TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles - Morning Manna - September 17, 2025 - Proverbs 12:1-4 - The Wise Love Correction

Episode Date: September 17, 2025

In today’s Morning Manna, we study Proverbs 12:1–4, where Solomon reminds us that loving instruction and accepting reproof is the pathway to true knowledge, while despising correction leaves a person brutish and unwise. We see how God’s favor rests on the upright and how righteousness establishes life with stability. Solomon then contrasts the blessing of a virtuous wife, who is a crown to her husband, with the shame and sorrow caused by a dishonorable one. These verses call us to embrace correction, walk in integrity, and cherish the gift of godly relationships.  Teachers: Rick Wiles and Doc BurkhartYou can partner with us by visiting FaithandValues.com, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.MEGA FIRE reveals the ancient recurring cycles of war and economic collapse that have shaped history for 600 years.

Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Morning Manna. We're delighted to have you here today, wherever you are in the world, to study the Word of God. Today we began chapter 12 in the book of Proverbs. We're going to look at verses 1 through 7. So let's pray, invite the Holy Spirit, and Dr. Burkhart will read the word, and all of us will jump into it and study together. Almighty God, our Father in heaven, thank you for a new day. We give you, glory and praise and honor because you alone deserve it there is no other god there never has been another god there is not another god now there will not be another god tomorrow you are the only god and we worship you father father we invite your holy spirit into this bible study

to teach us your word your word teaches us about your ways your kingdom your son jesus our king so enlighten us and lead us on the path of righteousness in the name of jesus amen amen and good morning and welcome to the live edition of morning manna so glad to have hundreds of you here with us today around the world god bless you i normally do greetings all different countries, but we want to get right into the word today because we got a schedule to keep this week. So beginning at verse 1 and chapter 12, whoso loveth instruction, loveth knowledge, but he that hateth reproof is brutish. There's a word you don't hear, use very much.

A good man obtaineth favor of the Lord, but a man of wicked devices will he condemn. A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of right of the righteous shall not be moved. A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband. She that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones. The thoughts of the righteous are right, but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. The words the wicked are to lie and wait for blood, but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. In verse 7, the wicked are overthrown and are not that the house of the righteous shall stand. That's a promise of God today from His word.

Praise the Lord. Proverbs, chapter 12, verses 1 through 7. Fantastic. All right, we've got seven verses today instead of five. I'm going to go somewhat faster. I also spent about 15 minutes chatting with our class before we began the class. So we're laid into the hour. Verse 1, chapter 12, verse 1. Who so loveth instruction, loveeth knowledge? But he that hateeth reproof is brutish.

The World English Bible says, Whoever loves correction loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid. Doc, a lot of the translations use the word stupid. Now, the Peshita translation, which is from Aramaic language, he that loves discipline loves knowledge and he that hates reproof is a fool okay right same go ahead no I was going to say if you go back to the original Hebrew and and Aramaic it means like a dumb animal yes yes that's that's literally what it means not just an animal but a dumb one a dumb one I've had some

dumb animals along the way yes and that's what this is referring to so we'll begin with those who love instruction who whosoever loveth instruction loveth knowledge instruction meaning moral training you know education learning about the ways of God about wisdom, righteousness, but that also includes discipline and correction. You'll know when you are really advancing on this path, when you come to the place that you actually enjoy being disciplined by your father. I never thought I would say that. But I've come to realize it's a good thing. It's a good thing.

I used to, I don't want to be disciplined by God. But I've come to realize it's a good thing. First of all, it means he's paying attention to you. Right. Did you ever see a child act up? And someone says to the father, he's just trying to get your attention. Well, he got it. Yeah.

But when the father realizes, oh, the misbehavior is not really that the child is desiring to be bad, but the child is doing something bad to get me to look at him or her. There's times when the Lord, when you realize, hey, you know what? He really does pay attention to me. He does follow me. He is involved in my life. And when he's disciplined me, he's not beating me. He's not whipping me.

He doesn't have a whip or cane. He didn't have a board. He's, he's, he's, the discipline is. his firm rebuke and instruction that's done lovingly. You know,

when Jeremy and Carissa were little, now this is a, you know, probably wasn't, probably wasn't something Dr. James Dobson recommend it. Uh-oh. But it was just,

It was the way I, you know, I grew up in a country, okay? All I had to do was take a thick twig off a tree and just bring that thing through the air and make that whip sound, okay, in the air. Never touch them. Never touch them with it. the sound terrified them that's all the father has to do is like do you know who you're who i am do you do you understand what i can do that'll get you in line really fast but he will lovingly correct you he will not beat you he will not whip you he will not crush you he'll crush your pride he'll crush your your strong will he'll crush your

stubbornness but it won't crush your spirit he won't break you to the point that you're you can't function now he'll he'll deal with the things that are preventing you from being who he made you to be when you come to the place you actually desire your father to do those things it's like this is my father this is my heavenly father and he actually does love me and he's he's proving his love by taking time to correct me and the reason he's correcting me is to make me better he's not correcting me to make me ashamed he's correcting me to make me better and the reason he's making me better is because he loves me. So the

wise love instruction. They love knowledge. To love instruction means to embrace correction with humility. Lately, I've been watching old red skeleton videos from the fifties i never saw these episodes sorry it was when

red skeleton was in his late 30s and early 40s and uh there was one thing doc he would always do when you know he'd bang his head into a wall or you know somebody would hit him or something like that you know and he'd make this funny face and say oh it feels so good all right See, you get to the place with correction where you're saying, you know, this is the only kind of correction that feels good. I'm being corrected, but it's for my good. It's actually, I'm going to be better for this correction. You can only have that attitude when you know who God is, that he is your sweet, loving, papa he's not a big mean terrible fearsome god in heaven he's only that to the wicked but to you

he's your sweet papa so those who love correction value truth more than comfort the teachable spirit is the mark of wisdom you have a teachable spirit everybody that's in this class you've got a teachable spirit or you wouldn't show up five days a week for an hour you have a teachable spirit don't be asking i wonder if i have a teacher you have a teachable spirit you're here in a class for one hour five days a week that is a true mark of a teachable spirit so knowledge one way that knowledge is gained

is by your willingness to be corrected right and discipline as we know though sometimes it's painful it produces growth in character. Why is it painful? It's not painful because, again, God doesn't take a whip or

a rod or a paddleboard and beat you with it. It's not the physical pain. What's painful is the discomfort of dealing with things in your heart and your mind and your soul that shouldn't be there and God says I'm going to remove it and that's the discipline he just says let me let's let's get this out of you let's deal with this that can be anger can be bitterness could be lust it can be whatever it is okay one's not worse than the other one's not better than the other these are all things that that each of us in one way or the other we deal with these problems and the Lord says for you to grow for you to become what I planned you to be before you were born we have to remove these things right that's what's painful yes when he cracks your

chest and goes down deep into your heart and does a triple bypass surgery on you and you're awake for the whole thing it's like he's talking to you and he's saying hey you know what i've just found here in your heart what is it lord when he tells you oh that's painful oh and he's like do you want me to take it out yes take it out you're going to feel better if i take it out take it out lord take it out okay it's going to hurt when i pull it out okay do it Lord, that's the pain. That's the pain that we endure in discipline. But just do it.

Just do it. And Rick, would you say that having a teachable spirit is the first qualification of being a good teacher as well? Oh, absolutely. You won't even get to that teacher level without having the teachable spirit because a lot of these professors and instructors and colleges here in the U.S., they don't have teachable spirits. They're there for the propaganda. They're not there to learn from their students. They're there to tell their students,

this is what you have to know. Yes, you got it. So, Doc, you know, all of us, I think, underestimate how much pain and discomfort we can bear. hold up to um and i think that's why people fear disciplined by god they have a a quiet fear i don't want to be disciplined by god because we think we can't handle the pain actually you can and he doesn't he's he's gentle he's a gentle doctor he's a gentle surgeon he doesn't lose his patience he doesn't look at his nurse and go oops that one died no better increase our our insurance coverage you know all this we can endure pain you know but we don't we don't know it until we go through it and then we find out you know one time this you know all my stories are

long time ago. Okay. They're never recent. They're never recent. They're just a long time ago. So they have they have to ferment for a decade or two before they get really good. Oh, this was more than one decade. So this was this was back in the I'm going to say the late 80s, maybe the early 90s. Okay. And Susan and I and Jeremy and Crystal, we were all together in the family. We were in the kitchen, and Susan and I were, you know, clowning around with each other. And Jeremy and Crystal were laughing at us and stuff like that. And I don't remember everything out of it, but Susan gave me a shove in good nature, all right, gave me a shove.

And I felt backwards and felt back against the kitchen wall laughing. I'm laughing, okay? And it was right where the trash can was located. But the trash bag, I had taken the trash bag out and placed it on the floor. I had not taken it out to the, put it in the trash can, you know, and outside. And anyhow, at the bottom of that bag was an aluminum can with the lid sticking out. okay that's why you should always push lids down in a can okay never have never put a can in a in a bag with the lid sticking out okay somebody's going to get hurt not that's what happened to me

and my foot went up against that lid and uh it sliced my heel like a a piece of ham and i mean Doc, just like a slice all the way through my heel. My heel was flapping. It literally was flapping. That's hurting now just talking about it. Oh, I know. It hurt. Okay.

The moment I saw it, you know, if you got a flapping heel, you know, you're going to the hospital. This one, all right. I'm on my way to the ER. So I went to the ER. and they got me on a bed I'm laying face down and the nurse comes in and she cleans up my foot

she says the doctor will be here she said now here's what's going to happen Mr. Wiles I'm cleaning up your foot and then the next person who's going to come in is going to give you you're going to get some needle shots to numb your foot

and then the doctor's going to come in and stitch your foot I said, okay, all right, go for it. Let's do it. So I'm laying there, face down, waiting on the person to come in and give me the needle. Well, the person who came in was a doctor, and the needle that he gave me was to stitch my foot. And I gripped both sides of the bed, and he said, did you feel that? I said, did I feel that? I said, it felt like you stuck a needle.

in my foot and pulled a string through it. And he just kept sewing my heel. And after he got it done, the nurse came in and she gasped. She goes, oh, Dr. So-and-so, we never gave him anesthetics. And he just looked at me, he says, oh, well, you're tough, aren't you? And I go, well, I am

now. He got out of there quick. It's like, you know, he was probably thinking, oh, this is a lawsuit, but I didn't. Hey, the stitches are in there. It's okay. I'm fine. I'm going home. But what I learned was, oh, Rambo wasn't that tough when he sewed himself up. You can do this. You can endure more pain than you know. All right. So what I'm telling you is don't be fearful of pain that you haven't experienced. And don't be fearful of pain. of God discipline you because he's not going to be mean.

He's a loving father and he will discipline you with love. Now, if you resist, if you kick and scream, he's going to get tougher with you. But this is what this is teaching. If you love instruction, you'll love knowledge and you'll accept discipline. Because you know God is doing this for your. good. But he that hated reproof is brutish.

This word to be a brute. Doc was right at the beginning of the class. It refers to a dumb animal. But Doc, it also means to take away, to burn,

to feed, to set on fire, to kindle, to consume by fire. but in this case it refers to a gross coarse beast just as you said a dumb animal right okay um so to hate reproof is to despise godly correction to reject his counsel to harden your heart and your mind against truth and the word says people that act like that they have a spirit that is animal like governed by their carnal instincts and passions not reason and so it implies and again you know the word that was used was stupid it implies stupidity stubbornness moral dullness like

what is wrong with you yes what is wrong with you i'm trying to help you and you're fighting against me it the behavior is is detrimental to the to the brutes own best interest where it comes from is pride that's right at the heart of this attitude is pride a refusal to admit weakness and a refusal to admit faults a refusal to get help a refusal to be corrected a refusal to change your ways i'm just going to keep doing the same thing i've been doing it hasn't worked for years but i'm going to continue doing it do you know people like that like what you've been doing hasn't worked but you're determined to keep doing it what is that what is that spirit in people i'm not going to change my ways isn't working but

they're my ways that's really the attitude my ways don't work but they're my ways is pride and the word says you're actually stupid this is beyond being a fool this is stupid

so to be a brute is to diminish to degrade the image of God to live and act and talk like an animal instead of a person made in the likeness and image of Almighty God. Look at the way so many young people have disfigured their bodies. Look at some of the extreme tattoos, the extreme plastic surgery. to make people i mean we've seen these photographs in these videos of people who've who have paid money to make their bodies look like an animal yeah like what are you doing you're you're degrading your

body made in the likeness of image of god and you're making yourself look like a brute that is stupid but that's what the devil does hey i got this plan for you i'm going to degrade you you you're actually going to pay money to deform your to deform your body to make yourself look like a snake or a lion or a cat or something so the brute a person with a brutish heart views discipline as an insult instead of a loving correction how dare you see there's the pride and there's at the heart of it there's hostility towards god um john gill to love instruction is the love knowledge for knowledge is obtained by correction but that but he that hates reproof his brutish void of reason like a brute

beast Alexander McLaren wisdom begins with the love of being taught the rejection of proof is not only folly but degradation for it flings away reason and acts like a brute verse two

a good man obtain a favor of the Lord but a man of wickedness of wicked devices will be condemned a world English Bible good man shall obtain favor from Yahweh but he will condemn a man of wicked devices Septuagint he that has found favor with the Lord is made better but a transgressor shall be passed over in silence I like the way that's worded there

well doc the Septuagint is the accurate translation of the Old Testament like the way that reads have you received the silent treatment oh imagine receiving the silent treatment from god wow i'm not talking to you yeah wow the uh aramaic pishita it will be well for the man who keeps the will of the lord jehovah and an evil man will be condemned So good man obtains favor of the Lord. Good means upright, sincere, living in faithfulness, righteousness before God and men. This goodness is not man-made. It's the fruit of grace working in the person's heart.

Right. If you think you're good without God, you are deceived. the only goodness in you and me is the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives Amen The favor means God's approval His blessing His kindness towards you

Okay And you know As we've been told in previous chapters of Proverbs God's favor is better than silver and gold So so favor comes not from merit by what we do but it comes from God's mercy his grace his favor rest upon those who sincerely walk

in his ways obtain means to draw down to secure to receive so god delights to show favor to his children but a man of wicked devices will he condemn wicked devices is an old english phrase for schemes plots cunning plans to do harm to somebody else or to gain selfish selfish advantage over others god says that person's condemned what is it they they rely on their craftiness instead of their conscience they rely on manipulation instead of truth they rely on their cleverness

rather than on wisdom but these schemes succeed for time but god is watching and then he judges. And he judges them when they least expect it. He pronounces him guilty. He brings them to punishment. He rejects them, which is the worst of all.

The ultimate rejection is at the judgment seat. But these devices show the character of the heart that they're crooked, deceitful. Now, the courts of the world let guilty people escape. But they will not escape God's court because he sees it, he records it, and they will not escape justice. Charles Bridges, the good man, walks under the smile. of God's countenance. I like that.

Obtaining favor continually, but the schemer, however artful, finds himself condemned of God and often of his own conscience. Albert Barnes, the contrast is between the man who finds favor because of his goodness and the schemer whose cunning devices bring him under condemnation.

Yes, it's an absolute difference. The contrast is absolute. favor or condemnation there's no in between there that's right alexander mclaran god is on the side of the good wicked cleverness may seem to prosper but it is under sentence already the end is condemnation william are not of scotland said the good man lives under god's favor as under sunshine the wicked plotter works under a cloud and that cloud breaks in storm upon his head

wow verse three a man shall not be established by wickedness but the root of the righteous shall not be moved wicked people You know Often they They secure

Temporarily They secure power And wealth and influence But it can't give them stability They reign and rule for season But it's not permanent See, a man shall not be established

by wickedness It doesn't say that A wicked man or woman will not temporarily have power and wealth. It says they will not be established. See, sin is on shaky ground. And without God's blessing, it cannot last. Wicked men can rise quickly and fall just as quickly. That's right.

But the righteous shall not be moved. so wickedness undermines the person's own foundation their corruption corrods their life from within you know history's full of stories of rulers powerful people that rose to power and then suddenly collapsed it says shall not meaning it is impossible to establish a permanent life built on wickedness

shall not there's not one person who's ever built a permanent life built on wickedness but the root of the righteous shall not be moved so in this part of the verse it says the righteous has a root

the righteous have deep roots planted in God's truth and therefore they have his favor roots speak of the hidden life where the nourishment from God is coming up from the deep the roots of a tree, an old tree the roots extend far from

the base of the trunk it's holding that tree I have trees in my yard that I would estimate are well over 100 years old because I get some old people on my road and they're like that tree's been there a long time as long as I've been around

that tree's been standing there well what does that mean that tree has deep and wide roots that hold it in place how many how many hurricanes have those trees in my yard withstood and why

why one tree remains but another tree gets knocked down because the roots are deep and wide right and the roots the roots are gripping just think of a tree like its fingers gripping the ground when a storm comes right it's just hanging on yeah well that's the way it is for the righteous when a storm comes you just grip because you got strong roots you can only have strong roots if you are plant it by a river of living water. Right. And this is the same word that is used to describe the Messiah in Isaiah chapter 53, Rick. For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant and as a root out of a dry ground.

And that chapter there is talking. It's a prophecy about the Messiah, Jesus coming. And so we identify with that. When we have that root in us, we identify with Jesus also being that root himself. Jesus himself is that root. He is the branch, the root of Jesse. You have to be connected to him.

Yes. And he doesn't move. That's the essence of what we're doing in this Bible study. we're every day to become more tightly connected to the root because the root sustains the righteous nourishes the righteous holds on to the righteous he's jesus said no one will pluck you out of my hand no one no one will pluck you out of my hand on to his own. The righteous are unmoved

because our strength and our protection are grounding. Our stability is in Christ, not in ourselves. Adam Clark said the wicked cannot be established in their counsels or estates, but the righteous rooted in truth shall not be moved

by storm or trial. Charles Bridges says, the wicked man builds upon the sand and his house falls the righteous are rooted in christ and therefore immovable rooted in grace they endure unto glory mclaran the root hidden below is the strength of the trees above the life of the righteous nourished unseen in god stands unmoved when storms beat verse four a virtuous woman is a crown to her husband but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones just in case you thought he was only talking about the guys yeah to this point guess what lady you're up yeah you're up now the septuagint well world english bible says worthy woman is the crown of her husband

but a disgraceful wife is as rottenness in his bones. Not her bones, in his bones. Yes. The Septuagint says, A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband. Wait to hear this, Doc. But as a worm in wood, so a bad woman destroys her husband.

She's like a termite. Yeah. And what does a termite do? destroys eats away eats away on the inside of the tree and then it falls wow the the pashita

a valiant wife is the crown of her husband and as a boring warm and a worm in wood the woman that does evil things destroys a husband so I think you got the septuagent and the pashita which is arabic and i think these two translations are the closest to the true word of god it is comparing um there's there's a virtuous wife who is a crown a crown he's wearing his wife upon his head

saying look at my crown but there's another type of wife who's a parasite a worm a boring worm boring deep inside his his inner man and eventually destroys the man

as rottenness in his bones a worm that gets inside the bone it's strong I've never really saw this one doc I've read it before but I've really never paid attention to this proverb before

so let's start with the virtuous strong, noble, excellent and character industrious, faithful, godly fits in with her husband's plans, honors her husband. She's called a crown.

She brings honor and dignity and joy to her husband. And her quiet, meek, godly behavior and demeanor adorns her husband publicly. It enhances his reputation. His reputation is enhanced by the woman he's married to. This is the virtuous woman. Her devotion to God gives her husband confidence in peace at home. the virtuous woman her diligence and her wisdom strengthen the family the family's prosperous

the family is harmonious the family is united it's coming from the virtuous wife she is her husband's true helper which is she's reflecting the divine design of marriage she is her husband's helpmate not his hellmate. A helpmate, not a hellmate. Wow. I've never heard that one before. That one's going to stick with me for a while. Doc, it's sad that in this modern society that we're in because of the attack on marriage

and families and men that so many young women today are adversarial towards their husbands. Because the culture, the coffee. the universities, the entertainment industry, all of it has implanted in them, you need to fight with your husband. You need to rule and dominate.

Right. And men are painted as worthless. Exactly. And so you have this conflict in marriages. What's one of the curses that was upon Eve? after her sin that her husband would rule over her and so women a lot of women are fighting that

they don't realize that that's eve inside of them that's the spirit of eve inside of them i am going to oppose my husband i am not going to cooperate with my husband i am going to cooperate with my husband i am to make his life miserable that's eve speaking through that woman so but so we're talking now so the virtuous woman proverbs 31 10 says she's precious far above rubies her influences is enduring she shapes the next generation why because her virtue reflects christ and he is the crown of the church and so christ is the crown of the church but the woman is the crown of her husband praise god but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones so the opposite is true a wife who acts and talks and behaves shamelessly undermines her husband just rot

him out from the inside make it ashamed the Hebrew word is bush It's spelled B-O-S-H in English, but it's pronounced boosh. And it means to make, to bring, to bring to cause, to put on shame, confusion, confounding, to delay, to frustrate, to act shame, to disappointing, to disappointing, to delay, to frustrate, to act shamefully, to disappoint. Yeah, there's the word, greatly disappointed. Yes. This kind of behavior can be expressed through different ways. It can be expressed through unfaithfulness.

It can be expressed to foolishness, pride, arrogance, rebellion, stubbornness, a lack of modesty, a lack of good manners, slandering her husband, opposition to her husband's plans. This is how it's manifested. At the heart of it, it is the spirit of Eve. He's God told Eve, your husband will rule over you. That was a curse.

Well, why was it a curse? I mean, you got these, You've got these other guys, you know, in a lot of fundamentalist churches say, well, the man is supposed to rule over the woman. No, that's not the way it was in the Garden of Eden. No, that's judgment. But because of sin, God said the man will rule over the woman. And what women are doing now is rebelling against that curse. Right.

so how do you stop it go back to the garden of eden eve was made to be adam's helpmate not his hellmate eve came from adam's side not his head and not his feet he wasn't she didn't come from his skull to him she didn't come from his feet for him to walk over her she came from his side to be at his side to be his helpmate his partner but the world system tells women you need to fight your husband yes you need to oppose your husband a woman that acts like this injures her husband's reputation and that brings disgrace upon the entire family the word says it's rottenness in his bones not in her bones but his he's causing her husband's bones to decay it means not so much the physical bones although it can manifest in in physical sickness what it really means is the bones represent

the skeleton that holds the person up and it says that that rebellious wife who brings shame to her husband is causing his the weakening of his moral skeleton his intellectual moral emotional skeleton that he can no longer walk and hold himself up he's rotting from the inside so just as as rottenness decays a person's body strength a shameful rebellious wife corrods her husband's moral strength is peace of mind she she saps his joy his confidence his strength it's done silently but steadily and her aim is i'm going to weaken this man until he collapses and think about what the boring worm and the termite does to the structure of a home for

instance right one day what purpose to bring it down yeah and to consume it and to bring it down one day you're living life like you always did and the next day a wall has collapsed because that worm that termite has bored into the foundation the walls of the home. Yes. And the whole house will come down unless you get rid of it. And the shame that's on the

husband is not only personal and private, but it's public. Right. You can't hide a house that's collapsed, can you? No. Now, this type of wife can be outwardly

fair, pleasing? This gets into the covert passive aggressive narcissists on the outside to the public oh what a wonderful person but in the house what a terrifying tyrant but they're able to conceal that's what a covert see covert secretly done in secret covert passive aggressive narcissus does she doesn't do it in public Because her true character would be seen, would be unveiled. She does her, she does her boring, her drilling, her boring of her husband's soul.

She does it in secret, in private. So instead of being her husband's crown, she becomes her husband's burden. so what this is saying is the wife either strengthens the marriage or destroys the marriage Matthew Henry says a virtuous woman is a crown to her husband adding dignity to him and making him appear honorable but she that maketh ashamed is a constant grief a rottenness to his bones she is not only his comfort but his crown but she that calls the shame whether by impurity or folly is rottenness an inward consuming affliction Alexander McLaren marriage is either a coronation or a martyrdom that's pretty strong a good a good wife is a crown a bad wife eats a

out life like rottenness in the bones. William Arnaut, the virtuous woman is her husband's strength and honor. The shameful woman is his weakness and decay. The one is a crown, the other a canker. No, a cancer. One is a crown, the other is a cancer. Now, it's Horton to use the word canker. This proverb teaches the influence of womanhood

in the home. The wife is either an honor or a disgrace, either a crown or a canker. That canker worm. Ooh. It can be hard for people to get this one out of your mind today. Well, Doc, we're over the hour, and I'm only at verse four. You're ready to go to five. I think I'll I'll just hold on and I'll save these for tomorrow okay all right I don't like holding people more than past the hour I'm very grateful but I think it's imposing on people so I want to be conscious I want to be uh sensitive to people's schedules amen and so we but we do appreciate you being here I mean the fact that more than 300 people

show up every day with us alive to study the Word of God together from around the world, says a lot. And we appreciate your faithfulness and your ability to be here. And not everyone can be here.
