Church is helping to train pastors in Romania and in the Middle East and in Mongolia.
! You're helping to raise up missionaries to go to different places.
! When I hear what Walid has done among the Muslims and others and what Doug is doing,
and I know what is happening in Romania, and the fact that you have a huge part in that,
in supporting all of us to be able to be there, and then in your prayers,
you are a part of that.
And I hope you feel that this week, that this has been a chance for you to be encouraged,
what God has done through you and through your prayers.
And I just praise God for you, and I hope you've been encouraged by that.
You are allowed to amen to that, by the way.
You know, as I prepared the sermon, I asked my family.
They did not know what the theme of the conference was,
but they knew what the sermon was that I wanted to bring forth to you this morning.
And they came up with How to Love the Unbeliever.
Now, that's pretty close to the title of the conference, isn't it?
And so I believe that God has put this together for this conference,
and I want to share it with you.
If you will turn in your Bibles to the book of 1 Timothy,
I'm going to have you follow along with me.
But I want to start with a way of introduction about some things that sometimes we have Christianese,
that we're so used to, words we're so accustomed to,
that I just want to clarify one of those before we get started,
and that's the word lost.
Loving the lost.
Now, to those of us who are believers in Jesus Christ,
who realize that at some point in our life we were lost,
we were dead in our sins,
we did not know what to do,
how to handle this debt of sin,
what it was going to mean for the future,
and then the truth was brought to us,
and we received Jesus Christ,
the word lost to us almost has an endearing term of,
I was lost, but now I'm found,
and we're not embarrassed.
It brings memories of grace to us.
But what about to the lost person?
When we say we're here to love the lost,
and if you're sitting here today,
and I hope there are several here today,
that need Jesus Christ,
and you hear us talk about the word lost,
what does that mean to you?
There are two responses that you can have to that.
To the person who realizes they're lost,
we're kind of glad that somebody recognizes we're lost.
You ever been lost driving,
and you have that look on your face like...
And somebody walks up and says,
excuse me, are you lost?
That moment of relief that somebody recognizes I'm lost,
and they must, if they're asking, they have an answer.
You understand?
But at the same moment,
you're not like, yes, I'm lost.
It's that, yeah.
There is an issue of humility that comes with that.
When you recognize you're lost,
you're glad that there's an answer,
but there's a humility, a humbleness that you feel,
because you know you're lost.
What about to the lost person who doesn't know they're lost?
Ever been there?
I've done that, driving in a bad snowstorm.
Actually, my son was driving.
He was 16, and I wanted him to have winter experience.
And so we were driving through a Chicago blizzard,
headed up north, and we were going to go skiing.
After a men's retreat, we were headed north,
we were going to go skiing in Cadillac, Michigan.
So we're driving, and we're just,
we had the GPS on,
and it was in the back on a laptop computer
with a little thing that sat on,
a Bluetooth thing that sat on the dash.
And we just, I said, Dave, just drive.
Now snow is coming.
And it was great for him to drive,
because nobody else was on the road.
They were smart.
So we're driving,
and we went about 45 minutes where we saw nobody.
I mean, there were car tire marks on the road,
and then there were car and truck tire marks on the road.
Then there were just truck tire marks on the road.
Then there were truck marks and snowmobile tracks on the road.
Then there were just snowmobile tracks,
and then they quit.
And we're still driving.
I thought I knew where we were.
And he said,
it was about eight inches of snow now,
and he's got to keep it up to 45 miles an hour in the snow to keep moving.
He goes,
Dad, I don't know if I can do this much longer.
And I said,
all right, I'll drive.
And I looked back at the GPS,
because we were waiting for it to talk to me and tell us when to turn.
And it said,
GPS signal lost 45 minutes ago.
Okay, so I was lost and didn't know it.
So suppose for a minute somebody comes to you and says,
oh, are you lost?
And they recognize you're in the wrong area.
But you don't think so.
There's not that humble, oh, yes.
It's like, what are you talking about?
I know what I'm doing.
I know where I'm going.
The word lost becomes offensive.
You understand?
So what I want you to know that when we say lost,
we're not here to offend you.
But if you don't know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior,
that is a term that we believe identifies you.
And we hope that you will recognize by that sentence,
loving the lost.
We're not condemning you for being lost.
We're loving you because of that position.
And I hope you understand that as we go into today's sermon.
We've heard a lot in the last few days about what God is doing.
And I had one person tell me, he said,
when you guys start listing the things that you're doing,
we know you're not telling us everything.
We get tired listening.
Do you think that we ever get weary doing missionary work?
Do you ever get tired doing the work that God's called you to do right here?
The answer to that is absolutely.
I want you to look at 1 Timothy in chapter 1.
I believe Timothy was in a state like that.
Now when we read this, starting with verse 1,
it says,
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus,
by the command of God our Savior,
and of Christ Jesus our hope,
to Timothy, my true son in the faith,
grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
As I urged you when I went into Macedonia,
stay there in Ephesus,
so that you may command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer,
nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies.
These promote controversies rather than God's work, which is by faith.
Now does it tell us in that verse, or in those verses,
the mental state or the emotional state of Timothy?
Does it say anything about that?
No.
Then why is it that I think he was about ready to give up and throw in the towel?
Now, what was Paul urging him to do?
I had to stay there.
Well, if Paul is urging him to stay there,
what might Timothy be thinking about doing?
Not staying there, right?
Now this is the first time that Paul has had to say this to Timothy, right?
What did the verse say?
As I urged you before, right?
So is this the first time Paul's had to bring this up to Timothy?
It's at least the second time, right?
So at least twice now, Paul has come to Timothy and said,
Timothy, Timothy, as I told you before, my dear son in the Lord,
stay there.
Don't leave.
Now, why was Timothy even interested in leaving?
Did you know that most missionaries that come off the field,
when it's because a lot of it's sometimes health reasons and other things,
very rarely is it because of conflict with nationals.
You know, usually it's conflict with other missionaries.
Did you know that?
That that's where a lot of the conflicts happen.
You know, when you talk about ministers who are burned out,
rarely are they burned out because there's just so much happening that's good
and so much fruit is being produced that it burns them out.
Usually it's when they're working and working and working
and they're not able to see the fruit yet.
And sometimes it just, you have to till that ground because it's hard
and you've got to fertilize it and you have to persevere
and you've got to stick to it.
Not seeing immediate fruit does not mean you're in the wrong place.
But when you work and you work and you work
and you don't see the fruit and you're like,
what is this ever going to quit?
That's when it's easy to face burnout.
And Timothy, I believe, since it's the same issue coming up,
had dealt with these people that were in his church,
that were teaching false doctrines,
that he's dealing with this problem.
He's like, at some point, I can't seem to get through to them.
I give up. I'm done. I want to go.
And he was burned out.
He was tired.
Paul comes in and he says,
I urge you, Timothy, as I did before.
I'm going to try to encourage you, Timothy.
I want you to stay there.
I know it's tough.
But this is what God has called you to do.
Timothy, stay there.
Stay there and do what?
Like, learn to tolerate them?
Is that what it says?
Stay there and learn tolerance, Timothy,
because then everyone will be happy.
He says, stay there and command them.
It's a very authoritative word.
There are many words in the New Testament
translated into the English word command.
And this one is a very authoritative military command.
Command them to stop teaching the false doctrine.
Timothy, get a handle on the situation.
I know it's hard.
I know you're worn out.
I know you don't want to get into that battle again.
You don't think you're going to win.
But Timothy, Paul says, my dear son in the faith,
get in there and win this one.
Defend the faith.
And if you look at 1 and 2 Timothy,
the theme throughout both of these is doctrine.
And how important doctrine and true doctrine is
and how it relates to the way we live our Christian life.
Now, all that is background
for what I want to talk to you about this morning.
A key verse for me is in verse 5.
It says, the goal of this command is what?
I want you to say it.
The goal of this command is love.
Which command?
The command to stay there and deal with the problem?
Did Paul command Timothy to stay there?
No, he didn't command him.
What did he do?
He urged him.
What's the only command here?
Commanding the false teachers
to stop teaching false doctrine.
The goal of that command is not
so that ministry will be easier for you, Timothy,
because they'll stop being the resistance.
The goal of the command is love.
Love for that person who right now
seems to be your enemy.
The one who's causing you the problems.
Do you know anybody like that?
That causes problems?
That in your way,
when you're trying to do what's right
and they're in your way?
You're like, oh God,
if you would just remove them
from the situation.
Imagine,
and Paul tells Timothy,
Timothy,
that the goal of commanding them
to stop teaching false doctrine,
to confront them
and deal with what truth is,
the goal of that command is love.
It's love.
Keep reading.
The goal of this command is love,
which comes from a pure heart.
Not one who's seeking
its own comfort,
its own desires,
but one who's seeking the comfort
or the desires or the needs of who?
Someone else.
And we're going to talk about
who that someone else is
in just a moment.
It comes from a good conscience,
knowing that you are standing clear
before God
in doing what you're supposed to do
and of a sincere faith
because,
Timothy,
you're going to have to look at these guys
you don't think are ever going to change.
Man,
they have dug in their heels
and they're standing firm
in their false doctrine
and they're teaching other people
and you've got to get in there
and tell them to quit teaching other people.
This is a church
where you're going to teach the truth
and you've got to get in there
and tell them to stop.
But,
but,
but Paul,
you don't know these guys.
Man,
I've talked to them before
and they don't listen.
Well,
listen,
Timothy,
you need to do this
but you're going to have to do it
with sincere faith.
Believing that God can change
even those guys.
Is there anybody that you know
that is such a sinner
you just can't believe
that they would ever accept Jesus Christ?
Man,
they're just so hard and fast
in their ways.
They're so dogmatic
about what they believe.
Believe me,
God's changed worse.
Do you believe that?
Then do you believe that God
can change that person
you're thinking about?
A sincere faith says,
you know what,
I'm going to go into this
knowing it's not me
that's ever going to change one person
but God can change anyone.
And so this is what Paul
is telling Timothy.
He says,
Timothy,
the goal of this
is love.
Now I want you to see
how Paul
teaches Timothy
to love
this enemy
or these enemies
that are against him.
Look at verse 6.
Some have wandered away
and have turned to me
to this talk.
Now watch this,
verse 7.
They want to be
teachers of the law
but they don't know
what they're talking about
or what they so confidently affirm.
They want to be
teachers of what?
The law.
Who's talking here?
Paul.
Does Paul know anything
about being a teacher
of the law?
What had Paul become?
I mean,
back when he was Saul,
before he was Paul,
everything these guys
ever dream of being,
he's already been there,
done that.
Right?
They're hoping,
they're hoping to be
teachers of the law
and Paul says,
I was a teacher of the law
and I went as high
as you could get.
Now when he describes
these guys,
how does he describe them?
They want to be
teachers of the law
but they don't know
what they're talking about.
Isn't that what he says?
They're acting in ignorance.
What was the attitude
of Jesus
towards the soldiers
that beat him
when he was on the cross?
Father, forgive them.
They don't know
what they're doing.
They're acting in ignorance.
How does Paul
describe himself
at the time
he was a teacher
of the law?
If we look down
to verse 12,
I thank Christ Jesus
our Lord
who has given me strength
that he considered me faithful
appointing me
to his service
even though
I was
once
a blasphemer
and a persecutor
and a violent man.
When was he
those three things?
When he was a
teacher
of the law.
Right?
So speaking of that time,
he says,
I was shown mercy
because
I
acted
how?
In ignorance
and unbelief.
Paul says,
Timothy,
my son,
do you love me?
Yes, Paul.
You're like a father
to me.
Okay,
then listen,
I'm telling you,
you gotta put a stop
to what they're doing.
But not for your sake,
Timothy,
but for their sake.
It's not so your ministry
will be easier,
so your church will flourish
and ministries
are gonna go without opposition,
but for their sake,
Timothy.
Can you love those guys
because they're doing wrong?
Because they're doing wrong
because they don't know
any better.
I didn't know better
when I was doing
exactly what they're doing.
What did he do?
He just took the face
off of those unbelievers
and put his own face
in front of Timothy.
You see that?
He says,
Timothy,
do you understand?
You love me.
We're like this.
Take that love
and look at the other guys
who were in the same position
I was in
when somebody loved me,
when Jesus Christ loved me
and brought his grace to me
and when he changed me.
Was Paul still
what those guys are
or had he changed?
Oh, he changed.
Now,
Timothy liked Paul.
You see why
it takes a sincere faith
and a pure heart
and a clear conscience
to look at those guys
and instead of seeing them
for who they are,
see them for who they could be?
Listen,
that's how you love the lost.
We get so wrapped up
in what they're doing to us,
we can't love them.
But if we can let go of that
and begin to see them
for who God sees they could be,
if we share the gospel with them
and if God gets a hold
of their life
and if God can change them
and if grace comes on them,
what will they be?
I was at Liberty University
just a couple weeks ago
for their missions conference
and the president
of Wycliffe Translators
was there
and he posed this question
and it hit me like a rock
when he posed the question
and the more I've thought about it,
the more I can't,
I can't even imagine it.
I go into countries
where there is no gospel.
You've got to understand that.
They've never read the Bible.
They don't know anything about God.
I want you to imagine
what your worldview of life,
daily life,
would be
if you had no biblical principles,
no understanding of God,
no Bible verses,
no godly person around you
setting the example.
You had no Bible influence
on your worldview.
What would you be thinking like?
We need to see those people
and put ourselves in that position
before we give up the opportunity
to love them
because had it not been
for God being merciful
and bringing his message to us,
who would we be?
We'd be no different
and the way you're going to learn
to love the lost
is to see ourselves
and what we would have been
and that's what,
that's exactly what Paul is doing.
He says,
I was shown mercy
because I acted in ignorance.
In verse 14 now,
1 Timothy chapter 1,
the grace of our Lord
was poured out on me abundantly
along with the faith
and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Remember, he's talking to Timothy.
Now, I want you to think about this
for a moment.
Look back at verse 2.
To Timothy, my true son in the faith,
and then he gives his greeting.
What's it say?
Grace?
What?
What's next?
Mercy and peace.
If you were to go back to Romans
and 1 Corinthians
and 2 Corinthians
and Galatians
and Ephesians
and Philippians
and Colossians,
every book,
he has the same greeting.
Grace and peace.
Not gravy and peas.
Grace and peace.
Until he gets to this
pastoral epistle,
which, by the way,
I think is a wrong name for it.
He's not,
he has a pastor,
so I'm okay with calling it
a pastoral epistle,
but he was a missionary
trained by Paul,
moved around
from Corinth to Ephesus.
He traveled with Paul,
started a church
in the home of Aquila Priscilla,
which he's pastoring here
in Ephesus
when Paul writes him.
So he's a missionary pastor.
It's a missionary epistle
if you ask me.
And he gets to here
and he says,
I know what you're dealing with.
I'm about to ask you
to stay and deal with
some people that are against you,
so grace,
mercy,
and peace.
It's the first time
he brings up mercy
in his greeting like that.
I don't know if it's because
in order to deal with this,
Timothy,
you're going to need
the mercy of God,
or if it's,
you're going to need
God's mercy to deal
with those people,
or if it's both.
But God's mercy
is a huge part of this,
and he says,
in verse 15 now,
here is a trustworthy saying
that deserves full acceptance.
The Christ Jesus
came into the world
to save sinners,
the lost,
those people that realize
they're lost
and they're looking for a way
like Cornelius
or the Ethiopian eunuch
who realized something was missing
and they knew they were lost
and can't somebody
show me the way?
To Saul,
who was on the road
to kill other Christians
and didn't know
he was lost
and thought he was doing
the right thing
because out of unbelief
he was ignorant of the truth.
And if you'd have told Paul,
Saul,
on that way
before the Lord
showed up to him
on Damascus,
Saul,
you are lost,
brother.
He would not have been humble
and said,
well then thank you
for showing me the way.
He just said,
who are you
to tell me
I'm lost?
Right?
So from extreme
to extreme
God is ready
to reach all of them
and Paul recognizes it now
and he says,
look at this,
I love this.
He said,
Jesus Christ came into the world
to save sinners
of whom
I
am
the worst.
Meaning
to Timothy,
stating very clearly
to Timothy
where on the scale
of worst
to easiest
to deal with
would his enemies be
above or below Paul?
Timothy,
you're mad at those guys.
Listen to me.
You would not have liked me.
You see what he's doing?
He's putting himself
in the position
of the lost,
making Timothy
look at him.
I want you to see
when Paul does this
and when we do this,
when we humble ourselves
enough to do
what Paul is doing,
it will drive us
to love the lost
because there's no mistaking
in this passage
Paul loves the lost.
Right?
But look what else it does
when we're willing
to humble ourselves
this way.
He says,
verse 16,
but for that very reason
I was shown,
there's our word again,
mercy,
so that in me
the worst of sinners,
Christ Jesus
might display
his unlimited patience
as an example
for those
who would believe on him
and receive eternal life.
He's saying,
look,
I was the one
called out in class
where the teacher
uses an example.
Anybody like
to be that student?
I always found a way
to be that student.
I don't know why
or what I did.
I didn't like it.
It's not enjoyable
when we're called
the example
of wrongdoing.
But instead of hiding
from that,
Paul doesn't say,
yeah,
and I'm glad
he saved me,
but man,
those are really
rough years for me.
because Paul
focused
on his
sinful past
and then the mercy
that came upon him
and the forgiveness
of sins
that was given to him,
look what happens
to him.
He says,
I'm going to read
the last half
of that verse again.
It says,
to be an example
for those who
would believe on him
and receive eternal life,
now to the king,
eternal,
immortal,
invisible,
the only God,
be honored and glory
forever and ever.
Amen.
What happened?
He's talking about
how bad he was.
And within two verses,
he's,
hey,
God is awesome.
He's dancing.
He's amen and amen
and amen and amen.
I could just see
Paul writing a letter,
breaking his pencil.
Oh,
give me another one.
But a minute ago,
he's talking about
how he was an example
of sinfulness.
But it caused him
to think about
the greatness of God.
How often do you think
about your past
to remind you
of what you were,
not to be sorrowful in it,
but to remember
what God has done.
It's awesome.
Are you grateful
that God forgave you?
I mean,
I am.
I hate the thought
of what I would be
without the biblical worldview
of Jesus Christ
and what he's done for me.
There are lost people
around you
that don't have that.
It's not that they've
just rejected.
Some have.
But they don't even know
what's being offered.
And don't assume
that your neighbor knows
just because they live
in America
or just because
they live next to you.
Or like Waleed said,
with the church
that was right down
the street from his house,
never shared the gospel
with him until he walked in.
They just assumed
people around would know.
Well,
mm-mm.
So when you see
that enemy
and the harder
they are to deal with,
the more you need
to look at yourself.
Because the minute
you realize
I was bad
and God saved me
and there's people
like Paul
that are worse
than me.
Paul admitted
he was a worse sinner.
And yet God reached them.
I'm going to worship God
because I can see
ahead of time
what God's going to do
in the lives
of those people.
That's faith.
It'd be a real hard job
to be a missionary
to people you absolutely knew
are never going to receive
Jesus Christ.
We do it in the hope
that they're going to
because God's big enough
to reach them.
Not because we're smart enough
to convince them
but because God
is big enough
to reach them.
Does this make sense to you?
We learn to love them
because Paul
said,
of the worst of them
that was me.
Timothy
if you're going to
hate those guys
hate me first
because I was worse
and the only difference
between me and them
is God's grace
which you had nothing
to do with.
Will you change
your attitude
towards the lost?
Instead of seeing them
as in the way
of the church
and in the way
of things
and the way
of ministry
and the problems
they cause you
believe me
these guys
were causing
real problems
for Timothy
in his church.
The problems
are not going
to go away.
Will you get
on your knees
and say,
oh God
change my attitude
towards them
let me see
myself
in their shoes.
Let me see
what I would have been
had I
not had the knowledge
of scripture
that they're missing.
When Jesus said
to the soldiers
father forgive them
they don't know
what they're doing
one could argue
yes they did
they tightened up
their fist
they pulled it back
and as they swung
it across his jaw
did they not expect
it to hurt?
They knew
what they were doing
but did they really
know
the audacity
that they had
to be smiting
the son of God?
did they know
that?
They didn't
and Jesus
in his infinite
knowledge
said
oh I feel
sorry for them
because they don't
realize what they're
doing
and he loved
them
while they
beat him
who are we
to lose love
for some
lost person
because they make
life uncomfortable
for us
will you
love
the lost?
Let's pray
dear heavenly father
I want to thank you
for the love
that Paul
displayed
in this chapter
the need
to love
the lost
we don't
love them
by
tolerating
and allowing
it to go by
and not
standing firm
on the truth
there is
only
one
way
to
salvation
through
Jesus
Christ
Jesus
said
I am
the way
the truth
and the life
no one
comes to the
father
but by me
so Lord
help us
to stand
in the truth
but to love
the sinner
enough
to tell
them
the gospel
message
while heads
are bowed
and eyes
are closed
I want to
talk to you
believers
for a moment
I believe
we have
believers
here
of all
levels
of maturity
but I think
every one
of us
every one
of us
including
myself
struggles
with the
love
for the
unbelievers
that cause
us
problems
I first
want you
to
talk
to the
Lord
and ask
him
for
forgiveness
of that
sin
I believe
it's a
sin
to hate
the lost
ask
him
for
forgiveness
for that
and ask
him
to give
you
his
heart
of love
and patience
and understanding
towards the
unbeliever
even when
they are
mistreating
you
unjustly
and if
the Lord
lays on
your heart
a specific
name
and you
can ask
him to
do that
Lord lay
on my
heart
a specific
name
if he
puts
on your
heart
or in
your
mind
a specific
name
in a
moment
during
the invitation
I'm
going to
ask
you
to
step
forward
and by
coming
forward
and you
can pray
with somebody
if you
want
or you
can just
stand here
and pray
to the
Lord
you can
kneel
at the
stairs
turn around
kneel
at the
front row
sit on
the front
row
I don't
care
have a
time of
prayer
with the
Lord
and then
go back
to your
seat
but by
doing so
you are
committing
to the
Lord
that I
will pray
!
for that
person
and I
will seek
an opportunity
to share
the gospel
with that
person
within the
next two
weeks
to a
month
I will
pray about
it
and then
I'm going to
go and I'm going to
talk to them
I'm committing
myself to do
that
by coming
forward and
praying and going
back you are
committing to the
Lord that you are
going to actively do
something about that
lost soul
maybe this week
has stirred
someone else
to say
you know what
I want to
give my life
to be a
missionary
if God
wants me
and I'm going
to head in that
direction until
God closes
the door
that challenge
was given to me
at 11 years old
and I took it
and I followed
that and I pursued
missions until
God shut the
door for a
certain time
and then eventually
he opened it
and now we're
again right where
he wants us to
be
that was done
at 11 years old
I didn't know
for sure I would
be a missionary
but I told the
Lord if you want
me to be
I'm willing to
go
that could be
a teenager
youth
it could be
an adult
it could be
somebody already
in a career
who says
okay Lord
I'm willing
to start
looking at it
and I'll
head that way
until you
shut the
door
if that's a
decision
you're willing
to make
this morning
I'm going
to ask you
to come
forward
and tell
Pastor
Kenoyer
that this
is a
decision
that you
want to
make
I got
one more
I want to
talk to the
lost
now
and I say
that term
very endearingly
not judgmentally
do you need
Jesus Christ
he is a
holy
perfect God
that hates
sin
and yet
he's commanded
us to love
you
because he
loves you
he sees
that what
you need
was the
knowledge
and belief
you needed
the knowledge
that Jesus
Christ
died on the
cross
paid
for your
sin
rose
from the
dead
out of
love
for you
and offers
the free
gift
of salvation
and he
just wants
you to hear
that and
believe it
will you
accept that
message today
it's a
simple thing
and if that's
a decision
you're willing
to make
today
I want
you to
come
forward
and speak
to me
or Pastor
Kenoyer
and say
I want
to make
that
decision
and we'll
put you
with somebody
who will
open up
the scriptures
and answer
any question
that you
have
so you
can
with 100%
clarity
make the
decision
to accept
Jesus Christ
as your
personal
savior
and not
be lost
any longer
but to be
found
and to be
with us
who rejoice
that we
understand we
used to be
lost but now
we found the
way through
Jesus Christ
as we stand
together
in just a
moment
I'm going to
pray and
then we're
going to
sing together
during the
song
we're going
to have an
opportunity
for you to
come forward
let's pray
dear heavenly
father
I pray
that you
would help
us to
make
decisions
now
before
you
commitments
not just
to hear it
let it go
in one ear
and out
another
not to
feel like
we've been
challenged
but to
make a
decision
to do
something
about it
in this
I pray
in Jesus
name
amen
stand
together
God's
put a
matter
on your
heart
that you
need to
care for
publicly
you
or a
brother
give
very
pointed
challenge
and as
we are
singing
if God
lays that
matter
on your
heart
you
come
forward
and
settle
that
with
him
