<TITLE>10. Par 101-105</TITLE>L-101   Sorry to take so much time. I forgot about this even being on the radio time out there, the phone time.

L-102 Now let us turn for our reading. And Brother Jack, have you got your Bible there? While I'm finding my Scripture, I'll ask Brother Jack to read this Scripture because I cannot pronounce these names right. All right, in First Chronicles 13!...?... [Brother Jack Moore reads First Chronicles, the 13th Chapter:
And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.
And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:
And let us bring again the Ark of our God to us: for we--we enquired not at it in the days of Saul.
And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.
And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave--drave the cart.
And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
And when they came to the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, and because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before the Lord.
And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place was called Perez-uzza to this day.
And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?
So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed--Obed-edom in the house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had.--Ed.]

L-103   Thank you, Brother Moore, for the reading of the Scripture for me. Now, sorry I couldn't read that myself, but I--I couldn't do it.

L-104 Now I want you to turn with me to Mark 7:7, and we'll read the first seven verses of St. Mark the 7th chapter.
Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
And when he saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashed hands, they found fault.
But the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they'd washed their hands... eat oft not, holding--holding the traditions of the elders.
And when they came forth from the market, except they'd washed, they eat not. And many other things were--were they... which they have received of the... received to hold,... the washing of the cups, and of pots, and brass vessels, and of tables.
Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hand?
He answered and said unto them, Well has Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrine the commandments of man.
Let us pray.

L-105   Dear God, honor Your Word now, and may It accomplish that which It is purposed for. Use us as instruments to speak It, and our ears to hear It from You, and our hearts to receive It. We ask in Jesus' Name, for the glory of God. Amen.
