Notes from reading he feedback:
- Most of the "for it" feedback was shallow, short and without any support other than "I like it" or "it's the best"
- Some of the negative feedback was shallow too, many were thoughtful and respectful
- The one long review from June 14, 2023 was one of the most balanced and thoughtful and was in favor of using the book
- The most energetic responses were against replacing the red and black hymn books, even if we did also purchase the Anthem song books
- None of the reviews included biblical evaluations of what worship or music is supposed to be
- Many seemed in favor of using the song book without purchasing for each row
- I think teaching on worship and music is needed at the chapel
- I agree that we cannot chase down the lives of everyone who has written a song to evaluate them for sinlessness. On the other hand, if, without any effort, we already know of the horrible sins of some of the song writers, I think we should carefully consider whether we'll sing those songs or not. "Negligible" royalty fees add up to enriching such authors and throwing our portion to them seems unwise.
- I agree with one reviewer who asked to understand the reasons behind the desire to switch. Personally, I don't know what those reasons are either and I think they should be carefully understood before considering switching.
- Considering only people's feelings for the moment: I think we'd do the _most_ injury if we replaced the current books with the new one completely. Almost everyone appears to be onboard with incorporating songs from Anthem without purchasing them for every row and replacing the current hymnals.

Board of Directors Meeting, March 18th, 2021
The regular annual meeting of the Bible Chapel of Shawnee Board of Directors was called to order by President Steve Robertson. Present were Robert Rockhold, Steve Robertson, Todd Ericson, Ron Spragg, Ben Ramey and Pete Youngberg.
Minutes
Ron Spragg opened in prayer.
The 2020 chapel board meeting minutes were read and approved with only minor typo corrections.
REPORTS
Treasurers Report
Bob Rockhold presented the treasurers report for 2020. This included the following reports.
1. The monthly financial report showing income, disbursements and fund balances from December 2020
2. A comparison of total expenses by category from 2019 and 2020
3. A categorization by "internal" versus "outreach" of all expenses from 2020
There were no disbursements from the CD Redemption Fund after May 2020. In total $276.02 was disbursed from the fund in 2020.
CD Redemption Fund Disbursements by year:
2018 air condition, sound equipment, shutters
2019 chairs and carpet
2020 nothing
Treasurer's report was approved.
Fire Inspector's Report
2020 there was no fire inspection due to COVID-19 issue and sparse usage of the building. Ron Spragg responded to a few questions and the fire department sent us an approved report for 2020.
Insurance Report
Insurance company notified us of increased theft of copper and catalytic converters. This was addressed in the men's meeting.
OLD BUSINESS
Chapel Security Team
COVID-19 changed plans since meetings at the chapel were canceled. The first meeting will be planned this year with Chris Jozwick, Ben Ramey, Diane Youngberg and Karen Price.
Backup Treasurer
Bob has not been meeting with Noah Price because of COVID-19 restrictions. Noah is unsure of where he will end up with school and job and should not be relied on to take the position. Christian and Noah would meet together with Bob. Christian has a business degree and may be a better option. Gilma Rodriguez and Meyung Gwun are both accountants, but may not be interested.
The board will continue to review this year-to-year until a long-term solution is found.
Chapel Internet Connection
The WiFi password is still kept private. For remote meetings, the chapel purchased a Zoom license for three individuals that are used across various meetings for the chapel.
Chapel Security System
Charles Stange installed the security system in 2020, including a video camera on the exterior, facing the front door.
Chapel Basement Remodel
Some improvements were done during 2020 by Ron Spragg and Steve Bouchie. A private area (extending the partition) in the nursery, including a door. Added some air ducts.
The previous plan to more extensively remodel the basement was put on hold due to COVID-19 and meeting remotely.
New Hymnals
Several hymnals were repaired for use with Vessels of Honor. Since VoH was remote last year, these repaired hymnals were used at the chapel and no new purchases were made.
NEW BUSINESS
COVID-19 Response
Until now and going forward we have and will follow Johnson County guidelines. Todd Ericson has discussed seating arrangements since more people are coming to the meeting. Spacing out chairs and using every row. Two sides to chapel: one for social distancing, one with no social distancing and people could choose where to sit.
Expenses for masks at the chapel and special bread and wine cups are minimal. In general, expenses were down from the year before due to spare building usage, camps being canceled, etc.
Chapel Van
Considering selling the van and renting a van when we need it which the men's business meeting will decide.
Offering Box
Cash offerings greatly dropped from 2019 to 2020. This is most likely due to remote meetings, and fewer people being at the chapel as well and a decline in attendance from groups at the chapel most likely to give with cash.
Increasingly Hostile Cultural Environment
A couple of years ago we put in protections regarding being asked to perform gay weddings.
Should a church attorney be hired to review our bylaws. Assembly Care Ministries reviewed our bylaws in 2016 with lawyers present. This could be renewed. Pete will follow-up with ACM.
Motion to have Pete run bylaws through ACM was approved.
ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBERS
Robert Rockhold was re-elected to the board for a three-year term, expiring in 2024.
Todd Ericson was re-elected to the board for a three-year term, expiring in 2024.
Pete Youngberg was re-elected to the board for a three-year term, expiring in 2024.

Visitation needed, especially for some who have been coming regularly and shown interest in staying and attending regularly.
What do the elders cover?
- Hearing testimonies of the individuals
- In the past, Steve and Carl would review the history of the chapel, coming out of having no elders, meeting the challenges that came out of that. That may no longer be necessary as an introductory thing with new people--it's not as relevant anymore, nor as recent.
- Discuss fellowship, it's concepts
- Hebrews 13:17 - responsibility on both sides (leaders and flock)
- Differentiate between membership and fellowship
- Back of our directory has some clarifying thoughts regarding this
- Discuss how we meet, if they're attending, they're seeing it
- Elder-led
- Variety of teachers
- Give clarity, opportunity for questions
- Discuss some doctrine, or "hot topics"
- "We are no a homeschool church"--sometimes clarifications like that are necessary
- We are not a group of hot-topics we congregate around
- We don't "push" certain things from the pulpit because our singular focus is on Christ
Who do the elders need to visit?

Kiera's situation
- Needed a place to stay Saturday night
- She's in North Dakota, returning today
- She can't return home, dad sold house
- Holly said she can use their car
- Kiera wanted to sleep in Holly's car behind the chapel, can't do that for the sake of our neighbors, not safe for her
- She could have been working on this last weekend, instead of travelling up north!
- Still have job? Don't know…
- Figure out something temporarily, then have direct conversation with her
- Extended Stay is an option, to the end of the month, looks to be around $43/night
- Talk to deacons about paying for this stay
- Talk to Kiera about it
- Get Stephanie involved in discipling her--good idea to get help Kiera handle things straight!
- Todd will call Stephanie
Spanish conference
- David and Geraldine Cayama were there, David looked back, bronchitis turned to pneumonia

Conversation with Darrin
- Steve and Pete talked together
- Darrin approached elders, confused on what to do to go forward
- Wants to get to Japan quickly
- Seems slow going through Pioneer
- We would help him along through CMML, we commend through CMML
- Darrin, doesn't have car, haven't seen him work with others
- Expect it to take 2-3 years to get there, quickest way would be to get a job there, he has training in ESL
- Would encourage him that way, taking a job would accept him in the culture
- Steve cautioned Darrin not to be too American--mentioned that this gets in Brock's way sometimes

- Moved from Colorado
- Started in a baptist church
- Moved to a charismatic church, but the teaching appears to have turned them away
- Asked questions about losing salvation, indicating they didn't align with that teaching of losing ones salvation
- They went back to their baptist church and expressed getting "re-centered" on doctrine
- Gabi wasn't going to church for 6-7 years before coming to the chapel
- David told Gabi about us, had connections through Lakewood Bible Chapel in Colorado via David
- Gabi felt conviction to go to church, visited 4-5 other churches, liked "something different" when they came to us, very positive on how things are here (warm, welcome, comfortable--David and Stephanie said similar things)
- David & Stephanie: child is "Nairobi"
- David and Gabi baptized in baptist church in Colorado
- Michael not a believer, not baptized, Stephanie, not sure?
Miguel and Shiela ? Have not visited with them. Miguel has some kind of vision issue, won't come without his wife because of that (driving?).
Gabi and David interested in discipleship. We lack in this! Steve suggested a "orientation"-type class. Using a Gene Gibson book (Survey of Basic Christianity, Basic Christian Training) would be good.

Todd and Pete are going to talk to Brandon about the organizational aspects of the men's study. The first one this fall was bad--he started preparing breakfast at 8am which is when the study starts! He also led the study, but couldn't start until 9:12am.
Kiara, checking out Christian girl she met on social media to live with in Wichita. Seems to have checked out, but can't move in until October. Kiara was offered to live in Pittsburg, KS with her sister. Transferring from one Freddy's to another. Her insurance worked out after she thought it was cancelled.
Anthem song book, general conclusion seems to be to make the song book available for singing from, but not buying for each seat, using wisdom to choose which songs we sing. Seems like some teaching is needed on music and worship, it's purpose and the biblical reasoning and support for it.

Pete: Examples, application good, overall did a great job
Todd and Carl didn't hear it. Tisara thought it was good. Wasn't sure that some of the earlier scriptures he shared were connected to his topic, but he made it clear later in the message.
Nonchalant, cavalier sometimes
My main thoughts: need better structure for message. He said he had one point "the return of israel" and it could have and should have been expanded--his message really was well organized and could have been broken down by topics.

Modified from before.
Theme: recognizing and adopting responsibilities of Christian life.
Talk about responsibility: personally struggle with, especially when younger. As a kid on the farm, I had one job. IN the morning I was supposed to let the chickens out and at night, put back away. Poor chickens would spend many a day in the coup.
Became more responsible in this task: became more mature. Later, I would wake up in the middle of the night thinking I had forgotten the chickens!
Becoming more responsible brings maturity. Same of a Christian? What are the responsibilities of a Christian.
1. What has Christ done for us: Suffered punished of our sins, of the whole world
1. 1 John - not only our sins, but the whole world
2. Do we understand what this means?
3. More to the cross than a man hanging there
4. Endured wrath of man and God
5. Luke 22: sweat great drops of blood, symptom of someone under extreme stress
6. Why did He sweat like this? Knowledge of the massive weight? Knowing what the Lord would do, pouring His wrath on Him?
7. Is 53:5 - wounded for our transgressions
8. Taken our punishment, and taken our damnation that we rightly deserve
2. What has Christ not done for us?
1. Not forcing us to read
2. Not forcing us to find direction for our lives
3. Not forcing us to do anything
4. So, these are decisions we all make--these are the responsibilities that Christ has entrusted us with
3. Adopting these responsibilities
1. If we even have a small understanding of Christ on the cross, we would have a debt of gratitude
1. Appreciation that someone has for another
2. A life lived in appreciation to Christ
3. If we respond in a flippant way: it indicates our attitude to Christ
4. Should we adopt them? Yes! Most of these responsibilities are commands
2. What they are
1. Seek God: Matt 6:33, seek ye first the Kingdom; 1 Chron 16:11, seek the Lord, His face, His strength
2. Study the Word: 2 Tim 2, study to show yourself approved
3. Obey the word: James 1:21-22, lay apart all filthiness, doers of the word
4. Prayer: Col. 4:2 - continue in prayer, watch with thanksgiving
5. Follow Holy Spirit: Gal 5:16 - walk in the Spirit
6. So many more: witnessing, etc
7. So many, can't do them all! A huge load! Thankfully have this verse: john 14:16, the Father will give you a Helper, that He may abide with you forever! We have His help in all these things.
3. Intentional in taking on these responsibilities
4. Closing
1. Fear: get to heaven and understand all things and think back and say, "wow", what was I doing on earth?
2. Who was I serving? Pursuing? Suffering for? My focus? My time?
3. Perspective
1. For unbeliever: when they look at this life: this the very best, makes sense that they would make this the very best--most enjoyment, wealth, whatever.
2. For Christian: totally different--best life yet to come, this the worst time we have. It gets a lot better in times to come. Let's not have the perspective of the unbeliever. Wouldn't it wisest to spend time and energy to make the most impact for the Lord, for the next life

Title: necessary steps to a true prayer
Think about question: how do prayer and faith work together.
Pray
We get to pray with God--a one-on-one conversation. It's a privilege that we are able to talk to God. Prayers don't have to sound perfect, but in faith and trust in God.
Why are prayers difficult?
Are my priorities out of order?
Am I spiritually dry?
If you answered yes, trust Jesus--he wants to guide and answer our prayers.
Start to worry about the words and what others are thinking.
Example: went to collegiate day of prayer. Wanted to have a sincere prayer. I ripped my pants. Distracted me constantly in my mind.
Couple of other distractions: when got into group, room was loud, multiple people praying. Decided to pray when room was quiet--actually prayed over soft-spoken girl! Felt bad and embarrassed. God was listening to us both. God heard both, praying over each other didn't cancel each other out.
Ps 100:45 - no limit to God's understanding that He hears all prayers, all over the earth, all at the same time
Hebrew 10:19-25
Meant to encourage us and a stern warning.
Heb 10:22 - let us draw near w/ sincere heart, full assurance of faith,
Context - old covenant would not take away sin
NT is God and the follower of Christ
Main teaching of Heb 10 is that animal sacrifices would not take away sin--foreshadowing the perfect sacrifice of Christ
Now an offering is not required. Doesn't mean we don't do anything. We have to take the initiative in asking forgiveness for sin.
Now that we know Jesus has paved the way, we can draw near.
Five things are part of drawing near.
1. Let us draw near
1. To whom: God
2. How: all parts of worship, conversations, how would you?
2. A true heart
1. Without hypocrisy
2. Embodies the truth, believing the gospel is true
3. Full assurance of faith and salvation
4. Towards: God, selves, others
5. Jer. 17:9 - heart deceitful, we can't pray with a deceitful heart, a true heart is one given up to God
6. Matt 6:10 - Jesus gave a true prayer, God's will be done on earth as in heaven
7. Praying for his will
3. A full assurance of faith
1. Do doubt to our acceptance in God
2. Sometimes we have doubt--God understands because we are human
3. Fully trust that God forgives out sins and Christ was that sacrifice
4. Having hearts sprinkled from evil conscience
1. First glance: not knowing what it meant
2. Sprinkled from: hearts need to be cleansed
3. Indicates consistent character and dedicated to God
4. Evil conscience: murder mystery-type shows and how the murderer has an evil conscience, but this is extreme! But we all have it, just a guilty conscience from sin
5. When we confess, God cleanses our heart
5. Our bodies washed with pure water
1. Our outward body, is the outward man, the flesh
2. No longer condemned as bodies are washed clean
When we draw near, we need to ask for forgiveness in trust in God.
Back to original question: how do prayer and faith work together? Simple: cannot have true prayer without faith. We pray because we know we are not self-sufficient.
Quote from John Bunyan: A sincere, sensible and affection pouring out of the heart and soul through Christ.

Thankful for the hope we have in the savior.
Sustaining thought for me this winter.
Family, taken trip down to Florida, on Sept 27, daughter adopted daughter, got to know her during that time. Little did we know, on Dec. 27th, she would be found in her bed, not breathing. Making that previous week so special.
At the same time, we were dealing with death of Eva, learned of dear friend from Hutchinson had re-diagnosis of cancer, given 6 months to live.
In the midst of these things happening, difficult time for me. Found hpe in Christ, the savior.
Asked to do Eva's committal service--never done it before, was difficult. This is what the Lord gave me.
John 11:20 - Martha and Mary lost Lazarus, probably the breadwinner. Jesus waited to go see him, he loved this family.
Lazarus had already died when He came. Two points:
1. Eva will live, though she has died
1. She is alive with the Savior, though not here with us
2. Comforting that Eva was safe with the Savior
3. Committal service first week of Jan.
4. When home, took meals to Kathy in Hutchinson
5. She lasted 45 days, Kathy was about our age, hit home, had never happened to me to lose someone like that
6. Were at committal service for Kathy, way of giving hope
7. Luke 23:39 - thief on the cross, mocking Christ, in the midst, insulted, criticized, bitter against Jesus
8. Through all of this - v41, Christ was gracious to the thief that believed on Christ, just like Martha believed in Christ and Jesus asked her
9. Knew that Kathy was with Christ in paradise
2. Do you believe this?
1. We all must face our own mortality
2. This hope lives in me, knowing Christ as my personal savior
3. You can have this hope and trust as well

Theme: the great commission
Verses: Matt 28:16-20
Intro includes Mark 16:15
Start off with question: ever been in a stadium or concert? One of the biggest has 100k people, doesn't compare to number of the people in this earth.
China: biggest population. Christians: 31 million, more than Australia. But China has 1.3 billion, Christians = 2% = a lot of unsaved souls
Mark: go into all the world, to all creation
For all disciples, not just 12, disciple means one who follows another. He's sending us.
Personally, it's hard for me to go to campus and talk to people, worry about offense, mockery and loss of friends. All comes down to fear, fear is powerful, but it's not worth 1 billion souls not knowing the Lord.
The great commission is so important.
Notes:
- Too much about definition of disciple, goes too much beyond introduction
- Grab the audience with first question
- Great numbers to get us thinking
- Good time, good lead into personal application

Tomorrow - veteran's day
Fighting against pride is a daily battle. Matthew 6:5
Read it - loving audience of men when praying
Pharisee, pride exalts himself
Publican, humbles himself
Let's get into our passage, Luke 18:10-14
Theme: Pride versus humility
Notes
Veteran's day is not relatable to most people, they've never been in a war. Relate it to the audience by showing them that they do fight (or should be fighting) a battle against pride.
Jump too quickly into verse--make sense of illustration (application, relevance) first.
What does the verse which has to do with praying have to do with pride versus humility?
God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

Profession of faith when 7, baptized when 13.
Truly saved when turned 19.
Explain - grew up in Christian home. Good kid. Only for "persona" to keep up.
High school - prideful, selfish. Basketball - entire focus in high school. Myself was focus.
Senior - shot 400 shots a day, great shape. Go running shirtless, attitude of invincibility.
Was not talented, dad and grandpa were. Success was due to working hard--but looking back, was not that successful.
Basketball was identity, worked-out hard. Trained to dunk, proud of that.
Why not saved at that time? Scripture for why I was not saved: 1 John 5:1-7
1 John 2:3-6 how we know Him--keep His commandments.
Romans 6:8-7 carnally-minded is death, separation from God, same as when Adam sinned. Carnal mind is enmity with God--opposite of agape love
I had carnal mind--on earthly things, myself. Christ was an add-on to my life--wanted to be associated with Christians, but not my focus.
Summer 2015 - built own basketball court, going on to walk-on at college. Dad took job in Springfield, wrecked my life, lost dream job, lost ability to HDC, couldn't play basketball, lost farm with court, lost friends.
February 2016 - got really sick. In bed for 2 months. Constant discomfort. Lost weight, physical muscle-mass. Everything built up was taken away. In this time, God was breaking stubborn, prideful heart. Remember being propped up against a wall, very weak. Still selfishly praying to be put out of misery--nothing to identify myself with. Everything I thought I was, was gone. Still prideful, but everything I had was not worth living for. Thinking, "live for Christ or not live at all". Still selfish, but God used that thinking to humble me before Him. Perspective completely changed, repented before the Lord about having lived myself. My life apart from Christ would amount to nothing. Nothing good apart from Christ.
1 Peter 1:24-25 all flesh is grass, the word endures. Wish I could say I'm a perfect Christian--but it is a constant struggle. Understand I'm living for Christ, but it is day-by-day decision to do it.
Praise the Lord and thank Him for His work in my life.
1 John 2:15-17 love not the world, not of the Father, He that does the will of God abides forever.

Thankful for chance to give testimony. Give insight on how God is working through my life, hope it is an encouragement.
Blessed to be born into Christian home--learn about Bible, plan for salvation. One of the reasons I was saved at 4. Didn't understand a lot, did understand heaven and hell. Mom explained God loved me and wanted me to live in heaven with him. Read classic verse, John 3:16 quote with "Luke" in the verse. It put me into the situation, "God so loved _me_".
Got nightmares when 4. Screaming many nights in my sleep. Blessing in disguise--led me to the point where I wanted help. Knew that heaven was perfect, no nightmares there. Hit me, this is where I want to be going. Hell sounded like real-life nightmare.
Romans 3:23 - knew hell was where I was headed. Very jealous kid, just took things because I wanted it. I knew I needed to change.
Good news, wages of sin is death, Romans 6:23, give of God is eternal life. I could understand at 4.
Revelation 3:20 - behold I stand at the door and knock. When my mom read that verse, I was saved and I knew it was true because God keeps his promises.
Went to catholic school, was having doubts, got confused with their teaching. Teacher was saying, going to heaven like a staircase. Do good, go up, do bad, go down. Eph. 2:8 showed me by faith, not works.
At Sooner Bible Camp, have to put trust in faith in God, not what happened when you were 4. This spoke to me, I need to put my trust in God continually.
After that, needed to take care of my sins, change views of God. Believe it for myself, not just what my parents say. Currently, trying to grow, finding God's plan for me.

Giving testimony to friend soon.
Dad coached at Beloit high school.
Brother pulled vaporizer on himself and got third-degree burns all over his body. Treated in Galveston.
Room was round, walked around outside. Every step was a bed of someone severely burned, in anguish and crying. Brother was in there, couldn't touch him but see him. You could hear whoever was in the middle of the room screaming as they disinfected the burn wounds.
Lois Phillips invited us to church--bus ministry. I would get on bus, drive to church. Bus came, not ready. Next Sunday, same. No one ready. Lois came back third Sunday, asked us again to come. We were ready, out of embarrassment. Lois was teacher of primary class, my class.
Lois was talking about salvation at the end of the lesson. Didn't bother me until she talked about fire--this hit me because of my brother. "You can avoid all of that by accepting Christ as your savior". Christ paid the price--to be in heaven. I sprinted, jumped out of aisle. Lois took me through the Romans road. 3:23, all sinned. 6:23, wages of sin is death, but gift of God is eternal life. I immediately asked Christ to be my savior. Immediate lifting of burden.
At school, I did show-and-tell, talked about what hell was and didn't want any classmates to go there.
Suggestions:
- Verses showing God's righteousness and judgement--needful to the judge sin.
- Give more detail about burn unit--wailing, verses on hell
- Only way to keep the wound clean--only way God can deal with sin

Hebrews 12:28 -
Chapter 12, wanted to do outline on whole thing, it goes together.
Background: writer is painting loving picture of God. Contrasting with the fear Israel had at Mt. Sinai with the grace we have approaching Mt. Zion. Different picture here in 25-29 than in preceding verses.
V25 warning to not refuse the Lord, referring to 3:16-19, where Israelites cannot enter promised land because of unbelief.
V26 another reference to the voice of the Lord shaking things
Reference to Haggai 2:6-9 about shaking the earth
V27 explains the promise from Haggai
The picture being painted is that the things that will remain are the things of Christ.
V28 assurance part, with command to show grace/gratitude. Grace in what? A call to have grace permeate our lives in general, not one specific area.
Serve: acceptably, reverence, godly fear - a constant carefulness
V29 not to believers, but God's attitude to those who are against him. Should inspire our attitude of grace when we consider how gracious God is to us, considering how fearful He should be to all who resist Him.

Hebrews 10:22
At first glance, this is a little complicated. Hoping to clarify by the time I'm done, break it down.
Context: Hebrews 10, talking about sacrifice. Under old covenant, sins are not taken away. Old covenant between God and Israel, new is between God and christians. Main teaching, animal sacrifices do not take away sin. Was to provide temporary covering of sins, also provide foreshadowing. Only way to take away sins was the perfect sacrifice, Christ.
Now that we know Jesus paved the way, we can draw near to God.
Five parts
1. Draw nearTo God, encouragement to get close to Christ. How? Prayer, all parts of worship, conversations with others, etc. How will you draw near? The necessary steps to a true prayer.
2. True heartTrue heart, without hypocrisy, embodies the truth. When we pray, we need to have a true heart. A true heart toward God, ourselves and others. Jer 17:9 - heart is deceitful. We cannot pray with a deceitful heart, pray for His will, not our own. Matt 6:10 - example of a true prayer.
3. Full assuranceBible dictionary -- no doubt in our acceptance to God. Sometimes we have doubts, so full assurance is more confidence in a faithful God, not having no doubts. What He has done, gives us confidence. God is always faithful.
4. Hearts sprinkled from evil conscienceBig word is sprinkled. Sprinkled actually means to be cleansed--verse makes more sense now. Indicates a consistent character and devout life toward God. What about the evil conscience? Big fan of Clue, murder mystery. When I think of evil conscience, a murderer in their mind, thinking of the evil thing they've done. This is the extreme though. Really, an evil conscience is just a guilty conscience--we have sinned. Because we have been cleansed…
5. Bodies washed with pure waterOur body is the outward man. When we are washed with a pure water, we're cleansed from all dirt. We are no longer condemned.
Through these things, we can finally achieve a true prayer.

Which would you rather? Sprinter or marathon runner?
Sprinters were more popular in school! Students didnt want to see the whole marathon, so a quick sprint was more popular!
The Christian life is, however, a marathon, not a sprint.
Hebrews tells us how to run the race. Hebrews 12:1-2
Why are we exhorted to run the race?
1. We have a great cloud of witnesses--men and women of faith who appear in previous chapter 11. They ran the race to receive the promises. Some seemed to not be triumphant--some suffered, died and appeared unvindicated.
2. While previous believers have run their race and shown us an example--we are not done yet!
We must lay aside every encumbrance and every sin. You never see a runner with dumbbells in his hand or a long, thick robe!
The author gives us Jesus as the best example of how to run. Though on earth, men did not recognize him, he was vindicated before God.
Paul looked to Jesus as in 1 Tim 6:13 Paul, tried before men like Niro, kept the faith by looking to Christ.
We are expected to be long-distance runners in faith. Look to Jesus and run!

Hebrews 10:22
Blessings of Christ as a high priest. OT detailed all the work of a high priest.
Under OT, it was just a covering for their sin, not a full payment. Now, we see the full payment made through Christ.
The high priests had to repeatedly do the work. Christ had to do it only ones.
Cross-ref: Heb. 10:1 - the opposite of whom was Christ who made a permanent sacrifice for a new covenant.
Access
Now we have access to Christ. Christ has opened the presence of God to us through His work.
Cleansing
We also have our whole being cleansed. Guilt accompanies every sin, but now we've been cleansed by Him.
Peter asked Jesus to wash all of him and Jesus said unless he would be cleansed he would have no part with Him. Being cleansed is like being sanitized. It's temporary for us when we sanitize our hands, for example! But the cleansing of Christ is forever.
Application: recognize our position in Christ.

Passage Matt 25:1-13
Section is about second coming, parables consecutively to emphasize one thing: be ready for His coming.
Each parable has its own emphasis. Comparing helps us understand the theme.
24:14-30 be ready because he will settle accounts
24:31-42 be ready because he will judge
24:42-51 be ready because it may be tonight
25:1-13 stay ready because it will not be tonight

Passage:
Forming of diamonds requires some very specific requirements and optimized things to make what is known as the hardest natural mineral.
- Graphite, unless tainted
- 100 miles below earth, in diamond stabilization zone
- High pressure
- High temperature, 2000 degrees
- Make a diamond in two weeks synthetically
- Because of the flood, diamonds are at the surface for us to get to
- Evolutionists thing it takes very long to make…?
Want to talk about the perfect things to make a diamond and how it relates to us: how we are made by high pressure--make us or break us. Pressure makes us to a beautiful thing for the Lord.
James 1:2-4

Holly, thanks for giving me some time to think and pray about sharing the gospel message at Steves funeral. I feel that I should not accept, however—I dont think that I am the right one. Please accept my apologies. I dont wish to disappoint you or Steve. But, I am trusting that this is from the Lord and that the outcome will be more honoring to Him and Steves remembrance this way.
