What I want to look at tonight, if you're in 1 Chronicles chapter 29, I want to read from verse 10 down to verse 13, okay? Wherefore David blessed the Lord before all the congregation, and David said, Blessed be thou, Lord God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever. Thine, O Lord, is the great greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine. Thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. Did I give yous the right Bible reference? First Chronicles. What did I say? No, I think you're lying. I just heard the wee mutterings in the background. If you turn to 1 Chronicles chapter 29, come on, hurry up, catch up for goodness sake. You've put the scud on me, brother. That's the whole evening's ruin. I'll just go home. First Chronicles chapter 29, and we'll start at verse 10 and read down to verse 13. How's that? Are we there? Are you sure? I'm the only one singing in tune. Right. Wherefore, David blessed the Lord before all the congregation, and David said, Blessed be thou, Lord God of Israel, our Father forever and ever. Thine, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine. Thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. Both riches and honor come of thee, and thou reignest over all. And in thine hand is power and might, and in thy hand is to make great. and to give strength unto all. Now, therefore, O God, we thank thee and praise thy glorious name. And let's pause for a word of prayer. Heavenly Father, as we are gathered around your word this evening, I thank you, dear Lord Almighty, that we have a living faith that our Savior, our Redeemer, is alive and well and seated at the right hand of God. I thank you, Heavenly Father, that we have a living relationship with you through your Son. And it is exemplified in this passage of Scripture before us, dear Heavenly Father. And be with me, dear Lord, that you would guard my tongue, that any words coming out from it would be an encouragement, a blessing. They would edify you, they would lift up Christ. And Heavenly Father, You know the needs gathered in this room, and I ask that you would minister through God the Holy Spirit, that God the Holy Spirit would do the work that's in here. And all in all, dear Heavenly Father, we would be blessed to have been gathered around your word here this evening. In Christ's name I pray. Amen. This is David, and I want to set the context for you. If you go back one chapter to 1 Chronicles chapter 28, let me read verses 9 and 10 for you, and let me let you know what's going on here at this particular time in Israel and David's life. Verses 9 and 10, chapter 28 say, And now, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind. For the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts. If thou seek him, he will be found of thee, but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever. Take heed now, now this is what's important, for the Lord hath chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong and do it. What is happening here is David is at the end of his life. The crown's handed over to Solomon, his son. And as David fought through his battles with Saul, as David fought Israel's enemies, we're now at a time when Israel is settled. David is in his palace in Jerusalem. And at some point earlier on in the proceedings, David looked out of his window and he said to himself, I'm living in a palace, and God dwells in a tent. At this particular time, when that thought came to David, the Israelites were still using the tabernacle, the tent that Moses was instructed to build during their wanderings in the wilderness. And David thought to himself, how can I live in a palace? God dwells in a tent okay so David through prayer brought it before the Lord and said Lord I want to build you a temple now here's the thing God said to David you can't build my temple your hands are too bloody to build me a Sin has a consequence in our life. Forgiveness is absolute. Forgiveness for a believer is completely absolute. And here's the simple way to look at it. If you drink a bottle of whiskey a day for 30 years, you're going to have liver damage. And you stop drinking a bottle of whiskey a day after 30 years, you're still going to have liver damage. Sin has a consequence. The consequences of David's sin caught up with him. But what the Lord allowed him to do, gathered and empowered him to do, is he gathered all of the material necessary to build the temple. And he passed it on to his son. And it was Solomon that was going to build the temple. Now, I'm not actually going to be speaking about the temple. or Solomon. I confused you with the Bible reference at the beginning. I'm going to confuse you with the entire message. I should have actually asked just Pastor Wheatman to give out Horlicks on the way in, because it's better that you nod off than you wander out and say to each other, what on earth was all that about? It is a little bit eclectic. But hopefully I'm going to be able to gather it all together for you, because there is a point and there is a definite application. The first thing I want you to look at is a life hid with God. As I read through this passage of Scripture, what I seen in it was things that the world craves, and things that the world believes to be absolute foolishness. And what struck me was the language that David used as he prayed. This is David's prayer as he hands off to Solomon. that Solomon would walk with God and be empowered of God. But look at the limings. Look at verse 10. Wherefore David blessed the Lord before all the congregation, and David said, Blessed be thou, Lord God of Israel, our father forever and ever. Now, you've got to understand, see from the world's perspective, David's sitting there or standing there, and he's talking to absolutely nobody at all. He's pushing words out into the air, and there's nobody out there. There's no ritual with his prayer. He's not lighting candles. He's not burning incest. He's not pulling smoke over himself. He's blessing God. Read on down through verse 11. Thine, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty for all that in heaven and in the earth is thine. Thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. You'll hear Christians refer to sweet Jesus. You'll hear Christians say, He is the loveliest thing to me in my life. The world can't grasp this. And when you look at verse 11 and you see phrases like, Thine, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty. The world can't grasp or understand why a believer Or in this case, David can actually use language like that. And what I want to do is just let you know why David uses this language. Because David has lived a life with God. That's why, David, it's a very, very simple thing. And we talk about a mature Christian life. That has no basis or standing in age. A mature Christian life has no basis or standing in the length of time that you are a Christian. There are Christians who are saved 20, 30 years, and there's young men and young women who are saved only a few years, and they have a maturity in their understanding of the Christian life and in their Christian faith way beyond the old timers, OK? Why David is able to use this language is he has lived a life that has seen God operate in his life. He understands fully that God is real because he has experienced them. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about we need a religious experience. Please, please don't take that from us. But David has seen God give him the victory over giants. David has seen God as he fled from Saul from an enemy. On David's part, and to his absolute credit, David upheld God's anointed. Twice he had the chance to kill his adversary. Twice he had the chance to kill Saul, the first king of Israel. Twice David refused to lay a hand on God's anointed. He honored God. David has seen God's power work in his life when he was able to bring down Goliath, who by all accounts was about nine foot ten tall, nine and a half feet tall, when he was only a young man, a boy, a shepherd boy. David's seen God's work in his life when he committed adultery, got a woman pregnant, murdered her husband to cover it up, and carried on, tried to carry on living his life. And God sent Nathan the prophet in. But there's a year's difference between when the sin happened and when Nathan confronted him with his sin. And what David tried to do was continue on with his life as if nothing has happened. So David has seen God honor him in his victories, and he has seen that God won't let him away with his catastrophes. But he's also seen that God's desire wasn't to destroy him. it was to restore him to a fine footing. So what we see in these verses 10 and 11 is a man who through his life, as he has come to the end of his life, he has seen that this Christian life, this believer's life, is a relationship with a living God. Now tell me, do you have that relationship? If you're a believer here this evening, if you know that you're saved, if you know you have a home in heaven, do you actually have a relationship with your God? Are you saved by the skin of your teeth? That's all it takes. But is your relationship grown? See, what David had, right from the word go, right from a child, was an absolute desire to live for God. Now he failed, and I'm sure he failed more than once. But he had that desire and that love for God from a young age. But do we have a love for God? Do we have a desire for God? Do we have a desire to glorify God in his life? See, what offended David when Goliath was challenging the nation of Israel is that Goliath was slandering his God. Goliath was slagging off his God. That's what offended David. It wasn't that David wanted to rush out and save the nation of Israel. David wanted to defend God's holy name. See, we get saved and we get involved in a Christian life. And what happens very, very quickly, folks, is we learn how to use the Christian language. We learn what's expected of us as believers. And what we do is we fall into going through the motions. And we're not wicked. We're not committing adultery. We're not going out and getting paralytic drunk. We're not robbing pensions off of grannies. We're trying to live a good life. We've controlled our language. Lord willing, we've defeated the big things in our life, the big sin in our life. But what happens is it becomes pedestrian. That fire dies that we had maybe when we were first saved, that absolute glory. Speaking with my wee sister last night, she actually said to me, now we were talking, she's chronic, I mean we never got anywhere, you know, but I don't try and win arguments with them, what I want to just do is leave them with a thought and Lord willing that thought will work on her heart. But what she said to me, which struck me as quite interesting, she said 10-15 years ago, Because all that was in you was, you need to be born again. You need to be born again. I can talk to you now, but I couldn't talk to you then. But the difference between me then and now is I've grown up. I've realized that person facing me isn't my enemy. I've realized that I can't shout the gospel into somebody's face. But my message hasn't changed. Ye must be born again. It is the most important question that faces humanity. It's the most important question that any individual is ever going to have to answer. Who do you say that Jesus Christ is? If your answer is anything but my Lord and my Savior, then you've got it wrong. And if you face God, the Father, at the white throne of judgment in that condition, then unfortunately you have no hope. Your time has passed. There is no second chance. So David's effusive limage, David's elaborate limage that the world just sort of scratches its head and thinks, why on earth would you say that about somebody you've never seen? actually is the result of a life that has been lived with God. A life of ups and downs that has seen God be faithful, that has seen God provide, that has seen God healed, that has seen God do the miraculous. And if we believers will look closely, we will see that in our life. on a regular basis, all of those things on an absolutely regular basis. So David has lived a life with God. And there's four things here I want you to see next that the world actually lives for, is driven by craves, Yet God gives it in abundance to a believer. Look at verse 12. Now get this. Verse 12. Here's what drives this world in a nutshell. Riches, honor, power, and greatness. That's what the world strives over. We live in a consumer society that is driven entirely by what we want, not by need. See, if we as a society in the West could turn around and say, well, actually, I'm happy with what I've got. There's so much would be settled in this world. Now, I'm not a socialist. I'm a capitalist. And so, I mean, I don't believe in evenly distributed misery. Its contentment with godliness is great gain. And the world chases riches, but what did the writer of Ecclesiastes say? Where am I? He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he that loveth abundance with increase. This also is vanity. Here's the principle at work. And I clearly ask these five, 10. See if you're chasing after something. In this instance, it's money. But if it's alcohol, drugs, chocolate cake, a gym bunny body at the gym, promotion at work, the latest car, the biggest house, All of these things, there's actually nothing wrong. I like a bit of chocolate cake. When you're on your fourth slice, you're having a problem. All right? That's the thing. But if you're looking for something on the outside to satisfy your inner man, that's not going to work. In the interest of political correctness, inner woman. All right, ladies? Thanks very much. Here's the principle at work. See something on the outside. It will never come into your life and satisfy your inner man. That is something that can only operate in a life with God. That is something that can only be filled with God. And let me take this with you just one step at a time. Look, as far as riches are concerned, and power, and honor, and greatness, As I said, God gives these to the believer in order to enable them to live their life. But there's a principle that he applies that we must understand and put into operation for it to affect our lives. Turn to Luke chapter six for me, please. There is a wee bit of Bible study here this evening. I hope it's not too much. Luke chapter 6, now that's Luke chapter 6. And this is a very familiar passage to Luke chapter 6 and verse 38. Give, and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down and shaken together, and running over shall men give unto your bosom. For with the same measure that ye meet, withal it shall be measured unto you again. Now, I came across this passage first with people who would have preached a prosperity gospel. And they use the opening sentence of this verse to emphasize their message. Give, and it shall be given unto you. Good measure, press down. What you need to do is give. And I had a pastor come back from America. And as you know, they do have their televangelists. And we won't give our American cousins a hard time over that, even though they say harsh things about us. but we're fine we're more gracious than that but uh he noticed on one of the tele-evangelist channels the the preacher was saying send in 40 dollars and i'll send you a free bible well you're not getting a free bible you're getting a bible for 40 dollars so but it's just a con unfortunately there's religious con artists all over the world But here's what I want to say about this verse, and this is something that I never noticed until the Lord gave me a wee bit of sense. There's one word that's missing for that, that shoots that whole idea down in flames. And it's the word money. The word riches, the word wealth. You won't find it, even if you go into the original Greek, you won't find any reference to cash whatsoever in that verse. But there is a principle that's being taught in Luke chapter six and verse 38. And it's very straightforward. Our giving has got to precede our receiving, given it shall be given unto you. Our getting is more abundant than our giving. And this is what the prosperity preachers will go on. You're going to get more out of this than I am. But here's the thing. What did Jesus say about treasures and where we should lay them up? Lay up your treasures in heaven, where there's no point having wealth down here. You're going to leave it behind you. And this is something that comes very, very true into my life. Men will return our investment. It may not appear to be God. It says there that, given it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down and shaken together and running over, shall men give into your bosom. Already. And here's how that worked out in my life. When my old ticker went, eek! and started sprouting a leak, and I got brought into hospital. Now, I was lying crying in my bed like a baby. It was Irene that went and phoned the doctor. But here's what was running through my mind. It wasn't, I'm dying. Oh dear, I'm dying. Oh dear, this is awful. Do you know what was running through my mind? How am I going to pay my bills if I'm off work? That's actually what ran through my mind. Do you know what? This congregation and a few other congregations actually met all our financial need. Do you know when the money that yous gave towards me and Irene, do you know when it ran out? The week after I went back to work. All right? Now, here's the thing. And these are going to go, yeah, sure, we knew that. I'm not a good giver. You need to use a crowbar to get anything out of me. But see, my Irene, Irene has a gift for giving. There's absolutely no doubt about it. She literally would give you the shirt off her back. There's no doubt about it. I don't know if it's a chastisement in me, but anything that happened in my life, my recovery from those events in my life, it wasn't because I was worth recovering. It was because you prayed for me. That financial help that I received, it was because I was a giver. It was an answer to my wife, because she's a giver. Now that's a conclusion I've come to. It could be that I get to glory and I say, Lord, why did you save me? And he says, well, I was just feeling particularly gracious that day. It could be. But I'm here because youse folks and because of my wife. And lastly, what you see in this verse, and this is the principle, what limits our giving limits our getting. For with the same measure that ye meet with all, it shall be measured to you again." All righty. If you're mean, you're going to restrict God's work in your life. All righty. So that's the principles that are involved in this. And the world is chasing riches and honor and power and greatness, and God is sitting in heaven, and he's actually just waiting to drop it into the believer's life. But here's the thing. Do we give of the power that we have? See, we might not be chief executive officers of Google. We might not be politicians. We might not hold high office. We may not be diplomats. But there's power in your life as a believer to do something for somebody else, regardless of how little. Is it somebody needs a lift? Is it somebody needs a word of consultation? Is it somebody that needs to hear the gospel? See, the world counts power as influence, as being able to point at people and say, you do this. And I watched a documentary on Fred, Sir Fred Goodwin, the head of RBS, just before the crash. And he's an absolute despot. Now the business world loved him because he got things done. But he had his manager's meetings in the morning, and by all accounts, there was people being violently ill before they went in to spend time listening to this man, verbally, certainly, beating him to death and exercising his power. That's not the power that we have. Do you know what the power we have is? To share what Christ has done for us. See, that's the power that God gives us. See, all these things the world chases, God gives us, but he gives us it for his glory and for his purpose. world wants honor the world wants the people look at me I'm fabulous and you only need to see that in the profusion of reality tv that is on the go if you watch it I have to know this is one one thing I will pat my back and I don't watch any of them I don't find any of them attractive or uh there's a man who very famous 1960s Andy Warhol he said everybody will be famous for 15 minutes well i mean he was spot on he's no prophet he's certainly no believer but he's seen the zeitgeist he's seen the trend that the western world was taken and he nailed it right in the head and that's what everybody chases their 15 minutes of fame that's what they want and and here This is attractive for a believer because you just like somebody to come and say to you, well done. But do you know if your heart's in the right place? Do you know what your thought's going to be or your response is going to be? Don't be thanking me. Anything I have, God's given me. You see, riches are in God's hands, and he might make you a very wealthy person. But if you take God's biblical standard for how to handle your finances, you'll never be in want. Unless something catastrophic happens, and then let me tell you from experience, God does look after his own. Make absolutely no mistake about it. People want honor, or people want power. They want to be able to do this and say that. But God says, no, look, use my power. When you're at your weakest, that's when I'm at my strongest. That's when I can be glorified. When you find yourself in a position where you have absolutely no power at all, That's when I can do my best for you. And again, I've seen it in my own life. I know fine well that Irene was kneeling at the side of my bed, completely helpless. I know fine well that there was doctors who were standing shaking their heads, completely and utterly helpless. God isn't helpless. God is able. And people want greatness. We want to be thought of. We want to have fame. I mean, famously, Muhammad Ali, who I'm no big fan of boxing, but I actually did like Muhammad Ali. But his great saying was, I am the greatest. Well, no, greatness is God's. God is great. And that's an absolute truth. So if you're wanting riches in your life, it really is quite simple. Take the financial principles that God has already put in place, and if you do struggle with finances, and people do, and we hide it, we won't just go and speak to somebody about it. Talk to Pastor Moore. and the only reason the reason i'm saying i'm no pointing you towards pastor weakman is quite simple pastor moore has has his moral fee with what's available to british citizens who are in financial difficulty now i'm sure jamie that'll come to jamie as he goes through his pastoral life in england but right now if you're having difficulties with finances don't fret it Do something about it. Go and see Pastor Moon. He'll be able to point you towards Christians Against Poverty. He'll be able to help you. If you want honor in your life, first of all, honor God. Because if you honor God, here's what happens. He'll honor you. It's as simple as that. If you want power in your life, what sort of power do you want? Do you want the power to shout at people? Or do you want the power, and I need you to watch how I phrase this, or would you rather have power in your witness, so that you can be an effective witness for God? See, if you're going to be an effective witness for God, here's what's going to happen. and you've got to acknowledge that you have no power to persuade anybody. And again, I'll tell you that through experience. And if you want greatness in your life, well, what kind of greatness do you want? And whose greatness is it that you're concerned about? See that all? That's all in David's life. And these are all conclusions that David has come to. But how does it affect us? And how does it impact our life? And is there an example we can see in scripture that actually takes all of these principles and embodies them in one? Yeah, well, of course there is. If you turn to Philippians chapter two for me, please. I feel as if I've flown through the skies. I'm trying to show up the other preachers, get these out of here and home for 10 past seven. I feel like I was sure there was more body to this, but there you go. Such is life. Philippians chapter two, again, a very familiar passage. Let's read it from verse 3 down to verse 11. Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which is also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Here we see David's life and what David had come to learn. Here we see where our opening passage in 1 Chronicles 29 all comes together in a person. That person's Christ Now, we as believers, we may look at this and think, well, that's Jesus. I can never be exactly the same as Jesus. And you would be absolutely right. But let me look. I haven't got it. We are charged in Hebrews to take on, to become partakers of the divine nature. We are told that we have God the Holy Spirit indwelling us, who is able to empower us, who is able to control our lives. We will never be Christ, but as we move through our Christian life, we can come to a point where these characteristics that we see in Christ, that we see embodied within Christ, become part of our waking, walking, living life. You see it says in verse three, let nothing be done through strife or vain glory, but in lowliness of mind, let each esteem other better than themselves. Do you find yourself fighting with people and shouting and arguing? Now don't mistake this for an idea that as a Christian, what you automatically do when there's a bit of a confrontation, when there's a difference of opinion, that you lie down and let people walk all over you. You don't. You stand your ground. But there's no need to be raising voices. There's no need to be shouting. What about when you're sharing the gospel? What this tells me is, and I've found out as I've lived my Christian life, you can't shout somebody into heaven. You can't shout the gospel. You can't scream the gospel into a person's face. So how's your spirit as a believer? Is it settled? Is it spirit controlled? Are you comfortable in your Christian life to the point where you don't need to win the argument? Christ is enough for me. You know your argument, and you're able to articulate it, but you don't need to beat somebody into the ground for anything. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Do you actually have a ministry that you can be involved in? Well, of course you do. Because when God saved you, he equipped you, and he gifted you, and there's some part of the body that you can fit into somewhere. But here's the thing, are you even bothering looking? See, that's what happens. See, when you're involved in a ministry, here's what you're doing. You're not looking on your own things. You're ministering to somebody else. That is the whole thing about ministry. You don't count. You're involved in somebody else. The mums that are doing mums and tots, the ladies that are doing the nursery, the Sunday school teachers, the preachers, country and western music, I'm sure we could all find something else to do if we actually wanted to. But here's the difference. We don't particularly want to. See, they're looking on the things of other people. Babies need looked after. Folks in Armenia need woolly hats. Are you actually involved in some sort of ministry? Let this mind be in you, which is also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but made himself of no reputation. Now this refers to something that Christ alone could do. He emptied himself of his glory. He cloaked his glory. But here, whose reputation do you have an interest in? Is it God's reputation? Because if you have an interest in God's reputation, then that affects your life. Enoch walked with God. See, if you have an interest in the reputation of God, what you do is you start walking with God. And what that'll do is that when unsafe people look at you, they're going to see something different about you. they're going to notice that there's a difference in your life than in their life. When catastrophe strikes and you're settled in your spirit over that catastrophe, it's going to attract attention. When we're careful about the language we use, when we're careful about what we watch on TV, it's going to attract attention. People are going to notice. And if you live like the world and you say you're a Christian, that kills God's reputation. They don't look at you and think you're a bad Christian. They think that Christianity must be rubbish because look at the state of him, look at the state of her. See, there's a wonderful, powerful, honorable, great life for believers. but it's a life that's hid in Christ Jesus. As King David found out, it's a life that is lived for God. That is the only life that's going to satisfy entirely. That is the only life that we are going to bring into eternity. Everything else is passing away. But what if you're sitting here tonight and you're not a believer? Look at verse 8 in Philippians chapter 2. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. If you're sitting here as a non-believer tonight, an unbeliever, you've never actually taken that step forward, you may come to church on a regular basis. You may like the Christians, you may like hearing what people have said, but you've got to look at what Paul is telling us, what Christ actually done for you. And being found in fashion as a man, God left the glory of heaven. The absolute glory of heaven where he had an angelic host that worshipped him and honoured him and praised him. And he took on a human body. And he was born as a human is born. He grew up as a human was born. He skinned his knees as humans are wont to do. He learned a trade. He honoured his mother and father. He lived the life that we live. But he humbled himself. He never ran about and demanded to be worshipped as God. Why on earth is he doing all this? He became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Why on earth would God do that? It's so that unsaved people can be brought into a right relationship with God. That's the only reason. See, God in heaven knew our condition. We were dead in sins and trespasses. And there was absolutely nothing that we could do about it. Absolutely nothing. And see, before God even said, let there be light, there was a discussion between God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. And Jesus stepped forward and said, I'll pay the price. See, when Adam sinned and he brought calamity upon the world, God the Father didn't say, he did what? You're joking, did he? Never seen that coming. He knew it was coming. He knew what was going to happen. And here's the most wonderful thing about Christ's death on the cross. as if the only person that had ever sinned entirely in the whole world was you, then Jesus would have still went to a cross at Calvary and paid the price for your sin. You see, Jesus had no need to face a death on the cross because there was no sin in his life. He is the only utterly innocent man that has ever lived. But he humbled himself to the cross, not for him, but for us. Now, where to start applying that? There's just so many places that we can take that and apply it in our life. Believers, I mean, are you willing to put yourself out for the unsaved, for your fellow brothers and sisters, for the greater good of God, for the glory of God? If you're not a believer, this is your only escape route. Because there's a time coming when you will stand before God. And the wrong that you have done in your life, the Bible calls it sin. It's going to be laid out before you. And it's not a judgment. You're not there to determine guilt or innocence. You've done it. You're there for judgment. This is the sentence in here. This isn't a trial to determine right or wrong. There is nothing more wonderful than a Christian life. There is nothing more satisfying than a Christian life. There is nothing more settling than a Christian life. Let's put our Christian life into action. Get God's power in our life. Seek to honor God in our life and give God the greatness. And if you're not saved, join us. Come to Christ. Because this is the only life that will satisfy for an eternity. Let's pray.
