Phil Beach Jr. emphasizes the destructive nature of sin and its impact on our relationships, particularly how it can hurt those we love the most. He highlights the importance of acknowledging our faults and seeking forgiveness, as well as the transformative power of grace that leads to healing and a new way of living. The sermon calls for a change in our walk, urging believers to embrace a life of faith, love, and humility, reflecting the mind of Christ in all aspects of life. Beach encourages the congregation to recognize their need for God's grace to overcome sin and to actively pursue a life that mirrors Christ's example of selflessness and obedience. Ultimately, he reassures that through Christ, there is hope and healing available for all who seek it.

With sin, you see how horrible sin is, how many are coming to realize as you get older, the horrible effects of sin, how it affects us, how it affects our loved ones. Isn't sin horrible? The one you love the most, you hurt, don't you? Think about it. If that's not the sinfulness of sin, I don't know what is. The one you love the most, you hurt. How many men here have ever hurt your wife? But don't we love our wives? Of course we do. How many have ever hurt your wife? Come on, man. When was listen, listen. When was the last time you said to your wife, Colette? I'm sorry I've hurt you. I'm sorry. Forgive me. It's sin itself that even keeps us from doing that because of pride. And maybe you grew up in a family where you never saw your father. Love your wife, love your mother, say you're sorry. And now you just followed in the steps of your father. We're a mess. But even if you came up in a Christian family, your parents are still imperfect. We're a mess, but we have a savior who loves us and who died for us. And even though we're a mess, he continues to call us to himself. Where we can be healed, call us to his word, where he can heal us and change us and transform us, and that's what he's doing in our midst right now. He's healing us. Sin is so horrible, but grace is so marvelous and so wonderful and so freeing. And today there is multiplied grace in our midst, multiplied grace to bring healing, to bring salvation, to break the chains of sin, to break the pattern of sin in our life. You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free, Jesus said, and so there's freedom here because Jesus and his word is present. Don't you love his presence and his healing? How many sense the healing of the Lord Jesus going deep into our hearts, deep into our spirits, deep into the depths of our being, bursting light into the midst of darkness, hope into the midst of hopelessness, faith into the midst of faithlessness. That's what he does. Hallelujah, we thank you, Father, for your faithfulness, we thank you for your word, we thank you for your Holy Spirit, we acknowledge, oh, God, that we're a mess. That apart from your grace and apart from the sovereign work that you've already done in our hearts and in our spirits, we are a mess, but we confess, Lord, that our faith and our trust and our hope is in you and in your word. We thank you, Lord, for taking our mess this morning and shining hope where there was no hope healing, where there was hurt. And sickness. Faith, where there was faithlessness, encouragement, where there was discouragement, we thank you, Lord Jesus, we thank you, Holy Spirit, and we look to you now to continue this work and perfect it. In our heart, perfect it and let it affect our behavior, let it affect our actions, let it affect our speech, God, let it affect us. Continue to break the chains that have bound us in life controlling habits that have hurt our family and ourself and our brothers and sisters and members in the body of Christ, overcome these things, Lord, through your truth and through your word, make us a people, Lord, free through the power of truth. We pray in the name of Jesus, our Lord. And our savior, a man, Philippians, chapter two, Philippians, chapter two, we have been spending a considerable amount of time regarding the building of the house of God as the topic. And we subtitled that, How's your walk? And we've been learning. From God's word that as new creatures in Christ, God is going to give us a new walk, a different walk, one of the evidences that you are experiencing grace in your life. One of the evidences that you are experiencing the Holy Spirit in your life. Is not. That you feel emotional. It's not that, you know, Bible doctrine or go to church or involved in religious activities, please listen carefully, it's not what you're involved in or what people perceive you to be. Oh, this guy's a beautiful Christian. Well, this man's a he's a he's a choice Christian. That doesn't mean a thing. What people think of you doesn't mean a thing. We've learned in the 21st century how to wear masks. Do you know that the neighbors of Ted Bundy said that he was the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet? You believe that Ted Bundy, does anybody know who Ted Bundy is or was serial killer who had his victims. For lunch. Literally. Forgive me for being blunt. But so much for. The general consensus of Ted Bundy's neighbors that he was a great guy. Do you rest at night and sleep good because people think you're a nice Christian? Don't put your hope in that. Don't put your hope in that. According to the word of God, the only evidence that we could look at as a source of encouragement that God has truly. Given us his holy spirit and is working actively in our life. Is the overwhelming fact that our walk is changing, our walk is changing. And if your walk is not changing. Then grace is not working, nor is the Holy Spirit working in your life. There's no such thing in the Bible as someone who has an encounter with God and remains the same. There's no such thing. We change. And so the building of the house of God is a process by which God is transforming. People from earthly to heavenly, from carnal to spiritual. From selfish to selfless. Now, this is not a change that occurs instantaneously in a moment's time where one day you're a rotten, horrible, selfish human being that thinks only of yourself. And in 24 hours, you become the selfless servant to all the body of Christ, the perfect husband, the perfect wife, the perfect child, the perfect minister. That's not how it works. But there is a consistent. Progressive change that occurs in the lives of every single group of people who have experienced the true grace of God. And God's word reveals to us what happens when we experience the grace of God, what happens when we experience. The gift of the Holy Spirit in our life. And we've learned that our walk changes. That were commanded in the Bible. That as the result of the new creation, it's just a little bit of review. That we are to walk in the steps of faith. And in Romans chapter four, the Bible uses Abraham as the example of faith. His walk was a walk of faith. That means that Abraham was apprehended by God. And he no longer walked according to his own opinions and his own tastes and his own desires, he no longer walked according to the cultural convictions of his day. Where the issue of morality was challenged, but he walked by faith in the living God. When God revealed himself to Abraham and Genesis chapter 12, God says, Abraham, get thee out, separate yourself. And so one of the evidences of knowing the true grace of God and experiencing the true power of God in your life is you will experience a continuous, continuous awakening to your heart. Of the need to walk by faith in the invisible God, by faith in the word of God and not by sight, not by feeling, not by natural impulse or appetite. One of the great tragedies occurring in the open professed body of Christ is that the walk of faith is diminishing. Men and women are walking by sight. They're walking by feeling. They're walking by appetite. They're not walking by faith in the invisible God who says forsake the way of selfishness, forsake the way of sin, forsake the way of unforgiveness, forsake the way of vengeance and gossip, forsake it. They're not walking by faith. They're walking by sight. They wake up and they have an impulse to gossip and they gossip. They have an impulse to lie and they lie. They have an impulse to get drunk and they get drunk. That is not the walk of faith. That is the walk of sight, the walk of feeling, the walk of appetite. And beloved, Jesus is calling us to walk by faith. You say, well, how can I do it? You can't do it. I can't do it. We need the grace and mercy and spirit of God working in our life. We need God to lay hold of us. Secondly, we learned not only we called to walk the walk of faith, but we're called. To walk in newness of life. Romans chapter six. The walk of newness in life, as opposed to walking in the oldness of death. Let's turn our Bibles to first Peter before we go to Philippians chapter two, because that's what we want to touch on a little bit this morning. But it's profitable and beneficial for us all to have a little bit of review because the review is nothing but the word of God and the word of God never becomes redundant. The word of God never becomes old. It's profitable and beneficial to all of us to review what God says about our walk. First Peter. This is in reference. To our new walk. Verse one, chapter four, first Peter, for as much then as Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind, for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin. We are to walk in the newness of life. Please listen, everyone, please. God commands us to arm ourselves. With the same mind. As was in the mind of Christ. The same mind. Listen, read it again. Arm yourselves with the same mind. What mind? The mind that if we are going to respond to the grace of God that is working in our life, if we're going to respond to the spirit of God that is working in our life, if we're going to respond to the word of God that's working in our life, we are going to have to suffer, suffer, suffer the pain of saying no to our own desires, suffer the pain of saying no to our own earthly, worldly impulses, suffer the pain of saying no to. I'm going to do it this way because then I won't have to bear the reproach of Christ. You see, Christians are no longer arming themselves. They're no longer arming yourselves with the same mind. We're no longer realizing that to become a Christian is to be united to Christ and to be united to Christ means that it is his life, his example, that I am now to follow through the power of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the head. We are the body. The head and the body are one organically. They're one. The Bible says in First Corinthians, chapter five, that he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit, one spirit, meaning the same mind that the head has, the body should have the same capacity to love that the head has should be growing ever more in the body. You see, it's not about us. It's not about us. It's about him and our life being hid in him. Hallelujah to the word of God. Hallelujah to the word of God. It is quick. It is powerful. First Peter, chapter four, for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin. That means that we are done with the life of flesh. We've recognized the life of flesh as being cursed, something that God is not calling us to do. Now watch this, that he no longer should live the rest of his time. That means once you become a new creation in Christ and Jesus saves you from your sin from that day forward, the rest of the days of your life, you should not live in the flesh. You should not live in the flesh to the loss of men, but to the will of God. For the time passed, our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles. When we walked, walked, there's our walk, the past we walked in lasciviousness, that word means no restraint, no restraint, lawlessness. Our walk before we knew Jesus was a walk of no restraint, no one told us what to do, no boundaries. We did what we wanted. We lived the way we wanted. If it was convenient to lie, we lied. If it was convenient to steal, we stole. If it was convenient to deceive, we deceived. That was our former walk. But now we're called to walk in newness of life, which means we no longer walk in lasciviousness, lusts, excessive wine, reveling, banqueting and abominable idolatries, wherein they think it's strange that you run not with them to the same excess of riot. Listen, our walk. Walk. In the newness of life should be so radical that people think it's strange that we no longer do the things we used to do. Every single one of you who works among employees, fellow employees, no matter what kind of a job it is, they should think it's strange that you do not engage in gossip. They should think it's strange that you do not bow down to the green God called money. They should think it's strange that your interests, for the most part, are different than theirs. I didn't say you're self-righteous and that you think you're better. They should think it's strange as they behold your way of life that you walk to a different drumbeat. They should scratch their head and say, what makes you tick? Is that the way it is? Are you different? Don't don't answer that question by saying, well, I guess I go to church. It's not about going to church. Well, I talk about Jesus. It's not about talking. This isn't the building of the house of God. How's your talk? It's how's your walk? How's your walk? The devil's a believer. The devil talks, Jesus, the Bible says he believes in trembles. How's your walk? You say it's not very good. What are you going to do? Well, I'm going to change. No, you're not. You're not. You're not going to change. Don't make a new year's resolution because it's just going to be one of all the others that you failed to keep. You know what we need? Not a resolution. We need a resurrection. Resolution or resurrection. I remember several New Year's Eve's ago. I preached a message on that. Is it going to be a resolution or is it going to be a resurrection? We're dealing with resurrection now. Newness of life. If your life is not changing, then you need to pray, oh, God, have mercy on me and let me know what it is to experience multiplied grace. Let me know what it is to experience the gift of the Holy Spirit. Let me know what it means to experience an insatiable hunger for the word of God. That's what changes us. The word of God. Then we learned that not only are we not to walk or that we are to walk in the steps of faith. Number two, we're to walk in newness of life. And number three, we learned that we're not to walk after the flesh. And we spent considerable amount of time on that, which we won't do now. And now the past three weeks, we've learned that we are to walk in love and we learned that there's a great price to walk in love. You're going to get hurt. And it's how you respond to your wounds and pain that will determine whether you continue to go on with God or whether you shrivel up inside and become a raisin. A dried up grape wine in the Bible speaks of. The life of Christ, the new wine. But when we close our heart because we've been hurt and wounded, it's no longer wine that's flowing through us, we turn into grapes. We turn into raisins. Raisins are dry and shriveled up. But I feel that this morning God sort of touched some of the raisins in our life. To give new life. Amen. New life. Now, going to Philippians chapter two, beginning in verse one, if there therefore be any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the spirit, if any bowels and mercies fulfill you, my joy, that you be like minded. Having the same love. Being of one accord of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind, let each esteem other better than themselves. Look, not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Verse five, listen carefully, let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Here it is. Let this mind be in you, which also was in Christ Jesus. If the grace of God and the spirit of God is working in your life, you will desire with ever increasing measure. That the mind of Christ would be fashioned in you. Functioning in you so that you have the capacity to follow his footsteps, the most important thing to a person who is living in the abundance of grace. Is that they would be like Jesus in all things, and I'm wondering how well are you doing with your desire to be like Jesus? This is what the Holy Spirit is saying to us today. Let this mind be in you. Let this mindset be in you. Romans chapter 12, chapter verse one and two. God says that we need to be transformed in our minds so that our minds, our desires are toward the Lord and that he is. Transforming our mind so that we want to be like him. We want to know him, we're we're not going to. Um, we're not going to go on to the next point. We're going to hold it right here. And just let the Lord minister to us. Over this issue, let this mind be in you. And we're going to connect that, let this mind be with you in you with the call of God's spirit on all of our hearts this morning. Walk. In love, walk in love, Isaiah 53, walk in love, let this mind be in you, walk in faith, walk in newness of life, don't walk after the flesh and let this mind be in you. Isaiah 53. Actually begin in 52, verse 13. Now, listen, beloved, please listen, I'm just going to continue for a few more moments. Let this mind be in you. Behold, my servant shall deal prudently. He shall be exalted and extolled. And be very high, as many were astonished at the. His visage or his countenance was so marred more than any man and his form more than the sons of men, let this mind be in you. Beware, beloved, of a false spirit that is permeating Christianity today, teaching God's people to despise and shun and run from having to suffer shame or be taken advantage of or to settle for second place, a third place. Beware of the spirit, brothers and sisters, that is seducing an entire generation of professed believers, we are called to pray that we would possess the mind of Christ, and if we are to know the mind of Christ, then we are to follow him and were to share. In the very unique sufferings that he went through, with the exception. Of redemption itself, which is a suffering that he himself had to go through. Just think about these words, we like verse 13, he shall he shall be exalted and extolled and be very high. But, you know, that was never fulfilled while he lived on Earth. The only. Height that Jesus attained to in the eyes of men was the height of the cross, that was that was how that's how highly men esteemed him. Jesus was so esteemed, they put him up on a cross and crucified him. John chapter 15. What does it say? It says that if our master was treated in such a way, we, too, shall be many were astonished at the. His visage was so marred more than any man and his form more than the sons of men. You can dodge this verse 14 if you want. Guess guess what you have to do. Here's all you have to do. I'm going to walk after the flesh. I'm not going to walk by faith. I'm not going to walk in newness of life. I'm not going to walk in love. So you can you can bypass the pain and the suffering that verse 14 speaks of. And it's not only the Lord Jesus, as I read through my Bible from Genesis on to Revelation. I find that every true servant of God that heard the call of God, starting from Cain, Abel, all the way through, who followed the lamb and followed the call of Jehovah. God into the New Testament, the apostles and the early church, they. Were marred. Their countenance was wounded, they were exalted and esteemed by men to the point where they were crucified. Oh, there are times when God will give honor to his servants, but it's not because they're seeking it. It's because God does it. And if God does it, it's not going to mean anything to us. Let this mind be in you. You see, this goes so much deeper than just most Christians think. If you ask them, what does it mean to have the mind of Christ? They say, well, what that means is that I get up in the morning and I can know what God's saying. I can know whether I'm to go here or do this or do that. Well, that's part of it. I'm not going to say that's not true, but this goes so much deeper. Then just being able to get up in the morning and know what to do. The mind of Christ goes so much deeper, as we'll see. So shall he sprinkle many nations. Oh, my goodness. What does that mean? His influence will be what? All over. But, you know, the problem with us is we want influence with God, but we don't want it through dying, through suffering. Through pain. We want it through worldly methods. And God is judging the church today because the church has thought that the way to touch the nations is to bypass the cross and to use the methods. Of the world, bypass the cross, make it appealing, make it attractive. The only way you're going to touch people, just like that dear brother John's letter this morning, five, six sentences and the fragrance of Christ came right out of the computer. Touch my spirit. Why? Because there's six or seven sentences that was born from a man who suffered greatly. Let this mind be in you. Beware, brothers and sisters. Let me say this feed on the word of God. Don't feed on the corruption of this world. Don't feed on the doctrines of men and the teachings of men. Paul said the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but will have itching ears and will gather around themselves teachers who will tell them exactly what they want to hear. How to prosper, how to be successful, how to be a Christian without bearing the reproach of Christ. Doctrines of devils feed on the word of God, brothers and sisters. Who has believed our poor and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed for he shall grow up before him as a tender plant and as a root out of dry ground. Dry ground. Very unappealing. He had listen, he hath no form nor comeliness. That is outward beauty. And listen, and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. Why is it that today we want to make our Christianity so appealing and so palatable so that when people see it, they're attracted to it? Why? Did God dress up his son with kingly robes so that men would be attracted to him? He hath no form nor comeliness, and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. When Jesus came and was born, did God sovereignly move on the innkeeper to throw out a few of the tenants so that Jesus could be born in the inn? I mean, let's face it. It was the son of God that didn't he deserve dignity and honor? No. Where was he born? In a stable. On a manger. You know what the manger was, brothers and sisters? A feeding trough, trough, excuse me, trough, where the animals ate from. We had sheep. I was imagining my wife having one of our babies in the barn. And then when the baby's born, I get the feeding trough and I take some hay from the top of the barn and lay the hay out and maybe put a blanket on top and there put the newborn babe there. Do you know what kinds of smells are in the barn? Are you aware? How many have ever been on a farm? How many have ever went in a barn where there's animals? That's where Jesus was born. But that's not good, though, because that's not appealing. That's an offense to people. We can't bear a Christianity that looks like that. Let's dress up our Christianity. Let's remove that. People are going to think we're nuts. You see, let this mind be in you, which was in Christ Jesus. Watch this now. He is despised and rejected of men. Let this mind be in you, which also was in Christ Jesus. A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. The word acquainted there literally means to be intimately familiar with. Intimately familiar with grief. Let this mind be in you, which is in Christ Jesus. We did it and we hit it as it were ourself, our faces from him. He was despised and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, carried our sorrows. Yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities. The punishment for our peace was upon him. And with his stripes we are healed. John 15 verse 18. If the world hate you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world that said unto you, the servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept my sayings, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. Philippians chapter two. Now we'll finish reading that. And then we're going to close. Philippians chapter two. How's your walk this morning? Brothers and sisters, our entire culture is fighting with all the powers of hell against these very things that we're reading this morning. The whole culture. We don't want to deal with the thought of following a Christ that's going to lead us to reproach and rejection. We don't want to deal with the thought of following Christ to the point where we're going to have to suffer shame and be considered nuts. Foolish. We don't want to hear it. And you know what we're going to do if we don't get much grace in our life? We're going to do just what Demas did. Do you know there's a guy in the Bible by the name of Demas? That's exactly right, Pam. He forsook Paul. He hung around with Paul for a while. Actually, a few of the times Paul said, Demas greets you. So he was a companion of Paul. He sat under some of the greatest teaching of the New Testament. He traveled with Paul. He was a companion with Paul. But the Bible says in Thessalonians, Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present age and has gone unto Thessalonica. Demas started out, but he didn't know what he was getting into. And then when he saw the cost involved, the truth came out that he loved the world more than he did the reproach of Christ. And he forsook Paul and went to Thessalonica. Now, I'm sure he probably went to Thessalonica and connected with the believers. He became a church member. He might have become one of the elders. He might have become a preacher. He probably started a hospitality ministry. He was probably very esteemed by the brothers in Thessalonica. But guess what the truth was regarding Demas. He forsook the Lord's way. And he loved the world more than he did the reproach of the cross. Philippians 2, 5. Let this mind be in you, which also was in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. Here we go. He made himself of no reputation. That means to be emptied. Emptied. No personal rights. No selfish ambition. He didn't have the luxury of saying, Father, if I do this and obey your word, I know that I'm going to be misunderstood. I know I'm going to be reproached. I know I might lose my job. I might lose my friends. I know I might lose respect. I know that I might not be considered cool. Father, if I do this, I know what's going to happen. I don't think I'm going to do this. No. He emptied himself. He emptied himself of those rights. Let this mind be in you, which also was in Christ. As Christ emptied himself, so likewise, if the spirit of God is working in your life, dear, dear beloved, and if you are apprehended by grace and your heart is toward the word of God, you're going to hear God sooner or later say to you, I'm calling you to make yourself of no reputation. Families will come back into harmony in the church when the moms and the dads hear God say, stop demanding your foolish rights. Stop demanding your foolish selfishness. Stop wanting to live your life for yourself. Husbands, it's time to give up your rights. It's time to realize you've been called as the head of your home to set the example of what it means to die, to lose your rights, to selflessly serve God and your family and labor in the word of God. Every husband should be a pastor of his own home. Every husband should pastor his family. Man, are you pastoring your family? Are you pastoring them? Are you shepherding them? Are you breaking the word of God to them with tears and brokenness? Well, I don't have time for that. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. We need to die. Let this mind be in you. No reputation. Took upon him the form of a man. He took upon him the form of a servant. Excuse me. The word servant there is a permanent slave. No rights. A permanent slave. No rights. That's the word used there. God became a man and then decided to become a slave with no rights. Only to do the will of God. And was made in the likeness of men. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself. And became obedient to death. So not only did he lower himself and become a slave, but he went lower. He humbled himself more. Now see what he's doing? He's getting down. He's getting down. The Lord of Glory getting down to the point where he became obedient to death. Death. Scoffing. Mocking. Misunderstanding. Why? Because he chose to live a life of love to God and to humanity by living in the truth of God's word. That's what the church is called to do. That this is the building of the house of God. But who will hear this call? Who will hear it? When Jesus comes back, will he find faith? On the earth. Will he find a people like this? American Christianity is destined to perish. It's destined to perish, beloved. It's the child of the harlot. The American Christianity. Not biblical Christianity. Not biblical following Jesus. But the American version. It's destined to perish. He became obedient to death. Even the death of the cross. Wherefore, God also hath highly exalted him. Now what did we read in Isaiah 53? Behold, my servant shall deal prudently. He shall be exalted and extolled and be very high. Therefore, God highly exalted him. When did the exaltation come? It came after the cross. It came out of. That's where God promotes. That's where God gives us honor in his eyes. When we become obedient. To the cross. Okay, beloved. That's God's word. That's God's word, see. How's your walk? Walk in love. Walk in the mind of Christ. Here's where it'll lead us. You say, but Phil, it's such a bleak picture. This can't be God. I feel so bleak and so down. And oh, we're so, so we're such a sensationalist society. So what if you feel bleak and down? It's the truth. See, that's the problem. We go by our feelings. Oh, I don't like the way I feel listening to this. I want a happy life. I mean, there's nothing in it for me, Phil. Hello. That's right. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to biblical Christianity. Nothing at all. Sure, you you benefit from the grace and mercy of God. What's in it for you? You've been rescued from hell and now you're one of God's children. What more do you need? What's in it for you? God says, I will come and live with you and be in you. What more do you need? What? Tell me what more you need than God himself living inside of you. OK, let's bow our hearts and thank God for his word and his love for us. Father, we thank you for your word. Lord, we're humbled because we recognized that this morning you came into our midst and you minister to us. You're so sensitive to our hurts. You're so sensitive to our pain. You're so sensitive, Lord, to what will happen to us if we follow you. You're so mindful of the emotional and spiritual and mental pain. That we experience in following you. Why? Because you became and are a glorified man and you know. The pathway. And now, Lord. You're calling us. Back. To follow you. And you promise to heal us, restore us. Lord, I'm asking simply that your truth. Will triumph. Over all the lies of Satan that have infiltrated our minds. All the wounds and pain that have come into our life because of following you. Now, we will experience a glorious renewal today that will affect. Our walk. Affect our homes. I pray every husband here. Will shock his wife. And sometime today say, sweetheart, I'm sorry. For hurting you. For being unkind to you. Forgive me. Every wife would do that. Every child would do that to their parent. Parents would do that. Lord, bring a healing and a restoration. Help us to see, Lord. The pathway to glory. And help us to know that our reward. Will be you. We pray these things in the mighty name. Of our Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ. Amen.
