Share the Gospel…And Leave the Results to God

again I know you but the lights dim in me are you praying that right now if you’re joining us live stream somewhere else or here in the house make it your prayer Lord awaken my soul and as the holy spirit’s doing that in you would you whisper the name of someone you know that’s in darkness they do not know the light of this world Jesus Christ but if the Holy Spirit has his way maybe maybe today would be the start of the light coming on in

their lives as well because people need the Lord thank you Jesus for being here for being the light we need and for you Holy Spirit to teach us now so that it’ll stick it’ll stick and stay and make a difference in us from this day amen amen hey good morning church it’s good to have you and you who are joining from your home somewhere else we’re glad you’re joining us today and hopefully today you’ll feel something of the joy that we have here in the house

and I love that song that’s kind of new but I don’t think I plan to wear it out there’s joy in the house of the Lord and it’s true it’s true let me just say on the front end at the end of our service today we’re going to how can I say this kind of we’re going to hit you up for some big bucks okay and so if you’re nervous and you haven’t been to church in a while ago there there they are talking about money

no it’s not for us we’re 100 of the money that comes from the lemonade stand sale is going to go to an incredible Ministry in Honduras a partnership Ministry of ours for a lot of years we’ll get to that later but let’s talk about something that’s closer to home the the title I have today this series is and leave the results to God I’m pointing out the fact that there are there’s not a short list of things that we tend to read in the Bible and

feel compelled to do and we sometimes go too far with that sometimes we think it’s really up to me or to you so if the Bible says something I gotta do it and it’s all up to me and frequently we find that the truer description is the Bible tells you to do something today share the gospel do your part and then you probably know this from practice but I’ll say it out loud and leave the results to God let me let me give you a little

something to write down on the front end okay some of you have your note page out some of you at home can click onto the access point you came and joined us today and find the note page there and there’s some follow-up questions for you to have with your family or friends or by yourself anytime you want and you folks have it here in the house but here’s some I’d have you write down our calling is to convey truth about God and let God do the

convincing so we convey but we don’t convince because that’s too much on us that’s too much about your skill at debate and things that are much less than the gospel well here’s another way to put it more simply present the gospel don’t try to persuade the holy spirit is in the thing with you you have a son or a daughter or a friend or a co-worker who needs Jesus you’re not saying that as an indictment you’re saying it as a Biblical fact a truth and fact

that you know in your own life right correct raise your hand if you believe what I just said you know that to be true in your own the house is full of hands up okay so it’s not being judgmental of others to say I’m supposed to present that but the Holy Spirit Will persuade them that it’s true amen so here’s a question for you I want you to imagine a scene with me imagine you’re walking through your neighborhood a few blocks away from your actual Street

and you see smoke coming from a house it’s clearly not coming from the chimney it’s coming out the front door and the windows of this house there’s no one there except you and you notice it and you can’t not notice it but you don’t know the people that live there so my question is what would you do would you listen to me now knock softly and say UPS I I see that your house is burning I’d like to ask a few questions and let’s say the

door opened okay it flings open and there’s more smoke would you in that moment say something to them like hey hi we’ve never met but you mind if I if I well ask how did this fire start and then and they’re looking at you kind of shocked and in an obvious Panic on their face and you you stay with it you ask questions like was was there somebody careless did you leave a candle unattended do you do you did you did you put a space heater

a little too close to the curtains now how many would ask a single question I just mentioned raise your hands no why would you not ask that the house is on fire right it’s not this is not a trick question you you see that the house is on fire those questions they may matter someday when the investigation’s over but they do not matter on this day right the house is on fire and your only words are get out right Cory ten Boom ask something similar a

long time ago and these are as powerful today as when I first read them if I straighten the pictures on the walls of your home I’m committing no sin am I think of somebody no not quite there no no a little bit over I have this experience often with used to be just Debbie but now it’s my daughters who are setting up pictures and oh yeah well there’s three of them that’s a tricky wall to work with right you know you know what I’m talking about

because you can get them spaced evenly but then you have to get them level and it’s it’s it’s a it’s a spiritual crisis but anyway it has to happen because you’re the dad so you do that and back to Corey 10 boom she says if I straighten the pictures on the wall of your house I’m committing no sin am I but suppose that your house was on fire and I still went calmly about straightening the pictures what would you say would you think me Ally stupid

or very Wicked and then she asked the lives of people are on fire today and what are you doing to extinguish the flames that’s my topic today people’s lives are on fire they conceal the smoke they don’t look charred on the surface they do a pretty good job of not looking like they’ve got anything burned but they’re on fire nonetheless so what would you do if you could see better what clearly Jesus saw when he walked among people what would I do if I really had

eyes to see better that people’s lives maybe you’re watching today or you’re in this building today and you’re going he’s right man I I might get a fresh set of clothes no one smells any smoke on me but my my life’s messed up there’s fire since last Sunday do you realize that two people per second worldwide entered eternity in one of two places it’s kind of a jolt right some of you are filling your watch tick a little more with purpose right now every two seconds

someone worldwide leaves this life and heads to Eternity in one of two very different places and if you go with Jesus words in Matthew chapter 7 when he described people in those two places Heaven or Hell he said actually many are those who don’t get to heaven in other words the fire burns them up and for them eternity is all too real that they discovered firsthand now that failing to turn from their way to Jesus the only way has Eternal consequences now I’m not going to

play on your mood or emotion I’m just setting it up for some reality that I think I need to hear and maybe we all do I have a growing number of people I know who have left places that are burning they’re sick of it and you know what I’m not disgusted by that I hear that and I actually understand that I grew up in a place in Oakland it’s a bad place not all of it there’s some good people in Oakland my apologies if you’re watching

from there but they had this thing called white flight and I was white and the church that I was in in Downtown Oakland was all white and at the day it was built in neighborhoods everywhere we’re all white and then the the race and the culture changed and we left town we left town there were reasons I don’t think anybody’s Spirit-filled person in that group left town you know with a bad spirit I think they left town for safety’s sake it was it was it had

turned to Beirut am I talking it’s safe to talk about Oakland it’s you know 600 miles south but there’s a place a lot closer than that and people regularly leave town for good one way I’m out of here I’m not rebuking them please understand the guy that just said all that has that Temptation in his heart too so this morning I want us to begin by taking a look at Jesus and then we’re going to finish in one other passage in Colossians chapter 4. But start

with me in Matthew chapter nine would you just turn it’s the opening of four gospels Matthew Mark Luke and John if you don’t have a Bible I would encourage you to get one not just use your app because it’s it’s really cool to have the pages of scripture in front of you the very words that in this case are descriptive of Jesus Matthew chapter 9 ends kind of a rapid Pace he finished a great sermon the sermon on the mouth Matthew on the mouth Matthew 5

6 and 7 is The Sermon on the Mount then chapter eight boy Jesus kind of goes for it and he’s healing and touching and delivering people Peril paralysis is healed I mean the list is long he raises a dead girl and heals a sick woman and then at the end of this chapter after healing a blind person and giving speech to a mute person verse 12 35 describes Jesus went through all of the towns and villages teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of

the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness verse 36 when he saw the crowds he had compassion on them because they were harassed and helpless they were like sheep without a shepherd and with an audience his disciples traveling with him he turns to his disciples and says the Harvest is plentiful presumably pointing out what he saw with his naked eye the Harvest is plentiful but the workers not so much they’re few so ask the lord of the Harvest may I paraphrase it to send you to

send out workers is safe because I get to say ah that doesn’t apply to me I’m not good enough I don’t speak well enough it’s not about that remember you’re not here to persuade you’re here to present so ask the lord of the Harvest to send you into the Harvest field these words describe what I’m going to say it felt like to be Jesus in a world full as he looked around of lives of Blaze you with me words we just read 35 to 38 please

you make a terrible mistake of the text if you think they’re academic these words are not meant to be academic some of us have memorized them kind of taken them out of the feeling level these words are deeply affective meaning from inside the soul that that are used here this is all about Jesus how else would you explain the moving words right in the middle that begin in verse 36. What stands out look again at verse 36 Jesus felt compassion that’s all you need to look

at for right now it’s a verb and it’s a verb of strong emotion it’s not like oh sucks to be him you know you’ve heard that saying sorry it came from the pulpit but it’s true we sometimes have that ah bomber bomber man avoid eye contact you know no Jesus with deep feeling in his soul strong emotion it’s another way of saying his heart went out to them there’s not just a arms folded white flight going on here this is Jesus saying oh my oh moved

he felt this way notice not for a few it’s all right here in the text not for a few but for all do you see he healed every disease do you see that not the deserving he healed every disease and every sickness and the next verse notice he looked at the crowds it could have said he looked at that guy in the back in a big Crush of people you notice that dude over there that’s that’s a mess man there’s smoke coming from him no it’s

all he uses all why all well that’s who Jesus is and here’s my answer because God who made every one of us never made someone he didn’t love is that fair enough do we agree with that I mean I think I do I think that there’s no other way to look at John 3 16 for example for God so loved oh no he didn’t say a few or that particular group or that City or that Pastor and his wife and family no 100 of everybody in

this house and you outside somewhere else he never met a single or built made a single person that he didn’t love and that’s also Romans 5 8 God showed that love for us would you stop a minute and go who me everybody one two three who me yeah you God showed his love for me this way while I was at my worst a sinner what did Jesus do he died for me there’s a great theology adjustment in that statement because we’re still even though you know

that truth you’ve memorized Romans 5 8 and John 3 16. You know it like I know it something inside me goes and I’m getting good or all the time God I keep this up and maybe you wouldn’t have had to die for me after all you’re hearing my logic I’m not alone in that in fact some people stay away from a prayer that says God have mercy on me The Sinner the seven words that change that man’s life in Luke 18 they stay away from that

prayer why because well you know what I got a few problems but I’m not on fire I know some people that are they’re about to burn up but not me Folly knows no bounds look again Jesus communicates the good news that’s why we’re told in verse 35 at the beginning there he taught in their synagogues he proclaimed the good news of the Kingdom that’s that’s the starting point it’s important to communicate it got to say the words share the truth and then notice later in the

same verse he showed the truth he didn’t just teach proclaim the kingdom but he healed every sickness verse 35 ends and every disease he showed the gospel did you know that would you look back at this kind of cool I’ll just point it out I’m having you look for a single three-letter conjunction that’s a fancy word for a small word a little word that’s a connector word we just read it so Jesus went through you get to look at it again all the towns and Villages

teaching in their synagogues proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom and there’s a word did I slow down long enough to get your attention and healing every disease and sickness so Jesus talked the good news and he walked the good news is that your and my MO needs to be I have to tell you a funny story it made the person laugh that I hadn’t told this story in so long I was a young person in Mexico when I met Jesus on a missions trip to

be with my dad really but he said hey why don’t you go out and share so we went out and shared shared with Mexican people in Mexico and we needed to get their attention we needed people to kind of get interested in aside from the fact that we’re from America we came with something that we know their soul needs the gospel so there’s a bunch of us and to get their attention we we threw gospel bombs we used to call them which is kind of an

incorrect way of saying it today that wouldn’t work especially near an airport but anyway we would put in Ziploc bags we would put candy and a gospel track and and instructions about tonight’s meeting in this little village come at the Nightfall there’s going to be a movie and there was no electricity so we had to bring our own I mean it was a really cool mobile Ministry called Caravans for Christ and we and we did that and so we would sit on the back gate of

a truck or outside with Van doors open and we would it’s going very slow no dust Gathering except the children that were coming from everywhere and we would throw gospel bombs and they would of course get the candy so I guess in a sense we were manipulating them to come that night because they got candy and may get more so they did they came by the hundreds and then that night so so we we sang cool songs and every one of us had to memorize Our

Testimony in Spanish a three-minute testimony hola buenos Tardes how much time I got left you know you know what I mean it was that kind for some of us it was painful but it worked and tons of people surrendered to Jesus we showed we we got among the people we enticed them to come it was all at work that was a long time ago we still have to do that kind of stuff today so I want us to jump here from Matthew I told you a

last passage and it’s really cool because the details are given here flip over to Paul’s letter to a church in colossae an ancient city he never did visit as we know but he threw a complicated kind of connections it was planted by some people he had reached elsewhere and Paul is writing this of course from prison in Rome so he’s behind bars but he’s carrying a whole bunch about these people and it it becomes really a a practical how-to statement in this four chapter letter in

the last chapter and it’s really a how-to we’re going to learn right now how to show and share how to say it and show it okay I love that childhood thing we did it at least in grade school Show and Tell remember that it’s kind of a good picture of the Gospel we did it after Spring Break and summer break I recall you come back to school and everybody tells you know show and tell so you had to show where you went and tell a story

or something so it works here too the gospel how to show and share the gospel look at these words chapter 4 verse 2 devote yourselves to prayer being watchful and thankful and pray for us too that God may open a door for our message so that we may Proclaim the mystery of Christ for which I am an ambassador or for which I am in Chains I pray that I may Proclaim it clearly as I should be wise in the way you act toward Outsiders make the

most of every opportunity let your conversation those are words be always full of grace seasoned with salt so that you may know how to answer everyone Paul starts off you caught it already where Jesus left off remember Jesus he saw those people he was burdened they were downcast as sheep without a Shepherd what’s it say next we just came from there he told his disciples too pray that’s where Paul begins this passage pray for impact you might have noticed it when we read it three times

in these three verses we’re told to pray verse 2 pray persistently that’s devote yourself to prayer in other words it’s not a popcorn prayer on the run and you know one and done devote yourself to prayer is more than a passing quick shot I’m thinking of the person you know that’s got smoke coming from them you you know that because you’ve paid attention good for you and you know it too because you love them or you’d never see the smoke and so Paul’s words are really

good so pray continuously for them the word I’m using is persistently look at verse 3 pray purposefully look how he changes it pray for us too that God may open a door for our message so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ for which I am in Chains so pray persistently pray purposefully and then one more P here to help you remember it verse four pray personally notice how it clearly switches to him and and pray that I May Proclaim as I should with clarity

some of you are saying well wait but I thought this was a message about the urgency of putting out people fires and and you’re absolutely right it actually is and prayer I’m going to say the discovery I made is apparently a big and Powerful tool for doing the very thing we’re talking about today sharing the gospel and leaving the results to God it’s I didn’t plan on this maybe something about a military getting the or a gardener tilts the soil for the seed of the Gospel

a little pre-work certain military reconnaissance goes before infantry make it or whatever I’m not sure but you get the idea here so there’s this advanced work going on and it’s it’s it is work prayer is a is apparently so significant it makes the cut three times in this little Passage I hope you’re asking why why would that be is that just a teacher kind of drawing circles around repeating words maybe that’s true but maybe it’s more than that maybe it has to do with why they

would be on fire and do nothing about their situation could that be seems like it to me and may I suggest it it’s pretty spot on a couple of things tell me the song We sang earlier the battle and that’s what it is for Souls did you know that these words are in our Bible second Corinthians chapter four a single word and I want you to write this down and it has to do with everybody on fire that’s ever been on fire they’re blinded they might

actually see smell smoke they don’t see that it’s coming from them you hear that let your mind go there it’s true they don’t get that why why do I say that because in the case of the unbelieving second Corinthians chapter 4 says Satan has blinded their eyes so that they cannot see they’re in trouble and they can’t see who can help them in the trouble the light of the glory of the gospel of Christ so that word needs to be on your page right now it

needs to be in your heart the people I love that don’t know Jesus they’re blind here’s another word and it it comes from another New Testament Passage second Timothy chapter 2. It tells us that people who are on fire and do nothing about their worsening condition are actually bound so if I said right now scratch your nose everybody on three let’s see you scratch your nose okay just do it for my sake all right so we’re together still on this ready one two three okay all

right all right you got it you know where your nose is and you scratched it good for you all right so now handcuff your pretend or sit on your hands okay on three I want everybody you’re by the your hands are stuck okay you’re handcuffed now on three scratch your nose one two three Oh weird things are happening oh somebody just rubbed their nose on somebody’s shirt that’s tacky that is you want a name I could give you a name but anyway Do not sit near

this person ushers can you get a box of Kleenex to the third row they’re gonna need them but anyway get the point why could you not use your hands you could use your neighbor’s shirt I get it okay but you could not use your hands they’re bound second Timothy chapter two the Lord’s Bond servant that’s you and me telling this gospel must not get in a fist fight or a quarrel let’s not be quarrelsome but must be kind to all able to teach gently correcting those

who are in opposition if perhaps God May grant them eyes to see an ability to scratch their nose and lead them he might grant them repentance it says in second Timothy 2 at the very end there grant them repentance that leads them to the knowledge of the truth having been held captive the words bound by Satan to do his will they’re not stupid they just can’t they know their nose is a mess they just can’t scratch it maybe we could say they know the fire at

some levels coming from them and they got no water they don’t know how to get out of their burning clothes so Paul is saying pray for opportunities I love that word verse 3 In this passage pray for these opportunities do you see the word opportunities you see that in verse three they’re called doors here it’s an opportunity verse 4 says make the most or verse 5 make the most of walking through those doors opportunities some of you do this so cool how are doors open first

what are doors they’re they’re they’re really people they’re places their schools if you go if you teach or have a child grandchild in school that’s a door it’s where you work that’s got to be a door I think it’s a neighborhood it’s people you know and here’s one more doors swing wide open when you’re around people with serious hurt going on in their lives they really do I mean they swing wide open so if you’re talking to somebody with loss or failure or disappointment or grief

you’re talking to somebody that’s just raw they’re Raw the fire is Raging those are doors and the Bible is telling us walk through them and when you do pray with Precision on as to how you share that’s verse four I want to Proclaim it a certain way clearly I want to you do too which probably means keep it simple can I give you four words that’s the gospel guaranteed every time if you get away from this that’s fine if you embellish it and give more information

that’s fine too but these four will get you to the gospel Christ died for you or us make it us Christ died for us every one of those words will give you a chance to talk about so what’s behind that Christ who’s he well he’s God he said so John 1 2 5 10 20 all those chapters he talks about himself being God okay Christ died why did he die did he do something wrong more to talk about four means in place of on behalf of

theologians call it substitutionary atonement that will kill the conversation by the way so I didn’t use it four Works Christ died four and the home run us is better I like us now they think about it because it’s you saying I this is me I was on fire too okay that’s the gospel so remember nothing beats your story your before and after Story I I love to tell people this who are going through all manners of personal trial First Council I give is get a journal

or a diary or notes on your phone or whatever that lets you record everything you’re going through you have a four tire blowout in your life your life is wrecked we’ve established that and I feel terrible about that don’t make the mistake and go my goal is to forget all about this expunge it from my life scrub it clean and get rid of it Jesus says don’t do that that’s right don’t do that it’s so counter-intuitive because it’s so icky right we think that way and

it’s it’s contrary it’s counter-intuitive it’s a Jesus story it’s Jesus saying I met you at the worst and I didn’t run from you because I made you and I’ve never made someone that I didn’t love so you tell your story can I tell you one that we’ve lost count how many times we’ve been able to tell about since June 10th my Debbie’s story of learning that she’s in the fight for her life and we absolutely share that with it’s so natural it’s like the Holy Spirit

just says tell your story and because it’s a story that says Jesus took care of us what you’re expecting to hear OHSU or Kaiser or you know oncology or whatever they helped they had a they had a role Jesus was captain of the team he carried us through it you don’t have to preach a sermon that’s what I do okay so but you get to tell your story and and leverage your story get comfortable with it tell it often don’t stutter don’t be shy that you

know Paul by the way used his story all the time there’s a there’s a great story about another man that I actually had a privilege of meeting he’s with Jesus now but his name is Chuck Colson and he was a visiting Minister a few several times at the church I came from after well when his story was out but he his story is about being a very powerful man he had something like 10 doctorates some of them earned some of them honorary he was a big

deal I don’t have a single doctorate on my wall in the office he had them all over the place oh by the way I didn’t tell you he was special counsel to the president of the United States all right now you start to go hello sir right and he he as he put it he was one office door from the Oval Office and he could walk into the Oval Office without knocking that big a deal one more thing he mentioned to us he said I could

order a military plan a U.S military plan to take me anywhere on planet Earth and I would not need a co-signature he’s telling all this you’re like whoa this guy’s bigger than this room can handle there were thousands listening to his words and then he says what does God choose to use from my life as his legacy federal prisoner number 4263821 Chuck Coulson hatchet man in Watergate under President Richard Nixon he had a story to tell that the holy spirit said I can leverage this thing

all day long if you’ll just give me a chance and if you know anybody that’s been incarcerated you know that they’re in a prison almost anywhere in the world that has a chapter of Chuck colson’s Ministry called prison fellowship that’s a story you got to get comfortable with because I want to I want to tell you about the advanced degrees and my achievements which by the way if you’ve been in my office there’s none of them are on the wall it doesn’t matter there aren’t many

anyway you get the idea it’s about Jesus Don’t Close Your Bibles before noticing verse 5 it’s really important it’s a couple other quick things that Paul is saying pay close attention to your walk be wise in the way you act or walk or relate to people on fire those are people without Jesus make the most of every opportunity boy so much more as Christians Our Lives they should be stories where we where we don’t have to shout it they shout it our our story is shouted

look at me not a perfect person but a person with difference in his life and then I get to tell you why that’s a gospel that’s a testimony that is that is that is being careful in acting toward Outsiders and Paul I’m going to read about four verses in second Timothy for First Timothy chapter one you can turn there it’s about four pages later in your Bible he said this much later in his life I thank Christ Jesus our lord First Timothy 1 verse 12. Who

has given me strength and he’s considered me trustworthy and point and appointed me into his service notice the next two words even though I was once a blasphemer a what a persecutor you’re kidding a violent aggressor he says and I was shown Mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief and the grace of our Lord is sharing a secret now was poured out on me abundantly along with faith and love that are in Christ Jesus and then he says this to jerk you and me out

of our chair and it does have this effect here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full Acceptance in other words there is not an exception you and I can point to not even you Christ Jesus came into the world to save Sinners of whom I am the worst Chuck Coulson did not talk about his degrees he did not talk about days in the White House all his fancy stuff and life he talked about his greatest failure he said it like that it was me going to

prison federal prison for high crimes I committed and what did God use as my legacy not my time in the White House my time in the big house that’s what he said and we laughed out loud you chuckled some of you but it was like a great statement it was God going I got something that I can use in you amen amen that’s just so cool and I want it to be so comfortable with us so and then verse six pay a close attention not only

to you talk but you walk he called you I’m in second I’m in Thessalonians still cautions four six look at this let your conversation be full of grace season as it were with Saul just like Ephesians 4 29. So that you would know how you should respond to every person I want to I want to shoot kill a belief right now and that is that somehow this is easier for a pastor I’ve I could have checked but I’ve preached thousands of times I’ve never kept count

of how many I’ve put to sleep but I’ve been in this spot a lot and sometimes there’s this temptation to go that works for him but not so much the rest of us or maybe you’re more personal just for you how many know the name Billy Graham right how many know the name of his younger brother Melvin Graham maybe a handful Maybe Billy Graham was in this setting way more than I have ever been Melvin not once Mel it turns out was a farmer oh well

you know one out of two isn’t bad right one made a difference people thought that maybe never said it like I just did but they think that’s still you decide based on Melvin’s words I believe God called me to be a farmer and I’ll tell you why I don’t care what occupation you’re in there’s always that chance to be a witness I’m a witness who’s never been ashamed of it Melvin went on I’ve always said I just want to be a nobody maybe that’s how it

felt a little bit to be in the shadow of his big brother although I doubt it I just want to be a nobody that is willing to tell everybody about somebody who can save anybody amen not bad for a farmer wouldn’t you say it’s powerful powerful truth God’s never once made a person he didn’t love and he’s left it to you and me his followers those of us who’ve turned from our way to the Jesus way to show others the way my guess is that most

of us pass burning houses a lot maybe it’s time we said you know what pounding the house saying things we didn’t think we could find words for get out I’ll show you the way follow me I pray that God gives us that today and for every day in our futures let’s bow together and God thank you for Melvin I like Melvin I’ve never met him but I thank you that he probably shows us as much about being comfortable in his skin as we could possibly learn

what a takeaway I want to be that kind of person who says freely I’m a nobody I’m a nobody that’s willing to tell everybody about the somebody Jesus Christ who can save anybody thank you Jesus that you use Paul to say I’m the worst of Sinners and then he said he came into the world Jesus did to save me the worst of Sinners so that he might send a message to anybody else with a fire on their hands I can do the same for you if

you’re hearing me this morning in the house or in your house would you turn to Jesus Christ right now Christ died for you settle that and say Jesus I don’t even need to know the implications I just want you if you did that for me I want you and starting now show me what that means help me see the implications and please dear Jesus put out the fire you’re the god of the city Lord You’re the god of Tigard Oregon and many other places represented in

this room and we ask for you to do a great work to expand your kingdom and your gospel as flame after flame is extinguished and people live and may eternity tell a story that just makes us blush in humility that you used us in the name of Jesus the way the tru
