I've entitled the message for
this morning, Cain and Seth. Cain and Seth. Now, II Timothy 3.16 tells us
that all scripture is given by inspiration of God. And this is true of this scripture.
And we do ourselves a great disservice if we thoughtlessly read over
this passage of scripture. Now, you'll remember if you're
here last week, Cain and Abel, the two representative men, this
morning we're going to consider Cain and Seth. Now, look back in verse 16 of
chapter four. And Cain went out from the presence
of the Lord. It doesn't say he was cast out,
although perhaps he was, but it says he went out. He did not
want to be in the presence of the Lord. And he left the presence
of the Lord. I think of what David said, cast
me not away from my presence, O Lord. Well, Cain didn't care
anything about that. And what I was thinking of is
if an unbeliever could be brought into the divine presence, they'd
want to leave. They'd want to leave. They would
not want to be in his presence. Verse 17, and Cain knew his wife. Now the question that's asked
most about this passage of scriptures, where'd Cain get his wife? I
don't know. That's a stupid question, really. When we ask that, I've heard
that so many times. Where'd Cain get his wife? Well,
Adam had a lot of descendants, and one of his descendants at
that time. And Cain knew his wife, and she
conceived and bare Enoch. Now remember, these are the descendants
of Cain. the descendants of salvation
by works. And he built, Cain built a city
and called the name of the city after the name of his son Enoch. Now this is the first city we
read of in the scripture. This is the first civilization
we read of in the scripture. Somebody once said, Cain set
off to make the world a better place. When he left God's presence,
he immersed himself in the world. He built a city. This is the
first civilization, as it were, we read of. And he named the
city after his own progeny. He named the city after his own
son. Could this be the birth of humanism? What is humanism? It's the emphasis
on man rather than God. That is what it is. And at this
time, God is shut out in their thinking, and they named this
city, or he named this city after sun, and really humanism began
in the Garden of Eden, when Satan seek to make them think the plot
of humanity can be better if you eat the fruit. Verse 18, and then Enoch was
born, and he now names the different descendants of Enoch, of Cain. Unto Enoch the son of Cain was
born Irad, and Irad begat Mahujael, and Mahujael begat Methusel,
and Methusel begat Lamech. And Lamech took unto him two
wives. Here we have the first example
of polygamy. First polygamous was him. He
had no regard to what God said about the two shall be one flesh.
He had no regard to that whatsoever. And he took upon himself two
wives. And Lamech took unto him two
wives. The name of the one was Ada, and the name of the other
Zillah. And Adah bare Jabal, he was the
father of such as dwell in tents and such as have cattle. These
were nomadic people. They dwelled in tents. They didn't
have a certain dwelling place. They'd go all over with their
cattle. And then it says in verse 22,
and Zilla, she also bare Tubalacain. And no, I've skipped verse 21. And his brother's name, verse
21, was Jubal. He was the father of such as
handed the harp and the organ. They invented musical instruments.
Somebody said, this is where the arts began with these people. And then Zilla, she also bare
Tubalacain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and
iron. And the sister of Tublacain was
Nameth. Now, this is interesting. Here
we have cattle, nomadic farming, no certain dwelling place. We
have the production of musical instruments, and we have the
production of brass, making stuff, whatever it was they made with
it, manufacturing. But I think this is interesting.
Remember, these are the descendants of Cain. the descendants of salvation
by works. The first thing pointed out about
them, they didn't have a certain dwelling place. They were nomadic. You see, a believer wants to
dwell only in Christ. Where all God sees of me at all
times is His Son, Jesus Christ. I don't want to have anything
to do with Him seeing me anywhere else. Now, Cain knew nothing
of that. And then you think about religion.
What is religion? What do they use most? False
religion, well they use Music and they manufacture idols false
gods and these descendants of Cain. This is what they were.
They were nomads They couldn't dwell in one place they invented
music now music is a good thing, but this is this is the Descendants
of Cain manufacturing is a good thing, but this is the man Cain
I mean look at false religion false gods man-made gods and
Music now, let's go on reading verse 23, and Lamech said unto
his wives, Ada and Zillah, hear my voice, you wives of Lamech. Hearken unto my speech, for I
have slain a man to my wounding. Now he's not saying I've hurt
myself doing that. He's saying he hurt me and I killed him.
That's what that's saying. He hurt me and I killed him.
This is a boast and a young man. who hurt me, I killed him. He's boasting of his own strength
at this time. If Cain be avenged sevenfold,
verse 24, truly Lamech, seven and 70 fold. And he was remembering,
remember God told Cain, if somebody touches you, they're going to
be avenged sevenfold. And he's saying, I'm such, he
had such a high opinion of himself. He said, I'm such, if somebody
touches me, they'll be avenged 70 times seven. Now verse 25, And Adam knew his wife again.
And she bare a son, and his name Seth. For God, said she, has
appointed me another seed, instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. Now
you remember, Genesis chapter four, I've gotten a man from
the Lord. She thought Cain was going to
be the promised seed. Now she thinks Seth is going
to be the promised seed. She's very excited about the
birth of this boy. And Adam knew his wife again,
and she bare a son, and called his name Seth. For God, said
she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain
slew. And to Seth, to him also there
was born a son, and he called his name Enos. And that name means weak, frail
man. Then, began men to call upon
the name of the Lord. If you are a weak, frail man,
you know what you'll do? You will call upon the name of
the Lord. Now, this is the first time this
is mentioned, and this is what believers do. They call upon
the name of the Lord. This is what identifies a believer
from anybody else. There's someone who calls upon
the name of the Lord. Hold your finger there and turn
to 1 Corinthians 1 for a moment. 1 Corinthians 1, verse 1. Paul, called to be an
apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, in Sosthenes
our brother, unto the church of God, which is at Corinth,
to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints,
with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ
our Lord, both theirs and ours. Now, what do the call do? They
call. They call. Now, if I'm called
of God, you know what I'm gonna be doing right now? I'm going
to be calling upon his name. Now, the question I want us to
consider is what in the world does that mean? What does it
mean to call upon the name of the Lord? Now, you and I will
not be saved unless we call upon the name of the Lord. And if
he calls us, if he calls us, I want him to call me, don't
you? I want him to call me by his grace. IF HE CALLS US, THIS
IS WHAT WE WILL DO. WE WILL CALL UPON THE NAME OF
THE LORD. WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE
NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED. NOW SOME HAVE SUGGESTED THAT
THIS IDEA OF CALLING ON THE NAME OF THE LORD means this is when
people distinguish themselves as people who call upon the name
of the Lord. This was the difference between the people of God and
the people of the world. The people of God call upon the
name of the Lord. And it's even been suggested
that this signifies the beginning of public worship. You want to
identify with those who call upon the name of the Lord. But
let's just take it as it's stated. Then began men, to call upon
the name of the Lord. Turn with me to Genesis 12 for
a moment. Verse eight, it's talking about
Abraham. And he removed from thence unto
a mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having
Bethel on the west and Hai on the east. And there he builded
an altar unto the Lord and called upon the name of the Lord. Now, if you call on the name
of the Lord, there's one thing I'm sure of. If I call upon the
name of the Lord, there's one thing I'm sure of. I'm gonna
be aware of my need of a sacrifice to come into his presence. I
can't come on my own. He built that altar, the altar
for sacrifice and called upon the name of the Lord. You can't
separate knowing his name and knowing your need of the blood
of the Lord Jesus Christ to make you acceptable before him. There's
no calling on him without that. Look in chapter 13, verse four.
Abraham, again, he came unto the place of the altar, which
he had made there at the first, and there Abraham called on the
name of the Lord. Abraham wouldn't even call on
his name without this altar of sacrifice. He knew the only way
he could come into his presence is through the altar. Now, what
is the identifying mark of the saints? They call. upon the name
of the Lord. When Peter preaches that great
sermon on the day of Pentecost, he begins with, whosoever shall
call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. David said, they that know thy
name. I have to know what the name
means when I call. It's not just empty language.
They that know thy name will put their trust in thee. In the Old Testament, he's named
El Shaddai, Lord God Almighty. I know him as the omnipotent
God, the God who has the strength to do whatever he's pleased to
do. No one, nothing can stop him. El Elyon, the Most High God. Adonai, Lord. He's the Lord, that means he's
the one whose will is always done. Jehovah Nisi, the Lord,
my banner. Jehovah Raha, the Lord is my
shepherd. Jehovah Sekinu, the Lord, our
righteousness. Do you know him that way? Jehovah Rapha, I am the Lord
that healeth thee. Jehovah Shama, the Lord is there. Jehovah Jireh, the Lord will
provide. And that's not just talking about
material provision. That's talking about everything
I know. This is the Jehovah I know. Everything God requires of me,
he provides for me. I don't provide anything. I am
the Lord that provides. They that know thy name. Now,
turn with me to Exodus chapter 33. Exodus chapter 33, I hope we
can learn something about what it means to call upon the name
of the Lord. I wanna be somebody who calls upon his name. Now
look in verse 18. And he said, I beseech thee,
this is Moses speaking to God. He says, I beseech thee, show
me thy glory. What a request. What a request. And he, God said,
verse 19, I will make all my goodness pass before thee and
I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee and will be
gracious to whom I will be gracious and will show mercy on whom I
will show mercy. And he said, I'm gonna proclaim
my name. I'm gonna show you my goodness. I'm gonna proclaim
my name. Now, what does that mean? We'll look down in verse
five of chapter 34. And the Lord descended in the
cloud and stood with him there and proclaimed the name of the
Lord. Now, the name of the Lord is
the person behind the name. It's not just articulating the
proper names. It's knowing the person behind
the name. Verse six, look what he did.
And the Lord passed by before him and proclaimed, here he is
proclaiming his name, the Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious,
long-suffering and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy,
thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and
that will by no means clear the guilty. visiting the iniquity
of the fathers upon the children and upon the children's children
and to the third and fourth generation. Now, when he proclaims his name,
what does he do? He starts naming his attributes.
He's gracious, he's just, he's merciful, all these different
attributes. He doesn't name every attribute
here, but when he proclaims his name, he proclaims his attributes,
who he is. Now look back to Exodus chapter
three, verse 13. And Moses said unto God, Exodus
chapter three, verse 13. I'm going to have to understand
his name before I'm going to call on it. I'm gonna have to
know what his name means before I'm gonna call on it. That's
why this is so important. If you wanna call on the name
of the Lord, listen up. Verse 13, and Moses said unto
God, behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall
say unto them, the God of your fathers hath sent me, and they
shall say to me, what's his name? What shall I say unto them? And
God said unto Moses, I am that I am. Now this is a name that only
God can take. No man can really, I can say
I was, I want to be, I will be, should be, could be, ought to
be. God says never I was or will be. I am that I am. The Lord Jesus Christ said, if
you believe not that I am, you will die in your sins. Now that's strong language, isn't
it? I am that I am. Now, this is a reference to all
of his attributes that are revealed in the scripture. I am that I
am. This book is given to tell us
who God is, what his character is. Every one of his attributes
are revealed in this book called the Bible. I am holy. I am just. I am merciful. All of God's attributes. I am immutable. I can't change. I am independent. I have no needs. I'm all powerful. All of God's
attributes are revealed in this name. Now let's look what led
Moses to ask this question. Look in verse one of chapter
three. Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro,
his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock
to the backside of the desert and came to the mountain of God,
even to Horeb. And the angel of the Lord, that's
the Lord Jesus Christ. The angel of the Lord appeared
unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. And he
looked, Moses looked upon this bush that was on fire and behold,
the bush burned with fire and the bush was not consumed. Now, what a wonderful, simple,
beautiful picture we're given of the Lord Jesus Christ in this
burning bush that burned with fire and it could not be consumed. That bush that was burning did
not need the energy of the wood to keep it burning. You know
what that means? Utter independence. That describes
only the God of glory. How dependent are you? You need,
I need, we need food, we need water, we need clothing, we need
shelter, we need all kinds of stuff we need. We're just needy
people. GOD HAS NO NEEDS. HE HAS LIFE IN HIMSELF. HE HAS
NO NEED OF ANYTHING ELSE. THIS IS WHO GOD IS. YOU KNOW,
WHEN PEOPLE PRESENT GOD AS, WELL, GOD NEEDS YOU. NO, HE DOESN'T.
NO, HE DOESN'T. YOU NEED HIM. HE DOESN'T NEED
YOU. He's utterly independent. Didn't
need the energy of that wood for the flame to keep burning.
And I love the fact that it couldn't be consumed. That's the perfect
humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ. The wrath of God couldn't even
consume him. He put it away. And the youngest believer has
some grasp of this. And the example I would think
of is the thief on the cross. The thief on the cross knew that
Jesus Christ was God. Don't you fear God? He's not
talking about God the Father there. He knew that one on the
cross is God Himself. And he knew of the perfect humanity
of the Lord Jesus Christ. He said, this man hath done nothing
amiss. So this The great side of the
burning bush is something that every believer knows about the
Lord Jesus Christ. He's independent God. He's the
perfect man who brought the perfect sacrifice. This is who Jesus
Christ is. He's the creator. He's God. He's
independent. He's the man Christ Jesus who
worked out a perfect righteousness. The wrath of God couldn't consume
him. He consumed the wrath and put it away. Now, let's go on
reading verse three. I will now turn aside and see
this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the Lord
saw that he turned aside to see." Now, are you somebody that turns
aside to see? You hear of this one that could
not be consumed. Do you want to turn aside and
see? Do you want to see who he is? You wanna know who he is? Now the Lord was looking at Moses
and he saw how he turned aside to see. I wanna be one of these
people, don't you? I don't wanna just go on in life
and just forget about all this. I wanna turn aside and see. And
God sees that. And Moses said, I'll now turn
aside and see that great side, why the bush is not burnt. And
when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto
him out of the midst of the bush. and said, Moses, Moses. And he
said, here am I. And he said, draw not nigh hither,
put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place wherein thou
standest is holy ground. Now this is the first mention
of holy in the Bible. Take your shoes off. Why? Your feet has something to do
with your walk. What did the seraphims do when
they were flying around the throne? Well, they covered their face.
They couldn't look upon the Lord. And what else did they do? They
covered their feet. Now you can't come into God's
presence without some awareness of your own sinfulness. That's what the feet represent.
And he said, you're in holy ground, take your shoes off your feet.
And just like the seraphims, they covered their feet. They
hadn't even sinned, but they covered their feet because they
knew they would if God didn't restrain them from it. You can't
come into a holy God's presence without some idea of your own
sinfulness. And when people don't see their
own sinfulness, I'm talking about, I'm not talking about somebody
else's sinfulness. I'm talking about your own sinfulness. When
people don't see their own sinfulness, it's because they've never come
into God's presence. They've never really seen who
he is. But let's go on reading. put off thy shoes from off thy
feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Moreover,
he said, he identified himself as the covenant God. I am the
God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and
the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face for he
was afraid to look on God. He was scared to death. And the Lord said, I have surely
seen the affliction of my people, which are in Egypt and have heard
their cry by reason of their taskmasters. For I know their
sorrows and I am come down. to deliver them out of the hand
of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of the land into
a good land and a large and to land flowing with milk and honey
and to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites
and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites. Now therefore
behold the cry of the children of Israel is coming to me and
I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress
them. Come now therefore and I'll send thee unto Pharaoh that
thou mayest bring forth my people of the children of Israel out
of Egypt. And Moses said unto God, Who am I that I should go
into Pharaoh and that I should bring forth the children of Israel
out of Egypt? Now, 40 years before, he thought
he was the man for the job. He thought the children of Israel
would understand that God would, through him, bring them out.
But you remember 40 years before this, he has to flee the country,
and he's been on the backside of the desert. And now that the
Lord is ready to use him, he doesn't think he's fit for the
job. Who am I? I've got no business doing anything
like this. Verse 12, and he said, certainly
I will be with thee. And this shall be a token to
thee when I have sent thee, when thou hast brought forth the people
out of Egypt, you shall serve God upon this mountain. And Moses
said unto God, behold, when I'm coming to the children of Israel,
and shall say unto them, the God of your fathers has sent
me. And they shall say to me, what's his name? What shall I
say unto them? And God said unto Moses, oh,
I love this name. I am that I am. Thou shalt say to the children
of Israel, I am has sent me unto you. I am that I am. Now, implied in this, because
Jehovah saves is in his name, implied in this glorious statement
is I save in the manner which I save. If you want to know who God is,
you'll only know him in the manner which he saves. You and I will
not know Him apart from the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now
let me tell you how God saves. He saves in a way that honors
His sovereignty. He saves whom He will. He saves
in a way that honors His justice. He said, I'll by no means clear
the guilty. If you're guilty, God won't have anything to do
with you. You're gonna have to be justified. He saves in a way
that manifests, honors His grace and His wisdom and His power
and His immutability and His independence. All of God's attributes
are manifested in the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. Every
attribute of God. If you wanna know who God is,
you won't know him apart from the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ.
His isness is seen in the cross. That's why Paul said, God forbid
that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. That's why I said I've determined
not to know anything among you, said Jesus Christ and Him crucified,
because this is the full revelation of who God is. That's what's
in his name. So when I'm calling upon his
name, I'm calling upon the name who is, I'm saying, Lord, save
me by your sovereignty. Save me by your immutability. Save me by your justice. Save
me by your love. Save me by your power. I'm calling
upon his name to save me. And that's when men, when we
read of Seth, he had an anus, then began men to call upon the
name of the Lord. Now, turn with me to Romans 10. Romans 10. Verse 1, Brethren, my heart's desire and
prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved. Paul wanted these people to be
saved and they were not saved. Let's go on reading. He says,
I bear them record that they have a zeal of God. They're very
religious, but not according to knowledge. For they being
ignorant of God's righteousness, And here's what everybody does
who's ignorant of God's righteousness. They go back to establish their
own righteousness. And doing that, they have not
submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. Now you submit yourself to the
righteousness of God when you submit to his righteousness first
in your condemnation. And then you submit to his righteousness
as being your righteousness and salvation. You submit to Christ's
righteousness being the only righteousness you have. Then
he says in verse four, for Christ is the end of the law for righteousness
to everyone that believeth for Moses. Describe it the righteousness,
which is the law, that the man which doeth those things shall
live by them. Now, if you're gonna be saved by the law, you
know what that means? That means you can't sin at all. It means
you gotta keep God's law perfectly in your heart, in your mind,
in your thoughts. That's the righteousness, which
is in the law. Somebody says, I try to keep the law. No, you
don't. No, you don't. That's idle talk, nothing more. All you do, all I do, is break
God's law. You've not told the truth one
time in your whole life. You've not been honest one time
in your life. I'm talking about myself, too. Don't think that
I'm trying to, just to, this is what we are. lawbreakers. If you ever understand what the
law says, you'll know that all you've done is broken it and
dishonored the Lord, even in your thoughts. Verse six, but
the righteousness, which is a faith speaketh on this wise. Say not
in your heart, who shall ascend into heaven? That is to bring
Christ down from above. Don't say in your heart, what
can I do to get him to come down here and do something for me?
Get doing out of your thinking. Just get doing out of your thinking. If I understand the law of God,
I understand there's nothing I can do to please him. If I
understand, get doing out of your thinking. Verse seven, or
who shall descend into the deep? That is to bring Christ again
from the dead. What can I do to make what he did work for
me? What can I do to make his resurrection from the dead apply
to me? Again, quit thinking about doing. Oh, wouldn't that be a blessing
if me and you would just forget doing? Well, ought to. Verse
eight. But what saitheth the word is
nigh thee, even in thy mouth and in thy heart, that is the
word of faith, which we preach, that if thou shalt confess with
thy mouth, the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart,
that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart, man believeth
unto righteousness, And with the mouth confession is made
unto salvation. For the scripture saith, whosoever
believeth on him shall not be ashamed, for there's no difference
between the Jew and the Greek. For the same Lord over all is
rich unto all that, what? Call upon him. Four. Whosoever shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be saved. Now, the first word that
I notice in this verse of scripture is the word whosoever. Whosoever. I'm so thankful for that word.
It doesn't say if one of the elect calls. It doesn't say if
one of the people Christ died for calls. It doesn't say people
who know Christ died for them call. It doesn't say even a sinner. If you know you're a sinner,
well, you know, I think I do, but I don't even know if I know,
I know I know, I don't know enough about that. I'm not even good
at knowing about my sin. But here's the word, given. Whosoever,
I'm one of them. I am a whosoever. I fit into
that demographic. I fit into that group. You use
any other word, and I might be afraid, that might not be me,
but oh, how I love this word, whosoever. Are you a whosoever? Do you fit that description?
Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Now are you a whosoever? This word's for you. This word's
for you, whosoever. Here's the important word in
this verse of scripture. Whosoever shall call on the name
of the Lord. That's the important word. The
name of the Lord. Now you can't call upon somebody
you don't know. You see, here's what faith knows
who he is. The name of the Lord. I'm calling
upon him who is holy, him who is just, him who is sovereign,
him who is gracious, him who is merciful. When I'm calling
upon his name to save me, I'm like God's sovereignty means
his will's always done. He's absolutely sovereign. Lord,
save me as an act of your will. Save me, he said, I'll by no
means clear the guilty. He's just, oh, make a way for
me to be just. Save me in a way that honors
your justice. Save me in a way that honors your grace and your
kindness. All of your attributes, that's the important name. Whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. You know,
Isaiah warned about praying to a God that cannot save. Now, if you've got a God that
can't save you unless you fill in the blank, you've got a God
that can't save, period. The one represented by the name
is the only one who can save you. And let me say this, anything
we hear in preaching and religion that is contrary to any of the
attributes of God is wrong. If you hear something that doesn't
line up with his sovereignty, his immutability, his changelessness,
his holiness, his justice, his love, if you hear anything that
is contrary to any of his attributes, it's wrong. It didn't come from
God. The important word, the easy
word for me to fit into is the whosoever. I'm a whosoever. The
important word is the name of the Lord. And then I love the
easy word, whosoever shall call. What's that mean? Lord, save
me. That's Peter's prayer. Jesus, our son of David, have
mercy on me. Lord, if you will, you can make
me. Lord, help me. You know who he is. You know,
he's the only one who can help you. You're not calling upon
a man. You're calling upon the living
God. You're calling upon him. His name is above every name.
Lord, have mercy on me. Call now for help. Somebody says
I can't do that. Do it. Do it. With the command comes the ability
to obey the command. You'll call. If you see who he
is, you'll call. And if you don't call, it's because
you really don't see who he is. If you see who he is, you will
call upon his name. And then we have this blessed,
blessed assurance, whosoever shall call on the name of the
Lord shall be saved shall it's for sure you see thou shalt call
his name Jesus for he shall save his people from their sins every
single one of them now Then began men to call upon the name of
the Lord. This is what distinguishes a
believer from an unbeliever. This is what distinguishes the
people of God and those who are not his people. This is what
distinguishes those who really know who God is and those who
don't know who he is. They that know him call upon
his name. And here's what you're doing
if you're a believer right now. You're calling on his name. You're
even asking for grace to call on his name. You're asking for
everything to be destroyed that would hinder you and prevent
you from calling on his name. And here's the promise of the
gospel. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall
be saved. You don't get saved, means God
saves you. Salvation is of the Lord. May the Lord give you and I the
grace, even now, to call upon his name. And let me remind you
this also, this is not something you do once. This is the life
of faith, calling upon his name. Let's pray. Lord, we ask in Christ's blessed
name that you would give each one of us the grace to call upon thy name. Lord, deliver us from doing anything
else, but calling upon thy name. Lord, save me. We ask these things in Christ's
name and for his sake. Amen.
