I have to confer with my wife before I get off, he can get that idea. I just want to mention the fact that there's an adult dinner this week. And so there's a sign up sheet in the back. And so if you'd like to be part of our adult dinner, I don't know where we're going, where are we going? We're going to smokey bones. All right. So if you'd like to be part of our adult dinner, any adult, if you're out of high school, you're welcome to come. Put your name down, we have a great time of fellowship. And also, I want to mention that, finally, my book is out. Instead, the book of Revelation made plain and clear. And not to brag in my own book, but it's really good. And the whole idea of writing this book wasn't that you'd only concentrate on this book, it was to give you the confidence that you could open the book of Revelation and study it on your own and come to you know, great conclusions. And so, we have, I don't know if there are any copies left in the back and you know I am, we're selling them just for what I paid for him not trying to make any money off of our church family. No, we really are. And if we were out of books, you can go to Barnes noble.com. Or you can go to Amazon and you can buy the book through them. And you can also get an E book, if those of you that like to read it on your device through amazon.com as well. So having said that, open your Bibles along with me to Numbers chapter 14. And we'll be picking up where Frank was supposed to leave off in verse 11.

Father, we can be for you in Jesus name because we realized that there literally is no other name under heaven, by which men must be saved. And Father, how he longed to see those we love those that are close to us and even those that are around us, and even the strange to come and know you, and to have that assurance of eternal life, because we recognize the times in which we're living, and therefore, Father, our prayer becomes even more earnest and, and just anxious because we desire to not see anyone left behind. But for all to come to the knowledge of you, and to meet you in a great gathering in this guy. And so Father, I pray that you would 19 use me to speak and to teach you where to lead your people. And I pray this all in Christ Jesus name, Amen. And Amen. You know, it's interesting when you look at the children of Israel in this portion of Scripture, and we wonder how could they not believe God? And I don't know why, but it made me think of a lab experiment. experiment I did when I was taking microbiology. I can't remember if it was my graduate school or undergraduate when it's been more than 50 years ago. It's hard to remember Anything but anyway, when I was in microbiology, my lab partner like, by the way, do you know why you have a lab partner? Because someone has to do the work just Anyway, my lab partner and I, we decided we were going to produce and penicillin resistant staphylococcus staphylococcus. And so what we did is we took a petri dish deep one, and we put it on a slant. If you guys some of you science guys, you know what I'm talking about. And you landed hard with a slant. And then we took we put staphylococcus bacteria across it, and it started growing. And then after started growing, then you fill the rest of it up with the medium. And you know, so that it was level and then we took little penicillin drops and put it across the top. What happened is where the penicillin tabs or little white tabs it looked like something you punch up a piece of paper and where it was closest to staphylococcus bacteria. It killed it.
