We'll turn with me to Joel chapter
2, the passage that Peter read earlier, and our text is verse
32. And it shall come to pass that
whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered,
for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the
Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call. The
world that we live in is the kingdom of Satan. It's so riddled
with corruption and lies, it's so difficult. You just don't
know in these days any news outlet that you can reliably trust,
because they all peddle a set of lies. And why? Because the
king of the kingdom, Satan, the king of this world, the kingdom
of this world, is the father of lies. Who said that? Jesus
himself said that. Satan, he's the father of lies.
He's the author of lies. He's the source of all lies. Because at the root of it was
the lie he first told in the Garden of Eden. Did God say? To disbelieve God, that's the
lie. The biggest lie of all in these
days is that there is no God, or that God doesn't matter, that
there is no absolute morality. It's all relative. You can do
what you want, and diversity is the most important thing.
There is no accountability to God. There is no judgment coming. So live as you like, it doesn't
matter. There is no such thing as divine justice for anybody
to be held accountable to. Why do people believe this so
readily? Why do they accept and embrace this lie of Satan so
readily? Romans 1, 28 gives us the answer. They, people in general, did
not like to retain God in their knowledge. I prefer it that there
is no God. So what did they do? Down the
years, they invented foolish notions. They invented schemes
to disbelieve God, to deny the existence of God. They invented
the idea, and don't worry, it's older than Darwin, but the idea
of evolution. That God didn't create, but that
things put themselves together. And why did they do it? I know
I've told you this before, but it's worth remembering. There
was a very dear, sweet lady who was a biology teacher at the
school I taught at in the 1970s. And I used to talk to her a lot
about evolution and creation, and that we shouldn't teach evolution
as a fact in science lessons. And she wrote to me, because
we were so busy that we used to exchange messages, not by
email, there wasn't one in those days, but by notes in our pigeonholes
in the staff room. And I've told you before, but
I'll say it again. She wrote back to me one day, and she said
this, I hope that evolution is true, because if it isn't, it
means that I am accountable to God, and the thought of that
appalls me. They did not like to retain God
in their knowledge, because they didn't want to be accountable
to God. So they invent silly notions,
like evolution, as if it's science, when it cannot possibly be. Don't
be cowed by the biggest brains in the world, or so they think,
that it's so obvious that life evolved. If you're truly scientific,
there's no way, it's absolutely impossible, it could not possibly
have evolved. They invent notions of reincarnation. They invent notions of annihilation
at death, that your soul just ceases, you just go off into
blackness and that's the end of it, there's nothing more.
They invent notions of human innate goodness which will, if
there is a God, earn favour with him. But it's all lies. Isaiah
knew about this when he wrote in Isaiah 28 and verse 15. He's talking to the hypocrites,
the religious folk in Jerusalem. He said, hear the word of the
Lord, ye scornful men that rule this people, which is in Jerusalem,
because ye have said, we have made a covenant with death, and
with hell are we at agreement. When the overflowing scourge,
that's the judgment, shall pass through, it shall not come to
us, for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have
we hid ourselves. A refuge of lies. That's what
the people of this world believe. They take refuge in the lies
of Satan. But the trumpet of God continues
to sound. It does. Even in these days,
the trumpet of God, you know a trumpet, you can't avoid a
trumpet, can you? It's very, very hard. The hardest
thing is to play a trumpet quietly. The trumpet sounds, the trumpet
of God continues to sound. It says this, Hebrews 9, 27,
it is appointed to man to die once, and then after this, the
judgment. Death is coming. You can't avoid
that, can you? You can't deny it, and after
that, accountability to God. Accountability to God, Almighty
God, the Creator, the Sustainer of all things, the Upholder of
all things, the One who spoke and it was done. How? We don't
know. But in Him is all the power, the One who is morally perfect. Not only is He all-powerful,
but He's morally perfect. Do you hear this sinner? He's
morally perfect. He cannot condone sin. He's absolutely
just. Oh, he'll turn a blind eye to
it. Oh, no, he won't. He cannot. God is strict in justice,
absolutely strict. And yet, though he said all of
these things, look at verse 13 of our chapter, verse 13 of Joel
chapter two, rend your heart, tear your heart, No, don't just
tear up your sackcloth in a show of penitence like the Jews used
to do, the Pharisees. Rend your heart and not your
garments. Turn unto the Lord your God.
Why? Why? He who is just and holy and must
condemn sin, listen, for he is gracious and merciful and slow
to anger and of great kindness and repenteth him of the evil.
That message shines forth in the scriptures, that God who
is holy and a judge and is just, and we who are sinners deserving
his condemnation, yet we read that God is gracious and merciful. My aim this morning, as always,
is not to get you to improve yourselves, as religion does,
but it's to sound the gospel trumpet. It's to sound God's
message of grace. Grace. That which you didn't
need to do. Grace is when you get something
you don't deserve. Mercy is when you don't get something
you do deserve. But grace is when you get something
you don't deserve. You get the favor of God. message
of gospel grace is a message of grace, that there is deliverance. That's what our verse said, verse
32. There is deliverance. Whosoever shall call on the name
shall be delivered. There is deliverance from the
dreadful, eternal condemnation, from the retribution of God,
which we all, by nature as sinners, merit. My first point is the
need for deliverance, the need for it. In this world in which
we live, If you think, so few people think. So few people pause
from their lives of scurrying around here, there and everywhere,
from one physical high to the next one. Very few people stop
to think. What is life about? What am I
here for? What is the end of it? Where
do I go when it ends? Because I see people leaving
this life all of the time. What is it all about? Very few
people think. Well, we need salvation. Salvation
is always needed. You know, I said last time that
we've been reading the Minor Prophets, and all of these Minor
Prophets, if you read them, you know, Hosea right the way through
to Malachi, you read it and it sounds like doom and gloom, because
it's all the sins of the people and the judgment of God against
that sin. Salvation from that sin is always
needed. Since the fall, we have all been
sinners. Since the fall, there has been
disbelief of God. This is the natural heart, disbelief
of God. That is The ultimate wickedness
is to call God a liar, to disbelieve Him, and to surrender. As Adam
surrendered this world, he was God's viceroy over the kingdom
of God in this world, and he surrendered it to the dominion
of Satan in opposition to God. the lie of a utopia without reference
to God's righteousness and justice was peddled. And you know, we
saw it even after the flood came. Nimrod and the Tower of Babel,
it's all trying to create a utopia, a united kingdom of this world,
without any reference to God's righteousness and justice. No,
the day in which we live, there's nothing new. There's nothing
new under the sun, as Ecclesiastes says. Nothing new under the sun.
Sin goes on. Sins of violence, sins of hatred,
sins of selfishness. Is that not at the root of it?
Sins of greed, of untruth, of lust, of lust, of infidelity. Oh, rampant, isn't it? Everywhere,
on all sides. Of sexual deviance against the
created order. It all grows worse and worse. In the latter days, says Paul
to Timothy, perilous times shall come. We're in those times, surely. All growing worse and worse.
Evil acts getting worse and worse. It's not just others that we
consider to be sinners, it's not just, oh isn't it terrible,
aren't they getting terrible? Listen, stop for a moment and
think. It's you and me too. It's all of us by nature. The
seed of all sin is within each and every, oh yes, but I couldn't
possibly do that. Oh yes, you could. Oh yes, I
could. Were it not for the restraint
of God, We could do everything, you know, those shootings in
America, those mindless, evil shootings of young school children. Oh, I couldn't possibly do that.
Were it not for the restraint of God, you could. You could
do anything. But for God's restraint, we're
capable of every sin. All of the sin, all of our sin,
all of my sin and yours, is recorded indelibly. Do you know what indelibly
means? It means you can't rub it out.
It's impossible to rub it out. It's recorded in the annals of
God, in the books of God. Revelation 20 tells us, Revelation
20 and verse 12, where John sees the judgment day. He sees a great
white throne and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth
and heaven fled away, and there was found no place for them.
You know, people say, I'll shake my fist in the face of God and
tell him a few things. You know, that's what People
have said, famous people, revered people in this world, when I
die I'm going to tell God a few things. Oh really? Are you really?
Are you really? You'll flee from that throne.
You will flee from it. You will call for the mountains
to fall on you. And John says, and I saw the dead, small and
great, stand before God. That's all of us. Pointed to
man to die once, and then the judgment. And the books were
opened. Which books are these? There
was another book, which is the Book of Life, but the books,
God's record of sin. And the dead were judged out
of those things which were written in the books according to their
works. Whether it's a metaphorical picture
or not is irrelevant. The reality is that everything
we do is recorded in eternity and we will be judged by the
justice and strict rule of God according to it when we die.
Appointed to die once and then the judgment. There's nothing
that you can hide. You know, law courts, even in
our land in these days, are remarkably effective at exposing the truth.
That process of cross-examination is remarkably effective at getting
to the truth. But God's court of divine justice
is perfect. There is no escape. Sin is compounded. Deception of Satan's little season,
which is what we're living in now, I'm sure, is rampant. The
lies, the corruption, how much this world rests under just impending
judgment. Don't smugly stand back as an
observer, you're in the same dock, in the same court of divine
justice. Your sins will call for your
condemnation. Verse 11 of Joel chapter 2, And
the Lord shall utter his voice before his army, for his camp
is very great, for he is strong that executeth his word. For
the day of the Lord is great and very terrible, and who can
abide it? It's speaking of his just judgment. It's terrible. Peter's people
scoff and people say this isn't going to happen look at 2nd Peter
chapter 3 2nd Peter chapter 3 and verse 3 knowing this first that
there shall come in the last days scoffers." People who say,
ah, don't be ridiculous, it's not going to be like that. Scoffers
walking after their own lusts and saying, where is the promise
of his coming then? You know, you, you believers,
you keep telling us that we need to watch out for God is coming.
He's not coming again. You've been saying it for ages.
They've been saying it for centuries. He's not coming. Since the fathers
fell asleep, since our ancestors died, all things continue as
they were from the beginning of the creation. For of this
they are willingly ignorant, that by the word of God the heavens
were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water,
whereby the world that then was being overflowed with water perished. But the heavens and the earth
which are now by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto
fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men,
just as they scoffed in the days of Noah before the flood. Just
as they scoffed then, just as life carried on, and they said
to Noah, who preached for 120 years, it will never happen.
And one day God took Noah and his family into the ark, and
he shut the door, and the judgment fell. And everything in which
was the breath of life died under the judgment of God. Satan, even
now. Some of you are listening and
Satan, even now, is whispering in your ear, don't be so naive
as to believe all that nonsense. What a load of rubbish. How on
earth can you believe, eh? God's word says it. God's word
is truth. Absolute truth. Sin against God
demands retribution. It demands the payment of the
debt to the justice of God. It demands eternal separation
from God. It demands punishment eternally. A debt that can never be paid
by your suffering is what it demands. And you, as you are
in your native flesh, are guilty, condemned, destined for the pains
of hell. That is the truth. I can hear
some perhaps saying out there, oh, we thought the days of hellfire
and damnation preachers was over, and here's one who is preaching
hellfire and damnation. I'm seeking to preach the truth
of God. That's what I'm seeking to do,
is to preach the truth as it is in God's Word. that God is
a judge, and the day of judgment is coming, and the end of this
world is coming, and you are accountable to that judge. Salvation
from that judgment is always desperately needed. Don't you
see it? You need salvation, you need
deliverance from that judgment, for it's certain, you need it.
But how is it accomplished, and how is it to be had? What must
I do to be saved is my second point. What must I do to be saved? So cried the Philippian jailer
in Acts chapter 16. And Paul, a prisoner in the stocks
with Silas, in that prison in Philippi, when he heard what
the Philippian jailer cried out, what must I do to be saved? Paul
replied, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be
saved, and anybody else in your household who believes. Call
on the name of the Lord. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. In Psalm 50, you see, it's throughout
God's word. It's not just a New Testament
thing. It's throughout God's word. It's the one Holy Spirit
that inspired the entire book from cover to cover. Psalm 50,
verse 15. Call upon me in the day of trouble,
says the Psalmist. David, probably. I haven't looked,
but probably he is. Call upon me in the day of trouble.
I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. This is what
God says by the one he inspired to write, the sweet psalmist
of Israel. Call upon me in the day of trouble. There's a day
of trouble coming. You're in a day of trouble. What
must you do? God says this. God, who is over all, God, your
creator, says, call upon me in the day of trouble, and I will
deliver thee. I will deliver you. And knowing
that you're delivered by me, you shall glorify me. Are you
in a day of trouble? Has it dawned on you that you're
in a day of trouble regarding sin and judgment to come, regarding
mortality, that it's appointed to man to die once and then the
judgment? You are, if God has awakened you to your peril. Has
he? Is there some echo going on within
your soul of the peril that you're in? The world in general is oblivious
to its peril. But has the Holy Spirit made
you a sacred thing? I use that word because a hymn
writer wrote it. A sinner is a sacred thing. The Holy Ghost has made him so.
Why is a sinner a sacred thing? Because it's what the Holy Ghost,
the Holy Spirit, has done for those whom Christ has saved by
his death. He makes them aware of what they
are as sinners. makes them conscious of divine
justice, shows them that justice satisfied in the blood of the
Lord Jesus Christ. You know, there are situations
where people realize that they're going to die, and there's nothing
that can prevent it, and it's an impending doom that is coming
upon them. I used to work, I think some
of you know this, that I used to work on submarine designs,
various aspects of submarines in the 1980s. And there was a
condition which was considered to me the most fatal condition
for a submarine. Submarines have hydroplanes,
forward and backward. These are the things that sort
of tilt and make the submarine go up and down, as well as pumping
air in and pumping air out. a critical, fatal condition was
for the hydraulics which control the forward hydroplanes, if they
went in the down position and they jammed and they couldn't
be put back the other way, there was nothing could be done. And
there was a, well there's been at least one, there's possibly
been more than one, and the crew on the submarine are completely
aware of the fact that they are diving uncontrollably forward
down into the depths. And there is no recovery from
it, because nothing can be done to fix the hydraulics, and there
are minutes, however long it takes, go by, when the when the
irrecoverable outcome is that submarine will be crushed by
the pressure of the water and everybody in an instant will
die. And those minutes go on when they know, is it happening? Is it happening? Do you get the
picture? Do you get the picture? Impending
doom. As sinners accountable to a holy
God, we ought to have something of that feeling of impending
doom if we face the day of judgment bearing responsibility for our
own sins. Just like the crew of that submarine
knowing that they're heading for a terrible end. What they
need and it's impossible to give, but what they need is deliverance
from it, salvation from it. What you need is salvation and
deliverance and rescue from the judgment of God against sin.
Is there any possibility? Look Again, at verse 13, rend
your heart and not your garments, and turn to your God, for He
is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and of great kindness,
and repenteth Him of the evil. And then look at verse 32, it
shall come to pass that whosoever shall call upon the name of the
Lord shall be delivered, for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said. Whosoever, does
that include me? Whosoever, does that include
me? Surely you're a preacher of sovereign
grace and particular redemption. It's only the elect that are
saved, isn't it? Yes, but it doesn't negate the fact that
the Word of God says whosoever. You might be amongst that elect
multitude. So therefore, nothing to stop
you. Whosoever. I love that hymn. You know, the
gospel trumpet sounds. And if free grace, why not for
me? Why not for me? Does it include
me? What qualifications do I need to call upon the name of the
Lord? Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord. Am I qualified
to call upon the name of the Lord? Am I whosoever? That's
all it is. Spurgeon put it this way, God
asks nothing of you, but that you ask everything of Him. Did that sink in? Let me say
it again, God asks nothing from you, but that you ask everything
from Him. That's it, as simple as that.
Nothing in my hand I bring. Just simply call on the name
of the Lord, knowing the peril that you are in, knowing something
of the peril you're in. Call upon Him, on the name of
the Lord. What does that mean? It doesn't
just mean repeating the letters that spell the name. No, it doesn't
mean that. That's charismatic nonsense.
It means believing who God is. Who God is. what he is, the character
of God, the attributes of God, believing that he is, he that
cometh to God, says Hebrews 11 6, he must believe that he is,
and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Call on the character of God, call on the attributes of his
holiness, of his omnipotence, of his accomplishment of redemption
for sin in Jehovah Jesus. That's right, that's the name
I used. Jesus is our Jehovah Jesus. He's our Almighty God
Jesus. He is God become flesh for the
purpose of death. For God, as He is as a spirit,
could not die for the sins of His people. But becoming man,
becoming the same flesh as the children, as Hebrews 2 says,
He could die the death that was due to them, and thereby, as
their substitute, save them from their sins. Look, it says there,
for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance. Where is
it? It's in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem. So we all get on a
plane and go to Jerusalem. No, no, no, no, no, no. Don't take that literally. Mount
Zion and Jerusalem speaks of the temple in Jerusalem in Old
Testament days. And the temple spoke pictured
Christ. The temple pictured God made
a body on earth. The temple pictured the death
of the Lamb of God in the animal sacrifices. The temple pictured
the priesthood, whereby a sinful people have access to a holy
God. The temple was where the day
of atonement was carried out, where the priest took the blood
of an acceptable sacrifice into the Holy of Holies, and only
once a year, and then if he didn't do it in the right way he was
struck dead. Mount Zion and Jerusalem speaks of everything that pictured. It was a blueprint of Christ
and the redemption that he would accomplish. It speaks of redemption
from sin by the blood of Christ. It speaks of atonement, at-one-ment,
between sinful man and a holy God. It speaks of, here's a big
word, propitiation. What does that mean? Propitiation
is the turning away of anger. God is angry with the wicked,
unbelievers, every day, is what the scripture tells us. God is
angry with the wicked every day. But the blood of Christ turns
away the anger of God. It propitiates the anger of God.
And it was in Jerusalem alone. The sins of Jeroboam in the north
of Israel, before they went off and were subsumed into the kingdom
of Assyria, the sins of Jeroboam were this, primarily, that he
made an alternative place than Jerusalem. And it could only
be Jerusalem, because it's only there that, pictures, the Lamb
of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, In His death on the cross, He
fulfilled everything that went on at Mount Zion and in Jerusalem.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Cry out, as Peter did on that
lake when he started. He was walking on the water and
he started to sink. And he cried out, Lord save me.
That's all you need, to call on the name of the Lord. Lord,
save me. You who alone are able. He is able, says Hebrews 7.25. He is able also to save them,
how much? By the skin of their teeth? No,
to the uttermost, those that come to God by him. And if free
grace, why not for me? On the day of Pentecost, Peter
preached it. In Acts chapter 2, verses 16
to 21, he preached this. Just turn over there, Acts chapter
2 verse 16. He quotes the passage that we
just read in Joel chapter 2. This was spoken by the prophet
Joel, it should come to pass, your young men shall dream dreams
and so on and so forth. And he says in verse 21, it shall
come to pass, this is what Peter said, that whosoever shall call
on the name of the Lord shall be saved. And that day, the day
of Pentecost, 3,000 who were guilty of calling for the murder
of the sinless Christ of God when He was crucified. 3,000.
This is just a few days later, 40 days later. 3,000 who were
guilty of calling for the murder of the sinless Christ of God
They called on the name of the Lord, and they were saved. If you call on the only name
given among men whereby we must be saved, that's again what Peter
preached in Acts 4 verse 12, then you shall be saved. Not
may be saved, you shall be delivered from your just condemnation.
There's no point calling on anyone else. There's no point calling
on idols. Even idols, and there's an awful
lot of them, masquerading as Christ. Did not Christ himself? Read the latter chapters of Matthew.
Christ himself said, watch out in those latter days. He said,
they'll come here, there, and everywhere, saying, here is Christ,
there is Christ. He said, don't believe them.
Don't believe them. There are false Christs all around.
No point calling on idols. Only the true God of Scripture. If the Christ of your religion,
you know, a lot of people say, I worship Christ, I follow Christ.
I imagine the church down the road here says it follows Christ
and lifts up and has pictures of crosses and all sorts of things.
But you know something? It's not the Christ of the Bible.
Compare it. Who is this Christ? Compare it
with this book, the Bible. If your Christ is not the Christ
of the Bible, your Christ is a worthless idol that will not
save you. You know, it's like the Scriptures
again and again say about idols, they have ears but they can't
hear, they have mouths but they can't speak. You follow that
Christ, one of those idolatrous Christs, and when you come to
that day, you will hear these dreadful words, depart from me.
You who do evil, I never knew you. No, today, as the book says,
Hebrews 3.15, today if you will hear his voice, harden not your
hearts in unbelief. Call on the name of the Lord. Deliverance may be had for the
asking. Just call, call. Seek the Lord while he may be
found. Call while he is near. That's what it says. To whom
is the promise given? To whom is it given? whosoever
shall call, whosoever shall call. Those who have been brought to
see their eternal danger in some measure, to see deliverance accomplished
by Christ's death, to see, you know, in Romans 8, it says, if
I know that my Deliverance from sin, the penalty for my sin,
has been paid by the death of Christ. Then when Satan, the
accuser of the brethren, comes and says, I'm not fit to be in
heaven, who shall bring any charge to God's elect? It is Christ
that has died. When I see deliverance accomplished
by Christ's death, When I know that the Holy Spirit has revealed
to me that my sin debt was paid by Christ so that nothing can
bar me from God's kingdom, nothing can keep me out of God's kingdom,
it would not be just on the part of God if He's punished Christ
and paid the debt for my sin in the blood of His Son, then
to require anything more from me. That would not be just. And
God is a God of justice. No. It's not the self-righteous
that find favour with God, but sinners that find favour with
God. Let the wicked forsake his way. Let the one who knows what he
is by nature forsake his way. Those who come empty-handed,
devoid of supposed credentials, and come now, not when good feelings
of sufficient repentance have arrived in your soul, no, come
now, now, today is the day of salvation. Come empty-handed,
nothing in my hand I bring, simply to thy cross I cling. Again,
I've told you many times of a very sad old lady telling me that
she was working so hard because she didn't want to go into the
presence of the Lord empty-handed. Oh, I want to go into the presence
of the Lord empty-handed, with nothing of my own, for He has
done all. And the blessing of the promise
is this. you experience and you live in the good of that deliverance
now. In this world of Satan's two
beasts, you know, the beast from the sea and the beast from the
earth, the world in which we live, the kingdoms of this world
rising up together in union, the technology and the wizardry
that there is all around in Revelation chapter 13, in his little season,
there is a little season before the end, Revelation 20 tells
us that, but now in this place, look at it. Revelation chapter
13, just turn over there just for a moment. Revelation 13. in this terrible world that is
frightening to read, you know, inability to trade in this world
if you don't have the mark of the beast. If you're a Christian,
you don't have the mark of the beast, and you're increasingly,
you wonder why have you got seemingly so few friends? Because when
it comes down to it, you don't have the mark of the beast in
your head. And so that seems like a dreadful
situation to be in, but look, In chapter 14 verse 1, I looked,
and lo, a lamb stood on Mount Zion, and with him an hundred
and forty-four thousand, having his father's name written on
their foreheads. I believe that's on earth. Not
in heaven, because, verse 2, I heard a voice from heaven.
When he's there watching that Mount Zion and the 144,000 with
the Lamb, he hears a voice from heaven. He's on earth. In this
wicked kingdom of Satan, Christ has his church, and he's 144,000
here on earth with him. What a blessing that is to know
that. In this little season of Satan's unrestrained deception,
we stand on Mount Zion with the Lamb in this world with the rest
of his 144K. Symbolical, I know, in this world. So given that, isn't it shocking
that there is such unbelief, that there is such great deception,
How vast the numbers who will not believe such gracious deliverance! How vast that multitude who go
headlong to the destiny of this sinful world. Jesus said, the
way is plain to heaven, but few find it. Few find it. It is,
as Joel says in the end of that verse 32, the remnant whom the
Lord shall call. It's the remnant whom the Lord
shall call. It's the little flock that he
shall call. The rest, Make a conscious choice of hell rather than heaven. As Jesus said, Jesus said this
to them in John chapter 5 verse 40. He said this, and this applies
to the majority. You will not come to me that
you might have life, and they won't. But have you heard anything?
Have you heard the Holy Spirit convincing you of your sin, of
the justice of God? Will you drift with that vast
multitude on that broad way that leads to destruction? Or will
you determine to seek the Lord while He may be found, to call
on Him for deliverance, to get on that narrow way that leads
to life? Amen.
