The unquenchable fire is the fire of the Holy Spirit. The lake of fire is the refiners fire, to purge out sin. Roman’s says all will be saved. Translations are bad giving the hellfire crowd a stick to beat sinners. God is good

You said: "Many churches are not teaching biblical salvation." IMHO the ones that are, and using that "biblical salvation" as a means to get to their real end. Money and power. The standard today of a "successful ministry" is completely determined by increasing money and increasing membership.
@@user-ky2xo2ls4m The standard I mentioned before successful ministry=more money and more memberships is being taught in nearly all Bible colleges and seminaries as THE standard for ministry, That is what "Purpose Driven Church" is all about; marketing and selling the Gospel.

Acceptance ( or not ) of the article and what it represents once familiar is the issue. After consideration, many find reason not to accept what is asserted. Particularly the claims made by Ken Ham's ministry. Education does that.
Lol the school is litterally brainwashing They teach people to be perfect citizen obeying all stupid law and having a blind faith to the government and laws But we can see the World is not getting better so the cause of all this mess is not the laws getting ignored but the heart of Man because all evil come from it
Amen,however it's more about proving or disproving rather than be in agreement or disagreement. We are always pushing for what is true,good and beautiful.
Oregon Is one of the most un churched states in the United States and today it is hard to get people in church but the Bible said Hebrews 10:25 “Forsake not the assembling of yourselves together even more so as we see the day coming “ !
What I see as a problem with the church is if you don't belong to the in crowd, you will be lucky to get visited with or followed up with when you can't make it to church. Most churches have a core group that will make it very difficult to make it feel welcoming.
The sin may not be so much with those who aren't getting involved with the church as with those who are already there and in control. In church as well as everywhere we spend significant time, people want to feel they belong and can be useful. The church labels us and rejects our skills and talents. We go where we can serve.
Church attendance does not necessarily reflect fewer numbers of believers. In fact, numbers of believers may actually be increasing. This whole thing is a misnomer. Going to church never meant you were a true Christian…ever.
Teaching young people to take Genesis literally and reject observational science is what is causing thinking individuals to leave fundamental evangelicalism.
“Observational Science”…..True science is much more than “observation.” Your observation seems to be man’s theory about how things “might” have happened apart from God”s explanation of how it “did” happen. Any “real” science will also require you to be able to reproduce and “prove” your theories before they can be accepted as having any validity. Repeating something someone else has said (no matter how many times) does not make it true (real science). I “observe” you are not being true to “science!”
Many people are leaving the church because scripture isn't being preached. I left 15 years ago and I believe every word in scripture. The Holy Spirit instructs and corrects me. I don't need a man who went through 8 years of doctrinal re-education to pigion hole me into half an answer.
Problem is, Genesis is NOT history and you 'beleiving' that it is does not actually change the facts - insisting that others dump their brains in favour of blind obedience is one of the problems, not the solution.
I understand your point very much but there are good solid Bible believing churches out there! Keep looking. Ask for guidance. My pastor did not go to bible college but is truly filled and led by the Spirit. I’m very grateful.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 we are experiencing the reprobate as a very sad majority. When the masses Move away from God, He actually hardens Them, away from Himself. There is nothing new under the sun.
Wow! Awesome awesome!! I really enjoyed this thank you!!! KING OF KINGS & LORD OF LORDS!! During these times and seasons wear the breastplate of faith and love and as a helmet the hope for salvation! When these things begin to take place, lift your heads for your redemption is drawing near.
I told my son when he went to college (Western Michigan), to join a Christian group. He found one with only 11 students out of a school of 18,000. No denominations have any services now for students because of almost zero attendance. I then told him to get the group to recruit students. In 3 years, they are now up to only 18. I figured a mechanical engineering student should easily find a Christian girl to date.He told me there aren't any!
Sad; but this is getting more and more common now. When a young woman gets the idea that she can kill her baby :in and out of the womb. What makes a young Christian man think that he can co to a marxist College , and find a suitable young woman? We are in the last days before his return. Are you ready? You can be: John 03:16-17
@@Thirdday71906 It's the Christian's fault for having so few children. The absolute mathematical minimum is 3 children per woman. Instead most will seek financial greed instead of 'being fruitful and multiplying'. They use contraception because women (not just Christian women) would rather get a job and chase money for that overseas holiday and the latest iphone than to sacrifice to have more children and have them earlier in their 20's. This is all backed up by the university research (e.g. Canada's University of British Columbia) and worldwide census data. No-one else to blame but yourselves.
although i agree with some of ken's ideas. again i say that salvation is by faith through grace in Jesus Christ alone. therefore salvation is a gift. our works don't save anyone. we are commissioned to teach the gospel, but salvation is through the Holy Spirit. church attendance does not mean those people are saved in the first place. i do agree strongly with ken's reliance on scripture as the foundation of our faith.
There's no accountability from the top down in the church. Leadership is gone. Too much concern for not looking good. Fake smiles, men who are buddies without iron sharpening iron. Women who are ready to judge and point.
It's just another reason why traditional Christianity is a false religion: it doesn't have God's government. In a religion with God's government, there is ALWAYS accountability at the top because the leader has to answer directly to God when they go astray or fail to do what God required of them. Protestants lack good leadership because they don't want anyone to rule over them, especially God.
Hopefully we can accelerate the secularization of America and save democracy. Christians are fighting against democracy, and the sooner the more secular elements of our society wrestle power away from the theocrats, the safer democracy and the future of America will be. These days so much of what is in the news is bad stuff, but it is nice to see Ham delivering a positive message about America becoming less christian, more moral, less discriminatory, less biblical and more willing to embrace democracy and human rights.
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize. Who are you not allowed to criticize today? Today in the West, it is the sacred minorities who are exploited by Progressivism to attack our free Christian civilization. The religion of Progressivism is demanding to control us, using Shibboleth manipulated words (especially those ending in - phobia) to stop people questioning, stop people thinking, outside the Left's religious dogma. Ironically, America is becoming less secular as Christianity is pushed aside, and more a theocracy of the dishonest Leftist religion of Progressivism.
First time I have heard you or even about you Mr. Ham! Very refreshing and incredibly insightful! The first five books are the law of God and the laws of God! As you say they are foundational and your teaching of the breaking of the first 11 chapters in Genesis is quite perfect sir!! Blessings in Him, Dave
It’s an interesting observation that when God gave the commandment to eat from every tree except the tree of good and evil, that Eve had not been created yet. So, her knowledge of this commandment must have been transmitted through Adam, who may have accurately quoted it to Eve or may have embellished it as Eve quoted it. The Serpent’s question therefore is a logical question “Did God say?” She didn’t know because Adam told her. The commandment was never written down, so the original was essentially lost to Eve and perhaps to Adam. Adam may have realized he quoted it wrong to Eve and felt responsible for her disobedience and then followed Eve in her sin. The Serpent asked a logical question. The world today continues to ask logical questions, hence the reason for Christians to continuously refer to the written Word of God. But we also have God’s General Revelation through the natural world, so Christians should be very well versed in the evidence that nature presents for the Flood and Creation. Thanks be to the Lord Jesus for Ken Ham adding in all of God’s Revelation in to this discussion.
Well we don’t know whether Eve was told about the tree so it is dangerous to assume she wasn’t told and that Adam told her. Just being helpful not hurtful because you could go down a long road with that thinking without proof.
Nope. you are looking at this wrong. the correct question is why did God put a tree in the garden when he knew they would eat the fruit? THAT is the question. He tempted them openly. He created the tree and put it there intentionally. So either He didn't know if they would eat the fruit and therefore is not all knowing or He did it to tempt them to fall, meaning He is NOT all good. THAT tells you right there all you need to know.
The current church fails to offer what God was giving us - which is grace. It failed to tell us or model for us that God does not love us because we are good but God helps us to be good because He loves us. Lewis compared grace to the sun over a greenhouse. Just as the roof of a greenhouse does not attract the sun because it is bright, it becomes bright because the sun shines on it. A recurrent and yet unspoken theme here is the rigor and rigidity demanded to sustain love that most people crave and that very few find. We see repeatedly in these rituals how harsh demands leave folks vulnerable to conditional love that requires religious demands of imperfect humans. What about God’s Grace? What about our amazing gift of God as love at creation? What about the tangible reality of agape love deep within us all. What if we rest in the divine gift of a God who does not love us because we are good but God helps us to be good because He loves us. This has less to do with religion and more to do with relationship of a God who IS LOVE! That is the message that should permeate church if we want folks to come back.
Wow listening to you is what I have heard in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church all my life. You and retired professor Walter Veith could have such a wonderful conversation (retired zoologist). He had proven TONS and beyond what you have illustrated over his time. Especially on the scientific proof that animals have eaten vegetarian diet from the beginning but changed after sin. He has lots of scientific research too. His lectures on the matter are amazing.
1999 here, I'm thankful for Jesus Christ for not letting me go even when I was sinning and blasfeming against him; He called me and I gave him my life! All glory to God, the almighty! In Jesus name, Amen!
The last church I went to taught Jesus turned water into grape juice. I was using a Christian food pantry. During the pandemic I was refused entry because I couldn’t wear a mask. What a metaphor for the shepherds not feeding the flocks!. They chose to follow the mandates of men, but on Sunday they will preach about following the laws of God. The church and the government are holding hands skipping down the road singing. The church is the people not a building

The Bible does say: "Let no man teach you, the Spirit will teach you in ALL things." The Christian schools, pastors, book writers, the Denominational Corporate offices and all who make money off believers will vehemently try to discredit that verse in all sorts of ways. They'd rather control you, your family and your mind than actually obey the truth.
Heb 4:15-16 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Wonderful message as usual❤ Personally, I don't believe it's about people not going to Church. Churches are businessess and cause division because different speakers have different understandings of the Bible, especially Prophesies. I believe it's because people stopped reading the Bible and turn to their devices to find favorite groups and speakers to hang with and learn from. I also believe it begins at home and school! Take The Word of God out and you're doomed and you've doomed. Blessings ❤🙏 #OnlyJesusSaves ✝️
@newsgetsold absolutely there is, spreading the Gospel and the signs of His soon return is the most important, to the non-believing and uneducated on the Gospel. It is also most important to stay in the Bible, read, pray for understanding, trust the Holy Spirit to give that understanding, not a man behind the pulpit or camera. Gather together to sing praises and hymns and encourage one another to stay righteous and loving one another and rejoicing in His soon Return 💃🙏❤️ #OnlyJesusSaves ✝️
@francismarion6400 I am sad to hear that, truly. If you are not completely content and at peace, and feel that close bond and love with Jesus our Salvation, our One and only True Love and Friend, not needing to find that from groups and individuals, you need to spend more alone time with the Lord. Be in His Word and in prayer continually. The Bible teaches that the Church is the Body of Christ, Christ being the Head. Each one of us who are true Believers and Followers of Christ are made a part of the Body, the "Church". Imagine the number of True Followers today and how full the "Church" is, how full the "Body" of Christ is (though our mission is to make it fuller still). Don't think of this teaching as physical brick-and-mortar churches being the "Body" of Christ. Followers are the Church, the Body. It used to be fulfilling going to church to fellowship back in the days they weren't marketplace businesses, back when reading aloud the Word of God all gathered together (not one man behind a pulpit or stand pushing his own understanding on those who don't bother to read the Bible), singing, lunches, charity events, Christmas caroling, etc...but sadly those days have BEEN gone, and today it's people sitting in front of their favorite funny or empathetic speaker for an hour, watching the money plate pass before their faces, quiet faces and mouths, quiet singing, more like a funeral with merchandise for sale and donation bowls in your face, books tshirts mugs dvds for sale in the lobby or on websites, rather than an uplifting, enjoyable and fulfilling fellowship experience. I miss the good 'ole fellowship days. I pray the Holy Spirit has guided this today to you 🙏 Much love and prayers for blessings, continued faith, strength, and courage in these last days 💃✝️❤️☁️
@kimberlybanufong5423 Interesting the way you just jump to something like belonging to a corporate church, etc. For all you know I could be sitting in prison doing life, devoting my free time to a church inside these bars, that is supported by a big corporate church. I hope you can forgive whoever has hurt you.
People are leaving the church(es) because they see the utter artificiality of religion. They see that it is really used as a coercion/control method and a cash cow for greedy pastors. Since not a single religious person has ever shown that a god exists, the thinking public is starting to say that our future is in our hands and we must do the best we can to make it the best possible.
I think you exaggerate as Dawkins described main line churches as being benign. A few greedy preachers would not belong to mainline churches as they would have no individual control over money recieved. Those few who do such things merely do what any athiest would do.
The problem with the Church is it seems that no one is studying the Bible on a daily basis. In this study you will find the instruction that worship is to be done in PRIVATE houses!!!!
I grew up in the 90s, thankfully homeschooled= self- taught I knew instinctively that evolution was a challenge to my faith and my main source of doubt (not Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism etc!). So I studied hard and realized that scientifically evolution doesn't work, and I am free to fully believe the Bible! And that is liberating
When I was a young woman working for the college I went to in California, I worked at a Christian camp and was told to help a girl that was scared of a demond she had asked to help her fight someone, but she was worried because it talked to her and wouldn't leave her alone. I was confused at first why I was told to help her the next day, so I prayed and read the Bible and asked "what should I say?" God told me to read the Bible and that that demond would not hurt me. I was feeling very strong and mad at the Devil when I met her before breakfast. She told me what the demond said about me and that it would kill me. I laughed and said, "i don't care if it kills me because I will be with my favorite person - JESUS!!" LOL I thought, wjat a dumb demond, that's all it has? So I started reading the same that Ken read- the beginning, it made the demond mad! I didn't care, I told her to tell it to go away in Jesus name, because she was a young Christian and if she invited it she could tell it to go. So she did and it left her alone. I told her- you are God's not Satan's now. Don't talk to demonds now talk to God and Jesus, God loves you and will forgive you for being mean to others, just ask. She was so releaved and kept telling me the Demond was gone and was smiling a lot!
The correct spelling is demon or demons, if they are many. Anyway, you did a great job in casting that evil spirit. Indeed, we have the authority and power for they have been given to us, true believers as mentioned in Luke 10:18. God bless, mighty warrior of the Lord Jesus.... from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Most churches don't preach on end times prophecy even though we are so close the the rapture and the 7year Tribulation!

Reasons for the Decline of the Church (Mainline Churches) 1. Do go out and evangelise the local area. 2, Do not heal the Sick 3. Do not cast out Demons 4. Do not raise the Dead 5. Priests need to have a Degree in Theology. 6. The Church is just a social club for its members to meet once a week. 7. Many Church members and Priests cannot say that Jesus is their Lord and Saviour 8. Many Christians are not "Led By The Holy Spirit." 9. Many Chistians are not filled with the Holy Spirit and Power 10 There is a deliberate Plan to Destroy Christianity and remove it from Schools and Communities and Government. Regards, Michael
What theycall Church ISNT the Body of Christ Church. Its the Church of their own making usurping the Promises God made to Istael.And for not moving the hand of God presupposing being deceived they are offended and leave.

@@JohnBrown-hx5oy Look at us we only believe the bits we want to there are 42,000 christian denominations out there all believing a slightly different version. How ludicrous is that. It seems that some people just can't help inventing new gods.
@@truthgiver8286 I do understand your problem with modern day “Christianity” as a whole, but consider this…sibling rivalry does not mean their parent(s) don’t exist. Contention amongst siblings begins with jealousy, which is another way to say that they desire to glorify self over others. As the rivalry intensifies, they manufacture “reasons” to hate one another that previously didn’t exist. It doesn’t take long before “being right” is more important than what started the argument in the first place! Many (if not most) of those “denominations” left behind any desire to worship and follow the God of the Bible for becoming their own god by declaring “new truth” that only they are privy to. A reading of the Gospel of John will show that Jesus accumulated many followers at the beginning of His earthly ministry (due to the miracles He performed), but they soon stopped following Him, as He did not present “their” view of religion. And Scripture tells us that this was to show that they were never true believers. Just because there are counterfeiters does not suggest there was never a real thing being counterfeited. Quite the opposite. Why would criminals attempt to counterfeit 20 dollar bills if they never existed? And there have been many attempts at counterfeiting…with varying degrees of success. And consider all the other world religions. All attempting to explain our existence-even evolution, which is a religion. You think all evolutionists agree? Evolution has more detours and pathways than Christianity ever thought of. Of course, Darwin is usually heralded as the “chief god” with his “Origin of the Species” bible. In it, he stated that if any “irreducible complexity” could be found, his theory would fall apart? Check out the many irreducible complex parts of the human cell discovered by modern science. Not only are there many parts of the cell that could have never come into existence without just one component present at the beginning, but now scientists admit that even the possibility of finding one strand of DNA “accidentally” composing one positive computation is less than finding a single atom in a trillion galaxies. So, what are you left with? If the true God did not create this world and its life forms, then I guess we have to go back to the other god-the Big Bang. By the way, that theory was developed by a Roman Catholic priest (look it up). So I guess you are really a Roman Catholic. At one point in time there was “nothing.” And although nothing did not have a “place” to exist, it all randomly decided to suddenly rush together. And there was so much energy in nothing that it exploded into everything. And not only did nothing create “everything,” but it created space for it to continually expand into! And “Nothing” had the power to not only “create” everything, it also had the power to magically transform inorganic matter into living cells, coded with the ability to morph into more and more complex life forms. Although actual “observable” science demonstrates that any true mutational processes (such as adding even one chromosome) creates difficulties-not improvements. Evolution (or any other man-made process) leaves us empty of purpose. No reason for existing. No moral basis for how we live or how we treat others. No point to life, as death ends it all, anyway. Why, if slime had the ability (or was “programmed”) to evolve into human life form, did it stop and leave us at the point of literally destroying ourselves? But what does it matter? Maybe the nothing that became everything will one day self-destruct and become nothing again. And then maybe……..
In 1559, it became compulsory to attend Church services. Anyone not attending would be fined a shilling per week (in England). That explains why Church services were so popular.

As an atheist, none of those Secular Worldview items occupies MY worldview. Indeed, I oppose all of them. That I simply don't believe that a God or god's have ever existed does not make me immoral.
It's the fulfilment of the Word of God Almighty. ""Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;"". So there's nothing to surprise
The foundation of the Gospel is plainly stated in 1 Cor. 3:10,11. Also in 1 Cor. 10:1-4 referring to the OT. Unless you want "grist for your mill", there is no conflict between a means of understand physical things in the world around us, (ie. the scientific method) and the Bible. Today we live in a time where hearts have grown cold. Cold hearts are crying out for Christ, the cornerstone. Not a war between Christians' OT interpretive methodologies or textual genre classifications.
Ken, good news is on the horizon: the Great Tribulstion will cause a paradigm shift. Jesus will demand worship of the Creator (first angels message) with two choices for the living-follow Babylon or the Lamb. The second angel's message is then given as people contemplate their choices, Rev. 14.
"to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the APOSTASY COMES FIRST." 2Thessalonians 2:2-3 No comment necessary the Word of God speaks for itself.
Excellent video! I think the fundamental division in world views is whether you believe that God IS or not. Everything else follows. That is the foundation for everything.
Mr. Ham...if you could explain the difference between the DRV and KJV of Gen 3:15. DRV says "She shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel", Whereas the KJV says ..."it shall bruise they head and thou shall bruise his heel".
The more chaff is spit out of the back of the combine and scattered to the wind the better! Trouble today is we garner in the chaff and spit out the wheat. The thing we call church built on sand and made of it too is proving a total disgrace. No wonder attendance is folling off and our castles are falling!. "What is the chaff to the wheat?
Just because youth aren't going to a building doesn't mean they're not Christian. What about house churches? What about people that ARE Christian but aren't going anywhere. Building attendance isn't where you get your stats. Look at countries with "state churches". Doesn't mean they're Christians inside.
I was at class therefore I passed the the test hahaha how can I get my book in Ghana? If one of the brothers can sponsor I will be grateful. Again notify me when you next teach or preach Thanks Elizabeth Mensah.
This sermon is great for making Ham's groupies feel "special"----as if they are the only "true" Christians. Many of the comments are self-congratulatory as they proudly communicate that the writer thinks they show mastery of the Bible, and have knowledge of what people "should" believe. One would think that a powerful god could produce a "holy book" that is clear, unambiguous, and not subject to interpretation.
The Bible is surely clear with no hidden meaning otherwise, did you see Dr. Ham fish out a book of interpretation? But anyway, assuming that the Bible was as clear as you would like it to be, you would definitely find fault. Why do I say this, God understands the need for teaching and that is why He uses people like Ham and teachers of the Word. Yet, despite this, you still find fault because your aim from the beginning was to actually find fault. But your need to use "true Christians" baffles me. Making me believe that what you really want is to justify your ways. In which case, you need not use so many words. Just do whatever, Whatever floats your ship.
If you are compromising you probably aren’t saved and your soul is lost. When you become a Christian and you have totally given your life to God everything is black or white there are no gray areas. If your saved you never have to worry about losing your soul. He says once you are his nothing can snatch you out of his hand
@@mama13bugs I think that's a bit of a stretch. Compromise is important. If you want something a certain way, but another wants it a different way, compromise is what keeps us in fellowship. You probably shouldn't jump to calling somebody unsaved - my experience is that's one of the quickest ways to divide the body when we are supposed to live in one accord. I think the answer is Maybe the word compromise means something different to you? I'd say the answer is to never compromise on the essentials, but compromise on just about everything else... or isolate yourself and never compromise on anything... I suppose you can choose.
@@Circuit_Design_Services God doesn’t compromise. He is the same yesterday today and tomorrow. The Bible doesn’t change. Whatever thus person was talking about they knew that giving in didn’t seem right or they would not have been worried about losing their soul. If you are worried you will lose your soul when you have been saved then something is wrong with your relationship with God. Or if you just want to know how far you can go into sin but still make it to heaven there is still something wrong with the relationship. When you have repented of your sins and you have given your life to God you no longer want to sin. You want to love and serve him and obey him, you’re not trying to find a way to sin just a little and not be in trouble The biggest problem with churches today is no discipline in the church. People who go into the inner cities find that the people who are accepting any religion are becoming Muslims because they say Christians don’t have a backbone and don’t stand for the teachings in the Bible By the way I did not tell the person that they could not possibly be saved, I said probably
For what it’s worth, here’s my take on the “problem” of church attendance: In church, you quote from a text that is over 2000 years old and, just in case we miss the point, you and other men like you, mansplain it to us. “One age cannot conclude a pact that would prevent succeeding ages from extending their insights, increasing their knowledge, and purging their errors. That would be a crime against human nature, whose proper destiny lies precisely in such progress.” E. Kant

Preaching republican pulpits is one of the reasons people are leaving . Plue many churches are cold and lifeless . Arrogance and pride of church members is widespread and has become normal . Looking down on the poor an ignoring them People are not the only ones leaving the church . The Holy Spirit has left many churches as well . I think repentance may need to begin in the pulpit . Preach Jesus . Preach love .
Re "Plus many churches are cold and lifeless ." I went to an awesome church in Nottingham England, 'The Pitcher and Piano' okay, it WAS a church, and is now an awesome pub, not lifeless nor cold. Google for photos.
Dancing around how old the universe is really missing the point. The Bible speaks to a truth about who we are, a deeper experience of who we are that can't be denied. And that understanding that exists in those Words will not disappear. And in fact I think there will be a generational shift coming soon.

I’m older and have traveled extensively in the U S and Europe and South America. I’ve witnessed the loss of members and drop in church attendance. In Brazil, the fastest-growing “?religion” is TV Evangelism
It is deceptive to include the colonial era (before 1776) in the church attendance statistics because during that time churches were established by the governments and universal Sunday attendance was mandated by law in most of the American colonies. In most towns in colonial New England, the church was also the town hall and the seat of government. Churches didn’t get disestablished until 1791 with the ratification of the first amendment to the US constitution. The successors to these New England town churches were the Unitarian-Universalist and Congregationalist denominations of today. These denominations still own the historic church properties in most of the New England town centers. The latter (UCC) are arguably the most liberal of American Christian denominations and the U-U’s are no longer even Christian at all. This should be a big clue as to how doctrinally sound the colonial forced-attendance churches were.
St. Paul's teaching has been set aside along with silent reverance. Communion of the Holy Eucharist has been casualized! It's like a clubhouse where Jesus sits in the corner and is ignored. Then they wonder why their parishes are dwindling! It is heartbreaking.
