No new problem. David deals with
it right here. And the key to this whole thing
is found in verse 2 and 3. Let's read the first three verses.
Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth, the Supreme
Court justices, the princes, the rulers, the kings, the folks
in command, the people in authority, that's who he's talking about,
and the rulers, rulers of the synagogue, rulers here and there
and yonder. They sect themselves, and they
take counsel together against the Lord, the Lord God, Jehovah
God, and against his son, his anointed. That's who they're
against, against the Lord God. and against his anointing. Now,
in our day, just like back then, kings, rulers, courts, leaders,
even religious leaders in some areas, under the guise, they're
always under a disguise, under the guise of separation of church
and state, they want to protect us and our state and our churches
and keep them separated. some kind of liberty without
God, and some kind of personal rights. And their effort is,
they're determined to get rid of any recognition of God, or
submission to God, or obedience to God. So he says here, they
set themselves. They set themselves. On this
they all agree. They disagree on a thousand other
things, but they agree on this, that we must get rid of God and
his Son. If you turn the Acts forward,
you have an example of this when they crucified the Lord Jesus
Christ and the people that were assembled against him, set against
him. They disagree on a lot of things,
but they agree on this. All the liberals of today, the
liberal media, the liberal politicians, the ACLU, all the organizations,
you can name them, the Supreme Court, all of these people, are
set together, they are joined together. Now watch Acts 4, verse
26. The kings of the earth stood
up, the rulers were gathered together, against the Lord, against
his Christ, against the Lord God, against his Christ. For
the truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed,
Both Herod and Pontius Pilate, they were enemies. They didn't
have anything to do with one another. Herod and Pontius Pilate,
they were competitors for the same office. Rulers. Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles
and the people of Israel. These people had nothing in common
except one thing, they hated Christ. That's the one thing
they had in common. And they all set themselves and
gathered together. But here's the believer's comfort. For to do whatsoever thy hand
and thy counsel determined a long time ago to do. That's the crucifixion
of Christ. It was no accident. Go back and
read the whole Old Testament that prophesies where he would
die, when he would die, for whom he would die, and how he would
die. Everything about, even the piercing of his hands, the plucking
of his beard, all of it's in the Old Testament scriptures.
But they're set. It's not a temporary thing either.
It's not a new thought. It's a permanent, deep-seated
hatred of God, and of his Christ, and of his holiness, and of his
redemptive glory. But our Lord told his disciples
that. He said to his disciples, they hate you. These disciples,
Peter, James, John, all of them, Nathanael, they hate you. But
they hated me before they hated you. It's not a new thing. We're not engaged in a new battle. We're not meeting a new enemy.
The world despises the gospel you preach, but they despised
it a long time before you started preaching it. That's what he
said. All right, go back to Matrix.
They set themselves, now watch this. The kings of the earth
were to set themselves, gather together rulers, take counsel. Counsel together. They go about
this thing, this plan, craftily and with deliberation. And they don't meet this with
haste and strength and meet you face to face and head on and
close your buildings and close your churches and put you in
jail anymore. They don't do it. It's subtle.
It's subtle. They employ their skill and the
art of hypocrisy and cunning. Christ said they're wolves in
sheep's clothing. They come to you as wolves, devouring
wolves, but in sheep's clothing. And they pretend to promote love. What we're promoting here is
personal rights. We're promoting love. We're promoting
unity. We're promoting God's universal
kingdom and mercy to everybody. While they're denying his truth,
his holiness. his laws. And they got this thing so gauged
and subtle that they make you to be the bigot who believe God. In other words, like, they want the churches to recognize
homosexuality. And if you refuse on the basis
of God's word, you don't love people. We love people. You don't love them. In other
words, capital punishment. A man can rape and kill a ten-year-old
girl and go to prison and sentence him to die for that horrible
deed. And all of these folks say, well,
we're supposed to love each other. Thou shalt not kill. And they
march and they hold signs and they make, when we insist that
God's law must be fulfilled and men must their crimes, and they
say, well, you don't love people. God loves people. Then why do
you destroy Sodom? You see, it's a hypocrisy. It's
a subtle, crafty thing. They use these things and when
you stand for truth, who God is, who Christ is, you're a fanatic. You're a bigot. You don't love
people. And they come as wolves in sheep's
clothing. But here's their aim, verse 3. David said, the kings of the
earth, the rulers, they set themselves, they take counsel together against
God, against his anointed. Here's what they're saying. Let's
break their bands asunder. Let's cast away their cords from
us. What does the word bans mean
here? Let's break, they're against
God the Father, they're against his anointed, and the bans are
restraints. God's laws and God's truth are
restraints to keep us from sinning against him, to keep us from
perishing in our sins. They're restraints, they're his
laws, they're the values, they're the old paths. They're bands
or restraint fences that God puts around us. His cords are
halters. They are directions. And this
is what these people are saying, let's throw God's laws away. His restraints, His directions,
His guidelines, guidelines, that's what they are, they're guidelines. and do what we please. Now God
can be the giver, but not the king. God can even be the forgiver. God can be the lover, but he
can't be king. He can't be lord. Jesus Christ
can be a teacher. He can be a healer. He can even
be a savior, but we will not have this man reign over us.
We are not going to bow. We are not going to submit. See, turn to Psalm 24. Let me
show you something here. Psalm 24. They are arrayed against
the Lord and against his anointing. Look at Psalm 24. Now just look
at this carefully a minute. Verse 1. The earth is the Lord's.
To whom does it belong? The Lord. It's his earth. And
the fulness of the world, and they that dwell therein, they're
his. He's the sovereign king. He created it according to his
will, for his pleasure, and for his glory. It's his world, not
ours. He founded it upon the sea. He established it upon the flood. That's God, sovereign, almighty,
who owns and rules and controls all things. And he said, can
I not do with my own what I will? That's what we're enraged about.
His banquets, his courts, his restraints, his guidelines. The
Lord won't have them. He can't be Lord. Now watch the
next line. Who shall ascend unto the hill
of the Lord? That's his throne. And let me tell you something.
The throne of God is a throne of righteousness. The scepter
of his throne is a scepter of righteousness and holiness. When
Isaiah saw him, he said, the seraphim said, holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God of hosts, righteous and holy and pure and truthful
and just. Shall not the judge of the earth
do right? A wrong is not right, and you can't make it right.
And who's going to fellowship with that God? Who's going to
ascend into the hill of the Lord? Who's going to stand there? Who's
going to stand? Who in this congregation or in
this world among all the so-called liberals or moderates or conservatives
or right-wing, whatever, who's going to stand in his presence?
Who's going to send him to his hill? Listen. He either has clean
hands, clean hands, absolutely clean,
pure heart, absolutely pure, who has never lifted up his soul
to vanity in any shape, form, or fashion, never ever been covetous,
or vain, or exaggerated, or lied, never sworn deceitfully, never
made a bad move. That's who's going to stand in
his presence, that's who's going to send him to his hell. Well,
that means none of us are going, unless we have a Redeemer, unless
we have a Savior, unless his anointed, his Son stands for
us. gives us a righteousness that
will admit us to his presence. That's what his son did. His
son reconciled us to God. His son gave us a perfect righteousness. His son died for our sins. He enabled us. And verse 5 says,
that man who's perfect will receive the blessing from the Lord and
righteousness from the God of his salvation. Well, that's only
one man. That's Christ. He's the only
perfect one. But when he did what he did, he did it for some
people who believe on him, who trust him, who receive him, who
bow to him. They're the ones for whom he
did it. In Adam we die, in Christ we're made alive. By one man's
sin entered this world, and death by sin, by Christ Jesus came
a righteousness, God's righteousness. That's what we're talking about
here, God's holiness. And his death and his life made
us perfect in the sight of God. And we can come boldly into the
presence of God now, in Christ. But if we do away with B.C., we don't have anybody to, no
mediator, no intercessor, no high priest, no redeemer. These people are, with their
subtlety, this was Satan's sin. This was Lucifer's sin. Turn
to Isaiah chapter 14. This was Lucifer's sin. He said in Isaiah 14, you know,
our Lord said, I saw him fall from heaven as lightning. In Isaiah 14 verse 12, How art
thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning? He was at
one time son of the morning. How art thou cut down to the
ground, which did weaken the nation? For thou hast said in
thy heart, I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne
above the stars of God. I will sit upon the mount of
the congregation, the sides of the north. I will ascend into
the heights of the clouds. I'll be like the Most High. I'll
be like God. But no, you'll be cast down,
cast out, that's what he said. What's that next verse saying? Yet thou shalt be brought down
to hell to the sides of the pit. That was Adam's sin. Satan whispered
to Eve that God said you may not eat all the trees in the
garden. She said we can eat all of the trees but one. He said
if we eat that tree we'll die. She said you'll not die. You'll not die. You'll be like
God. That was his sin. You'll be like God. You don't
need God. Get away with God. You'll be your own God. She saw
it was good for food and ate it and gave it to her husband,
and both died. That was the sin at Calvary. Look at John 19.
This is the sin at Calvary, John 19. Listen to this. When Pilate, verse 13, John 19,
just a moment. When Pilate therefore heard that
saying, He brought Jesus forth and sat
down in the judgment seat in a place that's called a pavement,
but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. And it was the preparation of
the Passover, about six hours, when he said, Behold your King,
the Lord Jesus Christ. They cried away with him, away
with him. Pilate said, Shall I crucify
your King? They said, We have no King but
Caesar. We have no king. We'll not have
this man running over us, crucified. And that's the thing, they say,
the kings of the earth accept themselves. The rulers of the
earth, they take counsel together against the sovereign God, the
almighty God, God who's before all things. Against his son,
Jesus Christ, whose goings forth have been from everlasting. And
they say, let's break their banks. cast away their cords from us. We do not have this man over
us. Why do the heathen rage? Look
back at verse 1. Why do they rage? Let me ask
you a question. Why do they rage against God
and against Christ? His law would be good for all
of us, wouldn't it? They talk about don't put the
Ten Commandments in the school. I'll tell you, if we clean up
our language, blaspheming God, using his name in vain, they
can't produce a movie now without taking God's name in vain. People
won't come to see it unless they're cursed. That's what a fellow
told me. He said a movie just G rating,
folks won't go see it. You got to curse and swear and
take God's name in vain. It'd be pretty good if folks
didn't commit adultery, wouldn't it? Wouldn't that be a pretty
good rule? Thou shalt not kill. Isn't that a pretty good rule?
Thou shalt not lie, bear false witness. I think that would be
wonderful. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt
not covet. Those are pretty good values,
aren't they? Used to be. But why do we want to put them
in a trash can? I tell you, I want to get rid
of his rule. We want to be our own. We want to be a law unto
ourselves, a rule unto ourselves. We will not have this man reign
over us. Where Christ Jesus is known,
in the homes where Christ is known, is peace. People love
each other. Where Christ is known, where
he is loved, where he is known, where he is worshipped, is peace,
is love. His kindness is forgiveness.
Isn't that right? And where his gospel is preached,
he turned a drunk into a sober man. I've seen that. I saw him
change my dad from a drunk to a sober man. He used to come
in from a fishing trip drunk and beat every one of us, my
mother and my brother and my sister and me. And I saw him
change. And you know who changed him?
The gospel. He can change a cruel man and make him a tender man. He can change a person that is a thief, make
him an honest man. He could do that to some of our
politicians. Those people won't get rid of him. Make some honest
people out of him, tell the truth. And listen, where he's known,
people die with hope. Where he's loved, I've watched
people die. that knew Christ, and they die
with a smile, they die with a hope, they die with eternal life. Why do they rage? Why do they imagine such a vain
thing? I'll tell you this, this thing of putting God out of business
is a hopeless task. Now let me tell you, why don't
you just tackle a tornado while you have it? Why don't you just
hustle down a hurricane? Why don't you just plug up one
of these volcanoes, just plug it up? Might as well do that
as to deny God his right to reign over this earth. Well, it's no new thing. Look
at verse 4. He that sitteth in the heavens,
what's his place? He's in the heavens. He's in
the heavens. Whoever controls the heavens
controls the earth. You can write that down. The
Air Force found that out, didn't they, Cecil? Who controls the
skies controls the ground. Let me read you a scripture here,
Isaiah 40. Did you notice this when we were
reading it the other night? Isaiah 40. Isaiah 40, verse 21.
Have you not known Isaiah 40, verse 21. Have you
not known, have you not heard, has it not been told you from
the beginning, have you not understood from the foundation of the world,
it is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth? That's your
question. When did man discover the world
wasn't flat? 1492? It said right here, a thousand
years before Christ. He sits on the what? the circle
of the earth. The earth is a circle. It rotates. It rounds. He sits
on the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens as a curtain and spreadeth them
out as a tent to dwell in. That's our God. That's our God. And he's alive. He sits in the
heavens. He sits in the heavens. A person who sits is calm and
in total control. The Lord's not pacing. He sits.
He sits on a throne. It's a throne of judgment. It's
a throne of holiness. It's a throne of righteousness.
It's a throne of truth. But thank God in Christ, it's
a throne of grace. And he laughs at these people. Let me tell you a story. Israel was down in Egypt. been there for over 300 years
as slaves in Egypt. And God would deliver them. God
was going to raise up a deliverer. And I'm sure the word got around
that God was going to raise up a deliverer, so Pharaoh decided
to kill all the male children. He told them, said to Midwise,
he told them, Midwise says when these Israelite women come to
their time to deliver, he says to the girl, let it live, for
the boy throw it in the river. He's going to do away with that
deliverer. So what did the Lord do? He that sitteth in the heavens.
He that controls all things. He brought forth his deliverer.
Instead of throwing him in the river, he put him in a basket
in the river. And Pharaoh's daughter, his only
daughter, the pride of his life, came down to the river. And she
got that little Israelite boy. and took him home with her, took
him home with her, right into Pharaoh's house, right into his
palace, God's deliverer of Moses, took him right into Pharaoh's
palace. He put that deliverer in Pharaoh's home, mothered by
his own daughter, cared for by his own nurses, fed by Pharaoh's
own pocketbook, clothed, educated by the best teacher old Pharaoh
could find to teach old Moses. Got all his generals to teach
him how to fight, how to control armies. For 40 years he learned how to
govern and be a king and a ruler and how to fight. And God laughed
while Pharaoh raised his deliverer. And then he turned them on him
and Moses destroyed his whole kingdom. his whole pride, his
army. He washed them down the river.
That's right. That's that fellow that Pharaoh
adopted. I tell you, he's Lord. He's King. And he'll speak, look
at verse 5, he'll speak to them in his wrath. He'll speak in
due time. Their foot will slide in due time. God will speak to
them. He'll vex them in his sore displeasure.
I want to show you a verse of scripture, Deuteronomy 32. Deuteronomy
32, verse 35. Deuteronomy 32, verse 35. God says, to me belongeth vengeance
and recompense, their foot will slide in due time. all these
people who deny his sovereignty, deny his son, deny his gospel,
deny his law, deny his truth, their foot will slide in due
time. For the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that
shall come upon them may hasten. For the Lord shall judge his
people and repent himself for his servants. When he seeth that
their power is gone, there is none shut up or left. He'll deal
with them in his wrath. Now verse 6. Yet, all this being
true, you've heard what we've read up there, shape things of
England. Yet, have I set my king upon
my holy hill of Zion. Yet, there is a kingdom, God's
kingdom, a kingdom of love. a kingdom of mercy, a kingdom
of grace. Yet there is a people, a nation
who loves and worships God. Yet God will be gracious. This is the Father speaking.
I have set my King upon my holy hill of Zion. Now then, what
is Zion? Zion is the church, always referring
to the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. The church which is the
object of his love. Christ said, I'll build my church.
Gates of hell will not prevail against it. The church is the
place of his habitation. He said, where two or three have
met in my name, I'll be in their midst. The church is where God
is worshipped, where the truth is preached, where his son is
believed and exalted. That's the church, that's Zion.
And he said, now listen, I have set my king, he's my king. my
anointing, and I've set him, he's not going to change. God
hath made this same Jesus, whom you crucified, Lord in Christ. I've set him. He hath set him
forth to be a perpetuation. Set him. I did it, God said. I have set my King, my King on
my holy, it's a righteous hill, my holy hill. It's a righteous
people, not their own. an imputed righteousness, an
imparted righteousness. It's the righteousness of God
which Christ accomplished by his obedience in death. I have
sent my King upon my holy hill of Zion, unchangeable. And then Christ speaks, verse
7. Here's the voice of the Messiah.
I will declare the decree. What's the decree? The decree
is the purpose I will declare the purpose of my father. I will
make known his purpose concerning the Messiah. I will make known
his purpose concerning the salvation of his people. Who is so fit
to declare his decree than the one with whom he made it? Who
is so fit to declare this? I'm not fit. But the one whom
the father sent, the one whom he anointed, who said, The Spirit
of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me to
preach the gospel to the poor, to set free the captives, to
give sight to the blind, to heal the brokenhearted. I declare
his decree." What is his decree? It's his covenant. Who is so
proper and able to declare his covenant other than the one with
whom he made that covenant? And the one in whom the blessings
of the covenant dwell. The mercies of a covenant God
dwell in Christ. Let me tell you something. John
Flavel preached a long time ago, a long time ago, and what he
said can't be improved upon. Five things. Number one, everything
God has for a sinner, a human being, is in Christ. That's where
it's vested. Everything God has for a sinner
is in Christ, and it's ours by union with Christ. That's so. We're accepted in the beloved,
we're chosen in Christ, we're redeemed in him. Everything God
has for the sinner is in Christ, and it's ours by union with Christ,
and that union is accomplished by faith. He that believeth on the Son
hath life. He that seeth the Son, and believeth
on him, hath everlasting life, and shall never come into condemnation,"
he's already passed from death unto life, he's in Christ. And
everything God has for the sinners is in Christ, it's as by union
with Christ, it's accomplished by faith, and that faith comes
by hearing the word of God. You can't do away with these
guidelines. You can't go away with this verse-by-verse study
of the Word. Here's where your faith comes, from which it comes. Here is the foundation of faith.
You can't believe anything about God unless it comes from the
Word. How about salvation? You can
believe there is a God by looking at the sun. Somebody made that
sun. By looking at the stars and the clouds and watching the
little birds and seeing things grow. and a watermelon full of
water on a dry ground. That tells me there's a God.
But will he sow sinners? Will he forgive sin? Will he
pardon the iniquities of people? Will he make himself known? Will
he walk with us, talk with us, abide in us? You'll have to go
here to find that out. And they won't do away with that.
They keep changing the way it's written. They keep wording it
so people can understand it without believing it, so people can understand
it without the Spirit of God. Let's go back to the old past.
There's one vocation that's never changed, and that's what I'm
doing right now, preaching. I'm preaching the same thing
Moses preached, Abraham, David, Isaiah, Christ, Peter, James,
and John, Paul. I'm just telling you what they
said. He said, listen, I'll declare
the decree, Christ said, the Lord God said to me, Thou art
my son. He is the true, proper, eternal
son of God in a way that no one else is a son of God. For it
not robbery to be equal with God. He's the exact image of
God. He's the brightness of God's glory. He's the son of God. And
yet he became a man. Thou art my son, this day have
I begotten thee, a body hast thou made me. What is this day? Eternity. I can't answer that.
We cannot fathom the mysteries of the Godhead or the Incarnation.
We can only read and rejoice. With all of this evil, Denying
God, denying the gospel, denying the truth, denying his sovereignty,
denying his son. He said, I have a people, I have
a kingdom. And I set my son, my king, on my holy hill of Zion.
And then Christ said, I'll declare the decree, I'll tell you all
about his purpose and covenant. He said to me, he said to me,
you're my son. Lord, my son, this day have I
begotten thee. Now look at verse 8. Ask of me.
Ask of me. And I'll give thee the heathen
that I inherited. And I'll give thee the uttermost
parts of the earth for your possession. Ask of me. My son, Christ Jesus,
God's sovereign, this is his son. And as soon as he declared
the decree, the purpose, the covenant of his father, he opened
the seals of the book and put them in operation, accomplished
them. And he said, the father said,
ask me. This Messiah is not asking for
a new thing. He's not asking for a different
possession. He's not asking for something
that just happens today. What the Messiah is asking here,
he's claiming and demanding. God says, demand of me. What
is yours by promise? What is yours by incarnation? What is yours by obedience? What
is yours by death? You asked me, and I'll give you
what I promised you, an everlasting covenant of mercy. And I'll give
you every person for whom you came into this world to redeem.
I'll give you everyone for whom you died. I'll give you everyone
for whom you intercede. All that my Father giveth me,
shall come to me. And him that cometh to me out
of no wise cast out." I came down from heaven not to do my
will, but his will. And I did his will. Now he said,
ask me and I'll give you everything you did. God spared not his own
son, shall he not give us freely what he bought? That's what he
said. Ask me! And he did. Turn to John 17.
I'll show you Christ asking right here. John 17. You've got to
turn over there now and see this. I'll give you the heathen out
of every tribe, kindred, nation, tongue unto him. I'll give you
a kingdom covering the uttermost parts of the earth." In John
17, Christ said, here's his prayer. He says, Father, in verse 4,
I've glorified you on the earth, I've finished the work you gave
me to do. Verse 6, I've manifested your name unto the men you gave
me out of the world. Thine they were and you gave
them me. Verse 8, I've given them thy words, which thou gavest
me, and they have received them. Verse 9, I don't pray for the
world, I pray for them. I pray not for the world, I pray
for them. But for them which thou hast given me, they are
thine, all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I'm glorified
in them. That's what I'm asking for, give me what's mine. Isn't
that what he said? Give me what's mine. Mine by
promise, thine by purchase, mine by death. He died that he might
be Lord. Look at verse 24. Father, I will
that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am,
that they may behold my glory. Now, did he fail? What kind of
king would Christ be if his kingdom didn't come to pass? What kind
of shepherd would he be if he lost a sheep? What kind of physician
would he be if the patient died? What kind of bridegroom is Christ
if he forsakes his bride? What kind of atonement did he
give which doesn't atone? Ask of me and I'll give you all
that you purchase. But those other folks, he said,
they don't believe and you'll break them with a rod of iron.
You'll dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Now here's
the preacher speaking. In closing, he says in verse
10, Be wise. Now therefore, ye kings, be instructed. The judges are there. Don't be
foolish. Don't walk with the despisers.
Be wise. Hear the word of the Lord. It's
always wise to be taught of God, isn't it? Be wise. Especially when such instructions
have to do with the salvation of your soul. Be wise, therefore
ye kings, be instructed, serve the Lord with fear. Rejoice with trembling. What
does that mean, serve the Lord with fear? It means serve the
Lord with reverence, remembering who he is, remembering who we
are. Serve the Lord with humility.
Everything God gives is by his grace. It's undeserved, it's
unmerited, it's unearned. You know, if a fellow depends
entirely on someone for everything he eats and wears and everything
he owns, he can be pretty humble, can't he? Totally dependent on
God, serving with, I am what I am by the grace of God. What do you have you didn't receive?
Now if you received it, why would you be proud? So serve the Lord
with humility, with reverence. And then it says, rejoice with
trembling. What does that mean, rejoice
with trembling? Well, I read this today. Trembling, rejoice
with trembling. Fear without joy is torment. Fear without joy, that's torment. But joy without fear, where God's
concerned, is presumption. Joy without fear and all, that's
presumption. But a rejoicing in Christ and
His promises with an awareness of my weakness and His strength,
well, that's a sacred confidence and assurance. And I'll tell
you, it produces a sweet aroma to God. Isn't it? That's a sweet assurance. Rejoicing
in Christ and his promise and his word. He said, I'll never
leave you. I'll never forsake you. So you
can say boldly, Lord's my helper. Boldly. But with trembling and
awe. Kiss the son. I found out something
about that that I hadn't seen before. Thomas Watson. A kiss,
he said, indicates three things. Genuine kiss. Number one, it's
an act of love. You kiss someone because you
love them. Kiss the sun in love. Secondly, you kiss someone when
you're grateful. Our children, you get them a
birthday present or Christmas present, they come over and kiss
you on the cheek. Gratitude. Kiss the son in gratitude. Number
three, a kiss is an act of worship in regard to God. The woman,
the sinner woman that came and anointed his feet, what'd she
do then? Kissed his feet. Kissed his feet. It's not difficult
for me to kiss the son. I love him, I love his word,
I love his holiness. I love his purity. I love his
truth. We live in so much you can't
believe. Don't you love truth? Don't you
love stability? Don't you love sovereignty? Don't
you love Christ? Aren't you grateful? Aren't you
grateful? Don't you worship him? Well,
that's Kiss the Sun. That's what he's talking about.
Then he says in the last line, blessed are all they that put
their trust in him. And it's that two-fold trust,
his sovereign Father and the crucified Son. That's
our hope. I'm not ashamed of that, and
I'm not going to just keep that inside this building either.
tell it to everybody to listen. I believe. No shame. I believe.
