Honoring the Elderly and Family 0:02 Welcome to the men's global livestream and part 5, in our walk through the book of first Timothy. And this series has been part of a larger library of content that we put together called the Bible for0:14 Every Man. It's a chance to encounter God's word as God's man. And through first Timothy, we've been unpacking Paul's challenges, Paul's corrections, and Paul's encouragements0:26 to his spiritual mentee, his son in the faith Timothy, while Timothy was on assignment with a church that was struggling. And throughout the series we've been discovering the0:38 reality that our faith, many of our struggles, and certainly a lot of our growth that we experience in life happens from the inside out.0:49 Things start inside of us and then eventually leak out of us for good or bad. And in this session, we're gonna unpack chapter 5 of 1 Timothy. So grab a Bible and1:01 turn there with me. And as we start, I wanna jump right in and look at a portion of verse 1 and a portion of verse 2. So let's take a look. It says, never speak harshly to1:13 an older man, but appeal to him respectfully as you would your own father. Later it says treat older women as you would your own mother. So Paul is coaching1:25 Timothy here in how it is that Timothy is supposed to engage with the members of his church family that are further on in years. And Paul's really encouraging Timothy and instructing him about how the1:37 elderly are supposed to be treated and blessed. The simple fact that that Paul felt like this was necessary. I mean, the fact that we find it here in scripture means that the people of this church were either confused,1:49 unaware of how they were supposed to treat the elderly, or the way that they were treating the elderly is not how Christ would have had them. And I wish that this was a problem from another time. I wish this2:01 is something that we could look back on as if our culture has somehow figured it out, and this was really just an issue in in bible times, but I'm afraid that this issue is just as prevalent. And2:13 maybe even a bit more egregious in the US culture today. Man, why is it that in our culture we show such contempt for the elderly? And that word contempt2:25 might sound a bit harsh to you. You might not think that's not what I feel in my heart. I hope it's not. But if we zoom out, if we take a look at some of the large scale, behaviors and global2:37 perceptions, the treatment of the elderly in our culture, contempt is unfortunately a very appropriate assessment. I mean, look at how many how many so much of2:49 the elderly are treated in our culture. We place them in nursing homes, visit them rarely. Jokes are often made at their expense or frustrated by the speed at which3:00 they live or the speed at which they drive. We often decide they're no longer relevant and so we push them out of companies and organizations. And when we're not treating them in these ways with outright3:13 contempt at best we tolerate them with a sort of neutral indifference. But what's wild then is that this is where all of us are headed. Time is a certainty, aging3:24 is an inevitability for every 1 of us, and there's so much wisdom to be gained from the elderly, so much experience, so much insight, so much truth, but above all3:36 that, above the personal benefit for God's man, the instruction that we're receiving comes to us through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. And it's a call to care for,3:48 and to respect, and to treat fairly the elderly. It's clear, and Paul's encouragement to Timothy in this chapter, that we find this repeated all throughout scripture.4:02 You shall stand up before the gray head and honor the face of an old man, and you shall feel your God, I am the Lord. This is in Leviticus chapter 19 verse 32. Look at that language, it's not a4:13 suggestion. This is not something that we are encouraged to do. God's man is called to stand up before the elderly and display honor towards them, because we have4:25 reverence for the Lord. But why? Where does this honor come from? Why are they deserving of it? What's the basis of it? Scripture lays that out for us in the book of Proverbs, it says, gray hair is a crown of4:37 glory. It's gained by a righteous life. Or how about a little further, wisdom is with the agent, understanding in length of days.4:50 So often we talk about how our identity drives our activity. Right? How we think about ourselves drives how we act. It's the same with the elderly. But instead of our own5:02 identity driving our own activity, how we view the elderly, how we perceive their identity, that informs how it is that we treat them. So we have to reshape how we view those who5:14 are further on in years. If we're ever gonna treat them as we should, then God's word has to provide a new framework for us, a new value system. God does not simply give us5:25 instructions and behaviors to follow. He gets deeper. He goes down into our hearts to find where it is that our treatment of the elderly comes from. He knows that we have to reclaim how it is that we5:37 see them if Christ is going to redeem how it is that we treat them. Gray hair is not a symbol that someone should be put out to pasture because god's word says it's a crown of glory.5:49 The elderly are not to be dismissed because god's word says that wisdom belongs to them. And in searching the scripture, we see this over and over again, passages that lay out God's heart for the elderly and support the6:01 command that we're reading right here in first Timothy. And so we realize that in just these few passages, we've already seen God's heart for the elderly made clear for us. And it's this brothers, for God's man, our6:12 marching orders are clear. We are to respect and honor our elders. It's clear. It's a clear charge. It's not circumstantial.6:24 Demonstrating respect, ensuring that the elderly are treated with honor. And as with all things, God man is not taking his cues from his own flesh, from how he feels, or even from his own6:35 wisdom, what he thinks, or even from the common practices and truths that are accepted by the culture in which he finds himself. God's man is always looking to God's word to6:47 inform his behavior. And the way that you and I view and care for the elderly is no different. Like we said, we live in a culture that so often treats them so poorly.7:00 So God's man is gonna follow God's word and instead honor the elders, swim against the tide of culture. But take a look, over at first Peter with me. First Peter chapter 5, because I love what he7:11 unpacks, he goes another level deeper for us. He says this regarding our care for the elderly. Likewise, you who are younger be subject or subject yourselves to the elders. How?7:23 Clothe yourselves, all of you with humility towards 1 another. For God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. It says we're called to be subject to the elders in our lives.7:35 But I love that Peter then gets under the heart issue that's behind it all. Open heart surgery for God's man. He says, I'm gonna reveal to you what's inside the heart that does not care for the elderly. I'm7:47 gonna I'm gonna show you where it come from. I'm gonna expose the motivators and kind of that heart decay that paves the way for poor elderly treatment. What is the heart issue at the core of treating the elderly in7:59 an ungodly way? Pride. Pride. The hard issue that's revealed when a man is not respectful towards the elderly is pride, pure and simple.8:11 Pride that says they can't do what I can do. They aren't worth what I'm worth because you and I will only discredit the elderly to the extent that we believe8:22 our own abilities exceed theirs. I'm only frustrated to the extent that I'm arrogant enough to believe that I could or should do all things better than them. And brothers,8:35 humility in this instance is the issue and the cure. The lack of humility is the issue with the presence of humility. The cure because without humility, we're just gonna dismiss the elderly in our arrogance.8:48 But instead, if we choose like the scripture says to clothe ourselves with humility, considering others greater than ourselves. And if we choose to display that humility, it's gonna lead us out in care.9:02 It's a very recent and very Western mindset to choose to not value the elderly. It wasn't always like this. Many cultures see it differently. There's an old African proverb I love that says, a village without the elderly9:13 is like a well without water. But if you look around that's not what you see in our culture. In our culture, the elderly should be celebrated for a life well lived. The retirement years are are9:25 years that should be defined by rest and relaxation, time spent with family, the company of lifelong friends who've walked the journey with them. Yet too often in our culture, the lives of the elderly are most9:37 often defined by feelings of isolation and loneliness. And 1 of the key culprits really brothers is the speed at which our culture is moving, the breakneck pace9:49 that leaves no space for relationship, often no space for God and certainly no space for the elderly. But I want us to look around the world and take heart10:00 because it's not like this everywhere. In many African cultures, elders are served first at every meal. Out of honor and respect, these same elders often serve as judges or decision10:12 makers within the community. Such a foreign thought to us. In many Australian indigenous societies, the elders hold such influence and they are seen to have gained so much respect that many decisions10:24 are brought before them. They're sought out for their opinion. They're asked questions about how they see things even contemporary issues. In Japan, old age is understood as being a highly10:37 valuable segment of culture. And that's reflected in this stat. In the Japanese population of adults that are over 60 over 60 years old, those that are living with10:49 their children is 10 times higher than it is in the United States. Now I don't know practically what demonstrating this kind of love and care and respect looks like for you in your11:01 context. But there are places for you. Now I don't know where God is calling you to serve and care for those further on in years. But let's take God's word seriously. Like we do with all things,11:13 let's submit to it. And let's set an example for our children to follow. Let's lift up those who are reaching the end, let's help them finish well. Clear instruction for God's man, let's keep11:24 reading. Because the opening portion of this passage kind of starts to shift gears a bit. So let's jump back in in verse 2, Says this, after the call to care for the elderly it says, tweet younger women11:37 with all purity, as you would your own sisters. God's man is called to interact with women in a very specific11:48 way. It says here that God's man will treat women with all purity. Doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room, does it? I read that and12:00 I wondered, what if that was true? What if men grasp that and put it into practice? What if all of the men who profess the name of Jesus chose to see all12:12 younger women as their sisters, sisters in Christ in creation and purpose, siblings standing before God Almighty together as a family? What if we sought to lift all women up in all12:23 purity as we're called to according to scripture? I wonder how much pornography would be viewed in this world. I wonder how many strip clubs would be attended. I wonder how much domestic violence would still12:36 occur. I wonder how many single moms would be out there struggling to make ends meet or living alone in fear or trying to solve problems that a community could help her solve easily. I wonder how many12:47 of the problems in our culture would go away overnight. If men grasped even just this single verse of scripture, we must. We must.13:00 But let's get practical with it because it's easy to read that and think, I don't even have a framework for what that looks like. What does it practically look like for God's man to treat a woman with all purity as he13:10 would his own sisters? What what could we take forward in our own lives? Let's look at a couple things. First, it means this, God's man will always seek to protect, not harm. God's man will always seek to bring13:20 protection. He will not be the source of harm, we must reclaim true biblical masculinity. God's man has to reject toxic masculinity13:32 that's been perverted by our culture, where power is seen as privilege, and strength is often leveraged for personal selfish or even sinful gain. We have to recapture this untruth and infuse13:44 into it the gospel reality where strength is meant for service, and power is always used for protection. Where God's men uses every ounce of his strength to13:55 serve. Where God's men uses every ounce of his power influence to protect. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served,14:08 but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Matthew chapter 20 verse 28. So as God's man, let's follow the model of King14:20 Jesus who used all of his influence, all of his power, every ounce of his strength in order to bless and serve others. As God's men,14:32 we're gonna give ourselves away that someone else would be blessed, specifically the women that God has placed in our lives. We will always choose protection, and we will never be the source of harm.14:44 Secondly, it means this, God's men will not tolerate sexual sin. Period. Period. In order to treat all women with all purity,14:56 God's men cannot allow impurity to coexist in his own life, in any form. Scripture tells us that there is not supposed to be even a hint of sexual immorality amongst15:07 us. Because sexual sin metastasizes like cancer, it spreads like a virus, like a weed. And for us as God's men, we can't blur the edges in any area of our life, we15:19 can't live in the gray areas of sexual sin, and then somehow believe that we will treat women as God intended us to. The secret life always comes out crashing15:31 through the public persona. And so for that reason, God's man can never tolerate sexual sin in his life. Let's get practical. It means that God's man does15:43 not stream or binge a series with nudity in it, period. Just so you're being legalistic. Okay. No matter how much God's man likes the story, no15:55 matter how popular the show, how compelling the plotline, he has decided that he has a higher allegiance. He goes without it. God's man doesn't tolerate course jokes. He doesn't forward them16:06 on. He walks away from that type of conversation. He doesn't try to keep it going. He doesn't seek it out. God's man doesn't have lunches alone with a female coworker. He doesn't have ongoing text threads and16:18 relationships with other women. He doesn't become tolerant developing a a friendship that could destroy his world. Is he uncaring? He's not. He's treating women with all purity and the respect16:29 that the Lord Jesus demands. God's man doesn't scroll social media looking for things on the fringe. Not exactly nudity, but not exactly God honoring either. Simply put,16:42 when it comes to sexual sin, God's man has chosen to gouge it out and throw it away. The gospel of Matthew says it like this, so if your eye, even your16:53 good eye, causes you to lust, gouge it out. Throw it away. It's better for you to lose 1 part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your hand, even your stronger hand, causes you to sin,17:06 cut it off and throw it away. It's better for you to lose 1 part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. But what does he mean there? This is like the invitation to self mutilation. I don't think17:16 that's what he's saying. Practically for us, it means this brothers. There is nothing that you and I should be willing to tolerate in our lives if it's keeping us17:28 from Jesus. There should be nothing that we are unwilling to remove from our lives if that thing is going to put us in the bondage of sin.17:40 And so even if it's a good show. When he says your eye causes you to sin. What he's saying is he's giving him a picture saying your eye is a good and great thing. But it's not worth tolerating its presence if it leads17:52 you into sin. Might be a great show. Might be encouraging. Might even have a good message. But if it's leading you into sin, gouge it out. Throw it away. No show. No jokes. No friendships. No18:04 meals. No social scrolling. Nothing that leads us towards anything but complete purity should be tolerated. Boys, it's like finding cancer on an x-ray and18:15 telling the doctor leave it. I I wanna keep that. But where does he go from here? Back to our text. Look at verses 3 through 7 again are so clear. They lay out18:27 kind of a portion of God's heart that we have seen all throughout scripture. And this is God's care for the widow. Take care of any widow who has no 1 else to care for18:39 her. I love how practical this passage of scripture is because it gets us out of our self in real ways that we're gonna have opportunities to. It's so clear, so impactful. I mean,18:51 notice the Lord does not say, so think about, consider, have compassion for, feel empathy towards. He says, go care for the widow who has no 1 to care19:03 for her. He then goes into a description, right, which helps the early church to know, well, who is he talking about? Who are we responsible towards? Who is it that needs our help? But there's no denying it. Widows19:15 are close to the heart of the Lord. In James, God compares caring for the widows to true religion. Religion that's pure and faultless. In Exodus, God says that we must never ever mistreat19:27 the widow. He says if we do, their cries will certainly reach the ears of the most high. It doesn't stop there. Isaiah lays out that our calling is to seek justice and correct oppression, to19:39 seek the good, and to plead the case for the widow. Psalm 68 says that our God is the protector of widows. And yet19:51 how many widows in our culture are currently living without care? How many live without the resources they need to support themselves or the family that was left behind when their husband passed?20:03 How many are living in fear? How many are suffering alone? How many just need support or care or protection or provision? How can this be my brothers when our God has been so clear20:15 about his heart for the widow. But I love right after that, this passage goes even 1 step closer. Not to what's going on out there. He says, let's go 1 step20:26 closer to the nuclear family of god's man. He says this in verse 8. But those who won't care for their relatives, especially those in their own household, have denied the true faith.20:39 Such people are worse than unbelievers. God expects those closest to us to experience the very best20:51 of us. God expects those closest to us to experience our very best. Those that God has entrusted to us in the immediate circles of our family,21:03 our siblings, our wives, our children should receive the very best of our care, the best versions of us. And yet sadly, this is often the exact opposite of what they get.21:15 And far too often in life, those closest to us get the worst version of us. Given the amount of time, right, law of large numbers, the routine, the regularity, the stressors,21:27 It it's so easy for those closest to us to experience the worst parts of us. They've got a larger sample size but they shouldn't be denied the best versions of us. This passage is a calling21:39 into a new way of being that every 1 of us must grab hold of. This passage is reminding us to show special care for those closest to us. I think we all21:51 need to pause right now and do a little bit of heart heart surgery. Right? Here's a couple questions. Does your wife get a better version of you than your biggest client?22:04 Do your kids experience the most patient version of you or is that reserved for your business partners? Do your siblings get the most compassionate version of you or22:16 is that only for your patients or is that only for your church family? Does your bride get the most outgoing creative, inventive version of you or is only your boss seeing that?22:29 But I want you to hear me rightly right now in case your mind's going down a rabbit hole it shouldn't. I am not saying that we should dial it back at work, dial it back at church or dial it back in any of our social22:39 engagements. I'm saying this, dial it up at home. Don't turn it down out there, just turn it up when you get home. Never ever ever let your wife, your22:51 kids, your family, even your in laws ever get a version of you that is less than the very best you have to offer.23:04 Bring your best home with you every single day intentionally, save some gas in the tank for those closest to you. And this goes far beyond just our day to day interactions. We have to use the same23:16 framework for all the big stuff too. Like, would I be quicker to lend money to a couple of my church that's struggling or a wayward sibling? But am I quicker to take my23:28 kids to an old folks home with with their group of friends to to sing to the elderly and not to be with their own grandparents? Again, I'm not saying that let's reduce the activity outside of our house.23:40 Let's just kick into high gear what goes on inside our house. This passage is gnarly right here, brothers. It says that those who do not care for their own are worse than unbelievers, but why would23:51 it say that? Because as believers, we've been exposed to the truth and we're now accountable to God's standards. We're not simply acting in the flesh or according to what's natural, easier, culturally acceptable.Guarding the Heart and Living on Mission 24:03 We've been given new standards. And so God's man has been instructed by God about how he's to care for his family, so he's being doubly disobedient when he does not. The24:15 rest of this passage is interesting. It's even a little bit flighty because it has some intense kind of corrections and challenges that come in rapid succession. Paul spends a lot of time24:27 unpacking some of the nuances about how they're to care for widows in their specific context, and other unique care opportunities within the church as a whole. He even has a great conversation about24:39 the reality that those who offer themselves for gospel endeavors as a professional lifestyle deserve to be compensated. But take a look at verses 19 and 20,24:50 which offer very specific instruction for sorting out issues amongst your leaders. It's talking specifically about the elders and church leadership, but the wisdom inside of it25:03 is there for us. We can extrapolate it and inject it into the circumstances we find ourselves in. Do not listen to an accusation against an elder unless it is confirmed25:15 by 2 or 3 witnesses. Those who sin should be reprimanded in front of the whole church. This will serve as a strong warning to others. He's saying we are called to25:27 be slow in our assessment of sin. This is something our culture is completely dead set on ignoring. Our culture takes small pieces of25:38 half truths and then makes snap judgments and immediate sentencing. We decide in 5 seconds if I like you, if I agree with you, if we're on the same side. If you're25:50 guilty, if you're not. And then how you should be treated. But scripture as it so often does, it right here is standing at odds with pop culture. But there's clear and26:02 universal truth for us brothers in this passage and it's this, avoid gossip and snap decisions, but never condone or tolerate sin. Avoid26:13 gossip, avoid snap and rash decisions, but do not condone or tolerate sin. He's saying, don't get caught up in the rumor mill when claims are made. Instead,26:25 make prayerful, careful assessments and make sure that gossip or the opinion or perspective of a single person doesn't have the power to convict another person26:37 in your life or in your heart. He's saying be slow as you make these assessments, but I love right after that he puts the caveat in there. He says, but you're supposed to make an example of someone by reprimanding them26:48 publicly. This is wild, but it's good and clear correction. Let's be slow to bring about accusations, but let's never let sin27:00 be swept under the rug. When it's apparent, when it's confirmed, it has to be dealt with severely and perhaps even publicly. Not as an effort to shame the sinner,27:13 but rather to protect unity to save those that are on watching. It says the goods serve as a strong warning to the onlookers. So for us as God's men it means, let's be quick to27:25 stiff arm the enemy when he slithers up to us with words wrapped in gossip. You know, they're taking vegetables now and wrapping them in bacon so that we'll eat them. It's the same thing here. Right? Take a little piece27:35 of half truth, wrap it up in gossip, it tastes a lot better. But even though we always want to hear it, let's recognize that it's not moving us forward. But this is bigger than just gossip because even if a27:47 true concern comes our way and we receive it, we must hold it loosely. In humility, we must submit it to the Lord. We must seek the counsel of other involved27:59 individuals. I wonder how many people have been falsely condemned by those around them for something that simply wasn't true. I wonder how often I've been guilty of doing28:11 this in my own life. But Paul's got some good nuggets of wisdom for us that I do wanna hit in our time together. Look at verse 22. Never be in a hurry about appointing28:23 a church leader. Do not share in the sins of others, keep yourself pure. For such a short passage, I love how much wisdom is contained in these 3 sentences. It says never be28:35 in a hurry when you're appointing a leader. Isn't that good? A leader is someone that we must thoroughly vet, someone we've decided that their lives are worthy of being imitated, not simply someone28:47 we're impressed with, not simply someone who looks the part. Be slow when you place people in leadership. It's an interesting truth for us as God's men that we do well to remember when it comes to decision28:59 making, speed is the enemy. Speed is the enemy. When we're called to make important decisions, speed equals no bueno. I remember29:11 when I was a kid skateboarding down the hill that I grew up on, and everything was great until you pass the fourth house from my house because by now you're cooking. But you're also just 2 doors away from a 9029:23 degree turn. And even if you could make that turn you were you you were on your way until you felt the speed29:35 wobbles. Every skater knows the feeling. The beam the mechanism that holds your wheels in place the axle is known as your trucks. If your trucks are loose or old or you're just going too fast they start29:47 wobbling. Shimming at first. It's almost imperceptible as it begins but soon your entire board will begin swaying. Your weight goes counter to the board and you've got a date with concrete30:00 because because the speed was more than your board could handle. Decisions are like that. The faster we rush into decisions,30:12 the more there's the margin for error. So as we're screaming down the highway of decision making, we might not even notice the wobbles as they begin until everything30:24 is out of whack. God's man does not make fast decisions. Wise decisions are always prayerful decisions. And prayer requires something we don't have much of in our culture,30:37 time and margin. Slowing down, submitting things to the Lord is a symbol and a hard posture of humility. But our culture values quick decision30:48 making. We think it shows that someone's confident or intelligent or brave or whatever. Yet prayerfully considering options shows the right heart posture that recognizes we don't have it all figured31:00 out. But we trust the God who does, the God who speaks to us. Let's finish that verse up. Never be in a hurry appointing a leader. Do not share in the sins of others. Keep yourself31:12 pure. Again, remember this is like rapid fire truth here brothers. He's saying don't make rash decisions but also don't share in the sins of other people. What does he mean by that? How do I avoid the sins31:24 of other people? Only way I know is to be careful about who I spend my time with. You're going back to conversations you had with your parents and you're a teenager right now, aren't you?31:36 Man, if you're around people whose lives are messy spiritually, eventually you're gonna get some on you. Now we are absolutely called. We talked about it last week to be salt and31:48 light, to have an impact. Culturally, to not be a thermometer that takes temperature, but a thermostat that sets that temperature. We're there to share the gospel. We've been placed.32:00 And I pray you spend a good portion of your time around people who don't know Jesus for the purpose of introducing him to them. But let's not kid ourselves. Our lives will soon start to look32:11 like the lives of those who fill our calendar. So when the sins of others are constant, our lifestyle are ongoing, I have to make a choice. I have to32:23 choose not to share in that sin. Let's finish up our time together with the final verses. Verse 24 25. Paul says, remember the sins of some people are obvious32:36 leading them to certain judgment. But there are others whose sins will not be revealed until later. In the same way, the good deeds of some people are obvious, and the good deeds done in secret will someday come to32:48 light. Simple and profound reality for us brothers. Things are not always what they seem. There are some people in life whose sins33:00 are very obvious. Usually what we call the sins of the flesh. People struggling sexually or or without burst of anger or or dishonesty or or substance abuse or greed or whatever. Other sins33:12 are not quite so easy to see. Other sins are a lot shinier, a lot more acceptable in our culture, or just harder to discern. Things33:24 like a judgmental heart, envy, pride, lust of the heart, anger internally, or any other heart condition. So as God's33:36 man, let's choose never to sit down in God's judgment seat. Let's leave that open for the only worthy 1. But notice it says that all good deeds are the same way.33:48 Not only do I not see the full story of the sin in the lives of the people around me. I also don't see the full story about what men are up to. Do you see the humble posture in this?34:00 Do you see the heart that says, I don't know where my brothers are really at. I'm praying for them. I'm trusting that God is doing things in their life, and I might not be able to see all of it right now. And whether34:11 the idea fills you with dread or delight, the reality is that 1 day all things will be revealed. Hidden sins, secret motive,34:24 schemes or lies or deceptions that you've had to endure in your life. As well as recognition for hidden generosity and invisible service.34:37 Everything matters. Everything that begins inside of us is eventually going to come out of us, and so let's take heart. Let's take watch34:49 over our heart above all else. Let's guard and protect and allow the Lord to reveal to us what is within our hearts. Because 1 day he's gonna reveal everything.35:01 But rather than letting that drive us in some kind of fear or anxiety of earning God's pleasure, let's let it just fuel the simple reality that my life was intended to be lived on35:13 mission for Jesus. Let's let it move us forward in anticipation towards that day. That 1 day, everything done for Jesus will be seen and will35:25 be rewarded. Let's pray. God, thank you for the truth of your word. Thank you that we can depend on it, that we can build our lives upon it.Show more In this video 0:00 Honoring the Elderly and Family24:02 Guarding the Heart and Living on Mission35:28 Breaking Through Spiritual PlateausComments No comments yet.
