In the Book of Psalms as David confronted crisis after crisis,
one of the things that he cries out and these songs is I Am
Yours, save me. And tonight we through Jesus
Christ belong to God, the Father and Jesus Christ his son.
And although you may be going through hardship, sickness
financial difficulty, whatever the difficulties you're having,
if you belong to him tonight. Right.
You're safe in his fold. You have cause to Rejoice.
I'm certainly thankful to be here tonight.
We're here to study the word of God though.
We're here to talk about how we can be better, how we can be
closer to the father. Perhaps, you remember as a
child, having a special place, a secret place where you could go
to be all alone? Let me tell you about a boy who
had just such a place in the top of an old fruit tree, on the
back of his family's property. The tree was loaded with leaves
but it hasn't produced any fruit and years high up in its
branches hidden from view by the leaves.
Was a perfect little secret Hideaway there.
The boy was an astronaut that travel too far off galaxies.
He was Tarzan that face the challenges of the Jungle, he was
a lookout for the Cavalry. Atop a great Ford's.
He resorted to this secret place, whenever he felt
mistreated or A misunderstood. So you can imagine how he felt
when he heard his father telling his mother over dinner.
One night. I think I'll cut down that old
fruit tree, it hadn't produced any fruit in years, but what
could he do if you begged his father, not to do it that he'd
have to explain why and his secret Hideaway would be a
secret, no more. Well, he came up with a plan.
Since there were a number of apple trees in a field nearby,
he gathered a whole basket full and that evening, while his
parents were busying themselves inside, he climbed the tree and
tied, the stems of does tons of apples to almost every limb of
the old fruit tree. Well, you can imagine the next
morning, the father surprised. When he looked at the old tree,
he was amazed to see. It was Laden with big fat
apples. Father came back inside and said
to his mother, you're not going to believe this but a miracle
took place last night this old fruit tree.
Is full of apples. There are fat juicy apples on
almost every Branch. That's incredible.
His wife said, yes, the father said and it's a double Miracle
because that's a pear tree. We chuckle because we all know
of God's law of sowing and reaping apple trees.
Don't produce Pairs and pear trees, don't produce apples.
When you so apple seeds, you expect apples when you so para
seeds. You expect pairs because we
learned long ago, that what you sow is what you read and that
brings us to our Focus this evening and Galatians chapter 6.
If you have a Bible nearby, I invite you to read with me.
beginning with verse 7, all is really bringing this great book
to a close this great letter to the churches in the region of
galatia. And he has these words to say,
Do not be deceived. God is Not mocked for whatever a
manso's that he will also reap for.
He Who sows to his flesh, shall of the flesh, reap corruption.
But he who sows to the spirit will of the spirit reap
everlasting life and let us not. Grow weary while doing good for
in due season, we shall reap. If we faint not or if we do not
lose heart, therefore as we have opportunity, let us do good to
all men, especially to those Rub the household of faith like to
do. First of all, this is break down
this little passage and see what we can glean and understanding
specifically what he's trying to say.
We got a phrase here again, we've noticed earlier in the
meeting, be not deceived. We commented earlier this week
that whenever you see that phrase, there's a number of
times we find that in the New Testament, that's somewhat like
an exclamation mark before what he's about to say.
You better pay close attention to what I'm about to write
because a lot of people are going to be fooled and a lot of
people are going to be deceived. What he does here is gives us
the head of a heads-up on our potential for deception.
For self-deception, Pharaoh deceived himself and so can we
in James, chapter 1, verse 26? The Bible says, if any man among
you seem to be religious and bright with not his tongue but
deceiveth his own heart, his religion is vain folks, that can
happen to us. One thing we need to keep in
mind, this letter, Galatians was written to Christians.
James. Writing to Christians.
We're learning about the potential for self-deception
again. We see this Paul writes in
second Thessalonians 2 verse 11 and 12 warns about the
possibility of what we're talking about.
He says God will send strong delusion to those who do not
believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
If we're determined that, we're not going to do what the Bible
says. You know, what will happen?
This is frightening. God will allow us to be deceived
into thinking that wrong way. Is the right way.
Self-deception. We've got to be careful of that.
God's people have to be careful of that be not deceived.
Matthew 7:21 through 22. Gives us a preview of the
Judgment people going to be deceived.
They're people who are religious and very active religiously.
That was no guarantee. Was it?
They were deceiving themselves. They were fooling kidding
themselves. We don't want to be one of the
ones who are surprised on the day of judgment.
We can be deceived by others, of course, can't help, but think
about Eve and the serpent in the garden.
Jesus. Matthew 15:13 says, if the blind
follow the blind, they shall both fall into the city, into
the dish. We've got to be careful when we
listen to others to make sure they're what they're Aang is
really backed up by of us, saith the Lord.
Well, next he says, God. Is not mocked.
What does it mean by that? God is not going to be fooled.
He's not going to be outsmarted. Literally this word mocked, and
the original means to turn the nose up at.
Don't think that you can turn your nose up at God and get away
with it. There's a lot of men and a lot
of women in the Bible who thought that God could be mocked
men and women who turn their nose up at God, Ahab Akin
ananias. There's a long list of folks
from a-z who learned the hard way.
Way God will not be mocked. Again, this is issued to
Christians. You can't pull the wool over
God's eyes. You may fool the law, you may
fool your boss, you may fool your co-workers, your neighbors.
You may fool your teachers, your friends, your parents.
You may even fool your own spouse, but you listen, you will
not fool God, as we've sung so many times and days gone by, and
it's so true. There's All seeing eye watching
you. Listen, Jesus not only sees what
you do but here's what you say and even knows what you're
thinking this very moments Hebrews 4:13 says, all things
are naked bear, laid bare open for God to see at all times.
Are very motives which we met foolishly choose, not to explore
RS, clear to him, as is the nose on our face.
Our God is omniscient. Our God is all-knowing, he reads
Hearts, sometimes people think they can read Hearts.
We can't, he can, that's why we here.
And once when we read so much in the Bible about the heart and
God addressing there, would be careful about your heart and The
Sermon on the Mount. In Matthew chapter 5, Blessed
are the pure in heart. He talks about those whose
actions are reflecting supposedly that their hearts in
the right place, but he says the heart is far from me.
He talks about hardened hearts. In Mark.
Chapter 6, verse 52. Listen.
God sees our hearts. You cannot fool God.
Be not deceived, God is Not mocked.
Whatever a man sews. For you youngsters, young,
people may not know what that means.
That means, whatever you plant, whatever you saw that will, you
also reap Whatever you plant, that's what you're going to
harvest. Folks that is a law that is a
law of God and you will not escape the law of the harvest.
My life is an open book before God and so is yours and those
motives, those thoughts, those words and those actions, they
all come with consequences, the wheels of God's justice grind
slowly but exceeding fine. Sometimes it takes years,
sometimes it takes Decades of my dad likes, to put it the
chicken. Chickens always come home to
roost. There's going to be a settling
up time, of course, through eternity.
But even in this life, we reap. What we sow, Paul didn't invent
this idea. This is one of the more common
ideas found in the Bible. We find it in The Parables that
Jesus taught remember. The farmer, and Matthew 13:24,
who sowed good seed in his field.
What happened while he slept an enemy sowed Bad Seed.
Among the good one day, a servant fabric tears, growing
among the wheat and he told the master one of this telling
somebody has planted Bad Seed. Somebody planted these tears
because wheat seed doesn't produce tears and tears seed
doesn't produce wheat now down here, you know, because we can't
see so well. We can't always distinguish
between the tears and the weeks, but God doesn't have that
problem. Some people who just kind of
slithering around thinking they can slip in on the judgement day
on the, on the, on the coattails of somebody else, who's living a
Godly Christian Life, and not going to work, God knows who the
but we'd are, and God knows who the tears are and he sees it,
and if you're faking Christianity, he knows it.
And you won't get by back in the Old Testament.
The prophet Hosea said in Hosea 87, they have sown the wind,
they shall reap the Whirlwind talking about sowing and reaping
farther back than that. In Exodus 21:24, Moses says an
eye for an eye tooth for tooth. Again, talking about sowing and
reaping all the way back to Genesis chapter one, first
chapter in the Bible verse 11. God said, let the ground bring
forth grass the herb yielding seed and every fruit bearing.
Bring forth fruit after its own kind law of sowing.
And reaping, of course, is as old as life itself.
And now this evening, you may not know anything about
gardening, and you may know not a thing about farming, but by
the things you do and by the things you don't do by the
things you say. And the things you fail to say
by the thoughts you think and the attitude, you exhibit If you
are planning a garden and you will reap a harvest.
Question is, how does your garden compared to that?
But the Lord we see the Lord had grown.
How does your garden? Compare that that we find
through the New Testament? That we should be cultivating
and harvesting? Are you sowing tears?
He's sowing wheat. One of the contextual Keys found
in this passage is in verse 8. He says for he who shows to the
flesh as bad seed, he's been talking about that for about a
pager. So you turn back to Galatians 5.
He's talking about that the Flesh and the spirit, he use
those whose flesh will of the flesh reap corruption but he who
sews to the spirit good seed will of the spirit reap
everlasting life. Or in other words you can be
filled with yourself. And filled with the spirit.
Galatians 5:16 through 26 obvious, obviously reference to
what he's talking about here. Turn back a page and kind of
follow along here. He's telling us here how you sow
to the Flesh and how you saw the Spirit.
He gives us about 17 specific ways details them in Galatians 5
away as you can so bad seed. Listen to the list.
He kind of groups them together. First, he notices a, he mentions
sensual sins or moral impurity. He talks about adultery and
fornication and uncleanness, and lasciviousness or lewdness, then
he talks about infidelity or the worship of false gods.
He talks about idolatry and sorcery, then he has a big long
list of relationship sins. Nine of them, talking about
sinful emotions and responses to Sirs, hatred, or enmity,
special. Animosities variants are Strife.
Rivalry Discord emulations or jealous.
He's getting fired up too early. Talking about envious and
contentious Robert. These folks are bad seed.
You're going to reap what you don't want to read when you
plant these wrasse. These are explosions are
outbursts of Wrath strive and factions.
It's a party spirit. Us against them within the body
of Christ seditions or division, splits into heresies.
Envyings feelings of ill-will. And, of course, the ultimate
interpersonal, sin murder, then you list a couple more
drunkenness. And revellings which are wild
drinking party. Does we noticed the other night
of Christian has nothing whatsoever to do with that?
And then he says and such like in other words Paul says I'm not
listing every single way that you can plant good seed but you
bad seed but you get the idea you leave these long, you stay
away from these don't plant. These are you will reap a
harvest that you don't want to read.
And I'm involved in any of these and when you are, were sowing to
the Flesh and we're planning Bad Seed, we and remember the
Harvest time is coming. And that the old where Harvest
he says, is those who practice such will not inherit the
kingdom of God? No, is Anja butts about when
going if we're keep planting that kind of seed.
Paul adds for emphasis in Galatians, 6, verse 8, He's a
Solace to the flesh shall of the flesh, reap corruption, that
term carries with the ideas of rottenness and Decay.
That's not where we want to be dabbling.
Any of these failed, repent. You'll be like those in Matthew
7. Lord, Lord.
I never knew you will be the response we can also sow good
seed. We've talked about this earlier
in the week and Galatians 5, verse 22 and 23, we read about
the fruit of the spirit love joy, peace, long-suffering,
kindness goodness, faithfulness, gentleness self-control.
We don't give these enough attention, but you know what?
If we don't plant these We're going to have trouble in our
homes. We're going to have trouble in
the church. As a going to be a collision.
We're on a collision course with our brothers and sisters.
When we're not planting these kinds of seed, we're having a
collision course with those in our family, when we don't
emphasize these like we should, let's break this sowing and
reaping business. Now a little bit further What
you read, is what you sow. As an individual.
We need to take personal what he's saying here, it applies to
me and applies to you just as if he would have mentioned your
very name. And my name right here in this
verse and we need to make sure we get that and we don't miss
it. And this go, this goes not just
in spiritual matters. This goes in in school, at work
in our friendships. You decide you're not going to
do your homework. You decide you're not going to
study for a test. What's going to happen?
You're going to reap the results.
You're going to fail. You decide you're not going to
show up for work. You decide, you're going to
steal from the company. What's going to happen?
You're going to pay. You can lose your job.
An eager. But somewhat unscrupulous
salesman was delivering a bid to an engineering firm while the
man waiting on him, stepped away from the desk for a few moments.
The salesman noticed, a competitor's bid on the man's
desk but he couldn't read the amount of the bid because it was
a juice. Can on top of the part of the
bid that showed the total amount.
Kept looking at, the can looking up looking back.
The Temptation was just too much.
He reached over to move, the can to see the competitors Bid And
as he lifted, the can his heart sank.
As he watched thousands of BB's from the bottomless can scatter
across the floor. He lost the bid, he learned.
You're going to reap what you sow this reaping we do as
individuals is also proportional to the amount of sewing.
We do this works in the positive as well as the - we planned.
Just a few good seat and we're going to enjoy a small harvest.
The more seed we plant the greater the Harvest will be in
the positive 2nd Corinthians 9 verse 6.
Whoever shows sparingly will also reap sparingly and whoever
sows generously will also reap generously.
Consider Joseph. Oh what a great story.
This is Genesis 37 or so, through the end of that great
and that great book. What happens with Joseph?
Trouble trouble fall is in the first half of his life, he but
he continues to live Faithfully. He sold as a slave, by his
brothers, his own family, he stays faithful, he perseveres
after. He's in prison, for rejecting
the advances of Potiphar's wife, he stays faithful after he was,
forgotten by the butler who promised to reward him by
telling the Pharaoh about his gift.
He just kept sewing good seed. And eventually you reap the good
harvest. Daniel, you remember continued
to honor his religious convictions even in the face of
what seemed to be certain death and his faithfulness was
rewarded when he was thrown in the Lion's, did the Angels of
God protected him and so as you let your life sign as you
exhibit kindness as you do good works as you spread the truth as
you stand up for the truth. Sometimes those seem like you go
unappreciated. She ate it or unrewarded but
just keep on sewing. The Good Seed and you too will
reap the Harvest. Of course, this works in the -
Joseph Brothers. Treacherous men.
Sold him as a slave, but as a result of that down the road,
they faced starvation. And imprisonment, they had to
beg for food from the brother that they had.
So badly mistreated, belshazzar, you remember profane, the sacred
vessels of the temple in a drunken party.
When he was confronted by the handwriting on the wall.
Meanie, meanie, you take many, many take OU's you farsan now
are weighed in the balances and found wanting.
He was slain that very night when Samson began to date.
The worldly. Philistine Delilah, he never
intended to become an adulterer. He never intended to disgrace
his people, to abandon his vow to lose his great strength, to
have his eyes plucked out, and finally end his own life.
Life but Samson learn that sin will take you farther than you
want to go. Sin will keep you longer than
you want to stay and sin will cost you more than you want to
pay listen, younger, brother and younger sister.
You're making some choices today, you're making some
choices some decisions and 2006, they're going to either help you
or haunt you. For the rest of your days you
better remember this rule you better remember this great law
of God, are you sowing to the flesh?
Are you sowing to The Spirit? Well, here's another one.
The individual will reap what he sells but you know what?
Your family Will reap what you sow?
How many times? How many times have we seen it?
Noah you remember the positive side found Grace in the eyes of
the Lord? And as a result of that, God has
designed a plan to save his family.
As a result of that, the human race was preserved.
We could talk about Abraham Abraham, we could talk about
Rahab in Jericho Esther, great examples of this very thing
individuals who stood. Up for right and their family.
Reaped, the Harvest. Proverbs 22:6 says, train up a
child in the way he should go. And when he is old, he will not
depart from it. Oh, we still believe in the free
moral agency of these little ones as they grow up.
But what a legacy, you can leave your family.
What a legacy, you can leave the church.
If you God, the hearts and the spirits of these little boys and
girls as they grow up, Jim 64 fathers do not provoke your
children to wrath but bring them up in the training, the nurture
and admonition of the Lord, the training and instruction of the
Lord. Another translation says, While
we're talking about family, I heard something one time.
That was very impressing. Impressive to me, listen to this
Dad, are you treating your wife the way you want your daughter's
husband? To treat her.
Mom, are you treating your husband the way you want your
son's wife? To treat him.
Well, we're talking about family being impacted by your, by my
actions. Let's notice the negative.
Every single time we stand before the grave of a loved one,
we're reaping the Harvest of the seed that Adam and Eve sewed in
the Garden of Eden. Every time we deal with
sickness, every time we're confronted with pain disease.
We're reaping the seed the Harvest that they sewed me about
lat. I think about lot when he
arrived at Sodom Genesis 13, 13 says, The men of Sodom were
exceedingly, Wicked and sinful against the Lord, but he went
there. Anyway, settled in sin will take
you farther than you want to go and watch the progression with
lot Genesis, 13 12, he pitched his tent towards Sodom again.
Like we noticed the other night, it's important where you are
today, but it's even more important in which direction are
you headed? He was heading the wrong way.
Genesis 14:12 says he was living in Sodom Genesis.
In one finally he's sitting at the Gate of Sodom as one of
their key Business Leaders. Lord unfortunately realized too
late that sin will take you farther than you want to go.
He could tell you firsthand how sin Planning the wrong, see
destroyed his family wife turned to a pillar of salt.
His grandchildren were also his children because of the heinous
sin that he committed with his daughters and The Offspring of
that Where the moabites and the ammonites gave God's people
trouble down the road. Jacob, and Esau story.
There member Esau sold, his Birthright for a mess of
pottage. Esau's.
Descendants paid for that. Think about David spread himself
too thin with his wives. and in that family, his his family, his
children and all the goings on that took place within them were
we're worse than any soap opera. Some of the things that happened
there. So scandalous.
Proverbs 29:15 says the rod and rebuke, give wisdom, but a Child
Left to himself, brings shame to his mother.
Loving discipline and boundaries can spare a whole family grief.
And tragedy. Well, not only will you reap as
an individual and will you reap as a family?
The result of the see that you you.
So but also the family of God or the church, sometimes there can
be even ripples across the Brotherhood because of decisions
and choices that you make, if they're the wrong ones, or if
they're the right ones, think about Paul, and Peter, in the
positive sense, Peter preached, Jesus, in faith, in the face of
certain persecution, And the church Prosper. 3,000 on that
first day. And then thousands and thousands
more because he stood up for what's right?
Paul established strengthen churches throughout the west and
we have 14 New Testament letters as a result of his great work in
his great faithfulness. In the negative though.
Think about this Abraham and Sarah.
Look with me, if you will back at Genesis 16.
You talk about implications? Poor choices, wrong decisions.
And the result that they can make this is probably the
biggest that was ever made. Now, Sarah Genesis, 16 verse 1,
Abraham's wife had borne him. No children.
God had promised, and God was going to keep his promise, but
that wasn't good enough. It wouldn't happen to quick
enough and she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was
Hagar. So Sarah is said to Abram.
See now, the Lord has restrained me from bearing children.
Please go into my maid, perhaps. I shall obtain children by her.
Bad idea and then Abraham went along with it.
Equally bad idea and Abraham heated the voice of Sarah and
what happened as a result of that skip down to verse 11 and
12. She gave birth to Ishmael the
angel of the Lord said to her, behold your, with child, and
shall bear a son, and you shall call his name Ishmael because
the Lord has heard your Affliction, he shall be a wild
man. His hand will be against every
man and every man's hand against him and he shall dwell in the
presence of all his brethren. All the things that are going on
in the lease and the troubles that are going on in the world.
You know how far those can be traced.
Back all the way back to right here.
Genesis 16. Just one little decision.
How, how badly could that affect anyone?
Outside of the two of them, it's affected the whole world because
of that. You don't Islam a thorn in
everybody's side. Where'd that?
Come from You know where the split comes with our
understanding and there's the biggest part of the split, they
believe it wasn't Isaac, there was offered on the altar but it
was Ishmael and right there is when it all chains and it all
becomes very different, could trace at all the way back, the
tragedy of 9/11, all these things are going on all the way
back to this one man. And this one woman's poor
decision. Hitler, you remember.
So the seed of genocide and no one in Germany rose up against
him as a result, Germany was turned to rubble and only in
relatively recent years. Have they recovered?
as one man or one woman, you have a tremendous capacity
either for helping or hindering the church.
And even the Brotherhood at large, you can have a positive
or negative impact. If you so Strife listen you
aren't going to reap piece. I like what one man said he said
we are all manufacturers. He said making good making
trouble or making excuses which of these defines you tonight
which of these will Define you which of these will Define me in
the future. My the kind of person who's
going to be Making trouble. I'm out of town of person is
gonna be making excuses for not doing what I know I should Why
be making good? if you're capable of doing,
Great work. And you're only doing good work.
For the Lord, is that not sin. Is that not like the man, the
one Talent, man. We read about.
We spoke about last night. Part of the success of the early
church was their ability to develop momentum and maintain
that momentum. That's what we want to do right
here at plans row. You've got some momentum,
there's a illustration given enough Business book, good to
great, talking about how it takes a while you have to keep
pulling it. He used the idea of a flywheel.
The idea of America around is easier for me to relate to and
you know how when you get a bunch of people in a
merry-go-round, you have to be pulling or pushing and pulling
And get that thing at slow at first slow and you just have to
keep working and working. But once you get that thing
going, then you just it doesn't take as much effort.
Doesn't take as much. We just have to keep going.
You just have to stick with it. So it is in the church.
But you know what happens, sometimes we get that thing
going and then all of a sudden somebody wants to jump in and
stop the Merry-Go-Round so to speak.
It's one thing. If because of your situation,
your circumstances, you're not able to help get that thing
going. That's one thing, that's one
thing. But don't you get in the way of
those who are working, you work with them, you support them or
you get out of the way. Don't be one of those who are
making trouble. Two men were riding a Bicycle
Built for Two. And they came to a long Steep
Hill, it took a great deal of struggle for the men to
complete, but proved to be a very steep climb when I got to
the top, the man in front of the other and said, boy, that.
Sure was a hard climb the fell in the back reply.
Yeah. And if I hadn't kept the brakes
on all the way, we would certainly have rolled down
backwards. Sometimes that's what's going on
in the church. We've got people working and
working up heel and up heel. We got people throwing food at
it, throwing Tomatoes at up, trying to get things stirring up
trouble with in the church, don't let that be you because if
that is you listen brother sister, you're going to reap,
you're going to pay the price down the road.
You write it down, it's going to happen.
Listen, the work of the church, we're talking about the work of
the church. We're not talking about hills,
we're talking about the souls of men and the work of the church
is not my work. And it's not your work.
It's the Lord's work in the church, will reap.
What you sow. Sammy spent his Boyhood Summers
walking through the woods playing with friends and his
favorite by far was fishing in the pond down the road nearly
every day. He would dig up some worms and
head off Poland hand for a day of fishing.
This steamy hot day was like most others during Sammy summer
break waking early. He could hear the pain calling
so Sammy quietly walked out. The front door, grabbed his
Pitchfork and wormtail and walked into the woods to search
for bait. It's he turned over old stumps
and dug under leaves hoping to find worms under one old.
Stumpy hit the jackpot. The ground was just rising and
in two minutes he had all the baby knitted and in 15 minutes
he was at the pond reaching into his Bait.
Bucket Sammy pulled out a big worm double hooked it and tossed
it into the water. He noticed a stinging in his
hand but he was filled with the excitement of the moment and so
he paid no attention to it within 30 seconds Sammy had a
strike and pulled in a nice catfish.
Wow, he thought I fish in the first minute.
He put the catch on the Stringer, hurried, to rebait his
hook and tried his luck. Again, once again, he felt the
stinging sensation in his hand as he threw his hook into the
pond. Didn't have time to worry about
that. Within just a few seconds, he
had another large fish, he fumbled the next time, he baited
hook His hand felt numb and stiff but Sammy was still too
excited about catching another fish to give it much thought and
only an hour. Sam had caught eight, large
fish. This was definitely his best
fishing day ever. He was so proud of his outing
that would plenty of day. Lefty through his heavy Stringer
over his shoulder and dash toward home, to show off his
cash. The local sheriff happened to
drive up alongside Sammy and started to congratulate him on
his catch with a smile and a victory.
Whoop Sammy. Held up the Stringer.
The sheriff, gassed parked his car and ran to Sammy.
His eyes, hadn't deceived him Sammy's arms, really were red,
and swollen to about twice their normal size.
Exactly. Where have you been and what
bait did you use to catch all those fish?
The sheriff ass I found some special bait under an old stump
Sammy. Boasted these worms really
wiggle good. Holding the bucket up for
inspection after one, look at the worms, the sheriff.
You salmon the truck, maybe you turn on the dirt road and sped
off to the hospital. That was too late.
Sammy died. For the get to town Sammy had
been fishing with baby rattlesnakes.
Sammy's deadly bait. Brought him a good morning of
fishing. But it cost him.
His life had Sammy stop fishing. After the first sting.
