Turn with me, please, this evening in the scriptures to the book of Luke, the 16th chapter, Luke 16.

Thank you, Lord.

How big a hurry are you in tonight?

That was a little weak.

Are you sure?

I know we've taken a little extra time with the first part of the service,

but how many think it was right that we shouldn't have shorted any of that.

And so now, what do we want to do now?

Well, I got something in me about this, but, you know,

a lot of it's affected by the hearer's faith and priority.

And I know, you know, a lot of times people get up early and they've worked

and they've had a long day and your body is natural and you can get tired.

I understand that.

I heard one preacher say one time he said, if you saw somebody nodding off and he said somebody was going to reach over and bump him, he said, nah, leave him alone.

He said, I've been that way in church, and half asleep and half awake.

And he said, I'm not getting anything out of the message.

And I'm not getting anything out of my nap either.

He said, leave him alone.

At least let him get something out of one of them, you know.

And our bodies are natural.

I understand that. I understand that.

I understand that.
