Acts
9:1-6 KJV And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter
against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
(2) And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues,
that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he
might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. (3) And as he
journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about
him a light from heaven: (4) And he fell to the earth, and
heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou
me? (5) And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said,
I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against
the pricks. (6) And he trembling and astonished said, Lord,
what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go
into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Acts
22:10 KJV And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said
unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee
of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
Acts 10:1-6 KJV There was a
certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band
called the Italian band, (2) A devout man, and one that
feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and
prayed to God alway. (3) He saw in a vision evidently about
the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying
unto him, Cornelius. (4) And when he looked on him, he was
afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers
and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. (5)
And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is
Peter: (6) He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house
is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
What God must Deal With To Save Souls
Both Saul of Tarsus and Cornelius the Italian centurion were sincere
men.
- They did not know truth nor
experienced what God started with the New Testament.
- Saul was called to be apostle
to the gentiles ONE CHAPTER before Peter came to the first Gentile who
was born of the water and the Spirit.
- Acts 9 and Acts 10 show
amazing similarities between Saul's and Cornelius' conversion.
Both men were sincere.
- Although Saul was accomplice
to the death of Christians, he was doing it in sincerity.
1
Timothy 1:13 KJV Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor,
and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in
unbelief.
Acts 23:1 KJV And Paul,
earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived
in all good conscience before God until this day.
God can lead a person who is HONEST to all truth no matter how much
error they have.
But God has to deal with the Christians whom he uses to reach these
people.
- And God goes through a lot of
effort to deal with them, as well as at the same time getting hold of
the unsaved who are honest towards God.
- There is a double miracle
that occurs because God works miracles in leading sincere unsaved
people to truth at the same time he deals with believers so these
unsaved people can be saved.
Both Saul and Cornelius were religious but had no real supernatural
experiences from God.
- This exact same situation is
in many people's lives today.
- So we can have hope for these
people who are very sincere but have never tapped into God's actual
power.
SAUL:
Acts
9:3-4 KJV And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and
suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
(4) And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him,
Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
CORNELIUS:
Acts
10:1-3 KJV There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius,
a centurion of the band called the Italian band, (2) A
devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much
alms to the people, and prayed to God alway. (3) He saw in
a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God
coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
Saul was a Jew of the strictest sect of the Jews. A Pharisee.
Cornelius was a Roman Soldier
What astounds me is that these two kinds of people were the very people
who crucified the Lord Jesus Christ!
- The Jewish religious leaders
and a ROMAN soldier.
Both men were told SOMEONE FROM THE CHURCH WOULD DEAL WITH THEM ABOUT
TRUTH.
SAUL:
Acts
9:6 KJV And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt
thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the
city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
CORNELIUS:
Acts
10:5-6 KJV And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon,
whose surname is Peter: (6) He lodgeth with one Simon a
tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou
oughtest to do.
Both men were told they must do something.
Now, salvation is not of works, BUT THERE ARE STILL THINGS PEOPLE MUST
DO.
- Salvation not by works does
not mean salvation by doing nothing.
- The works we are not supposed
to do regard self making self righteous.
- The things Saul and Cornelius
had to do were not in that category.
Neither Jesus nor an angel directly instructed these two men as to what
it was they had to do.
- Jesus and the angel both told
these men that a Christian minister would tell them what to do.
1
Corinthians 1:21 Complete Apostles' Bible (21) For since,
in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, God
was well pleased, through the foolishness of our preaching, to save
those that believe.
Saul had to go to Damascus to find out what to do and Cornelius had to
send for Simon Peter to tell him what to do.
Both men were left wondering what it was they had to do.
- Imagine their anticipation.
Not only did Saul experience this supernatural slam to the ground and a
rebuke from Jesus about how Saul was persecuting THE LORD, Whom he
always knew as Jehovah, and learned JESUS WAS JEHOVAH,...
- And not only did Cornelius
experience something supernatural with an angel...
- But the two ministers whom
God would use to tell these folks what to do... namely Ananias and
Peter.. were also supernaturally prepared for the task.
There was mutual supernatural preparation for the minister and the one
being ministered to, in both Saul's and Cornelius' cases.
Acts
9:10-12 KJV And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named
Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said,
Behold, I am here, Lord. (11) And the Lord said unto him,
Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in
the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he
prayeth, (12) And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias
coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
Acts
10:9-13 KJV On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and
drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about
the sixth hour: (10) And he became very hungry, and would
have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
(11) And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto
him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let
down to the earth: (12) Wherein were all manner of
fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things,
and fowls of the air. (13) And there came a voice to him,
Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
And something happened in both cases -- just one chapter apart --
dealing with a Jew to be saved and Gentiles to be saved --
- IN BOTH CASES THE ONE TO
MINISTER COULD NOT ACCEPT WHAT THEY WERE SEEING.
- They doubted what God was
trying to tell them.
- THEY ARGUE WITH GOD.
Note that even the verses are similar.
Acts
9:13-16 KJV Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of
this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
(14) And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind
all that call on thy name. (15) But the Lord said unto him,
Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before
the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: (16)
For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
Acts 10:12-16 KJV Wherein
were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and
creeping things, and fowls of the air. (13) And there came
a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. (14) But Peter
said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or
unclean. (15) And the voice spake unto him again the second
time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
(16) This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again
into heaven.
Imagine Peter and Ananias' thinking that caused them to actually argue
with God about what God was trying to do IN ORDER TO SAVE A SOUL.
ANANIAS:
Acts
8:3 KJV As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into
every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
Acts 22:4-5 KJV And I
persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons
both men and women. (5) As also the high priest doth bear
me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received
letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which
were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
God uses Ananias' words about how Saul persecuted those who call on THY
NAME, and said Saul would suffer FOR HIS NAME.
Acts
9: (14) And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind
all that call on thy name. (15) But the Lord said unto him,
Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before
the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: (16)
For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
Saul would actually bear Jesus' name since he would come to love that
name so much!
PETER:
Peter is shown a vision and argues with God about what God is telling
Peter to do in the vision.
Peter was shown unclean animals and told to eat them, when Israelites
were commanded by OLD TESTAMENT LAW to not eat such animals.
- We come to find out that the
reason God gave him that sort of vision was because PETER WAS TO ENTER
AN UNCLEAN GENTILE'S HOUSE AND MINISTER to him.
- Peter never would have
allowed such a thing to happen.
In BOTH CASES, Saul and Cornelius were the type of people that MEMBERS
OF THE CHURCH STRONGLY HESITATED TO DEAL WITH even when God was telling
them to do so.
Can you imagine what God has to go through in order to reach souls with
whom He is supernaturally dealing in order to save them?
There is an honesty and sincerity in our congregation for truth, with
people who have proved their desire for truth by paying a price for it
at a cost that hurt.
- So you are well aware of the
fact that God has to deal with TRADITIONS in every one of our lives in
order to be able to use us to reach souls.
- There are likely traditions
in every single one of us here today that God has to deal with in order
for Him to be able to use us to save a soul.
- And by the sincerity in each
of us, I believe God can deal with whatever it may be.
- But I feel God is starting
this year out with us by making us aware of how we may be sincere, but
may be holding some ideas that he has to deal with in order to
successfully reach a soul.
I am amazed at the hodge podge of experiences in every single person
here that shows a distinct record of having faced some traditions and
very religious elements that proved to be offkey.
- And imagine a God who gave
the keys of the Kingdom to a man like Peter whom He knew in the future
would resist reaching out to a soul name Cornelius because of a
tradition he held, but He gave that man the keys knowing this
nevertheless.
It only urges me to ensure as much as ever in my past to always remain
open for correction from the Lord.
- And I dare say that there is
not merely a chance of there being traditions that will hinder souls in
my life, but that there are traditions that hinder in my life.
- And I pray God prepare me and
got through the effort to remove them so that He can use me to reach
that soul, and not have to turn to someone else not as obstinate and
set in my ways.
Cornelius and Saul were human lives these Christians never believed GOD
COULD ACTUALLY SAVE.
These were two men whom MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL actually felt would
never become part of the church.
- Saul: He was the church's
worst persecutor!
- Cornelius: He was an
uncircumcised gentile.
- God wanted to do the work,
but the church DID NOT BELIEVE HE COULD!
DARKNESS is involved in both events.
Remember that Saul was rebuked for persecuting Jesus when he persecuted
the Church.
- And then he was told to go to
Damascus to find out what to do.
- Imagine Saul's mind.
- Await further instructions.
- Instructions for what?
- How to kill himself since he
fought GOD, HIMSELF?
- And not only that, He was
BLINDED BY THE LIGHT FOR THREE DAYS.
Acts
9:8-9 KJV And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were
opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him
into Damascus. (9) And he was three days without sight, and
neither did eat nor drink.
Did you catch that?
- Did not eat or drink?
- That dude was FASTING AND
PRAYING for incredible fear of the unknown!
God talks to Ananias:
Acts
9:11 KJV And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the
street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for
one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
Saul was PRAYING!
Romans
15:19 KJV Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the
Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum,
I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
This said he preached from Jerusalem to the north of Italy just beside
Germany!
And we are reading of this man's start!
Saul's tradition had to be dealt with since he RELIGIOUSLY persecuted
the church, thinking he did God a service.
- His whole ministry was
revealed to be FIGHTING GOD.
- And Ananias gets this world
turned upside down as well.
- This man cannot be saved.
Traditions of Cornelius.
- This man was very religious,
and learned that giving alms and praying always DID NOT MEAN HE WAS
SAVED.
Acts
10:1-2 Complete Apostles' Bible (1) Now there was a certain
man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the
Italian Regiment, (2) a devout man, and one that feared
God, together with all his household, who often gave alms to the
people, and making petition to God always.
Peter did not miss it either.
- His Jewish tradition that was
now made obsolete, said that a Jew cannot so much as enter a Gentile's
house.
Peter is left wondering what the vision of eating unclean animals means
and Saul is left in blindness for three days.
Then Saul is healed, receives the Holy Ghost and can see again, and is
baptized, as with Cornelius!
SAUL:
Acts
9:17-18 KJV And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house;
and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus,
that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that
thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy
Ghost. (18) And immediately there fell from his eyes as it
had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was
baptized.
Acts
22:16 KJV And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and
wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
CORNELIUS:
Acts
10:47-48 KJV Can any man forbid water, that these should not be
baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
(48) And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the
Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Amongst the things they were told to do included the precious
experience of water baptism!
Let's not allow these days in which we are in to have people tell us
that the things they commanded in the early church are not necessary
any more.
But notice the thing about BLINDNESS.
- Saul may have been blinded
physically, but PETER WAS SPIRITUALLY BLIND FROM THE SAME HOUR OF THE
DAY AS SAUL.
Acts
10:9-10 KJV On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and
drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about
the sixth hour: (10) And he became very hungry, and would
have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
THE SIXTH HOUR IS NOONTIME, counting from 6am in the morning.
Peter experiences a darkness in not knowing what the vision meant at
NOON!
Although we do not read of what TIME Saul saw the light and was blinded
in Acts 9, Acts 22 has him recounting this experience in which he DOES
give the time.
Acts
22:6 KJV And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was
come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a
great light round about me.
Acts 22:11 KJV And when I
could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of
them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
AT NOON when the sun is supposed to be shining the brightest and
hottest, the closest time the sun is to us, these men were in darkness.
But something else occurred at what normally was this brightest time of
day at noon...
Mark
15:25 KJV And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
Matthew 27:44-45 KJV The
thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his
teeth. (45) Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over
all the land unto the ninth hour.
There are some things in our understanding that we are very clear about.
- We believe many wonderful
truths that God has successfully been able to show us and have us
accept them.
- This reminds me of 3 hours of
the cross from 9am (the third hour) to noon (the sixth hour) when Jesus
was first crucified until the sun darkened at noon.
- THERE IS A CLEAR SIDE OF THE
CROSS.
- But there is also an UNCLEAR
SIDE OF THE CROSS...
- A time of darkness from the
sixth hour until the ninth hour -- noon to 3pm.
The darkness on the cross stands for somethings about the cross WE ARE
NOT AWARE OF.
- TRUTHS THAT GOD HAS NOT YET
SHOWN US.
- As it was LIGHT and THEN
DARKNESS, it clearly represents we initially see many truths,, but
eventually and next have come to come to grips with truths our
traditions actually contradict.
It became dark at noon while Jesus was on the cross just as noontime
had Peter see a vision he could not understand, and Saul was physically
blinded.
And these were the great apostle of the Jews and the apostle of the
Gentiles!
How much more could there be errors in my life that God must deal with?
Acts
10:17 KJV Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision
which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from
Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
Acts
10:19-20 KJV While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said
unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. (20) Arise
therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I
have sent them.
DO NOT DOUBT PETER.
The time we do not understand is crucial since WE MAY START DOUBTING.
- Trust God in the mysterious
times where we cannot understand what God is doing.
We must learn that God is on the throne and He is working on it.
- While you are in the dark,
trust God is going to bring you to an understanding though for the time
being He chose to make you aware that you are wrong.
And when Peter comes to Cornelius' house, he realizes what the vision
meant.
Acts
10:28 KJV And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an
unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto
one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call
any man common or unclean.
He hears Cornelius tell of his experience, and then says:
Acts
10:34 KJV Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I
perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
The two men Saul and Cornelius are saved.
AFTER THEY ARE SAVED, THOUGH, JERUSALEM DOUBTS THE SAME THINGS.
God had to get hold of the preachers, and then He had to get hold of
the church after the preachers were corrected and the men were saved,
so that the church would not reject them OVER THE SAME REASONS.
After each man is ministered to by these men of God, Ananias and Peter,
THE VERY THING ANANIAS AND PETER DOUBTED ARE RAISED ALL OVER AGAIN WHEN
NEWS OF CORNELIUS AND SAUL REACHES THE Jerusalem CHURCH.
Acts
9:26-27 KJV And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to
join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and
believed not that he was a disciple. (27) But Barnabas took
him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had
seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had
preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
Acts 11:1-3 KJV And the
apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had
also received the word of God. (2) And when Peter was come
up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with
him, (3) Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and
didst eat with them.
Saul was doubted by JERUSALEM due to his past reputation of fighting
Christians.
Cornelius is doubted by JERUSALEM because he was an uncircumcised
Gentile.
We know many things of the cross that we are in the light with.
- But while half the time of
the cross was light, there were three more hours, another half, in
darkness.
- I feel there is a symbolic
message here.
- The same hours of the day
were noted in Saul's and Cornelius' conversions.
- And the message is THE CROSS
CAN DO FAR MORE THAN WHAT YOUR TRADITIONS WILL ALLOW YOU TO ACCEPT.
There is more the cross can do THAN YOUR TRADITIONS ALLOW YOU TO ACCEPT!
God needs to SAVE US OUT OF OUR traditions, so others can be saved!!
PETER AND SAUL See a vision and are left not fully understanding
something at the same time -- NOON -- the sixth hour -- when the sky
grew dark while Jesus was crucified.
- Saul's blindness lasts THREE
DAYS.
- THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME JESUS
WAS IN THE GRAVE BEFORE HE RESURRECTED.Peter's Vision left him in
wonderment beginning at a SIXTH HOUR until he arrived four days later
at Cornelius' house, AT THE NINTH HOUR.
- Though they were not the same
day, the sixth hour and the ninth hour of Christ's crucifixion was the
precise time the sun turned dark.
Acts
10:3 KJV He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the
day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
Acts 10:30 KJV And Cornelius
said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth
hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright
clothing,
THE NINTH HOUR was when Peter realized what his vision meant, and the
LIGHTS WENT ON, and gave Cornelius the instructions about Jesus' name
baptism and the infilling of the Holy Ghost, and he received the Holy
Ghost and was baptized.
Matthew
27:45 KJV Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the
land unto the ninth hour.
Not only that, but Jesus died at the ninth hour.
Matthew
27:46 KJV And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,
saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me?
Matthew 27:50-51 KJV Jesus,
when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
(51) And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from
the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
THE VEIL RENT!
- REVELATION IS UNVEILING.
- Peter received revelation
about the vision.
Matthew
27:54 KJV Now when the centurion, and they that were with him,
watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done,
they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
AND A CENTURION, LIKE CORNELIUS, SEES JESUS IS SON OF GOD, just as
Cornelius saw this at the ninth hour when Peter preached!
THE THIRD DAY WAS WHEN SAUL SAW THE LIGHT AGAIN, as scales fell from
his eyes, and was given the instructions from Ananias about Jesus name
baptism and he received the Holy Ghost.
So Saul's blindness and Peter's lack of understanding lasted for key
time periods significant in Jesus' crucifixion.
THE MESSAGE IS GOD CAN SAVE PEOPLE THROUGH THE WORK OF THE CROSS THAT
OUR TRADITIONS DO NOT ALLOW US TO ACCEPT AS BEING ABLE TO BE SAVED.
THE CROSS CAN DO MORE IN A SOUL'S LIFE THAN WHAT OUR TRADITIONS ALLOW
US TO BELIEVE.
SUNDAY
EVENING SERVICE HIGHLIGHTED THIS POINT:
LET ME CHANGE GEARS HERE, AND SAY TO BELIEVERS, YOU NEED TO BELIEVE FOR
GOD TO DO MORE THAN WHAT YOU ALREADY ACCEPT HE CAN DO WITH YOURSELF.
Saul did not even believe all God would do with him, himself, after he
was saved.
Acts
22:17-21 KJV And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to
Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
(18) And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly
out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning
me. (19) And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and
beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee: (20)
And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing
by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that
slew him. (21) And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send
thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
Not only do WE not expect God to be able to save SOME PEOPLE, but WE
OURSELVES DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT GOD CAN DO FOR US!
AND perhaps it was because Saul saw the CHURCH react this way in their
error.
- In other words, false
traditions in the church will also hinder the faith of the new ones who
are saved!
Saul doubted God could use him anywhere, to help others come into the
church, because he was held up by his past reputation and experiences
in having imprisoned believers and endorsing Stephen's death.
- But God reassured Saul that
HE WOULD USE HIM.
YOU MAY NOT THINK GOD CAN DEAL WITH SOMETHING FROM YOUR PAST...
- YOUR MIND HAS A "TRADITION"
OR "RELIGIOUS ERROR" YOU NEED TO RELEASE.
- God can instantly free drug
addicts, and has done so, BUT YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO BELIEVE HE CAN DO
ANYTHING WITH YOUR PAST FOR HIM TO BE ABLE TO DO IT WITH YOU!
God can do so much for the believer, that MINISTERS need to be released
from traditions to accept it... and the church needs to be released
from traditions to accept it... and the people, themselves, need to be
released from doubt over their pasts that God can do it!
THIS IS THE UNCLEAR SIDE OF THE CROSS.
- Things God has to deal with
to save souls.
- THINGS THE CROSS CAN DO THAT
WE TEND TO NOT ACCEPT.
- WE TEND TO NOT HAVE FAITH FOR
THEM.
