Morning. It's good to see.
All you guys to. Be up here again, it's been a
little while since. I was able to preach and I was
excited that I was. Able to fit in right at the end
here to the book. Of Titus it's.
One of my. Favorites to read and go through
personally. And you know, with what we're
going to get into this morning, as I was even telling Cole, it's
kind of. Different to preach a.
Message like this. To your pastor.
To to open and not not because I'm calling him out in any way
by any means. Yeah, right.
It could. But typically I'd be like, Hey,
I want, I want him to preach, preach this to me.
So it also like we've been what we're you said 16 weeks.
So it'll be 18 total 18 weeks. Total through Titus.
And really, I mean, as we've been going through this.
It's a really short book. I mean, I, I just got, had to
get a new lawn mower and my owner's manual is longer than
the book of Titus and I, you know, I zipped through that
thing and I'm, well, I didn't read the whole thing, you know
that. But anyways.
So so it it. Stands out to me how short it
is, but how long we've drawn it out.
Which is just this picture of when we open God's word there is
just. Immense.
Treasure that we can dig through and sift through to get to
exactly. What we want to see.
What? What is God's picture?
And so in the book of Titus, and we're going to be in chapter 3,
I'm going to talk about a couple things, then we'll get into it
and pray so. Right, so we've got this, this
church in Crete. There's as Cole said.
These individual. Like households are churches.
Of 10 to 30 individuals and. Paul is writing this letter to
Titus because. He knows that these Cretan
Christians had been. Overexposed to.
A number of men who said they were they were representing God,
but it wasn't the. Case because they are false
teachers, they're. Creating so much chaos and so
much confusion in all these. Individual churches with these.
Christians that in chapter one verse.
Five, he says. He's going to appoint elders in
every city to bring. Order to what's?
What's going on? So he walks through, He tells
Titus. He reminds him of the godly
character of the men that need to be in the position that to
look. Like to.
Exemplify the life of an elder and then he says different
things to avoid. He lists out all of.
The different things in verses 10 through 16 of chapter 1.
Of the false teacher. Sins and he even.
Says he he. He hits him in the head and he
says. To the pure.
All things are. Pure to the defiled.
And unbelieving nothing is. Pure but both their.
Minds and their consciences. Are defiled.
They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works.
They're detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work.
And so there's this. This picture right he's.
We're looking at. A group of people.
Who have been under what they're thinking is.
The word what they're. Thinking is truth.
But it's actually. Wolves in sheep's clothing.
These guys were. Unfit for any good work and.
Because good deeds right there. So they're unfit for any good
work and when the world. Looks at us.
And they look at what we're doing and and.
See our good deeds? That's where we're able.
To make so much of our evangelistic.
Our our out world world. Appearance impact.
Is by our our. Transformed lives.
So Paul's concerned because this.
Crete in church This church in Crete.
Isn't looking. To the outside world.
Appealing it's looking. Like the?
Rest of the island of of Crete which is full of mercenaries and
pirates and people living opposite.
Of what God's picture would be like.
And so let's read. Out of Titus chapter. 3 verses 9
through 11 if you'd stand if you're able to, and get into
this morning's text. But avoid foolish.
Controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and.
Quarrels about the law. For they are unprofitable and
worthless. As for a person who stirs up
division after warning him once and then twice have nothing more
to do with him. Knowing that such a person is
warped and sinful, he's self condemned.
So so. Great are the benefits.
Of what was. Previously said our knowledge
and response. To God's grace.
That Paul now wants to make. Clear that there.
Should be no other. Priorities that.
Creep in our ministry so you can be seated and.
Let me just pray for for us. As we get into this here.
Lord. We need your help this morning
to to come to your word in a manner where we're willing to
push aside our own thoughts and our own ways of how we think,
think necessarily that things should be in order, not only in
our own hearts, but in our church and I just.
Pray that you. Would help me to.
To be clear here that that the heart of.
Wanting to bring unity around the right things to.
Look at you clearly. What would be the things that
come out of my mouth and that you would just.
Allow us to. Abound in love and.
Be pure before you so that. Not only is our church
functioning healthy, and it's. Beautiful, but also we're.
Seen. To the outside world as
beautiful because of what? You've done for us in Jesus
name, Amen. So as I preached through these
verses. This morning I want you to see
and feel. Really like how opposite.
This is going to. Be to our Western culture.
So it it it. Pictures a way of thinking and
living that most of our fellow Americans would consider
offensive and unloving or fundamentalistic.
Or out of date. Because it's mainly a text
calling for vigilance and matters of truth and doctrine.
But it's not only that, actually.
So in an unassuming way. It's also a unity.
Text. So the goal of the.
Vigilant for right teaching. Is to avoid Christ.
Belittling and self exalting dissension.
And so my hope in preaching from verses 9 through 11.
Is that? That you'll be freed from any
blindness that you have. Or.
Being chained to anything that's diminishing the truth in your
life and especially in the period time period that we live
in. So I so I pray that.
Because of this freedom, you know what it does mean to not
only love your brothers and sisters in Christ, but.
Also to love your. Enemies and that too.
We would have fresh. Power from the gospel to magnify
Christ in showing that love and stand firm in the truth.
So that. I'm showing my.
Cards, that's that's where. I'm coming from this morning and
so in verse 9. He says avoid Foolish.
Controversies, genealogies, ascensions and quarrels about
the law for the unprofitable and.
Worthless the 1st. Command.
Right off the bat is avoid. So the sense here is a continual
turning away from. It's very active.
It mean it literally means turn your back from someone or
something and so. See here that the responsibility
that we have to false teachers is to turn our back.
And walk away from them and shun them because God has something.
Greater for us, right, because this is unprofitable and
worthless. So Paul gives us four different
ways that this false. Teaching is there and in within
each one of. These there's actually a tool.
That I'm hope, attest, in fact, that I want to.
Give you so that. You can have this in your tool
belt as you're even listening to my preaching this morning.
So the. The first thing he mentions is
foolish. Controversies.
It's really like. Being a moron.
So moronic arguments. That's what that that word
really means. It's so it's those matters and.
Perspectives that are plainly not.
Of the text. And they can really be put down
as an opinion or something that matters.
Literally the Gospel and the. Purpose of God.
'S inspired word. So it's.
More in line with putting things into into the scriptures rather
than pulling it out and so. What what a false teacher does.
And sometimes, unknowingly, I'll I'll admit they always want to
attack the sound. Theology of the Church.
Especially with what's been historically true and affirmed
and traditional. For the last. 2000 years.
So with their controversial. Teaching and new insights.
They spread seeds of false. Doctrine and lead believers into
confusion and sin. So this gives the first Test of
the doctrine test OK test. #1 the Doctrine.
Test, Paul told Titus. In chapter 1 verse 9, he says
the elders must hold firm to the trust for.
Word. The word is taught so that.
He may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine
and also. To rebuke.
Those who contradict it. So what we need to?
Do is measure the doctrines that are being taught by the sound?
Words of Jesus Christ. And their implications for
godliness. So get suspicious.
Anytime anyone kind of uses an argument and says something
maybe of like well Jesus never talked about and fill in the
blank. Because that should.
Sound off your alarm bell because that person is either
intentionally or unintentionally ignorant of the true teaching
and unwilling to look at what. Jesus has said and.
Apply it to again, fill in the blank issue and then the second
thing, Paul. Says to avoid is.
Genealogies. So what what these false
teachers would be? Doing in this time as they'd be
reading into genealogies. And he's not saying don't, don't
read genealogies in the Old Testament or in Matthew and
Luke. He's not saying don't do that
today. But what they're doing is they
would read these. Genealogies and they would put
all kinds of wild. And crazy allegories add.
Different myths to them stories and pull it out maybe even
project some some people as being more and better than they
were so from that we. Can see it with a false teacher
what they'll have. Is this kind of secret teaching
that's hasn't been available to everyone else?
Right. So it's it's.
They have the answer to something that nobody else has
thought of in the last 2000 years.
I mean, frankly, my message, what we're going through this
morning has been preached probably thousands of times.
It's none. None of these ideas are new.
It's just can be said in a different way and it can hit our
hearts in a different way. So really, this idea of secret.
Teaching to combat that the second test.
Is the scripture test. OK, so in Titus again chapter
one, verse 14. So he says, not devoting
themselves to. The people to Jewish.
Myths and the commands of people who turn away.
From the truth, so. To not devote.
Ourselves to this, so the apostles.
Elevated their teaching. To the level of a test of truth,
so. If a person does not submit his
thinking as and his teaching to the.
Authority of the apostles which the apostles were the the
teachers who? Wrote the New Testament.
Then they're not going. To be reliable teachers.
They're not falling in line with.
All of scripture. And it doesn't mean that they're
not going to say true things. OK, because everybody says true
things. From time to time, even Satan
does. But because of the scripture
test if it. Isn't in line with.
God's Word. It doesn't make somebody a
reliable teacher, so your alarm bell should go off.
If a teacher is. Using some obscure passage with
loony interpretations that and secret interpretations that
nobody. 'S thought of before because.
They're falling under this. Idea they they have the secret
answer. And so.
Right to to. Be able to run the scripture.
Test you have to. Be in scripture.
So. We're we're at a point in the in
the. Have you guys heard of the
winter? Lock in.
Anybody heard of that? It's it's really.
Being pushed out on social media right now, the.
Idea is well. I'm going to lock in for the
winter because then in the new year I'm, I'm set to go with all
my goals and my ambitions and, and everything like that.
Well, that's it's kind of cool that people are doing that.
And this is even Christians that I'm talking.
About but. What I think of the new year is
always like, oh man, I'm going to start my new Bible reading
plan on January. 1st lock. In right I'm locked in and I got
7 days in a row and on the. 8th day shoot.
And then it turns into falling off the the path, right?
I think, I mean, I'm guilty of it happens to me so.
I don't I don't share that to like to cause.
Shame in you, but I want you. To see like OK.
There's there's not going to be perfection in this scripture.
Idea, but you have to. Be in.
Scripture be reading scripture. So say you missed the 8th
through the 22nd day of your plan, Just get back into it on
the. 35th Day. And and maybe it's.
You. You, you're not.
You haven't read your Bible in one year and followed that plan,
but. Maybe it's 2 that's.
Fantastic, because what God? Will do with that is.
Put you in a position where you. Have the scriptures.
To run through truth. In the right way to subject this
to truth. OK, so now the third thing.
Paul mentions his dissensions, so just.
This idea of. Constant friction and trouble
and contention and constantly battling around the truth, maybe
even trying to be divisive and conceited.
There's pride underneath it. It's it's men who.
Attack the historic truth of God's Word and try to stir up
battles. Which eventually are designed to
destroy the confidence and security and sense of faith that
we can have in the truth of the. Gospel.
So the third test. I'd pull from that.
Would be the fruit test. In Titus again chapter one verse
16, it says they profess to know God, but they deny him by their
works. They're detestable, disobedient,
unfit for any good work. So with the fruit test.
It's looking at what result does the message.
Have in people's lives. So what spiritual fruit?
Is being produced. Being a father of Jesus means
progressively transforming into his image, not the image.
Of whatever the picture is of the day for for the Cretans, it
was you could say like it was the deity of the day they're
they were looking. More like the outside.
World these Greek gods and goddesses that were being.
Worshipped in the culture. Is the with the fruit?
Is it? Producing something that's just
affirming your own desires and two, Jesus says that you'll know
my. Followers by their fruit.
So your alarm bells should go off when being asked to not
affirm normal, traditional, historical.
Orthodox views of the. Bible's teaching on various sins
and what? The fruits look like That's the
fruit test. And then the the fourth thing he
mentions is. Quarrels about the law.
Now these guys were demanding that non non Jewish Christians
be circumcised and follow the Torah as a means of salvation.
So. The the 4th test is the Gospel
test. It's the test of the gospel
itself and the gospel that Paul. Has in mind when he.
Said that avoiding quarrels about the law, it's the gospel
of justification. By faith alone, apart from works
of the law. So right before.
Verse 9 and verses in. Chapter 3 of Titus.
Here in verses. 4 through. 7. It reads.
But when the goodness and loving kindness.
Of God, our Savior appeared. He saved us not because of works
done by us in. Righteousness He saved.
Us not. Because of the law.
But according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration
and renewal of the. Holy.
Spirit whom he poured out on us. Richly through Jesus Christ our
Savior, so that being justified by his grace.
We might become heirs. According to the Hope.
Of eternal life and so it's not an adding to.
For salvation, it's a looking. To Jesus and relying on him for
salvation. And it's it's, it's the sense
of. Of.
Avoiding fighting over those things as well.
So. Alarm bells should go off in
your. Head if a different.
Gospels preach. Let me expound on that a little
bit more, because many dangerous doctrines doctrines contradict.
The Gospel today. Some argue the gospel.
Is about trusting. God to bring about.
Worldly prosperity. Others suggest it's possible to
accept Jesus as your savior. While ignoring his claim to.
Lordship over your life. Some are pushing for a
different. Sexual.
Ethic ignoring both the Scriptures and the 2000 years of
Christian moral and theological teaching, others might preach
that Christianity boils down to serving others or fighting for.
Social justice, which both of. Those things are good, right?
But they they don't say anything about sin or atonement.
So dangerous options come in different shapes and sizes, but
they have something I've heard called heretical math.
So it's adding to, subtracting from, multiplying, dividing.
The gospel that's. The common denominator?
For the false teachers. Looking at the gospel.
So there's four tests. Again, to run so we can avoid
foolish controversies, genealogies, ascensions and
quarrels about the lies. The the fruit of behavior, the
test of. Sound doctrine, the test of
submission to Scripture, and the test of teaching the pure gospel
of justification and faith. Those are four tests.
To run through whenever you're hearing any preaching or
teaching and so as we move into verse 10 and 11 I want you to
notice there's a shift in language because now I'm.
I'm still talking about. We're still talking.
About avoiding false. Teachers, but it's also.
Now set to include a person, so a church person or church
member. Verse 10 reads As for a person
who stirs up division after warning him once and then twice
have nothing more to do with him.
So there's two aspects to this verse.
OK, that and 1 is a little hidden off of that initial.
Reading like I think. When I'm when I'm reading this.
Right pursue stirs up. Division we skip the middle have
nothing more to do with him. That's our culture today.
Chances I'm, I'm guessing, is when we start talking about
division, you're probably thinking about something
politically. He's not talking about that
here. Those you have to see that.
In your own heart, in your own mind are entering the.
Text here. OK, so there's two aspects.
In this verse, the 11 is division.
OK. But the other one is Unity.
Because Paul could have left out.
After warning him once and then twice, but he includes it and
that would thanks. Like why?
Why does he want to include that in here?
And it's because he wants to remind us.
Of the proper, yeah, the proper church discipline process.
OK, so. I'm going to refer now to
Matthew. Chapter 18.
Verses 15 through 17, and I think I should be able to have
them up here on the board. So in Matthew 18.
This is Jesus talking. This is what he says.
So 15 through 17. So if your brother sins against
you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone.
If he listens to you, you have gained your.
Brother, but if he. Does not listen.
Take one or two others along with you that.
Every charge may be established by the.
Evidence of two or three witnesses.
If he refuses. To listen to him.
Tell it to. The church.
And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you
as a Gentile and tax collect. Collector.
And I was saying I read this. I want to be.
Really clear. OK, I want to be.
Really clear that. As I'm talk, we're talking about
this division. The church.
Discipline it's for. Those who call.
Themselves Christians or those who are our church members.
This is not direction on how to look at somebody who's not a
Christian. Or part of the outside.
World, that's not what this direction is for and I'll I'll
get into that and a little bit. Here, yeah, but I.
I do want to be. Clear that you're seeing.
It in that way because if not. This is super easy to read.
And say, all right, Frontier Church, we're going to create.
Our little bubble. We're going to only focus on
Christians and we're not going to look at the outside.
World. And invite them in.
And that's not what he's getting into.
And so why? Would Paul tell Titus to follow
this process? And it might be best to answer
this question first in. Regards to the opposite.
And this is right from Frontier Church's documents even how
everybody answer this question. OK, so.
The goal of church. Discipline is not discipline.
Discipline is only a means towards a greater end.
So the ultimate goal of church discipline is to gain a brother.
And when this is the goal, then love is the motivation
underneath it. So when love is the motivation
of discipline, we're imitating. God and so we.
Kind of need a. Little bit of a.
Crash course on church membership.
What does that look like? Because this is for the church.
Members so in membership. The church body.
The pastor and elders are saying to the individual, we recognize
your professional faith and discipleship.
To Jesus as valid. OK.
Therefore, we publicly. Affirm and acknowledge you
before the nations as belonging to Christ, and we extend our
oversight and fellowship. To you.
Come be a member, and then on the flip side, the individual.
Says to the church. In as much as I am looking at
you. As a faithful gospel.
Preaching gospel, declaring church, I submit my presence and
my discipleship to your love and.
Oversight. So the.
Church member is willing to come up, come under.
Because the elders. Are in a place of pursuing
truth, looking at following God's word to come under that,
and if sin is called out, willing to submit.
To whatever the steps. Are in line with.
That because they're. A Christian and are willing.
To to to look. And say OK.
I don't see. Where where I'm in the wrong?
Maybe they don't see where they're in the wrong yet, but
they're willing to. To follow the process to get
there or. They recognize and and repent,
right? And so as.
A church moves towards church discipline.
It will often find self acing real life situations that are
complex and I I want to be sensitive that and there's not.
An exact case study. And I I can't get into all those
things right right now, but. To help kind of sift through
the. Different layers of
circumstances it's not always going to be clear whether formal
church discipline is required or how long the.
Process should take or. If somebody's truly repentant,
so on and so forth. OK, so so that and so and as a
congregation and. It's always complex issues.
Coming up. But what?
We're called to do is above all else to.
Guard the name and the glory of Jesus Christ, because
fundamentally church discipline. Is about the reputation.
Of Christ and whether or not the church can continue to the
affirm the verbal profession of someone.
Whose life mischaracterizes Christ completely so the.
Sins and circumstances of sin will vary tremendously, but this
one question always needs to be in the forefront of.
Our thoughts. So how?
Will the Sinner sin and our response?
To it reflect the holy love of Christ.
So how will it reflect Christ's love?
To gain a brother back in. Because to care about the
reputation of Christ is to care about the.
Good of non Christians too because when churches.
Failed to practice. This self-discipline to.
Practice this process. Ball ways out, they begin to
look. Like the world, that's exactly
what was happening. To the Korean Christians,
they're looking. Just like the world.
And because they were looking like the world there was nothing
about. Their churches, that was.
Looking. Positive that was looking.
Beautiful to the outside world looking in.
They're slowly dying so have nothing to do.
With the divisive person. Divide from them.
Why? Because the divisive person is
the one who departs from the truth, and we want to gain them
back. As a brother.
And. Paul couldn't.
Even say here, well, nobody has all the truth and everybody.
Has a piece of. It and unity is more important
than the truth. So don't divide and we would
say. Well, that impulse would feel
right. And sound right, right?
Because Unity. Is a good thing.
But when a person. Departs from the doctrine that.
The apostles had taught. Paul sees this as a greater
threat to. Unity than the disunity.
Caused by. Avoiding the peace people.
So if we say. How can that be?
How can be? How can dividing from someone
who rises up in the church promote unity in the church?
And the answer is that only unity, the only unity that
counts for unity in the church, is rooted in a common sound
biblical teaching. And the pattern of sound
biblical teaching that I'm talking about is a faithful
summary of biblical essentials determined by how.
Crucial they are. In expressing and explaining the
history of redemption, the nature and condition of man, the
nature and work. Of Christ.
The nature and work of the Holy Spirit and the nature and work.
Of God the Father. And truthfully, one of the
biggest challenges in this. Quest for Unity.
Is deciding what belongs in this body of doctrine when Paul says
if someone departs from it have nothing to do with them?
But. Not before following.
Jesus words to to. Gaining your brother back
because avoiding someone doesn't just mean stop caring about him
or stop praying for him or even stop talking to them.
Necessarily because Jesus says right so.
I'm back in in Matthew 18 here. Yeah, Matthew 18.
He. Says to treat.
Let him be to you as a gentile and a tax.
Collector. We still want to invite the
Gentiles and tax collectors into.
The service, right? To be submitted under.
God's Word, we. We just cannot go on living
acting as if nothing happened if if nothing changed, right?
We can't like, go bowling and talk to them like.
Hey, you're still a. Christian, you're still in this
this same manner and I think that.
This is where it can get difficult.
For us to kind of see. Where?
Division can come in in our culture to be a Christian who if
we're looking to affirm traditional, historical and
Orthodox. Views of the.
Bible's teaching on various sins.
Because if we're. Doing that, we're always accused
of being just divisive when sticking to the Bible's act.
Well, when sticking to the new affirmations, they must.
Disassociate with those. Who don't?
So if you're in a conversation and and object, it's often said.
To you right like. You're objecting to a specific
sin. You're singling out this
particular sin as being over important, and it's more
important than than you at Unity, but it's not.
Because those who protest. And they're singing out
particular sins. They're the ones bringing in the
the division. They're the ones saying.
Well, did God really say? Fill in the blank.
They're the ones that are that are causing the sticking point,
not sticking to. The to the true doctrine to
God's Word. So it's within this, it's, it
isn't always those. Who believe the Bible?
When it says sin is sin that are being divisive.
It's those who are. Introducing that the idea that
some sins are aren't. So if you push.
Division on something that innovates on the Bible's
testimony. You're creating the division.
So division begins with that. First departure the the 1st.
Stepping away from the original agreement, this.
Is the truth. The the original truth.
So then it's necessary for Christians to walk.
Away from a divisive person because the relationship can't.
Continue in the same way. And so you move in a way
relationally towards them of prayer and of sharing the truth
and trying to draw them back in because they've moved away from
from the truth. And Paul finishes in Titus here
in verse 11 saying, knowing that.
The Divisive. Person is warped and sinful.
He's self condemned, so he's self condemned.
Because he's. Insisting on a different type of
gospel, not the gospel the the law, keeping the not a not a way
of. Justification before God,
because if you have to, keep all the laws if you have to.
Keep these certain things. You have to keep it perfectly.
And you can't keep it perfectly. So you've condemned yourself and
really the reason we have to be so diligent over biblical?
Doctrine is that. Those who depart from it take
people with them and through being by being nice.
With pleasant speech. And really, it presents itself
as a blessing. Because you should see that.
False teachers aren't going to to.
Pull you. In, they're not going to.
Pull, pull people. Toward them by being rough and
harsh right I think when we. Read through Titus.
And. Look at it, there's a picture
that these false teachers are. Have little horns on their head
or like there's fire behind them as they're preaching and
teaching. It's really easy to project that
image. But.
Do you really think so? That Paul says that.
They're the teaching was upsetting whole families by
teaching for shameful gain what they not what they shouldn't.
Do you really think that whole families were being pulled into
this teaching because it was really harsh and rough?
That that just. Isn't going to be the case.
And so that means that for us, it's.
Not going to be possible. It's not going to be popular to
resist. False teaching in a church in
the sense of it looking. Super harsh or rough, but it
probably will be. Look like it's bringing a
blessing and not and not a curse, so it's so important.
Because a divisive person. Is warped and sinful, and it's
not always just a simple intellectual mistake behind.
The the Good speech. Behind the nice things, it's
going to can be a really smooth, nice demeanor and it's leading
towards idolatry. It's leading towards Christ.
Diminishing errors. It's leading towards worldly
passions. It's leading towards the things
that we want to affirm that are worldly and not Christ like.
And so. As I think about this text.
And as we're we're getting towards the end here, I really
want to. Call us to two.
Things being vigilant and and having self examination.
So be diligent. Be.
Diligent and have vigilance.
To look. Out for smooth talkers who again
have these loony interpretations of scripture trying to.
Persuade. You in some way or another that
doesn't line up. With all the scripture.
Using. Those tests that I had talked
about. And then, above all else,
examine your own heart. Look at where you're.
Causing division in terms of bringing moving away from sound
doctrine, moving away from sound teaching and changing the rules
of engagement. With butting heads with God.
'S designed order with. God's word.
Because if that's the case. And you're continuing to come
up, come up against? Good biblical.
Teaching and and God's Word and always looking to change it to
fit your image. You're the divisive. 1 and so I.
Just want to pray for us now and.
Ask God that. Yeah, Lord, just.
Thank you so much for your word this morning and.
For the call to to look to you, to see you, for who you are, to
look at your. Word and obey it.
For what it is. And to we just, we just.
Need your help God, to be able to see clearly where there's
truth. Compared to divisiveness and
false teaching. We just need your help to to see
you clearly so that. We can see ourselves.
Clearly to see where. We may be causing division in
relationships, even division in our.
Church, which is truly God, just needs your help.
In in that looking to. You as the perfecter of us, God.
Look into the gospel that we can can believe and trust.
That you will. Bring all things into fruition.
Jesus name.
