Well, gentlemen, I really appreciate this opportunity. I've heard many things about this conference, what a treat it has been to be here. Thank you so much for letting me come. It's always a treat to come to California. My wife was raised in Bakersfield, so I know that California makes good women. But it's always a treat to come back here. And I really appreciate so much. The emphasis on pastors, that was unique, what we just saw. I really, really enjoyed that. Moved my heart. Which kinda leads me to a story that I heard J. Vernon McGee, that great Bible teacher, had a friend who pastored in Texas. And he was pastoring there, and that church had a middle-aged couple join the church. It was one of those couples, you guys have all seen them, where the woman controlled everything. She controlled her husband, she controlled everything she was involved in. She was very, very controlling. And they joined this church, and the pastor would have none of it. He would not let her control him. He would not let her control the church. And one day, she got so frustrated, she said to her pastor, Pastor, if you were my husband, I would poison you. The pastor very calmly said, ma'am, if you were my wife, I'd take it. May I invite you to go to the book of Philippians, the book of Philippians. While you're turning there, let me refresh your memory as to why Philippians is in your Bible. Many of you know this, but let's just review because it has very much a bearing on our message this morning. Paul is on his second missionary journey. He's in a city called Troas. Troas is just a form of the word Troy. We don't know how many times Paul went to Troas, but evidently there was a good church there, and Paul spent a lot of time in Troas. But he was there, and while he was there on his second missionary journey, he had a vision. We don't have visions anymore, men, because we've got the completed Word of God. We don't need them. But he had a vision, and in that vision, there was a man saying, Paul, please come to Macedonia. What is so wonderful about that vision, gentlemen, is that God is now calling his gospel, his message, to Europe. It had always been a Middle East dynamic, but now for the first time it is being called to Europe. Many of us have our heritage through some kind of European country. Aren't we glad? Paul immediately obeyed that vision. He set sail from Troas to Macedonia. Macedonia is a country. You'll find this interesting. He was sailing in a northwesterly direction, so because of the trade winds, it only took him one day. Had he been going the other way, it would have taken three days. But he immediately set sail for Macedonia, and when he got to the shores of Macedonia, he made a beeline to a very significant city in Macedonia called Philippi. It was called Philippi, people, because about 100 years before Paul got there, it had been founded as a military outpost named after Alexander the Great's daddy. Paul got there and it was a thriving city, a very worldly city, as you can imagine being a military outpost. It's a very, very ungodly city. But Paul got there and it was always his habit to make a beeline to the synagogue. We've got a problem. There was no synagogue in Philippi. I'm told that you need at least 11 Jewish males who have celebrated their Bar Mitzvah to have a synagogue. Evidently, there weren't that many Jewish men in Philippi, but Paul heard about a lady's Bible study, if you will. They met for prayer every Sabbath morning down by the river. Jews like to meet by the river because if they don't have a synagogue, they will meet by the river because they baptize for various events. So they like the water. Paul heard about this Bible study and showed up. Now, gentlemen, I wonder if you can picture this in your mind's eye. But there's a document that has survived from the second century that describes what Paul looked like. The document says, whether or not it's true, we're not sure, but the document says that Paul was very short, he was bowlegged, he was bald, all godly men are, he was bald, he had scars all over his face from all the beating, a rather ugly gentleman. Can you imagine a man like that showing up at a lady's Bible study, hi ladies, can I take it today? Well, evidently they said yes, because he took it. And he preached the gospel. And a whole gob of them got saved, one of which you know to be named Lydia. Bible says she's a successful businesswoman. She dyed purple. Only royalty wore purple. We know that she was a woman of means, because the Bible tells us that the church that got started at Philippi met at her house. What a great church it was, guys. Wonderful church, and please understand, they absolutely adored Paul. They loved him. He planted a church, and men got saved because Philippians is written to the bishops and deacons at the church of Philippi. So men got saved, but it got started because of women. Interesting. We don't know how long Paul was in Philippi, but let me tell you what happened. About 14 years later, word got back to this church at Philippi that their beloved Paul was now a prisoner of Nero. I don't know how much you know about history, but if you were a prisoner of Nero, it did not bode well for you. So evidently, the pastor to the church there at Philippi got up on a Sunday morning and said, could I get a volunteer? Could I get a volunteer? Would one of you be willing to walk over 700 miles, take Paul some money, minister to his needs, find out how he's doing? Well, they had a volunteer. What a, Cool name. His name was Epaphroditus. What a cool name. Epaphroditus. I'd love to meet an Epaphroditus. I've been telling churches now for a couple years, and I'm asking the Lord to let me meet an Epaphroditus someday, and I'd like to just put out a plea to those of you men who are of marriageable age. and of childbearing age, could you name a boy Epaphroditus? I think it would be so cool. We could call him Epi, we could call him Di, we could call him whatever. May I just put out a plea out there, name a child. Now I did, there is a young couple in Pennsylvania. They're not normal there, but there's a young couple in Pennsylvania who have taken me up on my offer. His wife was expecting and her husband said, we're gonna name our son Epaphroditus, but it's gonna be his middle name. Not good enough. I want a first name Epaphroditus. Would you just pray about it, guys? Just pray about it. But anyway, Epaphroditus said, I'll go. And gentlemen, let me tell you what he found. When Epaphroditus got there, let me tell you what he found. Paul wasn't in prison. Oh, he was a prisoner, but he wasn't in prison. We're told that the Roman government would often allow unique special prisoners the privilege of renting a house and being under house arrest. Well, that meant that If you were a prisoner and rented your own house, you were chained to a Praetorian guard with about an 18-inch chain, nothing personal, nothing private, but you at least had the freedom to move about. And that's what Epaphroditus found. Now, folks, when I tell you that Church of Philippi, they were worried about Paul. That's why they sent Epaphroditus. They were worried about two things, and I think you can understand this. That Church of Philippi was worried, first of all, what's gonna happen to Paul? We love that man. He's our church father. He led many of us to the Lord. What's going to happen to our Paul? We love that man. What's going to happen? And number two, they were worried about what's going to happen to the gospel. It was a brand new dynamic, referred to in a slang sort of way as the way because they were so narrow-minded, they believed there was only one way to get to heaven. So they were called the way. What's gonna happen to the gospel? The number one spokesman to the Gentile world is now a prisoner of Nero. What's gonna happen to the gospel? They were worried about those two things. Well, no doubt. Epaphroditus shared that with Paul. We don't know how long Epaphroditus was there in Rome, but he came home, no doubt carrying this book you and I know to be called Philippians. And when you start reading Philippians, gentlemen, let me tell you what Paul does. In chapter one, he immediately addresses their two worries. And let me just summarize what he says. First of all, he says, don't worry about me. Don't worry about me. I'm right in the middle of God's will. For the things that have happened to me have happened rather under the furtherance of the gospel, he says there in verse 12. I'm right in the middle of God's will. Don't worry about me. Please pray for my release. I'd like to see you again. But I am right in the middle of God's will. Now gentlemen, let me tell you what that meant. That flew in the face of Paul's critics. Because there were all kinds of guys running around saying, oh, Paul's in prison because of God's judgment. Paul's in prison because of what he has said about Judaism. God's getting even with Paul. And Paul's saying, oh, no, he's not. I'm right in the middle of his will. Don't worry about me. And then he says about your second concern, don't worry about the gospel. You don't have to worry about the gospel. It's powerful. It's doing just fine. In fact, here's what Paul says, there is a revival going on in the Roman government. Now, gentlemen, how in the world did that happen? Well, let's come back to that 18-inch chain. We're told that Petorian guards were to the Roman army what the United States Navy SEALs of the Green Berets are to ours. These guys were specially chosen. They were specially trained. Their number one responsibility, they were founded to protect the Caesar. These guys were sharp. We're also told by historians that when a Petorian guard was chained to a prisoner like Paul, they would be chained in six-hour increments. which means that there were four different soldiers that Paul would have been chained to every day. Those soldiers saw everything. We know that Paul was doing miracles. We know that people got saved. You know about one of them. His name was Onesimus. He got saved right there in Rome because of Paul. People weren't getting saved. They saw everything, these guards. Four different guards every day. Now, gentlemen, I hope you'll appreciate the humor of the next statement. It's one thing to be chained to a Praetorian guard. It's a whole different dynamic to be chained to Paul. Who's really chained to who? Could I stop there for a moment? Let me meddle. Every one of you are chained. You're chained to a marriage. You're chained to a church. You're chained to a job. You're chained to a neighborhood. And I wonder how many people would get saved if they were chained to you. Kind of thought provoking, isn't it? It may remind you, you are chained. God wants to use you. He's got you, sir, in the neighborhood he wants you to be in. He's got you at the job he wants you to be there. He's got you in the school that he wants you to be at. God is so in control. I hope that you're the right kind of chainable Christian. Well, we don't know how long Paul was there in that prison, but we know that he addressed there two words. He said, don't worry about the gospel. In fact, he says, there's a revival going on in the Roman government. In chapter 4, he says, those of Caesar's household say hello. There was a revival going on. In fact, tradition says, man, that Nero's wife became a Christian. Wow, and then we come to our text this morning. Chapter one, would you turn there with me please? Philippians chapter one, and look with me if you would please at verse number 27. Verse 27. And if you've got a King James Bible here this morning, I'd like you to do something for me, would you please? When I count to three, would you please give me the very first word of verse 27? When I count to three, the very first word of verse 27. And gentlemen, the reason for that is because it's a biggie. It's a biggie. Let me show it to you. Ready? One, two, three. Okay, now watch, watch. Let me tell you what that word means. That word only means what you men do and your teenage son is playing a video game and you got something important to tell him. What do you do? Hey! Hey, look at me. Hey, I want you to catch this. Kind of what you do, what your wife does to you when you're watching the Raiders or the 49ers or any of those other ungodly teams except for the Seahawks. Whatever they are, whatever they are. She's trying to get your attention. What does she do? She kind of gets in your face, doesn't she? Hey, look at me, honey, look at me. I got something important to tell you. Gentlemen, that is exactly what the word only means. Paul's saying, hey, it's good to know about that revival in the Roman government, good to know about my biography, good to know about my prisoner dynamic, but I really want you to catch this. This is really important. Don't miss this. This is where I want you to focus. Well, gentlemen, what does he want you to focus on? Let's read on, could we please? He says there in verse 27, Gentlemen, would you look at me? You gotta know, Bible students, you gotta know that when Paul used that word conversation, it rang their Philippian bells. Let me tell you why. The word conversation comes from the same word that we get our English word politics from. Now when you and I talk about politics, what are we talking about? We're talking about the way that we conduct ourselves as citizens. The taxes we appreciate, the taxes we don't, the laws we appreciate, the laws we don't, the leaders we're going to vote for, the leaders we're not going to vote for. We're talking about the way that we conduct ourselves as American citizens. When Paul used that word with these Philippians, let me tell you what those Philippians were thinking. They were in a city that was most unique. I haven't shared this yet. Philippi. was one of 200 cities like it. There were hundreds of thousands of cities in the Roman Empire, but there were only 200 like Philippi. Philippi was what was called a Roman colony, a Roman colony. Now, I know what's happening. When I use the word colony, you immediately, because you're Americans, you immediately think of 13 stripes on a flag, and you think rustic, log cabins, muskets, shoe buckles, turkeys, homeschooling, ah. That's what we think of when we hear the word colony. Unfair to the Word. May I remind you gentlemen that the first 100 years of our country, we were very loyal to the King of England and the Queen of England. We were very loyal to England. That's why I'm preaching to you this morning in English and not Spanish. We were very loyal to England. And when you came to America, you were coming to a piece of England away from England. We were under English law. We lovingly, until 1776, we lovingly paid our taxes to the king and queen. We were very loyal to England. And so when you came to these 13 colonies, they were called colonies because they were a piece of England away from England. Let me tell you about Philippi. Philippi was a piece of Rome away from Rome, and they were big time proud of that. They loved their identity with Rome. Let me tell you how much they loved it. The women of Philippi stayed up on the latest fashion and wore the same thing in Philippi. They stayed up on the latest fashion of how to wear their hair. that they were doing in Rome, and they did it in Philippi. If you were a man in Philippi, you cut your hair. You didn't have long hair. That was considered barbarian. They always cut their hair. And if you lived in Philippi, you didn't speak the guttural Greek like the rest of Macedonia. You spoke the official language of Rome, which would have been Latin. It was considered a city of culture. And gentlemen, you've got to know they were so proud of that identity. And let me tell you why. If you were born in Philippi, if you lived in Philippi, you were a Roman citizen. Oh, it was a minority. But if you were a Roman citizen, you were very, very privileged. There were taxes you didn't have to pay. There were laws you didn't have to obey. There was stuff you didn't have to do because you were elite. You were above everybody else in Philippi. A Roman citizen. Now gentlemen, having said that, do you understand what it means to be privileged? Have you ever enjoyed a privilege? In order to get you to understand, let me tell you about a privilege that I often get to enjoy. I'm an evangelist. I do a lot of flying. I always fly Delta because I can take up to three bags free. I often get upgraded to first class and in fact, I'm a diamond member of their frequent flyer miles club and that's where you go, ooh, I'm a frequent flyer. So often I'll be at the airport or I'll get an email like this morning and I'll hear my name over the speaker, would Mike Schrock please come to the desk? I sure will. I know what is about to happen. I walk up to that desk, they ask me for my ticket, they rip it up, they slide a new ticket, I am being upgraded to first class. Thank you, first class. Now I don't know if you've ever flown first class, but let me tell you what happens when you fly first class. You get to get on the airplane first. That's where you go ooh. Yeah, thank you, thank you. Let me tell you why that's a noo. Let me tell you why it's a noo. If you get on the airplane first, you get first dibs at all the overhead compartment space. I always travel heavy. I've got a trumpet case in one hand, a briefcase full of hair products in another one, and I get first dibs at all that overhead compartment space. And then, oh guys, it gets better, it gets better. Come here, come here, come here. I then sit in the front of the plane where they have sofa chairs. I'm no longer in the back of the plane like a sardine. I'm up front in a sofa chair. And I sit down and I sink into the sofa chair in that soft cushion. And all of a sudden, if it's a good flight crew, I have a flight attendant in my face. Mr. Schrock, they always know your name in first class. Mr. Schrock, what would you like to drink? Oh, I think this morning I'll have a apple juice on the rocks, please. And they run to their little kitchenette and they pour me an apple juice and there I sit in first class sipping on my apple juice while all these poor peons walk by going back to their sardine seats. I am not suggesting for a moment, gentlemen, that I deserve that, but boy, it sure is fun. I am enjoying a privilege. I share that with you, men, because can you imagine a whole lifetime like that? That's what it meant to be a Roman citizen. You were privileged, you were elite. Now, having said that, would you hold your finger here in your Bible and turn one page? Just turn one page forward to chapter three. I'm gonna show you the exact same word again. Paul's gonna use it again. On purpose, I am sure. Chapter three, and look with me at verse number 20. Are you ready? I'm gonna have you say it out loud. Okay, you ready? Here we go, verse 20. For our, what gentlemen? Conversation, now let's read on. Is in, where men? Would you look at me? Can I remind you? Can I remind you, Christian, the best is still yet to come. You've got something far better than first class on Delta. You've got reservations in heaven. Gentlemen, may I remind you that it is impossible for you to humanly even visualize what heaven is going to be like. It is so wonderful. The best is still yet to come. But the Bible also says, he that hath this hope purifieth himself. It's going to affect the way you live. But gentlemen, you and I have reservations in something far better than first God. We've got reservations in heaven. And Paul's trying to remind them, yes, it's good to be a Roman citizen. Yes, it's nice to live in Philippi. But the best is still yet to come. Your conversation, your politics are in heaven. Make sure you remember that. So go back to chapter 1, verse 27. If I'm going to be the right kind of citizen, what's going to happen? Let's look at verse 27 again. He says, I need to hurry. Only let your conversation be as it, next word out loud, men, become at the gospel of Christ. Would you look at me? Are you becoming? The way you live your life is very, very important to God. Are you becoming to the gospel? Do you look right? That's what that word becoming means. Do you look right? Let me confess something to you. This last summer, my wife and I celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary. If she were here, she would tell you that she kinda likes me. I know that shocks you, but she kinda likes me and she thinks there's some good things about me. And one of the things she likes about me, one of the many things she likes about me is that she thinks, you may disagree, but I don't care, she thinks that I'm pretty good with color. I like to match things. I like color. I find men's clothing so boring sometimes. I like lots of color. I'm not one of these, but I like color. I like color. And so she's coming to me all the time. All the time she comes to me, ever since we've been married, with a question like this. Michael, do you think these earrings go with this top? Michael, do you think this top goes with this skirt? Michael, would you wear gray shoes or blue shoes or red shoes with this? She's asking me that all the time, and I like it. So be quiet. I like it. Why is she doing that, man? Why is she doing that? Because she's about to stand in front of a college class of nurses, she's about to go to church, she's about to go to the shopping market, and she wants to look right. Look right. She wants to be becoming. Gentlemen, Paul says, hey, I want you to get this. Good to know about that biographical stuff, good to know about that revival going on in the Roman government, but I really want you to catch this, Christian. Do you look right? Is your lifestyle, your conversation, a becoming lifestyle? Do you look right? And may I remind you, men, that the way that you look, the way that you act, your life is incredibly important to God. He says that theme over and over again. in his word. What do I look like? How do I act? My life, your life, is very significant to your testimony. You ought to be enjoying being watched. It ought to be a driver of yours. I'm concerned with what people see. Are you becoming to the gospel? Or I wonder, gentlemen, if you're like a Christian I saw here recently. I was doing a revival in Pittsburgh. Yes, there are Christians there. I know it shocks you. But I was doing a revival in Pittsburgh, And the pastor took me out to lunch on a Tuesday. And he took me to one of those restaurants, it was in January. He took me to one of those restaurants where they had flat screen TVs all over the walls. You know, one of those kinds of places that you'd love to go to like on a Saturday during football season and watch all the college games that they have on there. It was that kind of place. But this was a Tuesday in January. There was nothing on. The maitre d' took us through a table and it was literally just from me to the organ away from a huge flat screen TV. And on that flat screen TV, they were showing music videos. They had the sound turned off, fortunately, but they were showing music videos. And while we were sitting there, all of a sudden, a young lady came on that screen. If I were to say her name, probably all of you, unfortunately, would recognize it. She's very beautiful, she's very attractive, but she was wearing an outfit, man and pastor, I wanna be tactful, but she was wearing an outfit that said, I'm ready to party. You know exactly, I'm selling ice to Eskimos right now. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Well, gentlemen, she started moving in a way, and I want you to hear me, Christians. She started moving in a way that was commanded by her music. Some of you crybabies need to grow up and realize that music always has a message, even without words. She started moving in a way that was dictated, commanded, ordered by her music. Gentlemen, it was so offensive that if you wanna be godly, you had to turn in your booth so that you weren't looking at it. But the reason I'm sharing that with you is because I know something about that young lady. I have read repeatedly in the media, she claims to be a Christian. Now, I'm not here to debate that. I'm just gonna take her word for it because it's been repeated over and over again over the years. She claims to be a Christian. Huh? Huh? Now, wait a minute, though. How confusing is that? You see, gentlemen, may I remind you that my Bible says, flee fornication. Flee it. Gentlemen, you know why it says flee? Because you can't handle it. It's more powerful than you are. You gotta run. That's what that word flee means. Don't dabble with it. Don't be curious. Get away. Run, run, run. But there's my Christian sister saying, no, Mike, don't run. Chase it. Let me help you. No, I don't get it. Honey, what are you doing? She is, what Solomon said, a diamond in a pig's snout. Gentlemen, what's the opposite of becoming? What's the opposite of becoming? Can I use the word ugly? Even though she's an attractive young lady, in God's eyes, she's incredibly ugly. And I wonder how many of you might be the same way. God's called every one of you to be the right kind of testimony, to live the word, to have a life that reflects the gospel. And gentlemen, can I remind you what the gospel is? What is the gospel? Here it is in a nutshell. I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. That's the gospel. We could sit here this morning and know, I'm forgiven. I'm forgiven. I am absolutely forgiven. But I'll tell you, my friend, if indeed that's true, then the moment you got saved, God gave you a healthy hatred for sin. You hate it. Do you live like somebody who hates sin? Let me hurry, I gotta quit, I wanna get you to lunch. But what do you look like if you are attractive? What do you look like? Look at verse 27 again, would you? He says there, only, now catch this, Christian, catch it. Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ, that whether I see you or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, gentlemen, every one of you have a reputation. I may hear of your affairs that ye, next two words out loud, guys. Stand fast. Gentlemen, are you catching it? You're incredibly handsome. You're good looking. You're becoming when you stand fast. It's all about standing fast. Now what in the world does stand fast mean? You veterans will appreciate this. The word stand fast is a military term. And the best definition I've ever read of the word stand fast is this. Stay in your foxhole. Stay in your foxhole. Gentlemen, why in the world would you be in a foxhole? Well, if I could simplify it here this morning, you would be in a foxhole because your commander, your sergeant, your lieutenant, your corporal said to you, private, I want you to dig a hole right there for your protection. I want you to get in that hole, and I want you to stay there and guard this area. And so if you're the right kind of soldier, what do you do? You dig a hole, and there's a science to that, by the way, of a foxhole. They can put a little alcove in there that helps absorb concussion. But anyway, you dig a foxhole, and you get in there, and you stay in there, and you guard that area because you wanna be a good soldier, right? Why in the world would a soldier leave a foxhole? Fear, cowardness. Gentlemen, can I show you your foxhole? There it is. There it is. What does it say about your music? What does it say about your thought life? What does it say about your communication? What does it say about your vocabulary? What does it say about the way you work? What does it say about the way you talk to your wife? What does it say? You show me a good soldier. You show me a good looking Christian. I'll show you somebody who's all about staying in that foxhole and not budging no matter what is politically correct. I don't know if you've ever heard this name before. But there was a young lady on Fox News about two years ago by the name of Jalene Hinkle. She has since gotten married and her name is now Jalene Wilson. I don't know if you recognize that name, probably not. But Jalene Hinkle went to high school in Denver. She went to a Christian school. It was a kind of Christian school that had a phenomenal soccer program. Jalene played for her soccer team at that school and she was a standout. She was really good, a really good soccer player. She graduated from high school and was offered a scholarship from the University of North Carolina, and she accepted and played soccer for North Carolina. But way down deep in her heart, she never shared this with anybody, but way down deep in her heart, she wanted to eventually play for the United States Women's National Team. They're really good. Well, Jaylene was a standout at University of North Carolina, but what I haven't told you yet is that Jaylene loves the Lord Jesus Christ. She's got a great testimony. She graduated from UNC, and don't you know, she got chosen, she got invited to play for the United States Women's National Team. I repeat, they're really good. She started playing. She was a standout on the team. She was a midfielder. Great player. But don't you know that the United States Women's National Team decided, hey, we want to promote the homosexual queer agenda. Let's put the rainbow on our jerseys. Jaylene went to her coaches. She said, I'm a Christian. I love Jesus Christ. I love his word. And the Bible says that that lifestyle is wrong. I can't wear that rainbow. Can I be excused from having the rainbow on my uniform? The coaches of the team said, no, you may not be excused. And she got kicked off the team. But let me tell you, the story doesn't stop there. Immediately, the women's professional team in North Carolina called The Courage, immediately grabbed her. She started playing for The Courage. And don't you know the courage to decide if we're going to have a game where we promote the homosexual agenda. They put the rainbow on their uniforms. Jaylene went to her coaches and she said, I'm a Christian. I believe that lifestyle is wrong. I can't support it. Could I please be excused from wearing that rainbow? And they said, yes, you can be excused. She played a game with no rainbow. Everybody else, all of her teammates had a rainbow on their uniform. She did not. Many of the fans noted that and they started complaining and they wrote letters to the team and bothered them that they'd allowed a player. Eventually, Jaylene got kicked off the courage. Gentlemen, I hope you appreciate what Jaylene is doing. I'd encourage you to go to her website. But Jaylene stayed in her foxhole. If I ever meet her in person, and I've reached out to her, if I ever meet her in person, I'm gonna slip her a 20 and tell her to have a Starbucks on me. She's one of my heroes. Gentlemen, I wonder if you would have that kind of guts. A lifelong dream, and you gave it up for the sake of staying in your foxhole. May I suggest to you that Jaylene is very becoming. Are you? Let's have a word of prayer. I need to let you go. Heavenly Father, Lord, I do pray for these men. God, what a privilege you've given me to stand in front of them. I don't deserve it. But God, I do pray that you would work in their lives. Lord, thank you for this conference. And God, I pray that there would be a whole gob of men that leave this conference resolved that I'm gonna get in that foxhole and stay there. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. God, I pray that you'd help these men to make that decision and use this conference mightily in Jesus'
