I concur and good copy Ok, understand you copy Yeah, he copied Thank you Scott Thank you. Thank you. Alright, this is WB7MAX, Net Control for the West Coast Bible Study. We're going to get started with our Bible study. Al, KJ7QQH, I have another prayer request. This came in from Howie AI6J, and it's regarding his sister Karen. He says, "Quick prayer update. I am doing well. My sister Karen, her leukemia is still in remission. But she's having a bone marrow transplant next month and feeling good. Having some issues with the cardio thickening of her heart wall. May have always been there, so she's having more tests today. Also having issues with her thyroid and having more tests on that. Appreciate prayers for all, especially upcoming marrow procedure where she will be in the hospital for a month and in isolation after for 100 days. to protect her body from contagious colds, etc. Also, her salvation that God would reveal himself to her. So this is a prayer request coming in via email from Howie AI6J regarding his sister, Karen. We've been praying she would get a bone marrow transplant. They have found a match, and she will be doing that next month, provided the rest of her health issues are up to speed. So we need to pray the bone marrow transplant will go forward and that it will be successful. Copy there, Al. All right, thank you. Appreciate that. So that's Howie AI6J and Sister Karen and her upcoming bone marrow transplant. All right, it is time for us to get started with a West Coast Bible study. Is there any last minute check-in? Please come now. Any relays? All right, we're going to get started with the West Coast Bible study. Being conditioned still are not great today, but we are coping with what we've got. We are in 1 Corinthians 6, verses 9 through 11. And we're going to be reading this section in which Paul talks to the Corinthians about how that justification is always seen in the sanctification and the changed life of the believer. And if there is no changed life, there is no salvation. And we'll talk about why that is and what we need to think about people who claim to be Christians, but who live just like they did before their profession of faith. All right, but before we get started, we want to open our time together in prayer. So let's pray together. Our kind and gracious Father, we thank you so much for your word. We pray, Lord, that it would be engrafted into our souls. We pray, Lord, that we would understand its meaning and its message. We pray that we would live out its application in our lives. Lord, we pray that through reading your word, we would come to know you better, love you better, and serve you better. And Father, we just pray today that you would knit our hearts together in love. We pray that we would be supportive and encouraged of each other. And Lord, as we go away from this Bible study, help us to remember what we learned. And Father, I pray that we would just lift each other up in prayer throughout the day as we think about the needs that are represented in our group. Father, we ask all of these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen. All right, Scott, N7NPA, I need you to read for me, if you could, please. Scott, if you could read 1 Corinthians 6, verses 9-11. That's 1 Corinthians 6, verses 9-11 there, Scott. Go ahead. All righty. Good morning to everyone. I'll be reading out of the New American Standard Version this morning. And we're picking up our story in 1 Corinthians 6, verse 9. Or do you not know? that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God, do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulteresses, nor epaminites, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor tuppeters nor drunkards nor revelers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God such were some of you that you were washed that you were sanctified that you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the spirit of God and that brings us up to verse 12 back it comes in 7 NPA Scott, thank you so much for that reading. Good job. All right. Any comments on this section, please come down with your callsign. Top Alpha. Top Alpha, go ahead, Scott. Well, this is pretty straightforward to me there, Max. If you struggle in any one of these and you haven't given your life to Christ, you're doomed pretty simple as that now if you've given your life to Christ and still from time to time you will have thoughts like that well then we need repentance and we need to continue to gravitate to the foot of the cross that's how I see it there Max and so then Pierre Yeah, Scott, well said. And I think the key word there is practice, as you said. You know, what he's talking about is here who he's talking about people who are characterized by these things. You know, it's one thing to covet. It's another thing to be covetous. It's one thing to get drunk once. It's another thing to be a drunkard. And so the terminology here, Scott, is terminology of characterization. These things characterize the life. And if these things characterize the life, then what is being said here is that this person is not saved. We may still commit a sin from time to time, but those things don't characterize us. And so we struggle against all of these sins, but they don't dominate our life. We largely have victory over them. And they are things that we struggle with at the edge, some more, some less. But the point is, is that if we practice these things, we're not saved. If we struggle against these things and largely have victory over them, then that's an indication that we are saved. Because justification is always seen in the sanctification of the life. Good comment there, Scott. Any follow-up? Go ahead. Well, it reminds me, when I come to realization of this, this is how it works in real life, Max. In log trucking, you have some really, really fancy log trucks. I mean, polished aluminum and chrome all over them. And then you have some that are just little workhorses, you know, like a little pack horse, just there for you every day to do the work. Well, when I was really young, I coveted the big, fancy, shiny log trucks. But over time... I realized that they were a lot of work, that all I was doing in my downtime was polishing and prepping. I realized that the old little pack horse with one stack, not very high so I didn't have to worry about hitting limbs, just plain wheels, put mud guards around it where I didn't have to deal with washing it all the time. And then I took that time and focused on spiritual needs. That's what this kind of looks like to me, Max. Over. Scott, I think that's a great illustration. And, you know, when we come out of the old life, for example, in our context here, you know, in 1 Corinthians chapter 6, we're talking earlier about Christian brothers who were defrauding other Christian brothers. And, you know, there was a temptation to take this before a secular court of law. And so there were thieves in the congregation who were stealing from other believers and defrauding them. And Paul is saying here, thieves will not inherit the kingdom of God. And so if you are defrauding other people in the church, you're not a saved person. But it's the nature of a person when they get saved, as you well said, those sins fade away. you know, it's like when you get saved, the power of sin is broken, and the practice of sin is gradually departed from, and the practice of righteousness and a proper set of priorities in life emerges, it grows, it deepens, and it develops, so that there is this transformation of our desires, our attitudes. our longings and so now like you say instead of worried about chrome on your truck you're worried about did you get an extra 15 minutes in the bible today and so scott that's a great illustration of the transformative nature of salvation that it actually impacts our attitudes and our behavior all right other comments please come down with your call sign go ahead Thank you. categories that are not compatible with righteousness of God, with the kingdom of God. And it's pretty broad, really, in the language that it is here. So, here's the thing. and with homosexuality, the Greek reform is corny, or corny, yes, it comes down to sexual immorality. Whether it's fornication, sex outside of marriage, or prostitution, what have you, it's a pretty broad term. But I think one of the main points here too I think I just got touched on is that... Don't be deceived. In other words, grace is not there to indulge in sin. Grace is transformative of it. If you think grace... will teach you to be alive. You're greatly mistaken. It is great. Mission, migration, true faith, or left-wing true grace. It is a gift, but it is also transformative. And that's what he's pointing out here. He's just going to show you where you, Well, you know, Gumbler and those categories, we probably all said Gumbler. We were pretty much living for, you know, our own priorities, not God's before we were saved. And whatever sins and indulgences we engaged in, Gumbler and Gumbler and some of those categories. But the fact is, the point is, don't just be yourself. It is great because, uh, uh, uh, so many times, three of us, when we have the Spirit of God in us, we need to be sensitive and think that sensitivity. And it's sad we can't write it down in our culture. to how much sin is just socially acceptable. I mean, people all the time shack up with each other and don't think twice about it. And sometimes in many churches, there's so much of this, you know, behavior that is not ever even addressed as we see more from the pulpit there. And it is a mistake. because sin is a very destructive thing, and especially within the church. Paul really hit home with it pretty, pretty strongly. I think there's no convincing of work here, 27th and 10th. - Kevin, great comment, and I really appreciate you bringing out the issue of self-deception. You know, Paul warns us against self-deception in this chapter, let no man deceive himself there in verse 9. And we saw that earlier in chapter 3 in verse 18 where it says, let no man deceive himself. And then we read in Galatians chapter 6 and verse 3, if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. And so over and over again we have these warnings against self-deception because by nature we lie to ourselves and tell ourselves that we are doing okay when we're not. And the only way to avoid self-deception is to allow the Word of God to shape our self-perceptions and not our own misguided judgment and certainly not the misguided judgment of the world. And so this whole issue of deception about whether someone is saved or not, this self-deception about whether I am saved or not, is something that the Bible warns us against. And you brought that out really well, Kevin. And the way to avoid self-deception is to look at the fruits. You know, Jesus said, a good tree brings forth good fruit. And so if you are washed and sanctified and justified through repentance of sin and faith in Jesus... then, as you said, Kevin, we're going to see that transformative behavior in that these sins will no longer characterize us. Not that we won't struggle with them, like Scott in 7NPA said. We are going to struggle. But they're not going to dominate us. They're not going to characterize us. And we're certainly not going to justify them and defend them and encourage others to behave, to engage in them. And that is what was part of the problem here. All right. Good comment, Kevin. Thank you. Other comments, please come now. Alright, well I just want to point out here that The unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God. And the kingdom of God he's talking about here is that future kingdom that is going to be established when Jesus returns. Over and over again, the kingdom of God is promised to the saved at the end when Jesus returns and the new heavens and the new earth are instituted. And so it's really important for us to understand that there is a future to look forward to. There is a blessedness that comes. And it comes to those who have repented of their sins, trusted in Jesus, and as a result are justified. As it says in verse 11, that is declared righteous. They're sanctified, which means they're regenerated and they're growing. And they're washed, which means that not only are they cleansed from their sins, but they've also been publicly baptized in that washing of the water that is the declaration of the salvation. that has already been accomplished in the life. And so that wonderful kingdom that has been promised of the rule and reign of Christ, where he runs the earth instead of the wicked running the earth, is there for these believers. So anyway, other comments, please come now. Papa Alpha. Papa Alpha, go ahead. Well, just putting everything in context, you know, where this was all taking place in Corinth. Corinth could be a sister city to Los Angeles, you know, a bustling seaport. You know, there was... there was off-color entertainment. The wealthy citizens looked down on the lowlife. It was and Paul was trying to right to church in that setting. And so I just share that, Max, as a backdrop of what we're looking at. Corinth could be real similar to like Los Angeles and the Hollywood elite, Los Angeles and the shipping cargo that goes in and out of the port, you know, and what that brings in, foreign sailors, a rough a rough crowd to deal with. You know, and then you have those that are struggling to make ends meet because everything's so expensive because the elites don't care, and they control the government. So I hope that helps for the group around the table this morning. Max and 7NPA. Yeah, Scott, you're exactly right. The Corinthian culture was an incredibly evil culture, just like that of, as you said, Los Angeles or San Francisco or Seattle, New York. Any of these big port cities have a phenomenal amount of evil in them because people come from all around the world to them. to commit their sins and then go back home because of the tremendous amount of trade and travel and shipping and all the things that go on there. And Corinth was at the crossroads of an east-west commerce from the Aegean Sea to the Ionian Sea and also the north-south commerce between the Iberian Peninsula there and, of course, the mainland of Greece. And so there was a ton of people coming in and out. Aphrodite was the goddess of Corinth, and she's the god of sexual immorality. And so this kind of behavior that's described here in verse 9 and 10 was rampant in the city. It was the norm. And as Christians, we've got to stand apart from that. We've got to stand separate from that. And we can't indulge in the sins of the culture that have been so normalized that everybody just shrugs their shoulders when people engage in it. We can't be among those. We have to shine as light in the midst of the crooked and perverse generation in which we live. And it's precisely the fact that we don't live like these folks. or aren't characterized by these sins that make us so remarkable and so different. And, of course, the reason why we don't is because our natures have been changed. We've been born again. And because of that new nature, we now have new desires. Like Paul says, I now delight in the law of God after the inward man. He says, "I want to obey God." And yes, we still have the flesh which tugs at us, we still have the world which tugs at us, we still have the devil which tempts us, but we put up a fight. We fight the good fight of faith against those things. We don't just indulge in them, justify them, defend them. practice them in ever greater degrees, and encourage others to engage in them as well. And so that's the difference between a saved person and an unsaved person. They have a new nature, and because they have a new nature, they have new behavior. And before they were serving Satan and self, and now they're serving Christ, and they're indwelt by the Holy Spirit. And you can see that transformation in their attitude. You can see it in their behavior. And if you don't see it, it's because that salvation was never accomplished. So, Scott, great comment there. Appreciate that. All right, any other comments, please come down. *Rain* All right, I got a couple of comments here. I got a comment from Darrell WB7AOT. Darrell says, good morning, Max, and everyone on the West Coast Bible Study Net. I'm listening on the Utah SDR with an iPhone. We have minus 22 degrees Fahrenheit here this morning, and the forecast is for a high of minus 8 degrees. So Darrell is staying indoors. Thank you for that. I also got... A good comment here from Doc W6RLJ. He says, "The morning prayer based on God's promise to each of us, open to each of us to claim." And then he gives me a series of Bible verses here, which are wonderful promises. All right, well, thank you, Doc, and thank you, Darrell, WB7AOT. Darrell, we got you checked in. The net would also like to acknowledge Peter KJ7BA and Philip K6HSV. They came in a little bit later here on the Half Moon Bay SDR. See both of you guys there and appreciate you being there. All right, any other comments on our passage, please come down with your call sign. ZXN. ZXN, Kevin, please go ahead. Yeah, good comments. I just want to touch on verse 11 real quick in the hope that it gives us and gives everyone. You know, no matter the background or what history with sin and the depth or breadth of that sin, God can save you. As he points out here, you know, such as many were you. you know, we're known for the practice of these sins, of this ungodliness. And, you know, I heard it once said, the church is not a museum of saints, but it's a hospital of sinners. And, It's exactly true. You know, it speaks to the perseverance of the saints, if you will, security and center, and a different perspective in that some have come out of some deep sin, and it is a process of sanctification, and sometimes it does take time. But the focus and the emphasis is the transformation that takes place the salvation that God has given you and the work that God is doing in you. And that will lead you and take you away from this lifestyle or practice of sin that you may have come from. So the hope is that no matter... your sin. Salvation is available to you and to me by grace, through faith, by the work of Christ on the cross. Maybe some of that example. Yeah, Kevin, really well said. And, you know, I know some people who say, oh, well, someone's guilty of that sin that can't be saved. That is not true. When you look at this list of sins, it doesn't matter what your background is. You can be saved, and we need to hold that hope out to people. True Christians may be saved out of the worst of backgrounds. You know, here's someone who is living a life of fornication or a life of idolatry or a life of adultery or a life of homosexuality or some sort of gender deviation. There is no one that is beyond the reach of the grace of God. And so the amazing thing is, is that the worst of sinners can be unshackled by the Lord Jesus and brought to saving faith and transformed and be washed clean. for every other sinner that they too can be saved no matter what they've done, no matter who they are. Turn from your sin, turn to Jesus, trust in Him, and look to Him to change your heart and to change your life and to wash you and cleanse you and give you victory over those former sins that so bound you that you fall hopeless. There's always hope in Jesus Christ. Thank you, Kevin. Good comment. All right. Any other comments, please come down. All right. The net would like to acknowledge Mark, W7UAR. Mark, see you there on the Utah SDR. Thank you for being there. Mark, we got you checked in. All right. Any other comments on our passage? Oh, there's Jeff, AK6OK. Good morning, Jeff. See you there. Got you checked in as well. We'll tell you about your high blood pressure, brother, and then God will bring that down. Okay. All right. Any other check-ins and or comments, please come now. Thank you, Max. All right, real good. Okay, I just want to make a couple of comments here about our passage. You know, there's some applications that flow out of these simple verses here. And the first one is that Christians must live their profession if their claims to conversion are to be considered true. You know, I was raised with what was called the carnal Christian doctrine. And the carnal Christian doctrine basically taught that if you just made a verbal profession of faith in Jesus, but you lived in these kind of sins that are described here, you are still saved. You just lose a few rewards when you got to heaven. And so it's like, get your ticket out of hell, get your ticket into heaven, live any way you want, and you'll lose some rewards, but you'll still wind up in heaven. That carnal Christian doctrine was a doctrine that was designed to comfort false professors straight into hell. And so it's important for us to understand that the Christ that saves is also the Christ that transforms. And if there's no transformation, there's no salvation. That's what James is saying when he says faith without works is dead. And so conversion always produces a radical change of life. He says such were some of you, but now you are different. And so if that radical transformation is not seen in a life where there's a complete reorientation of our focus away from sin and on to Christ, and there hasn't been any salvation. So we've got to do away with this doctrine that says Christians can live a life of open, willful, defiant sin and justify it and still wind up in heaven. That is a doctrine of demons. It's not a doctrine of the Bible. Alright, any other comments? Please come down with your call sign. Papa Alpha. Papa Alpha? Papa Alpha, go ahead, Scott. Well, that's true, Max, and to me what that looks like in real life is, How many people around the table here this morning, Max, has filed an insurance claim one way or the other, and then right in the cusp of the moment, they wiggle out of it? This cardinal Christian doctrine, basically, Max, is just fire insurance. They think that they got fire insurance, but when the rubber meets the road, they ain't got nothing but a piece of paper that isn't worth anything, Mr. Max, in 7 MPH. That's right. That's right. It'll be a fake claim. It'll be adjudicated to be a fake claim on the Day of Judgments because true Christians are expected to leave the old life behind. And if they don't leave the old life behind, then they have gotten a false assurance of salvation. You know, I've heard people say, well, you know, they went forward when they were a kid. They're not living for the Lord, but I know that they're safe. Well, you don't know any such thing, because it's the nature of Christianity that there's never a separation between justification and sanctification. Okay? And if you are declared righteous before God, then you start living righteous lives. in this life. And it doesn't mean you're sinless. It doesn't mean you're perfect. It doesn't mean you're not going to struggle and struggle really hard against remaining sin. But it does mean that over the process of time, over the decades, there's a faithfulness to Christ. There's a fleeing from sin. There's a learning of the scriptures. There's a growth in grace and a knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And our behavior becomes better. It's not the work of a day. It's the work of decades, right? But what you're looking at is the direction of the life. And if the direction of the life is moving towards holiness and towards Christ and away from sin, then that person has every reason to think that they are saved. And, of course, you're not saved because you change. You change because you're saved. Good comment, Scott. All right, other comments, please come now. What's the follow-up? Do you want to follow up? Yeah, Max, where I'm coming from is, you know, in the ministry out in the woods that God has laid upon me, I have an individual that, through engaging and practicing, talking about spiritual things. He says he was baptized. Well, great. That is awesome. Giving your life to Christ and being subversed in sin to arise and walk in a newness of life. Well, over time, what was revealed in this individual was that he was baptized because at the youth group, that was all the pretty girls. And so he was more interested in the girls. It wasn't a true confession of faith. And so that's what I want to share with you on the basis of what I shared with you there before, Mac. And so now I'm saying... - Ha ha, buddy, you're playing with fire. 7:00 p.m. - Yeah, Scott Wohl said, you know, people make professions of faith for all kinds of wrong motives. And in that case, you know, he wanted to be accepted as a Christian so he could have access to the girls in the church. And, of course, that's a corrupt motive. That's not why you make a profession of faith. That's not why you get baptized. And so you make a profession of faith because you want to be saved from your sins and their consequences. And, you know, God doesn't save us so that we can continue in sin. He saves us so that we can be delivered from sin, both in terms of... of our justification and our sanctification. So, yeah, you know, here's a guy, God, who's deceiving himself. Well, maybe he wasn't deceiving himself. Maybe he knew he was corrupt, but he just played the game in order to get the girls. Well, let's examine ourselves and see whether we'd be in the faith. And the way we know we're in the faith is because not only do we believe the right truth that Jesus is the Son of God, that he died for our sins, that He rose from the grave, that we have repented of our sins and trusted in Him, but also we see that transformation in our behavior. So God didn't save us from the consequences of our sins so we could continue in our sins. He saved us from the consequences of our sins so we could depart from our sins. And so faith, it doesn't have the kind of works that leads to a life of increasing holiness is a dead faith, not a real one. So, yeah, Scott, he might have thought he had his insurance policy, but he didn't have anything at all. All right, any final comments or prayer requests? Before we go to prayer, please come down with your comment or prayer request. Come ahead. Go ahead. You know, I would like to suggest that maybe even the permit is not the key to the future of the national park. We are not sure, but as we listen to those decisions in our hearts, to either turn for or against. And if we turn for, the Holy Spirit looks in and gives us a series of suggestions that as we follow them, progressively change our life until we are changed to what Christ wants us to be in the termination of our life itself. So through these suggestions, and as we followed him, we become disciples, we became Christians, we become a life of examples of what the Lord would like us to be. And then he overlooked those two reasons and because they're great. And, you know, I look at him like he wants to save people more than I do. Yet he instigates a thought, a prayer, an action to help other people make a determination for Christ. And more than that, that she does that in a way that's my love for him because of what he's done for me and in my life. Yeah, amen. Well said. And we need to listen to those promptings of the Holy Spirit in our heart, and that's how we are transformed and changed. You know, God sends his spirit into the hearts of those that he has saved. He also sends the spirit to bring conviction to those who are lost. And the question is, is are we going to listen to that voice of conscience? Are we going to listen to that conviction of the Holy Spirit, that guidance? You know, it says in the book of Isaiah, you know, that there's a voice behind us that says, this is the way, walk you in it. And so we not only have the Word of God to guide us, we also have the Spirit of God working in our hearts prompting our conscience, giving us understanding, insight, bringing the scriptures back to our memory, bringing perhaps a message that we heard back to our memory, and guiding us with reference to how we should choose in any one particular situation. So that's a really important comment, and thank you for that. Okay, I got a prayer request here from Carol, KK7TPO. Carol says, I'm still struggling with my back. I'm thankful the weather has been so nice since I'm unable to do the work snow would require. So let's continue to pray for Carol, KK7TPO, and for her back and the lower back pain she's having, and for her deliverance from it. Okay, any other comments or prayer requests, please come now. Papa Alpha. Papa Alpha, go ahead. Yeah, I'd like for everybody to lift Beck up their backs. You know, Beck is here faithfully every day. I love his... thirst for the gospel, his desire to take a spiritual walk deeper into the foundation of biblical principles. I really enjoy his sense of humor. There's a reason he's not here today. This whole week, He's been dealing with this leg, Max, and comes up to the point today, here Friday, that he's been listening but not participating. So I would just encourage everybody today to continually lift Max up there in prayer. Back there to you, Max, in 7 MPH. All right, Scott, real good. Thank you for that request. So we're praying for Beck today for the swelling in his leg to go down and for whatever is causing that to be remedied. Scott, appreciate that. Okay, any final prayer requests before Al leads us in prayer? Please come down. Alright Al, KJ7QQH, please go ahead and close in prayer for us. Thank you Pastor Matt. Good morning to everyone on the net today. Let's all come together. as they go to the cross in prayer. Heavenly Father, we thank you for today and this lesson and let it be a tool that we can use to follow the right path for our own lives and that your direction and guidance will lead us to our own salvation. Today we'd like to bring some praise and praise. prayers before the foot of the cross. We first lift up Doc with a big praise. Thanks that he is home now from the islands of Kiribati. And we also offer praise that the government was capable with the mission to follow him and him to go forth and proceed with their medical mission to the people there. We lift up the Fed and Sec. O.H. and that you would speak to him in his preparation and that his words and your message will be delivered effectively to the people you'll be preaching to. We lift up Howie AI6J and his sister Karen, and who was in need of a bone marrow transplant, and that we give thanks and praise that there was a match found, and next month she'll be able to have that bone marrow transplant. We ask for protection and guidance for the hands of the doctors that that transplant will go effectively, and for her salvation, We have a big list of prayers that we know that you know. We just also looked at those with unspoken prayers from the silent multitude. From our list today, we have Mike, W7TWO, would be the step for the healing of his temporal arteritis. that has reoccurred. We pray for the wisdom, for the best meditation to use to combat that. And for salvation of Jaden, his grandson, who's immersed in rock and roll culture. We noticed that the king of rock and roll was not as large in church, playing bopple music. We asked that maybe you would be able to give that same guidance to Jaden for his own salvation. and also for the salvation of his sister Barbara. We heard Brother Scott mention our brother Beck, Alpha Alpha 5 Yankee. We lift him up in prayer for his leg swelling. I can relate with that and also his knee pain. And he has a friend, Anthony, W7BJM, who's on a long trip, a road trip, and he requests travel mercy for him as he goes along that trail and just keeps him safe. For Cody, KI7TRM, who's struggling with his insomnia. We also looked up his niece Zoe, who is a 16 year old, and we prayed for her protection and repentance and salvation. We mentioned Jeff, aka 6OK, our brother, who is having issues with high blood pressure. We asked that you be with him and regulating his blood pressure and his health returns there. Jeff also has a niece, Haley, who needs salvation also. Grace from God to you. process of past injustices done to her. She is making good improvement in her life. Praise there. For Autumn, we pray for her mental stability and development and her social skills. Deliverance of all theological beliefs. and for her salvation. We lift up my W72WO again for his brother-in-law Randy who needs to find an appropriate house. We lift up Doug Esh and that he's able to to continue this process. Everything that he needs to following the death of his wife Deidre back in July. We looked up Carol. They have a TPO who is still suffering with that case. She had a wrench in her back. She's still covering the ancient map, we ask for relief there, and also for her son-in-law Chris, KL5SC, a believer who had angelic baptism, and we pray for healing for future participants. To be successful, we pray for protection for Alex, Carol's seven-year-old great-granddaughter, for among godly interns who've been at home, and for their salvation. I hope I got all of the the hotbeds going off the pressure and I know that there are many more prayers and praises Lord you know our hearts and our minds. We just ask that you be with us always Thank you for this time together. We ask that you be a protection guide bring us all back here again tomorrow. We thank you for the Lord's for your goodness, mercy, and grace in each one of us and for the gift of your son Jesus, Jesus Christ. We pray all these things first. Amen. This is KJ7Q2H. Back to you, Dr. Mott, at Net Control. Thank you, Al, for that prayer. Really appreciate that. And that would like to acknowledge Les in 6LJF there in Redding. Les, thank you for being with us on the Aspen Bay SDR. Also, Peter, KJ7BA, and Philip, K6HSV, thank you guys for being there as well. All right, this is WB7EMAX, Net Control for the West Coast Power Study. I want to thank all the stations who checked in this morning and those who stood by to give us a clear operating frequency. We meet here seven days a week at 6 a.m. in order to read the scriptures, understand their meaning message and application, and then pray for grace and mercy to live out what we learn and for God to meet the needs of those that are in our circle of fellowship. And so I just want to encourage you all to come back and meet with us tomorrow. And as Scott N7NPA said, let's remember to continue to hold up Ed N6XOH. He's going to be preaching tomorrow. And Jeff AK6OK with his high blood pressure. And, of course, Carol with her back and Beck with his leg. So anyway, thank you for bringing those requests. I really appreciate that. When bank conditions are poor, it's hard to get everybody covered and communicated. So you know we're doing our best here, and we really appreciate all of you and your continued prayers for each need that you're aware of on the net. All right, this is WB7MAX. I'll be returning this frequency to regular amateur use. I'll be clear and standing by. YSI. CYSI, go ahead. Yeah, Max, I was just thinking about the study here. We didn't get to a lot of the fan conditions early, Towards the end, I was able to hear and appreciate what I was hearing, thankful for it. One of the things that I've learned, or at least I've seen in my own life, is the older I get, and the more I realize that so much of my heart has had to go through a lot of changes. a lot of growth, spiritual growth, a lot of changing, you know, my views and that sort of thing. But one of the things that is really, you know, comes out of me as the older I get, the more I understand what Paul referred to, and I think it's, he refers to that in the Corinthians, but the seventh chapter talks about repentance. And, you know, that godly repentance is something that God gives. Yeah Roger, well I would have been here the whole time had I changed the channel but thank you for the players and I appreciate Scott you bringing that up, that was really nice. I just had my radio on the wrong frequency, what can I say? Scott this is WB7MAX, yeah copy all and you're the first ham that's ever made that mistake. Nobody's ever made that mistake in the whole university ham radio besides you. So we're going to send you a special trophy for that. Yeah, Beck, we've all done that. So anyway, no worries, brother. I'm glad you're okay. I was kind of concerned about you seeing your call sign there on the SDR, but no answer. I thought, well, he's got his leg propped up somewhere and he's just able to listen. So anyway, I did check you and Sandy both in and glad that you're okay. You got a joke for the day, Emma?
