Hey everybody.

2

Welcome back to another edition

of the daily Bible podcast.

3

The climate change edition,

the climate change edition.

4

Thanks a lot.

5

One random nameless person that wrote

in a question about climate change.

6

Well, we don't want to put out.

7

Bryce, but whoa.

8

We'll just read his questions.

9

We're just going to do that though.

10

They don't know which price.

11

I should tell them Bryce Clancy,

then they would know who it was.

12

Then they would know exactly what I'm

not going to mention his last name.

13

We're going to keep that off the books.

14

That's good.

15

Here's what Bryce?

16

No last name says just initials.

17

Maybe BC.

18

Let's just keep it, keep it pretty simple.

19

Here is, is there any place for Christians

to take part in climate alarmism?

20

Uh, that is climate change as an

existential threat, or does the unilateral

21

nature of the Noah covenant dissociate

this associate man's responsibility

22

in the future destruction of earth.

23

As we know it.

24

At the second coming of Christ.

25

There's a lot of big

words in Bryce's question.

26

I know.

27

I feel, I feel smarter having read it.

28

I would feel even more smart if I

understood every single part of it.

29

The first time I read it.

30

Yeah.

31

Yeah.

32

Good question though, Bryce.

33

Helpful for us to, to kick

around and talk about.

34

Um, climate alarmism, I would say in

short the answer, I would say there

35

is no, um, there's no place for us to

be alarmist when it comes to climate.

36

Is there a place for us to be

wise stewards when it comes

37

to the climate or to yes.

38

In fact, I'd say that's part

of our creation mandate.

39

That's part of what God charged

mankind with from the garden is to

40

steward the earth, to, to tend the

garden, to take care of it, to work it.

41

Um, and so there's an element there

to which we, as Christians should

42

care about the world in which we

inhabit, because it is God's creation.

43

It's a world that he is

created for our wellbeing.

44

And so to, to go out of our

way to be intentionally.

45

Uh, negligent or, or destructive

to our environment is, is not

46

honoring to God's creation.

47

Um, so we should care about creation.

48

We should care about climate as far

as being an alarmist though, saying,

49

Hey look, there's ozone issues.

50

I remember growing up, it was

always, Hey, there's going to

51

be a hole in the ozone layer.

52

That's going to widen and

widen and wind and wind.

53

And then we're all gonna

just fried it down.

54

We all die.

55

Dude.

56

I love captain planet.

57

Now.

58

That was my show.

59

I watched that one all the time.

60

Fire.

61

By your powers combined.

62

I am captain plus.

63

So good.

64

Yeah.

65

Yeah.

66

I didn't realize how,

how much brainwashing.

67

Yes.

68

I didn't know it at the time, but

now I look back and think, wow.

69

Yeah.

70

They were, they were going after me.

71

Yeah.

72

And so Bryce, you bring up the new way

at Kevin and the new covenant obviously

73

goes back to God's promise, never to

destroy the earth again, um, in the

74

same manner that is by, by water.

75

He's not going to send a universal flood.

76

Uh, to take out mankind

because of its sin.

77

Um, now there is going to be judgment that

does come upon the whole earth in the end.

78

And when we read through the book of

revelation, there are natural disasters

79

taking place as part of God's judgment

in the book of revelation, including.

80

There are earthquakes.

81

There are meteors falling

from the sky there.

82

Uh, there are things that we could

one could point to and say, Hey,

83

maybe the, that this is part of

the destruction of the environment

84

based on climate and things.

85

But I don't know that I would

even be comfortable going there.

86

I think this is God's sovereignly

orchestrating the end of, of this creation

87

before he ushers in the new creation.

88

So sure.

89

We're not slaves to this

world would be my answer.

90

We're not slaves to the climate,

to the environment here.

91

So in that sense, I don't think we should

be alarmist in regards to the climate.

92

I think we should be wise stewards

in regards to the environment

93

in which we find ourselves.

94

Yes.

95

And amen.

96

I would, I would only add to

that, that it's I would emphasize

97

what you were saying earlier.

98

Christians.

99

Aren't supposed to be blahzay

about creation either.

100

We're not alarmist, but neither are we.

101

Passive.

102

In our stewardship.

103

I mean, I go to my way to pick up trash

or to do things that I think are going

104

to be helpful for my neighbors and,

and for the fact that God has made

105

me a steward of his creation as well.

106

So whatever side of the aisle

that you typically lean on,

107

and some of us are more.

108

I don't wanna say careless, but

it doesn't bother us as much.

109

And others are much more.

110

Concerned about, you know, what.

111

I have somebody who, when they see, uh,

you know, pillars of smoke coming out of

112

someone's car, you know, or the truck,

you know, when the truck lets out all that

113

black smoke in the air, we got, we got

a chemical and then a chemical plant, a.

114

I guess it's a cement plant nearby.

115

There's two cement for

the toll road, right?

116

Yeah.

117

Once for the toll road.

118

That's right next to us.

119

And then the other is this plant that's

been there since, before we showed up.

120

Anyway, they both put

out stuff in the air.

121

You could see it.

122

And for someone that I know, it

really bothers them and I get it.

123

I get it.

124

Like I don't, I don't like it.

125

I don't want it either.

126

I'm sure that breathing

it in is not helpful.

127

Right.

128

Uh, but, uh, and I don't think we

should be super like, yeah, let's just

129

put all this stuff in the air list.

130

Create fires.

131

I mean, but I don't want

to stop any barbecues.

132

I don't think we should legislate that.

133

I think barbecues and smokers.

134

Poker should continue.

135

Yes.

136

Praise the Lord.

137

Amen.

138

But no, we don't want

to be blahzay either.

139

We shouldn't be the kind of people

that are, uh, what, what's it, what's

140

a good word when someone gets up

your nose, because you're just so

141

obnoxious about some particular point.

142

Like, we don't want to

be those people, right.

143

We don't want to be so careless

about creation and pretend like, oh,

144

this doesn't matter how I treated.

145

It does matter.

146

And an ultimate sense of no, because God's

got all things under control, but there is

147

a, certainly a Tim poral impact that our.

148

Uh, you know, our stuff contributes

and whatever that is, we ought

149

to be wise stewards of it.

150

Yeah.

151

Yep.

152

I would agree.

153

So good question, Bryce.

154

Uh, maybe Bryce Clancy.

155

Maybe maybe, well, we don't

want to put him on blast.

156

I mean, we'll keep him anonymous,

anonymous, anonymous price.

157

Uh, good question.

158

If you guys have more questions, you can

always write into podcasts@compassntx.org,

159

and we will do our best to answer them.

160

So there you go.

161

That didn't have anything to do

necessarily with where we're at.

162

So you don't have to

ask questions that are.

163

Factoring didn't to exactly what we're

reading about or talking about the

164

can be, but they can be any questions.

165

That's a good question.

166

We'll use it.

167

Yeah.

168

Yep.

169

We like the lab, the entertain it.

170

We will, and maybe we'll

even be entertained by it.

171

That's true.

172

Um, yeah.

173

All right.

174

Uh, we are in Luke 22 in John 13.

175

Luke 22 and John 13, we are drawing.

176

Uh, to an end.

177

Or towards an end of

our time in the gospels.

178

Um, which is, I mean,

we're, we've only got one.

179

Um, just over a month and a

half left and we've still got

180

the rest in the new Testament.

181

Like we have what, after the gospel

is 23 more books to get through.

182

Oh, even Luke 22, man.

183

Right?

184

It's just like reading Luke 22 is

like reading half a first Timothy.

185

Yeah.

186

Cause it's huge.

187

Yeah.

188

I mean, it's, there's a lot

of techs that recovering.

189

I get, I get it.

190

It's a, it's a lot of texts that we're

going to be covering, but still not

191

gonna be alive every time, no matter

what the all I'm saying is every time,

192

no matter what the reading plan is, we

get to this point in the year and I'm

193

thinking to myself, there's no way.

194

We're going to finish

reading the Bible in a year.

195

There's no way we're going to get through

23 more books in less than two months.

196

How do you, but you've done

this like million times at this.

197

Well, not this plan.

198

I mean, I see there's still

time that we may not make it.

199

You're right.

200

I'm looking at it in my hand, I'm

looking at the card and they not make it.

201

And I know it fits, but I

just don't know how it fits.

202

Okay.

203

So, all right, Luke 22 opens up with

the, uh, the plot to kill Jesus.

204

And so the chief priests, the scribes,

again, they're gathering together.

205

We've seen this before.

206

They're getting ready to figure out

how do we put an end to this guy?

207

Uh, Luke 22, 3 36, then you get Judases

plot his own decision to betray Jesus.

208

And there's an interesting thing here.

209

PR I'd love to get your thoughts on this.

210

Um, The question I have is when

did Satan enter into Judas?

211

Because we saw an in the gospel of John

that it took place in the upper room.

212

It's that it was playing in the text

there that after Jesus dipped the

213

morsel in the bowl and, and, and told

Judas, go do what you're going to do.

214

Satan entered into Judas

from that time forward.

215

Here.

216

It says even when he goes to the chief

priests, which I think is prior to

217

the Passover and everything it says

here in Luke 22, 3 Satan entered

218

into Judas called a scarier who

was one of the number of the 12th.

219

The answer is yes.

220

Because Satan is not

omnipresent and he's not.

221

He can't be in multiple places

at multiple places at once.

222

Like the Lord can there, there, there

had to have been occasions where Satan

223

was pushing the ball forward, as it

were by saying, I need to inhabit this

224

guy to, to do such and such an activity

in this case to betray Jesus with the

225

money and to go to the Jewish leaders.

226

So it's very possible.

227

And my estimation likely that

there are multiple occasions where

228

Satan is intervening directly with

Judas and times where he wasn't.

229

So it was there for a moment, then

gone there for a moment and then

230

gone to accomplish his purposes.

231

What do you think about that?

232

Yeah, I would agree.

233

Yeah, exactly.

234

In, in similar.

235

Though very much different to in the

old Testament, the holy spirit, when

236

the holy spirit would rush upon.

237

A person.

238

And empower them for that moment.

239

The holy spirit obviously is God

is omnipresent, but the way that

240

he operated in the old Testament

was he would temporarily.

241

Influence a person, right?

242

Yeah.

243

And then leave and go sometimes return

to them again and so forth and so on.

244

And so similar concept here

with, with Satan, I think.

245

Passover then in Luke 22 7

3 13, um, unleavened bread.

246

This is the upper room.

247

This is when Jesus is instituting

this with the bread and the

248

wine and the symbolism there.

249

The Memorial element of that.

250

Um, calling them to remember these

things and in making that statement

251

that he would eat it again.

252

Uh, with them in the future, the

institution of the Lord's supper

253

there in verses 14 through 23.

254

Th this is a more expanded, expanded

treatment than what we've seen previously.

255

I mentioned this, I think in

yesterday's or the day before episode,

256

Luke 22, 20 Jesus specifically

here mentions the new covenant.

257

And so when we talk about the, the cup.

258

That represents the covenant.

259

He is talking about the Jeremiah 31

31 and following the new covenant.

260

And Jesus is inaugurating that

it's an already, not yet reality.

261

It's already being enjoyed by those

who are his followers presently,

262

but it will be fully realized.

263

Uh, with Israel in the millennial kingdom.

264

And when it is brought to

it's for combination, but it's

265

inaugurated here at the cross.

266

And prior to that, with

the, the upper room.

267

We have 2219.

268

Notice the word remembrance that informs

the reason why in the model of communion

269

that we observe here at compass Bible

church, there are multiple different

270

ways that people do communion and.

271

I think there are a couple that I think.

272

One in particular.

273

Uh, transubstantiation, which is

the Catholic view that the, the

274

elements literally become the,

the body and blood of Christ.

275

I think that's outside

the bounds of orthodoxy.

276

I think that crosses a line, um,

that scripture does not teach.

277

And I think it's, it's very

dangerous ground at minimum.

278

It could possibly even cross the, the,

the ground, the lines into obscuring,

279

the gospel perverting, the gospel.

280

That Christ is.

281

An ongoing sacrifice with them.

282

So there's that view?

283

Um, they say here.

284

It just says here.

285

Someone might be confused.

286

It says, this is my body.

287

Right.

288

Uh, it sounds like Jesus is saying

that that's bread is his buddy.

289

Right, right.

290

And yet.

291

We know in the disciples around the table,

there knew that it was metaphorical.

292

In fact, it would have been a.

293

It would have been forbidden and against

the Jewish law for them to actually

294

eat flesh and drink literal blood.

295

So as they're around the table

and he's passing out the bread.

296

Uh, none of the disciples are

thinking, this is literally the flesh

297

that we're eating of the son of God.

298

Now.

299

I don't think they fully

understood what they were doing.

300

Either at that point, except that

perhaps there was some connections back

301

to the Passover and the, the lamb and

the sacrifice there, but they, they

302

understood it as metaphorical as well.

303

And I think we see that

as, as Paul picks up in.

304

In first Corinthians chapter 11, which

is what we read every single time we do

305

community as a church, do this as re.

306

As often as you do in remembrance

of me, when we do something in

307

remembrance, it's meant to be a Memorial.

308

And that's what communion is for us.

309

It causes us to look back to reflect

on the sacrifice of Christ on our

310

behalf, his death specifically.

311

And to be grateful for that.

312

That's our model of communion.

313

There's other models out there.

314

Consubstantiation the Lutheran view.

315

Uh, the, our reform brothers do

more of a, a, um, Spiritualized

316

participation in the Lord's supper

where it's the spiritual body in blood.

317

But, but that one to me is just

a little bit too intangible

318

to try to wrap my mind around.

319

How am I supposed to experience

what you're talking about here?

320

I think as we treat it as a Memorial,

it's, it's helpful for us moving forward.

321

Yeah, and it makes perfect sense

too, that on the heels of that,

322

where Jesus is saying, look,

I'm going to die for your sake.

323

I'm going to, I'm going

to serve you in this way.

324

That don't one would naturally think.

325

How do I become greatest though?

326

Yeah.

327

That's yeah, that's where I go.

328

I mean, I don't know about.

329

That's the first thing I was thinking.

330

So I'm glad to see that I

wasn't alone in that, right?

331

Yeah, exactly.

332

Yeah.

333

Yeah.

334

Talk about being tone deaf, right.

335

Yeah.

336

And that's verses 24 through 30.

337

That's the right on the heels

that they're arguing about.

338

Who's going to be greatest.

339

Um, but if you'll note versa, verse

30, there is going to be greatness

340

that you may eat and drink at the

table in my kingdom and sit on Thrones,

341

judging the 12 tribes of Israel.

342

So they are going to be great

in the millennial kingdom.

343

Uh, not when they're expecting

greatness, not in the path that they

344

would have expected greatness at

this time, but they will be great.

345

And these disciples will hold unique

places within the millennial kingdom when

346

Christ does return and establish that.

347

Versus 31 through 34.

348

You get Peter's denials.

349

Uh, four told again.

350

And here's the great statement

that Satan has demanded to sift.

351

Y'all.

352

So do you plural there when

he says that in verse 31, but

353

then Jesus turns to Peter.

354

And says, but Peter I've prayed for you

in that it's singular there I've prayed

355

that your faith singular may not fail.

356

And when you have turned again,

Strengthen your brothers.

357

And so Jesus is saying you're, you're

going to falter, but I'm, I'm praying

358

that you're not going to fail.

359

And when you've turned again, when

you've repented, when you've been

360

restored, which we're going to see that

in John 21, Then I'm praying that you

361

are going to strengthen your brothers.

362

And we see that in the rest

of Peter's ministry as well.

363

That's right.

364

And then God uses those things so

many times and all of our lives

365

and falling flat on your face.

366

Uh, after a season of some kind of

success, I think is just part of

367

the Christian growth experience.

368

If you're, if you're a.

369

If you're one of these people right now,

you're Peter you're flat on your face.

370

Just see that God has intentions for this.

371

He has purposes.

372

Jesus is interceding on your behalf.

373

We take great comfort in that.

374

Uh, but dust yourself off and try again.

375

As the old song goes.

376

Or as the proverb says, you

know, Man falls seven times

377

or six times gets up seven.

378

Yes.

379

Who was it?

380

Was that Destiny's child.

381

I think so.

382

Yeah.

383

I'm ashamed about that.

384

Uh, I pulled it out to you, man.

385

Both of us there.

386

Um, versus 35, 50, 38, then Jesus moves

to help prepare them for life without him.

387

And he says, lucky things

are going to change.

388

You haven't needed any, anything.

389

When you've been with me,

you're going to need things.

390

You're going to need supplies.

391

You're going to need.

392

Uh, in fact, you're going to

need self-defense mechanisms.

393

You're going to have to

take a sword with you.

394

You're going to have to go out

and things are going to get rough.

395

And so he's trying to help the disciples,

understand things are gonna change.

396

And it's going to be harder.

397

And so just understand

there's a paradigm shift.

398

That's coming your way.

399

How many guns should we have?

400

Uh, well they, they say, look,

here are two swords, which

401

that's an interesting verse.

402

I read there's a lot of different

views on what they're, what they're

403

sending they're right there aren't any.

404

I think I lean on your, your understanding

of it, but there's certainly more

405

than one way to approach that.

406

Yeah.

407

I mean, It is he, he tells

them to take a sword, right?

408

So, but I think he cautions

against an overemphasis on that.

409

That you've you've got one.

410

You're good.

411

Yeah, you're fine.

412

Don't go overboard on it.

413

Yeah.

414

You don't need a, you don't need

a gun closet necessarily, right?

415

I think a gun is perhaps wise, right?

416

Yeah.

417

Some people think that there's,

there's spiritual meaning in this.

418

To take the store to the spirit, you know?

419

That kind of thing.

420

I think, I think the, the plain

reading is the best reading where

421

it's like, okay, you're going to get

some, self-defense be wise be shrewd.

422

Yeah.

423

That's kind of the sense that

I get, but don't overdo it.

424

You know, don't put your trust

in the thing, put your trust

425

in me, but don't be foolish.

426

Totally.

427

Yep.

428

I agree with you.

429

Uh, versus 39 through 46,

then the prayer in the garden.

430

And Luke's unique in a couple of ways.

431

Number one, he only records

that Jesus prayed once.

432

He doesn't say that he only prayed once,

but he only records the one time of going

433

in and praying that the cup would pass.

434

But.

435

He adds the features of an angel

ministering to Jesus while he's

436

praying and the agony that produced

great sweat that looked like drops

437

of blood falling from his brow.

438

I know some people have argued that

he was actually sweating blood, and

439

they've gone to say that this is a

medical condition that can happen.

440

Um, my take on it is.

441

It was as though he was dropping

drips of blood or drops of blood from

442

his forehead because of the great

agony with which he was intruding the

443

father and praying at this moment.

444

Yeah, it's possible.

445

I don't know that I strongly have a firm.

446

Understanding either way to say it's

definitely this or definitely that, but

447

I think the point is that he's already

beginning to suffer on behalf of humanity.

448

Because he knows that he's about

to take on and it's again, I

449

want to make the point here.

450

He, he tells the disciples

who were falling asleep.

451

Uh, there are things that are

more important than sleep when

452

your body's screaming for it.

453

And you're saying, I need

to get rest, which is true.

454

Most of the time that's going to

be the case, but here he says,

455

it's better for you to stay awake.

456

Yeah.

457

Because you're about to be

tempted in ways that you're not

458

prepared for get, get to pray in.

459

Yep.

460

Yup.

461

From here we go to the betrayal and

the arrest in verses 47 through 53.

462

Uh, the question of Judas was more

of a rebuke to him than it was

463

actually looking for him to respond.

464

When Jesus says to him, Judas, would

you betray the son of man with a kiss?

465

Um, he's not.

466

Uh, looking for Judas to answer this

is rhetorical and it's kind of a rebuke

467

to Judas as Judas has come into to

do this, um, because it was a great

468

perversion of an act of what would have

otherwise been an act of friendship,

469

which in the other account we read

that he called you to his friend.

470

And so all of this is going to, to.

471

Kind of twist the dagger a little bit.

472

Would you just to say you, I don't

think you know what you're doing.

473

Um, right now.

474

Uh, in this moment.

475

Versus 54, 360 2, the full fruition.

476

The fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy

about Peter's denials Luke here

477

at the detailed Jesus turning

to look at Peter in that moment.

478

Oh, yeah.

479

Yep.

480

On that one.

481

At Hertz.

482

Yeah, it does.

483

And Peter goes out and weeps.

484

Um, And yet.

485

We see the fruition or the, the,

the answer to Jesus' prayer here.

486

I think because we're going to find

that that Judas regrets, what he

487

does, we're going to see that later

Judas regrets, what he does goes

488

and tries to throw the money back.

489

They don't take it.

490

And then Judas goes out and kills himself.

491

Peter.

492

Probably distraught, maybe not as,

as greatly as Judas was because

493

he didn't actually betray Jesus,

but denied him those three times.

494

How did Jesus look at him in that moment?

495

And.

496

Peter goes out distraught as well.

497

And yet God's preserving

grace in Peter's life.

498

Keeps him from going the same

direction that Judas went.

499

Right.

500

Hand-eye and preserves in there.

501

So some of the answer to that

prayer that that was earlier.

502

Versus 63, 365.

503

He's in custody.

504

Um, there again at kyphosis

house being held there.

505

Uh, and then he appears before

Caiaphas in verses 66 through

506

71 kyphosis interviewing him.

507

And again, when Jesus

says, you say that I am.

508

Um, he's he is giving an

affirmative answer there.

509

That was a way to say yes.

510

You said it?

511

Yeah.

512

Yeah.

513

So it's it.

514

Everything else he's staying

silent, but here he says, yeah,

515

you you've said that I am.

516

And, uh, So, yeah, there you go.

517

That's a Luke 22.

518

It's a good thing.

519

We've preached through John 13 because we

don't have enough time to go over it in a

520

lot of detail, but this is the upper room.

521

This is the reason it's the same timing

because Luke and the others don't go

522

into as much detail as John does, but

we've seen this as we preach through it.

523

Again, you've got Judas there.

524

You've got the revealing of Judas.

525

You've got the washing of the feet.

526

Peter's interaction with Jesus.

527

When Jesus tells Peter, you

know what, you're already clean.

528

I think that goes back to John six.

529

When Peter said you have the

words of life and we have come to

530

know that you are the son of God.

531

That profession of faith in, and then

just needing the full completion of that.

532

And that completion was going to be

the act of the cross or the washing

533

of the feet, which was going to

demonstrate that in indicate that.

534

Uh, verses 12 through 17 and

example to follow, not necessarily

535

footwear washing per se, but, but

serving in, in meeting that need

536

and humiliating, humbling ourselves

to the point of being willing to.

537

Did do something that we would never

do because we're willing, we, we

538

love the person and we're willing

to humble ourselves to that degree.

539

Uh, to serve them.

540

Um, again, yeah, Judas

identified by Jesus.

541

You've got the new commandment,

love one another as I've loved you.

542

And then you've got Peter's

denials predicted here in John 13.

543

Anything from you?

544

Yeah on John 13, what's new

about the new commandment.

545

As in that kind of an old

commandment isn't nobody says, yeah.

546

It's the last part as I've loved you.

547

Um, which is going to be

fully understood at the cross.

548

They had never had a paradigm like

that wherein God loved them with

549

a self sacrificial love that he.

550

About to do with the cross.

551

Hmm.

552

Yeah, that's an important part that we

often, I think a lot of us know this.

553

Some of us have this memorized.

554

But having that sense of, uh,

understanding why the new commandment

555

is new is because of what Jesus has

done that continues to reinforce

556

the way that we love people.

557

Even today.

558

I love that he gives his sacrificial.

559

It's it's a one-time act on our behalf,

but it has reverberating effects

560

for the totality of our lives, which

is why then we can draw upon that.

561

And still love our enemies and love

our kids and love our spouses and

562

love our employers or employees.

563

Uh, that kind of love transforms every

human relationship that you have.

564

If you understand it.

565

Yeah.

566

Yep.

567

Well, Hey, let's pray.

568

And then we'll be done with another

episode of the daily Bible podcast.

569

God.

570

We thank you for this day.

571

And it being Sunday, we are grateful

for the day to gather with our church

572

body and our church, family, and God, we

want to be those that love one another.

573

Well, within the context of the

church, within the context of the

574

family, of, of the body of Christ here.

575

And so help us to do that.

576

A little bit.

577

We're so thankful that you, you say

you, you were praying for Peter.

578

And even as we're going to look at it a

little bit this morning, the reality is

579

that your crisis right now, interceding

for all of us, he's praying for all of

580

us, that our faith may not fail, but that

we would persevere and endure to the end.

581

And so that's such a comforting

thought for us as well.

582

And I know.

583

As Peter looked back at this, he probably

appreciated those words that Jesus spoke

584

to him in such a greater much greater

way than he did when he first heard them.

585

Um, and yet it's a reality that

all of us get to enjoy as well.

586

So we're thankful for Christ ongoing

work on our behalf, and we just pray

587

that you would be pleased with the way

that we live our life today and that we

588

live in service to you in Jesus name.

589

Amen.

590

Amen.

591

Keeping your Bibles y'all tune

in again tomorrow for another

592

episode of the daily Bible.

593

Podcast, please.

594

And thank you.

595

Bye.
