Good morning. Welcome. Glad to see you this morning. And I was grateful for the rain last night. I don't know if it rained here like it rained in Watertown, but it was raining when I left this morning about an hour or so ago. And I was grateful for the rain. I mowed the yard yesterday. I could tell there were definitely some areas that could use a good watering. I'm grateful for the reign that the Lord gives. So, my name is Dave Lingle. I serve as Church Ambassador for Wisconsin Family Council, which means I get to represent our organization to pastors and churches all over our state. I have been here before, and maybe you've been here when I've been here before, so I apologize if that was a painful experience for you. Maybe we can get through it again together. So let's look to the Lord in prayer, shall we? And then we'll share some things about our work and from scripture. So thank you, Lord, for your goodness to us. Thank you for a new day to live and to serve. And thank you for the fact that we live in a country where we can freely assemble and get together like this as a church family and without fear of persecution. And Lord, we are grateful for the freedoms that we have. I ask, Lord, that you would help us to use our freedoms to defend and protect our freedoms for the sake of the gospel and for the good of our neighbors. And Lord, I thank you for these folks here. I thank you for this church. I pray that you will use it as a lighthouse in this community. Lord, help us to remember that you've left us here to be salt and light, and I pray that you would help us to be effective in what you'd have us to do. So we ask for your blessing on our time together. We pray for Pastor Wooden, that you would bless him as he's away, watch over him, bring him back safely, continue to bless him in this ministry here, we pray in Jesus' name. Amen. So, Just as a reminder, I serve with Wisconsin Family Council, and our mission is strengthening, preserving, and promoting marriage, family, that would be God's plan for marriage and family, sanctity of life, and religious liberty in our state. I just wanted to take a few minutes and promote a few things to you. First of all, on the table in the foyer, there is a sign-up sheet. And if you do not get our weekly email, I think it's one of the most important emails you can get. Each week it will keep you informed about things that are happening in our state. and sometimes in our country that impact marriage, family, life, and religious liberty. And so it's a great email. I don't have anything to do with putting it together. Our staff put it together. I'm not sure even who all is involved in doing that, but they just do an outstanding job. I know I always look forward to getting it and reading through it. And I'm sure it would be a blessing and encouragement to you. So please sign up for that. If you do not get that, there's no charge for it. And obviously, it's up to you how much time you spend reading it each week. But I honestly think it's one of the more important emails you could get in the course of a week. And it will also keep you informed about things that we are doing in the state as far as events are concerned. And we'll say more about a couple of events coming up in the very near future that you might be interested in. Also on the table... is a prayer card we put together. It just is a picture of the staff members of Wisconsin Family Council. So yes, my picture's on there. Sorry about that, but it is. Sometimes you hear our names and you wonder, well, who is that person? Well, at least you can put a face with the name, right? And what it is that we do in the organization. Please feel free to take one of those. Also on the back is a little bit about some of our ministries. So if you have any questions on that, let me know. Then also I want to promote to you one of our more recent ministries in our state, and that is LEAD Wisconsin. You say, what is LEAD Wisconsin? Well, LEAD is an acronym for Learn, Empower, Act. and discover. And there are some brochures on the table. The brochures are outdated because we had our first camp, our camp of lead, in August of this year. And so if you get this, if you take one of these, the information is good, but the dates are not right. Okay? Because the dates are August 1 through 6, 2021. Well, the dates for next year are the middle of July. And so I want to promote this to you. Really what LEAD does is it takes young people ages 13 to 19. And we work, we have a number of speakers in, including some of our own staff. And we help young people understand a Christian worldview. a Christian worldview, apologetics, Christian understanding of contemporary issues facing us today, and how to deal with them. And it uses a civics platform. And I could probably spend almost a whole hour talking to you about the camp of LEAD. But one of the most important things that we want for LEAD to do is for it to encourage young people to walk with the Lord. and to follow his leading for their lives. We believe God has a destiny for every one of us and we want our young people to know that, that that's true for them too. And so lead is a way that we are seeking to invest in the next generation and to raise up leaders in the next generation. We were praying this year for 50 young people to come to the first in-person week of LEAD. And did the Lord answer that prayer? Well, yes, he did. In fact, we had to cap registration at 80. All right. So we had 80 young people signed up. And God gave us truly an amazing week. And we praise him and thank him for that. In fact, I would say to you that, in a very real sense, revival erupted on Thursday evening that week of Lied, and young people left changed. One young man that I know of for a fact had, he had already trusted the Lord, but was not really living for the Lord, had not given his heart to the Lord truly. And he went home, well, on Thursday night, he said, I need to be baptized, I need to, I need to sell out for Christ, and I need to get baptized. He went home, followed the Lord and believers' baptism. A couple of our staff members were at his church in Fond du Lac when he got baptized. It was this exciting thing. I saw his pastor at a funeral service just a week or two after this young man was baptized, and his pastor said, he is a changed person. Well, that's what the week was all about, right? It was changing hearts and lives for God's glory. And so God gave us just a great week. So please, if you're a young person ages 13 to 19, or you know a young person ages 13 to 19, Think about, pray about participating in LEAD. It's not inexpensive because it costs money to do a camp program like that and bring in speakers, but there is financial aid available. And as far as I know, everybody who wanted to come this last year was able to come, largely due to a lot of, many of God's people saying, hey, this is important. We need to invest in the next generation. And so a lot of folks contributed to scholarship funds to make that possible. So if you have any questions about that, please feel free to talk to me. I'll try and answer them to the best of my ability. I did not, I was not the leader for the week. I am, Mrs. Cheralee Nichols is our camp director. She just did an outstanding job. And so we're just very thankful for the opportunity we have to invest in the next generation. Oh, one of the things I wanted to mention was, you know, we wanted the young people to obviously to have a good experience and to grow, and I believe they did. It was really incredible to see them grow and mature throughout the week. But one of the ways we believe that we know that it was a good week was that as young people were checking out, leaving at the end of the week, we had, I think the number was at least 20 of them signed up to come back the next year in 2022. And that to me was a resounding testimony that they enjoyed the week, were blessed by the week, were helped by the week, And it was good enough that they wanted to come back. And so we're looking forward to that. The plan is, I think, to grow this next year. And so we'll probably have as many as 100, maybe 120. I'm not sure how much growth we can accommodate. Depends on staffing. But if you think about it, pray with us. It's just a wonderful opportunity to impact young people. And they came from all over the state. And we even had one or two from Michigan and one or two from Illinois, I think. So looking forward to that ministry next year already. There are some other items in the back. One of the things I want to mention to you and challenge you with is our Choose Life license plate. If you see my car in the parking lot, you'll see the Choose Life license plate on it. There's a sample license plate in the back, which is a real license plate, and no, I did not steal it. One of our staff members left and moved to Michigan. She still works for us, but remotely. But I said, when you get to Michigan, can I have... She had two license plates, right? One in front, one in back. I said, can I have one of your license plates? And so it says Child 7, but it's a Choose Life license plate. So she graciously allowed me to have it so I could use it for display. You say, why should I have a Choose Life license plate? Two primary reasons. One is, while it costs you an extra $25 a year to have a Choose Life plate, that $25 a year is accumulated by the DOT and every quarter they send a check for the funds that have been generated by the Choose Life Plate. They send a check to Choose Life Wisconsin for those funds. Those funds then are turned around and Choose Life Wisconsin distributes those funds to pro-life pregnancy resource centers in our state. So by having that license plate, you're contributing to a funding stream for pro-life pregnancy resource centers in our state. I think you folks here support one of those centers, and that center has benefited from those funds. And to date, those plates first became available at the end of October in 2017. To date, the sale of those plates has generated over $150,000 and has gone back to the Pro-Life Pregnancy Resource Centers. We do not keep any of those funds. We absorb, our organization and Pro-Life Wisconsin, between the two of us, we absorb all the administrative costs. So all the money that comes in from the sale of those special plates goes back to Pro-Life Pregnancy Resource Centers. So it's a wonderful way to easily provide, be part of a funding stream. And I'm excited about the fact that more and more, when I'm on... I'm probably a little strange. Well, probably not probably, but I know I'm a little strange, but I tend to look at license plates, right? And more, you know, because I enjoy seeing some of the personalized plates that people have come up with, but more and more I'm seeing Choose Life plates out on the road when I'm out. Used to be that was an exception, but now it's not so much an exception. I'm pulled into Coles and Delafield a few weeks back, and when I came out from the store, somebody parked next to me had a Choose Life license plate. I thought, that's cool. I was going down the road just a week or two ago, and somebody passed me, and they had a Choose Life license plate. And the other day, I was going down the road, and a great big guy on a motorcycle, and I ride a motorcycle too, so I saw him coming, and I looked over, because I always like to see, okay, what kind of a bike are they riding and whatnot, and he went past me, and he looked right over at me, and he gave me a nod, and I'm thinking, What was that about? He doesn't know I ride a bike. It wasn't a biker thing, right? And I thought, you know, the only thing I could think is he liked my license plate, and that was the only way he could say howdy, you know, or whatever. I don't know. If it wasn't because he didn't know me from Adam's House Cat, so, you know, I don't know if that's what it was about or not. But here's the other thing. In addition to providing a funding stream, it sends a positive message to the culture, right? Life is a good thing. And Choose Life is a good challenge and reminder to the culture. And so please, I would urge you, I can't think of any reason to not have a Choose Life license plate. And so if you don't have one, there are forms on the back. It's the DOT form. Just download it and print it from their website. You can fill that out, send it in. and get signed up for your Choose Life license plate. You can personalize it. It has one space less than the typical license plate, but I've seen some real creative one. A pastor friend of mine in West Bend has a Choose Life license plate, and it's M-G-O-F-G-D. You know what that stands for? I thought that was classic, that was cool. You know, what's his point? Because every child, born and unborn, is an image bearer. And I've seen some other ones too that were really neat. So a lady that works in a Pro-life Pregnancy Resource Center in Fond du Lac. I had stopped at her church and she had pulled in and I saw her Choose Life plate and it said, I think it said, L-I-F-S-V-R, Lifesaver. I thought that was clever. So anyway, I hope that you would seriously think about and consider getting your Choose Life license plate I haven't heard of anybody having their car vandalized or attacked in any way because they had a Choose Life license plate. I've never had a problem. And nobody in our office who has a Choose Life plate has had a problem. So please think about that. And there's brochures on the table that talk about the work of Wisconsin Family Council. And there are some books and booklets on the table that might be of help or interest. And we would ask for a donation for those. And there's a sign that talks about that, too. But please get signed up. for our weekly email if you don't already get it. And then seriously consider getting a Choose Life license plate. Then I want us to think about 1 Timothy 2, 1 through 4 for a couple of minutes. Paul says to Timothy, who was pastoring of the local church in Ephesus at the time. He says, I exhort, therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings, and for all that are in authority that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty, for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." I just think it's interesting that Paul tells Timothy that this needs to be, this kind of prayer needs to be a matter of priority in the local church, to pray for all men, for all that are in authority. You know, there were some people in authority in that day and age. They weren't very good people. All right. And you may say, oh, that's kind of like us in our country today. I would probably agree. Well, we still need to pray for them. Right. Because it's commanded and because God would have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. So we need to be praying for our president, for our vice president, for our United States representatives, for our U.S. senators from our state, for our state representatives, for our state senators, for our mayor, for our alder persons, for, I would say, for our police chiefs and fire chiefs and our school board members. You know, these are people who have been elected by you, right? Hopefully you voted. And maybe sometimes the people you voted for don't get elected, but many times they are people who have been voted for by you. And if you didn't vote, then I would say you have a responsibility for those who did get elected because you didn't do your part to elect good people. And you say, wow, Dave, you're getting kind of preachy there. Yeah, I'm sorry. But I just believe that God gave us the kind of government that we have. It's representative government. That means it's incumbent on us to do our part as good citizens. And I believe honor God. with our vote, you say, oh, come on. What's this business? You're bringing politics into the church? No. Paul said to the Corinthians, whether you eat or drink or what? Whatever you do, Right? Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Well, I think that whatever you do involves our participation as citizens in our country. And I think that that means that we need to vote, and we need to vote in ways that bring honor and glory to God. That means we vote for people who will stand for what's right, and for what's true, and for what's good. And you say, what if there's nobody like that running? Well, then shame on us. Because if there's nobody like that running, maybe we need to be the ones running, right? And I would throw that out as a challenge to you. If we don't like what we're getting in government, we have the ability to impact it in a positive way, rather than just sit around and complain and grumble. Maybe some of us, maybe some of you, need to step up and say, you know what, I need to do this for the sake of my family, for the sake of my children, for the sake of my grandchildren. And maybe God would have you to run for office as an alder person or a school board member, or maybe even a mayor. Though I would say start out a little lower and work your way up, right? So we need to be praying for these folks. You know, it's not whether we like them or not. That doesn't determine if we pray for them. It's about being obedient. So I had, within the last couple of weeks, I've met with pastors and legislators in our state capitol. met with a Democratic state representative, with a pastor from her district. We prayed with her and for her. I met with a Republican state representative, with a pastor from his district. We prayed with him and for him. They all need our prayers. And for lots of different reasons, But the first and most important reason is if they don't know the Lord, they need to know the Lord, right? And so we need to pray that they'll come to faith. Well, the only way people come to Jesus is if they hear about Jesus. The only way I know people hear about Jesus is if somebody tells them. Right? That means that pastors, I think pastors and others, but my work has to do with partly with connecting pastors with legislators through what we call our Church Ambassador Network. And so in that endeavor, we're seeking to get pastors to intentionally, over time, develop relationships with their state elected officials for the sake of having a witness to them, being a source of a gospel witness and a source of gospel encouragement to them. So last week, Wednesday morning, I went with the pastor. We met with his state representative. This particular pastor has, in fact, engaged with this state representative on a number of occasions to the point that the pastor shared with me after a meeting. He said, you know, he has actually called me when he was in a tough spot and asked me to pray for him. That's the kind of relationship and connection we want pastors to have with our legislators. Our vision would be that every legislator in our state capitol would know at least one gospel-preaching, Bible-believing pastor who They know well enough that they would be comfortable reaching out to them and asking for prayer when they're facing a difficult time in their life. So that is a little bit about the work of our church ambassador network. We're challenging pastors to develop authentic, redemptive relationships with elected officials. and encouraging them to maintain those relationships, even when those people are no longer serving in office, right? Because they're still people, and you need the Lord. And for those individuals, and there are a number of individuals in our state capitol who are serving, who are believers, and they need the encouragement of knowing that God's people are praying for them. And there are just some wonderful opportunities to minister in the Capitol, even to staffers. I'll share with you, I'll try and be brief, but one day, Daniel Degner, my colleague and I, we went to the Capitol. We were just going to do some, what I would call, office to office visitation, right? And pray with whoever was in the office that day and the offices we visited. And I contacted a pastor who pastors an evangelical church in the Madison area and asked him if he wanted to come along. Well, he was able to come with us that day. And that particular day, one of the offices we visited was not an office I had planned to visit, to be honest. Though I know the staffers in there, and one staffer in particular, the senior staffer, is a Christian woman who knows the Lord and has a really good, clear testimony. Just a very sweet lady. And we hadn't planned to stop by that office that day. But that particular day, as it turned out, we were right in that wing and right by the office. So we said, well, let's stop in and say, hey. So we opened the door, walked in, me, Daniel, and this pastor. And the pastor looked at the staffer, and the staffer looked at the pastor. And they knew each other. And the pastor did not know that she was working in the Capitol. And as it turned out, her parents had come to Saving Faith under the ministry of his father, who had also been a pastor. So these two knew each other. So that was kind of cool, right? This little reunion that took place. But we went into the representative's office and sat down at the conference table in there. And we were visiting with the staffer. Come to find out just two days earlier, she had found out about a 45-year-old nephew who had died of an overdose. and she had lost several relatives, several close relatives in the last year or so, and here was another one, and she was hurting. She was hurting that day. And as we visited with her, and here was this pastor, who was a significant person from her past, who showed up that day in her office in the Capitol, and as we visited with her and then as we prayed with her and for her, it was really obvious that this was a God-ordained meeting, right? I had no idea that this pastor knew any of the staffers in the Capitol, right? Let alone this particular woman. And on that particular day, there was this need, and God had us there for that. And there have been other times where it was very clear that God was using our ministry in the Capitol. to impact lives. So that was just a wonderful experience and we're grateful to the Lord for that. But our goal is to impact our elected officials and to be a blessing to the people that are serving in our state capitol. So I'd encourage you to pray for them. Do you know the name of your state representative? Do you know the name of your state senator? See, I would suggest to you that you should know their names. And I would suggest to you that you should be praying for each of them by name. And you should be praying for the governor and the lieutenant governor of our state, Governor Evers and Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes. They need our prayers, right? They need our prayers. And if they don't know the Lord, our prayer should be, Lord, work in their hearts and minds, bring people into their lives that can speak truth to them and share the gospel with them and cause them to have their eyes open and their hearts open to the truth of the gospel. And we need to do that. And I think that we're failing, we are failing our elected officials if we are not praying for them. In fact, if we're not praying for them, we're not in obedience to a command in scripture. Would you agree? I mean, isn't it clear we're supposed to be praying for them? First of all, I exhort, first of all, the prayers, supplications, intercessions given, four of the seven or eight words that are used in the New Testament for prayer are used in this passage. That seems like it's important, right? And so, you know what, let's just take a minute right now and pray for some of our elected officials, shall we? Lord, we are very concerned as we think about the direction we see our country going. And so we want to pray today for our president and our vice president. Lord, as far as we know, they don't know you. But Lord, they need to know you because one day they will stand before you and give an account of their leadership. And Lord, what's going on right now, I certainly would not want to be them and have to give an account of my leadership to you, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the God of the universe. And so Lord, I pray that you'll work in their hearts and minds and draw them to yourself. I pray that same thing for Governor Evers and Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes. Lord, I have not had the opportunity to meet them personally. The Lord, as far as I know, they don't know you, and I pray that you would work in their hearts and lives and draw them to yourself. Lord, you worked in the heart and life of Nebuchadnezzar, and he repented and turned to you. Lord, we pray that you would do that in the hearts and lives of some of these elected officials. Lord, we pray for our state representatives and our state senators today. Lord, thank you for the ones who know you and or who at least profess to know you. And Lord, I pray that you'll help them to be faithful in their marriages, faithful parents, and I pray that you will help them to have the strength of character that they need to stand for what is true and for what is right and for what is good for all of the citizens of our state. So I pray that you'll work in their hearts and lives. For those who don't know you, Lord, again, I pray that you would Draw them to yourself. And as we have opportunity with pastors to minister to them in the capital or in the district, I pray, Lord, that you will use the witness and the truth of your word to speak to their hearts and do a work in their hearts and lives. Draw them to yourself. And Lord, we pray for the mayor of this city and for the people who serve on the city council that, Lord, you will work in their hearts and lives and draw them to yourself. Help them, Lord, to do what's right. Lord, even if they don't understand why it's right or why they should do it, help them to do what is right and what is honoring to you and what will be best for the citizens of this community. And help us, Lord, as your children, to be faithful in praying for them. Lord, even in spite of sometimes the frustration we might feel with them, Lord, we pray that you help us to be faithful in praying for them. Lord, it's easy to sit around and complain. It's easy to sit around and criticize. But, Lord, you have called us to a higher more noble way of acting and thinking, and that includes praying for these people. And so help us as your children to do that and to be faithful in doing that. In Jesus' name, amen. So we need to be praying for them just like we need to pray for the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers into his harvest. And then I do want to circle back for a minute here. I talked about maybe some folks from here need to get involved. By the way, I do have a cough. It's not COVID. It's not a cold. It's not contagious, OK? Just so you know. I might say something about it a little later on. We think we know what it might be related to. But one of the things that we're doing is we have, we're doing some events around the state currently that are called, the event is called Going Local, not going loco, right, but going local. And so it's about, it's really, the events are training events. It's like if you say, well, I've wondered about what are some practical things or practical ways I can make a difference in my community? Well, here's an opportunity. We're doing an event in Pewaukee at Dayspring Baptist Church on the 14th of October. So if you can make it out on the October 14th, there's no charge for the event. Supper is included. So go online, wifamilycouncil.org under events. You can get signed up for it there. He's saying, well, I can't come, but I have a friend that I think should come. All right, tell your friend, right? Recruit for us. As far as I know, there's no limit on how many people can be at the event. So get signed up and learn some practical ways you can impact your community. It really is a practical training session. It might be high time for some of us or some of the folks you know to get involved at the local level. might mean something as easy as just attending city council meetings, right? Or at least paying attention to what's on the agenda at the city council so you know what's happening, so that you know if there's something that they're going to be talking about that impacts something like religious liberty, right? You can be there and maybe even be a voice for reason and for what's good and for what's right. So, or your school board, you might mean showing up at the school board, might mean taking opportunity to give testimony at some of those meetings. And really, we provide, we're providing at this meeting, we're providing some written resources that you can use. For instance, if your local school board is involved in teaching critical race theory, or proving curriculum that teaches critical race theory. You should know what CRT is and you should know why it's a problem, right? And we will give you resources that you can utilize to give testimony at a school board meeting about CRT, right? So we're doing some of the heavy lifting for you, but obviously we can't be everywhere doing all these meetings. your community, your responsibility to take responsibility for your community. And we're going to help you do that. And that's what the Going Local events are about this fall that we're doing around the state. We were in Appleton Thursday night. We'll be in Plover this coming, this week. And then we'll be in Milwaukee the week after. And I forget, beyond that, where we're going to be. But you'll want to be there. Both Jelaine, President of Wisconsin Family Council, and Micah Pierce, Executive Vice President of Wisconsin Family Council, are doing the presentations and training, as well as one of our consultants. So please take advantage of that. We think that that would be a help and a blessing to you. One of the other things I want to promote to you is happening on the 16th of October. And that is in Cal Revival Church is where this will happen. In Neenah, we're doing a training session for the engagement project. Actually, this is Del Tackett's ministry. I don't know if you've seen the Truth Project by Del Tackett, but this is kind of a follow-up small group study. And this training on Saturday the 16th is for training for ministry leaders, for pastors, for small group leaders, Sunday school teachers, church leaders, to learn about the engagement project and how to present it and host the study about the engagement project. You say, what's the engagement project? It is a 10-week Bible study, if you will, on really engaging with your neighbors, right? It's about evangelistic outreach. It's about just, you know what? And one of the things I appreciated about the engagement project as I went through it was this idea. It is no accident that you live where you live. It is no accident that you have the neighbors that you have. God has put those neighbors in your life so that you can have a ministry to them. And the engagement project just kind of walks you through that, kind of the whys and wherefores and hows. And it would be a blessing and encouragement to you. And so if that sounds like something that might be of interest, the training, as I said, is up in NENA. And it will last for most of the day on Saturday. It starts at 9 and ends at 2, I think, on that Saturday. And if you come to the training, it's $80, but you get the set of DVDs that is the engagement project, as well as access to the resources. So that's another opportunity. It's really an outstanding study, and I encourage you to think about that and find out more about it. If you want to know more about it, if you wanted to see a little promotional for it, if you go to Deltaket.com, right? It's D-E-L-T-A-C-K-E-T-T.com, Deltaket.com. It'll tell you all about the engagement projects. And then I want to wrap up with just a brief challenge from 1 Chronicles chapter 12 and verse 32. As Saul's reign as king was coming to an end and as leadership was beginning to coalesce around David, we're given a list in 1 Chronicles 12 of of people groups and tribes who were coming around David and casting their lot in with him. And it says this about the men of Issachar. It says that they were men who had understanding of the times and knew what Israel ought to do. You know, I think there's instruction there for us in our day and age. We ought to be men and women who understand our times. You know, this is not a time for us to be discouraged. This is a time for us to let our lights so shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify our Father who's in heaven. This is a time for us to be salt and light, not silent and complacent. The men of Iskar understood their times and knew what they should, key word, do, right? And knew what they should do. So it wasn't just a matter of being informed. And it wasn't a matter just of understanding, but they knew what they should, what? Do, right? That's an action word, right? That means take an action, right? And I think that that should be true of us today as well. As believers, we should understand our times. And then we should understand what we should do about the times that we live in. So I don't think God has called us to just be pew sitters. I think he's called us to be men and women of action. I think he's called us to be difference makers. I like that verse in Jude that says, of some having compassion, making what? a difference, making a difference. And I think that's what God is calling us today, too, as well, to be difference makers. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something. You know what? For sure, we can all pray, right? But beyond that, Maybe you can give and support a thing like LEAD Wisconsin or the work of Wisconsin Family Council. For sure, you should be supporting the work of your local church, right? I always like to tell people, yes, we need the support of God's people, because guess what? The government is not going to support a work like Wisconsin Family Council, nor do I think it should, right? And so we welcome your support and what I believe to be an investment in the work of an organization like Wisconsin Family Council. We serve in the state really on your behalf. But I also like to always say your first responsibility is to your local church, right? So anything you give to us should be above and beyond your giving to your local church. But we do welcome, obviously, your support. So we can pray, we can give, and beyond that, it may be that God is calling you to serve in some way in your community, or at the very least, he has given you neighbors that you have and you can be a witness and testimony to them. So it's 10 o'clock. Any questions before we dismiss? I probably should have allowed a little more time. I don't know about that little guy's name, but he is a handsome little guy. I love his outfit. He's been a little bit of a distraction to me today, but in a good way. Speaking as a grandpa. Any questions, comments, observations? Do you have all the information in the back? Most of the things I talked about, there's materials in the back that would relate to it. Okay, well, let's pray and we'll be dismissed. Thank you, Lord, for, again, for your amazing grace in our lives. Help us to never get over our salvation. Help us to never get over the fact that you are such a good and faithful God. I pray that that truth will grip us and motivate us day by day to walk with you, to honor you with our lives and our commitments. And help us, Lord, to redeem the time by using it for your glory, we pray in Jesus' name, amen.
