  106. And you're very attentive.

  107. He's going to do it.

  108. And you're going to do it.

  109. And you're going to do it.

  110. At that time anyway, I don't know what they do nowadays,

  111. but there was what they called an automatic pilot on the boat.

  112. It wasn't a person.

  113. It was just a wee wheel

  114. that once you left all the narrows and the shallows into the ocean,

  115. and it locked onto that.

  116. It wasn't perfect, of course,

  117. but there was motors that worked on both sides.

  118. It would bring it back,

  119. and the other side, bring it back.

  120. And it's very like the Christian faith.

  121. At the heart of the earth,

  122. it is not cast out

  123. once you are locked into that system.

  124. And who wouldn't want to be locked into that system?

  125. Wouldn't you like it?

  126. If Christ came to you today and said,

  127. do you want to be made whole?

  128. And you say,

  129. well, I remember an old person saying that in a church

  130. when we were on holidays,

  131. and he talked about this thing,

  132. he talked about that thing,

  133. and the whole chick saw comes together

  134. and fits into your lives.

  135. and I pray today that this would be the case.

  136. I spoke to him again and again,

  137. he says,

  138. to story,

  139. because he had restored to them,

  140. to him,

  141. the years that the locust had eaten.

  142. He would have been a happy man,

  143. surely.

  144. 38 years

  145. under the curse of sin

  146. and redeemed

  147. in the precious blood

  148. of Jesus Christ.

  149. God's unmerited favor

  150. towards man.

  151. And if you take anything at all

  152. away from here today,

  153. Mother Ruth,

  154. Samila,

  155. remember now

  156. your creator

  157. in the days of your youth.

  158. lest the evil days come.

  159. And you say to yourself,

  160. I have no delight.

  161. And there's many today out there

  162. who say that.

  163. Everything.

  164. I have no delight.

  165. I have no aim in life.

  166. I have no aim in life.

  167. Because their course in life

  168. wasn't corrected.

  169. And they went askew

  170. from these things.

  171. And they fell into company.

  172. And you see the result of it

  173. on your television

  174. every night,

  175. day of life.

  176. And that's how John Newton

  177. put it in one of his hymns.

  178. Fading is the swaddling's treasure.

  179. All its boasting pomp

  180. and show.

  181. Solid joys

  182. and lasting treasures.

  183. None

  184. but silence,

  185. children.

  186. No.

  187. May that be

  188. your portion

  189. and our old portion

  190. today.

  191. That this was seat

  192. that fell

  193. into good

  194. soil.

  195. and God bless you

  196. wherever you're going.

  197. Pray to you

  198. as I take you home

  199. safely

  200. to your own places

  201. and find

  202. a place

  203. to worship

  204. where the gospel

  205. is breached

  206. by the end.

  207. You might be there

  208. for all I know.

  209. I don't know.

  210. That's not my business.

  211. But we'll leave it

  212. at that just now.

  213. That was a request

  214. he made.

  215. He was asked,

  216. do you want to be made whole?

  217. He said,

  218. I don't have anybody

  219. and Jesus said,

  220. I'm not on about that.

  221. What I'm on about

  222. is

  223. you want to be made whole.

  224. and that's when

  225. your whole body

  226. comes together.

  227. You become

  228. a whole person,

  229. my friend.

  230. Spiritually

  231. and physically

  232. the two are kept together

  233. in the way of God.

  234. The highway to heaven

  235. is along

  236. that way.

  237. May God bless us.

  238. Lord, we pray

  239. that you would

  240. bless us now

  241. and keep us

  242. mindful of

  243. who we are

  244. and whom we serve.

  245. You will never

  246. be separated

  247. from your own

  248. because you

  249. have bought them

  250. with your own blood

  251. on the cross of Calvary.

  252. Amen.

  253. Now we conclude

  254. by singing

  255. from

  256. Salam of Home.

  257. There we are.

  258. Salam 37

  259. Salam 37

  260. 3-5

  261. Psalm 37, verse 3.

  297. I

  298. I

  299. I

  300. I

  301. I

  302. I

  303. Now we stand now for the benediction.

  304. And now may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,

  305. the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit

  306. rest upon us and abide with us,

  307. now and forevermore.

  308. Amen.
