Well we got a good list of check-ins this morning already. Yeah, and everybody's ready to go. And I haven't heard from you this morning, L7KG, if you're out there.
Hey, Phillip, that church can't stop lowering it. The cold feet could rage. Yeah, sir?
Where was I? I was having trouble hearing a voice, sir. So, we got touched, I guess, today?
Uh, in the morning. They're doing well. He's on a holster, and his sister and much more are popping in there.
Oh dude, that's a big fish. Come here, I'll show you how big it is. I'm just gonna try and move my stick.
That's the one that you talked about earlier. He's a ghost. Sure, he's seen one of the best bottles ever in the world.
He gets a really really big one. Wow. Here, it's a huge one, this is the best for the day, right?
Get it in your bag, son. Yeah, I got a whole load going on mine. Get up, get up, get going.
Can't do without a grassy little dirt piece of butt. I already did have it in me. Yeah, I ain't got much left to eat.
I'm just gonna go down and eat that. That's my draft order this week. I just catch up with everybody and get a job.
So I don't have to wait and sit. Thank you for watching! *Rain* I don't have any new checks from him.
*Rain* Give us a blessing for our wild study, Lord, and if we study your words, then we can gain a blessing and be able to learn more about you, Lord. We just ask, Lord, that you put your arms around Max and he might be safe to travel with. You know, they made it to Hong Kong now.
I just ask, Lord, that you bless him as he spreads the gospel, Lord, that they touch many hearts over there. Watch over Jeff today, Lord. He needs Bible study.
Give him guidance and wisdom, Lord, that, you know, we're able to have him lead out for us today. And I just thank you what it is you're willing to do this. Watch over each and every one of us, Lord, that your Holy Spirit is listening today.
Help touch the hearts of everybody here that we can spread your words, that we can spread the gospel that people will learn more about you. Watch over us today. And also, Lord, help us all pray in Jesus' name.
Amen. N66H. Whiskey, Bravo 7, Mike Alpha X-Ray.

And getting ready for tomorrow. We had a good flight from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore and then from Singapore to Hong Kong. And we got here and got in our room and had dinner.
And we're getting ready for tomorrow. So I just wanted to check in and say hi. Tell everybody that things went really well.
I preached ten sermons in Kuala Lumpur at the Masters Conference. Now I'm going to be pitching four times tomorrow on Saturday and then three times on Sunday. So that's the schedule.
But I appreciate you guys' plans for me and I'm really grateful that you guys are carrying on. And I just wanted to give you an update, let you know everything is going well. Tom, you have 7 to mirror.
How was the Chilamook ice cream? Hey, you know, the Tumamoc ice cream was just as good as it was in Oregon, yeah. They had a couple of tubbies there.
I was really surprised. But, uh, not that the local ice cream was good. So, yeah, everything's good.
Ben, go ahead. I want to know how much it costs. You know, I have no idea.
I haven't paid for any of my food. I have nothing. So, they're supplying everything.
So, I can't tell you that question. Roger, well we're glad you're having a good time and everything's going well here, way for you and Kathy. And glad that we had a safe trip over into colonial Hong Kong.
And especially happy that you came out here and said, in one and two, the single bill is good night for you, Roger. Yeah, copy that. It is good night for us here and I'm going to fly off here pretty quickly.
But, uh, it's sure good to hear your voice, and so wonderful that Jeff has made it possible for us to connect using, uh, this remote. So, uh, anyway, the Wi-Fi here is a lot better in Hong Kong than it was in Malaysia, so, um, I can hear you guys a lot better, over. Oh, Roger, well, you know, better technology, that they put more money into it, I'm sure.
Yeah, copy that. There's like 7 million people that live here on the Stoneman Islands. Lots of high-rise apartments.
We're right on the harbor so we can see the boats. They're loading and unloading all the containers. It's a busy place, over.
Roger, hold shows like that. You're not bored. You've got something to say out the window.
Yeah, copy that. We have to walk a little way to get to the water. Uh, but it's all good.
So anyway, I'll let you guys get on with the bottom of the study. Uh, Ben, what time, what time are you in today, over? We're doing 7:71 and we're starting at the first 12 and we're going to the end.
Copy that. Okay, I will look that over tonight. I can kind of keep up with you guys and I'll let you get all involved.
This is WB7MAS, I'll be clearing QRT on your final. Roger, don't touch you guys. Take care.
73 is WB7MAS. I'll talk with you and keep acting there. Okay guys, why don't you all max if you like, take a minute or two, that's no problem.
Good morning, Fag. Good morning, General. Would you wish you had some Merriam-Berry 5 to go with that filament ice cream?
Yeah, I sure wish I did have some Merriam-Berry 5, but we don't have that here. So, uh, anyway, um, yeah. Ha ha ha ha.
Appreciate that, Dan. Yeah, I don't think he heard you. No, I heard him.
I heard him fine. He's really loud. Anything in action?
Well, carry on with the bus, and I'm over there. And, uh, if you're identifying more, thank you for passing on forward over there. W7RK?
Yeah, W7RK, copy. I'll appreciate your prayers and I appreciate your support. Nothing to tell him yet.
KM-5S: KM-5S, wish you well and good luck in space travel. KM-5S: Right now, lucky guys, they're not in flight, but you're holding up the port there. Appreciate your closing in, prior.
WB-7EX. KM-5S: KM-5S, blessing Maxim. Well, a few of my five-file trucks, good to hear your voice, and God bless you, too, and hope you and Mark LaFayette are doing well.
Don't leave me something to miss. We are reporting back to the community. Thank you so much for checking in and helping us out with Toyota, and giving a home stretch.
And God bless your journey back home. God bless you. Yeah, God bless, Scott.
Thanks a lot. Appreciate you all. What's yours?
Alright, I'll turn this back over to Matt. Anybody else want to talk to her? Hey, thank you guys for taking the time to check in and let's have a little bit of a look at the back door.
I have a little bit of an actual home affair too. Go ahead and read this for me. 12-12-2-0-1.
Um, maybe my memory's failing me, but we did beat him this morning, didn't we? Yes, we did. Uh, yeah, uh, and, uh, right before this morning.
Wow, I'm losing it. Sorry, guys. Um, now don't forget to keep in mind, everyone, that I'm going to be reading from the New Team James Version.
That's Psalm 71, starting with verse 12. Oh, God, do not be far from me. Oh, my God, make haste to help me.
Let them be confounded and consumed, who are the adversaries of my life. Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor. This keep my heart, for I will hope continually and I will praise you, yet more and more.
My mouth shall tell of your righteousness and your salvation all the day, for I do not need your image. I will go in the strength of the Lord God. I will make mention of your righteousness in years only.
O God, you have taught me through my youth, and to this day I declare your wonders worked. Now also, when I am a holy man, O God, do not forsake me until I declare your strength to this generation. Your power to everyone is to come.
Also, your righteousness, O God, is very high. You have done great things, O God, who is like you. Verse 20.
You have shown me great and severe troubles, shall revive me again, and bring me up again from the depths of the earth. You shall increase my greatness, and make enter me on every side. 22.
Also with the link I will praise you, you and your faithfulness, O my God. To you I will sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel. My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to you, and my soul which you have redeemed.
My tongues also shall talk of your righteousness all the day long, for they are confounded, for they are brought to shame to seek my hurt. Alpha Alpha Phi Yankee back to met. Thank you for the reading this morning.
Very good job as usual. What comments we got? And let's just go back and talk to Max.
Good to hear Max and Kathy and the fact that they have drama back there. Go ahead. Roger, time to take off.
Well, I guess the ball rolling, yeah. Well, as we see here, and we talked about yesterday, this is David Holder. Of course, with enemies, he's being present.
And as the ball holder rolls around, it seems to be more useless, if you will. But David here, His folks are aging quite differently because he is determined to love God. And he is determined to serve God to the very end.
And despite, you know, he may be losing his balance. He may be losing his eyesight. And the whole night look at him is useless.
But he turns it on and he lives at 14 and 15. As he gets older, his praise increases. And he's going to continue to worship God.
He's going to continue to glorify God. And as we read on through the second half of the text... We also see that he is not depending on his own strength.
He is depending on two attributes that are not his, but that have sustained him, even from his youth through many trials and battles to this very time. He is depending on the righteousness of God, and he is depending on the strength of God. Again, two attributes that are not His own, but are available to Him and available to each of us as well.
That God is in the present, and He's going to continue to serve Him. And he's going to continue to lean on him. He's going to continue to grow in faith and praise to him.
And not a doggone thing that age and his decline can do about that. I think one New Testament picture of that was the end. 2 Corinthians 4:14, we see that as the body fades away and declines eternally, we are renewed each day.
And that is clearly David as his body declines here. He is renewed day by day. And though many in old age may be just resigned to maybe sitting by a window and looking out, he's not resigned to anything, but really he's recognizing a reassignment to share to the coming generations.
far ahead of him, if you will, the things of God. He's setting a precedent, not only for those in his presence, but for generations to come. As we look upon this text in his life today, what an example we have, can you tell us that example?
All true, and he does realize that he is getting older, obviously. Let me turn this one up, that's a little bit here. He does realize that he is getting aged, but he still relies on the Lord 100%.
He is in the message version, starting at 12. This is, um, this is interesting. God, don't just watch from the sidelines.
Come on. Run to my side. Just that verse, it's up to me that he is, he is, um, what do I, what I'm looking for?
He's got his doubts about his perspective on God, or he's got his doubts that God is there with him. Anybody else, uh, share that? Uh, just, just sharing that, what is that?
A perspective that's not true. Over. That's not true, is it?
I can't... Yeah, go ahead, Kevin. Well, no, that's not what he's saying, you know.
He knows God is with him, and we see that as he continues on there. But, anyway... Turn to me and be tender to me And I'll take up the lute and thank you To the tune of your faithfulness, God I'll make music for you on a harp Holy one of Israel When I open up a song to you I let out one small praise My rescued life, a song All day long I'm chanting about you in your righteous ways While those who tried to do me in Slink off looking ashamed There you go WP430 Wow Yes, go ahead Roger Well, uh, I end up at 5 o'clock playing during the old folks' home, so to speak, when they eat There's 40, at least 40 of them, some of them I know, and I take my hymn book and I play either hymns by memory or those that I see in the hymn book.
And that kind of reminds me of Fridays for me. And I take kids too for hymns. I still play the harp and the lute.
or the lyre means he has to, even in his old age, keep those calluses on those fingertips. Is that a good job? Over.
Again, is this the piano that you play? I'm mainly focusing in, well, really the only instrument that I'm really focusing in on is the viola, the large viola. and it even got my attention then.
It doesn't matter what you think. What you hear and the praises of the people really impacts others. So, anyway, good comments.
All right, any more comments? Go ahead. WV7VZL Please do, it feels great.
Yes. Verse 16 especially. Well, here.
I'm going to start back a little bit here on this. How about verse 14? Knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus...
will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you. That sure sounds like 1 Thessalonians chapter 4, doesn't it? For all things are for your sake that the grace which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God.
And then verse 16 that Kevin was highlighting. Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison.
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. That's what Kevin highlighted for us today.
Over. Isn't that great stuff? Yeah, love that.
I was thinking about Max doing what he's doing in Hong Kong, and the impact, talking about affecting other people, his impact of speaking to pastors and others, and how this continues out further and further and further and impacts literally thousands and thousands of people. even in some of these countries that don't even allow that type of preaching, etc. And music is certainly a part of that.
Music catches on, teaches us the joy of praising. And I love the way David states all of this as well. I was just looking at Psalm 71, 19.
Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the high heavens. You have done great things, O God, who is like you? Of course, nobody is like him.
Our reference goes back to Luke 149. For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. A lot of these cross-references go right back to other psalms.
And, of course, Isaiah 40, 18. To whom, then, will you liken God or what likeness compare him? There is none.
Exodus 15, 11. Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Boy, that question, we've talked about that before.
Among what gods? There are no other gods. Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?
I don't think so. I don't think there is any other. Anyway, there's my perspective.
Any other comments? We're getting close to closing up for the day, but it was nice talking to Max. It was a few minutes, but well worth it.
Any other comments? Go ahead. KM, Funga.
Well, go ahead. Yeah, since we were talking about music, verse 22 says, I praise you and your faithfulness, O God. The whole psalm is about that faithful-based relationship between God and David.
Okay, I'm sorry about that. Yes, this was our partnership, which is what was supposed to be happening with us as well. My wife, I watch her just all day long, every day, and I watch her grandma.
Grandma Wondering. Every other word out of her mouth was praise Jesus. even though she could hardly say it with her clacking teeth.
But personal relationship, every day, every hour, every minute. And I have learned after being married to my wife for 50 years, this is reality for her and for me. Just look around, watch what's going on in your life, and say, praise Jesus, and throw your arms up, over.
Got to get our mindset right. Any other comments? Uh, this morning.
Actually, I don't even know what time of day it is. Is that 87 QDL? Uh, QDL, hang on a minute.
Yeah, I think it was K-E-7-Q-D-L? Yeah, it's just Joe up in Reno. Yeah, I got through the, uh, I'm listening this morning and been doing my, uh, chores.
I didn't get in until this now and really sat down to do anything. I've been listening to the whole, whole thing on the other side of the room with the red speakers. Anyway...
The subject of the comment here is once you own the MRIs and things are wore out as usual from a heavy construction operator, then I've got to go to make a decision as to what to do. One wants to send me to PT, one wants to send me to PC, the neurosurgeon combination. So, sometime I need to get a hold of them and find out what's going on.
Yeah, it's broken down from what it was, and they've got to make a decision as to what they want to do. Okay, Joe, thanks for the poor concern. And Al, did you copy Joe and Reno?
Roger that. Good copy. Yes, I have him here on the list.
Okay, Joe, we've got you on the prayer list, and I'll be praying for you in just a moment. Thanks for the update. Please keep us updated, Joe, as you figure out what's going on.
Okay, yeah, it's been one of those deals. In the middle of most of my life, I was a carpenter. For those who don't know what a millwright's salary is, you can look it up, or I'll tell you.
I'll explain it to you eventually. But the carpenter end of it is what tore me up. And they're finding furs and all kinds of old goodies in there.
And they've got to make a decision. But I think you want to put me in the PT first. and then go from there and then the last result is going to be surgery.
So what they found out was the nerves are getting more and more squished, although the one good thing is the central nervous system has... Thank you, Pastor Jeff. Good morning, everyone here on the net.

So we can help reform our nation and our government, the leaders of our country at state, national, and local level.

========== ### Scripture Reading (KJV) Psalm 71:12-22 <blockquote> 12 Mine enemies falsely accuse me, but I look to thee: help me. 13 Forsake me not, O God, my strength. 14 My God, my mercy, and my salvation, thou that makest me to hope. 15 My soul is thine, save it; for I have sought thy precepts. 16 I have remembered thy name in the night, and have kept thy law. 17 My soul hath kept thy testimonies, and I love them exceedingly. 18 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies; for all my ways are before thee. 19 Let my cry come near before thee, O Lord: give me understanding according to thy word. 20 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word. 21 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes. 22 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness. </blockquote>
### Study Summary The study of Psalm 71:12-22 centered on David's enduring faith and determination to serve God despite his aging. The passage highlights David's reliance on God's righteousness and strength, emphasizing his commitment to praising God and sharing his faith even in old age. David's faith is a testament to his trust in God's provision and his unwavering hope in Him.
David's plea for God's help and his declaration of his soul belonging to God underscore his deep faith and his recognition of God's role as his strength and salvation. The passage also reflects on the importance of remembering God's name and keeping His law, even in the quiet of the night. David's love for God's testimonies and his commitment to keeping His precepts are evident, with his soul devoted to God's word and his ways always before Him.
The discussion touched on the theme of renewal and praise in old age, referencing 2 Corinthians 4:14, which speaks to the hope and renewal that comes through faith, even as one ages. Participants reflected on the importance of music in praising God, with Roger sharing his experience playing hymns for the elderly. This highlighted the role of music in expressing faith and praise, a practice that can bring comfort and joy to those in their later years.
