Let's look at Psalm 19 just a minute there, because I think we see two ways that God speaks and I.
The emphasis on the written Word of God that we have now because there's no way we can say we're not responsible when they have His word in our hands.
God has His testimony in another way as well. We have it in Psalm 19. Notice the first verses from 1:00 to 6:00 is talking about creation. The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament should His handiwork day unto day uttereth speech.
And night of tonight, show us knowledge.
There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.
So here it shows that.
The creation is a very powerful testimony, and God uses that to speak.
00:35:00
Then you come down to verse seven and we have those verses that speak the law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul. The testimony of the Lord is sure making wise and simple, and it goes on from there. But it's about this written word and that's so important as well. So God has his way of speaking.
To me it's very interesting if you go over to the book of Romans, chapter 10.
And is speaking there about the gospel that we preach and.
Notice it says in verse 13, Whosoever shall fall upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they fall on him, and whom they have not believed? How shall they believe on him in whom they have not heard? How shall they hear without a creature? How shall they preach, except they descend as it is written? How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring.
Glad knightings a good things, but they have not all obeyed the gospel.
Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, have they not heard?
And notice this quote is from Psalm 19. It is verily their sound went into all the earth, and it's the testimony of creation that was speaking about it. So God is not limited in His testimony. You think of people who have never seen the written word of God.
Are they responsible to? Yes, because of the testimony they received in creation. So I think it's just helpful to see that detail there. Think those verses are good too, Bob, because how do people hear from God today?
They need a preacher. We have a lot of preachers in this room today. You're a servant of God, you.
People are going to hear the words for you, your friends, your Christians, you other Christians who can share the word of God with them too. You can can share together the word of God and it speaks to one another through Psalm 10 spiritual songs and and your communication. But I the back in Hebrews chapter 12, there's another verse.
This shows how God speaks to us.
At least this is how God spoke to me several times.
Hebrews 12, verse six. For whom the Lord loves, He chastened, and encourages every son whom he receives. If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons. For what son is he whom the Father chases not?
Before I was saved.
Was that the gospel thing with Mr. Berry? And he took some of us down to the stream to go swimming, and I drove off the rocks out into the water, But I didn't die about far enough, and I landed on the rocks below and split my head open and injured my neck.
Later that they took me to the hospital and on the way Mr. Barry asked me, Sam, if you had died and drowned there in this accident, would you have gone to heaven? When I lied to him and I said yes.
Then he dropped me off at my house and my dad got in the car and drove me to the hospital and Dad asked me the same questions. Tim, if you, if you had died, you would be gone to heaven. I lied again.
Later that summer, Mr. Berry was speaking in the Gospel.
And I made sure I got saved that night.
So God speaks to us through experiences in our life and accidents.
In in so many other ways.
And then later in life, yes, I was saved. The Lord had my soul, but He didn't really have my heart.
He didn't have my lordship.
And I had a motorcycle accident.
North School Board.
And that motorcycle accident, I was driving along 65 miles an hour and the car hit me and I rolled down the highway.
We get small streets up.
I didn't listen.
Bought a bigger motorcycle so the cars could see me.
Then ten years later, I had a football accident and I broke my neck.
00:40:01
I didn't know it was broken so many years later, but it was hurting so bad I went and had some X-rays. In the end it was broken. I didn't listen.
Then I had a car accident. I was hurrying home to take two Ruger to the up to the airport.
Stupid now.
And I missed the stop sign and ran into broadside into the side of an onion truck and they took me out on a stretcher, took me to the hospital unconscious. The Lord spoke 1/3 a time.
The Lord speaks once, His voice give man heareth it not. Sometimes the Lord uses some tragedies in our lives to waken us up. We don't listen. Being tested do it again and again. So you also, I know many of you have had experiences, daughters talking to you. He wants to wake you up. He wants you to follow Him, to take up your cross.
And follow Jesus.
Appreciate the clarification and correction.
What I said the Lord certainly speaks other ways. I guess I was thinking too though that it might be in this question.
Glad that the Lord speaks and.
Revelation today because many people do claim that I don't know if that was in the mind who who asked the question but there are those claiming to be prophets today to speak fresh revelation from God and.
That would be false, so it tells us in Ephesians 2.
And in verse 20 that we are built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets.
That was the foundation we're built on, that the foundations laid. We have it, the word of God and to add to this word as to the mind of God.
In Revelation is a work of the Savior. I don't know if that's in the question or not there.
Can also speak through the conscience. Especially the conscience is exercised by the Word of God.
Our next question.
Why did Jesus need to pray to God when he was in constant fellowship with him?
Lord Jesus said he was always in the bosom of the Father.
As a man.
He was dependent and subject to God his Father.
And so he took time to communicate with this father, with father, father.
And then a nice example for us.
I think that's beautiful to see that the Lord Jesus was.
God and very man, and every sense of the Word and.
Mass place is to be dependent and obedient.
Since he was a real man, he was dependent and obedient. Dependent.
00:45:09
Because God has all power, obedient, because God has all authority. And so he gave us the example of what a man is to be. And you see him in prayer. So it's beautiful to think of prayer. Sometimes we think we have to pray.
Let's think of it. It's a privilege to pray.
Just think.
I sometimes think I have a particular place in my house where I go to break.
And I hear down there.
And sometimes I think I'm not just coming into this place in my house.
By faith, I'm going right into the very presence of God.
To the throne of grace.
Think of the millions upon millions of angels that surround that throne.
When I go there, those angels have to open their ranks to let them go right into the presence of God. Now that is privilege of the highest story. Oh, young people counted a privilege.
To pray, we need to pray, yes, but let's think of it not as a constraint, but as a privilege.
A verse we should give is First Thessalonians chapter 5.
Verse 17.
Pray without ceasing.
Here's the brother. Tim, do you do this?
You don't give up.
Let us see what we have to be on our knees all the time, doesn't that?
By driving down the.
Freeway.
And I don't close my eyes.
I hope you don't either.
He's right next.
And you cultivate conversation with him. What would you think? Your brother and you see my wife.
Going to be next month. 47 years married. But you say that she talks to me quite often. I don't pay any attention to her. I say a healthy relationship.
Oh, something's wrong there.
The Lord is right next to us.
Do it for tonight, fellowship with him. Take time. Lord is just so great to know that you're right beside me, that you're helping me every step of the way. I just don't feel able for what's I had today. But you're with me and you have all wisdom. Help me just to converse in your heart. You don't even have to say it with your lips.
But cultivate fellowship with him.
Pray without ceasing.
So it sends in this question.
It has to do with.
More with how that the Lord Jesus needs to do that.
That he was in constant fellowship with God. And I think that's what brothers tried to answer. I don't think there is another answer. This is the mystery of the incarnation and this is something that we can go beyond avoidance.
The point of what's revealed in the scriptures in our mind, we.
Just have to leave it, don't we? How the Lord Jesus.
00:50:04
As man.
Would have to be in that place of dependence and obedience.
When he was at the same time the sustainer and a holder of all things.
That's just a divine mystery of the incarnation. We tend to come and we wonder about things like this, but and it and it's not a terrible thing to do, but we have to understand that we can't go beyond what is right. And if we do that, we're going to get into trouble.
So the Lord Jesus is the one who was walking here on earth and in John three and John One has sent us up there and put him to mention that that he was in the bosom of the Father. How do you understand?
At 1:00, at the same time he was in the bosom of the Father.
We can understand that nothing like who we are, and yet he was holy man as we are.
And John chapter three, he says no man have to send it up into heaven. See the Son of Man who is in heaven.
Was great dead at one at the same time in heaven.
These are things we just read and we can't go beyond in our minds.
We understand that the Lord Jesus was in cause of fellowship with God, and there he was in perfect dependence. He prayed the whole night.
How often he did that.
And we read that and we understand, as it said, it's an example for us.
And it was perfection in him.
To go beyond.
Its only grounds fair for us to stop and worship.
Next question.
What is the person praying say Amen if it is meant for agreement?
Well, in the Lord was teaching his disciples to pray the Lord's Prayer. Let's look at that in.
Matthew 619. Matthew 6.
And verse started verse 9.
After this matter, therefore pray. The Lord is teaching them how to pray. He's not teaching them what to pray, but how to pray. Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name psychings, and come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day Our Daily Bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, and lead us on to temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom and the power of the glory forever.
Amen. The Lord Jesus said Amen at the end of his prayer.
He agrees with his prayer and and the word Amen means it is true.
And I agree with you.
When we're praying in the assembly.
The brothers praying.
He should say Amen.
But not only him.
But you should say Amen. But I'm a sister. You should say Amen. You're a sister. You are a member of the body of Christ. And that brother in the assembly is praying on behalf collectively of everybody in the assembly. And so if you are sleeping or you're not paying attention.
You don't say many, but you're awake and you're listening and you agree. You say Amen. All the people said Amen. And so we have that in the First Corinthians chapter 14.
00:55:11
And everyone, let's start at verse 15 of the 1St 14. He's talking about friends.
If I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the Spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the Spirit. I will sing with the understanding also. Else when thou shalt bless with the Spirit, how shall he that occupy at the room of the unlearned, and say Amen as I giving you thanks?
Seeing he understands not what you are saying. So this is talking about a prayer in the assembly.
Somebody comes in and they hear the prayer, they want to say Amen, but if they don't understand what you're saying, how can they say Amen? So it's assuming here that everybody is saying Amen at the end of the prayer. And so when when a brother praying here in this room at the end, you should hear a chorus of.
In Nehemiah, Jacqueline.
By he says, an editor over the book, in the sight of all the people where he was above all the people when he opened it, all the people stood up and entered across the Lord and great God and some of the people answered Amen, Amen. Well, to follow along. He doesn't say that. He says in all the people answered Amen, Amen. So it's good to say Amen prayers.
For an agreement to the Lord.
Nehemiah, Jeffrey.
35 and six.
Spend any extra time on this foot. Meet a lot of pimples.
Finished with e-mail this week. A couple of weeks. No concern to its highest 3/15.

We are leaving the grace of our ordinances with your Spirit. Amen.
Just give me one more.
And the first year these one another with the shifts and charities with you all.

I think the difficulty here might be in the premise of the question.
Question seems to be suggesting that again the entire break, and I don't believe that's the meaning of Amen.
I think it means so lead.
So when we say it, it's an emphasis, so let it be.
And that's why the person who says it or the end of the epistles.
They have a net and then of course, if we agree with what was said, then we can also say so that it can and then there's agreement.
So it isn't men before agreement necessarily or only it's meant to express. So let it be. And that if we go and say Amen along with the person who expressed it, then we're showing that we have great.
I remember.
And I think we went back and say Amen, I wish to say.
Is the private conversation mentioned that?
You know, encouraging for the younger ones to pray if they heard a rousing. Amen.
I don't know how to go. Finally looked up the courage, the Gray in the public way. It's wonderful to hear those old friends saying Amen.
Really encouraging. So I would encourage everyone.
I'm just wishfully and.
It was heard rousing Amen as one of the year.
We could practice.
Everybody together say Amen.
Amen.

The time is up.
We're seeing the last two verses of #39.
And.

God their Father needs with certainty acknowledgement, greatness in glory, and say Amen to it many times over. We just think of.

How wonderful it is that thou has given us life. I know well chosen that we should see that greatness and glory to see the Lord Jesus and all of his loveliness and.
Be associated with Him for all eternity. We thank Thee so much for these things. Thank you for Thy word. We have to consider something of it this morning and we just look to do for the remainder of this day. We ask for that protection and care and health through today for all the laborers, all the activities and participating that each one of us would be much encouraged and blessed.
This time together.
To not forgetful of them. Anyway, I thought we just asked this and thank you once more for this time and even the Lord Jesus we pray.
