What We Believe and Why We Believe It, Part 5

Welcome to the Word of the Lord, the weekly television

broadcast of Living Word Christian Church, proclaiming

the good news of the gospel of the Lord Jesus

Christ. Pastor Mark Clements, in -depth, relevant

biblical teachings will help you in life and

living in today's world. Now, let's join Pastor

Clements in the service already in progress.

We're just a little short on time. We won't do

this. We won't do this. But what I'd like to

do is have some of our young people come up and

take their Bibles and just take a verse and just

go through all of these. Now, we did last week,

and I had them leave them on the whiteboard,

put the whiteboard back up there. And if you

can swing over to that whiteboard with one of

our cameras, there it is. And I want to do that

for your sake who are watching and who are streaming

with us and who are viewing. I'm going to leave

it up there on the screen for just a few more

seconds so that you can take your phone and you

can take a screenshot of what's on the screen

right now. And what we're streaming, those of

you viewing this later, obviously you can pause

yours and your device. And then you've got that

list of all those scriptures we gave you. It's

not inclusive of all scriptures in the Bible

that communicate to us the Bible truth, the eternal

truth, that there's only one way to heaven. There's

only one way to God. There's only one way to

eternal life. There's only one way to salvation.

And his name is Jesus. It's not a series of do's

and don'ts. It's not a code of conduct. It's

a person. It is God Himself designated as the

Son who came to earth. Who came to earth. Now,

think about the wisdom of God and the foolishness

of all of God's enemies. In the foolishness of

all of God's enemies, they believed that this

was some kind of a fight, that it was some kind

of a wrestling match, that it was some kind of

competition between Jesus and the devil, and

the devil won. It was some kind of a competitive

match, and they rejoiced in that they had taken

the Son of God, and that they had killed the

Son of God, and that they had stymied the entire

plan of God. and that they had won. They didn't

realize everything that happened was the plan

of God. It's always the plan of God. The plan

of God was for God to leave heaven, strip himself

and lay everything aside and descend down into

earth and be born as one of the weak. Feeble,

frail human beings, susceptible to cold and heat,

susceptible to hunger and thirst, susceptible

to sickness and infirmity and disease, susceptible

to pain and agony, susceptible to loneliness

and solitude, susceptible to temptation and therefore

sin, and become a human, a little lower than

the angels, needing sleep and rest. And God would

become a human. Less than the angels. And born

into sin. Although He was not born into sin,

and nor did He ever sin, but He was tempted every

way like we are. And it was always the plan of

God that He would be turned over to the hands

of sinners, that He would be rejected of men,

that He would be crucified, that He would be

smitten, that all would leave Him and forsake

Him, that He would be alone, that He would die.

Always was it God's plan that He would descend

and for three days and nights there would be

darkness and hopelessness, but on the third day

He would rise again. It's always been the plan

of God that 50 days, after the Passover, 50 days

after the crucifixion, there would be a celebration

which all the way back through the Old Testament,

through Deuteronomy, through Numbers, through

Leviticus, all the way back to Exodus. The day

of Pentecost, 50 days after the Passover had

always been celebrated as the Feast of Weeks.

celebrating the harvest of God and the fulfillment

of the 49 days, seven days of seven, 50 days

after Passover, they always celebrated and came

together to offer their thanks with a sacrifice.

On that very day, the Lord Jesus, who had received

the Holy Spirit when he sat down at the right

hand of God, poured out and he came surging into

planet Earth. It's not an afterthought. Hey,

they're all joined together down there and they're

in that upper room. We should do something for

them. It's always been the plan of God. Always

has it been the plan of God that he would then,

he would then, until the fullness of time, until

time had been fulfilled, go to heaven and sit

at the right hand of God. But then on that day,

the last trumpet would blast and he would come

and return. And we'd meet him in the air. It's

always been the plan of God that there be a thousand

-year millennial reign right here on planet Earth.

And that He and He alone will be exalted as head

over all. It's always been the plan of God that

there be a new heavens and a new earth in the

next chapter, in the next phase of what it is

that our God's going to do. Always. Always. Now,

we got that off the screen now. These are all

the verses that we looked at last week. We're

not going to repeat it. Every single one of these

verses, every single one of them, and then more

in our Bible, more in our Bible, point to this

Bible fact that there is no other way to salvation.

That Jesus is the door and there isn't a second

door. That this nonsense that's preached even

in Christian churches, and I'm sure is being

preached again somewhere right here in our nation

this morning, that there are many paths up the

mountain, and it doesn't matter which path you

take to find God. All those other paths are washed

out. All those other paths have no bridge. All

those other paths are dead ends. There's only

one path that leads to heaven. Jesus said, I

am the door. Anyone who comes in through me shall

be saved. And he didn't say, and there are a

couple of others, and if you're lucky, you'll

find him. He didn't say that. He didn't say that.

He said, I am the way, the way, the way. Only

one path, the way. I am the way. Only one way

to get there. Only one way to get there. We live

on a dead end. Our road is a dead end road. And

if you don't turn off of one of our particular

county highways onto our road, you are not going

to get there, at least not by vehicle. There's

only one path. And we live right toward the end

of the dead end, and then we have one driveway

that goes up to our house. No second driveway.

There's only one path to get to the Clements

residence. You don't get there by accident. Only

one path. And no one is going to get to heaven

by accident. There is only one path. Jesus said

it, John 14, 6, I am the way, the truth, and

the life. No man comes to the Father except through

me. Now, how people can claim the title of Christian,

claim to be even born again, call themselves

evangelical, say they are a Bible person, but

then say, but there are other ways to heaven

besides Jesus. Who says? Who says? Is that what

God says? Is that what Jesus said? Is that what

the Holy Spirit inspired any of the writers of

Scripture to say? So all it is is you. It's just

you said it. That's it. No, no, no. I've got

70 % of other Americans that say it. Okay. Okay.

See, my Bible and your Bible, our Bible talks

about this. Jesus said this is the master parable.

And if you don't get this one, you won't get

any of the parables. When the word of God is

preached, there are four types of heart conditions

where it lands. And the first one is hard and

it doesn't even penetrate, just trickles off.

And the second are those who wilt because they're

not in the majority and people persecute them

and mock them and make fun of them. And their

friends and their family members question them.

and they have no backbone, and they aren't resolved.

I find it a whole lot easier just to say, this

is the Word of God, and I believe it, than just

to say, well, parts of it might be true, and

there are some things in here we're not sure

of, and some of it's outdated and needs to be

updated. You just be uncertain and unsecure and

unsure and always bobbing up and down. And I

find it, personally, Just a whole lot easier

just to be stable. Get up every morning and say,

yep, that's my Bible. It is the Word of God.

It's inspired in its entirety. It's eternal in

its duration. It is to be believed and embraced

and lived by everyone that claims the name of

Christ. Amen. And it says there is no other way.

I realize what the articles say. I realize what

your internet says. I realize what the other

preachers say. I realize what even in other churches

right here in our city say. But the Bible, the

B -I -B -L -E. Yes, that's the book for me. Yeah,

that's the book for me. It says there is only

one way. All right. So for today, today, today.

we're going to be looking at John chapter 3 to

John 3 · chapter mention

start with. John chapter 3 says that you must

John 3 · chapter mention

be born again. Now again, there are a fair number.

I gave my articles away already to be mailed

to one of our viewers who asked if she could

have them. So I don't have the articles in my

possession anymore. They're right over here.

But one of them gives the actual number of born

-again people who believe that God will recognize

your good works and you can come on merit, what

you've accomplished and what you've done. And

if you lived a good life... and you were nice

to other people, you were a good neighbor, then

God will take all that into consideration, and

He'll allow you in because you were good. I'll

just have you listen, then I'll give you the

address. Ready? Okay, two people over here. I'll

just preach to you. Anybody over here? You ready?

If I am right with God because of what I do,

then Christ died for nothing. If I'm right with

God because of what I do, then Christ died for

nothing. That's Galatians 2, verse 21. I do not

Galatians 2:21

frustrate the grace of God, for if righteousness

comes by the law, that's what I do, then Christ

died in vain. He died for nothing. See, if I

could live a good life, and if I could be sweet,

listen to me out there, you watching this morning,

if you could live a good life, and if you could

be nice and kind and sweet, you ought to be all

those things, and you certainly oughtn't to live

a bad life. You ought to be a good neighbor.

You ought to be a good employer or a good employee.

You ought to be a good friend. You ought to be

a good sibling. You ought to be a good parent

or a good child or a good grandparent. You ought

to be honest. You ought to keep your word. You

ought to be truthful. You ought to do what's

right. But if that is all it took to get to heaven,

Jesus could stay right up there at the right

hand of God, never had to come, didn't have to

die on the cross. Well, he did for the bad people.

How about this? Well, you're one of them. How

can you say that, Pastor? It's really easy. The

Bible says, for all have sinned and fall short

of the glory of God. Romans 3 .23. And since

all have sinned, all we have is good sinners

and bad sinners. We have good people who sin

and bad people who sin because all people have

sinned. All have sinned and fall short of the

glory of God. And since all have sinned, then

all are worthy of death because Romans 6 .23

says the wages of sin is death. The wages of

sin is not heaven because you're a good person.

The wages of sin is death and all of sin, so

the wages for all is death. And so then God steps

in and says, but the gift of God, gift is unmerited,

gift is unearned, gift is undeserved. This week

was my birthday. Thank you all, by the way. Had

a celebration here on Wednesday night. Had a

celebration all day with Paula on Thursday. Had

a celebration with some of our family members

on Thursday night. And even talked my dad into

coming out. Glory to God. Morning, Dad. And thank

you all. Thank you all for your cards and notes

and for your gifts. I didn't earn any of them.

I didn't earn one of them. I didn't do anything

for them. Our staff presented a gift to me before

service. I didn't do anything to earn that. It

was a birthday present. It was a gift. You don't

do anything to earn a gift. I feel almost embarrassed

sometimes. I said it on Thursday night. I said,

I didn't bring you all here to get stuff from

you. I mean, I brought you here to eat meatballs

and cheesy potatoes and birthday cake. I don't

know, Bishop, I don't know how I feel about this.

I don't want to start, you know, I don't want

to start anything this morning, but I can't find

anything in the Bible about celebrating birthdays.

There's only two people in the whole Bible that

we have record of that celebrated their birthday.

I should just leave it right there and let people

just do their own Bibles, shouldn't I? Only two

people in the whole Bible ever celebrated their

birthday. So I don't know how I feel about it.

Celebrate them. I really don't. Pharaoh and King

Herod. Only two people in the whole Bible that

it ever says anything about them celebrating

the day of their birth. I just throw that in

for free. Some of you, I might as well just close

right now because you won't hear another word.

Was he saying that? Oh, I didn't say anything.

Blow out your candles. Eat your cake. I think

you're okay. The point is, you get gifts. And

you don't earn them. If you get a paycheck, you

earned it. That's why you go. That is why you

do what you do. You go to work, you get a paycheck.

You earned it. You earned it. No one will earn

heaven. It was earned for you, and you have to

receive it as a gift. Now, this verse... These

verses, I should say, we'll read the third chapter

of John here, and then we might just have to

close. But that's okay. We get to come back next

week. If the Lord tarries. I'll paraphrase just

the first couple of verses so we can make our

way through. John chapter 3, this man named Nicodemus

John 3 · chapter mention

came to Jesus, and he said, we know you've come

from God. And Jesus answered him and said, And

this is really important, because what Nicodemus

says is, we know that you are a teacher come

from God. No one could do the miracles that you

do unless God be with him. So listen real carefully

to what's happening. This man comes to Jesus.

To Jesus, he's in the flesh. He's manifested

on planet Earth in human form. And he says to

him, we know you are come from God. No one could

do what you do unless God was with him. So he

confesses right here, Jesus, you've come from

God, and you've done miracles. God is with you.

And Jesus said that's not enough to make it to

heaven. Not enough to believe in Jesus. Not enough

to believe he came from God. Not enough to believe

he did miracles. Apparently that's not enough.

Because Jesus looked at him and in the next sentence

said to this same man who just confessed, I believe

that you came from God. And he said to him, verily,

verily. Now what does the Bible mean when it

says verily, verily? Truly, truly. It means pay

attention. Whenever he says verily, but when

he says verily, verily, that means like, that

means like. Okay, don't be distracted right now.

Except a man be born again, he cannot see the

kingdom of God. Now, Nicodemus, he's naturally

minded. Not that anybody today isn't, but he

was more naturally minded. He wasn't born again.

He didn't have the Spirit of God on the inside

of him to help him. You and I do. And he immediately

says, Born again. See, the easiest way probably

to understand this is what Jesus said, you have

to be born a second time. If you're only born

once, raise your hand if you were born once.

This is not a trick question. This is not a trick

question. Being born again means you have to

be born twice. Twice born. Twice born. That's

Bible vernacular. You have to be twice born.

And so Nicodemus says, we know you're a teacher

come from God. No one could do these miracles

unless you came from God. And Jesus looked at

him and said, unless a man's born again, he'll

never see the kingdom of God. Unless a man is

twice born, unless you have been born a second

time, you cannot go to heaven. Well, if you think

naturally, you're in trouble right here, right

now. And that's exactly what Nicodemus does.

He backs up. He says, what? How could I crawl

up into my mother's womb and be born a second

time? That's what he says. Next verse. How shall

a man be born a second time, twice born, born

again when he's old? Can he enter a second time

in his mother's womb and be born? Can you imagine

Jesus when he talks to people? How long must

I tolerate you? And he said, you have to be born

twice. You have to be born twice. See, the Bible

talks about two births and teaches two births

and two deaths. One birth is natural. The second

birth is spiritual. It's a spiritual rebirth.

or your physical, the outward you. The new birth

comes by the Holy Spirit, and it's the inside

you. It's the eternal you. The spiritual and

eternal part of your being is reborn. The exterior,

the natural part of your being, isn't. It retains

all the same characteristics, shape of your face

and your eyes and your hair color and your height.

None of that changes. Everything changes on the

inside. On the inside. The Bible also teaches

two deaths. And if you're only born once, you're

going to die twice. The natural death where you

breathe out your last and your body gets still

and starts to cool instantly. And eventually

rigor mortis sets in and we bury it. But you've

left that body. You depart. If you're a Christian,

you depart to be with Christ, which is by far

the best. You depart into the everlasting presence

of God. Matthew 25 says, if you aren't, and if

your name is not written in the Lamb's book of

life, you descend into everlasting torment, prepared

for the devil and his race. That's the second

death. That is the second death. Want to see

that in Scripture? Okay, I'm going to have to

keep you here. That all right? Turn to the last

page of the Bible. Turn to Revelation chapter

Revelation 21 · chapter mention

21. Oh, I don't even have time to do all this,

but I'll just give you a couple of verses, okay?

All right. It's talking about the thousand -year

reign of Christ in those first five verses of

Revelation chapter 20. And verse 5 says, The

Revelation 20 · chapter mention

rest of the dead live not again till the thousand

years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the

first resurrection. On such the second death

has no power. The second death has no power.

Look at verse 14. Ready? Verse 14. And death

and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This

is the second death. And whoever's not found

written in the book of life was cast into the

lake of fire. There's a first death, and there's

a second death. And everyone who's died once,

everyone who's... Life has ceased, no matter

at what stage, no matter for what cause. Awaits

judgment day. And only then will it be determined

whether or not they will die the second time.

And that's plunge into the lake of fire forever

and ever and ever. But if you've been born twice,

you won't die twice. If you've been only born

once and never been born again, you'll die both

those times, naturally and then eternally. But

if you're born twice, twice born, born once naturally

through your mother, that's the only way to get

into this planet, the only way to get into the

human race, the only way, irrefutable. I don't

even know if some of these unbelieving believers

don't believe that. You come through your mom.

And he says, how can I crawl up in my mom's womb

again and be born a second time? And Jesus, back

to John 3, and we'll close. Jesus says, verse

5, except a man be born of water, that's the

natural birth, and born of what? Born of the

Spirit. He cannot enter the kingdom of God. That

which is born of human parents, that which is

born of the flesh, is flesh. That which is born

of the Spirit... is spirit. Your parents gave

you that outward encasement. They gave you that

set of legs and set of feet and set of hands,

and they gave you that pretty face, and they

gave you that posture. That all came from your

human parents. The Holy Spirit doesn't change

that. That which is born of the Spirit is your

spirit. Look up here at the screen. We won't

turn to it. Get my piano player up here. That'll

help me. even know I'm wrapping up. 1 Thessalonians

5, 23. Remember this verse? Remember this verse?

Paul is writing, it says, the very God of peace

sanctify you entirely. And I pray God that your

whole, now watch this. I pray God, I need three

men up here. You three will do. Yep. And I pray

God, and I pray God, and I pray God. That's your

whole spirit. Remember, this is just one person.

Get closer. Get tight. Get real tight. Okay,

you pull out in front here. No, not you. Not

you. You're a spirit man. You're the hidden man

of the heart. Your soul. Your body. Now, which

one can you see? Exclusively. Which one can you

kind of sort of see a little bit of? Soul. That's

the personality. That's mind, will, emotions.

That's what makes you the person that you are.

What can't you hardly notice at all? Now, let's

switch them around. Let's make you the spirit.

Let's make you Hulk, Hogan, the body. Now, that's

how it is most of the time right there. Yep,

spirit, soul, and body. And the only reason that

the Bible does this is so that we can identify

that we truly have been made in the image of

God. After His likeness. God is three parts,

spirit, soul, and body. We are Father, Son, Holy

Spirit. He is. And He said, I'm going to make

this man, and we're going to make him in our

image and after our likeness. Read Genesis again.

God didn't say, I'm going to make him in my image

and my likeness. He said, we're going to make

him in our image and in our likeness. And he

made Adam a living soul. He took his body from

the dust of the earth. They can still take your

body, any hair, bones, any organ, skin, anything.

And it's only made up of the elements that come

out of soil. Bishop, stand up. I want everybody

to see how much darker my complexion is than

Bishop Augustine. See? See? They call me white.

Am I white? No. No. Every pigmentation of every

human being somehow mimics some soil that's on

planet Earth. It's either a little more yellow

or a little more red or a little more dark or

real dark or brownish. Every human being's complexion,

their skin, somehow reflects the elements of

the planet because that's what we're made out

of. A great, great majority of the percentage

of our outward being is water. Just water. H2O.

And the rest of it's a little bit of magnesium,

a little bit of copper, and a little bit of riboflavin.

I don't even know what that is. Vitamin A and

vitamin C and iron and niacin. It's just elements

out of the soil. And you put one of these bodies

back in the soil, what does it become? From the

dust you were taken and to the dust you shall

return. That's the body. That's the body. But

our God wants us to see that there is an outward

man and there's also an inward man. And the inward

man is made up of the Spirit and the soul. And

the only thing sharp enough to divide the two

is the Word of God. Hebrews 4 .12 The only thing

sharp enough to divide asunder between soul and

spirit is God's Word. Otherwise, you can't divide

them. They're like linked. They go together.

The eternal part of you is spirit. And you have

a soul. And they're never separated. The soul

makes you who you are. The individual qualities

of every human being, that's the soul. And then

you live inside of a body. And the only part

of this three -part being that your parents gave

you was the bod. Was the body. God is the Father.

of all spirits. The Father of spirits. Shall

we not be in subjection to the Father of spirits

and live? And he's placed this being together,

a body, with a soul, and a spirit. And he takes

1 Thessalonians 5 .23, pulls them apart, pulls

it out, lays it in front of you, and says, this

is who you are. This is every human. You are

a spirit. You're not a body. You're a spirit.

You have a soul. You have a body. And the Holy

Spirit, when you're born again, Nicodemus, doesn't

mean your body has to somehow get birthed a second

time. It's not your body that gets birthed. It's

your spirit that gets reborn. Your spirit gets

reborn in the nature of God. In the nature of

God. And you're a new creature. See, going through

a class doesn't make you a new creature. Following

a set of rules and a code of conduct doesn't

make you a new creature. Getting dipped in water

or having water poured on you does not make you

a new creature. Joining a church does not make

you a new creature. Giving money into a project

doesn't make you a new creature. The only thing

that makes you a new creature, a new creation,

and that's what 2 Corinthians 5 .17 says, if

any man be a Christ, he's a new creature, a new

creation. This part of your being, the spirit

part of your being, the eternal part of your

being is recreated. A Greek lexicon will tell

you that word, creature, means a brand new creation

that has never existed before. A brand new creation

that's never existed before. Now, if this is

what existed before, and you get born again,

this old creature has to leave because it's a

brand new creation. Brand new creature that...

Now, I should have picked someone else. Come

here, Mary. Because I want to flip people out.

I want them to turn their head sideways and say,

what did he say? Your spirit doesn't have a gender.

Your spirit doesn't have a gender. So, you know,

it looked like one before, but that old one passed

away. It's a brand new creation that never before

existed, and now you get to be the... Spirit

man. Kind of tucked in there, right behind the

soul. And the soul you recognize as people's

personality, what they're like, their mind, their

will, their emotions. That's all in their soul.

And your spirit doesn't have to be renewed anymore.

Your spirit's already been recreated. Your mind

has to be renewed. The saving of your soul is

what James chapter 1 verse 21 says. Receive with

James 1:21

meekness the engrafted word which is able to

save your soul. Your soul isn't saved yet. Still

got stinking thinking. Still are carnally minded.

Still have things that need to be renewed and

changed. But your spirit? Already changed after

the image of God. Perfect. That's a one -time

instant event. Renewing your mind is a lifelong

process. And what about my body? Oh, thank God

for the 8th chapter of Romans that says the day

is coming when the last trumpet blows. 1 Corinthians

1 Corinthians 15 · chapter mention

chapter 15 says when corruptible puts on incorruption

and imperfect becomes perfect and temporal becomes

eternal. And on that day, our body will be redeemed.

The redemption of our body. You know, all the

people that have gone to heaven, that's their

soul and their spirit that's there. Their body

still awaits that moment when they're resurrected

and changed. And then and only then will our

whole being, thank you all. Thank you. Thank

you. Only then will our whole being and our whole

body be redeemed. And we'll be able to stand

then in the presence of God because Flesh and

blood cannot stand in God's presence. That's

what it says. Neither does corruption. Corruption

put on incorruption. It's still corruptible.

It still ages. It still can be tempted. But one

day, whether you leave your body behind and go,

and it'll catch up, or whether you're changed

in the twinkling of an eye, we'll all be changed

and redeemed. What about those people, Pastor?

What about those people who went to church? What

about those people who trusted in their infant

baptism? What about those people who went to

class? What about those people who came to your

church? What about those people who watched and

virtually joined you and streamed? What about

those people? Verse 7, marvel not that I say

to you, you must be born again. You must be born

again. I don't care how many classes you take.

It doesn't matter how much money you give. It

doesn't matter how many songs you sing. It doesn't

matter how many people you help across the street.

Your spirit remains dead until you're born again.

And then you're reborn. And that's a work of

the Holy Spirit. And that's a subject for next

week's service. Let's stand. That's enough for

today. We're covering our statement of faith.

And our statement of faith here in this particular

church just absolutely does our best to conform

to God's Word, the Bible. And number 10 on our

list, on our statement of faith is, you must

be born again. You must be born again. Pastor,

you spoke disparagingly about giving and baptism

and going to class and learning things. No, no,

I don't mean to speak disparagingly about any

of them. I'm just saying I said it and I'll say

it again. I'll continue to say it. That's not

what causes you to be born again. The Spirit

of God has to do a work. on the inside of you

and the eternal part of you. And that comes when

you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and put

your whole faith and trust and hope and confidence

and reliance on Him and what He did for you on

Calvary's cross and in dying and in God raising

Him from the dead. You have to make Him the Lord

of your life. Exclusively your Lord. And confess

with your mouth His Lordship. It's what our Bible

says. It is what our Bible says. When I read

those articles that I had here earlier this morning,

and it says, what makes you think you're born

again? And over and over and over and over, 77

some percent, I believe it said, say, well, because

I confessed my sins and asked to be forgiven.

I don't read that in my Bible. Because I asked

Jesus into my heart. You know what? I don't read

that in my Bible. I think there'd be a lot of

people be turned away from the gate. And they're

going to say, but I thought, but I thought, but

I thought, reminds me of Matthew 7, when they

said, but I thought we prophesied in your name.

And we've done miracles in your name. And we

cast out devils in your name. We did many wonderful

things in your name. And he's going to say, I

never knew you. I never knew you. See, there's

one major religion in the world and in America

that tells people that they receive Jesus when

they take the element of communion. That's receiving

Jesus. Maybe we should talk about that. Because

my Bible says that we're saved by faith. Not

by eating and drinking something. By faith. For

by grace are you saved through faith. That not

of yourself, that's a gift of God. Not of anything

that I do, lest I should boast. Oh, I hope to

have another opportunity to serve God by serving

His Word to you. I hope I get one more opportunity.

If I do, it'll be Wednesday night here. And if

we get to finish this, one particular aspect

of what we believe, it'll be next Sunday. And

short of the Lord returning, I'll be here. Hope

you will be. Praise God. Thank you for watching.
