Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

God bless you. It's a joy to come into your home. I say it often, but we come with good news.

We know God rewards people that seek after him, and I believe that's you or you wouldn't be tuned in today. But thank you for tuning in. If you're ever in our area, I hope you'll stop by and see us. I promise you we'll make you feel right at home. These are the finest people in all of Houston right here at Lakewood. So come by and see you sometime. But thank you again for tuning in.

I like to start each week with something kind of funny. people in all of Houston right here at Lakewood. So come by and see you some time. But thank you

again for tuning in. I like to start each week with something kind of funny. And of course,

y'all know these are just jokes, so don't write me a letter, all right? A couple celebrating

their 50th wedding anniversary had never had an argument. And they were asked about the secret of

their success. The man explained, as they were leaving

the church on their honeymoon, the wife's horse refused to go. She got off, looked him in the eyes,

and said, that's one. He went a little further and stopped again. She got off and said,

that's two. He went a little more, but once again, he stopped. This time she got off,

pulled out her revolver, and shot the horse dead. The husband was appalled. He said, what do you think you're doing? You can't just shoot an animal. She looked him in the eyes and said, honey, that's one. They never had an argument after that. All right, hold up your Bible. Say it with me.

Ready?

This is my Bible.

I am what it says I am.

I have what it says I have.

I can do what it says I can do.

Today I will be taught the word of God.

I boldly confess my mind is alert.

My heart is receptive.
