Speaker 1 (00:00):
Turn with me to your scriptures Psalm chapter nineteen, the
Book of Psalm, chapter nineteen. As a matter of fact,
if you don't mind, just if you have your Bible
in your hand or your device that has your Bible
on it, if you don't mind standing and just holding
that word in front of you, and we're just going
to pray over the Word of God. If you have
a great love for God's word, you are going to
love what you hear tonight. If you don't necessarily have
(00:23):
that burning passionate, zealous ambition, hunger in your heart for
the Word of God, I kind of think God's going
to do a miracle tonight and give that to you.
If you've had it and you're missing it now a
little bit, it's waned. It's not that you've gotten luke warm,
but just the things of your heart. The busyness of
schedule has caused this to diminish in that zeal for
(00:45):
the things of the Lord, the Word of the Lord,
the scripture. Then we pray that tonight would be a
rekindling of that fire for the Word of God in
your heart. Father, I pray right now over the Word
to pray that your word would come alive that it
is that sharp two edged sword. And so I'm just
asking you to deliver what comes from your word.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Lord.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
This should be easy for me if I'm not trying
to make things up.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
It's just the delivery of your word. And I thank
you for your word.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Going forth tonight in Jesus name, and remain standing if
you would, we're going to read the whole chapter of
the nineteenth Psalm. I want to encourage you and warn you.
Sometimes when we read scriptures, particularly a long passage of scripture,
we kind of want the preacher to get onto the
commentary about it. But I want to tell you tonight
the commentary about it is not important as the word
(01:35):
of God itself. The most important thing I will do
in your presence tonight is these next few minutes as
I read these verses.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
So don't drift off. Just look at this and.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Say, this is the word of the Lord. Psalm nineteen
to the choir master, the Psalm of David's the David,
the heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky
above proclaims his handiwork day to day pours forth speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech
(02:10):
there are no words whose voice is not heard. Their
voice goes through all the earth, and their words to
the ends of the world. In them, he has sent
set a tent for the sun, which comes out like
a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and a strong man runs
its courts it with joy. Its rising is from the
(02:32):
ends of the heavens, and its circuit is to the
ends of them, And there is nothing hidden from his heat.
The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul.
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart.
The commandments of the Lord are pure, enlightening the heart.
The fear of the Lord is clean and enduring forever.
The rules of the Lord are true and righteous.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
All together.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
More to be desired are they than gold, even much
more than five gold. Sweeter also than honey, and the
drippings of the honeycomb. More over than by as your
servant warned, in keeping them or there is great reward.
Who can discern as errors. Declare me innocent from hidden faults,
Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Let them not have dominion over me.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Then I shall be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of
my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my
Rock and my Redeemer. This is the word of the Lord,
that he may be seated. Charles Spurgeon says about this
chapter that we've just read. In his earliest days, the Psalmist,
(03:42):
while keeping his father's flock, had devoted himself to the
study of God's two great books. God's two great books,
one being Nature and the other being Scripture. This chapter
we've just read describes those two books of God. One
the creation, God speaks to his works, the second his word.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
God speaks to his word.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
The first one is is that what it's called the
general Revelation.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
It's it's found in the handy works of God.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Great is I faithfulness, seeing His faithfulness in the stars
and the moon, and the and the sun and the shine,
and the mountains and the rivers. Those are things we
have in Colorado that maybe you haven't seen yet. The
beauty of God's nature speaks about his handiwork. It reveals
the things of God. And David, as a young man,
(04:31):
he understood these these two books. And I want to
encourage you to live in these two books to appreciate
what God has created around you. Oftentimes I look at
my hand and I just go, that's a miracle. It
moves my brain says something and it does it, and
I just look at that and go like, that's a miracle.
It's wonderful what God has has done. And I don't
(04:51):
even have the best looking hand in the world, but
but just the sea, what God has has done in creation.
I have four children, nine grandchildren. To hold the baby
in your hands, beauty of God's creation. He speaks through
these things, but he also speaks more importantly through his.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Word, through scripture, through the Word of God.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
David looks at these books and he remembers these things
that were really in his heart from his birth. He
says in psalmone thirty nine, verse thirteen, You formed me
in my inward parts, you knitted me together in my
mother's womb. I praise you for I am fearfully and
wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works. There's the first thing
he did. He shows his beauty and the works that
(05:36):
He's done around and my soul knows you very well.
He knew God from the time he was born. Just
as a baby, he knew the things of God, probably
from his family and from others around him. But it
wasn't just as a baby. As a young man, he
grew up in the things of the Lord. First Samuel,
chapter thirteen, verse fourteen says the Lord sought out a
man after.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
His own heart.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
And this is when Samuel was looking for a new king,
after King Saul had failed the test of the Lord,
so to speak, and he's looking for a new king.
And little David, the youngest of all his brothers, wasn't
even part of the selection committee, the one who could
possibly be selected. And Samuel says, there has to be
another brother in God, says Tom, there's one who's been
(06:19):
seeking after my heart. A little boy out in the wilderness,
out in the forests, out in the fields, tending sheep.
He's been seeking after my heart. He's been looking at
these two books, and I have chosen him. He had
a great hunger for the things of the Lord when
he became When he became king, he had access. Historians
(06:42):
tell us he had access to these books, the first
five books of Moses called the Torah. He had the
Book of Joshua, the Book of judges, and he also
had the book of the Book, the Books of Samuel,
and so.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
He could study these books.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
As a matter of fact, dudround Me seventeen, verse eighteen
through twenty says, there's a commandment given to kings that
when they become kings, they are to take the scriptures
and write them in their own book. And then there
are to take that book and meditate it on day
and night. They are not to leave that book behind.
Everywhere they go, they are to bring that book with them.
So there's something about King David. This heart after God continues.
(07:17):
It wasn't just a heart of singing, wasn't just a
heart of praise, although those are good. But he had
a heart for the book. He was a man of
the book. He carried that book with him. Saw I'm
sixteen eight says this, I have set before me. I
have set before me the Lord, because he is always
at my right hand. Now, how do it make sense
(07:38):
of that? Well, the rabbitical teachings of the Old Testaments
tell us that what the kings would do when they
wrote in that little book, some of the different testimonies
of the lords, some of the writings of Moses, they
would put it in a book, and then they would
tie that into their right hand, and they would have
that book, and they would carry that book, not just
carrying a book around with them, but even when they
were dancing or singing, or rule or reigning, whatever they
(08:01):
were doing, they had that book tied to their right hand.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
It was dear to them.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
They loved this book. The Kings of the Old Testament,
most of them loved this book. And David loved it
with all of his heart. And then when he was
an old man, First Kings, chapter two, verse one through
four says this about him. On his deathbed, he called
his young son Solomon. He said this to him, I
am about to go the way of all the earth.
Keep the charge of the Lord your God, walking in
(08:28):
his ways and keeping his statues, keeping his commandments, keeping
his rules, and keeping his testimony.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And it will go well with you and all of
your children after you.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
David was born with a hunger for the word of God,
grew up in a place where he desired the word
of God, became a king, and carried the word of
God with him everywhere he went.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
And we was a old man about to die. What
was on his heart?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
My son dig in to this word, growing this word,
get to know this word, be hungry for this word,
be consumed for this word. Let this passion for the
Word of God become the highest pursuit.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Of your life.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
More than ruling over a kingdom, more than singing songs,
more than than reigning, and more than anything else in
your life. Have a hunger for the Word of God.
This generation and the church that we're living in today
needs a revival of the Word of God. We need
to see the word of God proclaimed, preach, taught, sung,
(09:26):
the Word of God becoming tied to our right hand,
that we would say, God, I want to hunger, to
be fresh again, and the love for your word. Give
me a love for your word. David speaks about these
two different things, and then Psalm nineteen, verse one through six,
we see him talking about this first book, the book
(09:46):
of Nature, the book of Creation, the book of general revelation.
Then from seven through nine we see speaking about specific revelation.
God has spoken in these last days through the Word,
through his Son, who is the Word, and he has
speaking to us now not just through creation, but he's
speaking through us through his Word.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
In the first six verses, David speaks.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
About God, and he uses the word when he uses
the word God, there he uses the word L e
l And what he means by that is sovereign one,
omnipotent one.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
He sees him as a king almost.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
High, ruling and reigning with power and majesty and might
and splendor. But then when he begins to speak about
his word in verse seven, the Law of the Lord,
he changed his language and in this word Lord in
English would be translated or in the Hebrew would be Yahweh.
And so he moves from l God of power and
(10:42):
might and majesty to eloheim or to Yahweh, to the
more personal. In other words, I can know something about
your power in creation around me. But when I really
want to know you as a friend speaks to a
friend and has a son to a father, then you're
(11:02):
my Yahweh.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
That's that's where you speak life into my heart.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
And I want to take just a few moments with you,
in the time I have with you, to to break
these two books down and see where you're at with
this hunger for the Word of the Lord.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Verse one, the heavens declare the glory of.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
God, and and and the sky proclaims this handy work.
The word heaven there speaks of the realms, or or
or the or the sky. Or in its original root,
it means to be lofty or the lofty realms.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
And it says here that the heavens.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Declare the glory of God, the lofty realms, the things
we see when you look out at nature, when you
look between the buildings and the skyscrapers in New York,
you see a little bit of cloud, You see a
little bit of sunshine. You see sometimes some stars, possibly
even at night. That's the handy work of God. And
and and it's in the realm and the and it
says here the word declare, the heavens declare a strange word.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
The heavens actually speak something to you.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
The clouds in the sky, the stars at night, the
lightning bolts, the thunderstorms, they speak something to you. And
this word declared is often translated as a scribe, somebody
who would write something, would write something into our mind,
into our heart, into our understanding. It means to announce
or to inscribe, or it can literally mean to preach.
The sky preaches to us, The clouds preach to us,
(12:24):
the moon preaches to us. The sun and its orbit
preaches to us, and it tells us something amazing. The
heavens don't declare the heavens. The heavens don't say, aren't
we a pretty heaven? Aren't the stars shining so bright
at night? Deep in the heart of Texas. Now there's
something more that the Word is trying to say to us.
(12:46):
And look what it says here. The heavens declare. What's
the next few words, the glory of God, hallelujah. The
heavens aren't declaring their own beauty, magesty, or splendor. And
that's where a lot of people fall short of understanding
the glory of God and the Word of God, because
they're looking just to creation.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I worship nature.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I go out into the woods and into the trees
or into Central Park, and I just commune with the
frogs and the birds, and the birds sing me songs
and it's glorious. No, every bird that sings the singing
the glory of God. Every tree that branches its flowers
is proclaiming the word of God. God is God is
to be glorified. God is the one they're preaching about.
(13:26):
God is the one they're singing about. God is the
one that ducks are quacking about, that it is God
in all of nature he's wanting to speak to us,
and that heavens are declaring it.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
It's a powerful word. It's not a light word like
we're kind of speaking a little bit to you.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
No, it's a word like a preacher that preaches with fire,
a fire shut up in our bones. But oftentimes people
don't listen to this voice. They don't listen to this majesty.
And so that's why Romans one twenty talks about even
though the divine nature and the things that are seen
of God's character are seen in nature, people suppress that truth.
(14:07):
So everybody in their right mind, in a clear understanding,
without rebellion and the sin nature in the heart, we'd
look at the things that God created and would bow
down in honor and majesty and worship him.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
But because of the sin.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Nature, the fallen nature of man, we've rebuiled against God,
and we don't want a ruler in our life. We
want to live an independent life, and therefore we don't
receive the glory of God being preached from creation around us.
But God doesn't give up. Verse two says day today
pours out. First verse, he's declaring his glory. Now he's
(14:41):
starting to pour it out. Are you going to see
my glory? Are you going to see windstorms? Are you
going to see volcanoes? Are you going to see the.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Psalms? Cause it the terrors of the Lord.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
They that go down into the sea and do business
in great ships. These see the works of the Lord,
that the powerful, majestic works of the Lord.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
And this is what he's doing now.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
He's pouring forth speech and night and day reveals what
the knowledge of God, God is wanting to God loves
to speak to you. Did you know that God loves
to speak to people in New York City, even those
who are hardened and heart and death in ears.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
He wants to speak his word. He wants to.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Show his glory and his majesty. And he's saying this
in verses one and two put together. He uses the
word declaring, which is preaching. He uses the word proclaiming,
which is letting others know. He uses the word pouring
out speech, which is a fountain that's flowing. And he
uses a revealing of his knowledge. He's revealing things even
(15:44):
just in nature. Let alone, what we're about to study
in the word. Part of this, the preacher reveals and
proclaims day and night. It's twenty four hours. I won't
preach that long here tonight, but can you imagine day
and night. Speech pours forth. Knowledge of God pours forth
day and night. It is unceasing twenty four to seven,
(16:05):
three hundred and sixty five days a year, every year,
calendar year, since the beginning creation of time. God has
done this, this one thing. I want to be known.
I want to speak. I want you to know me.
I want you to know me well. I want you
to study me. I want you to be close to me.
I want you to be near to me. I want
to be dear to you. I want to let you
know who I am, what I'm like. That's what God
(16:26):
loves to do. Twenty four to seven. He does these
things Verse three.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
There is no speech.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
There are no words whose voice is not heard. In
other words, there's no place where God's word is not heard.
There are only missionaries in certain countries. There are some countries.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
One country.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
When my missions director at World Challenge told me recently
that just to own a Bible there is a death
sentence if they find you have a Bible even on
your phone, your phone device, or you're trying to hide
it in there and to find an app Bible app,
they will.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Literally behead you.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
And there are some countries where the word of God
is not preached in spoken form. But you know what,
every country in the world has this speech being revealed
to it. The knowledge of God is being known. It's
not only twenty four to seven, but it's everywhere. There's
no speech, there are no words. Whose voice is not heard.
In other words, there's nowhere word. This is not being heard.
(17:21):
Nobody is Roman says, we're all without excuse, because even
Creation has spoken to us about the good things of God.
The literal Hebrew translation of this is a little bit different.
It's basically like this, no speech period, no words period.
(17:41):
Their voice is not heard period. Speaking of a different
way saying right now, in creation, you're seeing things, you're
catching drift of things, you're understanding some things.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
But it's not.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Quite the voice yet. It's not quite the speech yet,
it's not quite being the word being heard. It's a hint,
even David writing several thousand years before Christ is born,
there is a hint here of something to come, a
word to come a voice to come, not John the Baptist,
the voice in the wilderness, but the voice of Jesus
(18:15):
Christ in.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
These last days.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Hebrew says he speaks through this son, and David was
aware of this. He's speaking in the beauty when I'm
in the shepherd in the fields. He speaks through his
beauty's speaking twenty four to seven. He's speaking to the
whole world. But there's another voice coming. There's another one coming,
and that's going to be the most profound voice of all.
Right now, there's really no speech, not hearing words.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
It's not God saying look at the stars that means
I'm alive. He's not speaking literally like that in these times.
In those times, there's no speech, no words where their
voice is heard. But God is speaking then through a
different way. The voice goes out verse four. Their voice
goes out through all of the earth, their words to
the end of the earth.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
There's this word.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
The voice could speak about a different word too, and
the hebret it means the line a line of God
goes forth. It's from the beginning, line upon line, precept
upon precept. God is teaching us his word even through
creation around us. Now all of a sudden, there's a
shift here, and this is now I was going to
get really good. Thanks for bearing with me so far,
all right, But now I'm going to get into the Word. Now,
(19:23):
I'm getting into the stuff that I really love. Now
I'm getting into the stuff that like to some degree,
like King David. From the time I was fifteen years old,
I got a milk crate filled it with two different Bibles,
three different manuals about studying the Word of God, and
I would go out to the woods behind my house
and I would I quit watching TV, I quit playing
sports with my friends, and I went out into those
(19:44):
woods and I just studied the Word of God two, three, four,
sometimes five hours till it was dark at night. And
I had from the time I was thirteen, fourteen, fifteen
years old. I'd have to call it a desperate hunger
for the Word of God. It's like I would read
this and I'd go like that was good, But I
want more, you know, give me more, Jesus, give me
more of you.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
A hunger for the Word of God.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
And so I'm thankful for what He's teaching us in creation,
aren't you.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
But I want to talk about the second part.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Here he talks about the sun as a part of creation,
and he says here verse five, which the sun comes
out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and like a
strong man it runs its course.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Verse six.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
It's rising is from the ends of the heaven and
his circuits to the end of them, and there is
nothing hidden from its heat. In other words, God's bringing
the heat, and we're about to see something here in
transition in the Psalms, here when David just begins to
stop speaking about creation, but the last thing he says
about creation, he begins to speak not about the universe
(20:47):
and whole, but just our son, independently our son, and
he uses the word here it goes in its circuit.
And many scholars for a long long time looked at
that verse and said, you know, this is evidence that
the Bible isn't accurate or true. Scientist generations go would say,
you know, because how foolish they think the earth circuits.
Excuse me, the Sun circuits around the Earth, and we
(21:08):
all know that the Sun doesn't move. It's not the
Earth is in status and the Sun is not rotating
around it. So they despise the scripture because they thought
this was an inaccurate thing until scientists started discovering later
on that the Earth the Sun actually is moving. Did
you know that the Sun is actually moving? The Sun
moves around to orbit around our Milky Way. The Earth
(21:31):
orbits around the Sun at sixty seven thousand miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
That's pretty fast.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
But the Sun, with the Earth and all the other
planets and moons in its gravity, travels around the Milky
Way at one hundred and thirty seven miles per second,
which is five hundred thousand miles per hour, half half
a million miles an hour. If you were to take
a taxi in New York City or get on a
(21:56):
subway and it was going twenty or thirty miles an hour,
all of a sudden he accelerated was going forty or
fifty or sixty, or that train started going eighty or
one hundred and it got up to one hundred and twenty.
You'd be screaming your head off, wouldn't you. And many
of you have already experienced that multiple of times. But
at one hundred and twenty miles per hour, multiply that
by four one hundred and sixty six times, and you
(22:18):
have how fast the Sun is traveling around the Milky
Way galaxy.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Are you getting dizzy yet? Next?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Our whole Milky Way and the Earth with it is
traveling at sixty seven thousand miles around the Sun. Or
while that's going travel well, we're traveling around the Sun.
The Sun's traveling around the Milky Way. Together, the Sun
and the planets are traveling at twenty five miles per
second around a cluster of galaxies called the Local Group.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Is a fun scientific name, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
You know? New one have these names you can't pronounce.
I kind of like this one. The Local Group is
the closest cluster of galaxies, and the Local Group are
our Sun and galaxy. The Milky Way is traveling around
the Local Group at three hundred and seventy five miles
per second towards the Virgo cluster, which is forty five
million light years away. You are not standing still right now.
(23:10):
You are traveling fast. And God was accurate in scriptures
even before the scientists knew this, That the Sun is
moving around in a circuit. That is God speaking about
who he is. That is God speaking about his goodness.
That is God understanding things we could never understand. In
its fullness, and now here's this marvelous shift. David is
(23:33):
marveling at the wonders of the sun and the stars,
and the mountains and the rivers. But he says, all
these things pale. They're minuscule in comparison to the greater
light of the glory of God that's found in the
Word of God. The sun, in his most brilliant shine,
does not shine like this book does. The speed of
(23:53):
travel that which we see in the universe has nothing
to do with the speed of power of God working
in your.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Life through his words.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
And I pray that my sermon today, my message tonight,
would be one if you don't remember anything I say,
there'll be some strange inkling in your heart to say, God,
give me a hunger for your word. Put a fresh
fire in my heart, that I would meditate on this
book day and night, that I would maybe take some
time to turn the TV off, or just stay up
(24:21):
a little bit later, or wake up a little bit sooner.
Give me a craving hunger. If you're hungry for it,
you'll make time. If you're hungry for it, you'll find time.
If you thirst for it, you find the refrigerator. And
we can find the Word of God being alive to us.
Verse seven through eleven begins to and I'll move along quickly.
Verse seven through through nine excuse me, begins to speak about.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
The Word of God.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
And everything I've said up to this point is introduction,
so you're ready to get into it now. The Word
of God is just three simple verses seventy eight to nine,
But six times in these three verses it says this
of the Lord, of the Lord, of the Lord, the
Word of the Lord, of the Lord of the Lord.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
You know what David is trying to say.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
These things are of God, the Word of God, the
perfections of God, the statutes of God, the laws of God,
the rules of God. These are things of God. These
are God's things. The word there is Yahweh. These are
of Yahweh. Yahweh loves his word. Yahwais says his word
is perfect. Yahways says his word is true. He always
said his word is sure. He always says his word
is right. He always said his word is clean. Yahways
(25:23):
said his Lord, his word is perfect. And Yahweh goes
on to say, not only is it perfect and sure
and right and pure and clean, but it revives the soul,
It makes wise people who are simple. It causes a
rejoicing of our heart. It lightens our eyes when we're
in darkness. It causes endurance in our life when we're struggling,
we feel down and out. It makes us righteous. It
(25:46):
makes us live with a hunger and the righteousness. So
six descriptive words law, Testament, precepts, commandments, fear of the Lord,
and rule. And there are six things that these things
have within them, being perfect, being sure, being right, being pure,
being clean, being true. And these are the six things
that God does. As a result of these laws that
are perfect and these testimonies that are sure. He's reviving us.
(26:10):
He's making us wise. He's causing our hearts to rejoice.
He's causing our eyes to light up with joy and life.
And he's causing endurance and making us righteous in the
things of God. The law of the Lord is perfect.
It's perfect. And what does this perfection do? It revives
it restores you. If you're looking to be revived and restored,
(26:31):
I suggest to you the best way is not the
local cinema. And I certainly would not suggest to you
the local bar. I would not suggest to you even
a vacation. I would not suggest to you anything other
than what God says himself, the reviving of the soul,
or the wakening of the soul, or the turning back
(26:54):
to the fire and passionate from God. The perfect way
to find that, the complete way to find that is
in the Torah, the Law of the Lord, the first
five books of the Word. And so if you'll study
the Word of God, your soul will be revived. And
many of us in the world today are looking for
worldly answers to a spiritual problem. We're trying to find
(27:14):
some way to get revived in our heart and our mind.
And when we can't find it, we just look for
something new, the next thing down the road. But God
is saying, I have something perfect for you. There's not
many offers in the world today that show you something's perfect.
I know, the guy says, there's perfect slippers, and there's
the perfect blanket, but there's not The perfect thing is
(27:37):
in the Law of the Lord that he has for
you day and night. The second thing he says is
his testimony of the Lord is sure making wise the simple.
If you find wisdom to be a problem, you don't
know how to descern who should I marry? What kind
of job should I have?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
How should I.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Raise my kids? You get concerned. There's something simple about
all of us. We just don't know what the best
decision is in our life. God has a solution for you,
and the solution is not just a nice solution compared
to other solutions. This the Bible says, this solution is sure.
In other words, you could say, in our matter in
vernocular vernacular, it's a sure thing, not offer very often
(28:17):
a sure thing.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
God's saying, this is a short thing. What is it?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
It's my testimony, my testimony. The testimony is different than
the law. The law is like the five books of
the Torah of Moses and other scriptures. But this is
God speaking who he is. He said to Moses, I
am that I am. This is my testimony, And he
has a testimony about himself, and that testimony is inscribed
in the scripture. Yes it's in creation, but it's more
(28:41):
clear in his word.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
He tells you who he is.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
He's the most important person in your life, The most
important being is him, and he has described himself in
this book. And that's why David says, I'm meditated on
a day and night I hunger and thirst for these words.
These words were life to me. One of the prophet says,
the words were found, and I ate them, and.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I ate them.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
They just got into my soul and they became a
joy to me. You don't have to say it, but I'll
say hallelujah right there for myself to say. The precepts
The third thing, the precepts of the Lord are right.
Rejoicing the soul. How many of you want to have
a rejoicing soul? You know you want you just want
to rejoice. I just I just wish I could get happy.
Maybe I need to see a counselor maybe I maybe
(29:23):
I need to take a pill. I'm depressed all the time.
I don't know how to get joy back in my soul.
I've lost the joy, I've lost the spark, I've lost
the fire. God has a solution for you, and he
says it's in his word. It's the right way to go.
He says, the precepts of the Lord are right. You
can't go wrong with the word of the Lord. Study
it day and night, dig into it, memorize it, get
to know it, and you will live a right life.
(29:45):
You'll see things turn out right in your life. These
are the precepts. The precept is a guiding principle. Some
organizations have guiding principles. We're going to be doing team work,
or we're going to have good order, or we're going
to be compassionate as people. We have these are called
guiding principles of a company. Interesting, God has his own
guiding principles, and they are called precepts. That's what the
(30:07):
Hebrew word for precept means. How He guides us. These
are principles to live your life by, and that is
what causes you. When you live by these precepts, they're
right for you, and it will cause a rejoicing in
your heart. Anybody rejoicing tonight. If you're not rejoicing tonight,
I have the prescription for you. I have the remedy
for it. It's right in this book. Dig into it
and you'll find rejoicing of the soul forth as we
(30:29):
move on quickly. The commandments another way of saying things.
The commandments of the Lord are pure. They enlighten the eyes.
If everything around you seems dark and dreary, if you
feel down and out, if you feel the world is
a traumatic place, if you feel depressed by everything you're
seeing around you, and your eyes have kind of grown
(30:52):
dim in a sense of maybe from my childhood trauma,
or maybe you want to turn on the news. I
just want to close my eyes. Everything around me seems
dark and depressing and weary.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I'm fed up with it. I don't want to hear.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Another portion of bad news. And God says I have
a remedy for that, because he says, here, I can
lighten your eyes again. In other words, put the spark
back in you. Put the fire of God back in you.
The prophet Jeremiah was weary of all the things were
going on in the world. He saw the trauma and
the heartache, and the brokenness and the rebellion towards God
(31:28):
and the sexual immorality of his day, and he says,
I'm giving up. I don't want to preach ever again.
But he says, oh, but there was a fire shut
up in my bones and I could not contain it.
I have to preach the word of God. And you
can have that fire that lights up your eyes once again.
You can become in other words, brilliant, brilliant, a flame
in your eyes with a passion for Jesus, where people
(31:51):
notice there's something different about you.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
What is it about you that it's this? You're on
fire for God.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
And when you get on fire for God, John Wesley
said it so well, people will come to watch you burn.
People will see that fire in your life. And God
says it's pure. His commands are pure. They're not mixed,
they're not adulterated, they're not deluded. They are pure words
from God's throne, moving quickly. Five, we've got five and
six to go.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
If you want endurance, got a spark in your eye,
you got joy back in your heart.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
You're feeling good. How many have you been there before?
Speaker 1 (32:29):
But you've also got off the mountain back into the valley,
and you've been up and then and you've been down.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
You've been up and down.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Look at this promise now enduring forever, a constant endurance
in the things. He's already just promised that his word
would deliver joy in the Lord, fire in your life,
eyes brilliant with the Lord, Purity, cleanliness, godliness. These are
promises of God. And he says these promises will endure forever.
Why because they are clean they are clean. These are
(32:56):
promises of God. And where do they come from. Where
does this clean promise of enduring and righteousness and holiness forever?
It comes in the fear of the Lord. That's what
David says in this verse here, verse nine.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
The fear of the Lord.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
It doesn't seem to mix, does it, the fear of
the Lord with being clean. It seems like fear of
the Lord, trembling, fear of the Lord, repentance, fear of
the Lord, sorrow. But it's fear of the Lord and
a clean heart. It's the fear of the Lord that
brings the clean heart. I remember in Abraham when he
went into Egypt and he was afraid they were going
to kill him because they were lusting after his wife.
And what he says in Genesis twenty, verse eleven, says,
(33:35):
because there is no fear of God in this place,
they will kill me. Lawlessness that we're seeing in our
culture today, the rebellion against the things of God and
even the simple laws of our land, they come because
there's no fear of the Lord, and there's no fear
of the Lord.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
There's no clean living any longer.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
And we can legislate it all we want, and we
can preach against all we want, But until there's the
fear of the Lord, no one around us will live
a clean life. And our cities won't be clean, our
schools won't be clean, and our government won't be clean.
And the White House won't be clean, the Supreme Court
won't be clean. Nothing will be clean unless we get
back to the fear of the Lord. Unless we have
a revival once again and say God, we have turned
from your statues, we have turned from your ways.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
And we're coming back to you now.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
And as I get ready to close here one last verse,
we want to look at the rules of the Lord
are true and righteous all together. The promise here is
to be righteous altogether, not partly righteous, not I'm doing
pretty good and I pray a little bit and I
read a little bit, but I'm also kind of stuck
in pornography, or you know. I stop drinking now and
(34:44):
I'm really doing good on that, but I'm still screaming
and yelling.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
At my kids.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
This promise is powerful, that the Word of God gives
the ability to be all together righteous. The Bible says,
wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his ways from unrighteousness.
How can a young man clean his ways by taking
heed to the word of God. This book has precious
promises for you. If we will find it out, we
can be righteous together and living in the truth. The righteous,
(35:12):
being righteous altogether comes because God has rules. The Hebrew
word here speaks of household rules. How many of you
fathers or mothers have rules in your household? Don't take
your shoes off and stand on the table while you're
eating spaghetti.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
That's a rule in my house. As I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
I'm not going to tell you why we had to
set that rule up, but it was one of the
rules as my kids were growing up. So if these
are the household rules of God, these are the manners
or customs of a community. And God is saying that
if you want to be righteous altogether, there are certain
rules and my rules. And here's the final thing I'll
say to you. But the Word of God is truth.
(35:48):
We live in a culture where truth is all considered relative.
Oprah Winfrey asks almost every one of her guests, tell
me your truth. I want to throw a book.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
At the TV.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
I want to throw my bible. Don't throw my bible around,
but I will throw it. There's no such thing as
your truth. Your truth could tell you you're a woman
trapped in a man's body. Your truth could tell you
all kinds of stuff. Marry this person, go to this place,
Divorce your wife. She's no good for you. Your truth can
tell you all kinds of things.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
It's emotional. I feel, I feel.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
And there's no absolute truth anymore unless we return as
a nation to the word of God, and not.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
And not just as a.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Nation turning back to the Word of God, but preachers
turning back to the Word of God. I am. I'm
so glad the Word of God has preached faithfully here.
I've heard some of the sermons here of the Word
of God has preached faithfully. And some of you have
been here so long you don't know what it's like
around the world today. Such foolishness from this pulpit. At best,
the Word of God is maybe they read one verse,
(36:55):
close the book and start telling dreams and visions they've
had about the money they're going to make, or or
stories and clever, humorous forms of entertainment, and the Word
of God is not being preached. And that's why I've determined.
You've probably noticed it tonight. I determined the past few
years that the American Church and where we do these pastors' conferences,
(37:17):
need to return to the preaching of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
And I tell you what.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
I used to want to preach good and I used
to want to get applause, and I used to want
to walk off stage and say, I think that was
a really hot sermon. But now what the Lord is
teaching me. So Garrett, when you get up there, you
stand up there and you put your finger in the book,
and you go verse by verse and line by line,
and truth by truth you preach. You tell your people,
look look at this, look at this thing. Don't look
(37:46):
at me, don't.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Look at this.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Look at this book, look into it. And I heard
no old preacher say one time, you put your finger
in that book and you go down line by line,
and when that hand gets tired, it's okay, go ahead
and put it in your pocket, and then get out
your other finger and go look at the book. Look,
look at the book. Look at the book. I want
to encourage you to look at the book. Stand with
you if you would. I want to pray for you. Pastor
Tim you're coming back I want to pray for you, Father,
(38:10):
right now. Your Holy Spirit quickens the Word of God.
It's not just bootstrapping it and saying I'll try hard
to read the Bible. Lord, it's your Holy Spirit that
makes the Word alive to us. It illuminates it. And
so I asked the Holy Spirit to come.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
We haven't really talked about the Holy Spirit in this message.
We talked about the Word of God. It's because the
Holy Spirit makes the Word of God known. He doesn't
just make visions and dreams known. He makes the Word
of God known, the words of Jesus, the words of life.
And so, Father, I'm asking for the Holy Spirit right
now to fill many, many hearts in this place with
a fresh hunger for the Word of God. I pray
(38:49):
that this is so vibrant and alive to them they
can't wait to leave this building, to get home and
open up the book and ask you to say, Lord,
put your finger in this for me and tell me
to look look at this. Let it come alive. Let
it be life to me. Let it be joy. Let
it alive in my eyes. Let it rejoice my heart.
Let it make me clean, Let it make me pure,
(39:10):
Let it make me true, but I would know the
truth and be able to walk there in it. And
I won't be deceived by false teachings that prop up
in the church time and time again. But I'll be
walking in truth. I thank you for your truth. I
thank you for your purity. I thank you for your cleansing,
and I thank you for that we can be righteous
altogether when we just say this is our word, we
love it.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
We love you, we love the Word of God, we
love the God of the Word.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
We give thanks for this in Jesus' name, And everybody
said Amen, Amen, God, bless you all. Thank you letting
me be with you and share in the Word of God.
Pasted with ten paronel thanks to appreciate it. Allo luia.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Come on, we thank Pastor Gary one more time, just
for that word. Time
Turn with me to your scriptures Psalm chapter nineteen, the
Book of Psalm, chapter nineteen. As a matter of fact,
if you don't mind, just if you have your Bible
in your hand or your device that has your Bible
on it, if you don't mind standing and just holding
that word in front of you, and we're just going
to pray over the Word of God. If you have
a great love for God's word, you are going to
love what you hear tonight. If you don't necessarily have
(00:23):
that burning passionate, zealous ambition, hunger in your heart for
the Word of God, I kind of think God's going
to do a miracle tonight and give that to you.
If you've had it and you're missing it now a
little bit, it's waned. It's not that you've gotten luke warm,
but just the things of your heart. The busyness of
schedule has caused this to diminish in that zeal for
(00:45):
the things of the Lord, the Word of the Lord,
the scripture. Then we pray that tonight would be a
rekindling of that fire for the Word of God in
your heart. Father, I pray right now over the Word
to pray that your word would come alive that it
is that sharp two edged sword. And so I'm just
asking you to deliver what comes from your word.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Lord.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
This should be easy for me if I'm not trying
to make things up.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
It's just the delivery of your word. And I thank
you for your word.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Going forth tonight in Jesus name, and remain standing if
you would, we're going to read the whole chapter of
the nineteenth Psalm. I want to encourage you and warn you.
Sometimes when we read scriptures, particularly a long passage of scripture,
we kind of want the preacher to get onto the
commentary about it. But I want to tell you tonight
the commentary about it is not important as the word
(01:35):
of God itself. The most important thing I will do
in your presence tonight is these next few minutes as
I read these verses.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
So don't drift off. Just look at this and.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Say, this is the word of the Lord. Psalm nineteen
to the choir master, the Psalm of David's the David,
the heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky
above proclaims his handiwork day to day pours forth speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech
(02:10):
there are no words whose voice is not heard. Their
voice goes through all the earth, and their words to
the ends of the world. In them, he has sent
set a tent for the sun, which comes out like
a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and a strong man runs
its courts it with joy. Its rising is from the
(02:32):
ends of the heavens, and its circuit is to the
ends of them, And there is nothing hidden from his heat.
The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul.
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart.
The commandments of the Lord are pure, enlightening the heart.
The fear of the Lord is clean and enduring forever.
The rules of the Lord are true and righteous.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
All together.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
More to be desired are they than gold, even much
more than five gold. Sweeter also than honey, and the
drippings of the honeycomb. More over than by as your
servant warned, in keeping them or there is great reward.
Who can discern as errors. Declare me innocent from hidden faults,
Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Let them not have dominion over me.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Then I shall be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of
my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my
Rock and my Redeemer. This is the word of the Lord,
that he may be seated. Charles Spurgeon says about this
chapter that we've just read. In his earliest days, the Psalmist,
(03:42):
while keeping his father's flock, had devoted himself to the
study of God's two great books. God's two great books,
one being Nature and the other being Scripture. This chapter
we've just read describes those two books of God. One
the creation, God speaks to his works, the second his word.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
God speaks to his word.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
The first one is is that what it's called the
general Revelation.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
It's it's found in the handy works of God.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Great is I faithfulness, seeing His faithfulness in the stars
and the moon, and the and the sun and the shine,
and the mountains and the rivers. Those are things we
have in Colorado that maybe you haven't seen yet. The
beauty of God's nature speaks about his handiwork. It reveals
the things of God. And David, as a young man,
(04:31):
he understood these these two books. And I want to
encourage you to live in these two books to appreciate
what God has created around you. Oftentimes I look at
my hand and I just go, that's a miracle. It
moves my brain says something and it does it, and
I just look at that and go like, that's a miracle.
It's wonderful what God has has done. And I don't
(04:51):
even have the best looking hand in the world, but
but just the sea, what God has has done in creation.
I have four children, nine grandchildren. To hold the baby
in your hands, beauty of God's creation. He speaks through
these things, but he also speaks more importantly through his.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Word, through scripture, through the Word of God.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
David looks at these books and he remembers these things
that were really in his heart from his birth. He
says in psalmone thirty nine, verse thirteen, You formed me
in my inward parts, you knitted me together in my
mother's womb. I praise you for I am fearfully and
wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works. There's the first thing
he did. He shows his beauty and the works that
(05:36):
He's done around and my soul knows you very well.
He knew God from the time he was born. Just
as a baby, he knew the things of God, probably
from his family and from others around him. But it
wasn't just as a baby. As a young man, he
grew up in the things of the Lord. First Samuel,
chapter thirteen, verse fourteen says the Lord sought out a
man after.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
His own heart.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
And this is when Samuel was looking for a new king,
after King Saul had failed the test of the Lord,
so to speak, and he's looking for a new king.
And little David, the youngest of all his brothers, wasn't
even part of the selection committee, the one who could
possibly be selected. And Samuel says, there has to be
another brother in God, says Tom, there's one who's been
(06:19):
seeking after my heart. A little boy out in the wilderness,
out in the forests, out in the fields, tending sheep.
He's been seeking after my heart. He's been looking at
these two books, and I have chosen him. He had
a great hunger for the things of the Lord when
he became When he became king, he had access. Historians
(06:42):
tell us he had access to these books, the first
five books of Moses called the Torah. He had the
Book of Joshua, the Book of judges, and he also
had the book of the Book, the Books of Samuel,
and so.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
He could study these books.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
As a matter of fact, dudround Me seventeen, verse eighteen
through twenty says, there's a commandment given to kings that
when they become kings, they are to take the scriptures
and write them in their own book. And then there
are to take that book and meditate it on day
and night. They are not to leave that book behind.
Everywhere they go, they are to bring that book with them.
So there's something about King David. This heart after God continues.
(07:17):
It wasn't just a heart of singing, wasn't just a
heart of praise, although those are good. But he had
a heart for the book. He was a man of
the book. He carried that book with him. Saw I'm
sixteen eight says this, I have set before me. I
have set before me the Lord, because he is always
at my right hand. Now, how do it make sense
(07:38):
of that? Well, the rabbitical teachings of the Old Testaments
tell us that what the kings would do when they
wrote in that little book, some of the different testimonies
of the lords, some of the writings of Moses, they
would put it in a book, and then they would
tie that into their right hand, and they would have
that book, and they would carry that book, not just
carrying a book around with them, but even when they
were dancing or singing, or rule or reigning, whatever they
(08:01):
were doing, they had that book tied to their right hand.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
It was dear to them.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
They loved this book. The Kings of the Old Testament,
most of them loved this book. And David loved it
with all of his heart. And then when he was
an old man, First Kings, chapter two, verse one through
four says this about him. On his deathbed, he called
his young son Solomon. He said this to him, I
am about to go the way of all the earth.
Keep the charge of the Lord your God, walking in
(08:28):
his ways and keeping his statues, keeping his commandments, keeping
his rules, and keeping his testimony.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And it will go well with you and all of
your children after you.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
David was born with a hunger for the word of God,
grew up in a place where he desired the word
of God, became a king, and carried the word of
God with him everywhere he went.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
And we was a old man about to die. What
was on his heart?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
My son dig in to this word, growing this word,
get to know this word, be hungry for this word,
be consumed for this word. Let this passion for the
Word of God become the highest pursuit.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Of your life.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
More than ruling over a kingdom, more than singing songs,
more than than reigning, and more than anything else in
your life. Have a hunger for the Word of God.
This generation and the church that we're living in today
needs a revival of the Word of God. We need
to see the word of God proclaimed, preach, taught, sung,
(09:26):
the Word of God becoming tied to our right hand,
that we would say, God, I want to hunger, to
be fresh again, and the love for your word. Give
me a love for your word. David speaks about these
two different things, and then Psalm nineteen, verse one through six,
we see him talking about this first book, the book
(09:46):
of Nature, the book of Creation, the book of general revelation.
Then from seven through nine we see speaking about specific revelation.
God has spoken in these last days through the Word,
through his Son, who is the Word, and he has
speaking to us now not just through creation, but he's
speaking through us through his Word.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
In the first six verses, David speaks.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
About God, and he uses the word when he uses
the word God, there he uses the word L e
l And what he means by that is sovereign one,
omnipotent one.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
He sees him as a king almost.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
High, ruling and reigning with power and majesty and might
and splendor. But then when he begins to speak about
his word in verse seven, the Law of the Lord,
he changed his language and in this word Lord in
English would be translated or in the Hebrew would be Yahweh.
And so he moves from l God of power and
(10:42):
might and majesty to eloheim or to Yahweh, to the
more personal. In other words, I can know something about
your power in creation around me. But when I really
want to know you as a friend speaks to a
friend and has a son to a father, then you're
(11:02):
my Yahweh.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
That's that's where you speak life into my heart.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
And I want to take just a few moments with you,
in the time I have with you, to to break
these two books down and see where you're at with
this hunger for the Word of the Lord.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Verse one, the heavens declare the glory of.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
God, and and and the sky proclaims this handy work.
The word heaven there speaks of the realms, or or
or the or the sky. Or in its original root,
it means to be lofty or the lofty realms.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
And it says here that the heavens.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Declare the glory of God, the lofty realms, the things
we see when you look out at nature, when you
look between the buildings and the skyscrapers in New York,
you see a little bit of cloud, You see a
little bit of sunshine. You see sometimes some stars, possibly
even at night. That's the handy work of God. And
and and it's in the realm and the and it
says here the word declare, the heavens declare a strange word.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
The heavens actually speak something to you.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
The clouds in the sky, the stars at night, the
lightning bolts, the thunderstorms, they speak something to you. And
this word declared is often translated as a scribe, somebody
who would write something, would write something into our mind,
into our heart, into our understanding. It means to announce
or to inscribe, or it can literally mean to preach.
The sky preaches to us, The clouds preach to us,
(12:24):
the moon preaches to us. The sun and its orbit
preaches to us, and it tells us something amazing. The
heavens don't declare the heavens. The heavens don't say, aren't
we a pretty heaven? Aren't the stars shining so bright
at night? Deep in the heart of Texas. Now there's
something more that the Word is trying to say to us.
(12:46):
And look what it says here. The heavens declare. What's
the next few words, the glory of God, hallelujah. The
heavens aren't declaring their own beauty, magesty, or splendor. And
that's where a lot of people fall short of understanding
the glory of God and the Word of God, because
they're looking just to creation.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I worship nature.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I go out into the woods and into the trees
or into Central Park, and I just commune with the
frogs and the birds, and the birds sing me songs
and it's glorious. No, every bird that sings the singing
the glory of God. Every tree that branches its flowers
is proclaiming the word of God. God is God is
to be glorified. God is the one they're preaching about.
(13:26):
God is the one they're singing about. God is the
one that ducks are quacking about, that it is God
in all of nature he's wanting to speak to us,
and that heavens are declaring it.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
It's a powerful word. It's not a light word like
we're kind of speaking a little bit to you.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
No, it's a word like a preacher that preaches with fire,
a fire shut up in our bones. But oftentimes people
don't listen to this voice. They don't listen to this majesty.
And so that's why Romans one twenty talks about even
though the divine nature and the things that are seen
of God's character are seen in nature, people suppress that truth.
(14:07):
So everybody in their right mind, in a clear understanding,
without rebellion and the sin nature in the heart, we'd
look at the things that God created and would bow
down in honor and majesty and worship him.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
But because of the sin.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Nature, the fallen nature of man, we've rebuiled against God,
and we don't want a ruler in our life. We
want to live an independent life, and therefore we don't
receive the glory of God being preached from creation around us.
But God doesn't give up. Verse two says day today
pours out. First verse, he's declaring his glory. Now he's
(14:41):
starting to pour it out. Are you going to see
my glory? Are you going to see windstorms? Are you
going to see volcanoes? Are you going to see the.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Psalms? Cause it the terrors of the Lord.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
They that go down into the sea and do business
in great ships. These see the works of the Lord,
that the powerful, majestic works of the Lord.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
And this is what he's doing now.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
He's pouring forth speech and night and day reveals what
the knowledge of God, God is wanting to God loves
to speak to you. Did you know that God loves
to speak to people in New York City, even those
who are hardened and heart and death in ears.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
He wants to speak his word. He wants to.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Show his glory and his majesty. And he's saying this
in verses one and two put together. He uses the
word declaring, which is preaching. He uses the word proclaiming,
which is letting others know. He uses the word pouring
out speech, which is a fountain that's flowing. And he
uses a revealing of his knowledge. He's revealing things even
(15:44):
just in nature. Let alone, what we're about to study
in the word. Part of this, the preacher reveals and
proclaims day and night. It's twenty four hours. I won't
preach that long here tonight, but can you imagine day
and night. Speech pours forth. Knowledge of God pours forth
day and night. It is unceasing twenty four to seven,
(16:05):
three hundred and sixty five days a year, every year,
calendar year, since the beginning creation of time. God has
done this, this one thing. I want to be known.
I want to speak. I want you to know me.
I want you to know me well. I want you
to study me. I want you to be close to me.
I want you to be near to me. I want
to be dear to you. I want to let you
know who I am, what I'm like. That's what God
(16:26):
loves to do. Twenty four to seven. He does these
things Verse three.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
There is no speech.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
There are no words whose voice is not heard. In
other words, there's no place where God's word is not heard.
There are only missionaries in certain countries. There are some countries.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
One country.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
When my missions director at World Challenge told me recently
that just to own a Bible there is a death
sentence if they find you have a Bible even on
your phone, your phone device, or you're trying to hide
it in there and to find an app Bible app,
they will.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Literally behead you.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
And there are some countries where the word of God
is not preached in spoken form. But you know what,
every country in the world has this speech being revealed
to it. The knowledge of God is being known. It's
not only twenty four to seven, but it's everywhere. There's
no speech, there are no words. Whose voice is not heard.
In other words, there's nowhere word. This is not being heard.
(17:21):
Nobody is Roman says, we're all without excuse, because even
Creation has spoken to us about the good things of God.
The literal Hebrew translation of this is a little bit different.
It's basically like this, no speech period, no words period.
(17:41):
Their voice is not heard period. Speaking of a different
way saying right now, in creation, you're seeing things, you're
catching drift of things, you're understanding some things.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
But it's not.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Quite the voice yet. It's not quite the speech yet,
it's not quite being the word being heard. It's a hint,
even David writing several thousand years before Christ is born,
there is a hint here of something to come, a
word to come a voice to come, not John the Baptist,
the voice in the wilderness, but the voice of Jesus
(18:15):
Christ in.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
These last days.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Hebrew says he speaks through this son, and David was
aware of this. He's speaking in the beauty when I'm
in the shepherd in the fields. He speaks through his
beauty's speaking twenty four to seven. He's speaking to the
whole world. But there's another voice coming. There's another one coming,
and that's going to be the most profound voice of all.
Right now, there's really no speech, not hearing words.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
It's not God saying look at the stars that means
I'm alive. He's not speaking literally like that in these times.
In those times, there's no speech, no words where their
voice is heard. But God is speaking then through a
different way. The voice goes out verse four. Their voice
goes out through all of the earth, their words to
the end of the earth.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
There's this word.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
The voice could speak about a different word too, and
the hebret it means the line a line of God
goes forth. It's from the beginning, line upon line, precept
upon precept. God is teaching us his word even through
creation around us. Now all of a sudden, there's a
shift here, and this is now I was going to
get really good. Thanks for bearing with me so far,
all right, But now I'm going to get into the Word. Now,
(19:23):
I'm getting into the stuff that I really love. Now
I'm getting into the stuff that like to some degree,
like King David. From the time I was fifteen years old,
I got a milk crate filled it with two different Bibles,
three different manuals about studying the Word of God, and
I would go out to the woods behind my house
and I would I quit watching TV, I quit playing
sports with my friends, and I went out into those
(19:44):
woods and I just studied the Word of God two, three, four,
sometimes five hours till it was dark at night. And
I had from the time I was thirteen, fourteen, fifteen
years old. I'd have to call it a desperate hunger
for the Word of God. It's like I would read
this and I'd go like that was good, But I
want more, you know, give me more, Jesus, give me
more of you.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
A hunger for the Word of God.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
And so I'm thankful for what He's teaching us in creation,
aren't you.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
But I want to talk about the second part.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Here he talks about the sun as a part of creation,
and he says here verse five, which the sun comes
out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and like a
strong man it runs its course.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Verse six.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
It's rising is from the ends of the heaven and
his circuits to the end of them, and there is
nothing hidden from its heat. In other words, God's bringing
the heat, and we're about to see something here in
transition in the Psalms, here when David just begins to
stop speaking about creation, but the last thing he says
about creation, he begins to speak not about the universe
(20:47):
and whole, but just our son, independently our son, and
he uses the word here it goes in its circuit.
And many scholars for a long long time looked at
that verse and said, you know, this is evidence that
the Bible isn't accurate or true. Scientist generations go would say,
you know, because how foolish they think the earth circuits.
Excuse me, the Sun circuits around the Earth, and we
(21:08):
all know that the Sun doesn't move. It's not the
Earth is in status and the Sun is not rotating
around it. So they despise the scripture because they thought
this was an inaccurate thing until scientists started discovering later
on that the Earth the Sun actually is moving. Did
you know that the Sun is actually moving? The Sun
moves around to orbit around our Milky Way. The Earth
(21:31):
orbits around the Sun at sixty seven thousand miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
That's pretty fast.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
But the Sun, with the Earth and all the other
planets and moons in its gravity, travels around the Milky
Way at one hundred and thirty seven miles per second,
which is five hundred thousand miles per hour, half half
a million miles an hour. If you were to take
a taxi in New York City or get on a
(21:56):
subway and it was going twenty or thirty miles an hour,
all of a sudden he accelerated was going forty or
fifty or sixty, or that train started going eighty or
one hundred and it got up to one hundred and twenty.
You'd be screaming your head off, wouldn't you. And many
of you have already experienced that multiple of times. But
at one hundred and twenty miles per hour, multiply that
by four one hundred and sixty six times, and you
(22:18):
have how fast the Sun is traveling around the Milky
Way galaxy.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Are you getting dizzy yet? Next?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Our whole Milky Way and the Earth with it is
traveling at sixty seven thousand miles around the Sun. Or
while that's going travel well, we're traveling around the Sun.
The Sun's traveling around the Milky Way. Together, the Sun
and the planets are traveling at twenty five miles per
second around a cluster of galaxies called the Local Group.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Is a fun scientific name, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
You know? New one have these names you can't pronounce.
I kind of like this one. The Local Group is
the closest cluster of galaxies, and the Local Group are
our Sun and galaxy. The Milky Way is traveling around
the Local Group at three hundred and seventy five miles
per second towards the Virgo cluster, which is forty five
million light years away. You are not standing still right now.
(23:10):
You are traveling fast. And God was accurate in scriptures
even before the scientists knew this, That the Sun is
moving around in a circuit. That is God speaking about
who he is. That is God speaking about his goodness.
That is God understanding things we could never understand. In
its fullness, and now here's this marvelous shift. David is
(23:33):
marveling at the wonders of the sun and the stars,
and the mountains and the rivers. But he says, all
these things pale. They're minuscule in comparison to the greater
light of the glory of God that's found in the
Word of God. The sun, in his most brilliant shine,
does not shine like this book does. The speed of
(23:53):
travel that which we see in the universe has nothing
to do with the speed of power of God working
in your.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Life through his words.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
And I pray that my sermon today, my message tonight,
would be one if you don't remember anything I say,
there'll be some strange inkling in your heart to say, God,
give me a hunger for your word. Put a fresh
fire in my heart, that I would meditate on this
book day and night, that I would maybe take some
time to turn the TV off, or just stay up
(24:21):
a little bit later, or wake up a little bit sooner.
Give me a craving hunger. If you're hungry for it,
you'll make time. If you're hungry for it, you'll find time.
If you thirst for it, you find the refrigerator. And
we can find the Word of God being alive to us.
Verse seven through eleven begins to and I'll move along quickly.
Verse seven through through nine excuse me, begins to speak about.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
The Word of God.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
And everything I've said up to this point is introduction,
so you're ready to get into it now. The Word
of God is just three simple verses seventy eight to nine,
But six times in these three verses it says this
of the Lord, of the Lord, of the Lord, the
Word of the Lord, of the Lord of the Lord.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
You know what David is trying to say.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
These things are of God, the Word of God, the
perfections of God, the statutes of God, the laws of God,
the rules of God. These are things of God. These
are God's things. The word there is Yahweh. These are
of Yahweh. Yahweh loves his word. Yahwais says his word
is perfect. Yahways says his word is true. He always
said his word is sure. He always says his word
is right. He always said his word is clean. Yahways
(25:23):
said his Lord, his word is perfect. And Yahweh goes
on to say, not only is it perfect and sure
and right and pure and clean, but it revives the soul,
It makes wise people who are simple. It causes a
rejoicing of our heart. It lightens our eyes when we're
in darkness. It causes endurance in our life when we're struggling,
we feel down and out. It makes us righteous. It
(25:46):
makes us live with a hunger and the righteousness. So
six descriptive words law, Testament, precepts, commandments, fear of the Lord,
and rule. And there are six things that these things
have within them, being perfect, being sure, being right, being pure,
being clean, being true. And these are the six things
that God does. As a result of these laws that
are perfect and these testimonies that are sure. He's reviving us.
(26:10):
He's making us wise. He's causing our hearts to rejoice.
He's causing our eyes to light up with joy and life.
And he's causing endurance and making us righteous in the
things of God. The law of the Lord is perfect.
It's perfect. And what does this perfection do? It revives
it restores you. If you're looking to be revived and restored,
(26:31):
I suggest to you the best way is not the
local cinema. And I certainly would not suggest to you
the local bar. I would not suggest to you even
a vacation. I would not suggest to you anything other
than what God says himself, the reviving of the soul,
or the wakening of the soul, or the turning back
(26:54):
to the fire and passionate from God. The perfect way
to find that, the complete way to find that is
in the Torah, the Law of the Lord, the first
five books of the Word. And so if you'll study
the Word of God, your soul will be revived. And
many of us in the world today are looking for
worldly answers to a spiritual problem. We're trying to find
(27:14):
some way to get revived in our heart and our mind.
And when we can't find it, we just look for
something new, the next thing down the road. But God
is saying, I have something perfect for you. There's not
many offers in the world today that show you something's perfect.
I know, the guy says, there's perfect slippers, and there's
the perfect blanket, but there's not The perfect thing is
(27:37):
in the Law of the Lord that he has for
you day and night. The second thing he says is
his testimony of the Lord is sure making wise the simple.
If you find wisdom to be a problem, you don't
know how to descern who should I marry? What kind
of job should I have?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
How should I.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Raise my kids? You get concerned. There's something simple about
all of us. We just don't know what the best
decision is in our life. God has a solution for you,
and the solution is not just a nice solution compared
to other solutions. This the Bible says, this solution is sure.
In other words, you could say, in our matter in
vernocular vernacular, it's a sure thing, not offer very often
(28:17):
a sure thing.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
God's saying, this is a short thing. What is it?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
It's my testimony, my testimony. The testimony is different than
the law. The law is like the five books of
the Torah of Moses and other scriptures. But this is
God speaking who he is. He said to Moses, I
am that I am. This is my testimony, And he
has a testimony about himself, and that testimony is inscribed
in the scripture. Yes it's in creation, but it's more
(28:41):
clear in his word.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
He tells you who he is.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
He's the most important person in your life, The most
important being is him, and he has described himself in
this book. And that's why David says, I'm meditated on
a day and night I hunger and thirst for these words.
These words were life to me. One of the prophet says,
the words were found, and I ate them, and.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I ate them.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
They just got into my soul and they became a
joy to me. You don't have to say it, but I'll
say hallelujah right there for myself to say. The precepts
The third thing, the precepts of the Lord are right.
Rejoicing the soul. How many of you want to have
a rejoicing soul? You know you want you just want
to rejoice. I just I just wish I could get happy.
Maybe I need to see a counselor maybe I maybe
(29:23):
I need to take a pill. I'm depressed all the time.
I don't know how to get joy back in my soul.
I've lost the joy, I've lost the spark, I've lost
the fire. God has a solution for you, and he
says it's in his word. It's the right way to go.
He says, the precepts of the Lord are right. You
can't go wrong with the word of the Lord. Study
it day and night, dig into it, memorize it, get
to know it, and you will live a right life.
(29:45):
You'll see things turn out right in your life. These
are the precepts. The precept is a guiding principle. Some
organizations have guiding principles. We're going to be doing team work,
or we're going to have good order, or we're going
to be compassionate as people. We have these are called
guiding principles of a company. Interesting, God has his own
guiding principles, and they are called precepts. That's what the
(30:07):
Hebrew word for precept means. How He guides us. These
are principles to live your life by, and that is
what causes you. When you live by these precepts, they're
right for you, and it will cause a rejoicing in
your heart. Anybody rejoicing tonight. If you're not rejoicing tonight,
I have the prescription for you. I have the remedy
for it. It's right in this book. Dig into it
and you'll find rejoicing of the soul forth as we
(30:29):
move on quickly. The commandments another way of saying things.
The commandments of the Lord are pure. They enlighten the eyes.
If everything around you seems dark and dreary, if you
feel down and out, if you feel the world is
a traumatic place, if you feel depressed by everything you're
seeing around you, and your eyes have kind of grown
(30:52):
dim in a sense of maybe from my childhood trauma,
or maybe you want to turn on the news. I
just want to close my eyes. Everything around me seems
dark and depressing and weary.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I'm fed up with it. I don't want to hear.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Another portion of bad news. And God says I have
a remedy for that, because he says, here, I can
lighten your eyes again. In other words, put the spark
back in you. Put the fire of God back in you.
The prophet Jeremiah was weary of all the things were
going on in the world. He saw the trauma and
the heartache, and the brokenness and the rebellion towards God
(31:28):
and the sexual immorality of his day, and he says,
I'm giving up. I don't want to preach ever again.
But he says, oh, but there was a fire shut
up in my bones and I could not contain it.
I have to preach the word of God. And you
can have that fire that lights up your eyes once again.
You can become in other words, brilliant, brilliant, a flame
in your eyes with a passion for Jesus, where people
(31:51):
notice there's something different about you.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
What is it about you that it's this? You're on
fire for God.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
And when you get on fire for God, John Wesley
said it so well, people will come to watch you burn.
People will see that fire in your life. And God
says it's pure. His commands are pure. They're not mixed,
they're not adulterated, they're not deluded. They are pure words
from God's throne, moving quickly. Five, we've got five and
six to go.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
If you want endurance, got a spark in your eye,
you got joy back in your heart.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
You're feeling good. How many have you been there before?
Speaker 1 (32:29):
But you've also got off the mountain back into the valley,
and you've been up and then and you've been down.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
You've been up and down.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Look at this promise now enduring forever, a constant endurance
in the things. He's already just promised that his word
would deliver joy in the Lord, fire in your life,
eyes brilliant with the Lord, Purity, cleanliness, godliness. These are
promises of God. And he says these promises will endure forever.
Why because they are clean they are clean. These are
(32:56):
promises of God. And where do they come from. Where
does this clean promise of enduring and righteousness and holiness forever?
It comes in the fear of the Lord. That's what
David says in this verse here, verse nine.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
The fear of the Lord.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
It doesn't seem to mix, does it, the fear of
the Lord with being clean. It seems like fear of
the Lord, trembling, fear of the Lord, repentance, fear of
the Lord, sorrow. But it's fear of the Lord and
a clean heart. It's the fear of the Lord that
brings the clean heart. I remember in Abraham when he
went into Egypt and he was afraid they were going
to kill him because they were lusting after his wife.
And what he says in Genesis twenty, verse eleven, says,
(33:35):
because there is no fear of God in this place,
they will kill me. Lawlessness that we're seeing in our
culture today, the rebellion against the things of God and
even the simple laws of our land, they come because
there's no fear of the Lord, and there's no fear
of the Lord.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
There's no clean living any longer.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
And we can legislate it all we want, and we
can preach against all we want, But until there's the
fear of the Lord, no one around us will live
a clean life. And our cities won't be clean, our
schools won't be clean, and our government won't be clean.
And the White House won't be clean, the Supreme Court
won't be clean. Nothing will be clean unless we get
back to the fear of the Lord. Unless we have
a revival once again and say God, we have turned
from your statues, we have turned from your ways.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
And we're coming back to you now.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
And as I get ready to close here one last verse,
we want to look at the rules of the Lord
are true and righteous all together. The promise here is
to be righteous altogether, not partly righteous, not I'm doing
pretty good and I pray a little bit and I
read a little bit, but I'm also kind of stuck
in pornography, or you know. I stop drinking now and
(34:44):
I'm really doing good on that, but I'm still screaming
and yelling.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
At my kids.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
This promise is powerful, that the Word of God gives
the ability to be all together righteous. The Bible says,
wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his ways from unrighteousness.
How can a young man clean his ways by taking
heed to the word of God. This book has precious
promises for you. If we will find it out, we
can be righteous together and living in the truth. The righteous,
(35:12):
being righteous altogether comes because God has rules. The Hebrew
word here speaks of household rules. How many of you
fathers or mothers have rules in your household? Don't take
your shoes off and stand on the table while you're
eating spaghetti.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
That's a rule in my house. As I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
I'm not going to tell you why we had to
set that rule up, but it was one of the
rules as my kids were growing up. So if these
are the household rules of God, these are the manners
or customs of a community. And God is saying that
if you want to be righteous altogether, there are certain
rules and my rules. And here's the final thing I'll
say to you. But the Word of God is truth.
(35:48):
We live in a culture where truth is all considered relative.
Oprah Winfrey asks almost every one of her guests, tell
me your truth. I want to throw a book.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
At the TV.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
I want to throw my bible. Don't throw my bible around,
but I will throw it. There's no such thing as
your truth. Your truth could tell you you're a woman
trapped in a man's body. Your truth could tell you
all kinds of stuff. Marry this person, go to this place,
Divorce your wife. She's no good for you. Your truth can
tell you all kinds of things.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
It's emotional. I feel, I feel.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
And there's no absolute truth anymore unless we return as
a nation to the word of God, and not.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
And not just as a.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Nation turning back to the Word of God, but preachers
turning back to the Word of God. I am. I'm
so glad the Word of God has preached faithfully here.
I've heard some of the sermons here of the Word
of God has preached faithfully. And some of you have
been here so long you don't know what it's like
around the world today. Such foolishness from this pulpit. At best,
the Word of God is maybe they read one verse,
(36:55):
close the book and start telling dreams and visions they've
had about the money they're going to make, or or
stories and clever, humorous forms of entertainment, and the Word
of God is not being preached. And that's why I've determined.
You've probably noticed it tonight. I determined the past few
years that the American Church and where we do these pastors' conferences,
(37:17):
need to return to the preaching of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
And I tell you what.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
I used to want to preach good and I used
to want to get applause, and I used to want
to walk off stage and say, I think that was
a really hot sermon. But now what the Lord is
teaching me. So Garrett, when you get up there, you
stand up there and you put your finger in the book,
and you go verse by verse and line by line,
and truth by truth you preach. You tell your people,
look look at this, look at this thing. Don't look
(37:46):
at me, don't.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Look at this.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Look at this book, look into it. And I heard
no old preacher say one time, you put your finger
in that book and you go down line by line,
and when that hand gets tired, it's okay, go ahead
and put it in your pocket, and then get out
your other finger and go look at the book. Look,
look at the book. Look at the book. I want
to encourage you to look at the book. Stand with
you if you would. I want to pray for you. Pastor
Tim you're coming back I want to pray for you, Father,
(38:10):
right now. Your Holy Spirit quickens the Word of God.
It's not just bootstrapping it and saying I'll try hard
to read the Bible. Lord, it's your Holy Spirit that
makes the Word alive to us. It illuminates it. And
so I asked the Holy Spirit to come.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
We haven't really talked about the Holy Spirit in this message.
We talked about the Word of God. It's because the
Holy Spirit makes the Word of God known. He doesn't
just make visions and dreams known. He makes the Word
of God known, the words of Jesus, the words of life.
And so, Father, I'm asking for the Holy Spirit right
now to fill many, many hearts in this place with
a fresh hunger for the Word of God. I pray
(38:49):
that this is so vibrant and alive to them they
can't wait to leave this building, to get home and
open up the book and ask you to say, Lord,
put your finger in this for me and tell me
to look look at this. Let it come alive. Let
it be life to me. Let it be joy. Let
it alive in my eyes. Let it rejoice my heart.
Let it make me clean, Let it make me pure,
(39:10):
Let it make me true, but I would know the
truth and be able to walk there in it. And
I won't be deceived by false teachings that prop up
in the church time and time again. But I'll be
walking in truth. I thank you for your truth. I
thank you for your purity. I thank you for your cleansing,
and I thank you for that we can be righteous
altogether when we just say this is our word, we
love it.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
We love you, we love the Word of God, we
love the God of the Word.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
We give thanks for this in Jesus' name, And everybody
said Amen, Amen, God, bless you all. Thank you letting
me be with you and share in the Word of God.
Pasted with ten paronel thanks to appreciate it. Allo luia.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Come on, we thank Pastor Gary one more time, just
for that word. Time
