 Welcome everyone to the second lesson of this quarter's teens cornerstone connections Which is presented to you by the teens from the Nairobi seventh central seventh-day Adventist Church The people who are going to be involved in this presentation are from my left Joyce Who is in son who is in charge of sign language? Amy who will be playing for us wonderful music and our panelists who include Silas Misati and Steve and our wonderful teen teacher teacher, John and I Hope you're all going to be blessed and may your hearts be touched as we As we study the word of God together. Thank you God is good And all the time Welcome again to the teens cornerstone connections lesson This is the second lesson of the quarter lesson to that is Greed the bottomless pit that is what we're going to be studying. But before we begin Like one of our panelists to pray with us, and then we'll know the names of our panelists Let's pray Off although dolls above in heaven We think this day for the time you've given us to do your word as we learn we pray that you may help us To understand and these things to stick in our lives in Jesus my pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you so much Now because you really spoke and you can just tell us your name as we move towards the right My name is Silas. Thank you Silas Greetings. My name is Steve Yes, Steve and I am miss Sati Sati and my name is John and and we're going to be guiding you through this lesson No, it's an all-man cast for today. All right So as the song that just introduced us to this lesson I'd rather have Jesus Than men's applause Today's lesson is just about worldly possessions and how they conflict with our love for God Greed the bottomless pit very interesting stuff. Now before we get into the lesson I just like to give a brief synopsis of what we're going to deal with now in the previous lesson We see that the Israelites have now entered the land of Canaan, right? And now The Israelites are now in a place where they are conflicting the Canaanites tribes Okay, and one of them is the Moabites and we're going to be reading about an animal that speaks This is the only other animal that speaks in the Bible We have two animals that speak in the Bible the whole Bible one of them is Steve The serpent the serpent. Yes, that's in Adam and Eve in Genesis in the second one The donkey the donkey they're going to study about today now before we start The what do you think section? What do you think section? I'd like Silas to take us through that the what do you think? If you have your lesson you can just go ahead with us there. We'll go through the what do you think section? So the what do you think section says let's pray for money a young man helps us so even though he's Conscience told him it was wrong before long he committed more and more crimes and More he committed the less it bothered him the more wronged. He did the less wrong. It seemed He finally became completely immune to his guilt over the thievery Why did the young man become immune to his guilt? Mmm. That's a very interesting question at times. We do the wrong thing so many times it becomes the right thing to do So what do you think made this young man who's robbing a Store probably a bank in this case What do you think made him immune to his guilt Silas can give us your thought? Okay? I think it's because He had done it so many times that it was something normal for him So it's never it's never bothered him that he did something wrong because it's now part of him. It's normal Okay What are some of the wrong things that as young people we might do that? We've continued doing them, you know, they start to become like normal What are some of the wrong things I can think about Steve? then be sat in And I'll talk about probably bad habits like Let's say we have an addiction to let's say alcohol First time your conscience will really hit at you You won't You will feel really feel the impact on it on your conscience but as Many people have found out as time goes by this Causes it the effect to decrease on your conscience and the voice gets more silent more quiet until eventually we find that someone is immune to the Addiction and it's fully in it. The voice that tells you that this is wrong. This is wrong. Yeah, basically stop stalking Just do it without any remorse without any Without looking back And I find one of the habits is something that Ellen White Speaks of and it's one of the things that she's not very vague or ambiguous about but as she describes in great accuracy and the particular thing she describes is Flatatiousness that is Guys who find a girl. She looks nice and he's like, hey, will you I like this one So he decides that he's going to woo this girl But once he has wood her and then she I mean give up so to speak or as in he has succeeded in wing Huh? He ditches her then goes to the next one and then repeats the cycle that sort of Flatatiousness is what Ellen White describes and I think that is something that we end up that can even be Christian or baptized be like I seem by us. It's just normal. It's like It's normal for women to say that men are dogs. Can I can I add about the playboy being Very highly regarded. Mm-hmm. They talk about trees these days. Yeah. Yeah They assign they attach various terms to it. Let's say the doctor is a nomics if I may give an example So it's normally praised in this modern day society Right. Yeah, I should just speak on that Ellen White in our messages to young people She calls it a sin. You know, it's called trifling with hearts You're literally just juggling with people's hearts. That is very insensitive. You know We'll see also. There's also a bit of insensitiveness that we're going to see today But not to human beings but to people or to animals. I mean, all right now Silas again before we continue read for us the did you know section? Did you know section? Mm-hmm Even one wrong trait of character once in full desire persistent Persistently cherished will eventually Neutralize all the power of the gospel every sinful indulgence strengthens the soul's a version to God All right Yeah, so basically just remind us again with the repeated doing of the wrong thing It makes our soul our hearts numb to the Holy Spirit telling us it is the wrong thing to do now before we get Into the story we always have a fundamental belief in the lesson that aligns what we're reading today Now today's fundamental belief is the nature of humanity You know how human beings are this is the fourth the seventh belief in the seventh Adventist seventh day Adventist fundamental beliefs and Basically tells us that God made us man woman in his own image, right? But as much as we are in the image of God He gave us the choice, you know the conscience. He gave us free will God cannot force us to love it God cannot force us to do the good thing. So it just lets us choose for ourselves. That's how gracious he is and to us Now let's dive into a story today and I'll ask Misati take us through that So in this story this story is a very Curiously fascinating one first because we have a talking animal Second it seems that God behaves in an enigmatic way, but let me not jump ahead of myself so the story starts with Bala receiving a vision from God God tells him because Balak has pressured you so much Do this I want you to go to him, but Do only that which I have told you to do so he sidles his donkey and he's on his way now an Angel appears with a sword, but then now only the donkey can see the angel The angel appears on the road so the donkey swarves into a field Balam is like why are you so being me so he walks the donkey and says get back on the path the donkey obliges second time The angel appears where there is a wall to the left and there's a wall to the right Now so as the donkey do the donkey sees an angel with a sword and of course the donkey is frightened Don't he doesn't want to die so don't he slams Balam's foot onto the wall in order to be able to pass it's like forcing issues. It's one to Pass aside down the angel the third time decides I'm well place myself where The donkey can either go left or right and it is at that point Where Balam is walking the donkey and it's moved as I Not seeing anything Now that's when the Lord opened the donkey's mouth and the donkey asks Balam Have I ever disobeyed you all these years you have ridden me? And I think Balam at that point. I wonder what was going in his head This donkey an animal is talking to him. I mean didn't he smell a rat like I mean something is wrong here Like why is how is an animal talking to me and Balam says no And then the donkey is like why then are you doing this and to me? That just reminds me of what Solomon says that a righteous man regards the life of his animal That is yeah, that is so once Balam's eyes are opened now. He's like oh Now just feels a bit sheepish like oh, but I'm walking this donkey now This donkey is saving my my life that is and then the angel of the Lord tells Balam That why why are you doing this to your donkey? At least and then Balam at that point just began sheepish and like is apologizing for what he has done Then he says you know what if this has displeased you I shall not go then the angel of the Lord confirms the message and says that Go but speak only that which I will tell you to speak Amen. Amen. Thank you for that very amazing summary So just to put into into context Silas can be opening for us Habakkuk chapter 2 verse 9 before I finish what I'm speaking So Balam was one of the greatest prophets at that time So the Israelite just come outside the Moabites place Okay, so the king King Balak and this guy's the names almost sound the same So Balak looked for Balam and asked him to come and cast the Israelites, but Balam really wanted the money That's what the aspect of greed comes in So he talked to God. He tried to convince God God It's cash. It's cash, but I like I'll see what you wanted to say, but I need the money Can I just go and speak? All right, so he even tells the king that yes I'll come but I'll only speak what the Lord tells me to speak but even has he's saying that he's like I Know God will not want me to cast these relights so I might lose on the money But let me just try God might change his mind. That's what you see the angel coming and blocking his path and all those other things Silas Habakkuk 2 verse 9. What does it tell us? It says what to him who covet evil gain for his house That he may set his nest on high that he may be Delivered from the power of disaster Mm-hmm Cursed is he Cursed is he I mean at times we tend to focus more on what we want Than what God wants of us, okay? It's something I call a pet scene. I like to call it a pet scene It's something you just grow you feed it you take care of it You cover it from the wind and all those elements you just let it grow but in the end it comes and destroys you and Balams pet scene was covertiousness It's the covertiousness and the greed for money that made his eyes even blind to see the angel standing in his path Now this is a very interesting question we get in the Sabbath section of our lesson Do you see yourself as being more like Balam or more like the donkey when it comes to relating to God? Are you Balam or are you the donkey when you're relating to God Steve? What do you like I Believe in this aspect When you're relating to God sometimes we tend to lean towards Balam side and other times it's tend to lean towards the donkey side Yeah Balam in this case was not aware of what? Of the presence of the angel that time so he was busy punishing the donkey Beating it telling it to go not understanding that there is an angel on the road you see and Sometimes we also ask Christians. We tend to do things not knowing that God is Ultimately the one in control so we tend to do things try to force things to go away and the God does not want to Maybe give us such opportunity at that time, but I tried to force it and as you've seen the donkey didn't go Don't give me move so we might find that we will be stagnant at that point and It went to leaders anywhere. Yeah, and actually speaking of that Reminds me that somewhere I read that When we try to contest to the Lord to do the wrong thing Yeah, she just allows us to go ahead with it and we get punished by it That's actually in the Patrickson prophets should be chapter 40, right? Illinois it says that when we try to plead with God we try to begin with God to allow us to do the wrong thing He lets us go ahead and we just rip up consequences in the end and that's what happened with Balor. Okay now Another question. All right, let me just give a story before we get to that question a Story is told of a poor man who was walking through the forest one time. He was poor. He was very tired and He comes across a bag of money It has gold it has jewelry it has bracelets all those precious things But in his heart, he knows this is not mine So he does not pick it And he just goes to the town that's close to the forest to look for an honest job to get food But little did he know Some people were in the forest at the time he was seeing the bag and they saw him not to pick it up and So he's the the good deed that he did it spread out to the town And the townspeople knew that this person is honest And so they offered him a job really quickly and he got some food to eat now later on It was discovered that that bag of money belonged to one of the richest men in that town and The bag was returned to him and the rich man was told this poor man saw the money, but he did not take it So in his heart the rich man was supposed to Reward this poor man for not taking his money, but he was use holding it back But in the end he just gave the poor man some of the gold and the people just praised him He was like how the rich man is a good person the poor man is also a good person But in all this they both did the right thing, but for different reasons brings a question At times do we ever do the right thing, but with the wrong intention in mind Like this rich man, right Silas, can you just give us an example where you might do the right thing, but with the wrong intention or with the wrong Motive in your heart. Okay, you can say Perhaps you get you do something good because You want to gain let me say you want to gain the trust of someone So you always good because you want to gain that trust so being manipulative Yeah, all right. Aha. We sat here So I would see doing something good the thing is Satan is not opposed to good morals that is but now what he's opposed to is When things are done in the spirit of Christ So one thing I would look at it is that you can do something good just because so far people have a nice high Reputation of you at the rich man was like, let me just give him some of his gold because I want people to think I'm this good person This altruistic person, you know, that is I think at times We are the good Samaritan in a bad way That is someone decides to do something like Helping a children's home or helping a street family or some of that sort But then they are posting it on social media Exactly that is I think it is doing the right thing, but with the wrong motive because it's a way of just Getting praise that hey, you're a good person. You do this. You do that You do the other but what if you didn't write you want followers you want likes you want money You want to be paid by the streaming platform. That's the wrong If I may add It's it's also normally very hard to distinguish people in it comes to that aspect as well using using the same example Because one might do it to let's say spread awareness and maybe invite more people to let's say The same people exactly but other people you see are doing it for their own intentions And that really brings removes the good from out of it, which is a very disadvantageous thing that happens And you know, we cannot hide our intentions from the Lord like in Balam's case. He went right? He went to and it was going to speak what the Lord was going to tell him But in his heart he really wanted to cast the Israelites and get the money from King Balak Actually when you read from the book of Numbers chapter 22 and 23 Balam was first offered a small amount of money by the King and riches So he refused the first time he said I've spoken to God. God has told me don't go So the king thought this guy's this is a type of a gaining see the way you buy things Like I know this money is too much. It is cool. So the king was like Probably Balam is trying to lie to me He wants more money. So the king the second time he sent people with more money and more promises and Balam the same It was like God, I really have to go you have to let me go and God said no again And now this second time the people who had been sent the messages They just went back and Balam was like that's money going Man, I am broke. God can't you see I am broke This is money going and God is like just go because God could see the intention in his heart He was not pure. He did not want to go and speak what God was going to tell him wanted to Speak and get the money and God is not man He cannot be lied to and that's why he saw the intentions of Balam And that's how we see what happened in the end now we can answer a few questions from the out of the story We start to take us through that We are asked why did the Moabites call to Balam for help What do you think? Silas can help us with that. Okay, I think that's Balak went to Balam because He couldn't find a way to destroy the Israelites and less They are cursed That's very simple, I mean you can't be Living in a place where you've seen all your neighbors are being destroyed By this enemy and you just sit there and hope that your intentions are going to work against them Yeah For another question and the thing is we now need to look at Balam the man so Of course the lesson paints him as this wicked sort of man who is devious in his heart But so what good attribute do you see in him? That is Steve if I may talk about one especially is that He's always willing to listen to God and he wouldn't want to go against God for other people out for the Moabites in this case see like he was telling them I will come but I'll only say what the Lord wants me to say exactly All right. All right for one last question maybe Now I would look at it and ask what can we learn from this story on how God communicates with us How what can we do? Who can give us you that? That's what I realized From this story on how God can't communicate with us is that God will use anything and everything To communicate with us. We may not get to the point where you're going to have a goldfish talking to you We may not get to that point But I see it that God can make things happen in a way until you're like, you know, it's God, I think you're telling me something like things can happen and you're sure this Cannot be a mistake or this this cannot be something a random without a reason that is I think God can use All manner of ways that is but I think the thing is if all else fails This rocks speak to you Amen, I like that. I like that and Still on that, you know the way the Lord speaks to us, you know, we can use the most unconventional means like the donkey But this is the most obvious way that the Lord speaks to us the Bible All right. I mean every single day We read the Bible, right every single week in Church in school in some schools, right when you're doing your devotion at home You've read you've read the same stories ever since you were young, but they never get boring You know, the Lord is constantly speaking to us I mean you can pick up this Bible right now where you are and trust me find something you've never read before Okay, now we can read one verse as we move on Proverbs chapter 12 verse 10 Maybe just get it Proverbs 12 verse 10 the godly care for their animals, but the wicked are always cruel That speaks a lot Now, this is a very interesting aspect. You might never have thought off Do you know that the animals are suffering because of you and I you might be wondering why or how? The Bible says that by one man sin came into the world That's true Adam now when Adam died the first thing that suffered, okay first It was the plants the leaves because he cut the branches and made the the coverings for himself and his wife Now the second thing that suffered was the animal remember God slaughtered a ship All right and made covering so Adam indeed and animals started suffering in that way now Solomon the wisest man tells us that the godly people care for their animals Now he did something I've when I read this story. I was just thinking about When the donkey spoke Balam spoke back he did not even get shocked this animal is talking Right. It shows how much he was blinded by his Covetiousness his greed But he was a righteous man But he let his sinful nature lead him into ungodliness which is not taking care of animals Now, how do you think or what are the ways that you could help innocent animals that are being abused? How can you help animals are being abused? Yeah, so I think before answering our question. I think something is struck me in my head I think I think Balam must have been extremely blinded because I'm imagining the guy seated on their dog And the donkey is speaking to him So the donkey is not facing forward. The donkey has Have I ever done this to you before I mean and then I think he just have sat there and just asked myself like wait This donkey has its head and its mouth is moving and I can see I think this is like They must have been extremely blinded and I'm looking at how we can help animals which are in need I think one thing would be we can stop polluting rivers. I think that's something it's quite simple And I think is we can stop polluting drains That is when you when you finish with a single use plastic I think we can just stop throwing it out of the window. So I think that's a very It's a very bad way to do it That is because of course, you know, that's gonna go to the plant And that's not right. You should not be doing plastic at plant if you throw it into the sea or Into a lake I think you'll end up killing plants or you'll kill animals because the animals can very easily get stuck In those things or be stuck in rappers and then they die and I think that's that's great. Yes. Yeah. All right, Steve How can you help animals? Okay, first of all Say going to the bus that says that when when God talking to I was telling him to take care of creation, you see and so by Not taking care of animals in the first place by treating them cruelly We are going against what God told us to do initially. We're ready to obey in God and on the aspect of Protecting animals. I believe we should For me I strongly as they are to I strongly praise those Organizations that normally taking animals that are being truly Cheated and Give them a home give me my shelter and I believe that is one of the best things you can give a home a place where they can Yes, and for those which cannot be managed at home. I best I believe it's best to keep their home Safe for them. You see something like you can go you can go into the topic of taking care of the plants the forests and not not Interfering with their home. All right. Yeah, so basically calls for us as Christians to be Advocates of taking care of the environment. Yes. All right Silas, how can you take care of animals? You do you have a pet at home? No, okay Okay, perhaps When you go to the when you go to the park or someone Yeah, you can Feed the animals or something right to show you just to show that you care about Okay, all right, and I also this brings in another thought which is a whole other topic in itself The aspects because it talks about problems 1910 talks about cruelty to animals Does cruelty extend to eating them? This is just a question. I don't need an answer for you guys. Is this something you can think about? Does cruelty to animals extend to eating them because you have to kill it? Okay It's something a friend of mine usually calls it. It's basically Enjoying the suffering of other animals or other living creatures to please your taste buds When he puts it in that way just makes you start thinking That's something I can leave you thinking about does cruelty to animals extent of TV I'd like to add a rhetoric on top. Yeah, so then I can now ask so Does cruelty to plants extend to eating them? So can we can we ask can we say that plants feel pain? That's that's the question It's do we know if they feel pain. It's just that they don't move. They don't bark So they don't bleed. So we're like Maybe we are being cruel to plants That's just a side thought well at least know with plants God told us in Genesis, you know, we feel free to eat of any Plant that gives hubs and nuts and seeds but animals came later after the flood That's a whole other topic now moving on back to a topic Matthew chapter 6 verse 3 You can read that for us Steve Matthew 6 verse 3 can just read from my Bible here. Thank you Matthew chapter 6 verse 3 and it says But when you give to someone in need do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing That basically just picks on generosity as Misatid told us before the way people just give things for likes and you know comments and stuff on Instagram and followers Christ told us that when we give something to someone we should not let what our right hand has done Left hand should not know about it. Okay. That's also another lesson. We can pick about this today Now moving on the father insight I'd like Steve to read that for us the father insight, okay so the father insight states that It is a perilous thing to allow an un-christian trait to live in the heart One cherished him will little by little debase the character Debase the character bring all its nobler powers into subjection to the evil desire The removal of one safeguard from the conscience the indulgence of one evil habit one neglect of the high claims of duty Breaks down the defenses of the soul and opens the way for certain to come in and lead us astray The only safe course is to let our prayers go forth daily from a sincere heart And what does that tell you Steve for me? I believe it tells us to be very Stringent We want to allow into our hearts into our conscience. We want to we allow to go through our conscience because When you allow something bad to go to our conscience it silences the moral the moral conscience in our in our minds you see and from the example we talked about earlier when You start allowing it to go through the conscience constantly Constantly without correcting it. It silences the conscience. You see and this can lead to very grave consequences you see and It might even lead to the denial of the Holy Spirit in itself Which is not a good thing in a Christian's life at all. And I like to chip in and something I realized here is God made us according to a certain set of laws But then of course any law has its limitation so to speak or any law would end up having its flaws And I realized that in the way God made us he made it that even that is He can call to us if we just have one seed of truth God can use one A picture of light to draw us back to him But then by placing that in our nature it means that we can have One seen that can lead us astray and I see that God in his mercy made it But of course now that means it can be manipulated by the devil that someone can be righteous But by having one pet seen that's what? Drugs them away from God in the same way someone may be wicked But then by having one time at the heart by God they can be drawn to right And it's a good thing you've brought about the whole pets in right Silas Can you just read for us the flashlight it actually just portrays that concept in a very good way the flashlight Okay, the flashlight Comes from the book projects and prophets your page 439 it says Balaam loved the wages of unrighteousness the sin of covenciousness which God Declarsed to be idolatry had made him a time server and Through this one fault certain gained entire control of him. It was these that cost his ruin the tempter is ever presenting what we gain and honor to entice men from the service of God tells them it is They are of a covenciousness That keeps them from prosperity Thus many are Induced to venture out of the path of street Integrity one wrong steps makes the next easier and they become more and more presumptuous true Ellen white in portraits and prophets chapter 40. Thank you for that Silas. She states that At times we blame the devil right for falling into temptations But she says that even the greatest of temptations that we face Is not a justification for us to commit sin you might have Face the greatest temptation ever where you see there is no way out But that is no justification for you to say God I fell into sin because I cannot handle this God tells us I have given you not a spirit of fear But of confidence and of power and Christ tells us again through Paul That I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me Ellen white in practice and prophets again chapter 40 She tells us that when we are faced with the greatest of temptations We should just pray to God and ask him to give us divine wisdom and strength to overcome it Facing temptation is not a justification for sin That's what we've been told again in the flashlight as you see the devil what he does He's going to pick that one bad seed as Misati said that one bad seed in you and it's going to help you grow it Because he sees you're just keeping this pet inside you and he knows this is going to be the source of your ruin And that's what he's going to focus on Balamos Govaches, and that's what the devil focused on but we see the Lord is always gracious God knew Balaam had all these bad things But Balaam made some of the most profound blessings ever to the Israelite nation, you know, Ellen White says that When Balamos uttering those blessings the Israelites He was shown all the way to the coming of Christ How the Israelite nation is going to prosper how these no other nation that's going to be greater than the Israelite nation Okay, we know they were spread out all over the world in the time back But right now it's the spiritual Israelite nation. Those are the people who obey the laws of God That's you and I you our viewer. Okay, so when we follow the laws of God We share in these blessings that Balam prophesied upon the Israelites. All right Any other comments before we come to a close so Mine was one what you said about Ellen White about about not being not justifying The various sins that we commit and I'll bring us back to the analogy my friend here made of the aperture of light in that the a bit of light in the in it talks about like When you make one sin it can lead you away from the light of God, but also in the same sense how one good action or Calling from God can lead you back into the aperture of light and I believe this can be a very good way to look at our To judge our actions when you're about to commit to do an action or do something you didn't want to do You can ask yourself Does this enable me to continue going straight into the aperture of light of God that God has offered for me? Or does it lead me away from God and lead to father darkness true And one thing I end up realizing is a lot of times we rationalize Seen where we make it seem not to be sinful or we end up making excuses for the same that oh this happened Oh that happened now. I mean that's why when we look at the model at times of Addiction of people are like Traumatized so as you know, it sounds traumatized. They're like My father used to shelter me used to beat me now. That's why I smoke marijuana. Yeah, okay fine. That happened Yeah, but it's no longer happening. So you need not continue with that sort of mindset You can be able to break free cause someone has a self awareness There's a difference between someone who is smoking marijuana because they know not better and someone who has been enlightened They can see this is what happened. This is what's happening now This is how I can break it that is of a girl who's like a ho because I was sexually abused Sexually molested driver, of course the trauma can induce that but when someone changes the point where they are sexually where they are aware What's happening and that this happened and that this is no longer happening Then they can be at that moment that self awareness is what God uses to enable them to live a more Abundant life. Sure. I like that. We should at times we chain ourselves like in the previous lesson we learned The story about Houdini. He was trying to open a lock that was already unlocked at times We just put ourselves in these chains that are not really chains. We have the key to it God has given us the key to these things that we are struggling with Silas to close read for us from a Should be in the punch lines. That's Hebrews chapter that inverse five as we close Hebrews 13 verse five The very last verse in the punch line Hebrews 13 verse five. It says Let your conversations be without covaciousness and be cut content with such things as you have for he had said I will never leave the know for safety That is a very profound verse, you know We should just be content with what we have and as the song that we we listen to before I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide faith Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all his righteousness and all these other things will be added unto you Finding God first will have everything else that we need. There's no need for us to convert Right that brings us to the end of lesson two for today And now we hope to join or see you in lesson three where we'll be studying about Roads to the soul before we finish Steve kindly pray with us. Okay. Let's believe and pray Our father what in heaven we thank you once again for a beautiful day We thank you for enabling us to study your word and to understand your nature and to grow in you every day, dear father I pray to you that you may be with us Maybe be able to internalize what you've learned and we will be able to apply the life concepts that you've given us In our own daily endeavors of your father with us forgiveness of our sins that we may have committed a dear father And gave us all the way and let us lean on you. That was our savior. Well, this is my mother prayer We're very trusting Jesus Christ our Lord in season Amen. Amen
