God has been so good to us.

And I want to talk to you about some of the things that I think, if you were to ask me right now,

what would I say were the most beneficial things to us over the years that helped us to make

it through, to get to where we are today, to have buildings like this that are paid for,

to have what we have, to still have each other, to have buildings like this that are paid for, to have what we have,

to still have each other, to still be in health, to still be in our right minds. Well, sometimes

in our right minds, but, you know, no, in our right minds and to be able to accomplish the things

that we're able to accomplish, I'd be able to give you two things without a doubt that to me are the most vital things

that I think you could look at him and he's going to nod his head and say the same thing.

The word changed our life.

Brother Hagan taught us that the word was the final authority.

The word. the final authority. The word.

And not quitting.

The word and not quitting.

Those two things have put us over the top through our whole life.

And I want to talk to you about some of those things tonight. I have a title.

It's a little bit longer, the word, the way, then wisdom and when. But you could call it

an ounce of prevention is a lifetime of cure because it's going to be the same thing. So I want us to get

into a couple of things about the word. The word is our final authority. The word in our life,

Keith in my life, turn our life around.

How many of you grew up in a home that they knew what a godly marriage was supposed to be like?

Maybe a half a dozen people.
