And the context principle, I hope, will provide you with fairly good information. It's good to see some of the examples explored, areas that often take a lot of context, and see them put into proper balance we started on the agreement principle class Friday we get any further than this recognition so let's turn them AJ before like introducing the middle to the class I'd like to name the same junior Well, I introduced this on Friday night, and I deserve a big introduction. Do you remember? I close up, I blur, and the long distance away I blur. I can't see you without blurring from here with these. And see just as clear when they're off. But further out, I was sitting up in the In the other classroom upstairs, looking at the Hebrew on the board, and it's just, kind of, fuzz it in. And close up, this works just fine. Too close, uh-huh. Farsighted and nearsighted. Yes. So the doctor told me that 20-20 vision doesn't mean that your eyes are healthy. simply mean that you can read that kind of writing, 20 type writing. I didn't know that. I had 20 of those, zero out there. Yes. I can say these last three exactly like this. I can see you out in the yard. Yes. Well, as mine begin to pause like that, you know, if I get too close, And then if I get too far, he says because I've strained my eyes probably reading, probably maybe improper lighting, or just reading a lot. And he said he believed that if he'd give me the close-up lens, it would strengthen my eyes in the distance. Because I used to see a mile clear. I could read signboards way away. Okay, all right, so much for the glasses. There are no contradictions in Scripture. Well, let's review the definition. The principle under which the truthfulness and faithfulness of God become the guarantee that He will not set forth any passage in His Word which contradicts any other passage. That's refreshing to me. know that there is a biblical principle. I have found that in our studying out hermeneutics and studying out the requirements, because sometimes in studying out hermeneutics you get to a principle that you have to follow through and amplify, like for instance, that we are going to properly use the principle of the one that you can only receive the truth of it and understanding of scripture when you get the proper interpretation and then the application principle, I said, the application principle. You have to study our words in doing that. I think, like, historically and grammatically. But I have found that I've become more conscious all the time in teaching and preaching of these principles. They simply just fit right in, filter right in. put a lot of strain after you reinforce it for a while, it'll just flow right in. And you know, you recognize right as you go along that you're using a certain principle. You call on to answer a question right away. A principle comes to mind and how to deal with that. And it becomes so, so much more helpful in writing a divided and worthy truth. I'm again to share from time to time with my Bible class and the church these principles. share with them in order to write and provide the Word of God. You need certain principles of God. You've got to write down one from time to time. You've got to keep in mind. And I'd like to recommend that. Because otherwise they clamor things. A young man called me the other night and apologized for sharing with another young man. He's a new member and he's zealous and he read the Word a little bit. But he was trying to explain 1 Peter 3, 19 and 20, you know, about how he preached to those who were in prison. And I kind of goofed that up a little bit. So my brother came and asked me, what about it? And I said, well, you've been talking to right away. You've been somebody been. tamper around with him, because he's a sincere Bible student. And she said, well, another brother. And right away, this brother flashed through my mind. He's a young, zealous, young Christian, been saved by four years, but just got into the church. And so I had a chance to share with him how to write and divide that portion of Scripture. But people look at something on the surface and not look at it clearly, or not look at it in relationship. to another portion of scripture, or several other portions, and they get it out of context. And... Yes. Yes, that's right. So there are no contradictions in the scripture. There is an organic unity. There are sixty-six books, yet it is perfect unity as shown in structure, history, purpose, doctrine and theme, which is Jesus Christ. There are always critics who declare that the Bible is full of discrepancies, inaccuracies, contradictions, and errors. But the Bible is not a Bible of mistakes. And this is guaranteed by the God of truth and faithfulness. Psalms 119.90 and John 17.17. If the Bible is a book of errors, then we must reach one of two conclusions. A. The Bible is not God's book, for God is faithful. If it is God's book, then God is not faithful. Both these conclusions may be rejected. Numbers 23. Numbers 23, 19, Romans 3, 4, Deuteronomy 32, 4, and Titus 1, 2. There are a lot of books written by men which do not contain the truth and many commentaries on Scripture. Do not contain it. Amen to that. God is the author of the Bible through the Holy Spirit, and the Bible is a perfect unity, though ridiculed by many modernists. Yes? You know, they all maybe agree that the original had no error. You know, of course, you know, they say the Bible is from the past, but I'm sure everybody has this and that. And that doesn't seem to be where they're hung up on. Well, especially Southern Baptists. Yeah, or there are just some lobsters, you know. There are those different translations, you know, if it was in Arabic, and they say, well, Well, what that does is infers that the Holy Spirit is ignorant. That's right, that he would allow his word to get lost in antiquity. You think of the number of manuscripts and other particular things that the archaeologists and so forth are finding to not confirm the word but simply to complement and it is confirmed that's ridiculous the average if you found a book with a manuscript that is over 100 years old it's a very fortunate book 1,000 that's a oddity but the Bible have many many manuscripts but about 5,000 or manuscripts and different things like that from antiquity and not necessarily from the just the original but copies from that and the most ancient manuscripts and so forth but The thing is, is that God's Word is settled in heaven, and the Holy Spirit is very active in the world today, in the church and the life of believers. And he's not ignorant. I think this is also an assumption concerning, what about the heathen? I was talking with this college professor yesterday in black study class. And he says, is it just possible that a person can be saved apart from Christianity? And I said, no. And I gave him the reason. I said, God has given all men primary revelation through nature and history and conscience. But then his conscience Manifest that there is law. And when it does, he finds himself a violator of law. And it's not law that saves a man. It's Christ. Law shows him he's a sinner. The Ten Commandments, he said, I agree with you that the Ten Commandments and everything else is in other cultures and things, but that shows a man he's a sinner. That doesn't save him. By the deeds of the law, no flesh can be justified in this sight. It's by the deep knowledge of the law with sinners. And so that need, he has a need for saving then, and if he will not bow to the medicine man, or whatever it is, but keep seeking that thing, it's up to the Holy Spirit to send a missionary or bring him in contact with one who will preach the gospel. It's through the gospel of Jesus Christ that our men are saved. And at that time, he had to go to another class. He got pretty close for it, you know. He said he'll come to the church. He's from Athens. Well, yesterday. At State College, I spoke in a black studies class. I was invited to speak in a black studies class out at State University in Long Beach. I spoke in a pretty erotic class, but they were just little sheep yesterday. The word came down right across personal responsibility. That's how I introduced it. The student that invited me, a member of the church, she had a lot of apprehensions because some of them were pretty radical in the class, you know, they were afraid of the black man and different things like that. And so I introduced the things that I was going to talk about through personal responsibility. And that's a good way always, and the areas that we were not responsible for, for areas of my parents, our social background, our IQ, and our physical makeup. We were not responsible for those. So whenever anyone criticizes my skin color, that puts me at a disadvantage because I wasn't responsible for choosing. I wasn't responsible for my appearance, my IQ, and my social background, where I was born. But there are four other areas I am responsible for, and that's thoughts, worries, action, and attitudes. And when I think about myself, I'm responsible for that and what I think about others. And I laid that out on the board, you know. And it got inside of me, and then I moved from there into personal responsibility and went back and showed them where the origin of the races came from in Genesis 10. And it just wiped them totally out. They didn't know. The questions came across, and a fellow that was supposed to be the most radical asked two questions. And it quieted him down. And he just dealt with it on a personal responsibility. I understand he called himself a boob cat, and a handsome dude, you know, and all that. And I brought that out that we were responsible for our physical makeup. And when we take credit for what looks good or bad, then we're taking credit for something we were not responsible for. came to the genetic structure of my parents. And that's pride. And I indicated that, you know, I brought that out, and I really... Yeah, oh, that just shut every mouth, but the professor got interested. And so he took me to breakfast along with several of the students in the cafeteria, and he asked a question. He said he heard the student talking about being saved, and he... Could I explain to him exactly what that meant? So I ran to that door right away, you know, and I explained what the word means. It means to be rescued from peril in a basic, general sense, but in a theological sense, it means to be saved from peril, from eternal ruin, and from yourself. unto God, you know. So he asked that question, is it just possible that in the name of Moses, you know, he'd say that, he'd know that I'm aware that in other cultures there are religions and so forth like that. Is it just possible that those people could be saved? And I let her know that no, it was not possible according to the Word of God. Because there is only one Savior. In the class, our girl asked the leading question. She asked, she said, well, From what you said concerning the Tile of Babel, and when the Earth was divided, I said, thought come to my mind that everybody knew about God at one time. I said, you got it exactly. Everybody knew. But the Scripture says when they knew God as God, they would not worship Him as God, and they became vain in their imagination, and their foolish hearts were darkened. And they started worshiping the creature more than the Creator. And so, wandered away into false religion and things like that, and God chose one man out of the human race, and said through him a nation would be brought up and out of him a savior would be born and all the families on the earth would be blessed. And so that just really brought some things in together there. I told the professor I wish I had another hour, but it was time. Another class was standing outside waiting. They overstayed their time and invited me back. So they were hungry. One girl told me about the continental device and how God was going to bring it back together with an earthquake. And I asked them, well, are they ready? And I just set him up in that seat. And she got outside and she said, I heard you say something. I'd like to know more about it. So I explained to her, you know, that's future plans. Just opened the door up real wide. But this fellow, it was interesting to be able to share with that professor to see that he got caught as he listened, a very observant man. But he wanted to know if it were possible for someone else, someone to be saved apart from Christianity. And I let him know, I backed him down for that. I said, not Christianity, as you may assume it in the Western world or whatever it is, there's a system of church entity that is not Christianity. There's a system of Christianity that is without the Christian God. I said, but biblical Christianity is the method of salvation through Jesus Christ. No doubt, no doubt, but they got blown out of soccer right before some of the students. The Word of God has the answer, so no contradiction in the book. It's settled in heaven. The principles are infallible. You can't get around it, even though you try. If the book, and let's look at number B. I'm going to let somebody else read this. Mike, would you like to take that one, Mike Olson? examples of this principle. Disagreement principle is illustrated by Bible testimony on the topics of human disagreement. There are some things that are critical upon which a scripture is agreed, but on which human beings are disagreeing. Gathering of the Jews. Many say God is through with the Jews, and talk of the time of Israel will be the heads that entail. There will be disagreement among men, but not so in scripture. God's decree to offer the Bible concerning the dispersion of the gathering of Israel. The Old Testament and the New Testament both agree with this subject. Is the world going better or worse? People say it is getting better. It's part of the evidence of the cave corruption. Others say it's getting worse. No reason at all. The Bible is agreed upon in this subject as well, as it was in the days of Noah, as it was in the days of Lot. When the seven men come, the Lord will find faith in the earth. In the last days, a perilous time shall come. Some people seem to think the world will come back because the world is getting so big, but the truth is that the world is so corrupt that it must come back. Is that the post-millennials? There is a contrast between the writings of Paul and James. Paul says you are justified by faith. James says you are justified by works. But Paul is showing how the sinner is justified before God by faith. And James shows justification before and by works. God sees our faith, but when we say that we have faith and end up for works, we're screwed. Paul is talking about the fact of justification. James is about the proof of justification. And Paul is talking about the doctrine of justification. James is about the experience of justification. Take the next one, Brother Max. Read for accuracy and study the word of God. Never preach on the text until you've studied it in the light of your concordance. Let every word be your text. There are so many so-called heirs which will never be set forth by man, and every man more accurately. Some of the man's are there today. A man here, Chesapeake Bay, was a fisher of oysters and a Christian. He was a member of the NE Church and wanted the church to grant him a license to preach. Since he was very unlearned, the preacher kept putting him off. The last preacher said, that the next time the presiding elder came, he might preach and get the opinion of the presiding elder. In due time, his opportunity came, and he preached on the text, now art and religion. He had Lord Jesus out in the bay fishing for oysters. And he gave the invitation, four people responded. Afterwards, the preacher said to him, you made a terrible mistake. The woodwind preacher could not understand why. And then the preacher explained that the text should have read, thou art an oyster, an oyster man, an austere man. To which the man replied, what's the difference? for fish. Then I lost your bed. Asked me. OK. My goodness. The preacher of very little education once preached on the text. He took him and held him and let him go. I'm trying to explain how this was done. When a man in the audience called out, he took him and healed him and let him go. We need to be careful in reading the Bible. how these errors are made. Some prophecies were spoken, some were written, some were not spoken, some were both written and spoken. Matthew 27 and 9, which were spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, somebody hunts through the book of Jeremiah for this prophecy and cannot find it, and then we're located in Zechariah. This is proclaimed as another mistake in the Bible, and many explanations are offered. Hey, Matthew wrote from the memories, not the names of the men mixed up, and so wrote down Jeremiah instead of Zechariah." We'll just look at the pen, and the reason why Jeremiah was written instead of Zechariah. Jeremiah's name was used to indicate any one of the prophets, just as Ephraim was put in to indicate one of the tribes. Thirty pieces of silver were in another prophecy written by Jeremiah, which is now lost. The Word of the Lord says that Matthew knew who it was, but wrote Jeremiah instead of Zechariah to show us that it doesn't make any difference. It's wonderful. The fact of the matter is that Matthew does not say that Jeremiah wrote it, but says that Jeremiah spoke it. The Holy Spirit is not limited to written statements. he could tell just as well what Jeremiah said as he could tell Moses what the devil said. Zechariah wrote what Jeremiah spoke. It's very important to notice what is said. It's spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah. And yet it shows up in another book. That's a very important piece of information there on the need for accuracy in the word of God. Go right ahead. But the people of Thessalonica were waiting for the sun, so the verse says. Some say that they were not waiting for the sun, but for the spirit. That the coming of the sun and the coming of the spirit were the same thing. These poor people of Thessalonica, then, were waiting for something that had already happened. For the spirit came at a time cost. And this they take issue with the Lord Jesus, because He said He was sending another. Some say that they were waiting for death. Others that the coming of the Lord took place when Jerusalem was overthrown. Any view will be taken except the truth of the Lord's return. They were waiting for the sun. They were looking for the coming of the Lord. It was evident. That marks a kind deed noted. The word then is an important word. It indicates the time. This verse does not apply to the church at all. Verses 16 through 24 explain it as having to restorate. And 24.9, the words are immediately after the tribulation. Give the key to this verse. This is a very important area. Immediately after the tribulation. Let marks of place be noted. Wilkins, concerning the Ascension of the Lord, compares Luke 24-51 and Acts 1-9-12, saying that Luke, in the Gospel of Luke, says that Christ ascended from Bethany, and Acts says He ascended from the Mount of Olives. He points this out as a mistake in the Bible, and says that since these records differ, there is a question to whether He ascended at all. There is no question about this at all, since Bethany is on the slope of the Mount of Olives. And Christ could not ascend from Bethany without ascending from Mount of Olives. Sinai and Borav, the four of them, are the same. Antioch, be sure to differentiate between them. Ramah, there are five of them. Dean Stanley, in his Smith's Dictionary of the Bible, coincides with Stephen's discourse in Acts, the seventh chapter. We must be convinced first, of all, and once and for all, that the Bible is the book of God. Mark 7 and 13. The Jews put their traditions before the Word of God. The Catholics put their church before the Word of God. The Mormons put their book before the Bible. Christian science puts the science of health before the Bible. But the words of the Lord are pure, and these are the words of the Holy Ghost. Holy Spirit teaches. Dean Stanley says in Stephen's address in Acts 7, there are twelve discrepancies at least, either by variation or addition. Does the Holy Spirit not have the right to make an addition if He wants to do so? Who are we to question Him? An addition is not a contradiction. In his criticism, Stanley, it says, it shows that Stephen handled the Scriptures carelessly. And his idea in criticizing is to blast away the foundation of truth and the inspiration of the Scripture. And here are a few of the so-called mistakes. I feel very good. Blast them away. Yes, blast them away. It'd be interesting to study those particular assertions. and to see how, when the Word of God is not accurately looked upon with spiritual discernment, I can miss very important key words or phrases or overall view or connecting view with other portions of Scripture. You can explore those in our receipt for yourself. Brother Michael, my medic, would you please read the key? Further examples of the use of this principle, Psalms 88 and 4, one man says that Adam is not a dead, but is not dead. And so the Bible is not true. Adam is not dead, the Bible is not true. One Bible student has said that when a man makes a statement concerning a contradiction in the Bible, I always go to the Word of God to see whether or not it's fair. And this is the case. God is comparing a man who does not hear the Word of God to a serpent who does not listen to the music of the sunshine at the start of the year. God is talking to the people who speak so they do not hear it, and they are not getting what He wants. He made his father's house free in Israel. 5950 is a little bit concrete. Even though it's contradictory, they're complementary. Both statements are true under the conservative standards, in the context of the following discipline. Neutrality is sometimes as deadly as opposition. And again, sometimes neutrality means oppression. Suppose there is a charge against you, and I know you're innocent, I think it's silent. My neutrality is instant. The enemy is a charge against you. I know you're guilty. I'm going to draw this for you. In 950, the question is, is there any service while this man is not banished? It's not working. It is a question of warfare between slaves. Yes. That's not going. No, that's not going to work. We're OK. I'm sorry. It's all right. It was the right. All right. Yeah. This is it. Relation 6.2 says, bury one, bury one of the burdens. And then in 6.5, every man is to bury no burdens. These refer to two kinds of burdens. There are some burdens which you can help them to bear, such as sorrow, fear, envy. There are other burdens, such as duty and responsibility, which you're not to destroy. 6.2 refers to burdens. 7.3, 6.5, to burdens of responsibility. Can you take notes? Prabhup�da, 6.5. That's a good point concerning responsibility. If you take another person's responsibility, you have a tendency to overburden yourself and worry. It creates worry. Worry comes from taking responsibility that's not really yours. If you worry about the future, who does the future belong to? God. You're taking God's responsibility. noticing the great lack of leadership in our churches today. And it's because preachers, pastors, deacons have a misguided notion that they're supposed to go around and do everything. And they take other people's responsibility unless we have weak churches. That's right. Yeah, well, this is what I'm saying. I'll point an example that's not really that absurd. Yeah, sure. Right. But the fact is true. We have weak churches primarily because we have weak families. And weak families because we have weak fathers and husbands in those families. And weak fathers and husbands because the leadership in the church is not developing leadership for the home. Which would bring a strong church. Churches are built from people who come from home. in the place of worship, but I agree that it seems like the big majority of members, either they don't care, or they're old, and they've been saved a long time, and they get intruded, and the same thing happens in the city. But these other churches, the universal type churches, they They seem to have a lot more. Leadership leadership workshops. Yeah. So they blame it on being built up. And I know that's. Well, that's the key in the cycle. And we can see that that's the mandate of scripture. Paul said to Timothy, what I've committed unto you, teach unto other men, faithful men, that they in turn may teach others, you see, in the teaching program. And it may be good for you to, each of you, to think upon that particular theme of the program of teaching. What is it all about? What's the purpose of it? I'm so burdened with the bill of leaders, the cross for the bill of leaders. And that's responsibility. The Lord laid it upon us to teach others that they in turn may teach others. In other words, the teaching process must be so that others will grasp the truth, not just come to listen to us, but that they will be able to take that message and share it with others. Yes. There you go. There you go. Instead of teaching them, instead of making every decision for them, teach them how to think. That's right. Make them think. That's right. And hold them accountable to think with projects. You know, I'm always making people think of church. I'll ask questions constantly. I appreciate that. I have two young people come to me last night and said, we want you to ask us a few questions. I'll nurse him along for a while and then I'll let him solo. I'll give you a project. It's a good way to lessen your counseling load, too, if you've got people. Give them a project and work on this for two weeks or 30 days and then come back. Now, don't call me unless it's just a question on the project. I said, I'm going to call you back to the project. And whether it's memorizing scriptures or studying a thing now, that's how you develop this, OK? Take your pen and quarters and go all the way down and find every word on love. If you're having a problem, love it. And then, you know, memorize an X number of verses on it so that you can have reinforcement when you find this attitude rising up in you that is opposite of love, selfishness, and so forth. Dick Sullivan is a very fresh character that I find that I appreciate. He was trying to communicate to me when he said that he was so saddened by the fact that it was so necessary to wipe the noses of God's people. He said, I'm tired and I'm going to stop wiping noses. and it sounds awful always, but for you, it's just trying to get across that our churches are weak. Yes. Because the preachers and the past have misguided notions of leadership that the Lord Jesus brought out. We're doing everything, and the church would be willing to sit back and let the preachers and the deacons run the whole show. Yes. Whatever you want to do. Right, do all the witnessing and everything else. Whatever you want to do, Be a dictator, as long as we can say to you when you're going too far, you know, and then mess up your system, you see. Well, of course, anything will grow if you're involved. See, if the energy is not in the body, then we're going to say that it's all in the head. And what we have done is become top-heavy so often by not distributing the information in the body, which takes labor, teaching and admonishing day and night, that you might present every man mature in Christ. That's what Paul said concerning the Colossian church, that you might present every person. That's work, gentlemen. But it's a rewarding work. If you labor toward it, the time you invest in a person, you should call that person to accountability for. Teach them. Give them steps. Break the word down. But they require them to resolve it back. Test. I think test is one of the finest instruments. Boy, you know, my folks holler when a test comes. But they, you know, I love them. Love to see them scream when I've taught them something they haven't put a test before. I don't care. I simply just, oh, ooh, because they know they want to leave. And now they have to use their minds to recall what has been taught. Don't leave out the law of review and application in your ministry. And the test is one good way to do it. And in taking people out on visitation, I found that if I backed off by 1973 and started teaching the church so that they could be fully equipped and so forth, there's become a tendency to kind of, you know, sit back and teach it. I was highly active in taking people, a person to say, either train someone and let them go out with them or I'd take them out personally. As a man, I prefer just taking them out with me personally. Letting them get a baptism of the experience of what the world was really like and their needs and witnessing. And now that would convert him. He'd be solidly fixed in there, or he'd be ready to go right away, and it wouldn't bother him. You know, the problem of trying to teach him, and then he'd fail later on. Wouldn't be a problem if he didn't want to see what the needs of the world was. But I want to start doing that more. I'm urging my people to share. And what I plan to do is team folk up in a team. and assign them a whole month of visitation and call upon each one of those teams to report. I mean, a trained person in Seoul, Winnie, and one who is not trained. And have some classes along with it to get it back active again. Yeah. I spent, let's see, two weeks, both at 12 o'clock noon to 1.30, and from 6 to 7.30, or several years ago, and trained 42 people who came to the meeting. And so in two weeks, every day, they came to the church so that you could have both shifts, your work shifts coming. And 42 people attended and finished the course. All of them are not there now, but we have our ongoing training program of how to do soul winning after one goes through the class of assurance and the class of the God-man, Christ the God-man of Christology. And then they go into our soul winning class on techniques. And then from there until advanced class, they have 10 weeks courses each in BTC. Our Baptist training class, our better trained Christians, our better trained church, BTC, the one of them we use. And then on the alternate, every other Sunday night, they go out on visitation from the advanced class. So we have an ongoing outreach program and in-reach program. through that advanced highest, as well as those being taught who are new in the faith coming on up to advance to that place, and then they're sharing as they can in their own daily experiences, but there's a planned program in the church to teach them how. How can they know except to mention? Yes. But it's quite biblical for us to train, to teach faithful men that they in turn may teach others. You can't preach the gospel without teaching an element in it. There's a teaching element in preaching. You have to be able to go from the known to the unknown. You have to be able to have a common language and so forth. You have to know the subject that you're going to share with people. Let's not, if we can, and I know that you pastors, I sympathize with you who have had to go into a system already structured. I haven't had that experience. It's tough enough starting from the ground up and training the people up. But from my pastoral experiences, that was true. I was doing mission work before I knew that that was the proper way of doing it. And my first experience was in Wilmington. Started two and building the congregation up to 108 months, preaching on the street. Now, every night and a week, sometimes preaching on the street and seeing people converted and then bringing them into a place, renting a house where they can be taught the basic doctrines of scripture. And I just didn't understand what the nature and doctrine and origin of the church was at that time. But I certainly knew what justification was. what salvation was, and I was teaching them the basic things about scripture. But then the second work was in Long Beach, and it had been built up to over 120 before I came in as ABA. But I know the heart of mission work. I wasn't afraid to do mission work before I knew how to do it scripturally. But I can say this, that the teaching process and the preaching process has to be of such nature that we give responsibility to others to help do it. I was doing it all, and I learned my lesson earlier, that you don't do it all. It was better to reproduce yourself through ten people that you trained. I learned that in Long Beach, through experience. And so I backed off and began to teach people so that others, the first outreach program started with four people. Just going out, knocking on doors, passing out some tractors, and from there it grew. From there my understanding of the commission grew. And it's just been a real rewarding experience to see many people now coming into the kingdom of God through the church. Not through just the pastor. But through the church, they bring the counseling problem. If there's somebody with a difficulty that needs to be removed, they recommend that person to me, and I get enough of that. I share it as I meet people. But the church is winning the souls. Ninety percent of the people I baptize are the members of the church who want them to the Lord. You know, it used to be that only the preachers knew that dynamic message, and the Pope would walk in the aisle, you know? I've sat up to midnight arguing with other preachers that that's not the way it's done. And they say, you've got to hear that dynamic preaching. Well, what is preaching? The spoken communication of divine truth with a view to persuade. And any child of God that's speaking with that view is the Word of God preached to men and saints. Not just through me, who is the professional. Who ever heard of the general winning all the battles? It's a soldier that goes there. You know what I say sometimes in the church? When people visit, the person next to you can share with you how to be saved. And if not, they can tell you who can. Right in the congregation. Sometimes I'll dismiss the service without an invitation. And say, if you want to be saved, ask the person next to you how to be saved. You'd be surprised. A lot of folks have been saved out of the service. There's some member asking them, are you saved? And they say, no. And then take them aside and show them what it means to know the Lord. First of all, put them on your train and put them on the spot. All right. All right. That's it. You see, which is very clear. Well, there's a pharmaceutical thing is, is that we must come back to relevance. Paul said, I become all things to all men. By any means, I might be to some. I think that, again, back to this area of responsibility, bearing one another's burden. I think that's where we stop. We've got to tie it up there, but that's good. That's applying the principle. We'll come back tomorrow for more.
