The Attributes Of God 'G' for Graciousness

All right. Well we've been going out through the attributes of God series on Sunday night Sunday morning specifically for the New Testament with Matthew the book of Matthew and the Sermon on the Mount.

And Sunday nights we usually do Old Testament or maybe some theology. We've been going through a series on the attributes of God the perfections of God his characteristics who he is and what he does. And we're up to the letter G.

So so far we've had a God is all-knowing. He's never learned anything in his entire existence. Be God is beautiful. There's he is a beautiful creation. No he would never be created. But he is beautiful by essence and by nature.

He is creator. See he has decrees are one eternal decree D is eternal. Is faithful. And tonight. G God is gracious. G grace. God is gracious. Therefore he bestows grace as well. And it is a very very important doctrine.

If you're off on this doctrine you're off on most things in the Christian faith. You could be matter fact eternally off on this doctrine. And so we want to make sure we understand what is the grace of God.

Decades ago now there was a conference and people were kind of debating Christianity. And is it unique that God became a man. And someone said well you know other religions teach some doctrines about a new reincarnation or resurrection.

And some other religions would believe that the dead would rise. And C .S. Lewis the popular defender of Christianity in the day he said this in C .S. Lewis style what's the rumpus about. I know why Christianity is unique.

He said it's matter fact easy. It's grace. What differentiates Christianity from all other religions is the doctrine of grace. And I have to admit in the last week I have love to study what the Bible calls grace.

It is great. The Bible says rich manifold sufficient abundance abundant glorious sovereign and exceeding. In this my opinion that we have so much angst in Christianity today specifically because we do not understand grace.

I love grace. When I was a kid if you did something with bad manners my father would say way to go grace. When I was a kid if we didn't pray then someone would say well why didn't you say grace. And I we had our fourth child that little one right there that needs to be obeying.

Oh she's coloring. Okay that's fine. And I thought you know what I love the name grace so much I'm gonna name her grace. Not after Grace Kelly but after grace. The concept in the Bible if you turn your Bibles to Ephesians chapter 2 for our jumping off point we want to see how important grace is.

So I can answer the question when we start why should we care about the doctrine of grace. Why is it important. And I want you to know that it is a doctrine it is something that comes from God that is to be shown to the entire world.

When I was in California I'd go to the beach and there'd be a big blimp or a big biplane and at the back of the biplane there would be a cable and attached to the cable would be one of those large banners ever seen one of those at the beach someplace advertising some kind of pumpernickel bread or who knows what they're advertising some kinda big beach party.

And here in Ephesians 2 you're gonna see that there's this demonstration this eternal demonstration this display that God is gracious that he wants everyone all creatures to know that very thing. And we'll back up a little bit in a moment.

But if you take a look at the context of Ephesians chapter 2 we're dead in our transgressions. Verse 5 by grace you've been saved he says parenthetically verse 6 raised up with him seated with him in heavenly places.

Why. Why is all that happened. Verse 7 in order that in the ages to come in the successive ages to come throughout all eternity he might show he might display he might demonstrate he might advertise if you will the surpassing riches of his what grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus.

God with his extraordinary extravagant grace wants it to be demonstrated to all those would care to even pay attention the demonstration of the ages God saves sinners through Christ death burial and resurrection.

One man called it God's publicity program. Interesting. And so tonight we want to look at this doctrine of grace in a strange way. The outline will be this several lies that help us understand grace biblically.

So we're gonna look at lies that are wrong. And then we'll look at the opposite of those lies to see what the Bible teaches about grace. And to quote Winston Churchill he said many occasionally stumble over the truth but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.

But for us today we want to look at this doctrine and say yes. That's true intellectually and God therefore make it true in my life in my worship my work etc lies about grace that will help us understand the truth.

This gonna be fun tonight. Better. By the way if you're here on Sunday mornings I ask a question. Please don't answer. But on Sunday night you can just go and raise your hand and we'll get some good input.

Grace Exposes the Myth of Human Choice in Salvation

Lie number one that should help us understand biblical concept of grace is this. Satan votes against your salvation. God votes for your salvation. And man cast the deciding vote. People heard that. Many people heard that.

Satan votes yes. Are you. God votes. Sorry. Easy for me to say Satan votes no. For salvation. God votes yes. And you cast the deciding vote. What's wrong with that. By the way. Okay. Defeats God's purpose of grace.

Good. Bruce makes God and Satan equal. Did you hear that somehow we've got these equal opposite forces yin and yang. Yes. Okay. It makes us equal with God. Good. Any other comments. Yes Steve. Well the problem is.

And Steve said for the tape purposes we would always lose. And if you'll turn your Bibles back there to Ephesians chapter 2 verse 1 we can't vote. We are spiritually. What dead. We need God's grace because we can't act.

Someone must act for us. And if you look at Ephesians 2 1 and you were dead in your trespasses and sins emphatic you you were dead. He says to the the church at Ephesus and here he gives this this one word this one monosyllabic word that defines and and describes men and women without Christ dead.

And you like the word dead in Greek. Does anybody know what it is. When I was in the operating room all the time and and they would operate on people and and do things and cut things and take things out and do ectomies and ologies and all kinds of other things.

I I learned very quickly that there was a kind of tissue that they would always cut out the dead tissue. And that dead tissue is also called. What kind of tissue. Yeah that's right. The necrotic tissue they always had to cut out.

That is the word here the necrosis the necros we were dead. This is not the figure of speech kind of dead. Like in the prodigal son my son was dead and now he's alive. This is really spiritually dead.

A matter of fact where we're so dead we can't vote. And if we were alive we would vote with. If we could vote. If you could cast the ballot if you could bypass the hanging chads if you could somehow register that you would always vote with Satan every single time.

If it wasn't for God's grace. Turn over while you're keeping your finger on Ephesians 2 turn over to 2nd Timothy chapter 2 verse 26. A verse that will blow your proverbial mind. If you don't think about it properly.

Everyone says somehow we have free will and and God doesn't want robots etc etc. They do not understand the fall. They do not understand what happened in the garden and in the garden. Eve and Adam were there.

Adam was the federal head. And he fell with his emotions with his intellect and his will. And his will is fallen. And it is captive to someone else. Even 2nd Timothy 2 26. What does it say there about our will outside of Christ having been held captive by him to do.

Whose will the unbeliever does. Satan's will. He is not free from his own sin. And he's especially not free from Satan's will. Show me an unbeliever. And I'll show you someone who thinks that they have autonomy who is actually a puppet or a pawn doing the work of Satan.

Matter fact. I could prove it another way. Go to John 844 if you'd like to hear from Christ himself. Here we have a even more weight of evidence to show that left to ourselves. A we could never vote. And if we could vote somehow being half alive are somehow semi-conscious.

We would always vote then with Satan. John 844. You know the context. Well you are of your father the devil. And you want to do the desires of your father. He says the false teachers. You're just a chip off the old block.

The apple does not fall too far from the tree. And if you get to vote you're voting with Satan. Satan one vote God another vote. You cast the dividing. The deciding ballot is not biblical at all. You are required to repent and believe.

Yes. But you need the grace of God. You need the favor of God to quicken you to save you. So then after you're saved you will say yes and vote in belief of Christ Jesus. Questions on that. So far he's will kinda build a little bit.

We could even dig into a little bit deeper and ask this question. Which we won't do because we've had a 10 part series on election. Does God even vote for everyone to be saved. So the problem is wrought the the the question is wrought with problems.

Why Grace Means God Does Not Help Those Who Help Themselves

Question number two. You like this one. God helps those who help themselves. God helps those who help themselves. Back to a fusion chapter 2. I rarely come up with anything new. I want to be like Derek Webb in his album who said I wanna be like a mockingbird.

I have nothing new to say from the pulpit. I just parrot the truth of God. When the pastor comes up with something new you know it's trouble. And so I did come up with a little slogan that is kind of new.

But that's all. It's nothing a on the Word of God. God helps those who help themselves. That's a lie. People help themselves to another helping of sin and lust. That's all they help themselves to. That's my original thought.

Would you like another helping of taco salad from Mo's. Yes please. And so people want to help themselves. They do. The only help they help themselves to is another helping of more sin. God helps those who help themselves.

No. Look at a fusion chapter 2 verse 3. Among them we too all formally lived the lust of our flesh indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind and were by nature children of wrath even as the rest.

Romans 8 says. The mind set on the flesh is death. Second Peter 2 says. Whatever a man is overcome by that he is enslaved. Man can't help himself. I have a question for you. True or false. Yes or no. The true or false would go this way.

The Ethiopian can change his skin. True or false. True or false. The leopard can change his spots. How can then the sinner the dead sinner the enslaved sinner change himself. We know that can't be. Romans 5 says.

We are help less. That's why we need grace. No graces needed. If you could help yourself. Here's a good definition of grace that's too long to write down. It helps destroy this idea that God somehow gives to people as they have earned it.

Scholar Mitton said this is the definition of grace. God's other generosity. Unselfish spontaneous recklessly prodigal generosity which acts wholly out of loving concern for his people's need even if they're completely unworthy of his love and help which he offers to them.

That's why God in first Peter 5 is called a God of all grace. Alright. Line number three. Any questions so far. Line number three. God grades on a curve. Kinda trick question. God grades on a curve. What do we think about that comment.

Anyone have a bell curve. And you know it's like in your fifth grade sixth grade just in school you bomb the test. But in your your generous kind heart you just hope more people bombed it than you did.

So you'll are more people bombed it worse than you did. So you'll get a good grade. Does God grade on a bell curve. Any comments. Well he maybe does great on a curve. But it's the bell curve of his holiness.

It's his curve. It's not in comparison to someone else. We are in comparison to God himself. That's why when I read a verse like Exodus 15. Who is like the O Lord among the gods. Who is like the majestic in holiness.

Terrible inglorious deeds doing wonders. One man called the holiness of God his utter unapproachability. I've heard it said that God is allergic to sin. I've heard it said that God and sin when they come into coexistence there is a nuclear spiritual winter.

How many sins did it take for Adam and Eve to be thrown out of the garden. How many sins did it take for Moses to not enter the promised land. How many sins did it take for Elisha's servant to be smashed with leprosy.

How many sins did it take for Ananias and Sapphira to be buried one sin. So what do we do with this great God this holy God who's too pure to look upon evil. How do we. How do we stand in his presence.

What do we do. And John Gershner said could God help us. Possibly God that is the most preposterous appeal of all. It is against him that we have done all the sinning. It was his law we violated. It was his commands we disobeyed.

It was his image we had ruined. It was his purposes. We were seeking to frustrate. It was under his wrath we are now. It was under his wrath we now are. It was his awful judgment from which we were seeking escape.

Why would God ever rescue us from the judgment in which he had placed us. Answer. Because he's not just holy. He is gracious. And if you go back to Ephesians chapter 2 you'll see that in a whole section there that talks about his mercy his grace his love.

Ephesians 2 for but God being rich in mercy. Because it is great love with which he loved us even when we were dead in trespasses he made us alive together with Christ. By grace you have been saved. It's amazing that God could have just been just.

Faith Is the Means, Not the Cause, of Salvation

But no he was more than that. He was a God of grace. Line number four. Alright here we go. You know all these other ones. You probably know this one too. But it's very important. I think for our review line number four that would make us somehow look poorly upon grace if we believe this lie ready.

Line number four. Faith is the cause of salvation. Faith is the cause of salvation. That's a lie. Faith is the cause of salvation. Why is it a lie. Maybe you disagree with me. Why do you think it isn't a lie.

Yes gladden. Okay. Good. Let's go back to Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8. Faith is not the cause of salvation. You were not saved because of your faith. Sadly many evangelicals have bought into that. And it's more papish than it is evangelical.

But Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8. For by grace you have been saved through faith. He could have said you but you're saved by grace. But he does it. Interesting. Word order for emphasis. He says for by grace to put it up front to push it to the front.

So you have the right kind of perspective. For by grace you have been saved. To show with word order that is entirely of grace. So God gets all the glory. You have been saved through faith. Now there we go.

Do do you see in your and I'd like to know if anybody's translation says you are saved because of faith. Anybody have that translation. Does it say in anyone's translation you have been saved on account of faith.

Josh yours. Does you just stretching your arm. Okay. I was gonna have a panic attack thinking somebody's got a Bible here in the church the the revised standard perversion or something that says on account of faith.

You are not saved because of faith. You are not saved on account of faith. You're saved through faith. And there's all the difference of the world eternal worlds. For that very thing through faith it's not a the ground.

For it's not a cause. Faith true or false is the cause of your salvation. True or false faith is the result of your salvation. One denies grace. The other one embraces grace. And if you take a look at the reason if you wanna know why you're saved on account of because of it's earlier in the section in Ephesians 2 verse 4 but God being rich in mercy.

Because you wanna know why you're saved. Because it's right there in 2 for because it is what great love with which he loved us. The Greek is very precise very precise. And in Ephesians 2 8 the means is faith.

The cause is not faith. The cause is God's love. I love to think about exodus. When I think of faith we might wanna flip over there because it's so wonderful. Exodus chapter 14 to show that God gets the glory to make sure that when you get to heaven you are saying to God I'm here because of grace.

And my faith was was not even meritorious. Exodus chapter 14. Here's a good picture of how God saves. And it's all of God. It is all done by God. We don't do anything except respond. Exodus chapter 14.

Then the Egyptians chased after them with all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh his horsemen and his army. And they overtook them camping by the sea besides two funny named mountains. There's no way out seas on one side the mountains are on the two other sides and Pharaoh and his hordes are behind.

So in front you've got the sea. On the side you've got the two mountains and behind is Pharaoh. How do you get out. There's no way out. There's absolutely no way to get out children ladies. Verse 13. But Moses said to the people do not fear.

And what a great encapsulation of even spiritual salvation. Here it's temporal. But it's the same thing stand by and see the salvation of the Lord with the instrument of faith. And this time it's not faith it's actually seen.

It's by sight which he will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you have seen today you will never see them again. Verse 21. Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea and the Lord swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night and turned the sea into dry land so the waters were divided.

What a great picture of salvation. There's nothing you could do. You're in a corner as it were. You're in a tight spot and God must come to the rescue. How can a dead person have some kind of committing confident faith can't.

God has to save. And then we respond with faith. I could say a lot about this and I think I have in the 10-week series on election. But Thomas Hooker said God justifies the believing man not for the worthiness of his belief but for the worthiness of him and whom he believes.

It is not our contribution faith it is our response to what God has done. We contribute nothing except what sin. We cannot save ourselves even by our own faith by grace. You've been saved through faith not because of faith.

And if you look back at Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8 and that not of yourself whether it's faith whether it's salvation whether it's all of it it is the gift of God. And if you look down at verse 9 of chapter 2 why is all this happening so that no one should boast.

When you stand before God and heaven he says why it. Why are you gonna be in heaven. Well God you've saved me and you've I sent your son to die my place raise him three days later from the dead. And and I embrace that.

And I'm all my friends they didn't believe. But I had the personal wherewithal and I had the the inside and I studied hard. And and I believe that my friend didn't somehow high-fiving yourself and patting yourself on the back and self-congratulatory.

It just doesn't make sense. If God sacrifices his son don't you think that he would be zealous as Isaiah says for his own glory. That's why when we have discipleship here at church I tell the young man and the older men who come when you give your testimony please do not ever start your testimony and begin to talk about your faith by saying these things.

I know we've all done. I've done it but I try not to do it anymore because it's misguided. Don't say I accepted Jesus. I decided I walked the aisle I received. Why don't you put it in Ephesians two terms.

I was dead in trespasses and sins. But God rich in mercy with great love. He saved me. He saved me. He saved me from my sins. He gave me faith. He gave me the Holy Spirit. And the list goes on and on.

I like to give my testimony where God is active and I am passive. God is the actor. I am the one acted upon. It is not God up in heaven tapping his toes going. You know what if Mike would just believe that I could possibly save him.

God has never taps his toes number one whether they're met. Metaphorical toes are spiritual toes. Of course those are all stupid questions. God is not there waiting for us to do something. God is the initiator.

Is Jesus called the author of our salvation. Is he called the alpha. Yes he is. We cannot pull ourselves out of the own muck muck and mire of sin. We have no boasting there. As you've heard me quote my brother often you will not get to heaven one day.

And high-five God and scream out. We did it. And our faith we have to remember is a gift. It is not the cause. It's one of the things that transform my mind and my life. When I realized it wasn't my even my own faith that that was a gift.

When you first get saved you're all semi-pelagian. We all are. When you first get saved you're thinking you know what I I'll use grace terms. It's all of grace. It's all unmerited favors. All demerited favor.

It's all this all of God. But he did all that. And now he's waiting for me to believe. That's not what the text says. And you say all. But revelation chapter 3 says that when we turn there just for a minute to see if it's true.

Revelation chapter 3 verse 20. Why are all our favorite verses in evangelicalism. Why are they all taken out of context and misquoted. John 316 is one that sometimes is misquoted but most the time. At least that's got enough words that we get the context.

But revelation chapter 3 verse 20 somehow people jam this in. So they think you know I mean I was taught this as a kid. Weren't you. I could sing the song. Even I won't do that because that would not be gracious to you.

But you know behold behold I stand at the door and knock knock knock. If anyone hears my voice I will open open open right off you go. Well there's a context for all this. Behold I stand at the door and knock.

If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come in to him and we'll dine with him. And he with me. Jesus is a gentleman. He's not gonna force his will. That would be unloving. How many times have you heard that.

I hear it all the time. Turn on radio. You'll hear it. Somehow Jesus has to be a gentleman. And you have to decide friends. Ephesians 2 says we're dead. We're not going to decide. Furthermore this verse has nothing to do with that.

Here's a church. This church says we're Christians. We all believe in Jesus. But Jesus says I don't believe in you. There's one thing more important than you accepting Jesus in your heart. And that's Jesus accepting you in his heart.

And he doesn't accept you in his heart unless you pay homage to him and believe in him and worship him in this church. Here doesn't. And he stands outside of this apostate church. He's outside of the church in Murray says in one of my top five all-time books outside the Bible that if you haven't read this is one of my top five the forgotten Spurgeon.

It's not just about Spurgeon. It's about God-centered theology. He's talking about counseling and youth work. Quote for example a booklet which is much circulated in student evangelism at the present time lays down three simple steps to becoming a Christian.

First personal acknowledgement of sin. Second personal belief in Christ's substitutionary work. These two are described as preliminary but the third so final that to take it will make me a Christian. Murray says I must come to Christ and claim my personal share in what he did for everybody.

This all-decisive third step. Rest with me. Christ waits patiently until I open the door. Then he will come in. Once I have done this I may immediately regard myself as a Christian. The advice follows.

Tell somebody today what you have just done. End quote. Study that passage in revelation 320. And you'll find it has nothing to do with personal evangelism. Our salvation. Yes. To do with this apostate church in Jesus saying I'm not in that church.

Somebody get saved. I'll come in. That's certainly true. Also found in the same vein just as I am written in 1836 by Charlotte Elliott. I mean people know just as I am. We probably have some people here that have walked the aisle to just as I am the 50th chorus.

You probably walk the aisle. Right. Did you know where it says just as I am without one plea but that thy blood was shed for me and that thou didst bid me come to thee O Lamb of God. I come I come. We try to tell people all come down the aisle.

But did you know that miss Elliott wrote that hymn for people that couldn't walk. And the driving point for that issue is this. It's not coming to the front of some. I'll to from some front of some stage.

It's coming to the Savior. It is the idea where you have to come in faith. It's amazing to me. What makes you a Christian. Why are you a Christian. Because if your faith no because of the grace of God.

Grace Produces Humility, Not Self-Exaltation

Line number five gets better or maybe worse without. Well I've got to set it up in the form of a lie. It's hard to do. How do I set this up in the form of a lie. Alright so skip the lie part. Here's the deviation.

But for the grace of God we would be no better than Judas Herod Jezebel and Hitler. But for the grace of God everyone in here myself included would be no better and maybe worse than Judas Herod Jezebel and Hitler.

Grace is a divine sovereign act of favor. We don't talk this way anymore. John Newton hears his epitaph written with his own hand. Anybody ever heard it. He understood it. He understood as he would say to himself.

I was the man that split up these people the children from their parents and the wives from their fathers. And it would haunt him what he did when he was unsaved. John Newton clerk once an infidel in Libertine was by the rich mercy of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ preserved restored pardoned and appointed to preach the faith he had long labor to destroy.

And that strike you does me turn to first Timothy chapter one. If that doesn't strike you. Well let's look at Paul's. Let's look at Paul's not epitaph. But it could just as well have been if we're comparing him to John Newton.

And when I think of grace you have to remember what pink says. If you think of grace you have to mean that the recipient has no claim upon what God has done. Its charity. Pure charity. Think would say look at first Timothy chapter 1 verse 12.

And wait till you spot the word grace. You'll see it first Timothy 112. I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has strengthened me because he considered me faithful putting me in the service even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor.

I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace there it is of our Lord was more than abundant with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners among whom I am foremost of all we are no better than someone who's a horrible sinner.

By the way when I think of this it has helped me when I look at sinners who are the scum of the earth. Who are the worst people in your in your life that you know of that. Maybe you see begging for food outside your work.

Maybe they're prostitutes. Maybe they're homosexual. I don't know who's the worst in your mind. It is only by the grace of God that you are in your condition. Or you'd be just like them. I go to India and I see the well actually more than a billion now people.

I just look at them and I drive by these weird shrines and sometimes strange erotic shrines and things that I just think I can't believe these people are doing that. If you think of grace properly you will never say I'm better than those people.

I'm somehow way past that a proper understanding of grace helps me with my pride. It helps me see sinners who need God's grace. Lie number six. Legalism is better than antinomianism. That is to say keeping the law is somehow or adding to the law is better than somehow minimizing the law.

Now lots of times in the Bible legalism is going to talk about adding things to grace regarding salvation. Let me just talk about this a little bit with sanctification. Let's see how can I really push the buttons tonight be the best way to do that.

Usually provocative statements some kind of hyperbole something like that. Alright here it comes. You know me. For those visitors here. Sorry Joey brought your family tonight. I want you to think about this.

We'll back up if you wanna damn your kids to eternal hell. I've got a lot of explaining to do after this. Let them watch leave it to beaver and veggie tales every single day and tell them that's real religion.

I like leave it to beaver. I'd rather have my kids watch leave it to beaver than super sinful ninja turtles or whatever they're called. I don't know what they are. I mean I have no idea what's even on TV.

I'm not after cartoons. I'm not after TV. I'm not after that demonic box that you put in your house. I'm not after any of that. It has nothing to do with TV. But friends we at this church if we saw someone who was licentious and who was loose in their living and it would go around and disregard all the laws of the civic arena and all the laws of morality we would know at this church that is wrong and that is bad.

And God has given these people away. But what we don't realize if we somehow get grace out of focus even though subtracting from the law of God and living loose. Lee is bad. It is just as bad to somehow have rules of sanctification that are added because they also hurt grace.

Mark. Well and I and you with your background to correct me if I'm wrong with things like you know what Christianity is defined by what we don't do. And here's how we we show. We're favored of God. We don't see movies right.

Especially you know R rated movies. Or we don't go to the theater the passion pit. It's okay to rent whatever we want our own home. We have different rules. We don't smoke right. And we don't drink right.

We we we don't hold hands when we're dating etc etc etc. Now back to the comment about VeggieTales and leave it to beaver. I let my kids watch VeggieTales. VeggieTales. But I tell them there's no gospel in VeggieTales.

And they usually throw a verse out of the end. That's completely out of context that has nothing about the gospel. We live because of the gospel. We're not just justified by the gospel. We are also sanctified by the gospel.

Yes we have to be. It's Galatians chapter 3. You're gonna start running well with the gospel. But then all the sudden once we're running well yeah we'll kinda back up a little bit. We'll just have a bunch of rules.

Me we have to be careful. Lawlessness is just as bad as adding rules. All said in Galatians 3. .1 you foolish Galatians who has bewitched you before whose eyes Jesus was publicly portrayed crucified. Who's tricked you.

I'm the one Paul says who preached to you publicly. I've told you the right gospel. And some kind of sorcerer some kinda magician some kind of a person has come along and seduced you. He says don't do that when he calls him foolish.

That's not the word moron that he usually calls people who are foolish and deficient in their brains. He uses the word anatas which means you know better. You can think but you won't think. That's the word he uses.

I heard my friend Boo Yawn preach the other day and I thought it was very insightful. He said he was driving down the street and some guy had his arm out of the door and the guy had a huge big tattoo.
