["Pomp and Circumstance"]
This is a test.
I would like to take this moment to thank the students by singing song number 60.
No.
Face to face.
Song number 60.
Jesus Christ, who died for me, Face to face, I shall be whole.
Face to face, I shall be whole.
Far beyond the starry sky, Face to face, the Lord is born.
I shall see in my eye.
Holy, waking, now I see Him, With the darkening that leads me.
What a blessed day is coming, When His glory shall be seen.
Face to face, I shall be whole.
Far beyond the starry sky, Face to face, the Lord is born.
I shall see in my eye.
Love rejoicing in His presence, With a witness who can be.
When the world with grace was strengthened, When the darkness shall be planned,
Face to face, I shall be whole.
Far beyond the starry sky, Face to face, the Lord is born.
I shall see in my eye.
Face to face, the rest will know it, Face to face, the sea and low.
Face to face, with my Redeemer, Jesus Christ, who loves me so.
Face to face, I shall be whole.
Far beyond the starry sky, Face to face, the Lord is born.
I shall see in my eye.
Amen.
The wonderful Savior, praise Jesus my Lord, The wonderful Savior to be whole.
We fight in Christ so that no fear will come, And fear will come at your cross again.
The wonderful Savior, praise Jesus my Lord, We thank you, my Lord, and our praise.
We hope and we love that ourself can be found, In every strength as one can be found.
We fight in Christ so that no fear will come, And fear will come at your cross again.
I seek in my rapture your glory to God, For surgery, dear God.
The eye of my soul, in the path of the rock, That shadows the driver's delay.
The eye of my soul, in the depths of his law, That covers me there with his hand,
That covers me there with his soul.
When Lord, in his brightness, transform my eyes, To meet him in clouds of blue sky,
His birth and salvation, whose wonderful love, That shall be on millions on earth,
We fight in my soul, in the depths of the rock, That shadows the driver's delay.
The eye of my soul, in the depths of his law, That covers me there with his hand,
That covers me there with his hand.
We're going through the book of 1 Kings.
Below that we've got our soul-winning times, as well as the salvations, the baptisms, the offering totals,
and the attendances for both the month and year.
Over on the right-hand side, don't forget that Mexico Monday is tomorrow,
so if there's anybody here that would like to jump in on the caravan headed down to Mexico from Tempe,
Brother Seguro will be here with his group probably right around 9 o'clock to try to get here a little early.
And then they head down to Mexico, they do some soul-winning.
And being Baptists, of course, they always make a point of eating a lot of tacos when they're there,
so maybe that'll motivate you, but if you can make it out, I know it's on a Monday,
but if anyone is available and would like to go, that's available to you as well.
We've got the Tempe mega-conference wrapping up this week,
so Pastor Berzins is up there in Tempe right now preaching,
and then this Wednesday we'll have Pastor Jason Robinson from Mountain Baptist Church out there in West Virginia.
So if anyone would like to accompany me up there on Wednesday to hear Pastor Robinson preach,
I'm going to be rolling out of here about 5 o'clock in the church van, so you just need to be here.
I want to leave here at 5.
If people are running a couple minutes late, I get it, but try your best to be here by 5 o'clock, before 5 o'clock,
so that we can roll out at 5 o'clock, or at least at the worst case scenario, a little bit later,
just because we run into a lot of traffic that time of day during the week.
So that's another option you have.
And then we've got an announcement about the Red Hot Preaching Conference.
Of course, this is something that Verde Baptist Church puts on annually over there in Sacramento, California.
Pastor Anderson's going to be preaching this Friday, July 15th, at approximately 7.30 p.m.
He's the second preacher that night, so you never know how that first preacher's going to go.
I mean, if the spirit's moving, you know, if he's just got a lot to get off his chest,
you know, it's all been building up throughout the year, he might go a little later.
But you're probably going to want to catch as many of the services as you can from this conference.
If you can't be there in person, you can just scan that QR code there,
and that'll take you to their website, or excuse me, their YouTube channel,
or you can catch all the services.
And that's always a great conference, so that's something you can catch online.
On the back, not a whole lot going on there other than the fact that this is the opportunity
for the children and young people who've memorized all of Proverbs 3 to recite this.
So today is the deadline. I know I kind of sprung it on you, but that was the point.
You know, that was done by design.
So I wanted to see who was, you know, not just memorizing these verses week by week,
but also who took the time to retain these verses, because that's really what matters.
You know, thy word have I hid in mine heart.
You know, when you hide something, you take time, don't you?
You just don't just throw it out in the middle of the living room floor and hope no one finds it.
You think about where it's going to go, how you're going to keep it there,
and you remember where it is, right? Most of us, okay?
So who here thinks they're going to be able to do this today?
Keep those hands up. One, two, three, four, five, six.
Anybody else? Is that another hand? Or is that like you were scratching your head?
Okay. I didn't know if you were raising your hand.
So about six people. All right. I won't have the prize today, but I'll have it next week.
So I just got to see how many people actually do it.
So we'll see by the end of the day who gets it done.
But that's going to do it for announcements. Let's go ahead and sing our next song before we get into the preaching.
Let's start on the 449, relative to the leg.
I'm living on a mountain Underneath the cloudless sky
I'm drinking at the fountain That never shall run dry
Oh, yes, I'm feasting on banana From a mountain full of sunlight
In blue of air
Far below the storm I doubt I'm on The world is busy
In suns a landing battle On the end of winter's sail
So save the mind within the castle From the storm which is in
Nothing can can reach me This blue of air
I'm living on a mountain Underneath the cloudless sky
I'm drinking at the fountain That never shall run dry
Oh, yes, I'm feasting on banana From a mountain full of sunlight
For I am feeling In blue of air
Let a stormy breeze Let the golden bright
Get all alone within You, I in safety shelter
You, protected by the sail
This song is always shining, hear the song and call me.
I am safe forever in new love land.
I'm living on the mountains underneath the cloudless sky.
I'm drinking at the fountain that never shall run dry.
Oh, yes, I'm feasting on a candle from a mountain
who'll stop by for I am feeling in new love land.
Here we hear the words of God, I see the contemplation.
Hearing thou his blessing, I see the way he played.
Dwelling in the Spirit, hear my word of full salvation.
Let me love her terribly in new love land.
I'm living on the mountains underneath the cloudless sky.
I'm drinking at the fountain that never shall run dry.
Oh, yes, I'm feasting on a candle from a mountain
who'll stop by for I am feeling in new love land.
Amen.
At this time, we'll pass you over to the broadcast.
I think it was around us.
Turn our bodies to James, chapter one.
That's James, chapter one.
As always, we'll be the entire chapter.
Please follow what's on you.
James, chapter one.
Verse one of the Bible reads, James
served God through the Lord Jesus Christ,
who spoke Christ and was carried abroad.
Breathe, my brethren, to know that who
have in his false dagger sent patience.
And when he missed, he was trying
to repay for patience.
But the patience had a perfect work.
He was imperfect and tired from nothing.
If many of you lack wisdom, you will not
stop to give to all the delivery in a greater
time than shall be given.
Let the mass be paid.
Let it be wavered.
Let it be wavered to see through the wind.
Toss.
If you are not that man, think that you
shall see many people.
The devil-minded man is unstable and always
weightless.
But the brother of the loaded can rejoice
without even insulting.
The bridge that he can invoke,
which is the flower of the grass,
shall pass away.
The sun, though soon arisen,
the burning heat of the withers of grass
and the flower of our fault,
the grace of the pasture will perish
so also shall rich men fade with waste.
Blessed is a man man during temptation,
in which a tribe shall seek God's light
for their promise of their love.
For no man's saying he is tempted
and is tempted to die.
For God put him tempted to be and attempt
to be any man.
When every man is tempted and is drawn away
to his own lust, how do you sleep?
Then when lust have conceived,
he bringeth forth sin.
Sin when it is finished,
he bringeth forth death.
Not ever, but every good gift,
every perfect gift,
is from a love that cometh down from the father
of light.
And from his own veryness,
and a shadow of turning,
of his own will,
for he hath me as my word of truth,
that he should be a perfect person
for his creatures.
Wherefore, my brother,
that of your man who sports a year,
who stoke his feet,
for the wrath of man,
for the power and justice of God.
Wherefore, may a part of which
is the superfood of your conscience,
and receive uniqueness
and the right of word,
that is able to save your soul,
to be doers of the word,
and not hearers only,
deceiving oneself,
that if any man can be a hearer
of the word,
and not a doer,
because, like he said,
a man who only has a natural face,
a glass,
for he can hold himself
and go into his place,
and then stray away
and forget,
as a matter of madness,
and so look at him
as the perfect model of liberty,
and continue therein,
he may not be a hearer or hearer,
but a doer of the word,
this man shall bless his feet,
that any man among these
who be afflicted
will bow to his tongue,
and receive his own heart,
and this man shall live in faith,
for pure religion is the cloud
of God's father's bliss,
and this will help him
to his will,
and that of religion
will keep himself
a spotter to the world.
Let us say it with a big person.
Thank you, Lord.
Thank you, Lord,
for your grace and mercy
from this church,
Lord, and praise.
Brother Corbin,
help him preach to us,
Lord, help us to a higher service
of our lives
in Jesus' holy name.
Amen.
So I want to preach
a sermon this morning entitled
Living for the Long Haul.
And what I want to preach about
basically is just,
you know,
how you can expect
to live a long life.
I'm sure everybody in the room
this morning
would like to live a long life.
You know,
hopefully you're not
some kind of hedonist
this morning
who just wants to,
you know,
die young,
live fast,
and die young.
You know,
it's a lot of fun
when you're younger,
but,
you know,
the reality of that
is it's quite tragic.
You know,
and people do do that.
People do have
that kind of a philosophy,
that kind of an attitude
where they'd rather just,
you know,
burn out
than to fade away.
But really what we see
in scripture
is that the real blessings
in life
come
over the long haul.
The real blessings
that we receive in life
that come from God
are things that we receive
not all at once,
not all up front in life.
Often they're things
that we have to patiently
wait for,
and there have to be things
that,
quite frankly,
we have to be there
to receive.
If we're not there
later in life,
we're just not going to
be there to receive them.
I know,
you know,
one of the things
I really look forward to
one day,
God willing,
is that I'll see
my grandchildren.
You know,
the Bible describes that
as a blessing
to be able to put,
you know,
your son's sons
upon your knees.
That's something that
the Bible describes
as a blessing.
You know,
that doesn't typically
happen in your 40s
or your 50s even.
You know,
that's typically something
you see later in life,
something that you'll see
after you've lived,
what,
for the long haul.
So that's what I'm talking
about,
being in it for the long haul.
Now,
let me just start out
by saying what we call
the long haul today,
you know,
is just long,
it's long in terms,
you know,
it's speaking relatively.
You know,
and when you look
in the Scripture,
people used to live
much longer.
You know,
man was created
to live forever.
He was created
to live eternally.
You know,
we are a spiritual being
and when God first
formed man,
you know,
death was not part
of his plan.
You know,
don't let,
you know,
Disney and John Elton
fool you this morning.
You know,
it's not,
death is not just part
of the circle of life.
You know,
you all know that song,
right?
You know,
death is the enemy.
Death is a curse
that's upon this ground.
Death was not something
God made man
and when man fell,
that's when he had
to send him forth
from the garden
to till the ground
for which he was taken
lest he would what?
Take the tree of life
and live forever.
So,
that tree of life
was something that
God intended to give man
so that he could live forever
and that is something
that we will eat from
in the millennium.
The Bible teaches that
as well.
I'm not going to go
into all that.
But even after the curse
was put upon the ground,
we know that men
in Genesis,
you know,
before the flood,
of names in Genesis 5
and elsewhere,
you'll see that men
lived for seven,
eight,
nine hundred years.
That men were living
for centuries at that time.
And in fact,
the oldest man in the Bible
we know is Methuselah
who lived,
how long?
Nine hundred,
oh,
wait a minute.
How long did Methuselah
live for?
First hand up.
Nobody knows this?
Oh,
I got a pile of suckers
in here.
Who wants it?
How long did Methuselah
live for?
No one.
Alright,
this is yours.
Alright,
hopefully I didn't take out
an eyeball with that sucker.
Okay,
but yeah,
nine hundred and sixty-nine
years,
that's the longest living man.
In fact,
you know,
the oldest living tree
known on earth is what?
The Methuselah tree,
right?
So when we're talking about
living for the long haul,
let me just give you some
perspective right out of the
bat is that our life is short
to begin with.
You know,
even if we live to a ripe
old age,
comparatively speaking,
our life is very short.
It serves it as a vapor,
as the flower of the grass.
Isn't that what we read there
in James one?
If you look at verse nine,
it said let the brother
of low degree rejoice,
in that he is exalted with the
rich,
and that he is made low
because as the flower of the
grass,
he shall pass away.
I mean,
our flower is something that
we see continually?
Does a flower just spring up
once and just lasts forever?
Man,
most of them don't even make it
in a few months.
they they flourish and then they pass away and then they bloom again but that's not the same
flower coming back you know it's a different flower you know so it's like man's life is like
that it's not uh you know we're just going to be here for a short season at best we're just going
to be here for a little while we're going to flout we're going to be as the flower of glass we shall
pass away you know peter describes this as well if you would go over to james chapter 4 can i
bother you brother for a brother andrew for a bottle of water it says in first peter chapter
two it says excuse me one for all flesh is as grass and the glory of man as the flower of grass
the grass withereth that's that green stuff that grows up north of here and the flower thereof
falleth away so that's how the bible describes us today you know this is the new testament
thank you that we are like a flower that we are like grass we are just something that rises up
and then is gone in fact in james four james go on goes on to describe our life
you know as a vapor you know what is he talking about when he talks about a vapor he's talking
about like steam you know that's uh just a vapor like a mist that's coming up he says in verse 13
now uh he that say today or tomorrow we will go into such a city and continue there a year and
buy and sell and get gain whereas he know not what shall be on tomorrow for what is your life
you know people often ask that what's what's my life what is it what i'm you know what's what's
the point here well this is something you understand about life here's an answer it is
even a vapor that appearth for a little time and that vanishes away you know and you know
the people that are a little bit that have have lived a little while in this room probably have
a better understanding of this than maybe some of the younger people in the room and we've all
heard it growing up from the old that you know those those old fuddy duddies that oh we keep
hearing saying the same thing the older you get the faster it goes but you know that the older
i've gotten you know that i've said well those old funny duties knew what they were talking about
you know they they it's absolutely true i mean you're going to wake up one day and you know
you're going to have children and you're going to have uh you know a wife and a house and all
this just kind of comes upon you you know and that it's a blessing but look life moves quickly
and what we need to what we need is uh the young people in this room to understand is get this
perspective young get this understanding young that you know you're you're you know when we're
younger we think oh i'm just going to do so i got so much time to do everything and look you have
more time than some people right but what we don't know what shall be on tomorrow either didn't we
read that as well i mean we we could be taken out tomorrow there's no guarantee that we have
tomorrow but even if we weren't to experience some tragedy in our life that would take us out early
you know the even if we lived what we many would consider a long life the bible says that's a vapor
it's grass you only have so much time so you got to use it wisely because it's going to vanish away
in fact he goes on in james there and says for what you ought to say if the lord lit will we
shall live and do this or that but now you rejoice in your boastings all such boasting is evil go to
psalms chapter 90 psalms chapter 90 if you recall right before the flood god said and the lord said
my spirit shall not always strive with man for that he also is flesh yet his days shall be in
120 years so we read earlier about methuselah how men were living you know for centuries and then
when the earth was filled with violence and the imagine of every man's heart was nothing but evil
and god decided to destroy the earth with a flood and destroy and save spare those eight souls uh
noah and his family you know he pronounced this all this curse he said i'm gonna limit man's life
to 120 years what he's not saying is oh you're all gonna live to 120 saying that's the best you
can hope for 120 years is the best that you can hope for and then you can read moses in
chapter psalms chapter 90 moses comes along and says the days of our years are three score and
10 now what's the score it's 20 years right so three score three times 20 60 and 10 years so
he's saying 70 years in psalms 90 verse 10 and if by reason reason of strength they be four score
years so he's saying look if you you know 70 is good and if you've lived a good life if you're
taking care of yourself if reason if by reason of strength 80 now some people can live beyond that
but you know moses is probably speaking in generalities here moses isn't saying oh i'm
going to bring it down from 120 he's just saying look this is what i've observed this is what
commonly takes place this is basically how it is this is the average this is typically what you see
when it comes to people's lifespans you know 70 years and if by reason of strength 80 and really
if you get that you're doing good that's that's uh uh you know that's a blessing and you know and
i want to just uh talk about a few of the people that have actually lived to that 120 or near to
that 120 mark there's been a few people that have done this and the oldest person to have lived
on record of course this is coming from the genesis or yeah get us a book of world records
genesis the gennis book of world records okay we have the genesis book of world records all right
but they're not of course they're not going to cite that on wikipedia or some other you know
scholarly source
but you know the world would recognize these people as having been the longest that have lived
and i apologize that well she's not here anyway jeanne
culment who reportedly lived 122 years and he said well wait a minute i got said i thought god said
120 there's some dispute over the accuracy of that look when you're born you know and like i
think it was like 1904 or something like that or prior to that it was earlier than that even like
late 1800s 1890s or something i don't know exactly when she was born you know record keeping isn't
always the best there's a lot of time you know and then when you're asking that person you know
everybody else has died off you're asking that person in their old age how old are you they might
get it wrong you know they might be like i mean i forget sometimes i'm and i'm only 41 you know
and sometimes people ask me how old are you it's like i got to pull my driver's license and be like
yeah i'm 41 right you know when you get up to 100 you might miss recall thing you might not recall
things exactly right you know and we give you grace for that but so there's some dispute right
so she says 122 but you know we know the bible says 120 wouldn't surprise me if there was
something a little off there now the oldest living person right now currently is lucille
randon uh excuse me yeah lucille randon and she was born in february 1904
imagine being born living being alive today and having been born in 1904 imagine all the things
you would have seen i remember in elementary school we in our in our community we had an older
person they brought in to speak to all the kids and she had lived through she saw like the
automobile both world wars or something like that like television i met her as a kid that
just blew my mind that there's somebody who just saw all of these you know massive you know uh
world events and saw all the advent of technology and all these things i mean radio just all these
amazing things and what she must be seeing today must you know if she can comprehend it must you
know be quite astounding right and of course this this lady she became a nun in 1944
and she survived she's also the oldest surviving covid um she's the oldest living covid survivor
and she had a few symptoms she lasts about three weeks and she kind of just she even like
shook covid off like it was nothing and and i'm going to share this because i i died laughing when
i saw this because i watched this on a youtube video and i maybe you won't find it as funny
but she's she's from france she speaks french it's all subtitled and it's on the the guinness
book of world records and they're there she's kind of describing her day how they wake her up
at seven she says you know they wake me up at seven they put me in my chair and then they roll
me over to my desk and it's just it's this little old nun like all you got to get the pictures all
her eyes are all over grown over with cataracts you know they got to help hold their glass when
she drinks she's very frail and she's describing how they wake her up at seven and they put her
in the chair and then they roll me over to my desk and she said this is all in french
and i stay i stay busy with with little naughty things that's what that's what it said i'm not
kidding this is little nun who's like 118 years old and she says i go to my desk and i stay busy
with little naughty things now and i'm just dying because i'm like did she actually say that or is
it the person is it the the guy who transcribed it didn't know french that well and is like
making this nun look like a you know like some kind of deviant at 100 he's like pulling a gag
on her or is this catholic nun have a little bit of a sense of humor you know and and there's
nothing you know because you're just because you're a catholic nun doesn't mean you can't
have a sense of humor folks okay but uh you know that struck me as very odd that she said then
and you know but she didn't have and whenever you have these older people they always ask you know
what's the secret to a long life you know and obviously being catholic you know they have the
wrong gospel they teach a workspace salvation you know but she's probably somebody who lived
that we would look at and say probably lived a decent life in terms of morality lived a godly
life you know she was taking care of orphans and things like that you know she's probably
somebody who had some moral decency that's probably part of the big secret of her success
and you know and the bible says that god makes it the sun to rise you know on the evil and the good
and he sendeth his reign on the just and upon the unjust you know god will god blesses the whole
earth you know god and i believe this that if god looks down and sees even an unsaved person
who might even be part of a false religion even a false religion that's literally damning you know
billions of people to hell which the catholic church is because it's teaching a false false
gospel folks how can it you know i don't want to go into all that you can ask me about that later
but you know even if there's somebody like that who just out of the you know
out of just the ignorance that's in their own heart is just trying to just
keep the commandments you know if you're just trying to just trying to please god with their
life i believe god would still bless that maybe god would extend their life in order to give them
a chance to hear the gospel you know you know and both these you know these older people there was
a the lady before her i can't remember her name she was from japan i mean they i watched interviews
they were still with it i mean she's cracking jokes you know this this lucille about what she
you know how she's going to her desk and staying busy with very naughty things i mean she's still
she's still got you know some some wit there you know and and it might be that god's still letting
them live that long and giving them this comprehension because he's extending grace to them
okay well you know the bible says that you know the wicked shall not live out half their days
okay
now we have a couple local you know here in in our the south the southwest in our part of you
know arizona a couple of people that have lived into that 99 hundred years old plus and you say
well what's the secret you know and i'll get to what i actually think the secret to a long life
to be to living for the long haul is but um you know we we i i'll cite some anecdote i'll give
you some anecdotal evidence okay wanda walston i know i brought this up a couple years ago in
another term wanda walston of tucson celebrated her 99th at taco bell okay at taco bell now i
won and she said she consistently ate a taco bell two tacos and a pepsi and then she even
beyond that like she's lived beyond 99 she's like into her hundreds and i think she's still alive
she's eaten there for 55 years consistently eating that was her thing they're like what
do you want to do for your 99th wanda and she they said without hesitation taco bell
all right now look i i like simple pleasures too you know i'm a man of of of humble uh
taste you know i like simple things but when you're living in tucson and you're going to
taco bell when you're living in the mecca of mexican food this side of mexico and you are folks
why are you going to taco bell
but i guess there's a good reason you know if you're if you're a taco bell fan at least you
got that you got wanda on your side you can say well you know wanda lived 99 years old she went
to taco bell for 55 years so now what martis painter of phoenix i mean these people living
in these great mexican food places she celebrated her 106th at taco bell so what did she eat she
ate the mexican pizza and tacos there is nothing mexican about that pizza there's no such thing as
mexican pizza okay so you say well that's the secret to their success no you know a lot of
it's probably just pretty it's just it's a lot of it's just genetics a lot it's just chance you know
time and chance happen to us all the bible says you know it's probably just their genetics maybe
they you know they took care of themselves they weren't out running around and partying
and destroying their body and their youth and so on and so forth but really i think what you know
the bible does have a prescription to live for the long haul and it's called the real preventative
maintenance right because that's what people are so obsessed with today you know they want to they
want to extend their life as long as they can and look there's nothing wrong with that but what they
seem to put the emphasis in the wrong place they seem to think it's all about the physical and
obviously the physical and i'll get to this in a minute the physical plays its part in fact go to
first timothy four the physical is not something we should disregard obviously but you know it
seems to me when i read the scripture that it's the spiritual preventative maintenance that really
matters you know it's it's pleasing god you know god holds your life in his hand
and god can can cure us god can heal us god can give us strength god can work miracles in our
lives god can give us wisdom knowledge and understanding really what i see in the bible
is that it's the spiritual preventative maintenance that is greater than the physical
spiritual maintenance and again that's not to say that the spiritual comes at the expense of
the physical it doesn't it's both but the world today would put all the emphasis on the physical
and completely ignore the spiritual you know you say well why you know maybe one of the reasons
the bible doesn't emphasize and the real the bible really doesn't emphasize a lot about physical
activity you know physical training there are some verses in there there's about you know men being
strong and and all that being fit for battle i understand that but really in times past you know
before the you know the industrial revolution before we had you know mechanized agriculture
and everything else you know a lot of people's physical training came from labor it came from
you know when the vast majority of people were just laboring in fields laboring in cities you
know that you know most people weren't you know for a long you know we're sitting around typing
on a keyboard you know working on spreadsheets or whatever else you know and that and you know
that's i'm sure they're not that they would probably have preferred to set in a you know
air conditioned climate controlled room and staying out of the weather you know but maybe
that's kind of why the bible doesn't have to emphasize it as much because that's something
that was just kind of taken care of but notice in first timothy chapter four you know and today
maybe that's why we should put more emphasis a little more emphasis on the physical because you
know that it is something we probably should concern ourselves with a little bit more if we're
not is taking care of the physical because you know it kind of took care of itself in the past
today you know not so much you know if we don't have a job that's keeping us out there on our feet
in the heat you know uh and all of that and look i'm not i'm not a doctor you know obviously right
you know i'm not up here to give it that kind of advice it's going to be general at the best but
i can tell you what the bible says okay the bible says in first timothy chapter four verse seven
refuse profane and old wives fables and exercise thyself rather unto godliness now look at verse
eight and look notice saying exercise thyself unto what godliness you know refuse profane
and old wives fables well just just go get a mexican pizza on a pepsi every week and you'll
live to be in ripe old age that's the old wise fable refuse that okay well you should exercise
yourself too is godliness living for the lord living a godly life okay verse eight for bodily
exercise providence little well there you go brother ain't no need to do any kind of physical
exercise whatsoever the bible condemns it you will never catch me in the gym because
because i want to please god amen but that is that what the verse is saying
is it saying bodily exercise doesn't profit at all it's saying bodily exercise profit little
little there's little profit in it okay not to say there isn't any profit look you could you
could get into bodily exercise and extend your life but what good is that going to do you if
you're just some fornicating whoremonger so i can just have a longer life full of sin so i can just
live a longer life being a drunkard and everything else i can just live a longer life just making god
angry that how is that profitable then you know the bodily exercise will profit you a little
because it'll give you it might extend your life a little bit more but it's what you do with that
life that's really going to profit you it's what you're going to do outside of the gym out you know
when you get off the treadmill when you put down the barbell whatever whatever you do to maintain
you know it's what you're going to do with that longer life that matters that's what's going to
profit you but godliness it goes on to said it's profitable onto all things all things this life
right having the promise of the life that now is you know godliness will extend your field your
physical life as well is now what it says godliness is profitable into all things
having the promise of the life that now is you know there's a lot of things that we're not going
to have if we live a godly life we're just not going to have some of the problems we're not
going to have the stds i you know i don't really worry about me uh getting in a drunken uh you know
getting in some car crash because i got drunk now i have to worry about all the other drunks and
pot heads on the road you know that's another that's always great too when you're rolling
down the road just smelling the weed just rolling out of somebody's car ahead of you you know that's
when i'm like okay both hands on the wheel now sit up a little straighter you know you got
cheech and chong up there just you know weaving around just you know in their little you know
taking it easy in a low rider or whatever you know anyway i don't go i do want to go off on that but
i'm not going to but look i don't have to sit there and worry about me going out and you know
killing myself or got even worse than that would be killing somebody else
you know what would be worse than getting drunk and and dying in a car accident
would be killing somebody else who's just going about their life just killing some mom who's
picking up her kids on the way to the grocery store killing his dad some dad who's on his way
back from work after you know trying to provide for his family and then me living i would rather
die than do that i'd rather die than live with that guilt knowing that i destroyed some home
okay oh that never happens it happens all the time it happens every day multiple times a day
people get drunk they get impaired they get behind the wheel but i don't you know i'm not worried
about me having to do that because guess what i don't drink i don't get drunk i don't smoke pot
i don't get behind a wheel and get impaired in fact i don't get impaired ever
you know and i'm not saying that to brag i'm just saying that that's how i know that that godliness
is going to have the has the promise of the life that now is you know i don't have to worry about
if you know some some you know uh some skank at the club that i hooked up with gave me an
std last night when i was out partying because i didn't do that because i'm living a godly life
you know the world wants to make all that look so alluring that's the devil just paints this
picture but when you start to peel back the veil that he's put up and you start to see the
consequences and the potential hazards that are that are very probable when you go down that path
it doesn't start to look so good does it so that's how godliness you know has the
so that's how godliness you know has the promise of the life that now is
you know maybe i'm not out there running you know 20 miles or whatever it is every day
but at least i'm not you know gonna fall over from from cancer because i'm smoking two packs a day
you know because i'm living a godly life
having the promise of the life that now is you know what's great about godliness too you know
why it's more profitable than exercise because it not only does it have the promise of the life
that now is but it also has the promise of the life that which is to come it's talking about
eternity it's talking about heaven you know some people can get saved and go to heaven and and live
like the devil while they're here you know salvation is by grace through faith not of work
so any man should boast it is the gift of god not of work so any man should boast for god so love
the world that he gave his only begotten son salvation is a free gift you don't work for a
gift you don't work to keep a gift once it's yours and yours meaning you could do whatever you want
with it you believe on christ you get saved you can live however you want but you know what it's
not going to profit you in the life that is to come you know you're going to get there and say
no profit yeah you might have you might have had a good time even though the way the transgressor
is hard the bible says but there is pleasure and sin for a season you know that you know when sin
has conceived it bringeth forth death the bible says you might enjoy that for a while but you know
what you're going to have problems in this life that you could have avoided and it's not going to
profit you at all in eternity you know but the world doesn't get that do they they don't
understand the secret to really living or i guess really the purpose to living for the long haul
living for the long haul you know what good is it if it's just to live a more selfish life
the world over emphasizes you know the physical and i thought of it you know a great illustration
of this is you know i watched got done watching that video on guinness book world records about
you know that french nun who lived who's still alive the oldest living woman and immediately
an ad came on and it was some you know legging clad bimbo going on about her diet you know and
standing in front of a mirror you know looking at her booty and i'm thinking you know that that
that's what the world does they overemphasize the physical you know yeah you might you might go out
be able to go out in the world like that and turn some heads but are you really gonna be are you
pleasing god you know that that might extend your life a little bit but what good is that gonna do
you when you get knocked up when you get that disease you have that unwanted child or you have
that abortion and let's not forget people can still do that today i know everybody wants to
think that you know praise god in some places including art the great state of arizona you can't
but you know there's still some places you can you know and what what good is that you know what
good are is looking like that going to do you then you know that's what the world does though
they overemphasize the physical they got it backwards the bible says bodily exercise profit
if little not that there isn't profit in there and look people get enjoyment out of that they
get pleasure and i'm not saying physical exercise is wrong by any means don't get me wrong i'm just
saying you know why are you doing it what's the purpose behind it what is the point to extending
your life if it's not to profit god that's where the real profitability is you know and then you
have this this borderline faggotry in the fitness culture with these you know and and look if this
is you know i'm sorry if it's a tenuse but i'm sorry but i'm not sorry i'm just gonna say it
this bodybuilding thing this whole thing where you're getting you know you're working out you're
staring at yourself in a mirror at a gym but in front of a bunch of other dudes and you're
examining other dudes physiques and you're critiquing it you're saying oh you got to shape
that you got to sculpt that you need to trim that make this muscle bigger and we're not just like
talking about a guy in clothes we're talking about you're sitting there critiquing a guy who's
literally rubbed himself down with oil and is standing there in a speedo
it's borderline faggotry there i said it that's my opinion but and i'm entitled to it
but that isn't that what the world emphasizes you know just just and look i'm not against people
lifting weights the bodybuilding thing i'm almost against power lifting thing you're good do the
thing you're good do the deadlifts do the squats do the press you know do all of it or whatever
you do but when it's just all about you know taking steroids and and and and doing the curls
or whatever and just staring at yourself and posting on instagram for a bunch of other dudes
to look at you and tell you what you need to work on a little queer in my opinion i mean imagine a
man like a hundred two hundred years ago seeing what the what the you know the the fitness culture
is like you don't think that they would go faggot you know what i mean they would
oh that's not sensitive today that's that's uh you know well ask me if i care
go to hebrews chapter 13 obviously the physical plays a part in extending
our natural life and helping us to live for the long haul right it does profit bible the first
timothy isn't saying it doesn't profit all it's just saying it profits but it profits a little
you know the real profitability comes when you're living godly godliness has the promise of the
life that now is and of that which is to come you know another example of this would be marriage
you know marriage is a profitable thing to help extend your life it's scientifically proven
marriage and the bible says so verse four marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled there's
nothing wrong with having physical relations within the bounds of marriage god will bless it
that's what god intended but whoremongers and adulterers god will judge you know whoremongers
you know is specifically talking about men you know we i know we okay not when i say we
speak in general let's just be honest me at least i know there's others we get up and we talk a lot
about the whores right of this world let's not let's not leave the men out of it the bible does
condemn men being whoremongers too you know we always preach that you know young ladies should
go to their wedding altar pure virgin the same is true for men the same is true for men there's
nothing shameful about that and i know the world would laugh at that and scoff you know but if you
ask there's a lot of people that if you'd ask them you know people that i know hey if you could
go back and do it again would you have kept yourself under marriage they would say yes men
and women okay that's what the bible is saying that men that marriage is honorable and all that
god will bless that but the you know and it's not that oh you'll nothing will happen you know
if you're a whore or whoremonger you know you're an adulterer before marriage it's just that well
you're not just going to have the same amount of blessing that the person who kept himself you know
the bible says that god will judge them god's going to judge them you know god will send the
disease god will send you know the the problems god will send all kind you know it can manifest
itself in so many different ways and it's just and it happens so often i think that people just
think oh that's just that's just how it goes that's just you know that's just the pattern
that happens or it could just be that that's just god judging a lot of people that way because the
bible does say god will judge them does it say might judge it says will judge them you know
there's i read a quick article too and this is from you know harvard it's from a reputable
source at least by the world standards it says that men who marry live longer than men without
spouses the men who marry after age 25 get more protection in terms of longevity than those who
tie the knot at a younger age now they go and explain what they mean by that is because typically
men that marry very young they found were people who were in very physical poor health to begin
with so do with that what you will but it does say a longer man stays married the longer a man
stays married the greater his survival advantage over his unmarried peers you know so if you want
to live for the long haul the bible says you know you should get married one it's honorable
it's better to marry than to burn the bible says and that you'll actually as a result live longer
unless you get that wife is going to put shards of glass in your cereal
i'm just kidding it's out there though you better watch it let her pay attention to you married to
you want to get a psycho right but look there okay so you want to talk about the physical
aspects of how to live for the long haul marriage you say oh no it's it's living a loose life it's
going out there and being a whoremonger it's out there going out there being a whore
and sleeping around and having multiple partners you know how many people we slept with i don't
know and they brag about it you know their body count isn't that what's going you know
that's what they use on the campuses what's your body count bro
yeah what's your std count how many different diseases have you contracted
you know what's your body count sweetheart how many abortions have you had how many times did
you take plan b after you came home from the club that night that's that's the world we're living
in folks sorry the world overemphasizes the physical and they underemphasize the spiritual
it's completely backwards than what the bible teaches you say no they they get into the spiritual
you say no they they get into the spiritual you know they teach things like mindfulness
you know they're getting their meditation look there's nothing spiritual about you know the
first world view of meditation you know they're just they're all they're trying to do is like
de-stress or something now i will say there is something spiritual about meditation when you
get into actual religions that practice it like you know hinduism and buddhism and others
where they practice transcendental meditation yeah it's spiritual all right when you're trying
to get in contact with literal demons and that's what that's what they're doing whether they know
it or not i mean how do you have you ever looked at the hindu gods that they worship the multitude
of different gods if that isn't demonic i don't know what is you know shiva the destroyer you know
with her eight arms or whatever cutting people's heads off and got a necklace full of skulls i
mean how is that not demonic the bible says that you know the the heathen they and i'm paraphrasing
you know they the they worship idols but they're actually worshiping devils whether they know it
or not the things that they worship are actually devils there's a devil behind that idol
so let me just give you at the end here this will be a shorter sermon this morning
and those of you who've been coming for a while deserve one i've realized but
how to live longer okay let me just give you a how so how does the bible teach us to live for
the long haul well you know we looked at a few examples from the physical aspect don't be a
whoremonger don't be a whore i mean that's going to extend your life a great deal i mean that's
what they should teach these kids at the public school system you know don't be a homo sorry
faggot don't don't do that because that'll you know because the average you know fag lives to
like in his 50s 60s maybe it's not that long but what do you expect when you know you have within
a year you've had like 100 partners that's the low end but they don't teach that in the public
school but they'll say but don't smoke don't drink don't do drugs kids that might shave a few years
off your life you know shaving being a faggot might shave decades off your life you know being
a lesbian you're you know you're 400 more times to be murdered than the average you know than
the straight person facts so there you know don't do that how to live longer you know live a godly
life get married you know live a clean life enjoy what the blessings that god gives you along the
way be content with such thing as you have but ultimately it boils down to this fear god you
want to live for the long haul you want to experience god's blessings throughout and
well into your later years live you know fear god fear god and serve him
i don't know i should have had you keep something fifth first timothy four go back there the bible
says in proverbs chapter 10 the fear of the lord prolongeth days well you know if we interpret that
properly how else do you interpret that what other meaning does that have the fear of the lord
prolongeth days either god's a liar or isn't either fearing god will prolong your days or god's a liar
and we know that god cannot lie the fear of the lord prolongeth days but the years of the wicked
shall be shortened you know and that's not necessarily because god's going to shorten it
for them you know living a wicked life will will it's got its own built-in punishment it'll shorten
it it's the consequences are just inherent live a godly life fear the lord first timothy chapter
four verse seven godly exercise profit little but godliness is profitable unto all things
having the promise of the life that now is godliness is profitable that's you know i
guess i didn't need to have you go back there but go to ephesians chapter six ephesians chapter six
the bible says in first peter chapter three verse 10 he that will love life and see good days
look i don't want to just live a long life if it's going to be miserable
if i'm going to live a long life i want to see good days right i mean everyone's like oh i hope
i lived 120. i saw some of the 120 year olds in those videos in the background i was like
not if it's going to be like that or i'm just like
you know and they just wheel me around and everything's being fed to me through a tube
you know or a tube you know if i could still have my wits
and look at some of that's just out of our control some of that we just can't help okay i get that
but the bible does say godliness is profitable and he that will love life and see
good days let him refrain his tongue from his evil and his lips that they speak no guile
you know guile's talking about you know like being a conniving cunning malicious person
being a duplicitous person you know somebody who's saying one thing and doing another somebody who's
trying to bring harm to other people you know through through you know conspiring against them
you know god god's going to judge that he that roll at the stone it shall roll back
upon him he that dig at the pit shall fall there in the bible says you know try to live peaceably
with all men as much as in you as possible we should live peaceably with all men that's the
bible tells us he that will love life and see good days let him refrain his tongue from evil
and let his lips speak that they speak no guile you know going out there and being a brawler
and a striker is probably not a good way to extend your life that's probably not a good
idea just go around and go around you know and this is probably more for the men i'm sure a lot
of ladies aren't struggling in this area with just going around picking fights but you know
i've known guys like this that go out there and they're just looking for trouble
you know and they're and that means this that there's guys out there that are already looking
for trouble and you know that guy you want to blow your mouth off to or flip off on the road
or cut off might be that guy you never know it's like you never know who was behind the wheel of
that car and it's all tinted out and you think you're going to be tough and then some you know
jack dude gets out who just has just been looking for an excuse to beat somebody to a bloody pulp
within an inch of their life so don't let your lips you know speak guile refrain your tongue
from evil it'll extend your life it'll keep you out of harm's way i mean i found that out early
on my stepdad used to tell me one day you're gonna mouth off to the wrong redneck and it was
a little bit more colorful than i just said it i was like whatever i'm 15 i got it all figured out
and one day i lipped off to the wrong redneck and that car door flew open and this
jack marine got out full fatigues pants tucked into the boots just marching down the road i'm
going to teach you some manners i've never moved so fast on a skateboard and i was like that's
what he was talking about you know i could have just taken his word for it you know because i
don't i'm saying the guy was going to kill me but who knows don't you ever see those stories where
it's like after school one day some kid just walks up and clocks and let me just out of nowhere
they fall down and hit their back of their head in the concrete and they're dead they
weren't intending to do that that kind of stuff happens all the time you know it's best to just
not retaliate you know if someone's gonna get physical with me i i'm gonna try to
not get physical unless i absolutely have to you know if they're gonna push me even slap me
i'm just gonna try and get out of there because when you ball up a fist i mean that's a that
could potentially be life ending or life altering just one shot i mean why do you think they wear
gloves when they they do it professionally as a sport so they can minimize the concussions okay
okay so you know that's kind of how you can apply first peter chapter three
you know the bible says in psalm 34
he what man is he that desireth life and loveth many days you know if i were to ask that question
i'm sure every hand hopefully would go up in the room this morning everyone would desire life and
love many days that he may see good who wants to live a long blessed good life you know mark me
down it repeats itself keep thy tongue from evil and they lips from speaking guile
depart from evil do good seek peace pursue it depart from evil do good
seek peace pursue it that's a formula to do what just to to see many days and and see good along
the way you know the first part of that equation is depart from evil depart from evil flee also
youthful lusts depart from evil you know quit living the sinful life if you want to live a long
good life look if we go you know we go out we knock doors and on a weekly basis and ask people
you know try to preach the gospel we come across people all the time you can tell they've been
living a hard life i mean i don't know how many times i've gone to doors i mean the beer cans
are piled up on the on the side there's cigarette ashes everywhere butts everywhere place is a mess
they come to the door and just like what i mean just the most miserable you can just tell you're
having a hard life and i'm not saying that to i pity those people i feel bad for them i want
to help them i want to get saved and know that you know that they can have better but people
we come across them all the time people just live long maybe long for now hard lives difficult lives
why is it because they haven't departed from evil
you know that's step one it's not enough to just show up at church on sunday and then go
out and live like the devil the rest of the week it doesn't work that way that's not how
god's blessing is going to work you know you got it you got to live for the lord 24 7 seven days
a week depart from evil and do good do good you know bless up be a blessing to other people
help other people seek peace you know be a peacemaker blessed are the peacemakers
you know we should we should not be people who are trying to just mix it up with everybody and look
i'm not saying we should be these weak soft passive people or just let everybody just walk
all over us you know these bullies that are out there but you know and generally speaking we should
just seek peace you know we often you know i i'm sure not i speak in generality i'm not saying
everybody's like this but we often you know if we if someone's rude to us we just kind of want
to be rude right back don't we that's kind of a natural thing oh oh really want to go there
tell you start noodle necking right back right but you ever just stop to think maybe they're
just having a bad day you know this is something i learned in customer service people they when
you're in customer service people will just take it out on you they'll pull in to get that oil
change or to order that meal or whatever and they're having a bad day and they're just like
oh you have to be nice to me because it's your job so i can treat you however i want
you know that's why there's that saying out there kill them with kindness sometimes the best way to
just get some you know get somebody over on your side is just to be nice to them even when they've
given you every excuse to just be a jerk right back maybe you should just be nice that's what
you would call what seeking peace oh i seek peace with people i like that's not how it works
oh i seek peace when i'm at church with people that are there but then i go out those doors
and it's like if anyone looks at me cross-eyed they're going to get an earful that's not seeking
peace and look i'm emphasizing this because that's part of this formula that we see in psalms 34
depart from evil do good seek peace and pursue it be consistent
you know those interviews i i watched those old ladies they seemed like nice people
they see you know those ladies at talk about were surrounded by friends and family on their
birthdays they had the whole place the manager was talking about how great it is to see her coming in
and how she's here in her hundredth blah blah blah they were proud they're probably pleasant
people to be around they're probably peaceful people
you know consistently do these things keep the commandments
depart from the evil do the good seek peace pursue it
you know the bible says in psalms 3 i know some of you should already know this
you should my son forget not my law right but let thine heart keep my commandments why why should i
not forget god's law why should i keep his commandments for length of days and long life
and peace shall they add to thee the bible says that god's law that his commandments
are going to give me length of days that they're going to give me a long life
and peace it's not just going to be a long you know arduous just hard life it's going
to be a peaceful life if i keep the law and the commandments if those are the things that
that will add to me why because length of days is in her right hand and her left hand riches
and honor you know the wisdom that is in god's word that's where the true riches are that's
where length of days are he's speaking literally you start reading the bible living the bible
obeying the bible it will extend your life i mean how couldn't it just just that first part
of that equation in psalm 34 depart from evil that alone right there is just going to remove
so many you know risk factors health concerns from your life but here's another you know more
practical one in exodus chapter 20 it says honor thy father and thy mother this is you know the
fifth commandment and thy days may be that thy days may be long upon the land which the lord
thy god giveth thee now when you read the ten commandments you know it seems like it's an order
of priority not that the ones at the bottom you can kind of dismiss you know the latter
half aren't no they're all important they're all the ten commandments but you know thou shall have
no other gods before me thou shall not make into the engraving image and bow thyself down to them
you know thou shalt not take the name of the lord thy god in vain remember the sabbath day to keep
it holy you know that top half though you can see how that's kind of more of a priority over
thou shalt not covet you know god's more would rather making sure that you're acknowledging him
and worshiping him before you well i'm not i'm not acknowledging god at least i'm not coveting
it's like so you can see how it's kind of an order of priority and i'm pointing that out because
honoring thy father and thy mother is number five
and then it's you know thou shalt not kill thou shall not commit adultery thou shalt not
steal thou shalt not covet then it's the rest of them right thou shalt not bear false witness
so that tells me that honoring your father and your mother is pretty high up on god's list
i mean when you're halfway up that's high on a list of ten
you know and obviously the the in that that we often apply that to you know just doing what your
parents tell you when you're a kid and that's that's absolutely right but i believe that he's
also talking about the bible and teaches elsewhere you know uh that we should uh we should care for
our own you know and who's you know if we don't um provide not for our own that you know if we
are worse than an infidel first timothy right that we we ought to honor our widows you know if
any man or woman would that believeth hath widows you know uh let them take care and let not the
church be charged right so that's what i believe that's referring to that's that's an immediate
application is that we and when our parents you know if they've lived a god you know if they have
taken care of us you know not even if that if our parents not even if they've taken care of us
if our parents need have need in their old age we are to honor them that's what it's talking about
period and people will come to me and i've even had this concern in times past about
you know what if i didn't have good parents and do i still have to requite my parents you know
repay them they didn't do anything for me so how am i really repaying well you know they did do
something for you you know they brought you into this world you know they put you know people always
ah my parents were so bad did they put food in your mouth and a roof over your head and shut up
yeah but you know they didn't they didn't nurture my emotional needs
you know i wish we could all have that you know honestly i i get that that
we have to deal with things like that but they didn't leave you to the elements
they didn't let they didn't let you go out there and and just die an early death at a young age
it's like oh you can walk now you're on your own son good luck
so that's what's talking about honor thy father and thy mother
why that thy days may be long upon the earth it's not just for their sake not just to requite them
not just to repay them but so god will bless you for it now obviously the other application applies
that you know if you want to live a long life kids if you're if you like how it's been going
so far you want to keep this going then honor your parents that's what it says where you are
in ephesians chapter 6 verse 1 if you're still there children obey your parents in the lord now
it says children you think that's talking about a grown man because i mean i'm still technically
my father's child but would you say i am a child you know if my dad calls me and says hey you need
to get up here and wash my car like i'm oh i'm supposed to drop every neglect my family drop all
my responsibilities so i can obey my parents i'm to honor him in his old age if he needs anything
i'll help him you know he and obviously today this isn't something we're called upon to do as often
people have other means to provide for themselves in their old age they have other family members
sometimes they rely on siblings and things like that and that's great but if the need is there
you know we should god commands in fact that we step up and fulfill that duty
but it does say children speaking to children obey your parents in the lord for this is right
honor thy father and thy mother which is the first commandment with promise it's the fifth
commandment but it's the first one with promise that it may be well with thee and that thou mayest
live long on the earth people want to live a long life today but and you know they're doing
everything but what the bible says to do so aren't they they're emphasizing everything except what
the bible actually teaches to to live for the long haul they're emphasizing emphasizing all
the physical and like i said earlier i'm not discounting the physical it plays a role it
profit little but the formula that we see in scripture is to fear god to serve him and to
keep the commandments and you know and and to honor our parents that's one of the commandments
to obey our parents you know do what you're told
that it may be well with thee and thou may least live long on the earth we all want that
but are we actually doing what the bible says or are we just making it all about what the world
teaches you know if i just drink this certain shake and add these supplements
and do enough cardio and do all that and look those are all fine things to do
you know and those are probably things that would benefit us you know immediately day to day we'd
have better health we'd probably feel better but is that any kind of a promise that's going to
actually extend our life you know the only promises that i see in the scripture of long life
you know they pertain to the spiritual not the physical they pertain to keeping god commandments
to fearing him and that that that's where the promises are and those and it's not just
and the great thing about is it's not just a promise of oh you're going to live a long time
it's you're going to live a long good life you know you're going to live a long life and you're
going to what see peace and good days you know i could testify to that the last 20 years as a
christian living for god been great last few years serving god down here
you know being in the ministry full time if you want to call it that whatever
been some of the best years of my life if not the best you know and i don't attribute that to
my exercise regime because that's been nearly non-existent
okay and i'm working on it all right give me a little grace
okay but i've still lived you know this long and it's been a blessed life why because i've
believed the promises of scripture that if we fear god and keep his commandments you know
that's when we're going to see length of days and peace let's go and pray dear lord again thank you
for the promise that we have in your word that we can live to a full ripe old age and that they're
going to be days that are filled with joy peace and happiness and gladness and contentment
lord a promise that's given to us with the stipulation lord we understand that if we
obey your word you've promised us these things lord i prayed help us to be people that fear you
and that love you and that serve you not you know not only out of a sense of devotion and love but
also so that we can enjoy the benefits of these promises here on earth and in the life to come
we ask in christ's name amen all right we'll sing one more song
oh
let it shine
is
say
forever
is
thank you
so
bye
you
