Sunday Morning Worship Service July 12, 2020

Well, good morning. Good to see you on this Lord's Day. Beautiful day. The Lord has given us today and Looking forward to our worshiping the Lord together and hearing from his word that will I think challenge us and encourage us in our different areas of responsibility In our jobs or careers, whatever the Lord has given to us to do as a way of serving him.

Before we begin the service just some announcements to share. One I as we've mentioned tonight will be resuming our evening service at six o 'clock. This will be a Different structure a little bit. It'll be shorter there.

We won't have a bunch of songs and so forth and So just we'll just open with a song and I'll get right into our message for tonight and tonight's message is really kind of Built on this morning's message because our text this morning in Ephesians 6 begins talking about bond servants or servants and the the Greek word is the word doulos and it can apply to it can apply to a variety of kinds of bond servants from Indentured slaves to slaves that have been sold on a slave market or whatever.

So I didn't want to spend a lot of time talking about slavery in the morning service but I did want to talk about it because it's obviously a really hot topic in the culture today and so tonight in the evening service, I'll take some time to talk about slavery in the scriptures and See what the Bible has to say Subjects that'll be at six o 'clock tonight and Service will not be any longer will not be more than an hour long.

So during the week, I'm continuing to do the daily devotions. I hope you're able to watch those if you can't watch them when they air at Noon or six o 'clock on Facebook. You can always watch them. They're always always aired live on Facebook as well as the other things you see that on the right side of your Bulletin, there's a stay connected column and it tells you where you can see those live.

But those also are recordings that just stay on The church website so you can watch those at any time. If you can't get there at 12 or at 6, so that's every day Monday through Friday and then Wednesday night at 7 o 'clock we meet in the fellowship hall and started last Wednesday night with a video series entitled epic and The nature of this series is each week the host takes us to different places in the world looking for artifacts related to the history of Christianity and so it's interesting approach to church history and last week we went to where'd we go Jerusalem and Italy and this Wednesday will Be going to England.

So I look forward to that a bunch of other things There in your bulletin that you can read and note for yourself and not pay it not point those out to you. But do take the time to note those if you will.

Worshiping the Lord and Calling the Congregation to Praise

So I've come together today to worship the Lord and want to begin with the Lord calling us to worship from Psalm 717 where the psalmist says I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most high and let's do just that we'll sing praise to the Lord the Almighty Jim, please come with us.

Thank You pastor number 26. In your hymnals number 26 Praise to the Lord the Almighty there's four verses. We're just gonna sing the first three one through three of number 26. Let's all stand together, please and sing praise to the Lord the Almighty.

First in our lives, right? Maybe let that Word of God settle in our hearts help us to know that your word is everlasting Eternal father. We praise your holy name pray now that as we worship you that We would worship you in spirit and in truth.

We pray these things in Jesus name.

Amen, you may be seated. So Psalm reading want to read portion of Psalm 139 verses 13 through 19. One of the underlying presuppositions of the exhortations that Paul is going to give to servants and masters and Ephesians is the truth that God in his providence and in his sovereignty has Created us and placed us in this world.

He's called us to our callings and this section of the psalm talks about God creating and making us and His thoughts toward us. So follow along as I read Psalm 139 verses 13 through 19. Says for thou hast possessed my reins.

Thou has covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are thy works and that my soul knoweth right? Well, my substance was not hid from thee when I was made in secret and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Thine eyes did see my substance yet being unperfect and in thy book All my members were written which in continuance were fashioned when as yet there was none of them. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me?

Oh God, how great is the sum of them if I should count them. They are more in number than the sand. When I am awake when I awake I am still with thee. Surely thou wilt slay the wicked. Oh God Depart from me.

Therefore you bloody men the Lord add his blessing to the reading of his word Jim.

Take your song supplement books number 61. In your blue books Number 61 the sovereign God will sing verses 1 and 3 of the sovereign was the sovereign God. Oh sovereign God Eternal King your reign in over Everything the highest King The weakest hour are ever subject to your power.

So sovereign God I trust your plan You know the ways of every man. Eternal King to you above I give my heart to be your throne life You know my days My feeble plans are not your ways. If blessings come or hardships fall My sovereign father knows them all.

So sovereign God I trust your plan You know the ways of it.

Remain.

Eternal King to you alone. I give my heart to be.

Some prayer together today and then after prayer we'll have another another song. It'll just be one stanza of a song and during that stanza We will have children's church available again today starting today.

So Lynn will be leading that so during that song. Children ages 4 through 8 are free to go to children's church as we pray together today. Came across this psalm this morning in my reading. I thought was very appropriate regarding current events.

Psalms are often prayers, you know, and the psalmist wrote this. He said why does the wicked renounce God and say in his heart? You will not call to account. But you do see for you note mischief and vexation that you may take it into your hands.

To you the helpless commits himself. You have been the helper of the fatherless. Break the arm of the wicked Eve and evildoer. Call his wickedness to account till you find none. I think that is certainly an appropriate prayer for us to pray in.

Our.

Society in our culture today that the Lord would break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer and Call his wickedness to account the Lord does see and he notes the mischief and the vexation that is being caused in our nation and We should and can and should pray for the Lord to deal with all of that sort of thing.

And we also want to pray for the hynix our missionaries the week this week in Costa Rica. I got an email from Mark the other day and he mentioned that there have been a tremendous number of illegal immigrants coming into Costa Rica violating the border borders of the of the nation's and a lot of those who have come in have been apparently been infected with the coronavirus and there is therefore been a surge of this Virus in Costa Rica and consequently the government has Really clamped down and locked down everything again the complication for the hynix and this was the reason for the the email.

Is that their daughter Elizabeth is a student at Bob Jones and they are having on campus classes beginning resuming in the middle of August, I believe it is and And So Elizabeth needs to get from Costa Rica back to the States.

However The borders are all closed. She was however able to get a ticket on a repatriation flight for this Wednesday so that's a praise the problem is that You can only travel on Certain days according to your license plate number in Costa Rica and the hynix Travel day is on Monday.

They're only allowed to travel on Just to pray that they can find someone who is able to travel on Wednesday. So that Elizabeth their daughter can get that repatriation flight and get back to the United States.

If she can't do that, they don't know what what will come of it. So so pray for the hynix in those restrictions also asked to pray for for Janet Who is driving from Wisconsin to North Carolina this week and then back driving alone?

So pray for her as she travels to Wisconsin from Wisconsin to North Carolina and then back home the following week. And then continue to pray for Bob Klein. He Has his next round of chemo starting tomorrow and and that'll be a couple hours long.

So pray for him. Continue to pray for Kent glad that he's here today, but he's been Difficult week for Kent physically and then for Maxine Gomer Chuck just mentioned to me this morning Maxine Had a fall this morning.

She was out sweeping her porch and took a tumble and they think maybe fractured her wrist hit her head and apparently Has some bleeding in in the in the brain and so they are transporting her to Peoria even now.

So we want to pray for Maxine that God would be gracious to her and give her healing. Let's look to the Lord in prayer. Shall we? So our Father and our God we are Grateful that you are the sovereign God.

We read of that in Psalm 139 you sovereignly providentially Arranged even our very our very individual distinct characteristics as people. You're also a God who's sovereign over all the nations and even our own and What's happening in this nation today?

The division the strife the violence the anger the hatred the vulgarity the.

The.

Damage that's being caused unnecessarily. Lord, you know, all of these things. None of this escapes your your knowledge you see it all and Father we we trust in you as the sovereign God That you have your purposes for allowing all of this to take place.

We are a nation that is accountable to you and We certainly Certainly have done much in the last half century To raise your ire as a nation officially Sanctioning that which is abhorrent Sanctioning the murder of innocent babies.

Father, it's so much more so much more and It is indeed true that as a nation We deserve a lot of the chaos that we're getting. Father, we don't ask that you give what is deserved. We ask for mercy upon our people upon our nation.

There are a host of people who are Who have done nothing amiss in terms of other people and the way they're being treated and yet are suffering greatly. You who are the father to the fatherless? I pray that in your compassion and in your mercy you would look down upon us as a nation and That you would indeed break the arm of the wicked and those who are evildoers and Pray that you would call their wickedness to account.

I Pray that you would bring humbling and bring law and order Restore it. I pray Bring these ones to account Father restore peace to our land we pray. You have told us to pray to that end. You told us to pray for our Leaders are those an authority over us that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness.

And we do pray to that end today. We also pray father for your people who are in need. We think of Maxine today and just ask that you would be gracious to her. That you would give healing to her body and I pray that the whatever problems are Existing of that fall.

They would be discovered quickly and could be Remedied quickly. We pray for her health for her vitality. We pray this also for Bob Klein and ask that you would Give him grace as he endures undergoes the chemotherapy and the difficulty that's often associated with that.

Continue to strengthen Kent's body. We pray we ask for we ask for grace for him and father, we we would pray for Janet as she travels this week and I asked for journeying mercies for her and I pray that she visits with these friends and loved ones from Ministry of in the past that you would give a wonderful time for all and father.

We pray for Elizabeth Heineck that she would be would be able to get on that flight back to the States on Wednesday. Provide transportation for her to get to the airport and I pray that all of that would be worked out smoothly.

We asked for grace there as well. A father as you have brought us together to this place today again, we ask that you would meet with us. You would challenge us Courage us with your word. We commit all of these things to you in the name of Jesus our Savior.

Take your hymnals once again and turn to number 548 548 servants heart and as pastor mentioned just going to be singing one verse the first verse of Sir, let's all stand together, please as we Sing 548 together.

Here's my life. Take every part. Give me Lord a service. Help me draw so close to you. Let your love come shining through. Give me Lord a service. Give me Lord.

Ephesians 6:5-9 and the Christian Work Ethic

Scripture reading this morning for our message text is Ephesians chapter 6 we've indicated and verses 5 through 9. Agents chapter 6 verses 5 through 9 encourage you to follow along your copy of scriptures.

I read these five verses in the context of this passage all has been applying the subject of submission. Mutual submission started that back in chapter 5 verse 21 Said submitting yourselves to one another in the fear of God.

He's applied this topic of submission in the husband-wife relationship. Also in the parent-child relationship and now in this servant master relationship. So verse 5 Servants he writes be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling in singleness of your heart as unto Christ.

Not with I service as men pleasers, but as the servants of Christ doing the will of God from the heart. With goodwill doing service as to the Lord and not to men knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth the same shall he receive of the Lord whether he be bond or free.

And He masters do the same things unto them forbearing threatening. Knowing that your master also is in heaven. Neither is their respective persons with him. Let's ask God to speak to us through this passage.

Father our word your word is open before us. We pray that our hearts would be open to it. Speak to us we pray in Jesus name. Amen. Several years ago. I read an article that Reported this said quote a dark cloud of dissatisfaction blankets today's workforce.

Only one in ten workers say they are satisfied with their jobs. For the overwhelming majority work is dull and meaningless. This pervasive discontent has spawned the paradoxical problems of laziness on the one hand and overwork on the other.

Patterson and Kim in their book the day America told the truth tell us that only one in four employees gives his or her best effort on the job and That 20 of the average workers time is wasted. The work needs a gospel transformation.

It's kind of transformation that Paul is calling for here in this passage in Ephesians 6 verses 5 through 9 now to be absolutely clear. Make sure we understand Paul is addressing the first century relationship that exists between servants and masters and Again, I'm not going to go into that relationship and all the various Possibilities of the types of those relationships.

We'll talk about that tonight. But that relationship that existed in the first century is not one that exists in the 21st century. Thank God the.

Whole.

Whole institution of slavery in any form in our nation has been has been Eradicated and we are we are grateful for that but the principles that are called for here the ideas that the exhortations that Paul gives to the respective participants in this servant master relationship our principles that do apply in the workplace because Even though Even though your employer is not your master in a slavery kind of institutional way There is a certain measure of authority and control that your employer would have over you and understandably rightfully so and Likewise though you are not a slave to your to the company or the the employer that you work for.

Though maybe at times you feel that way You're really not you have the freedom to quit anytime you want to and you say well, it'd be too hard. I can't do it I gotta have this job. Well, you still can walk away from it If you want to you wouldn't have that option if you were truly a slave.

But nevertheless in that role as an employee There are responsibilities you have to that employer if you want to keep your job. So the the counsel that Paul gives here to Slaves to bond servants or slaves or servants of any kind to their master and the master to the servant.

Their principles that carry over in our day as well. So these duties as I mentioned earlier, they continue the theme that Paul Began back in chapter 5 verse 21 where there is to be a mutual submission one to another.

We should also understand that Paul is speaking here to To the church at Ephesus. So when he writes to servants bond servants here in verse 5 and addresses them he's addressing bond servants that are believers in Christ followers of Jesus and When he addresses masters in verse 9, he's addressing Christian masters and In some cases probably in the majority of the cases that Paul is talking about speaking to here both the both the bond servant and the master are in the same household and both are believers and they have a they have a responsibility to as believers in Christ as followers of Christ.

And.

Yet that's not exclusively. So in other words, there would have been bond servants That were not serving Christian masters. They served in pagan houses In Christ and we're now a part of this church and likewise There are masters who have bond servants and their servants themselves May not have come to Christ.

So it doesn't matter whether you are serving in a Christian company or not if you're an employer. It doesn't matter if you have Christian employees or not.

The.

Principles are for you. Their principles are for us in our day. So notice first of all in verses 5 through 8 that employees have a duty they have a responsibility to their employer. And the Basic duty is spelled out here in verse 5 when Paul said servants be obedient to them.

Are your masters? Be obedient to them. Oh. As an employee you need to obey your employer and That demands of us. We accept the nature of the relationship that exists here. The relationship is a servant to a master a One who is one who is in a position of authority and one who is in a position under.

The.

The.

Exhortation servants to obey the masters is an exhortation that parallels the Exhortation that Paul gives to children back in verse 1. He says children obey your parents so just as the child is to obey his parent and just as the just as the child is to obey the parent the Servant is to obey the master.

There is a relationship here that needs to be accepted and That that is a fundamental of the workplace that is often Causes a great deal of chafing doesn't it? Employee employees, especially it seems in recent generations Employees do not like the notion that they have to be under somebody's authority.

Employers have tried to Accommodate that to some degree and a lot of companies they have what they call collaborative teams and They they kind of communicate the idea that everybody is an equal. But even still in a collaborative team that isn't Really true because every collaborative team has a team lead.

Somebody is responsible to lead the team somebody sits at the desk when the team is gathered around the table and Records the the different ideas and the decisions and so forth and doles out the different areas of responsibility somebody is still in that position of leadership, so that's a the nature of that relationship that needs to be Accepted and we have as believers in Christ should be ready and willing to accept that quite quickly quite readily.

We also need to accept the legitimacy of this Relationship not only the nature of it but the legitimacy of it. Paul says in verse 5 be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh. The ESV translates that your earthly masters your earthly masters and again Some Christians are not really very good at this when they work for non-christian employers.

I Have come across some believers who have had the attitude that you know, my only master is Christ. Christ is my master and no man is going to be my master. I'm not going to be the slave to any man and They may not say it quite so bluntly they demonstrate it more in their actions with things like If you have a company if you would have a company that has a dress code and that dress code that prohibits the wearing of religious jewelry or Any kind of a garment that would that would have a display of verbal display on it that Wants to declare some kind of religious position and the company's policy is across the board so they don't care whether you are Jehovah's Witness or a Mormon or a Christian or a Muslim they don't care.

It's just across the board. Some Christians seem to have the attitude. Hey, I don't care what my employer says. I have a First Amendment right freedom of speech and all that kind of stuff and besides that Christ has given me that the Responsibility to be a witness and so I'm going to wear my cross Jewelry, and I'm gonna wear this t-shirt that says God so loved the world He gave his only begotten Son because I am to be a witness.

Well, one of the ways you witness as an employee is by following Paul's exhortation to obey your masters according to the flesh and realize that they have a legitimate role as Earthly masters to To tell you what to do to have such such a policies and Regulations in place they have that respond.

They have that right. They have that responsibility. I should say as well so as an employee You're responsible your duty is to obey your employer. But there's more to it than that. Because as you well know especially those of you who are parents and have had children who have.

Obeyed.

Because they had to obey. You know what I'm saying, right? The the the stereotypical joke of the The child that has been told to sit down and he's standing up and the parent keeps telling him to sit down in his seat Don't stand that you're in your chair at the table.

And finally the child Under threat of some kind of punishment sits down on the chair and he says I'm sitting down on the outside But I'm standing up on the inside. Well that compliance is a form of obedience.

But that's not the kind of attitude that Paul is calling for here. In fact as you continue on in this passage, you see that you need to do more than merely Obey. The obedience that Paul is calling for has Five different descriptors that we could add to it.

So first of all notice your obedience needs to be diligent. You need to obey Diligently he says here in verse 5 Oh, but be obedient to those who are your masters according to flesh with fear and trembling with fear and trembling.

Now what he's not calling for here or what? He's not suggesting here is that the master, you know, you don't have the image of the the negative image of the.

1850s.

Southern plantation. Slaveholder. Who Who was on horseback with his whip and would go around to his? Slaves. And anyone that wasn't picking cotton fast enough. He'd whip him with the whip. Don't have that imagery here that that you need to be that kind of a slave who's with fear of trembling.

Pull. Pulling the bowls off the cotton. No. What he's calling for here is a kind of respect That results in a diligence in the in the labor. This is exactly the thing that is befitting anyone who is given a responsibility On.

As a believer in Christ remember Paul said in Philippians 2 12, he said work out your own salvation. With what. With fear and trembling. Now it wasn't say work for your salvation with fear and trembling.

He's saying work out as you as you as a Christian live on this planet. You are to let the fact that you are a Christian let the fact that you're saved. You need to let that work out. You need to let that be Demonstrated in every facet of your life and do so with fear and trembling that is diligently.

Earnestly.

So in the workplace how that Practically applies is that you as an employee? Need to be truly concerned. Not just not just giving lip service to but being truly concerned With meeting the standards and the requirements that your employer has for your particular job.

For example I'm not I'm not doing the chaplain work at micron anymore. I gave that up at the end of the year for a lot of reasons. But when I was you know micron is a factory that builds transformers and there are lines automated lines where these different pieces come down the lines and The employer based on all its research established rate quotas for for the different sizes of transformers.

And they said you know we we need to be able to reach this rate per hour for these this kind of transformer. Well, you know some of the employees there They were really nonchalant about it. They almost like couldn't kind of kind of couldn't care less others were far more diligent in wanting to meet peace rate and Main reason they wanted to meet it was because if they met peace rate frequently enough, then there was a bonus Financial bonus and involved but as a Christian employee, how do you handle such things?

Do you do you say it's just arbitrary you know they're just trying to drive. It's like a bunch of slaves and all that or do you take it seriously if? You obey with fear and trembling then you look at that kind of a requirement that kind of standard as As a legitimate thing for them to do and you are concerned about doing your part Diligently to meet those kinds of standards.

Same with things like product quality standards and and so on and so forth and different different Types of employment different types of work have different kinds of standards different kinds of requirements the Christian employee sees those things and is really concerned about meeting them doesn't just doesn't just brush them off and also this idea of obeying with fear and trembling Has with it the awareness of a legitimate Accountability that the employee has to his employer in other words he Recognizes He's wise.

He recognizes my employer has the has the right and even the responsibility to Give me an evaluation to evaluate me and to see how am I doing? According to the requirements and the standards of my particular job I'm accountable.

I will be held accountable. So as an employee you do more than merely obey. You obey diligently and then the last part of verse 5 says do so with fear and trembling in singleness of your heart that is sincerely Chrissy Employees can be good Hypocrites, right?

You've heard the criticism. I don't want to go to church is filled with a bunch of hypocrites. But do you go to work every day? Because the the office or the factory or the place of employment wherever that is Can also be filled with a bunch of hypocrites, you know that you've you've met them.

I hope you haven't been one. I Sincerely don't believe you would be but you have met them at the workplace. Haven't you? These are the these are the employees that you know When the boss is around and when they're being looked at they they feign this loyalty to the company.

You know, they're a good loyal Employee and you can count on them and all the rest of that kind of stuff but then as soon as the As soon as the spotlight is taken away from them and they're not under the they're not under the gun anymore.

They turn to backstabbing they turn to you know, they undermine they will they may undermine the The supervisor they may talk bad about him and all that kind of stuff. So on the one hand there, they're pretending to be real loyal.

But on the other hand, they're backstabbing and they're undermining that's hypocrisy. That's not obeying with sincerity and another way that we can violate this obedience of sing in singleness of heart is when we're just so focused on our agenda.

Rather than the bigger picture of the of the employer that I'm working for for example, I remember a guy Church, I served who had a very responsible position in this company. He he would have been looked at as more one of the masters if you will in this relation to this dynamic.

And he had people working under him. And I remember him telling one time that this new guy came on this came on the job and in the first week the the employee had to sit down with the guy in my church and Had kind of like an entry interview dialogue kind of thing kind of just to get to know you sort of a thing and one of the first things the employee said to his supervisor the guy in my church was Just so you know I'm out for your job.

I'm gonna get your job well that tells you what this guy is going to be focusing on in the carrying out of his duties and responsibilities and as I understand. As I recall that employee didn't last long and he never did get the guy's job but.

But there there's that kind of an attitude that employees can have in the workplace. They're so focused on what they want. They're so focused on Their advancement. They're so focused on getting what they're after in their career or in their job.

That they're not concerned so much with the bigger picture. With what their employer wants of them obey diligently obey sincerely and thirdly. Paul says in verse 6 obey with integrity. With integrity and this goes along with the avoidance of hypocrisy but he says do this not with I service as men pleasers.

Not with I service as men pleasers you ever worked with people like that those who were working with I Service, you know what you know what that's like, right?

You.

Know the boss walks in the room and all of a sudden the The energy level picks up and the work the work starts to intensify. Right because the boss just walked in the room the boss walks out of the room and everybody goes really mean and they get back to their kind of What did what did that the 20

The 20 effort in the workplace. I saw this in a couple of different places when I was in younger years. We learn this early, don't we? We learn this early in childhood. I think it was the the earliest that I can remember must have been 4th grade.

Because I was a rat in 4th grade but You've experienced this too probably right. The teacher says Class I have to run down to the office for a minute. Sit quietly work on your worksheet. Don't talk. Just do your work.

Remember those remember those instructions and The teacher walks out the door the door closes and then what happens. Outcome the spitballs. You know outcome the rubber bands all kinds of talking all kinds of carrying on and those who did not have a Did not have a very good skill at timing.

We're right in the middle of one of these things when the door opened back up and the teacher walked in and They were still doing this kind of a thing chattering back and forth some of us who could Time the teacher walking to the office and back.

We knew we we knew about 15 seconds before the door opened to be sitting there pretending like we were working hard. That's childhood. Working with I service and it carries on into adulthood carries on into the workplace.

For a short period of time. I worked at at a Kmart when a new Kmart was built and and I Got into the place when they were still doing all the stocking before the store ever opened so they were doing all the stocking setting up all the display things and everything else and My co-workers I was how old was I in my 30s?

I guess my co-workers were all you know teenagers, you know high school kids and It was the same kind of a deal. We're given responsibility in certain areas things to do and so on and so forth and the boss walks in and Everybody's working really hard.

The boss walks away and everybody's goofing off and that carries on in Every stage of life and it can happen in every kind of workplace. Where we work just only only our best. When we're being watched not with I service as men pleasers as men pleasers.

And here's the corresponding idea that you're putting on a show. You're putting on a show to impress the higher-ups. I Remember at that same Kmart. The word came. I don't know why they do it this way, but the word came that on Came on Monday that on Thursday the area supervisor was going to come for an inspection.

But why do they announce that ahead of time? Right. Why don't they just show up? Then you see how things really are. But announcing it three or four days ahead of time. We got the word the supervisors coming and boy the management of the store managers.

They just went ballistic for that next the next three or four days. Making sure everything was done, right and you got to do this you know, they were driving us like crazy to get all this stuff just looking perfectly right and everything cleaned up and this was after the store was open and then the day arrives the supervisor comes and we're all like see how good everything looks and The supervisor is duly impressed.

Why did we do all of that for three or four days? Well because we're men pleasers now in both of these approaches. I Service men pleasers if if that's the approach to your job if that's the approach you're taking to your work.

Then you're serving merely outwardly. Without any inward dedication you realize that right and and if you're serving like this. You're serving selfishly for your benefit. And not for the greater good of the company or people that you're working for.

So as an employee you are to obey diligently. Sincerely with integrity and fourthly with a good attitude with a good attitude at the end of verse 6 Paul says we're to do this. We're to do the will of God from the heart from the heart that is we we need to develop a measure of Enthusiasm for the work that we've been given to do and man this can really be tough sometimes can it.
