Well, we seem to be a people, I'm talking about humanity, even in the Bible Belt, particularly maybe in the Bible Belt, we seem to be a people who can still be prone to superstition. I don't think anybody in here is carrying around a rabbit's foot or whatever. I hope not. But there are little aspects, little routines, little things we can get into in our day that really reveal we kind of have a superstitious heart. And one of the things that if we're not careful, which I don't know if anybody's struggling with this, but I have seen this. This model prayer that we are walking through, verse by verse, really even slower than that if possible, line by line, phrase by phrase, some can use it as a bit of superstition. I know growing up, we would pray it before ballgames and just kind of recite it word for word. I'm not saying, by the way, I had a meeting this week, had a meeting this week and this, well, I'll just tell you who it was. It was with the Roman Catholic priest, but we had breakfast together and talked about things, talked about obviously our differences, but one of the things he brought up, you know, was this model prayer. And I told him, and I'll tell you, hopefully I'm not, come across the wrong way. I'm not saying you can't pray this prayer as it is given. You can. It's praying scripture. To pray the prayer as it is given, that's praying scripture. Amen. But what I've sought to teach us in this series is that Jesus is not giving us this model prayer primarily so we take it and use it as something we just verbatim say when we're having a bad day or something like that. He's teaching us here how to pray. and the priorities of our prayer, the focus of our prayer. And we'll see that as we get on with the rest of the petitions. Tonight, we're on the first petition, still, which we were last week, on hallowed be thy name. And what I'm trying to help us understand is when Jesus says that we ought to pray, the first petition we ask, hallowed be thy name, he's teaching us some things. We saw that last week and we'll carry that on this week. So, hallowed be thy name. We'll consider three more points. I told you I had four points. Last week we covered one, tonight three. So would you stand with me as we honor the reading of God's Word? And I'm just going to, I'll go ahead and read the whole prayer. It's a command in verse 9. Pray then like this. Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Forgive us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Let's pray. Father, we thank You for Your Word. Lord, would You help me tonight? I need Your grace. Holy Spirit, I need You to help me to preach and to worship, even as I preach, to extol the excellencies of Christ and exalt in His name. We pray for our church, oh God, would you help us to be the church you would have us to be? No matter the cost, may we not seek to be hip or cool or have a fad or whatever the case may be, may we just continually go back to the scripture and say we want to align ourselves with the Bible. Lord, help us to be better men and women of prayer, myself included. Help us to understand how it is we pray and who we are praying to. We pray, oh God, as the first petition teaches us, that your name would be hallowed among us. Your name would be hallowed in our hearts, in our thoughts, in our actions. Lord, when we make a decision as a church, or when we worship as a church, or whatever the case may be, whatever it is we're doing, we pray that we'd be able to sign this off at the end, that his hallowed be thy name. We pray, oh God, that we would take your name seriously, your attributes, your actions, all the things that you do, all that you are, would be set apart in our hearts and minds. Lord, I think about this time of year and the days are shorter and the nights are longer, and it's really symbolic of the world we live in and the darkness therein. We pray, oh God, that you would help us to shine as lights in this dark world, not just this time of year, but throughout the year. Help us to show people hope. The song that we sang, what a hope there is because Jesus Christ has come and accomplished. Lord, let us be heralders of hope to this dark land. Help us to hold the line and not compromise, and we pray it in Jesus' name, amen. You may be seated. Hallowed be thy name. It's the first petition in this prayer. Our catechism addresses it in question 108. The Baptist catechism asks, what do we pray for in the first petition? Answer, in the first petition, which is hallowed be thy name, we pray that God would enable us and others to glorify him in all that whereby he makes himself known and that he would dispose all things to his own glory. So when you pray hallowed be thy name, This is what you're praying. That all things, that God would enable us and others to glorify Him in all that whereby He makes Himself known, and that He would dispose all things to His own glory. So last week we said that means adoration, not admiration. And what I meant there is we don't just admire God like you look at a frog under a microscope and say, wow, that's really neat. But we give our lives to His cause. We give our lives for His glory. We seek His glory in all things. We love Him. Okay, review. Now, three points tonight. So first, it means adoration, not admiration. That was last week. Three points tonight. Secondly, what does it mean to hallow God's name? Secondly, you King James readers will like this one. It means faith, not frowardness. Faith, not frowardness. Not frowardness. It's a real word. It's a King James word. If you read your King James Bibles, expect maybe Pastor Jacob, Brother Charles. It's used a few times in the Old Testament and the New Testament. Let me give you two Old Testament verses. Psalm 18, 26. With the pure, thou will show thyself pure. And with the froward, thou will show thyself froward. Proverbs 17, 20. He that hath a froward heart findeth no good, and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief. Froward, in both of those verses, is translating a Hebrew word that means to twist, really the idea is being contrary. For the person, not for God, because God can't sin. So for the person, it has the idea of living contrary to the will of God. Crookedness. Twisting. What we're saying, what does it mean to hallow God's name? Faith, not frowardness. So I'm making a very simple point. Forget all the big words. I saw somebody with red hair in the front row. I'm not going to name any names. It's on this side. I've got redheads all over the place. Snapped that neck when I said frowardness. So forget all the big names. Forget it. Okay? I'm being too cute. Faith not frowniness. What do I mean by this? Trust Christ. That's what I mean. Thomas Watson said this, Faith in a mediator does more honor and sanctifies God's name more than martyrdom or the most sublime acts of obedience. And I'm going to add the opposite. To distrust Christ as mediator is the greatest dishonor you can do to God's name. Okay, what am I saying? You want to hallow God's name? You want God's name to be hallowed? You place your faith in God's Son. First and foremost, you trust Christ. You believe His Gospel. You understand the songs we sang tonight, Come Thou Long Expected Jesus, and it came upon a midnight clear. You understand the Gospel. You understand that before this world was created, God had a plan. God had a plan to save His people in Christ, that from the mass of fallen humanity, God chose His people out of undeserving sinners. that He enacted this plan in time, that even the fall of man was not separated from God's plan, but that was even falling under His divine decree, though He Himself is always without sin. You understand that from ages past, that each book of the Old Testament is getting us and pointing us and showing us a more clear picture of Christ. Now, we don't see the fullness of it yet until we get to the New Testament, but it's there. The Gospel is there. The hope of the nations is there. It's continuing to point us to Jesus Christ. And when we get to the New Testament, this is what's happening. Jesus has come. He is the Son of God. He is God in the flesh. He is Emmanuel. He is God with us. He is born of the Virgin Mary, just like Genesis says, that He is going to be the seed of the woman. That's strange language, but here He is, and that's what it means. The seed of the woman has come. Truly God and truly man, He has fulfilled all righteousness, obedient to the law of God in every way. He has completed all the things the Old Testament said, all the prophecies, He has fulfilled. He is the reason and the point of the Scriptures to focus. And He goes to the cross, and I can't say this strongly enough, that on the cross as Jesus died, the wrath of God was satisfied. God poured out his indignation upon sinners in Christ. You say, well, I don't like to think about God as angry. Okay, we're a Sunday night crowd, you'd be okay with me saying it this way. I don't care. I wanna be nice, you guys know I'm gonna be nice and patient, but I just say it from the pulpit, I don't care what you like to think about God. That doesn't matter, right? The great theologian, Dwayne the Rock Johnson, said it this way, it doesn't matter what you think. So, you like to think about God this way or that way, friends, we have to have a biblically informed understanding of who God is. And God, the Scriptures say, is angry with the wicked every day. Well, how could I ever walk with a God who is angry with the wicked every day? Answer, the mediator Jesus Christ. Jesus has suffered the righteous indignation for sinners in His death on Calvary. Then He died and He rose again from the dead. And my point is simply this. How did I get the gospel from the Lord's Prayer? It's very simple. There is no way to hallow God's name apart from faith in Christ. You understand? If you're doing anything in your life tonight trying to hallow God's name, but you do not have faith in Christ. In this gospel that you heard, you are not hallowing His name. All other efforts are in vain without Christ. Children, let me speak to you for just a minute. I love the children. I love the sounds. Let me just speak to you for just a minute, because this is a temptation. It's a temptation that you're here with your parents, right? And you're saying, well, you know, God must be pleased with me. I'm following my parents. I'm here at church, right? I'm singing, and I do the Scripture memory. And I know these things, and so, therefore, me and God, we're fine. But listen to me, children, just listen to me. What is necessary for you is not your parents' faith. What is necessary for you is trusting Christ. Your little heart, trusting Jesus Christ. You want to hallow God's name? I hope you do. It starts right here. Faith, not frowardness. not stubbornness, not resistance, not twistedness, it's Christ. It's Christ. And even tonight, to the children, but not just to the children, to the adults, you're invited even tonight to trust Christ more than invited and commanded by the triune God, repent and believe the gospel. Remember our catechism question from this morning, number 61. What is the reason annexed to the third commandment? Answer. The reason annexed to the third commandment is that however the breakers of this commandment may escape punishment from men, yet the Lord our God will not suffer them to escape His righteous judgment. Here's the reality. Those who dishonor the name of God will not escape His righteous judgment. There's nothing that you can do that more dishonors God's name than to blatantly close down, harden your heart, and resist Christ. Trust Him. Trust Him. Rest in His finished work. Do not have a froward, twisted, defiant heart. Put your faith in Christ, number two. Faith, not frowardness. Secondly, what does it mean to hallow God's name? Holiness, not hypocrisy. So Jesus teaches his people to pray, hallowed being your name. First and foremost, we hallow God's name by trusting his son. But then as we read the Sermon on the Mount, we understand something else. This life of faith is not a life of lawlessness. It is a life of holiness. It is a life that seeks obedience to the will of God. We cannot be afraid. A gospel-centered church cannot be afraid to talk about obedience, because it's a reality. So what we call gospel obedience or the old language that they used to use, evangelical obedience. So it's helpful here to distinguish between law and gospel. So listen very carefully. In the broadest sense, the law comes down and says this, do this and you will live. Keep the commandments, keep them perfectly, keep them perpetually, and life is yours. What is the problem with that? Like, if someone comes to you and says, you know what we need to do to get to heaven? You just need to love people, we just need to be kind, we just need to be nice people. Okay, here's the problem with that. That's law. That's law. That comes down to you and it says, you do these things and God will reward you. What's the problem with that? The problem is not with the law. Is it wrong to be nice? Well, maybe sometimes, you know, depending on the situation. But is it wrong to love your neighbor? No. The problem is not with the law. The problem is what? With us. We cannot and will not do this. And so the law demands, because of our transgression of it, it demands justice. It demands judgment. That's the law. This is why we need the gospel. So Herman Bavinck puts it this way. In the law, one's own perfect, adequate righteousness is required. In the gospel, a perfect and adequate righteousness is granted by God through grace in Christ. So listen, here's the law's use in our justification. Only to expose our sin. That's it. Jesus kept that law in order that we might be justified in God's sight, having, our confession says, His active and passive obedience credited to us, imputed to our account. Hear me clearly, because you're going to hear some law, but you need to understand this first and foremost. You cannot use the law in any sense to be justified. Galatians 2.16, we know that a person is not justified by works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ. Justification is by grace alone, through faith alone and Christ alone. You're trying to have the law, you're trying to say, well, I'm going to love my neighbor. I'm doing good enough for God to accept me. No, you're not. It's only Christ. You must rest in His finished work. But as Christians, We are not those who eliminate the law. We're not antinomianism, that comes from two words, anti, you know, against, namos, it's a Greek word for law, so an antinomianism, antinomian is someone who's against the law. That's not us. We're not under the law as a covenant of works, but God's law is a rule for our obedience in Christ. Here's a beautiful poem by Ralph Erskine. A rigid master was the law, demanding brick, denying straw. But when the gospel tongue it sings, it bids me fly and gives me wings. So the law comes to us and says, do this and live. But the gospel comes to us and says, it is finished. Now live. And because you have life, there is a standard, there is a way in which you will desire to live. So, Joel Beeky puts it this way, biblical spirituality is centered on union with Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit and directed by the law of God. Christ's perfect obedience is my only hope for right standing with God. And now that His perfect obedience is applied to my account by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, that never changes. I'm not justified more later. There's nothing I can do. Not a single thing you can do or that you would want to do. You'd only mess it up. You can't add to your justification. We're not looking for future justification. It's all finished in Christ. The reality is, that now, because the blood of Christ is applied to my account, His righteousness now is applied to my account, I am now free. Free? Yes. I'm not under the law as some taskmaster. I'm not under the law as the law standing over me and saying, do this and you will live. I'm free from that condemnation. Amen. Because I could never keep it. I could never do it. But I'm free now to do what? Submit myself out of love for Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit to seek to align my life to walk in holiness, which holiness is defined by what? You get to define it. I get to define it. No, it's defined by the law of God. Tom Hicks puts it this way. Faithful Christians express their love for Jesus by thinking about how to keep his good law in every circumstance. Now, by law, we don't mean ceremonial law. We don't mean judicial law. These have been fulfilled and abrogated in Christ. By law, we mean God's moral law as summarily contained in the Ten Commandments. And of course, we have the positive laws associated with the new covenant. But let me read from our confession, if you're confused. Hopefully you're not. This is from chapter 19, paragraph 6. True believers are not under the law as a covenant of works to be justified or condemned by it, yet it is very useful to them and to others as a rule of life that informs them of the will of God and their duty. It directs them and obligates them to live according to its precepts. It goes on to say in paragraph 7, These uses of the law are not contrary to the grace of the gospel, but are in sweet harmony with it. For the Spirit of Christ subdues and enables the human will to do freely and cheerfully what the will of God as revealed in the law requires. Do you understand? That was a lot of doctrinal preaching to simply get to this point. Holiness of life hallows God's name. When we pray to God, hallowed be Thy name, and we are not seeking to concentrate our lives according to His revealed will, we are not being holy, we are being hypocrites. That's the reality. To live in legalism, which by the way, legalism doesn't, you'll often think that legalism makes the law harder. It doesn't. Legalism brings the law down, actually. But to live in legalism, that is minimizing the law so that you can keep it, in order to think that you can obligate God to save you or justify you, dishonors the name of God. and condemns the soul. To live in antinomianism, that is to despise God's law as though He does not expect His people to live according to its precepts, is to dishonor God and condemn the soul. But true Christianity upholds the law, seeing it fulfilled in Christ alone, and then as the standard now for the Christian life by which the Holy Spirit enables us to live, even as we fall short, we rest in our union with Christ. So if you pray to the Lord, hallowed be thy name, while forsaking His law, rejecting His precepts, disobeying His Word, what do you call that? You call that hypocrisy. So what am I saying? It's not just our lips, but our life that ought to say, hallowed be thy name. Listen, Providence Baptist Church ought to be such in the community, such around others that they can look at our life and they could say, even if they disagree with us, they'd be able to say, well, they take holiness seriously over there. We ought to conform our lives to what the Word of God says. And we have to take it, okay, this is probably pretty appropriate to our church right now, we have to take it very serious when a professing believer does not do that. That's why we have church discipline. Church discipline is one of the ways we encourage one another to hallow God's name. So if a professing believer refuses to hallow God's name with their lips and with their life, and they are in continual, okay, again, Again, this is so important. What is the standard? It's not Pastor Jacob's law, it's not my law, it's not your law, it's not what the Gospel Coalition says for sure. What is the standard? It's God's law. So if a professing believer lives in continual rejection and unrepentant disobedience to God's law, then it is the duty of the church to put them out of the church and say, you've continued in this stubborn way, you've rejected all overtures of grace and our desire to reconcile, you've rejected those, you've gone your own way, you've rejected us, you've rejected God by all evidences afforded to us, We have to say we do not believe you're a believer. That's what church discipline is. We care about hallowing God's name. Couple more applications and I'll move on in terms of God's name. There are two positive commands that specifically carry the Lord's name on them in the New Testament. In the New Testament, you have the Greek word kurios, which is Lord. It's used two times in the New Testament as an adjective. Only two times. Two times as an adjective. One is in 1 Corinthians 11, when it speaks of the Lord's Supper. So that carries the name of the Lord. I know in the text it says, to the Father hallowed be thy name, but surely you understand there ought to be an application of believers to hallow the name of Christ our Lord as well. So the Lord's Supper carries the Lord's name on it. It's an adjective, kurios, Lord. Lord's Supper. I know it's like a possessive noun in English, but it's an adjective in the Greek. Second time it's used. So it's used twice. First time, 1 Corinthians 11. Second time the word Lord, kurios, is used as an adjective is in Revelation chapter 1. I think it's verse 10. Revelation 1.10. It's used as an adjective there to speak of what? You probably already know, the Lord's Day. So you have the Lord's Supper, and you have the Lord's Day. So here's an application. If we pray, hallowed be God's name, but you treat things that carry His name previously, lightly. You hold them in contempt. Well, you're being a hypocrite. Think about that. Right? When we take the Lord's Supper, you ought to take it with utmost seriousness and preparation and be ready. When you think about the Lord's Day, the Lord owns all the suppers, right? Every meal is God's. That's why we pray, God, thank you for this food. But there's a particular supper that's particularly important to the Lord because it is a picture of the Gospel. Every day is the Lord's. We ought to honor God Monday through Saturday. Every day is His. But there's a particular day, because it points us to the gospel, the resurrection of the Lord, that the Lord calls His day the first day of the week. Another application would be the church. The church is the bride of Christ. So think about this. Like any good bride, the church has taken the name of her husband upon herself. So you want to hallow God's name? Honor the church. To forsake or mistreat the church would dishonor God's name. To pray, hallowed be thy name, while forsaking the church, it would be hypocrisy. So someone will walk around and say, well, we're going to pray this prayer, hallowed be thy name, but we're going to reject the church, we're going to twist the gospel, we're going to twist the church, we're going to make a heart out of the church. That's not honoring God's name. It's dishonoring His name. So adoration, not admiration. Faith, not frowardness. Holiness, not hypocrisy. Finally, to hallow God's name is mission. not maintenance. Mission, not maintenance. A very simple point here. Jesus says, our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Thomas Watson says, we hallow and sanctify God's name by making as many proselytes as we can to him, when by all holy expedient, counsel, prayer, example, we endeavor the salvation of others. You see how this works? If we want to hallow God's name, then we want to see many people bowing the knee to Christ. In this petition, there is eschatological hope. We don't only want to see God's name. So we talked a little inward there for a minute, didn't we? We got a little inward, we talked about our church. Amen. We want to be holy, not hypocritical. Amen, amen. But we don't stop there. We're not just talking about, you know what? We want to see Providence Baptist Church hallow God's name and that's it. No, no. We want to see Providence Baptist Church hallow God's name, but that ain't it. We got more. We got bigger fish to fry, as they say. We got bigger aspirations. We got bigger goals. And it's not merely to just make this church as big as it can be. That's not our goal. Our goal, though, is to see the name of Christ hallowed among Perry County. We're not stopping there, though. I want to see it hallowed in all of Arkansas. But I'm not done. I want to see it hallowed in our great nation, the United States of America. One day maybe we'd print on our money, hallowed be the name of God. But I'm not stopping there. I want to see every tribe and tongue and nation and the whole world hallow the name of God. You understand that? To hallow God's name is mission, not maintenance. By the way, this is more than If we could have the money and put a billboard in town that says Christ is King, I'm not opposed to that. Or God's name is hallowed to here. I'm not opposed to that. That would be amazing. That would be cool. I'd be for that. But you're not gonna accomplish this by that. You're not gonna accomplish this by civil laws. You're certainly not gonna accomplish this by coercion. How are you going to accomplish every person in Perryville, hallowing the name of God. Well, it's only God's work, but it's accomplished by the gospel bearing fruit in the sinner's heart, by the power and efficacy of the Holy Spirit. So here's the thing. Practically, very, very practically, tomorrow, you're out tonight, tomorrow you're at work, tomorrow you're at the store, tomorrow you're talking with a friend. I can't get any more base level practical than this. You've got employees working for you, you're a supervisor, or you're working for a supervisor. You say, okay, I heard last night about God's name being hallowed. Yeah, but how do I carry that into these scenarios? I'll give you an example. Very, very practical. Very, very bottom rung. You share the gospel. You bring Christ. You say, yeah, but maybe they won't accept Christ. Maybe they won't bow the knee. You're right, maybe they won't. I don't know. But you guys know our friend, Pastor Randall Easter, great sermon he preached three and a half years ago here, still echoes in my mind today. You sow nothing, you sow nothing, what? Reap nothing. I plant tomatoes this spring at my house, there's a very real chance they ain't gonna make it. Tomatoes are easy, I get it, but I got no green thumbs, right? It'd be a very long shot if those tomato plants make it. But I can tell you this, if I don't plant tomato plants, there's 100% chance they're not coming up. Same, except a much more serious reality. You don't take the gospel into your workplace, you have 100% chance of not seeing fruit. So if we want God's name to be hallowed, we preach the gospel. We don't just do maintenance, you understand? We don't just come in and out of the church and pray and sing and shake hands and say, oh, it's such a great place. You have a little holy huddle, and we hope people will come in. Look, I love our church. I love how we sing. I love everything about our church. I want to continue to reform according to the word of God. But I'm saying if we're praying, hallowed be God's name, then it compels us to not just stay in here, but to go out to the highways and the hedges and compel them to come in. So think about that. Think about the progression in tonight's sermon. Just think, it's structured this way on purpose. How do we hallow God's name? Well, number one, we have to trust the gospel. Faith, not frowardness. We have to put our faith in the finished work of Christ. It's the only way. But secondly, holiness, not hypocrisy. So we live out, we can't live the Gospel. The Gospel is what Jesus did. So you can't live the Gospel. You can't live what Jesus lived, and the death, He died and rose again. You can't do that. But you can, and are called to, live out what the Gospel has worked in. This is what Paul means in Philippians 2, work out your own salvation in fear and trembling. For it is God who works in you, both the will and the work for His good pleasure. He's saying to the church, you are to live out, you are to live out what the gospel has created. So faith not forwardness, holiness not hypocrisy. And then we must proclaim the gospel to the nations. Mission not maintenance. So here's what I'm arguing tonight. Do you see how we cannot pray this model prayer without the gospel? Do you see how this is not meant to just only, I mean, yes, you can say it, but it's not merely meant to just be spouted verbatim without any thought or heart. It's actually meant to teach us. To teach us. And I would make a great argument here, I hope I have made a great argument here, is that if you don't understand the gospel, you can't understand this prayer. Do you see how the hallowedness of God's name is inextricably linked to the completed work of Christ? Maybe I'll just spout a couple applications and I'll pray. Dads, husbands, again, like it or not, I know we kind of live in an age that says equality means There's no responsibility, authority, hierarchy in the home, whatever. Let me say this, dads and husbands, you have a responsibility for the hallowedness of God's name in your home. That may include things like what is watched on the television, the kind of way that your children are allowed to speak to their mother, but it certainly also includes you gathering your family around, you praying with them, You're pointing them to the scripture, you're sharing the gospel with them. There's a responsibility here, dads, for us to see God's name hallowed in our homes. You say, well, I've messed up. I failed. What'd I do? I just go out here beating up. You're just trying to beat me up. No, didn't you hear the gospel tonight? You know, one of the sins that Jesus Christ died for is your neglect of your fatherly duties in the home. So it's forgiven in Christ. But you say, what does that mean? I just sinned so grace may abound? Well, what Paul say, by no means. You go back to Christ, you repent, and you rest in him. And then you lead. Ladies, you're a partner with your husband to help make sure that God's name is hallowed in the home. When he's not there, you are the sole authority over your children. You have a responsibility to hallow God's name. Even in the way that you submit and respect your husband, submit to and respect your husband, shows forth a picture of whether or not you hallow God's name. Husbands, it's true for you, the way that you lead your wife. And wives, it's a way for you, the way that you follow your husband. This isn't just something that we bring into the church and we just talk about, okay, hallow God's name, all right, let's go. No, we take this to the home. and then we bring it into the world tomorrow. I don't know about you, but I'm not playing games. I'm really serious. I think God can save people in this community. I think it doesn't have to be the way that it's been. I think that we can see people truly Saved by the sovereign grace of God. But I'm just telling you. It's all God, but he works through means, and one of the means he works through is a holy people. Let us take these things seriously as we pray and sing one final song. Father, hallowed be thy name. I pray it's not just something we would say or have these little Christian lingo thoughts. but we truly apply this to our hearts tonight and we know that we're dependent on the Holy Spirit to do that. So we pray that you would work tonight as only you can to bring glory to your son. Lord, I didn't mention the teenagers, several teenagers here tonight, praise God. I pray that they would understand that, for example, disrespect to their parents, that's not Halloween your name. going to school tomorrow or on Tuesday and talking about the filth of this world, that's not hallowing your name. God, I pray that they would see that they need Christ and rest in Him, and they would seek to understand that they are called too. If they profess the name of Christ, they are called to live in this holiness with us. Help us, O God, to be the church You'd have us to be, in Jesus' name. Amen. Let's stand.
