Hey everybody. Welcome back to another edition of the Daily Bible Podcast. What's up Chris? Hello. We are back, three of us again here in office and I know Pastor Mark that the end of Mark you are particularly passionate about. You weren't here to record it with us, so I didn't know if you had anything else you wanted to chime in on the end of the gospel of Mark there. I love the ending of Mark. Because it is so brutal. Yeah. It's brutal. Unless you are convictional, that extra little bit there should be there if you believe what it ought to be, which is that, it just ends on that note of I don't know, complete unknown. Yeah, it really is. It is a brutal ending. But I love that because what does it do? It prompts you as the reader to say. How does that reflect on my life? What do I do with these things? How do I respond to Jesus? And I think that's beautiful. Yeah. I think that's beautiful. Well, that's good, man. That's helpful. Well, we're glad you weighed in. I thought about you. 'cause I was like, I know he likes this ending. And yet. It we recorded on Saturday, so you weren't in with us on that one. But we did get a question from a new dad who, when you're a new dad, you tend to have some pride towards your newborn child that you have. And you look at the child and you're like, you're perfect and you'll never sin ever. And this is gonna be great and fantastic. So he wrote in and he said, are you proud of your kids? If so, what's the distinction between this kind of pride and the cine pride? Or is there not a distinction? And then he says, similarly, are you proud of your work, proud of your church, proud of your accomplishments, your wives, your degrees? He says, I just heard Mr. Rogers saying I'm proud of you and I hope you're proud of you too. And he said, I'm not sure how to feel about everyone's favorite neighbor. So that's the question. Well, you said it too. Remember you said, I'm proud of you, Josh. So I thought he was riffing off of the back of what you said previously. So Mr. Rogers says it. Yeah. Pastor PJ says it. Yeah. How does the Bible feel about all that? Yeah, Paul says it multiple times. In the New Testament. He's careful to say we're not gonna boast into any man in the sense of a sinful boasting, but he also says things like, in Second Thessalonians one, four, therefore we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God. there's another text where he says my pride is in you. Yeah. Second Corinthians seven, four. I'm acting with great boldness towards you. I have great pride. In you. So I don't think the feeling of being proud of one's children or proud of one's work or proud of one's as he lists a few other options there, I don't think it's inherently sinful so long as our pride leads us to exalt God or worship God because of what we see in that person that we are proud of. So when I'm proud of my kids, I'm proud of my kids because I see them walking after the Lord, and that causes me to be thankful to God for what God is doing in their life. I'm not proud of them saying, look at me. Look at what a great data I am and how great they're turning out. Right now. But rather saying this is an opportunity for me to glorify God. So that's my take on it. I think there is a good pride that you can have in your children or in your spouse or in your church, and I think we see that from the Apostle Paul. I think that's exactly right. I think you're spot on. I think one way to think of it too is, what kind of thoughts do you have about your kids? Those will ref, those will reflect what your intention is. Are you looking at your kids and saying like, wow, they are so much better than little Timmy down the street. They're so much faster on the track team or they're walking way faster than. Poor little Susie who may not ever walk, what are those sort of thoughts that are running through your head as you think about your kids? Or are you giving God praise and Thanksgiving when they take their first step? Or when they do really great on a math test, what are you turning to as you think about your kids? That's gonna reveal the sort of pride that you have. And that'll also, I think, be a clear distinction of what kind of pride is right and what is wrong. Yeah, the only thing I would add to that is that there is clearly a pride that is wrong, and the scripture uses the same word to talk about both kinds of experiences. Paul says in one Corinthians 1531, I protest brothers by my pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus, our Lord. I die every day. So there is a way that you can use the word that is negative and it is sinful, but there's clearly a positive aspect of it. And I think that would just be the defining marker for us is asking, is this a sinful pride? And I suppose maybe it would be worth you guys quickly chiming in then what would sinful pride look like and how can you distinguish that when it's your pride over your boys or your girls or your church, even your staff. You said, you've said that to the staff before, pastor pj, I'm proud of you guys. You guys are finally doing things. I appreciate something like that. What would be a marker of a sinful pride in people? How do you know both of you guys? Yeah. I think sinful pride is gonna terminate in the self. And so it's about you, you feeling better about you, you feeling better about your accomplishments? You feeling better about the things or the people that you have surrounding yourself? If I'm proud of my athletic prowess, which I'm not by the way, 'cause I don't have much of any of that, but let's say I did in an alternate universe. Then I'm boasting in something that's about me. I'm seeking the glory. I want people to think better of me because of the thing that I'm saying I'm proud of. Rather than saying, man, I'm proud of the church because the church is really demonstrating what it is to be faithful followers of Christ. The church is being alike, causing people to look at the church and glorify God. And so God is the one that, that gets the ultimate glory through our pride there. So the sinful pride, I think, terminates on self, and I think a biblical pride terminates on God. Yeah. And to build on that, in agreement with that, I think what are the, what does the pride do? What actions flow from that pride, right? Are you, spending more and more money on your kids so that they can be better and better compared to everybody else in some sport, right? Or are you proud of their accomplishment and so you're spending time. With them and enjoying the accomplishment they've achieved. Right? That's really simple, but those sort of differences, although subtle, really do reflect the kind of pride that is in your heart. What are you doing with the pride that you have? What is the result of that? Pride will help distinguish what kind of pride it is, whether good or bad. Let's apply that then to this idea of being proud of yourself. Talk about that. Mr. Rogers said, I hope you're proud of yourself. And for some of us who have, worked hard at our job for 20 years, or, as a mom, you've put in a lot of effort and time and raising your kids. He gestured at me when he said, as a mom, I don't know. I gestured out loud to everybody. I have loud gestures there for everyone. Pastor Mark. Anybody at all if you're proud of so let's just say it's a good thing too. You put yourself through law school you paid all these money and you worked a part-time job, and you did full-time hustle and you got through law school. You passed the bar. Great. Is there room to be proud of yourself then? Is there a biblical place for that or is there a better way to talk about that? That you would say, well, I wouldn't say this, but here's something I would say instead. Pastor Peach, you talked about this on Sunday. You said something like, when people say nice things about you, you say, oh, no, no, not me, it's the Lord. Is that the same mentality here? Yeah, I was just thinking I don't believe that we find a place anywhere where, for example, Paul says, I'm proud of myself. I'm proud of how well I did. In fact, often Paul says, I'm not gonna boast. And he says if I have to boast, let me show you. Lemme tell you what I'm gonna boast about. And then he goes on to say, I'm gonna boast about my weaknesses. I'm gonna boast about the things that. That magnify the Lord in my life. And even later in Philippians, Philippians, Paul says if you want to compare resumes, if you want to see something that you should be proud of, here's mine. And he goes off and he says, I'm the Hebrew of Hebrew, of the tribe of Benjamin, so forth and so on. And then he gets to the end, he says, but all of this I count as rubbish in light of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus is my Lord. So what I see in the New Testament, at least from Paul. Is a continual deflection of anything that would be misconstrued as him glorifying himself. Rather he's gonna say, let me tell you about what God has done in and through me. Let me give God the glory through this. And I think that's the model that we should pursue as well. Paul says in Philippians two 16, I wanna be ho holding faceted the word of life so that in the day of Christ, I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. Does that change your mind at all? Would you be able to say, well, that's clearly evidence that you could use it in a positive sense? He says in one Corinthians nine 15, I'm looking at the same word and its connections here, one Corinthians nine 15. I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of my ground for boasting. But again, there he's not boasting himself. I think he's boasting and this is what God is doing in it through me. And I'm not denying that. Yeah I would say it is possible to do it. It is possible to do it, but I think you're right in suggesting that the way that we do this has to be christocentric. We want Christ to get the glory for the work that we do. I don't think there's anything wrong with saying, man, I'm proud that I was able to do that. And in the next breath, say, thank you, Lord. You gave me grace for this. You s you de supported me with people and finances and breath and the ability to think and produce this and that thing. I think it all does terminate on the Lord. But there's nothing wrong with honoring what God has done in you and through you. It makes me think of First Thessalonians one where Paul goes on and on and on about how great the church is, but again, he's turning. To immediate Thanksgiving, right? He talks about the good things that they've done, but he turns immediately to Thanksgiving. And so I do think that that should be our posture. I think in the American lingo and the way we use the word proud, or the way we use the word pride, it typically when it talks about ourselves, when we use that in our context of our immediate. Person that tends to indicate something that is not right, right. Sinful. But we can speak of it, of our kids and we can use that term. And it doesn't necessarily connotate that it is sinful or not. So I think some of it is a little bit of just the way that we as Americans use that word, pride. So we need to look at the Bible and I think. Maybe that reconciles some of the questions you guys were just talking about there. Yeah. I think part of my reticence is we are a very selfs, saturated culture, right? Self-care, self-help self, everything else. It's all about, self-esteem and in all of those things. And I think that seeps into the church a little bit. And that's what my reticence is to say that I would ever wanna say, man I'm so proud of what I've done here. Rather than saying, how can I make this about what God has done? And yeah, he used me Sure, and I'm the vessel for that. Great. But I don't think I would want to say, man I'm proud of myself for what I've done here. All right, let's jump into our daily Bible reading for today. We are in Deuteronomy chapter 31 and 32, chapter 31 of Deuteronomy. We find the transition from or the beginning of the transition from Joshua or from Moses to Joshua. Moses is 120 years old at this point, so you really get three stages of 40 years from Moses' life. You've got the first 40, which is when he's being raised there in Egypt, and then he kills a man in Egypt and has to flee. He goes to Midian, he's in Midian for 40 years before the Lord sends him back to free the people from Egypt. And then he's spending the last 40 years of his life in the wilderness leading the people of Israel through the wilderness, up to the banks of the Jordan River, but not. Himself eligible to enter the promised land. And so that's where we find in chapter 31. Somebody else is gonna do that. Who is that other person? It's going to be Joshua. But before he gets to Joshua, he reminds the Israelites of who the true leader is. And we find that in verse three, the Lord your God himself will go over before you. So Moses is going to lay hands on somebody else and say, this is your leader. Obey this guy. But nonetheless, he wants to make sure that the people understand the true leader of Israel, the true one that they need to follow. The one that's gonna go over before them is the same one that's been leading them the whole way, and that is the Lord that is Yahweh. And so after doing that, he then turns to commission Joshua in their site, which I think is so important because anytime you succeed a leader who has been around for a long time it's a hard job, right? We think of the death of John MacArthur recently, and we think of who's the next guy up. And I've heard other pastors before that. Are well known. And another pulpit say, I would never want that job because you've gotta follow that guy and it's always gonna be, well, that's not the way he did it. Well, here, Moses being able to commission Joshua in the side of the people of Israel, I think is removing a lot of that because the people are gonna be able to see Moses was behind this guy and so we should follow this guy too. But more importantly, they're gonna see God wants this guy to be the next leader for the people of Israel. Yeah. And one of the things that you see here is that God's work's gonna go on, the leader dies. The leader's gonna go to where God wants him to go, is gonna do and live as long as God wants him to live. But after the leader goes, and this is true for any church that's faithful, God's work will continue on. And that's what's so encouraging about this. I do love the fact that Moses instructed by God creates a succession plan. And I think it's so important. I don't know that it's. Always prudent to do that to have someone at the ready at all seasons of ministry life. But it certainly is prudent that God is saying, I want you to do the handoff. It's important that you pass the baton and for the sake of the people, to your point, this is essential for the people to say we rally around this next guy because our first guy gave the high five to the next one and said, this is my guy. Please follow him. Doesn't always work out well, but it is a good practice to be aware that this is how God thinks that the organization of Israel should work, and I think that's really important. I think that's an excellent point. So sometime before you turn 120 years old, pastor Peach. Oh, that would be, we'll figure out something. Could you imagine this guy living to one 20? I don't, I don't think I, yeah, I don't want to. How old do you want to live until, I don't know. I don't, my phone tells me, don't think you wanna live 20, like 39 years left. That's, that's what, yeah. But when that time comes, it's gonna be in the blink of an eye and you're gonna be like, Lord, just gimme a couple more years. No, that's true. I guess future generations and continuing ministry. That's fair. Yeah. You're gonna wanna see all of that. Yeah. Yeah. How about when Joshua's commissioned? It's not a super encouraging commissioning. Not at all. Whenever verse 16, the Lord said to Moses Hey, then this people, they're gonna rise and they're gonna go after foreign gods among them in the land that they're entering, and they're gonna forsake me. They're gonna break my covenant that I made with them. Then my anger will be kindled against them. So this is who Joshua gets to inherit. He's like, gee, thanks. Appreciate that and he keeps on saying, be strong and courageous. Joshua. Joshua. Really though, be strong and courageous. Please, just so you know, buddy, be strong and courageous. It's gonna be really hard. Well, it is gonna be hard, but it does prove the point that the courage that Joshua has to, has can't come from his success leading the people. Right. It has to come from. The Lord is God. Yeah. Right. Because if he's gonna be courageous, and he's also gonna know that these people are going to do nothing effectively that he will want them to do, that courage can't come from his success in that particular role. Amen to that. And I also, I love the fact that Moses, to help them remember, he's like, I'm gonna write you guys a. It's gonna be an Earworm and it's gonna be on the Israel's top five songs all year long. And then he is like, here, let me bust it out for you. He's like, it's like when ba PJ was quoting Eminem on in the sermon on Sunday. Mm. My palms are sweat is a revisionist history Mom's spaghetti. And I'm like, oh, pastor PJ is, those kinds of earworms are really helpful 'cause they're instructive. That's why in our kids' ministry. It's basically all music. Right? Well, and we'll interrupt it with a few minutes of teaching, but most of it is like music songs and hand gestures. It's not quite all music. We do a lot of music though, but we do it intentionally because? Because music has a way in the human mind. Yes. That is different and maybe more permanent in some ways Yeah. Than just a regular spoken word. Oh yeah. Like it, it really is. And it's hard to fully understand or explain, but it's a really important part of what we do in kids' ministry for that specific reason. Alright. I'm still mad that I got cars for kid in my head, like 1, 8, 7, 7 cars for kids. Well, and he even says that it's going to be that. 'cause in verse 21, he says, this song is gonna live unforgotten in the mouths of their offspring. So you called it an earworm. I had that written down in, in the margin of my Bible as well, and that's what you see. So as you read through chapter 32, this is going through and recalling a lot of the events of the history of Israel so that they'll remember these things in order to go, oh, wait a minute, I should stop. Which is a good reminder to us too, even as adults on Sunday mornings, we show up in for worship and we're singing these songs and we know a lot of the songs. And one of the things that's easy for us to do with songs that we know is to sing them without really considering and thinking about what we're singing. And that's the danger of an earworm, that's the danger of something that can get caught in your mind. That's the danger of something that can become so familiar that it just, it plays as soon as you wake up in the morning. If we're not thoughtful about the words that we're singing, then really it's not doing, it's not accomplishing its intended end. But we also need multiple types of reminders, which we also see throughout the story of the people of Israel. Right? Right. They have earworm songs like this, right? They have altars that they set up, right. There's different places, geographic locations, that are intended to remind them of this or that. Full factories. Yeah. And then there's obviously all of the law that has embedded in it, many reminders of these things, which. Obviously we're not the people of Israel, but we ought to structure our lives so that there's many ways throughout our days that we remember the truth about God in different ways. That's a great point. Earlier in the book of Deuteronomy chapter six, he's saying, look, as parents, your job is to saturate your life with it. As you walk on the way and as you talk and put it on your walls and put it everywhere it's a really helpful way for us as parents and even just as Christians, to think about the fact that I need my whole life to reinforce my most basic. And cherish commitments. And if I don't do that, it's not gonna happen naturally. The world is not designed to make me love and worship God better. It's designed to do the opposite. What a great point. Anything else from the Old Testament before we jump over to Luke Chapter one? I guess verse 35. Yeah. Verse 35, chapter 32. Here it says, vengeance is mine and recompense for the time when their foot shall slip for the day of their calamities at hand and their doom comes swiftly. Paul's gonna pick this up in Romans 12 and say, vengeance is mine, I'll repay as a Lord. So don't take vengeance yourself. The Lord is the one who is gonna be entrusted with that. He's the only one who can be trusted with that, who will execute perfectly. Our justice is short. Fleeting and we can't ever know that we're being precise in our just response, but God can. And so when it comes to our sense of justice, God understands that clearly. And he says, let me handle this. You're not equipped for this, but I am. I also just wanna point out verse 47, right? For it is no empty word for you, but your very life, and by this word, you shall live long in the land that you are going over. The Jordan to possess. I think we need to look at our Bibles. They have these few books right at this point in the history of Israel. But we have the whole Bible. We have the whole Bible and it needs to be our very life. We need to see our Bible reading day by day to be very much our very life in a similar way as Moses is calling the people of Israel to see their Bibles, preach it in order that we will live long and prosper. Yep. Start. If you want a Lamborghini point number one task mark, that really took a turn. That's not what my point was. Just to be clear, if there's any confusion, we're gonna clip that one. We're gonna just clip it. If you want a Lamborghini. Alright, let's jump over to Luke chapter one. Luke's gospel is set out in a unique way because the author of it, the who is Luke, sets out to write to this man named Theophilus to Sam. I'm writing to you an orderly account that's informed by eyewitnesses in order that you might have certainty about the things that you've been told. I love that with Luke, he's saying, look we're going to get down to bras, tacks. We're gonna find out for sure if you can really trust the things that you've heard about. And so this is this personal correspondence, I believe, between Luke and Theopolis. This is part one, at least acts as part two of this. And he says he gets these things from eyewitnesses. And so Luke is putting it out there saying if you've got a challenge to anything that's happened, this is, I'm going to primary sources. I'm gonna eyewitnesses on this. I'm not talking to somebody who talked to somebody who heard that this happened, but rather I'm getting this straight from the mouths of those that saw these things take place. So Luke's gospel is set up that way, and then we get right away into the foretelling of the birth of John the Baptist, which. I appreciate for a couple of reasons. Number one, just the timing of God. So Zechariah was on duty in the temple and was chosen to burn incense at this time. Now that would only happen for a priest once in his entire lifetime. And so that was the moment that God chose to meet with Zechariah through this angelic being that shows up to tell him you're going to have a son and that son's name is gonna be John and Zeer I meets him with. Unbelief and I put unbelief there because Mary's gonna also ask questions as we've talked about, I think before. But Mary is almost commended for her questioning, whereas Zacharia is disciplined. Because Zacharias is not a Lord. How can this be? But rather a really, seriously, this isn't gonna happen. How could this even happen? This isn't, this is impossible. And God meets him by saying, you know what? You're gonna be mute until the birth of your son, John. And then we read about the rest of it, which is really what is gonna take place in, in this situation. I think Zacharia and. Well, and his wife, Elizabeth, fill the place in the narrative arc that God does over and over throughout the Old Testament of the woman being barren. Mary isn't right. There's no indication that she's barren, but I think you see that here and you. In a similar way, see the questioning and the lack of faith and, excuse me, the lack of faith, and that I think is supposed to harken back and remind us of all the people who have come before who were like that and then we get something new. Mm-hmm. With Mary and Jesus. Right. There's something new and it's, I think it's supposed to say, show us in our minds like this is something different. This is something different than what's come before. Yeah. What a good point. And also I think what it shows us is that there is a way to, there is a way to talk to God and ask sincerely perplexing questions and not be chastised by him. For that. The Psalms give us lots of examples. The lament Psalms ask How long, oh Lord. I think that Psalm 13 and we have here how Zach arise, how is in some way, shape, or form based on God's read of his heart. A doubting kind of question that, that shows that he doesn't trust the Lord. Mm-hmm. He doesn't think the Lord can fulfill, whereas Mary's is clearly the opposite. One thing that I always love seeing that is, is just so fascinating to me, and it speaks to the way that God saves us, is the fact that John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother's womb. Verse 16, verse 15, rather says that from the. For, he will be great before the Lord. He must not drink wine or strong drink, which we think means that he had a Nazarite vow that was for life. That's probably what that means. This is some speculation that it could be something else. But it says here that he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. And then verse 17, that he will go before him, the Lord in the Spirit, in power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient to to the wisdom of the, just to make ready for the Lord a people prepared. I think it's fascinating that God saved John as far as I can tell. He re he regenerated him. In the belly of his mother. Yeah. Amazing. This is mind blowing to me, but it speaks to the fact that God does create real people in the womb. They're real people, even before they're outside the womb. It's just a matter of location. We don't call someone a non-human who's in Utah versus a human who's in Texas now. We have to respect that, and this is what the Bible tells us over and over again. These little people in mom on mom's womb are little people. They're just smaller and they're weaker and therefore worthy of our of our greater protection. But the second thing I would wanna point out here is that regeneration clearly is one of these mysterious operations of God where we don't know when or how, or why God does it. And I don't want to build a whole theology off of this and say, if you're saved or regenerated in the womb, like John, I would simply say though that this is a mysterious working of God. This is first and how we understand salvation to work. Regeneration is first, and then God makes it so that we can repent and put our faith in him. John is one of these rare and interesting exceptions. So would you hold open the possibility of somebody that. You are regenerated in the womb. Oh, yeah. I think that's what John's doing here. I think John's unique though on that. Yes, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. I think John is unique. Okay. Is what I'm saying. We shouldn't all expect that, but I. Clearly could not say it doesn't happen. Yeah. Yeah. 'cause we would say the normative practice is you're regenerated as part of the process of coming to faith in Christ. Sure. I don't pretend to know how that works. I just know that it regeneration would precede your conversion. Yes. Yeah. And I, for our listeners here who might be confused by that, would you mind explaining that one of y'all. One of you all people, yeah. Regeneration being born again. This is the question that Nicodemus asks Jesus. Jesus when Jesus says, unless a person is born again, he cannot enter heaven, and Nicodemus doesn't understand, and Jesus says He must be born by water in the spirit, born by water, we believe refraining to natural birth, but born by the spirit being spiritual birth. So you are brought from death to life. So Ephesians two. Dead in your trespassing and sins to made alive together with Christ. That's the process of regeneration, which yes, to Pastor Oz's point does happen before faith. You have to be born again before you can believe, because somebody who's dead can't put their trust in Jesus. That's called the Ordo Solus. If you're gonna look up in your theology textbooks about that and the ordo there's some disagreement about where those pieces fit. We believe that God has to make someone be born again, to be made alive in Christ before they're able to turn to put their trust in Christ, which will result in their conversion. They're converted from being dead to alive, to being safely secure in Christ. So when people ask, well, well, how's, how long can someone be regenerated before they're converted? And of course the definitive answer that Pastor Mark is gonna give us is, go ahead, pastor Mark. Definitive answer About one and a half seconds. One and a half seconds. Yeah, because he's measured it. Of course. I have put it in spreadsheet. Yes. Yes. Okay. The average number. Oh, it's not average. Oh, that is precisely, ask the exact number. Yeah. This introduces fun questions and they're short answers. We don't have all the answers to those questions, but it's interesting, nonetheless. Fair. I know we're running outta time. Yeah, but can I just throw No something in there. Yes. Throw somebody. Look at what is told to Zacharia and then go back and read Malachi three and four. That's all I'm gonna say. You want us to do that right now? No. No, no. Okay. Just everybody turn your Bibles over to Malachi chapter. Pastor Rod, will you please? I'm just saying there's, I think some of the reason to what we talked about earlier, why Zacharias is. Condemned for his response. Yeah. Is because of what he ought to have known. Oh. From Malachi? From Malachi and other places. 'cause there's some prophecy being fulfilled in the birth of John the Baptist. Indeed. Yep. Alright. You preached a sermon on Malachi? I did. You can go back and find that at our website. Yep. Just type in the word Malachi. Yeah. Well you gotta go to Compass n tx. Compass go to, I go to our websites majoring in the minors. That was the series. Even though I didn't preach all the minor profits, which I know you guys were major in most of the minors, I didn't say anything. You were just waiting to get there. I was thinking it, but I wasn't saying it. Majoring in 10 outta 12 miners I was practicing is what that one was about. Practicing self-control, self editing. Alright, let's pray and then we done. Lord, thanks for the the examples that we see in scripture that do cause us to be in awe of you. Like the birth of John the Baptist and the fact that he was in dwell by the spirit from his mother's womb. Or that is a mystery to us to even think about the act of regeneration and how that happens. And all of us who are in Christ know that it happened at some point in time in our lives. And we all know people who we are praying right now that you would cause it to take place in their life as well. So we would ask for that. We would ask that the gospel would take root, that their eyes would be open, that they would be able to see and understand their need for Christ, and that they would respond in repentance and faith to the truth of the gospel. Use us in whatever way. You see fit in that process. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen. We'll keep her in your Bibles tuning again tomorrow for another edition of the Daily Bible Podcast. Farewell. See you. Bye.
