Interesting. See, I would have never thought of Dearborn being nothing less than a Muslim culture. And I say that because the EPC at one point was in or near Dearborn, Michigan. Am I right?

Yes, please. I'd like to hear that.

Nice. So that leads to my next question, which we just answered it. But I want to hear, I want us to talk about it. The question is, so who is Jesus and why did he come?

That's amazing. That's that's beautiful. Now, my next question is going to lead to a sighting of Martin Luther. But why must God's word go forth? Why is that is so important that God's word goes forth?

Yeah, that's the heart of God. Yeah. See, back in April 1517, or actually I think it was 1516, right after Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of Wittenberg, he said, His goal was to get the word of God in the hands of the people so that they could understand who God is and understand God's words for themselves. And one of the things that he told the imperial diet was this.

He said, unless I am convinced by scripture and plain reason, I do not accept the authority of the popes and councils for they have contradicted each other. My conscience is captive to the word of God and I cannot and will not recant anything for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. God help me. Amen. And then he goes on to say, here I stand. I cannot do otherwise.

OK, so God's word has to go forth and we cannot back down whenever adversities come against us or whenever governments go against us for preaching and sharing the gospel, sharing the word of God. You know, we cannot revoke what we know and what we believe in because the word of God depends. Let me rephrase that. Let me not say the word of God depends on it.

The people that need to hear the word of God depend on our strength and our strength comes from God. He is the ultimate provider of our strength. So we can't recant. We can't step down from what we believe in. You know, Timothy, I love what you're doing up there in Dearborn and over in the Middle East is that you're holding on to God's word and you're saying that everybody has to hear this.
