And I'm convicted personally that a line that I can draw is that I will not receive a trophy for something that is from Jesus and for Jesus. And I was wrestling with this last |
| 0:55.8 | year. I even said that on stage at the Dove Awards. I said, I'm still struggling with the concept of receiving this award, but all glory to Jesus.

| 1:48.2 | just because it's important. Um, the treasure would not be our salvation or that our names were |
| 1:52.8 | written in the Lamb's Book of Life. That the treasure would be Christ. Christ. Yes. |
| 1:57.1 | The treasure hidden in the field that a man found and covered up and in his joy, he goes and |
| 2:01.0 | sells all that he has and buys that field. |
