0:30 I'd like to share the burden that is in my heart especially for the younger couples. [Music] because of that uh elder elderly couples don't no need to think that it's not for me the primary burden is for the younger 0:53 couples um Genesis chapter 22 Genesis chapter 22 promise Abraham The Lord gave a promise to Abraham in 1:12 Mount Mariah. Verse 17, later part 17, latter part. Your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies. A good promise. 1:40 In the Bible, both in the old covenant and in the new covenant, there are many promises and we need to believe those promises. Especially especially there are many promises in the book of Isaiah. What we see may be completely different 2:11 from what is promised on the Bible about our children. But we do not we do not believe in what we see. We believe in what we do not see. Okay? Abraham. God gave a promise to Abraham. your seed or your children shall possess 2:31 the gate of their enemies. In other words, Satan or enemies will not be able to overp prevail your children. Your children will not be 2:51 overpowered by world. [Music] They will inherit what God has kept for them. Yes. When did God give this promise? Genesis chapter 12. Not in Genesis 12. 3:10 At the mount Moriah. If this promise will have to be fulfilled in you and in me, I want to point out two things. First thing verse 3:29 [Music] 16 because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son. What does it mean? We should not 3:49 give importance to our children more than God. [Music] In our life, the first place is for God. If you love your children more than 4:06 God, this promise is not for you. That's the first thing. Second thing, Genesis 18, Genesis 18, verse 19, verse 19. What we need to do is this verse verse 4:29 19 verse 19 please read. For I have chosen him so that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice so that the Lord may bring upon Abraham what he has 4:45 spoken about him. Good verse that we read in verse 19. The Lord knew about Abraham. Abraham, God knew this about Abraham that whatever I tell Abraham, he will do it. When I tell him to go to Kenan 5:07 leaving his hometown, he will go. When I tell him, hey, don't get involved into the property dispute. Leave it to Lord. He will do it. When I tell him that you do not need 5:30 the wealth from Sodom or the goods from Sodom, he will do it. The Lord knew this very well about 5:49 Abraham that he is not a covetous man but he will love me. That is why God could call Abraham his friend. Paradise for paradise God kept the name 6:05 as Abraham's lap. Paradise. What is the name for paradise? Abraham's lap. Such a wealthy man. He had lot of gold and silver. But he did not possess 6:24 anything. His eyes were looking upon different place. Lord knew this about him. If I tell him to do something, he will do. If I tell him to send Ismael home, 6:43 he will do that. If I tell him offer Isaac on the altar, he will do that. What a man. The Lord knew this about him. Not just that. Verse 19. He will 7:01 command that he may command his children. What he will command? No. Do righteousness and justice. Keep the way of the Lord. We read that the way of the Lord 7:22 doing righteousness and justice. We don't know where he had done that. Where he has done that we do not know. He would have demoed it from his own [Music] 7:54 life. There were no commandments to point out to the children. Go to Leviticus or numbers. All of it was from his own life. He showed or demoed God's righteousness through his life. Two things like I pointed out two things. 8:17 First thing we should not love our children above God. For that I'll mention an example. I mean I mean I mean it I meant it. When I say many I mean it many. There are people who love their 8:38 children above God. That is why this promise is not fulfilled in their lives. 1819. What is chapter 18 verse 18? The second part to it is Genesis chapter 18 verse 19. How did Abraham teach the way of the 9:05 Lord doing righteousness and justice through his life? I'd like to show you a few things about that new old testament. Let us meditate this old covenant man in the light of the new covenant. Genesis 9:23 chapter 23. Genesis chapter 23. Um mother Sarah died. Isaac's mother Sarah died. Chapter 23. Chapter 23. 127. Sarah was 127 years old. 9:46 Okay. Abraham may be 10 years elder to Sarah. Abraham. Abraham was a 130 year old 10:01 man. Sarah died. Now they have to bury Sarah. In the place they were living. Verse three. Abraham rose from before his uh debt and 10:19 spoke to the sons of Heath saying, "I'm a stranger, a sojourer among you. Give me a burial site among you that may that I may bury my dead out of my sight." Verse five, verse six, "Hear us, my lord. 10:37 You're a mighty prince among us." And they said, they did not refuse. They gave the land. [Music] If Sarah was 127 years old, then Isaac was 37 years 10:57 old. Isaac was 37 years old. He wasn't married still. Now they have to bury this body. old man one 37 years old Abraham and 37y old 11:23 his son Isaac they were talking about where to bury okay verse seven verse seven see Abraham so Abraham rose and bowed to the people of the land the sons of See, can you see Abraham's life 11:46 there? 137 years old, old old man. 137 years old. What did he see? He rose and bowed to the 12:07 people again in verse 12. Abraham bowed before the people of the land. The Bible is saying afterwards in Leviticus we read about that you respect the elderly people they 12:29 bow down before the gay-headed men all of that we read that in Leviticus that law is not at written now his dad Abraham demote something to Isaac Yes beloved, this is how we have to 12:47 teach our children. They should see our life respect. Our children should see that we respect elders. Not just elders, we respect everyone. Our children should 13:07 see that especially sisters, wives, we read that sisters or wives give the respect that is due to your husband in Tamil it's beautifully 13:30 written as reverence reverence have reverence towards your husband In the next chapter we read that children should respect their parents. How can we expect this from our children? 13:54 Authorities without demoing this to our children about respecting elderly people, respecting others, respecting everyone. How can we expect that from our children? See a man is demonstrating from his life. Respect all men fear fear 14:13 God. Later we read that respect all men and fear God. Isaac Isaac saw that a 130y old man old man getting up rose up and bowed 14:30 down. Yes beloved in this area we need to be an example to our children speaking without respect the place of 14:48 work in the place where we live our neighborhood maybe in things in church our parents should be an example people to our children. Okay? We read the second thing there also. What happened 15:08 there? No. No. And the the people said take this land for free. They said take it for free of cost. You don't need to pay to bury 15:26 Sarah here. What did Abraham [Music] say? I will give the price of the field and accept it. Verse 13. Verse 13. Later part. I will give the price of the 15:47 field. Accept it from me. That I may bury my dead there. Okay. Okay. Then Ephra answered Abraham, saying, "My Lord, listen to me. A piece 16:06 of land worth 400 sickles of silver." See another thing that his son could see from his dad's life. What would Isaac tell about his 16:30 father? My daddy will not receive anything for free. He will never take advantage of others. Today on the other hand we have children who see their parents like this. So 17:01 the their response would be that if they get something for free, my dad, my parents would be the first one to be receiving. That's not the picture that 17:18 should that we should give our children. Recently I heard of something A child was [Music] born. Now the the daughter has the wife 17:39 has gone into her parents' house and they're coming back after the delivery. first delivery. After the first delivery, she's coming back. The boy's mother gold chain. The 18:03 boy's mother's expectation is that when they come back they should the girl side should give two um pound red shot the gold chain and send it with the baby shame it's a shameful 18:27 thing it's a shame to Christianity and faith They were demanding that they should send gold with the baby. Then the promise of that they will overcome the enemies is not for 18:46 us. There is covetousness there. The baby is coming with you know with the mother she she she should come back with something. expectations. Some have this expectation 19:06 and there's a constant demand. Free. No, no, no, no, no, no. See the man here. If when they said take it for free, he said no, I won't bury if it's free. Take the 400 shekels of silver, 19:27 then I will bury. Even in this aspect we should be a good example to our children. My parents are not behind money. They are not the one who will 19:47 take advantage. My parents will not be expecting would they get it from here would they get it from there. brother-in-law. They will not expect whether things will come from mother-in-law's house, brother-in-law's 20:06 house. Uh spirits, demanding spirit, demonic spirits, such demanding spirit or demonic spirits. Okay. One more thing, one more thing. All of that he demonstrated from his own life. Our children when they grow up they will 20:26 have to overcome the enemy's gates or Satan. They will have to bring Satan under their feet. They will have to overcome the world. Yes. In the principles. We need to give this principle to our children. Daddy, 20:43 mommy. My parents are not behind money. Okay. One more thing. Another thing. Genesis chapter 20. Genesis chapter 20. See how he demonstrated from his life. Genesis chapter 20. Genesis chapter 20 21:00 verse 11 verse 11. Abraham knew very well what sort of place that they were living. Verse 11. Verse 11. Abraham. Abraham knew that there's 21:18 no fear of God in that place. What this verse was relating to sexual immoralities? This verse related to sexual immorality. So when there is so much of sexual 21:37 immorality Abraham knew that very well. He has gone through that not once but twice they have hijacked Sarah in that situation. How should he 21:58 bring up his child full of evil sexual immoralities in midst of the place where we live that there is so much of sexual immorality. How should I protect my child? The father have taught his child so 22:17 much. The result of his teaching Genesis chapter 24. We can read the result of his teaching in Genesis 24. Genesis chapter 24. Genesis chapter 24 verse 63. Verse 63. Isaac. Isaac went out to meditate in the 22:40 field toward evening. What a good child he was. In the evening time, morning hours, what was he doing in the morning? He would have helped his father's business. Abraham was very 23:02 strict. On his company, there were about 318 people. Abraham and Co. Abraham and Co. company Abraham and Co. That's that's the name of his company. Abraham and Co. Export all exports. They export 23:20 wool. How many people are working on this? 3:18 go when the company was, you know, working so tirelessly. I don't think 23:38 Abraham's son Isaac could have sat in a corner and eating food. He would have definitely worked and helped his dad. Morning hours full busy with the dad's business. Morning hours. He's fully busy with dad's business. What was he doing in the evening? Praise 23:54 the Lord. Praise the Lord. He was meditating on the field. Daddy because he has seen his dad doing that. He's saying how daddy is busy during the daytime. 24:21 Evening father Abraham Isaac had seen his father working hard during the daytime with the sheep and the employees and in the evening how he would go to meditate about the Lord. Yes beloved, our children should see this from 24:40 us that devotion towards God. Our children should see see it in us. Now, now whether we are you know we are hunger after God's word or whether we are in prayer the children should see 24:58 that from us like to show a verse from Job and come back. Job chapter 15. Job 15. If there is no fear of God, one 25:17 mark, there's one mark of, you know, when there is no fear of God. Job chapter 15. Job 15 verse four. Verse four, please. Indeed, you do away with the reverence and hinder meditation before [Music] 25:50 God. What will hinder our meditation towards God, our prayer towards God, dependence towards God when there is no reverence for God? Now quantity quality I'm not talking about quantity but quality 26:14 hours 10 hours you know in today's world the they have to work for 10 hours 12 hours and work hard so I'm not talking about the quantity but the quality 26:29 Majority majority of the maximum Christians many Christians or majority of Christians have learned to live a life without prayer. There's no prayer. They think that they can somehow 26:54 manage with the knowledge that they have because of the messages that they've heard. They've acquired knowledge but they need strength. Jesus is our example here. When we don't cry out unto the 27:14 Lord for grace and power, we will not be able to receive strength. Quantity the quantity may be less. There should be a constant cry in our innermost being fear of God. When they don't have the fear of 27:37 God, what is the mark that they don't have fear of God? Their pray prayer and meditation will all become less and less and less. Daddy is saw that in his dad. The devotion, the prayer time, quiet 27:56 time. Isaac has learned the devotion to God, his prayer and meditation from his dad Abraham. What is the resultage fatherage time would have been engaged with the father's business even in the evening went to the field to meditate in 28:22 the evening contrast in contrast there's another character in the Bible On the other hand, there's some some 28:45 character was contrast to what Isaac did. She would go in the evening to meet the friends to meet the friends in the world. What was his dad doing? What was Jacob doing? He was focusing on his business. Abraham, he was not like 29:12 Abraham. The result was that Dina was went around roaming the the place and she was defiled. So Abraham because he feared God, he 29:31 could teach his children, his child about meditating and praying. He did not let his son join with unbelievers. engaged with evening free [Music] 29:50 time, family, fellowship, business during the day, yes, work hard, but evening when it's free, it's about meditating on God and fellowship. Okay, one more thing, prayer, another thing that Abraham taught from 30:08 Genesis chapter 22. Genesis chapter 22, God of provision. He had taught his child that God is a God of provision. Yes. We should teach that to our children. In many situations, our 30:25 children, God of provision, we should teach our children that our God is a God of provision. Um and Abraham taught it from his life college final 30:49 campus. When I see people in the final year, they get placed uh during the campus placemental. Good talented children get placed in good companies. There is a situation that our children 31:12 are not placed in a company during campus placement or there may be a situation where they do not get a good job or they may not be able to get into a good college for good admission. 31:30 Age 28, 20 and 30 31 marriage or they are waiting for marriage but the age is just going on 28 9 30 in all such situations what shall we say see that Abraham taught his 31:50 child verse seven and he said behold the fire and the wood but where is the lamp for the burnt offering Verse eight, Abraham said, "God will provide for himself the 32:10 lamb. God will take care. God will take care. We have three more days. We have three more days." Sometimes, you know, one of my sons would ask to pay the semester fees. 32:29 [Laughter] How many days do you have? Three days. Three days. Three days. Daddy. Three days. He will say that it's only three days. Daddy. Three days. Oh, we have three 32:46 days. Why are you worried? God will provide. Will God provide? Yes, he will. Yes. That is how we need to teach our children in practical 33:05 situations. Daddy in this situation we I had just have three more days here. They just had three days. God will take care. Don't be. We are just in the valley. We need to climb the mountain. When we go there, we will find 33:22 out. Some are sitting in the valley and looking for answers. For that we need to climb up the mountain. That's where the answer will come. That's where God's provision will be. God has already prepared a provision 33:42 and kept there. But it's hidden. In his time and in his place, it will be given. So we should teach our children faith. Oh all that God will take care. Yes. As God provided. Yes indeed. After 34:04 three days. See how Isaac's faith would have been established when all of it was over. There was a ram which got stuck. So he would have thought to himself and 34:29 said to himself, "My daddy set right there in the valley that you would find it that God would provide." See, God has provided now. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. There was no teaching. Everything was demonstration from his life. the God 34:46 of provision. From his life, he demonstrated that God is a God of provision. Not just that, one more lesson. One more lesson. Obedience. Obedience. See, so much of conversation would have happened between the father 35:04 and son. [Music] Daddy, no. When he had prepared the altar, Isa could have asked, "What are you doing, Dad?" See, three days back, the Lord told 35:24 me, "I need to sacrifice you, daddy, what are you saying?" But did really God tell you to sacrifice me? You would have told to 35:42 sacrifice a ram or a goat or a oxen. My dear son, my dear son, Lord told it was you that I need a sacrifice. You would have asked is mommy aware of this? I didn't inform my your mom. 36:01 Daddy, daddy, perhaps you're wrong. All the matter you're right, Daddy, but in this matter, I don't think you're right. You're wrong, Dad. Will anyone sacrifice a son? Will God say like 36:17 that? No. The Lord spoke to me. So, daddy, now I'm going to ask you a question. Daddy, you taught me that through me that our generation will be like the stars on the 36:36 sky. If you kill me, what will happen now? See the reasoning. See the reasoning conversation. I I imagine this is how the conversation went on in Mariah. I'm not just uh you know making 36:51 up a story. Hebrews 11. See Hebrews 11. See the conversation between dad and son in Hebrews 11. The Holy Spirit has written it. Hebrews chapter 11. Hebrews 11 verse 17. Verse 17. 37:10 By faith Abraham when he was tested offered up Isaac and he who had received the promises was offering up his only begotten son. H 1819 and it was he to whom it was said in Isaac your descendant shall be called. He 37:28 considered that God is able to raise people even from debt for which he has also received him back as a type. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Dad conversation. This was dad's son conversation out there. Isaac would have asked him a 37:49 young person. Abraham would have told him no. God who has promised is faithful. He will definitely fulfill that. If he is asking me to offer you, 38:10 sacrifice you. He's able to raise you up from dead and he is faithful to fulfill his promise. youngsters dad's faith is 38:34 okay. All the youngsters are sitting up there in the first floor. Today they have so many questions or logical questions or reasoning 2025. What would 2025 Isix would have 38:53 done? You do your work. What is this? 2025 Isaac would have asked his dad like 39:17 that no now you will make me lie down then you will kill me then I'll be dead then God will raise me then God will make me you know like um like the multitudes of stars should I believe all this story I can't do 39:34 that my son then Abraham has been pleading my son please please come and lie Isaac just obeyed. Where did he learn that obedience 39:52 from? He saw that and he learned it from his dad and mom. Especially dear sisters, especially dear sisters. Isaac had observed how much Sarah obeyed Abraham. She did not fear any 40:14 evil. In all matters, she submitted to the husband. That same spirit is now coming to the son. There are two people. Abraham had two people. Abraham had Isma and Isaac. submitting spirit that Isaac had, the 40:38 spirit of submission came through Sarah. The Ismael spirit came from Hagar, rebellion and making, scoffing others, running away from home, all of 40:57 that from Hagar. If Hagar had that spirit, Ismael will have the same spirit. My Lord, if Sarah had that spirit, my Lord, 41:15 such a reverent spirit towards Abraham, Isaac would definitely get up and lie down. So what a great responsibility we have. What is the promise that we saw in the beginning? Your children shall possess the gate of 41:32 their enemies. If that has to be true, if Satan will have to come under our children's feet. Yes. Yes. Parents, children will have to come into a spirit of submission and obedience. 41:49 The parents should show that. Yes. The husbands should show the spirit of obedience in the place of work. In church, they should demonstrate authority. Wherever there is authority and those who are all submitting to that 42:09 [Music] authority, such ones only can exercise authority on others. Should do we want to exercise authority over our children? My dear son, my dear son, get up and lie down. And he should lie 42:26 down. He has to obey that authority. When can he exercise that authority? Abraham. Abraham had obeyed the higher authority over him. Sarah had submitted to the authority of the husband. Yes. Obedience. 42:46 Yes, beloved. Obedience is such an important matter. obedience unto death. This is obedience unto death. But he he was he was he he was not dying. He went to the point of dying. So daddy all of 43:08 this parents demoted it to Isaac. Okay. One more thing. One more thing. Sixth thing, you can meditate the Bible. You can get much more light. Genesis chapter 26. Genesis chapter 26. 43:25 Isaac quarrel. Isaac never quarreled. Abraham Genesis chapter 26. Isaac Genesis 26. people of Gar, they were jealous and the 43:52 well that Isaac dug, they closed it up. Verse 19 was verse 19. Genesis 26 verse uh 19. Genesis 26:1 19h But when Isaac's servant dug in the valley and found there was there a well of flowing water the headsman of Ger quarreled with the 44:12 headsman of Isaac saying the water is ours. So he named the well EC the headsman of Ger were wise. If you have a map in your Bible 44:38 and you see where Ga is, it was just a desert. To find water or a flowing well is not an easy thing. You should have money and people. If you have that, you can do that. Okay. 44:57 You were rich man. Isaac, rich man. Isaac was a rich man. He had money and people to work. Okay. So they were digging digging a well. The headsman did not come back then. 45:14 They will come and see. Oh, oh, how many feet have you dug the well? 100 ft. Dig it well. The water will come. Now, how many feet? 300 ft. Dig well. Do well. The water will 45:34 come. They can take advantage of it. They were, you know, watching and then encouraging him. See the moment they found that the there is a flowing water immediately they 45:55 quarreled the water is ours. You have to vacate this place. Oh when they began to do the work they could have come and stopped it. When they began the work, they did not stop. See how crafty and cunning they 46:19 were that they were waiting for the water to come and chase them away. Okay, dad spirit that he had. Don't quarrel. Leave. Daddy spirit. Genesis chapter 13. Where do we see the dad spirit in Genesis chapter 13? 46:37 He did not quarrel. Isaac was not even born back then. He would have learned that story about his dad from mother's mother. Mommy uncle. Mommy. What is the story about 46:55 our uncle Lot? Oh yes. We had a partition. Uncle Lord, Uncle Lord chose this place. Mommy, what were we left 47:12 with? Oh, this desert, it's us. Can children learn such stories from us? Yeah. Or the story is the other way around that Lord took away everything from us. 47:32 Some are telling stories like that. Isaac was not even born back then. Mother Isaac learned all that story from Sarah. But dad would have told him. Yeah, there was 47:51 issue. So I left it without quarreling. He chose the sodom and went there. Okay. Oh daddy. Oh my dad will not quarrel. That's what he learned. For property business, for 48:10 business for whom? For silver, gold, money. My dad will not fight. He will give it up. Yes. Our children should have seen that. If they do not see that at home, 48:31 if and they hear so much of teaching in the pullpit, nothing will work out in this. You should demo it to our children first. Be an example. Our life should be the first example for 48:49 them that they do not despise you. Be an example. We should be examples in all this area to them. [Music] We are not talking with the children. Our children are watching us, observing 49:07 us. Even for small petty things, my dad would argue and fight. We may be staying in a house, maybe a rented house. The electric bill may fluctuate. Some things we may have to 49:25 repair in that house. We we may have a lease or a bond or everything may be written properly. You may be lawful. You and me may be lawful. We may be standing on the right side or we may be lawful. Yes, Holy 49:44 Spirit. But the Holy Spirit will speak to us. Yes, you are right. Seek the profitable things. Don't fight with them. Okay? Oh, this may come up to 1,000 rupees 1,500 rupees. You spend it. 50:04 Okay. 300 400 rupees extra. Don't argue with them. You do it. Don't fight with them for 300 rupees, 400 rupees for this paper money. Don't fight for property. Who taught Isaac this? New 50:25 covenant truths. Old covenant man. All the new covenant truths. See the old covenant man demoed it to his son. What is the result? They dug the well. They had to 50:45 spend so much but they took away the complete well. Okay. Next. Next. Again they dug another well. They quarrel there as well. He left there as beloved. So [Music] um the are all the lessons that Abraham 51:13 taught his child, his children that you need to uh walk in the way of righteousness and justice and how to follow the Lord. Okay. One more thing. One more thing. Another beautiful truth. Hebrews chapter 11. Hebrews 11. Daddy. Isaac could have asked his dad 51:36 like this. Dad, why are you always staying in a tent? Why can't we build a house? We are doing big business 51:53 now. We have 318 in our company. You are such a rich man. Dad, why can't we build a house? Why are we always staying in tents? Isaac may have asked him. For that he taught. Hebrews chapter 52:11 11. Hebrews 11. So value system. See the value system that he had passed on to his son. Verse 9. Verse 9. By faith he lived as an alien in the 52:29 land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow hairs of the same promise. All of them were dwelling in 52:45 tents. Verse 10. Verse 10. For he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. Praise the Lord. Verse 13. Verse 13. All this dead in 53:03 faith without receiving the promises, but having seen them, having welcomed them from a distance. Oh, and do do uh read it. Read that verse. and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on this on the earth. All those they died in 53:27 faith. Jesus taught this verse to us. Our kingdom is not of this world. Yes. We may have things on this earth. We may possess we may have things silver, gold, vehicles, own houses. We may have silver, gold or 53:45 vehicle own house. You don't need to follow Abraham literally and stay in a tent. He had everything but he wasn't possessing them. What did he confess? He confessed that he was a 54:03 stranger and exiled. He was always looking for the city. perished and that's why God when he 54:27 looked at Abraham's life though you are rich you are always looking for the city that was high up there city which has foundation and architect is God so I'm going to name that city based according to your name Abraham's lamp 54:45 so that is how he died on this world and lived on this world and the same spirit He showed it to his son. Okay. Now, Hebrews chapter 22. Now, let's turn to Hebrew, sorry, Genesis chapter 22. 55:03 22 1819. I'd like to show 18:19 189. I have chosen him so that he may 55:21 command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice. Okay. There may be so many other things that we have meditated that he would 55:40 have taught his children. Okay. Number one, he was faithful in that only teaching. Not just teaching, he demonstrated from his life. Okay. Then Genesis chapter 22. Again, Genesis 22. Okay. Now he was slowly turning towards his 55:59 son. God said, you know, affection started. God had to say beloved son which means he had to slowly lean towards Isaac and not towards 56:18 God. God said it's not good. Okay. And when God said leave it on the altar, he proved that as well. Lord, you are first place in my life. I will not give preference to my 56:38 wife or children. this property of the earth, earthly things doesn't matter to me. You are primary for me. I will leave myself on the altar. Thanks Lord. Now I know that you fear 57:01 me. God showed the provision, the sacrifice and coming from the mount. Verse 17. Then the Lord is promising your seed shall possess the gates of their enemies. Yes, we meditated a few things here and 57:31 there of how Abraham demonstrated this life to his son, teaching faith, teaching obedience, meditating and praying, not quarreling, respecting others, 57:54 not seeking advantage stumbling block. Let us get light on all these things and may we never be a stumbling block to our children. May God help each one of us. Amen. Amen.
