I am so glad to be here today
and I'm glad you're here. I needed this song service and
this praise service today. The Apostle Paul said in the
Corinthian letter that Greg has read to us that we as children
of God have been espoused to one husband. We've been engaged. And they said, the apostle said,
I want to present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear
for you that you should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in
Christ. The simplicity that is in Christ. Literally, it reads this way.
I'm afraid you're gonna be corrupted from a single-mindedness that
is in Christ. And then the Psalmist tells us,
that there is a name that shall endure forever. And of course,
that name is the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Christianity is just that. A believing that Christ is all. Christianity is made up of having
a single mindedness toward Christ. This morning, I have no other
God before me but Jesus. I worship no denomination. I
have no ordinances nor rituals. It's Christ and Christ alone
for me. When God would show the wonder
of his grace, he tells Hosea, in the book of Hosea to marry
Gomer, who was the whore. And you remember the story that
she cheated on Hosea. I think many who claim the name
of Christ are cheating on Christ. Gomer did not have a single-mindedness
toward Hosea. She had other lovers. The Bible is a single-minded
book. Its purpose is the unveiling
of Jesus Christ. And pure Christianity is a single-mindedness
toward Jesus Christ. Anything short of a single-mindedness
is whorish, it's unfaithfulness, it's adulterous. It's a guise
of religion. The Apostle Paul put it very
simply, God forbid that I should glory save in the cross. Or maybe another way, I am determined
to know nothing among you save Jesus Christ and him crucified. Note this and note it well that
in heaven, there is only one name that is mentioned And it's
not yours. There's only one name that really
matters. It's the name that shall endure forever. It's his name
that shall be continued as long as the sun and men shall be blessed
in him. And men of all nations shall
be blessed, the Bible says. Men of every kindred and tongue
and nation. then let all that is within me
bless his holy name. The Revelation, the last book
of the Bible, is the future unveiling. Many people go to the book of
Revelation to try to solve all prophecies and mysteries. The
book of the Revelation, it concerns itself ultimately and primarily
with the future unveiling and glory of Jesus Christ. Get used to it. For when we've
been there 10,000 years, we have no less days to sing his praise
than when we first begun. The songwriter wrote, my gracious
master and my God, assist me to proclaim to spread through
all the earth abroad the honors of thy name. Again, the songwriter
said, there is a name I love to hear, I love to sing its worth,
it sounds like music in my ear, the sweetest name on earth. Again,
oh for a thousand tongues to sing, my great Redeemer's praise. Again, the songwriter said, his
name is wonderful. His name is wonderful. His name
is wonderful. Jesus, my Lord. He is the mighty
King, master of everything. His name is wonderful. Jesus,
my Lord. His name shall endure forever. Webster's Dictionary says that
name is a word constituting the distinctive designation of some
person or thing. Name is the embodiment of a reputation,
spiritual nature or essence. And so it is. with the name which
is above every name and before which every knee shall bow, a
name uttered more, written more, sung more than any in all the
world. There are over 220 names in scripture
given to the hymn of the text, whose name shall endure forever.
and for whom we are to have a single-mindedness toward him. If you get nothing
else out of this message, I hope you leave here. That pastor just
preached a single-minded message. As we view his names, you will
see in him, in his names, his glorious character, his glorious
person, his offices and qualities. Through His name, we are helped
to know Him more intimately. His every name is vital, powerful,
revealing, and all-important. There is one name which will
last when all others shall have died out, and that name is connected
with blessing. He came into the world on purpose
to bless sinners. To bless sinners, He parted with
everything. The Bible says, though He was
rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty
might be made rich. He was incarnate blessing. He
is the ever-blessed and ever-blessing One. Our text, Psalms 72, makes
mention of a glorious hymn, and it is through this hymn that
all blessings come. He is the storehouse of all conceivable
good, and of his fullness have all we received, and grace for
grace. Christ is the true medicine to
restore my soul. Christ is the meat and drink
to refresh me. Christ is the fountain of life
from which I drink to quench my thirst. Christ is the light
in my darkness. Christ is the joy in my sadness. Christ is the advocate against
my accuser. Christ is the wisdom against
my folly. Christ is the righteousness against
my sins. Christ is the mercy seat against
the judgment seat. Christ is the throne of grace
against my condemnation. Christ is my peace and rest against
an evil conscience. Christ is my victory against
all my enemies. Christ is my propitiation against
all my trespasses. Christ is my strength against
all my weaknesses. Christ is the way against my
wandering. Christ is the power in the midst
of my infirmities. Christ is my everlasting High
Priest to intercede for me. No man is ever blessed until
he comes to be connected with this glorious hymn. But in this
hymn, I am blessed. Blessed is he whose transgressions
are forgiven, whose sins covered. Blessed is the man unto whom
the Lord will not impute sin. Oh, I'm a blessed man. I'm always I am always satisfied with Him. I am triumphant in Him. I am rejoicing in Him. In Him, I'm blessed. In Him is
life. In Him, we abide. In Him, we
have confidence. In Him, we're blessed. In Him,
we're helped. In Him, our hearts rejoice. In
Him, we trust. In Him is our portion and hope.
In Him, we live and move and have our being. In Him, we're
made the righteousness of God. In Him, all fullness of God dwells. In Him, we are rooted and built
up. In Him, we are complete. In Him, we have a standing that
can never be disputed. In Him, we have a justification
that can never be reversed. In him, we have an inheritance
that can never be alienated. In him, we have a wealth that
can never be depleted. In him, we have a resource that
can never be diminished. In him, we have a bank that can
never be closed. In him, we have a peace that
can never be destroyed. In Him, we have a joy that can
never be surpassed. In Him, we have a grace that
can never be arrested. We have a strength in Him that
can never be weakened. In Him, we have an intercessor
who can never be disqualified. In Him, we have a victor who
can never be vanquished. In Him, we have a resurrection
that can never be prevented. In Him, we have a destiny that
can never be changed. In Him, we have a hope that can
never be disappointed. Are you getting my point? In
him we have a glory. In Him, we have a glory that
can never be dimmed. In Him, we have a relationship
that can never be revoked. In Him, we have a righteousness
that can never be tarnished. In Him, we have an acceptance
that can never be questioned. In Him, we have a title that
can never be clouded. In Him, we have a position that
can never be invalidated. In Him, we have a life that can
never be forfeited. Anybody else in this place, bless
like me. I'm just getting started. We can say the Lord has done
great things for us whereof we are glad. Our mouths are filled
with laughter and our tongues with singing. Some in here have
been telling people that I believe God to be a blesser of only a
few. That is not true. This hymn is
the blesser of multitudes, of innumerable myriads of men that
He purchased on the cross. There'll be more in heaven than
in hell because God never loses in His Son, Jesus Christ. Men shall be blessed in hymn.
I think this perhaps indicates length of time. Men have been
blessed in hymn for centuries, for dispensations, Men and women
have been blessed in him. The Bible says he shall cause
men to be willing in the day of his power. Oh, how much, how
deeply, how long and in how many ways we have been blessed in
him. Blessed to the highest degree.
Christ has removed the curse. No curse abides, only blessings
abide. Hallelujah. He lifted from the
elect world the weight of the eternal curse. He bear away my
sin into the wilderness. Praise God for this hymn, this
Jesus, this Christ of God. I wrote all this down because I
knew I'd chase rabbits if I didn't, so just stay with me. Men shall
be blessed in him. Don't ever think that the success
of this hymn depends on you. Don't think it's your power to
prevent him from accomplishing his mighty purposes of love toward
you. Don't think that even by refusing
his invitation you will thwart him and defeat the purpose of
God. No, no. The king's wedding feast
shall be furnished with guests. He shall cause men to be willing
in the day of his power, turning them from darkness to light and
from the power of sin and Satan unto God. Let it be established
in each of us this morning that we are a people who are single-minded. Now, not so quickly, let us note
that the worthy name of Jesus Christ shall endure forever. Just mark that down. He has an
eternal name. His name is imperishable. His
name shall be perpetuated to everlasting. His name shall be
chanted by the church while the eons of time pile themselves
one on top of another. Would you like to practice? Let's
say 10 times, Jesus Christ. Here we go. Jesus Christ, Jesus
Christ, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Jesus
Christ, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ. I love that chant. I hope you're
not so sophisticated you didn't chant with us. Because when you
get to heaven, you're going to do that chant. His name has endured the attack
of heathenism with the classic Greeks and the power of Emperor
Rome. Bibles have been burned by the thousands. Men have been
burned at the stake. Modernists have called him a
bastard. The liberals have attempted to discredit his name. His own
disciples often lived as if his name were but a passing fancy,
but his name shall endure forever. His name will not fade. His name
will not fail. His name will not flee. I tell
you, as long as on this earth there is a sinner who has been
reclaimed by omnipotent grace, his name shall endure. As long
as there breathes a chief of sinners who has washed himself
in the fountain filled with blood, open for sin and uncleanliness,
as long as there exists a Christian who has put his faith in him
and found in him his delight, his refuge, his stay, his shield,
his song, and his joy, there will be no fear that his name
will be cleansed from this earth. As long as there is a sinner
who has tasted that he is gracious, has manifestations of his love,
sights of his face, whispers of his mercy, assurances of his
affection, promises of his grace, hopes of his blessings, we will
not cease to honor his name. Why should the sinner refused
to sing his praise. The stones would sing, the hills
would be an orchestra, the mountains would skip like rams and the
little hills like lambs. And should these be silent, the
sun would begin the worthy chant of his name. Am I not right about
that? The moon would play her silver
harp, and the night wind sweetly sing his name. The stars would
dance to his praise. The great ocean tides would crash
against the shores, shouting, thou art the glorious Christ,
great is thy majesty and infinite thy power. How shall his name
be forgotten? It is painted on the skies. It
is written on the floods. the winds whisper it, the tempests
howl it, the seas chant it, the stars shine it, the beasts low
it, the thunders proclaim it, the earth shouts it, and the
heaven echoes it. His name shall endure forever
because he's the author. He's the author of an immortal
book. This is an immortal book. His
word shall endure forever. And he is in this book from cover
to cover. You are not a great theologian
or a theologian until you have come to see the Bible, a hymn
book spelled H-I-M, hymn. This Bible declares him, the
hymn of prophecy, the hymn of history, the hymn of experience,
and the hymn of coming glory. The Old Testament cries, behold
he comes. The four gospels cry, behold
he dies. The book of Acts follows, with
behold he lives. The epistles join the chorus,
with behold he saves. The revelation completes this
chorus, with behold he reigns. That's it. That's what it is
all about. He comes, he dies, he lives,
he saves, and he reigns. Every part of it. Every part
of this immortal book is meant to teach us who he is. He is
everywhere to be found in the promises, in the predictions,
in the types and emblems of this immortal book. In Genesis, he's
the seed of the woman. In Exodus, he's the Passover
lamb. In Leviticus, he's our high priest.

one. He was Isaiah's child king, son
of a virgin, with shoulders strong enough to bear the government.
He was Jeremiah's branch of righteousness. He was Ezekiel's plant of renown,
the true shepherd. He was Daniel's stone cut without
hands. He's the fourth man in the fiery
furnace. He was to Joel the hope of the
people. to Obadiah the deliverance upon
Mount Zion, to Micah the turning again to God. He was the one
Nahum saw upon the mountains publishing peace. He was the
anointed of whom Habakkuk sang as going forth for salvation.
He is the true Zerubbabel Haggai's world whose hands laid the foundation
of the church and his hand shall also finish it. He himself being
the dawn of the day when holiness shall be upon the bells of the
horses as Zechariah foretold. He is the son of righteousness
of Malachi's dream. In Matthew he's the Messiah.
In Mark he's the wonder worker. In Luke he's the son of man.
In John he's the son of God. In Acts he's the Holy Spirit
working among men. In Romans, he's the justifier.
In 1 and 2 Corinthians, he's the sanctifier. In Galatians,
he's the redeemer from the curse of the law. In Ephesians, he's
the Christ of unsearchable riches. In Philippians, he's the God
who supplieth all our needs. In Colossians, he's the fullness
of the Godhead bodily. In 1 and 2 Thessalonians, he's
our soon-coming king. In 1 and 2 Timothy, he's the
mediator between God and man. In Titus, he's the faithful pastor. In Philemon, he's the friend
of the oppressed. In Hebrews, he is the blood of
the everlasting covenant. In James, he is the Lord who
raises the sick. In 1st and 2nd Peter, he's the
chief shepherd who soon shall appear. In 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
John, he is love. In Jude, he's the Lord coming
with 10,000 of his saints. In Revelation, he's our King
of kings and Lord of lords. Thank you. Single-mindedness. That's what
I'm talking about. Single-mindedness. He's the living
head of an undying family. His family find in his death
their significance, in his life their example, in his cross their
redemption, and in his resurrection their hope. In this large family
there are many of differing occupations. To an artist, he's the altogether
lovely. To an architect, he's the chief
cornerstone. To an astronomer, he's the son
of righteousness. To a baker, he's the living bread.
To a banker, he's the hidden treasure. To a biologist, he
is the life. To a carpenter, he's the sure
foundation. To a doctor, he's the great physician.
To an educator, he's the great teacher. To a farmer, he's the
sower and lord of the harvest. To a florist, he's the lily of
the valley and the bright and morning star. He's the rose of
Sharon. He is the rock of ages to a jeweler. He's the pearl of great price.
To a philosopher, he's the wisdom of God. To a Christian, he's
the son. He is the living God, Savior
and Lord. He is our kindest friend. He
is our unworried benefactor. He is our patient teacher. His
wisdom is our guide. His power, our defense. His sympathy,
our consolation. His approval, our reward. His
salvation, our highest hope. He is the sun who enlightens
us. He is the physician who heals
us. He is the wall of fire that defends us. He is the friend
who comforts us. He's the pearl who enriches us.
He's the ark who supports us. He's the rock who sustains us.
He is the true deliverer. He is prophet, priest, and king.
He is the white and rudy one. He is the lion and the lamb.
He's the servant and the Lord. He's the true scapegoat. the
true brazen serpent. He's my mercy seat. He is my
joy and my comfort. His blood is my pardon. His righteousness
my justification. His strength is my strength.
His promise is my cheer. His grace keeps me. His power
presents me faultless. His bond is love and His burden
is light. When I fall, He lifts me up.
When I fail, He forgives me. When I'm weak, He's strong. When
I'm lost, He's my way. When I'm afraid, He's my courage.
When I stumble, He steadies me. When I'm hurt, He heals me. When
I'm broken, He mends me. When I'm blind, He leads me.
When I'm hungry, He feeds me. When I'm persecuted, He shields
me. When I face loss, He provides
for me. When I face death, He carries
me home. His ways are right. His word
is eternal. His will is unchanging, and His
mind is on me. He is everything for every elect,
everywhere, every time, and in every way. Wait a minute, I'm not finished. You bunch of radical, single-minded
people. All right. All right, let's try it again.
Since he's the way, since he's the way, there is no other way. Since he's the truth, everything
else is a lie. Since he is the life, everything
apart from him is death. He is architect of the universe
and manager of all times. He is unmoved, unchanged, undefeated,
and never undone. He was bruised and brought healing.
He was pierced and eased pain. He was a servant and brought
freedom. He was dead and brought life.
The world can't understand him, yet no one can ignore him. The
armies can't defeat him. Herod couldn't kill him. Nero
couldn't crush him. The Pharisees couldn't confuse
him. Hitler couldn't silence him.
The new age can't replace him. And the salvation by works people
can't control him. He's keeper of the creation and
the creator of all he keeps. Okay, but I'm not through yet. His name is Jehovah, God, the
Son of God. His name is Wonderful, Counselor,
Mighty God, Prince of Peace, Rose of Sharon, Lily of the Valley,
Bright and Morning Star. He's the Bread of Heaven, Water
of Life. He's the Door, the Truth, the
Way, the Life. He's Alpha and Omega, Beginning
and Ending, First and Last. He's the Resurrection. He's the
Keyholder. Reverend and holy is his name.
He is the image of the invisible God, the first begotten of every
creature. He's the head of the church,
the firstborn from the dead. He's the pearl from paradise.
He's the gem from the holy land. He's time's choice's theme. He's
life's strongest cord. His blessed name is like honey
to the taste, like harmony to the ear, help to the soul, and
hope to the heart. He precedes all others in priority. He exceeds all others in his
superiority, and he succeeds all others in his finality. He's
the master of the mighty. He's the captain of the conquerors.
He is head of the heroes. He is leader of the legislators. He is the overseer of the overcomers. He is the governor of governors.
He is the prince of the princes. He's the owner for he is Lord. Even though he did not put his
signature in the sunset, he's still the owner. Though he did
not put his mark on the meadow, he's still the owner. Though
he did not carve his initials in the side of the mountain,
he's still the owner. Even though he did not put a
brand on the cattle on a thousand hills, he's still the owner.
He did not take a copyright out on the songs the birds sing,
but he's still the owner. He had no servants, yet they
called him master. He had no degree, yet they called
him teacher. He had no medicines, yet they
called him healer. He had no army, yet kings feared
him. He won no military battles, yet
he conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they
crucified him. He was buried in a tomb, but
he got up the third day, and he lived. All other religious reformers
and messiahs come to live. He came to die. All others leave
monuments and memorials. No one can find his birthplace,
grave, nor one possession. All others write diaries and
memoirs. He wrote on the sand and forgave
the woman taken in adultery. All others choose their followers
from the rich and powerful and influential. He chose the poor
and needy. All others praise human righteousness,
and He condemned it. All others seek those who can
help them. He sought those who could not
help themselves. All others promise success and
happiness to their followers. He promised that there would
be tribulations in this world. All others hold their disciples
with fear and force. He invited his to leave him if
they would. All others have palaces, mansions,
headquarters. He had no place to lay his head.
All others. where the most talented he recognized,
but not this man. He took the least of the greatest
and saved them. All others say, follow me and
I'll show you the way. He said, come unto me because
I am the way. All others claim to be messengers
of God. He said, if you have seen me,
you have seen the Father. All others stay dead, he arose.
He overrules all mortal things. He directs the movement of the
stars. He rules the armies of heaven.
His kingdom rules over all, and of his dominion there shall be
no end. Here's his claim, all power is given unto me. That's
what he said. He came down the stairway of
heaven, born in Bethlehem, grew up in Nazareth, baptized in Jordan,
tempted in the wilderness, performed miracles by the roadside, healed
multitudes without medicine, and made no charges for his services.
He conquered everything that came up against him, went up
on Calvary and died there, then went down into the grave, and
there cleaned out the grave and made it a pleasant place to wait
for the resurrection. Then on the third day, he got
up with the army of his omnipotence. Men have been trying to wrestle
his power from him all these years, but you can't destroy
him. What are you going to use for
power? He has all power. If you try to destroy him by
fire, he'll refuse to burn. If you try to destroy him by
water, he'll walk on the water. If you try to destroy him by
a strong wind, the tempest will lick his hand and lay down at
his feet. If you try to destroy him with
a law, you'll find no fault in him. If you put him in the grave,
he'll rise again. If you try to destroy him by
rejection, it won't be too long till you hear a still small voice
saying, this is the way, walk ye in it. Do you know his name? Let's chant it one more time.
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,
Jesus Christ. Okay, okay. Let me tell you, if the Muslims
can do that chant, we can do our chant. Let me try to tell you one more
time who he is. He is peace, He is peace that
passes all understanding. He is peace in the valley. He
is peace in the fiery furnace. He is peace in the lion's den.
He is peace crossing the Red Sea. He is peace in the time
of trouble. He is peace in the day of judgment.
His name is purifier, potter, prince, and propitiation. His
name is physician and potentate. His name is Root, Refuge, Rock,
Redeemer, Redemption, Righteousness, and Ransom. He is rivers of water
in a dry place. He is a Savior, a Shepherd, Son
of David, Son of God, Star of Jacob, Shiloh, Son of Righteousness,
Sanctification. He's a Teacher, a Tower, a Testator. He's the Tree of Life and the
Truth. He is a Minister, Messenger, Message, Mediator. Messiah, and
mighty God. He is a light in a dark place.
He is the light of the world. He is the Lord of all. He is
love divine. He is longevity. He's a lawgiver,
and He's my Lord. He is a day star. He's a day
spring. He's a daysman. He's the desire
of all nations. He is my desire. He's an advocate. He's ancient of days, and He's
my amen. He's the chief cornerstone. He's
the captain of my salvation. He's a counselor and He's my
consolation. He's a forerunner, a finisher,
a first, a fortress, a fountain, a friend of sinners, a friend
that sticketh closer than a brother. He is the Galilean, He is goodness,
He is gentleness, and He is God. Let me hear you say His name
one more time. Jesus Christ. Have a single-mindedness
toward Him. You miss Him, you miss it all.
He's what it's all about. Now, let me say this, and I am
most serious today. I know we've had a bit of a good
time, and all I've tried to do is just to get you to see this
is all about Him. This is His glory. Christianity is Him. Christianity,
I like to call it. Last week, last Sunday morning, A young man met me out that front
door, opened the door for Miss Pam and I. On Friday, he took
his life, he shot himself, and went out into eternity. Understand
this, without Christ, you won't make heaven. Here's very simply
what the scripture said. You've seen all our hoopla today.
You've seen us happy. We love his name. We love to
say his name. We love to hear his name. And
I hope that today you will center on Jesus Christ too. There's
an eternity that awaits. We lost two of our Folks, in
tragic way this week, death went out into eternity. And I
can't say how and describe to you how I mourned in this way. When they were here, did I lift
him up? Did I say, behold the Lamb of God? Did I urge upon
them to trust Christ, to believe on Christ? Knowing the terror
of the Lord, did I persuade them? I say, pastor, you're not gonna
save anybody. You know I'm aware of that. But
I do know this, that the Spirit of God wrote this book. He wrote
this book, The Spirit of God. Jesus said this, He, the Spirit
of God, when He comes, He shall magnify me. He did a right good
job of it in this Bible, the Spirit of God. And so today,
I tried to take the saints to the name of Christ for you to
rejoice and to feel and rest assured that you're centered
on Christ. I hope you've been renewed and
that you know now for sure and without certain your faith is
built on Jesus Christ and nothing less. You see him as the way,
the truth and the life. And so in conclusion, I say this,
if you don't know his name, if you don't know his name, You
have no priest to atone or intercede. You have no fountain to wash
away your guilt. You have no Passover blood to
sprinkle on your linen. You have no shepherd to tend
you. You have no king to help you. You have no providence to
work your good. You have no advocate to plead
your case and cause in heaven. Boy, every child of God in here
are so happy about having a lawyer in heaven that's never lost a
case, that he pleads your cause. And when he pleads for you, he
doesn't plead your works of righteousness, but he pleads his own blood on
behalf of the Father. Without knowing him, his name,
you're a body without a head. You're a miserable orphan with
no father. You're a widowed soul without
a husband. You're without a savior, without
a friend in heaven, without virtue of his great sacrifice, without
merit of his atoning blood. Without Christ, your religious
acts are vanity. Without Christ, your church goings
are nothing but a form of slavery. Your prayers are empty wind.
Your good deeds are nothing but camouflage to hide your base
iniquities. Your religion is dead and corrupt. It's a stench in the nostrils
of God Almighty. When I get to heaven, Jesus Christ
is not gonna hear the last of it. He is my ticket. I'm trusting
him, come hell or high water. And you know, in this week's
event, where I ran, right to Jesus Christ. Lord, I don't know
why, but I know you know. And I know you, I even got up
this morning and said, Lord, you're working everything for
my good and God's glory. And you know, a lot of times
you get where you just don't get it. You don't exactly understand. That's when you trust him, trust
him, just trust him. He'll do right. And I close with
this passage, Philippians 2.10, at the name of Jesus, every knee
shall bow. And the songwriter put it this
way, all hail the power of Jesus name. Let angels prostrate fall,
bring forth the royal diadem and crown him Lord of all. He is my King. He is King of
Kings and Lord of Lords. He is not waiting to be King.
He is King now. and we look to him as our king,
as the sovereign Lord Jesus Christ. Let's stand together and sing
his praise.
