Arise and Be Healed

Q: What does the Bible say about worship?

The Bible teaches that worship is attributing worthiness to God, rooted in the understanding of His character and His works. Worship is fundamentally about attributing worth to God, often expressed through praise and the acknowledgment of His nature. In Psalm 65, David highlights how God's people are called to worship Him through collective praise in Zion, which represents the church. Worship is not merely an act; it is an expression of the relationship between God and His people where God delights in being glorified by them. In Revelation 5:9, the Lamb is praised for His redemptive work, emphasizing the centrality of Christ's sacrifice in our worship. True worship recognizes God's sovereignty and grace, leading us to praise Him for His mercy and sacrificial love.

Q: How do we know that Christ's death atones for our sins?

Christ's death on the cross is presented in Scripture as the perfect sacrifice that purges our sins, fulfilling God's requirement for atonement. The atonement of Christ is a foundational truth within Reformed theology that underscores His sacrificial death as the means by which our sins are purged. In Psalm 65:3, we see that God purges our iniquities, a promise fulfilled through Christ's death. This is echoed throughout Scripture, including in John 17:1, where Jesus speaks of glorifying the Father through the redemption He accomplishes for those the Father has given Him. The eternal significance of Christ's death is emphasized in Revelation 13:8, where the Lamb is identified as slain from the foundation of the world, showcasing the timeless plan of redemption crafted in eternity. Thus, the certainty of atonement rests in the character and covenant of God fulfilled in His Son’s perfect sacrifice.

Q: Why is it important for Christians to serve God?

Serving God is a response to His grace and mercy, as Christians are called to live out their faith through actions that reflect Christ's love. Serving God is integral to the Christian life, representing our response to His immense grace and the love shown to us through Jesus Christ. As expressed in 1 Corinthians 13, love is measured by actions and true service to God reflects our love for Him. In accordance with the covenant of grace, Christians are motivated to serve because they recognize that Christ died for all, which compels them to live for Him (2 Corinthians 5:14-15). Serving is not just an obligation but an act of worship that glorifies God and shares His love with others. As we serve, we carry out the mission given to us by Christ, demonstrating our faith in action and our desire to see His glory manifest in the world.

Q: What do Christians mean by 'God hears our prayers'?

Christians believe that God hears our prayers because He is a personal God who responds to the cries of His people. The belief that God hears our prayers is central to Christian faith. It is rooted in the understanding that God is not distant but intimately involved with His creation. In Psalm 65:2, it is declared that 'O Thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come,' affirming that God attentively listens to our needs and pleas for mercy. The assurance that our prayers are heard is grounded in the character of God, specifically His mercy and grace. Each cry for help, especially concerning sin, is met with the promise of purging and redemption through Christ. The act of praying is not only about speaking; it encompasses an expectation of divine response, which comes through His Spirit and the work of Christ mediating for us.

Q: Why is praising God important for Christians?

Praising God is essential as it acknowledges His worth, expresses gratitude, and reinforces our relationship with Him. Praising God is a cornerstone of the Christian life, capturing the essence of worship and our relationship with Him. In Psalm 65:1, it's noted that 'praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion,' demonstrating that praise is both an expression of our gratitude and a response to God's character and deeds. Worshiping and praising God reminds us of His greatness, mercy, and the salvation we have in Christ, ultimately glorifying Him and edifying ourselves as His people. Praise is also an act of community, as believers come together to exult in God’s goodness, strength, and love shown through the Lamb’s sacrifice. By focusing on God through praise, we align our hearts and minds with His will, fostering a spirit of unity and joy based in His truth.

These four verses in Psalm 65 are a beautiful outline of the gospel. And I thought we'd just go kind of word by word, phrase by phrase through this. I want us to see the overall picture here in these first four verses. It says God is praised in verse one. God is served. and God is worshiped. And it says that his people are blessed and brought, bountifully provided for.

We'll look at those six things, what the Lord delights in when it comes to his church and how we are blessed and delight also It says that praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion. And Zion is always a picture of the church in the scriptures. It's the city of worship in the Old Testament. We see that now in God's church. This is where we come together and read his word, and hear his word, and preach, and hear, and praise his name in song, and hopefully in our hearts throughout the preaching of the gospel. But it's interesting here how that it says, praise waiteth for thee, O God. If something that we delight in waits for us somewhere, we're going there. And so does God. This is not bragging on us, but where in God's world do you think He is tonight?

Of course He delights in creation. He made it. He loves all of His creatures in a sense. His providence is perfect and beautiful. But what the Lord delights in is mercy. He delights in praise. He inhabiteth praise. He delights to be worshiped and honored and glorified. He made a world that he might be glorified. And he has a bride for his son that his son might be glorified.

And so it's no wonder that he says, where you're gathered in my name, where just a couple, three of you are gathered in my name, that's where I am. The Lord's everywhere, of course, in a sense, but we know that he is in certain places in a particular way. He has met his people in places in the scriptures we see, And praise waits for him here. This is where the Lord comes to be praised. And I want to say that the right way. You know that it's not apart from him that we praise him. He causes it. He enables us. He reveals himself to us so that we are not just praising an idol called Jesus, but we're praising him.

And, but the Lord delights to be in his church, and what does it say about us here? We delight in that too. In verse four, that's what we delight in too. We're gonna be in the Lord's house, and we're gonna be happy about it. That we may dwell in thy courts, and we'll be satisfied with the goodness of your house. So this is a beautiful coincidence.

But the Lord, the very thing that the Lord delights in, his church, is what we also delight together as his church, and to be in his house. And of course, in the ultimate sense, God's church and our, God's house to us, our dwelling place is the Lord Jesus Christ. And God delights in His Son, and we delight in His Son. So you see that in this text, that it's a mutual place and way of joy and glory and blessing for both God and His sheep. God gets glory, we get blessing. And there's one thing that's the great cause of it all.

What are we singing about? What are we preaching about? What are we talking about? What's the subject of our worship? Verse three. Iniquities prevail against me. As for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. We sing of the precious blood of Christ that taketh away all of our sin. We talk about him. We preach Christ crucified. We preach the lamb that was slain. We preach the precious blood because all of our hope is bound up in the Lord Jesus Christ and what he accomplished for us on Calvary.

Praise waiteth for thee, O God in Zion. And that's what we praise Him for, for giving Himself for us. Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift. Praise His holy name. We sing, worthy is the Lamb. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain. You know, worship is worth-ship. Worship is to attribute worthiness unto God. What's the subject of our worship? Worthy is the Lamb that was slain. because he redeemed us to God. He got it done, didn't he? That's worthy of praying. That's worthy of worship now. The omnipotent, almighty, successful, victorious champion of sinners who put our sins away on Calvary and redeemed us in whom we have obtained eternal redemption. Worthy is the lamb that was slain turn with me to revelation 5 verse 9 Let's read some of that Praise is waiting for God here. He's designed it. He's purposed it but it is waiting for him here and And He comes, and He is praised. Look at Revelation 5 and 9, and they sung a new song saying, Thou art worthy to take the book.

That is literal worship. Remember the words worth-ship when you think of the word worship. It is to attribute worthiness unto God, to say you're worthy. You're worthy. That's literal worship. That's worship with our mouths. Bless God, He makes it so in our hearts. Thou art worthy to take the book and to open the seals thereof for thou wast slain and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation and hast made us under our God kings and priests and we shall reign on the earth And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne, and the beasts, and the elders, and the number of them was 10,000 times 10,000, and thousands of thousands sang with a loud voice, worthy is the lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.

He is those things. When it says, when it's talking about him being These things being unto Him, we're to praise Him for those things. He is strength and power and blessing. Do we praise Him for His power? Religion denies the power, the authority of God to do with His own what He will.

But His people praise Him for that because we know what condition we were in. That without His almighty grace, without him arresting us on the road to hell like he did Saul of Tarsus. There's no grace for us. There's no hope for us. We don't deny the power thereof by his grace because it's that power that saved us.

He saved us with a mighty hand, with a mighty hand. So we see this is the church in the book of Revelation glorified in eternity. And what are we doing? We're praising the Lamb that, as verse three in our text talks about, has purged us from our sins. He's put our sins away. And we're still praising Him for that.

And eternity is eternity. It's not an endless amount of time. It's altogether separate from time. But here's the question, can we do that now? You know, the Apostle Paul said that We should praise and glorify him both now and forever. We know we're going to forever, but what about now? Can we do that tonight?

If he would give us a glimpse of his glory on Calvary, of his redeeming glory for a wretch like me, I believe that it would draw from our hearts the praise And it would wait for Him here. It would wait for Him here. When He comes, He'll find us by His grace, by His design, praising His holy name.

You know, praising the Lord doesn't leave a lot of room for a lot of nonsense, does it? It kinda, when as a church, we're just exalting the Savior, it kinda makes our petty grievances and We dwell on the past, and we dwell on foolish things, and we revel in our own vanity. But one thing that tends to erase that is when our eyes are fixed on things above, and never forget what it says right after that, that we might fix our eyes, our hearts on things above, Above where? Where Christ sitteth on the right hand of the majesty on high. Our hearts and minds are to be set on things above where Christ is on the throne. And that tends to put in perspective all of the vanity that we dwell on and dwell on and dwell on in this life.

Praise waiteth for thee and zion oh god how come because our iniquities thou shalt purge them away we come here to wash again don't we though we know it's an eternal washing and we'll see that you have purged them away you are purging them away they are purged away by the eternal blood of god's lamb that takes away sin And then God is served, vows are made unto him and performed. You see that?

We worship him, we praise him, and by his grace, we serve him. We're not, by the grace of almighty God, we're not just giving lip service to him, but we serve him and love him indeed. Love is defined in 1 Corinthians 13 by what it does and doesn't do, not by how feely, warm, and fuzzy it is. It's defined by action. And so the love, why do we serve him? Why do we praise him?

For the love of Christ constraineth us. We've heard this verse a lot of times, but listen to it again. For the love of Christ constraineth us. Because we thus judge, we don't think the same as we used to. We don't judge things the way we used to. Here's how we judge things. Here is the lens through which we see everything.

That if one died for all, then all were dead. He died for us because we were dead, and he lives again, and so we live in him. And that he died for all. that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them."

It goes again. We're not going to, just not. We're not gonna live for ourselves. I know we tend to, I know we gravitate back to that. This world pulls us back in and we start thinking, boy, I'm gonna win this dog race, you know. No, we've already won. We've already won. It wasn't a race, it was God's grace, and we've already won.

Just enjoy it now. Just enjoy it. If you can enjoy the things, let's thank Him for them. And whatever blessings He bestows, let's use what He gives and enjoy it, but let's use it for His honor and His glory, our time, whatever abilities He's given us.

Serve Him. Serve Him. We make our vows and we perform them by His grace. And not only is Christ our motivation and our example in performance, but He is our fulfillment of this. Because no matter how much we think we serve Him, first of all, He doesn't need us to do anything for Him. He just lets us in on it because He loves us.

And it's such an honor and privilege to be a part of his ministry, to be a part of his work. You know, Paul said, we're nothing, we're not anything, but the one that is something is the one who owns this whole thing and runs it and included me in it. But it's good to be in it. It's good to be in it.

Christ is the only one that ever made a vow to God and kept it perfectly. So he's our motivation for us to make vows and try to keep them, keep them, you know, in these sinful bodies. And with whatever can be salvaged in the moment of our sinful hearts to actually do something out of love for him. Boy, he's our fulfillment of this too. The Lord Jesus Christ made a covenant in eternity covenant between the three persons of the Godhead, and Christ agreed in that covenant to be our surety. And what did he do? Purged our sins. That's what he agreed to do. He became responsible for us.

He's the shepherd and bishop of our souls, and that word bishop means somebody that's responsible for somebody else. When he by himself purged our sins, Verse three again, but look at verse two. I like the way David describes God here, but let's focus on our theme at the same time. Let me get back there myself to Psalm 65. O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. O thou that hearest prayer. We're going to praise him. We're going to serve him. We have served him perfectly in Christ, and we're gonna come to him. We're gonna come to him.

You see that? Oh, thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. Not everybody that's flesh, but among all. We read it there in Revelation, out of every kindred, tribe, nation, and tongue under heaven. We know that not everybody in the world for all time has come to Christ. That's not what it's saying.

It's saying all over the world, from all kindred, tribes, nations, and tongues under heaven, his people will come because he hears us. He hears us. And we're going to come to him. How does that happen? Well, no man can come to me, he said, except the Father, which has sent me drawing. He said, if I be lifted up, I'll draw. I'll draw you. And I'll raise him up at the last day.

Now we see the inability of the sinner in this verse, and rightly so. No man can come unto me. But we tend to dwell on that. So sometimes I think, and I'm guilty to the exclusion of where it is we're coming. No man can come. Where is it they can't come?

To Christ. But when God gets involved, where is it we're gonna come? To Christ. That's where. So let's don't dwell so much. I mean, we see his grace in the fact that we can't do it by nature. And we know that once the Lord turns the light on, we know that.

If he hadn't come where I was, I could never get to him. Like the prodigal son, I mean, like the, The man that was dying and bleeding out in the ditch, the good Samaritan came where he was. If he hadn't done that for me, I'm a goner. I'm a goner. We're coming to him, we're coming to the one who actually hears us and clearly implied in that, is that He does something about it.

He can do what is necessary. Remember when the Lord Jesus said, the Father heareth me always? That doesn't just mean that the Lord's voice fell upon the Father's ear. That means He hears me and He does something about it. He always does. The Lord Jesus does always those things that please the Father, and the Father always under bears and does what the son asked for, whatever his intercession is, is accomplished. What would he be hearing us concerned? What are we coming to cry unto God? Well, first of all, we're going to have to cry to him regarding our sin, our sins. Lord, if you will, you can make me clean. That's what we come up there. That leopard didn't come up there saying, Lord, if you will, you could give me a million dollars. No, he didn't care about that. He needed something done about his sins.

And that's every sinner whom the Lord turns the light on for. We're gonna come to him and we're gonna crown him for our sins. Psalm 86, three, be merciful unto me, O Lord. I cry unto thee daily. For what? Mercy. Be merciful to me, the sinner. Be merciful to me. And it's our cry for mercy that he hears. And how does he answer? Verse three. He purges our iniquities. He purges our iniquities. Why do we come to him? It says we come. We're going to come to him because he hears us.

He draws us to himself, because when he is lifted up from the earth, of course, that has reference to the cross. When Christ was lifted up like the brazen serpent in the wilderness, and Moses said, look and live, and those who looked lived, the Lord Jesus said, so must the Son of Man be lifted up. And he said in John 12, 32, if I be lifted up from the earth, I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all unto me. Draw all unto me. It's Christ crucified that we come to.

It's when he's lifted up. And he's lifted up not to crucify him afresh, but to remind us of what he did for us. He's lifted up in the gospel, isn't he? Again, not to crucify him afresh, but as a remembrance of who he is and what he did, the bread and the blood. So it's Christ crucified we come to. Remember when Thomas, there's so much beautiful gospel in Thomas' experience.

You know, his obstinate cry when the disciples told him what they had experienced, what they had seen the Savior, he said, unless I see, unless Unless I am intellectually convinced, I will not believe. And how did the Lord deal with that? How did the Lord deal with that? When Thomas beheld the Son of God who appeared in their midst, who had just been crucified for Thomas's sins, but Thomas is sitting there saying, I will not believe. But just hours before, the Lord had paid for his sins on Calvary, and the Lord is standing there and he's showing him his hands and his side. And what does he say to Thomas? Eventually he says, be not faithless, but believe me. But what's the first thing he said? Come hither.

Who are we coming to? the lamb that was slain. That's the character in which the Lord Jesus calls us to himself. When he's lifted up, when we see him raised up between heaven and earth, our mediator between heaven and earth, our mediator between God and us sinners, and as our high priest, offering his own precious blood in the holy place not made with hands, That's where we come. We come to the mercy seat and say, God, be merciful to me.

Have mercy on me. I'm in the place where mercy is had. I need it. I need it. He said, come here. Come here, Thomas, and reach hither thy finger and thy hand and touch my hands and reach your hand into my side and be not faithless. I will not believe, be not faithless, my Lord and my God. That's how it works. That's how it works.

And spiritually speaking, the Lord speaks to us in the gospel and says, come here. What do the spirit and the bride say? They say, come. And let him that hear it say, come. And all of us who've come, you know what we say? Come. Come. and drink the water of life freely." Drink the water of life. David said, here we come.

God will hear us and he'll purge our sins. To whom should we go? Who else are we going to go to? Where else are we going to go? God will hear us from his almighty throne and he's able to put our sins away. To whom shall we go? He has the words of eternal life. The words of eternal life are the gospel of Christ crucified. And then, so he purges our sins and we see the result, we see the result unto God in our text. What God gets out of it, and I know that's kind of a, you know, slang way of saying that, but God's gonna get something out of this, isn't he?

He's gonna get something out. When the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins. That's not an offering. That's not an offer to sinners. That's an offering unto God. God has to be satisfied. God has to be pleased. There has to be atonement made with God. God's got to get something out of it.

Listen, John 17, 1, these words spake Jesus and lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour has come. The hour for what? We know what. But listen to the way the Lord Jesus describes it here. We know what the hour is. It's the hour from the words of our text that he's gonna purge our sins. The sins of those you gave me, if you read the whole of John 17. It's clear whose sins he's gonna purge. It's clear who he's representing there, his high priest. His people, those that the father gave him, his elect, his chosen. But listen to the way he describes this hour. glorify thy son, that thy son also glorify thee.

That's what God gets out of it. Eternal. We're going to be singing about it when we die and go where he is and see him as he is because we'll see him face to face. We'll be like him because we're going to see him as he is. And we're still going to be singing in a much sweeter voice from a perfect heart. Worthy is the Lamb. Worthy is the lamb. Glorify. Here's the hour. What's this hour about? Glorify me, and I'm gonna glorify you. And that's what happened, is it not? That's exactly what happened.

David said, we're coming to the God who can hear, and we'll do something about it. He's gonna purge our sins. He loved us and what? Gave himself for us. And that's what David's singing about. He causes us to come, and we come. We're His chosen ones. Why did He choose us?

You know, we can ask this question. We talked about this before. We can ask this question for, we can go back a few notches here. We can say, why in the world would He die for me? Well, because He loved me from eternity. But why did He love me? Do you have an answer to that? The only thing we know about that is that God loves us in His Son. He loves us in His Son. God's love is in Christ Jesus our Lord, Romans 8, 33 or 4, whatever, right there at the end of the chapter.

Now maybe you're thinking about this and you're wondering, how can Christ's sacrificial, sin-atoning death, which occurred in time, be the cause of God's electing love for us which he bestowed upon us in eternity. How can something that happened in time be the cause of eternity? Well, it's because though Christ died on a cross at Calvary on a day in time, his sacrifice, his atonement for sin, his precious blood is revealed clearly in the scriptures to be eternal. It is eternal.

He is the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. John, think about it. When did it happen in the book of Revelation where we read a while ago? When did that happen? Is eternity before the world was made or after the world was made? No, it's all together separate. It preempts time. It's preeminent overtime. God inhabiteth eternity. And what did John see there? Completely separate from time. He looked into eternity and from God had a revelation into the eternal glory. And what did he see?

A lamb as it had been slain. It happened on a day. Of course it did. But God justified us in Christ. He redeemed us in Christ. before the foundation of the world, because Christ is the eternal Lamb. That's a character that He embodies on the very throne, the eternal throne of God. Don't try to limit that to time. Of course, we're thankful that God fulfilled that in time. He must. When He speaks something, it's done in time. It's accomplished on a day. or in his good time, whatever time that is.

But don't disregard the eternal aspect of the atonement of Christ. How can you? What was John looking at when he saw the lamb slain from the foundation? When was that? Of course, it was an eternity which is without beginning or end. That's who Christ is, always has been. So the source and cause of all blessedness from God to the sinner is Christ crucified? Eternally so? In the beginning so? Ever since God slayed animals and covered Adam and Eve's nakedness, that's been revealed to us? And to this day it's true, and when this world ends it'll be true. Christ crucified.

The Lord said to his disciples, remember when they came back and they were all excited about being able to cast out devils. Lord, we were able to cast out devils. It was amazing. And the Lord said, don't glory in that. Of course, that must've been a wonderful gift, you know, to be able to do that for people. What a blessing to somebody that was in that horrible case. But he said, don't glory in that, that you have power to cast out devils. Glory in the fact that your names are written down in heaven. You know where they're written down?

In the Lamb's book of life. The Lamb. The Lamb that was slain. Rejoice in that. Rejoice in Him. Rejoice that your sins are purged in the language of our text. They're put away. Rejoice that your robes are white because they're washed in the precious blood of the Lamb. That's worthy of rejoicing in. And we will, we're gonna praise Him, we're gonna serve Him, and we're gonna come to Him, and God's gonna get glory. He's gonna get glory, and He's gonna delight.

Praise waits for Him here, and He comes, and God experiences that, and it's a sweet-smelling savor of Christ unto God. It's not something sweet about our character or some quality in us that God smells. Paul said, when the gospel is preached, it's a sweet-smelling savor of Christ unto God.

It's always a victory, because God is praised and glorified. And what a blessing to be in on that. So God, he's blessed is the man whom thou choosest and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts. We're gonna be satisfied just like God is. God inhabiteth the praises of his people. It's a sweet-smelling savor of Christ unto him and unto us, and unto us. And what else is gonna satisfy you except to know? You know, I'm gonna abandon my notes and just speak to you for a few minutes. I'll start to say five minutes, but then if it's 20, you're gonna come after me. It's an undisclosed period of time. But listen, if a sinner's ever gonna be happy, if we're ever gonna be blessed, you know the word blessed means happy. Happy. The Lord makes us happy. Anything wrong with that? If we're ever gonna be happy, we're gonna have to know.

We're gonna have to know the Lord Jesus Christ. We're gonna have to know him as he's revealed in this book. And it's not just to know things about him. We're gonna have to become acquainted with him by faith that he gives in such a way that we're united to him, that we're always aware of his presence with us. I like the way John Chapman, I'll never forget something he said from this pulpit probably seven or eight years ago. He said to walk in the conscious reality of Christ and what he did for us. to be aware of it all the time in everything that we do. We know when we enter some endeavor in this life that the Lord's already blessed it.

If he causes it to crumble, that's a blessing. If he causes it to succeed, that's a blessing. God's blessing is not individual acts of happiness that he gives. God's blessing, if you have the blessing of God, that encompasses you and your whole life and everything about you. You either have his blessing or you don't have his blessing. Because his blessing, you see, is in Christ. So it can't just be this and that and, oh, that was a blessing.

Well, it's okay to talk like that, as long as you understand that when you're in Christ, everything's a blessing. And we're not gonna be happy till we understand that. And God reveals that to us in his gospel. And that makes us happy, doesn't it? It makes us happy. You're not gonna be happy until all of your guilt, all of your sin, all of your guilt, all of your regret, all of your sorrow is done away with.

You know, I've said this to you many times, psychologists and things like that, and I'm not saying anything either way on that. I've come to believe that maybe they have a place, but here's the thing about that. Psychologists and psychiatrists always say that unresolved guilt, your problem is always some kind of unresolved guilt.

That's the truth. The problem is you're not gonna resolve it by talking about it. The only one that can resolve that guilt is the Son of God. And it's not guilt against somebody else. David said, against you. He wronged a lot of people. He'd done some bad things to some people, some good people. But he said, against you and you only have I sinned.

Because whatever you did to whoever you did it to is sin against God. And that's the only way it's going to be resolved is when you're reconciled to God, and you're not going to be happy until you are. You can call it happiness, money can delude you in that regard, but you're not going to be happy until you have no guilt. And Christ has purged our sins and put away our guilt. He bore our sins and our sorrows. and put them away with his precious blood. And so Christ, you might say, is all. You might just say Christ is all, because he is.

And if we could live in the conscious reality of that, life would be a lot more sunny, wouldn't it? And if we could Be conscious of it enough to forget the petty nonsense that we dwell on most of the time. Get over it. Forget about it. Let it go. All the stuff that makes you sad and grieved, look to the Savior. He bore our sorrows. He carried our griefs. And in Him, we're blessed. We're happy. happy, rejoice in the Lord always. And again I say, rejoice. Amen, let's pray.
