May Truly Seeing Eyes Begin to Heal

May Truly Seeing Eyes Begin to Heal

Transcribed from the original recording; may contain errors.

You can tell a real Yankee by what he wears. Let’s just bow our heads and our hearts for a moment. Lord, I just pray that the things that are said tonight may worthily magnify Your wonderful name. And Lord, I thank You that You mean everything to me.

And to all of us. And to this move of God called CFO. I thank You for the wonderful people that through the years I’ve met in CFO. And this, coming to this camp, has been the same variety of experience. And I thank You for the minds and hearts and the spirit and the love that brings something like these few days about. And I thank You for their having invited me and my wife to come.

And I just thank You, Jesus, for this privilege to be here. And I pray that tonight I may worthily magnify Your holy name. I pray for every need that’s here and every need that we know about in this whole world. And I pray for Your soon coming, Jesus. And I pray for Your healing virtue to touch every person who has a need in this place. And I pray that if there’s anybody here that has any anger or any heartache or anything that they’ve brought along with them, that they need to give to You. Help them to just give that hurt or that sorrow or that anguish or that grief to You right now. And I thank You, Lord, for this healing time. And all of this, I pray in Jesus’ precious name. Amen. Amen and amen. Amen.

And I ask the Lord, “What should we sing in my little time of sometime singing?” And He said, “Well, there’s a song that I know that you know, and I think everybody would like to sing that one.” I said, “Well, Lord, they all know that song, and that’s just for children.” He said, “No, that’s for everybody.” And it goes… Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong. They are weak, but He is strong. Yes, He does love me. Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me. The Bible tells me so. La Biblia dice así.

I think I may have told you a little bit about a frontier doctor in Kentucky, shortly after the state came about. Dr. Ephraim McDowell, who had his training not only with a fellow physician in Virginia, but then he went over to Edinburgh, Scotland. And he had training there. He didn’t graduate as a graduate doctor from the University of Edinburgh, but he learned much there. And when he came back to the States, he eventually went to Danville, Kentucky. And there he was one time asked to go and see a woman who was supposedly ten months pregnant.

He thought, well, maybe she needed a caesarean section, but in those days they didn’t do such things. I don’t think there had ever been one done by that time in this side of the Atlantic. But he went out and saw her. And strangely enough, before he had left Edinburgh, he had seen a woman with a huge ovarian cyst. And it was a huge cyst within the abdominal cavity. And it was treated by simply making an incision in the lower abdomen and draining it.

But he must have thought, as he observed this procedure, that maybe it might be possible, instead of draining the cyst, to just mobilize it and bring it out and deliver the woman of that huge affliction. He told the people out there in the country, the family of Mrs. Crawford and the other people, the doctors involved and so forth, that he thought she wasn’t pregnant at all, but that she had a huge ovarian cyst.

And I’m not exactly sure of this, but somehow, it may have been on his horse or maybe someone else’s horse. She was popped up on the saddle of a horse and her tummy rested on the saddle horn. And he took her into Danville. It was just before Christmas. In fact, he determined to have the church, the Episcopal church in Danville praying for him on Christmas, which was, in 1809, was on a Sunday. And he was going to have her in his own home, I think in his own kitchen, anesthetized with something called Cherry Bounce, which we don’t know the formula of it now, but I can well imagine that they have it at the local bar. But it was a lot of alcohol. They didn’t have ether anesthesia in that time. That was almost 50 years later, here in the U.S. But he gave her Cherry Bounce to drink, and she sang hymns while he operated upon her. Of course, he didn’t have local anesthesia because that hadn’t even been invented yet.

So, before he began his procedure… Now, this is the first time this kind of operation had been done on this side of the Atlantic. In fact, they hadn’t even done it over there in England or Scotland, or probably not even on the continent. Imagine he’s out on the frontier in those days. Kentucky in those days was a far cry from what it is today. But in 1809, he prayed this: “Almighty God, be with me in this attendance in this holy hour. Give me becoming awe of Thy presence, and grant me Thy direction and aid. I beseech Thee that in confessing I may be humble and truly penitent in prayer, serious and devout in praises, grateful and sincere, and in hearing Thy word, attentive and willing and desirous to be instructed. Direct me, O God, in performing this operation, for I am but an instrument in Thy hands, and am but Thy servant, and yet, if it’s Thy will, O spare this poor afflicted woman. O give me the true faith in the atonement of Thy Son, Jesus Christ, and the love sufficient to procure Thy favor and blessing, that worshiping Thee in spirit and in truth, my services may be accepted through His all-sufficient merits.”

Imagine the first laparotomy, or in medicine we might call it the first celiotomy, done in America, was done in Danville, Kentucky, in 1809, and was preceded by prayer, and Dr. Molina, the only anesthesia used was cherry bounce, whatever that was. And I’m sure that there was someone there comforting her, and helping her, and praying for her, and so forth, through the operation. And there she was, singing every hymn that she knew. And Dr. McDowell made an incision in opening the peritoneal cavity, reached in and found that that cyst was free, as they often are. And he brought that whole thing out. I don’t know, maybe he had to deflate it a bit. But brought it out through the abdominal incision, and tied off the blood vessels that supplied it. And after appropriate drainage, of course they didn’t have suction devices or anything like that in those days. Imagine in his own kitchen, not in an operating room, because they had no operating rooms in those days.

And once the affliction had been eliminated, he sewed up, well, he tied off the bleeders with linen thread. He sewed up the tummy with interrupted linen thread sutures, and sewed up the skin the same way. And the story has it that the people were so upset, thinking that he was interfering with the pregnancy, and that no doubt the baby was not going to live. Of course, they didn’t believe in his diagnosis. I can imagine, Dr. Christopher, imagine the people waiting outside the operating room, that if you didn’t do just exactly what was predicted, they were going to probably string you up. And he had that fear, I think. We have lawyers now. I beg your pardon? We have lawyers now? We have lawyers now. Yes, well, they sort of swoop around, you know, around the roof, peeking in the windows. But anyhow, that was the first ovarotomy, removal of an ovarian cyst. And you might say the first laparotomy done on this side of the Atlantic, and may have been the first one done in the world, done on the frontier of America, by a person who began his operation with prayer. When I was aware, became aware of this, I thought, why don’t we have an arrangement of doctors in the United States, and perhaps across the world, that follow in his leadership?

And why don’t we begin our operations with prayer? And why don’t we have an annual award here in America, where we give a medal, and a certificate, and an honor, and a stipend, to a doctor who practices Christian medicine, in surgery, or in psychiatry, or in internal medicine, or in obstetrics, or some field of medicine, where he’s noted to be a person who stands for Jesus and His love. And so we started back in the early 1970s, in giving what we call the Ephraim McDowell Award. And it was so successful that shortly after that, we started giving an honor to a Canadian doctor each year, when we had our meeting up there, and we called it up there, the Sir William Osler Award. And he was a doctor who also, in Canada, was a person who was noted for standing for Christ. These are the kind of things that we should do in order to help and in order to honor those people who courageously stand for Christ in their life and in their practice, not only in medicine, but in other fields of endeavor. I just thought I’d share that with you tonight. There was a Dr. Lazar in Scotland, and when he heard that there was a doctor on the frontier in America that had done this kind of an operation, he attempted it on one of his patients, but the patient did not survive. I think that he did the operation five times, unsuccessfully over there.

And that was really the place where medicine was far in advance of any other place in the whole world. But imagine Dr. McDowell and Jesus did the procedure in Danville, Kentucky, not in some big center or anything, but on the kitchen table, with cherry bounce and singing of hymns. Dr. McDowell and Jesus did the procedure in the doctor’s office. You may think it’s strange, but I suppose there aren’t too many here. I know there are some nurses, and there are three doctors that I know of here.

But, you know, doctors often sing as they’re closing the incision. What are you going to do? All the ticklish part, the difficult part of the operation has been accomplished. And all you have to do is to sew things together that you’ve taken apart. And so what are you going to do? You have to do something, otherwise that lousy music they’re playing in the OR is coming in your room. So I sing. If I’m in a Spanish hospital, I sing.

Those poor girls in the OR, they’ve had to put up with me for so many years. But you know, if I don’t pray at the beginning of the procedure, say things are too ticklish, too difficult, and before you know it, you’ve got the scalpel in your hand, they will say to me either in English or in Spanish, “Aren’t you going to pray first, doctor?” And down in Guatemala, they’ve learned that when I operate, they’ll ask me if I’m going to pray. And I say, “No, we’re going to go ahead and pray. We’re going to pray right now.” We just simply ask Jesus to watch over us in that procedure. Well, that’s a little bit about me and some of the kind of stuff I have done.

I was thinking about other doctors. I think people are kind of interested in doctors. They’re a strange breed. I’ve studied them. Of course, the anesthesiologist up the head of the table, he has more time to study us than we have to study ourselves, I think. He has to put up with all the things that are happening in that OR, plus watching everything that’s happening to that patient physiologically. And I say this because there’s an anesthesiologist in our midst. But there was a doctor over in France who, when he was a senior student, along with other students, went out to Lourdes to see what happened out there at that shrine where it was known that people could be prayed for and immersed in the spring there at Lourdes. And many times have been healed. Alexis Carrel and his students went out, his other fellow students went out, and the person that he became interested in was a little nun who was lying on a stretcher.

And being sort of raised, you know, even back then there was a tendency for medicine to be somewhat secular and not particularly spiritual any more than it is today, I don’t suppose. But anyhow, he went up to her and said, “Sister, why did you allow these people to bring you out here?” And she said, “Where else could I go?” Well, I always thought that was a most interesting dialogue. And so he kind of stepped back and he contemplated that. And the bishop came out. He was the one who was doing the praying at that particular time. And he reached into the spring. He couldn’t immerse her in the spring. So he just took the waters of the spring and he poured the waters upon her abdomen because she had a huge swelling of her abdomen. And it was due to tuberculous peritonitis.

And as Dr. Carrel in his book, Voyage to Lourdes, wrote sometime later, he said, you know, as I stood there and watched, I saw that huge dilatation and swelling of the abdomen subside right then and there. And I asked Francis MacNutt when he came to Poland, when I was in Poland, and he had been in Lourdes, and I said, “Francis, did you happen to look at the history of people who had had miraculous healing at Lourdes?” And he said, yes, as a matter of fact, he did. It was amazing how many people that there were that were listed there that had proof that they had had wonderful healings at Lourdes. I said, “Well, were you able to determine if there was a little nun, probably in the late 1800s, who was prayed for by the bishop at Lourdes who had tuberculous peritonitis and was healed?” And he said, “Well, as a matter of fact, she is listed there as having been healed.” So anyhow, Alexis Carrel, from that time on, he began to have an orientation of his life toward Jesus. You know, that’s why we go to church. That’s why some people went to see the Passion of Christ. While people go to hear Billy Graham, Oral Roberts, people like that. People come to hear Lee and his evangelistic endeavors and so forth.

And there may be somebody there in the congregation who hears something and it fires their conscious mind and they think, oh, I’ve got to look that up. And I’ve got to think about turning my life and everything that I am and have been and want to be, turn my life over to Jesus. And that was happening to Alexis Carrel.

And, you know, the things that happen to you after you give your life to Christ will absolutely amaze you. I’m sure it must have amazed him along the way when he received an invitation to go to New York City and join what was called then the Flexner Institute, which eventually became the Rockefeller Institute. They asked him to come there to be a surgeon at the Flexner Institute in New York City.

He became, he was the first doctor to ever do an anastomosis of blood vessels surgically. At least that’s what he is honored for. But, and I thought that was wonderful. But he said this. He wrote a little tract called Prayer. And he was thinking about his profession. And he was thinking about the educated people. He was thinking about people that have a responsibility of one sort or another in life. And he wrote this in this little tract called Prayer: “The atrophy of the sense of the holy and of the moral sense reveals itself as harmful as the atrophy of the intelligence.” What he’s saying is it’s just as bad to never develop your life spiritually. It’s as bad as if you never tried to develop your life intellectually. In fact, the matter is, I think, in some, in many, many ways, it’s worse to not have a spiritual life.

It’s amazing to me how many people have not had very much in the way of education, but have gotten hold of Jesus and the Holy Spirit earlier, how God has used them in amazing ways in the history of our nation. And also of Britain and France and so forth. But anyhow, the atrophy… What atrophy means is a shrinking down of something. Say, for example, I have an injury of my hand, and it doesn’t have any neurologic function, and I can’t use it to exercise, and it just begins to kind of shrivel up. And that’s called atrophy. That could happen to muscles anywhere in your body. But imagine that you could have an atrophy of your sense of the holy, or you could have a shrinking down of your ability as you go along in life. If you’ve never opened your heart and your life to Jesus, it’s entirely possible that you may have a shrinking down of the capability of even being able to appreciate or understand the potential that you have for spirituality. That’s why we should lead our children to Jesus early. Last night when we were praying for people, the lovely girl that prayed with me when we were standing over here, one little boy came up, and his name was Steven.

And a darling little boy, I’m not exactly sure how old he is, I suppose maybe eight or ten, something like that. And my partner, my prayer partner said to him, “Have you asked Jesus to come into your heart and into your life?” And he said yes, he had. And he said he goes to Sunday school and he loves the Lord, and he reads God’s Word and all that. And she said, “Tim, have you ever been filled with the Holy Spirit?” Well, you know, being a rather conservative, well, at one time, conservative Episcopalian, I would certainly probably not have thought it was too sharp an idea to ask that little fellow if he’d been filled with the Holy Ghost. But as I was thinking about it, I remembered that when I was up in Michigan, there was a lady out in Midland, Michigan, near where I practiced, whose name was Mrs. Ludwig. And Mrs. Ludwig had come to one of our meetings, and God had filled her with the Holy Spirit. And she’d gone back and shared this information with her husband.

And, of course, if you have children are not excluded from the conversations in one’s home, bad or good. But it was wonderful that he was there listening to, imagine, four years old, listening to what Mother was saying to Daddy about being filled with the Holy Spirit. And so, within a few days, Mrs. Ludwig called one of my friends in Bay City and said, “You’ll be interested to know that our little boy came out this morning, and he said to me, his first words were, ‘Mama, me speak with tongues.’”

And she asked him to pray in the language that the Holy Spirit had given the little fellow, and he did have a spiritual language. Why should we think that a child would be unable to pray in the Spirit? So, at that point, I began to think that we should give our children, early on, the opportunity to get saved and to get filled with the Holy Spirit, and to pray in the Spirit, to sing in the Spirit, to be involved in our home worship, and so forth. And that’s sort of been the way that our home and our life has developed. I also want to share something about a Russian individual, not a doctor at this time, but a person who worked with sick folks and so forth, and wrote such books as Cancer Ward and things of that sort over there, at the time of the communist takeover of the Russian land, and made it into this so-called Soviet nation. He was in the army in World War II, and had been in the Russian forces that went into Germany and Austria.

And if you’ve ever read the Gulag Archipelago, the communist people that were running the government, like Lenin and Stalin and people like that, they thought that the troops that they had sent over into Germany and Austria were being contaminated by the people that were living under communism, under Christianity and so forth. So when they came back to Russia, instead of honoring them and having great parades and so forth, they were being taken over the country and so forth, they were being taken over the country. And that was what happened to Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Alexander Solzhenitsyn says in his writings that sometimes you can get closer to Jesus and closer to truth by lying on a cold, maybe even wet straw bed than you can by attending a university that doesn’t say anything about God or about spirituality or about the Bible or about anything having to do with Christ and His kingdom.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn came to the United States. Alexander Solzhenitsyn says in his writings, at that time he was a refugee in Zurich, Switzerland. But somehow he was invited to the United States and of all things he was asked to speak at Harvard University. I think, I don’t know exactly how they evaluated him, how he was invited to that particular university, because it certainly wasn’t noted for, oh, his evangelism, let’s say. And it isn’t yet to this day, although it’s improving, I might say. But here’s what he told the Harvard students in 1978. This was in the Tampa Tribulation, I mean Tampa Tribune paper.

I refuse to call the Tampa Tribune the Tampa Tribune because it’s just a dissertation on one type of tribulation after another. Probably a lot like your papers. But Solzhenitsyn said this: “There is a disaster which has already been underway for quite some time.” He’s talking about the world. “I’m referring to the calamity of the despiritualized and irreligious human consciousness. The despiritualized and irreligious human consciousness.” And I’m afraid that the way that things are going in our education system and even in our universities and so on, there’s a tendency for us to leave out anything to do with spirituality. And to leave anything out that has to do with religion.

When I went to the University of Michigan, I told you a little bit about this, but I applied for a job and wrote down my talents and so forth such as they were. I’m sure they weren’t much at that time. But I told them that I could play the violin. The next thing you know, I had a chance to go and try out for the University Symphony. And lo and behold, if I wasn’t accepted and I became a member of the University of Michigan Symphony Orchestra, receiving a gigantic salary of $12 a month. And my room, as I mentioned the other day, my room rate in my rooming house was $10 a month, so I had $2 to do with whatever I wanted. But anyhow, the Symphony Orchestra did its rehearsing on the second floor of a place called Lane Hall. And Lane Hall was the center of the Student Religious Association. And I would go into Lane Hall and try to see something going on there. This would have been in about 1939 and 40, 41. I tried to find out if there was anything religious going on in the Student Religious Foundation and in Lane Hall. Well, maybe they had meetings there sometime. I tried to look in the bulletin board and see where I could…

Maybe I could go as a Presbyterian youth and maybe learn something about Christ. But I don’t think that the building even exists anymore. I took my wife there to show her where we used to rehearse on the second floor, and that had been converted into a lecture hall. And as we stood in the back of the lecture that was being given was a lecture on communism. I don’t think that they were advocating communism, but it just seemed strange to me to think that they would even be talking about communism there. And I thought, surely, that they would be talking about the Lord or about something to do the students, the university students, some good. And to lead them in the proper direction.

Solzhenitsyn was under the impression that the problem, the big problem in the Soviet Union, was the fact that the people were forced to live under a lie. Capital L-I-E. And… Karol Wojtyla, the Pope who recently died, he said his motto was Veritatem Vasere in Caritate, which simply means in Latin, we must learn to live the truth in love. We must learn to live the truth in love. When I talked the first night, I said I was going to try to talk about life. And I don’t really think that there could be life on this planet or in this world without love. I think we have to have love. I think we have to have holiness. I think we have to have righteousness. We have to have the glory of God circulating through our being. We have to live and move and have our being in Jesus. We have to know that He is with us. I want to tell you in the middle of a big operation, and a lot of my operations were cancer surgery.

It is so great to know that Jesus is there in that operating room with you. I have a big painting in my office and it shows, well, me I suppose, a surgeon, and it shows the operating room, the scrub nurse here, the anesthetist at the end of the table, the circling nurse around there. And up above the operating table, there is Jesus, you know, and His hands. You have seen that picture, Peggy and Buggy.

It is as if the surgeon is saying, just cut it there. I mean, Jesus is saying to the surgeon, just cut it there or retract it there. That reminds me of something that I hadn’t intended to say, but this is the truth. One night I was operating on a fat little boy of about 14 for a very bad acute appendix. I suppose it must have been maybe 2 or 3 o’clock in the morning when we got the anesthesiologist there and got the OR crowned up to function and so forth, and I was like, I don’t know what you have to do. And so I went in there and I made the incision. I prayed. I made the incision in the right lower quadrant and went down through into the peritoneal cavity. And my assistant was a black fellow whom I loved, a really wonderful guy, whose name was Sharper. I suppose Sharper was even a little bit older than I was. And I would say, “Sharper, just take the retractor and pull it this way because I said I’m having difficulty in seeing the appendix.” “Yes, sir,” he’d say. And he’d pull the retractor a certain way. And I just couldn’t get a good visibility of that appendix to get down there and to ligate the thing and to cut it out of there.

And I said to the circuiting nurse, I said, “Isn’t it possible for there to be another assistant other than just Sharper here to have just one assistant on a difficult appendectomy like this? It just seems like a problem.” And with that, inside, I heard, it seemed like Jesus, “I’m here.” And I said, “Sharper, forget that.” I said, “I just heard from Jesus. And He’s here.” And I just took another pack and I just packed the intestines away. They’re always getting in the way and you pack them out of the way so you can get down there to the cecum. The cecum is the first part of the large bowel. That’s not English. It’s not “cecum and you shall find them.”

But it’s the first part of the large intestine. And I was able to get down there and to ligate the vessels of the mesentery and to clamp off that appendix and take the thing out of there. It was so… it was just so easy. And before that, it just seemed like nothing that I could do that would really allow that area to be visualized so that I could go ahead and operate safely. I didn’t need another assistant. I just needed to know that Jesus was there. And somehow down inside, I don’t hear voices. Don’t call them psychiatrists. Don’t call them psychiatrists. But it just seemed to me that the Lord was speaking to me. And in my professional career, 60 years in medicine, I’m sure that He talked to me practically all the time.

And I think it was Lee who said we need to learn to listen. Not just to pray, but to listen to what Jesus says. Amen. And He doesn’t speak ordinarily like a thunder out in the distance or nearby. But He speaks in a still, small voice. And He will tell you what to do. He’ll guide you and direct you. And He’ll encourage you and He’ll bless you.

Are you the kind of person who writes in His Bible? I do. And this is something that I wrote. This being a Scottish proverb. You’ll like that, Rob. It was sent to me recently. And it said simply this, “Life is short, and we don’t have much time to gladden the heart of those who travel with us. So, be quick to love, and make haste to be kind.” And the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit be among you and remain with you always. Amen. It made me proud to know that I’ve got Scottish blood circulating through me, my being.

There’s something in German. What would you think… How would you think in Germany they would define ethics? Well, they call it something called Tugendlehre. And Tugendlehre means learning. And Tugend means virtue. So, instead of calling it ethics, they call it Tugendlehre, which means the learning of virtue. And that’s what we all need to do. That’s why we need Jesus. He tells us what is true virtue. He tells us how our marriage can be happy. And the nice things that we can do for our wife, or the wife can do for the husband. And what you can do for your children, and what you can do for your home.

To have a Christian home. Of course, you all know this and so forth, but I’m just talking about me. We had such a wonderful existence. Simply because we consider Jesus in our life, and we were people who prayed. Not just before we went to bed, but we did a lot of praying. And my wife did a lot of reading of God’s Word.

I asked you to read up in the first chapter of Ephesians to find out what it said to me about the vision there. And you know, the minute I opened Ephesians up to the first chapter, bingo! I saw it immediately. The other night I couldn’t see it at all. But I’ll read the 17 and 18 verses of the first chapter. “I always pray to God, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation, of insight into mysteries and secrets in the deep and intimate knowledge of Him.” Then it says, “by having the eyes of your heart flooded with light.”

Imagine having your heart flooded with light so that you can know and understand the hope to which He’s called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints, His set-apart ones. Well, my wife is the one who told me that that was in there. I had read it. But isn’t it wonderful to have someone that you love who tells you to read something and to understand it? And marriage does that. At least, I think it does. And so, when I read that, I went and I wrote a poem. I’d suggest if Jesus blesses you through His word or something that happens to bless you, if you can do so, sit down with pencil and paper and write a poem. Because poems are spiritual things. They don’t just pour out of your gray matter up in your cerebrum, but they come from your heart. And I wrote this little thing called “Sight.”

See, you’re a captive audience, so you have to hear at least one of my poems. I didn’t give you any of them last night. But this little thing says, sight is more than just seeing with your eyes. True sight is seeing with the heart and soul. They’re emits from the eyes of healing power greater than the objects that strike the cones and the rods. You don’t know what that means, but those are the seeing that things are in the retina of your eyes. When man sees God, he comes to realize that seeing Him gives one a true, far greater role in understanding. May truly seeing eyes begin to heal us from this very hour. May I see God in every man with eyes that are not mine, but God’s. I want to say, isn’t it wonderful to see people with godly eyes? I see a beauty in people that, you know, if you’re just trying to see people with your cerebral cortex and with your ocular mechanisms, whatever that is, it’s not anything like seeing them with your heart. It’s almost like you fall in love with them, you know. But not in any erotic or brotherly love sense, but in an agape sense, in the kingdom of heaven sense, you see. May I see God in every man with eyes that are not mine, but God’s.

Without vision, the people perish. Without seeing God in everything, life is lifeless. Without love, no healing is accomplished. Love is seeing with the heart. Love is an enchantment which turns darkness into light. Love takes darkness from the darkest night and turns it into the brightness of a multicolored holy day. Let’s have a vision of heaven where our loved ones have so swiftly gone. Let us somehow see heaven here on earth, something we could make with Jesus’ help. Let us praise and thank God for His hope, His healing, His solace, His love, His amazing gift of sight. Chris, I haven’t seen you motion to your watch. Is it about time?

I just think people are coming in. When we see them coming in, it’s time to quit? Well, I don’t have really a lot more to say, but I’m trying and have tried in these few days to talk about life. I don’t really think we know enough about life and all the things that have to do with life. Jesus is the way and the truth and the life, John 14:6. The way and the truth and the life. We’re going to hear myself, John 14, 6, 15 to 35.
