Happy Saturday.

3

Happy Saturday indeed.

4

In te Technology, I'm feeling deja vu.

5

Deja vu.

6

Yeah.

7

Maybe 'cause we just did this and

then it stopped recording on us.

8

If we had ai, if we had implemented

in this process, then they, it could

9

just take over and do it for us.

10

Here's the thing I was

talking about it before the.

11

Computer rudely just deleted everything.

12

I'll just give you the short version.

13

There's a book called 2084 by John Lennox.

14

I commend it to you.

15

It's available on, Kindle Unlimited.

16

If you've got that for

free, you can read it there.

17

Yeah, he's a believer and he

writes about the implications

18

of AI from a broad spectrum.

19

But you were saying before I rudely cut

you off because everything disappeared.

20

There's this thing called a GI,

artificial general Intelligence, which

21

is this idea that somehow AI is gonna

get to the place where it no longer

22

needs human interference of any sort.

23

That it can replicate

itself, continue to progress.

24

And you were saying, I don't think

it'll ever get there because of

25

the fact that that's something

that belongs to the image of God.

26

Right?

27

Yeah.

28

And, I do think that AI is gonna

be able to do incredible things.

29

I do think and I'd be curious to read this

book that you referenced, to see some of

30

these ideas of the implications of it.

31

I do think it's gonna do incredible

things for good and for bad, but one

32

of the things that a lot of people

suggest that it's gonna be is sentient.

33

And I think from a biblical

worldview, that is not a possibility.

34

And I think that goes all the way

back to the creation account in

35

Genesis and the Imago day that

we're made in the image of God.

36

God is sentient and he makes us

in his image and we are sentient

37

in a unique, special way.

38

No computer program from a

biblical worldview is going to

39

be able to do that technically.

40

You know, I don't know all the

details, but I'm gonna argue

41

that I have enough ground to say

that just from scripture alone.

42

Again, it's gonna do some crazy things.

43

Even my car, you know, drive,

drive around, you don't drive.

44

No, I don't drive.

45

I don't drive.

46

Your car drives you.

47

It does everywhere you go.

48

Yeah.

49

On my way to men's Bible study tomorrow,

my car is going to just to ferry me

50

over there and like it connects to

your calendar you were saying, so you

51

don't even have to tell it where to go.

52

It's like just sit back.

53

It makes assumptions

about where I'm gonna go.

54

And loads it in.

55

I can change it.

56

I can change it.

57

It's not Well now you've,

eventually, now I can change it.

58

Eventually Elon's gonna be

like, no, don't touch that.

59

I know where you're supposed to go.

60

But yeah, it assumes where I'm

gonna go and loads it in and I

61

just push a button and off we go.

62

That's wild.

63

Yeah.

64

And yet your wife's car's not like that.

65

So when you drive Julia's car, do

you ever get in it and you're like,

66

oh yeah, I've gotta, actually,

I've gotta push the pedals.

67

It is actually weird.

68

It is, it is actually weird to switch to

fossil fuel and all that stuff, you know?

69

Yeah.

70

Well, I mean, I've got the electric

car, so I'm not on the fossil

71

fuel train, but my car does not

drive me where I need it to go.

72

If I got in my car, I was like, go home.

73

It would be like, you go

home, I'm not going home.

74

I don't even know what

you're talking about.

75

Yeah.

76

My car even has ai, so I can talk to

it with, uh, with like the LLM Yeah.

77

Is is in the car so I can talk

to it and actually tell it.

78

I can actually speak.

79

Go home, take me home.

80

And it will and it will, it

will actually do that, dude.

81

Okay, so we need to talk

about ai something else.

82

Have you seen the meme going around

and I tried it and it's, it's legitimate

83

where if you ask an AI agent with the

voice component of it to tell you how

84

many Rs are in the word strawberry.

85

Yes, I am seeing that.

86

Mark.

87

How many Rs are in the word strawberry?

88

Uh, let me ask my AI real quick.

89

Yeah, yeah.

90

It, it's amazing how

many of them kick back.

91

Two.

92

Yes.

93

Right.

94

And and the one that I've seen it the

most with is the chat GBT AI voice agent.

95

So, and it sticks to it.

96

I try.

97

It's, it's, you, you can like,

be like all I think you're wrong.

98

And it will, it will, it will

accuse you of being wrong.

99

Right.

100

I won though.

101

I, so I did it with chat GT.

102

And, and it, I eventually got it to

admit, oh yeah, no, there's three.

103

And I said, well, that doesn't gimme a

lot of confidence since you're supposed

104

to be the superhuman intelligence.

105

Like that's a pretty basic

mistake for you to make.

106

Uh, and it was like, well, you

know, I'm, I'm sorry, but, uh, this

107

is still a learning curve for us.

108

So then I tried it with perplexity,

uh, which is another AI agent.

109

Same thing.

110

Two.

111

So you should feel good though,

because I did try it with grok.

112

Grok was the only one that I tried

it on that got it right from the

113

outset, and it was like, there's

three, what are you talking about?

114

So that's, that's good.

115

I have more confidence that

I'm gonna make it home.

116

If you need to get off on like

Strawberry Lane, your car's

117

gonna know how to do that.

118

That's good.

119

Yeah, that's good.

120

Is there a strawberry lane around here?

121

Probably not, but you know, I

could say I'm really hungry from

122

some, for some strawberries.

123

Yeah, please take me.

124

Yeah, to somewhere I can get

them and it would do that.

125

It it seriously though y'all,

if just open up gr chat GBT to

126

the voice agent and just ask it.

127

How many RSS are in the word strawberry?

128

I don't know if it's still doing it

or if they've updated everything,

129

but it's fascinating to hear it go.

130

There's two.

131

And then what I did after that,

I was like, spell strawberry.

132

And it did with all three Rs in it.

133

And I was like, how many

Rs did you just say?

134

He was like two.

135

I said, look, again, like.

136

I mean, I've got five kids at home, right?

137

And my younger ones are in

the spelling and phonic stage.

138

Like they would've given, gotten it right.

139

They would've been

like, there's three dad.

140

What are you talking about?

141

Anyways, yeah.

142

Now what are we even talking about?

143

We're talking about the Bible.

144

So let's get into it.

145

Genesis chapter 41, only one

chapter in Genesis today.

146

Little bit longer one, a little

bit longer, and then half a

147

chapter of Matthew chapter 13.

148

Uh, man.

149

Yeah.

150

So chapter 41 it is a little

bit of a longer chapter, however

151

I, it's pretty straightforward.

152

I mean, again, we mentioned it

at the end of yesterday's podcast

153

that, or middle of the podcast.

154

Joseph spends two more years in

jail before Pharaoh has this dream.

155

The cut bearer who was restored to

his position as Joseph had told him

156

he would, as God told him he would

through Joseph, he remembers Joseph.

157

At that point, and Joseph is called

up and here's Pharaoh's dream.

158

He's, I've got these seven

cows, they're lean, here comes

159

seven or seven plump cows.

160

Here comes seven lean cows.

161

The lean cows eat the plump cows.

162

And then you've got the grain

and the sheaths of grain as well.

163

And Joseph says, okay,

here's your interpretation.

164

Now, Joseph, being a man of God

is clear to make sure that Pharaoh

165

understands that this is an

interpretation that is coming from God.

166

In fact, look at verse 25.

167

It says, the dreams of Pharaoh

are one God has revealed to

168

Pharaoh what he's about to do.

169

And then Pharaoh tells him about the

seven years of famine and the seven

170

years of plenty that are coming after

this Joseph's Council follows where

171

he says, you need to put somebody in

charge who's going to be able to help

172

Egypt get through this famine time.

173

And that really paves the way.

174

'cause Pharaoh says, well, who

is gonna be wiser than you are?

175

Nobody else could interpret these dreams.

176

You've done this Joseph,

you're gonna be the guy.

177

And Joseph's story in chapter 41 really

is the rags to riches story right now.

178

He goes from the rags of the prison to the

riches of being second in command of, or.

179

All of Egypt, second in command

in Potiphar's house, second

180

in command in jail to second

in command over all of Egypt.

181

And there's a background

that's going on here as well.

182

So as much as we look at this

and go, oh man, God is showing

183

favor to Joseph, this is good.

184

There's also something that's taking

place here that's going to set up what's

185

going to happen in Exodus because as.

186

Egypt is facing this decimating

plague or famine rather.

187

The Egyptians are basically going to

yield and seed all of their power to

188

Pharaoh such that by the time we get

to Joseph or to Moses' era, that's

189

how Pharaoh has so much power over the

Egyptians and why they all fear him and

190

while why Israel is gonna be oppressed by

him and why he has so much clout there.

191

Because of this time where Joseph

is saying, I'm going to help

192

the nation get through there.

193

Well, in this process, we're

gonna see, he's gonna buy up

194

everything from the Egyptians.

195

And all of that's gonna go to Pharaoh.

196

So interesting things going on in

God's sovereignty in Chapter 41.

197

And I think that goes to some

of the themes that we've seen

198

throughout Genesis of Egypt.

199

I guess I should say, throughout the

whole Bible of Egypt being a place of

200

false salvation, this account of Joseph

is obviously positive right then, and

201

in some sense, in very true sense,

Egypt saves Israel right through the.

202

The food that's provided because of Joseph

and because of God working through Joseph.

203

But yeah, this actually doesn't

end up being a good thing.

204

I mean, obviously God is sovereign.

205

Obviously God is watching

out for the people of Israel.

206

But to your point, because of

these things that happen, it's

207

actually not a permanent s solution.

208

It's not true ultimate salvation that

the people of Israel really need.

209

And again, we see that theme of Egypt

being a place of false salvation.

210

And I think that's where we

see that theme reoccur here.

211

Yeah.

212

Yeah, I would agree.

213

Yeah, I think you're right there.

214

But man, yeah, this is an amazing

story of God blessing Joseph, and I

215

think blessing Joseph's godliness.

216

You look back to the situation

with Potiphar's wife.

217

If Joseph had compromised and

given in there, then this

218

is a totally different story.

219

He might be dead.

220

He might be dead, he might be dead.

221

And yet at the same time, we

might say, well, yeah, but

222

God's sovereign over all of it.

223

He's sovereign over all of it, but

we're living it out in real time.

224

I was just having lunch with

somebody this week and talking to

225

them about prayer in that regard.

226

Like, yes, God is sovereign, and I

wholly understand that and believe that.

227

And yet at the same time, he sovereignly

ordains us to pray for things that

228

he's going to use the answer to those

prayers in the accomplishing of his will.

229

So God was sovereign.

230

Joseph was never gonna give

it into Potiphar's wife.

231

But he still had to resist in

the moment to Potiphar's wife.

232

And so God is rewarding

his faithfulness here.

233

He's bringing him to this point.

234

Time note there in verse 46.

235

Joseph's 30 years old, so he's

still a young man at this point

236

when, all this has taken place.

237

Yeah.

238

Amazing.

239

And even in verse 46, right?

240

It says Joseph went out.

241

From the presence of Pharaoh, and

then he went through all the land

242

of Egypt, to your point, right.

243

God is sovereign, but he then

does what he needs to do, right?

244

He goes, and then he

executes this plan, it.

245

It's not that he just then goes and feasts

and relaxes and says, oh God, sovereign

246

and he's gonna take care of these things.

247

Right?

248

He's acting as an actual agent

in God's plan, which is amazing.

249

And it's also true for us today too.

250

I mean, we don't have these narrative

accounts of the Exodus and some of these

251

amazing things that the prophets do.

252

But don't discount that God is sovereign

over every aspect of your life.

253

He's sovereign over every little

tiny thing that happens, every

254

decision, everything, but at the

same time, he's calling you to.

255

To faithfulness.

256

He's calling you to do things to act.

257

Yeah.

258

, and we can't oversimplify, his

sovereignty, and just say, oh, well,

259

that means we don't have to do anything.

260

Yeah.

261

Joseph, notice Mary's an Egyptian

I think it's She's a priestess.

262

Mm-hmm.

263

Right?

264

She's the daughter of pot

of Farah, the priest of on.

265

So this.

266

Pagan False God.

267

Yeah.

268

Yeah.

269

This pagan priestess Joseph marries

her, and from her come to half tribes

270

of Israel, Manas and m uh, manas is

going to be referenced in the Bible.

271

Ephraim is gonna come to significance.

272

M is gonna be basically the standin for

the northern kingdom eventually, and

273

even for all of Israel for that matter.

274

So, later on we're gonna see

that when Jacob gets here,

275

he's gonna save these two.

276

Hey, Joseph, these two are mine.

277

Any of the other kids

that you had after them?

278

They're yours, but these two are mine,

which is always interesting to me.

279

I wonder, you know, kind of the

thought process there, but they

280

become half tribes of Israel.

281

Why are they half tribes?

282

Because they're not

directly related to Jacob.

283

Jacob by his lineage.

284

They're through Joseph.

285

So that's why they're the half tribes.

286

Yeah.

287

And again, I know you already

mentioned this, but just

288

don't miss the fact that this.

289

This whole thing is stunning.

290

I mean, remember that when Joseph's

brothers show up, they can't even

291

eat at the same table, right?

292

Because, because shepherds, because

people who are not Egyptians are just

293

so despised and looked down on this.

294

This is a stunning rise from.

295

Somebody who's in jail incarcerated

and is the lowest of the low all

296

the way to the second in command.

297

And I think we see what God is doing

and in part he's fulfilling the promise

298

that he gave to Abraham that through.

299

His family.

300

Mm-hmm.

301

He would be a blessing to all the earth.

302

In verse 57, it says, all

the earth came to Egypt.

303

Mm-hmm.

304

To Joseph to buy grain.

305

I mean, obviously that's not the final

and greatest fulfillment of that,

306

but I think we're getting hints and

fortas of how Abraham's family is

307

indeed going to bless the whole earth.

308

Yeah.

309

Yeah, absolutely.

310

Well, let's jump over to Matthew

chapter 13, and we are gonna

311

be in verses one through 32.

312

And what we find here are the parables.

313

And these are gonna be again,

a familiar portion of Jesus's

314

teaching in the gospels.

315

Some of these are, sometimes people

say, these are some of the favorite

316

portions of Jesus's teaching here.

317

But I think what we see in the parables

is actually the mercy of Jesus shown.

318

In teaching in a veiled form or fashion

here mercy on two fronts, mercy to those

319

that come around to understand, because

it's a, it's a, maybe it's a grace to them

320

in that they get some confirmation from

the Lord that because you have ears to

321

hear and eyes to see, that's a sign that

you get it that you're on the right path.

322

But it's a mercy to those that don't

understand because the Bible also

323

teaches us that to whom much is

given, much will be required and.

324

For the end believer, the more

exposure they have to the word of God

325

and to the things of God the greater

level of accountability they're

326

going to have when they stand before

God someday for rejecting Christ.

327

If you think back to Jesus saying, woe

to you, Capernaum, woe to you Corzine

328

because if the work's done in you had been

done in Tyra inside and Sodom Gomorrah,

329

they would've repented in sackcloth.

330

But you're gonna have a strict judgment.

331

And so it's kind of that idea

here that I think leads Jesus

332

to teach in parables so that.

333

All of these crowds that are gathered

around him won't be accountable

334

necessarily for extra that that

otherwise they would've had, they

335

heard what he said plainly and

then rejected it and walked away.

336

I think you're right.

337

I would add though, I do think it's

mercy to those groups, but I do think

338

it's also judgment to the Pharisees.

339

Sure.

340

Jesus is fully capable of making

anybody understand anything to.

341

A perfect degree, and

it says, I'm skipping.

342

We're jumping over the parable of the

solar, which I'm sure we'll wanna talk

343

about a little bit, but right in, in

the purpose of the parables as the

344

ESV titles, that section, it says to

you, it has been given to know the

345

secrets of the kingdom of heaven,

but to them it has not been given.

346

And again, Jesus.

347

Could make them understand.

348

Right.

349

Jesus could explain these things to

the Pharisees but he is specifically

350

saying it has not been given to them.

351

And so I think he speaks in parables,

partly in judgment of the Pharisees,

352

because to them it hasn't been given.

353

I think you're also right though that it

is a mercy to, to those other two groups.

354

Yeah.

355

Yeah.

356

And.

357

You mentioned the parable of the sower.

358

We have the parable of

the sower explained.

359

We've got the parable of the

weeds, the parable of the mustard

360

seed, and the parable of 11.

361

What is a parable?

362

I guess that's a good place that we

should probably hit on or start with.

363

And that is it's a story with a point.

364

It's a story with a moral and a

lot of times what Jesus was doing,

365

why we read a lot of agricultural

parables is because that's the

366

context in which Jesus was talking.

367

If Jesus showed up here in prosper

and came to our church, uh, well.

368

I mean, we'd have a lot of things to say

about that, but if it was today, Jesus

369

wouldn't be using agrarian terminology,

at least not in this context, because

370

that's not our bread and butter.

371

He would use different things, so

he's going after them, and this is

372

what any good illustration should do.

373

It should be understandable.

374

It should be accessible.

375

If you're using an illustration with

somebody and they don't understand

376

that they've got no frame of reference

to understand where you're at, then

377

your illustration's gonna fall short.

378

And so Jesus is using an illustration.

379

They would understand.

380

They've all either planted seeds or

known somebody who has, they've been

381

around this, and so that's why he

uses that agrarian example in both the

382

parable of the sower and the parable

of the weeds, and even the mustard

383

seed in the lemon here in the context.

384

So why on Sundays do you preach a sermon?

385

Why not just get up behind the

pulpit and tell some parables to us?

386

Well, because I'm called to

preach the word of God, right?

387

And that's Paul Sharjah, Timothy,

preach the word in season, outta season.

388

Be ready.

389

And this is what we are there to do.

390

I'm not there to stand up and tell

a story from my own life that is

391

gonna be on par with anything that

I could preach from the word of God.

392

Now, as a faithful preacher, I need to be.

393

Giving illustrations.

394

I need to be giving

examples, word pictures.

395

But that's always gonna be different from

when I'm saying, okay, look at the Bible.

396

Look at what the word of

God is saying right here.

397

Let's read the words

together of what it's saying.

398

That carries a different weight

than when I say it's like this.

399

Lemme tell you a story

about my kids, right?

400

Lemme tell you a story about my marriage.

401

Lemme tell you a story about this.

402

And so the reason I don't do this

is because the thing that is

403

most authoritative and profitable

on a Sunday morning is the word

404

of God not the word of man.

405

Yeah.

406

And Jesus is the word of God.

407

Right?

408

Right.

409

So this is the word of God,

very much inaction here.

410

Yeah.

411

And so yeah, we don't do parables on

a Sunday in the same way that Jesus

412

does because we're not the word of God.

413

Yeah, yeah.

414

A couple notes on these parables

in the parable of the sower.

415

If you look at this and then you look

over at the parable of the sower explained

416

I think there's really only one genuine

salvation here, and that is the good

417

soil and everything else is not genuine.

418

And even those that might argue

with that and say, but there, there

419

was some life in some of these

other soils that life didn't last.

420

And what we understand

from scripture is genuine.

421

Genuine salvation does last.

422

It perseveres, it endures to the end.

423

And I think that's the

consistent testimony of

424

scripture over and over again.

425

For example, in Ephesians chapter

one, when it says, when you heard the

426

word of faith, the gospel, you were

sealed with the promised Holy Spirit

427

as a guarantee of your inheritance.

428

First Peter, chapter one, as we, we

talked about, you're being guarded by

429

God's power through faith for salvation

ready to be revealed in the last times.

430

So the consistent testimony in

scripture is that once you are

431

genuinely saved you're saved.

432

You're not going to fall away.

433

That implies then that these other

soils were those that did fall away

434

and they never were truly saved.

435

This is not somebody who loses

their salvation because we don't

436

believe you can lose your salvation.

437

Yeah and this is really tough in practice.

438

I imagine many of you.

439

Had somebody who you cared about

or loved deeply who claimed

440

Christ and then walked away.

441

We need to be saddened by that.

442

Yes.

443

I don't think we should

be callous towards that.

444

Don't percent.

445

I don't think we should be.

446

We should be disinterested in

that we should be saddened, but.

447

Because Jesus has given us this parable.

448

We shouldn't be surprised when there are

people who claim Christ, but then these

449

effects happen to them again, don't we?

450

We need to maintain a true despair

over those things not ultimate

451

despair, but we need to be.

452

We need to be saddened by that, and it

needs to motivate us to more evangelism

453

and more love for those people.

454

But we also shouldn't be surprised

when this happens in our life and

455

it will, it will happen in your

life to people that you know.

456

And don't write them off.

457

If you see somebody who professes

faith in Christ and then they end

458

up walking away, don't be like, oh,

well you're the rocky soil, so see ya.

459

There's nothing that says

that's a permanent state here.

460

Yeah.

461

Now I wanna caution that with Hebrews

chapter six, which does say that there are

462

some that are going to reject Christ at

some point, and then it's impossible to

463

renew them again to a state of repentance.

464

So we don't know if that might be

the case, but until we do know,

465

until it's abundantly clear to us,

which really often is not gonna.

466

Happen this side of eternity.

467

You have an opportunity to

still go back to 'em and say,

468

Hey, I know you walked away.

469

Help me understand why you walked away.

470

Well, I walked away because I thought my

life was gonna be easy, and then I ran

471

into trials, or I ran into persecution,

or I walked away because I thought, you

472

know, I didn't realize I was gonna have

to give up this thing that I love so

473

much and be patient with them, pursue

them, help them work through that.

474

There may be an opportunity

to still see that heart.

475

Turn into that good soil.

476

Remember your role in this too.

477

I mean, it makes me think of

one Corinthians three, right?

478

Where Paul talks about how he planted and

Apollos watered and God gave the growth.

479

Mm-hmm.

480

Would like to think that he's

thinking of this parable when he

481

uses that analogy, remember that God

gives the growth, but you are called

482

to be the one who plants and waters

and to your PA point, pastor pj.

483

Yeah, don't give up on those people.

484

And, but also don't be surprised

when people reject Christ.

485

Yeah.

486

Real quick here, the parable of the

weeds is just a reminder to us that

487

anytime that we are around a group of

believers in or around the church in

488

general, at least we should expect.

489

The fact that there are gonna be

unbelievers in the midst as well.

490

And that's what the parable

of the weeds is about.

491

That, that there are gonna be

some that are gonna be here with

492

us that are professing believers,

just like we just talked about,

493

that aren't in the good soil.

494

And it may be that, that they're not

revealed to be such until the very end.

495

And that's Jesus' point here is he

says, eventually it will be seen

496

in what is true, in what is false.

497

And so it's a good reminder to us of that.

498

And that's why it's wise for us to

be looking out for the testimonies

499

of others and listening carefully

and making sure that we hear.

500

The components of the

gospel that should be there.

501

And if not that we're, you know,

not challenging in a fruit police

502

kind of a way, but saying, Hey, you

know, are you sure you understand?

503

Like, do what are you trusting and

what are you hoping in when you

504

die and you stand before the Lord?

505

What's your confidence in there?

506

We need to be doing things like

that and caring for one another

507

because there are gonna be weeds

in the midst of the weed as well.

508

And so that's something that will

persist as long as the church is here

509

and Christ doesn't come back yet.

510

It makes me think of baptism services.

511

You know, there's nothing in the Bible

that requires there to be a testimony

512

given publicly and the way we do it at

Compass Bible Church and you might make

513

the accusation that the expectation that

we have that you do that is legalistic it.

514

Except for the fact that we are

trying to be careful about this.

515

We want to make sure that

people have genuine testimonies.

516

And one of the ways that's helpful

to do that is to have people tell

517

their testimony to the church.

518

Yeah.

519

Yep.

520

And that's a good check.

521

That's a good check for you.

522

That's a good check for our church.

523

And we want as few weeds amongst.

524

The true grain as possible.

525

Yeah.

526

We don't want any weeds.

527

We don't want any, yeah.

528

Yeah.

529

Not that we're saying, Hey, leave.

530

We're saying we want you

to be wheat, not weeds.

531

Right.

532

So, well, let's pray and then

we'll be done with this episode.

533

Lord, we thank you for the fingerprints

of your sovereignty that we see

534

all over the life of Joseph.

535

And just a reminder that just as you

were sovereign over his life, your

536

sovereign over our lives as well, even

though we can't necessarily see it as

537

we walk through the trial or as we walk

through the struggle that we're going

538

through, we need to remember that Joseph.

539

Had a trust in you that

we can have as well.

540

And Joseph didn't know how it was gonna

work out for him when he was in jail.

541

He didn't know how it was gonna

work out for him when he was

542

resisting Potiphar's wife.

543

He didn't know how it was gonna work

out for him when he was standing

544

before Pharaoh saying, Pharaoh,

you've got a famine coming on

545

the land and yet he trusted you.

546

Help us to trust you, likewise,

no matter what comes our way.

547

And to know that you are a good God

who is sovereign and in full control.

548

And we wanna be a church that

trusts you that way as well.

549

In Jesus name.

550

Amen.

551

Why keep with it.

552

Keep on pressing on.

553

You're doing a great job and

we are making our way through.

554

The Bible.

555

This is such a good investment.

556

Like we talked about at

the end of last year.

557

This is the best investment

558

So keep on going with us.

559

Yep, keep it up.

560

We'll see you tomorrow.

561

Bye bye.
