[00:00:04] I do not mind saying at all that I love America.
[00:00:14] I'm proud to be an American, not going to let this generation of pseudo scholars shame me.
[00:00:27] America is great.
[00:00:30] And if you can't look at 250 years of America making the world a better place, you've got a problem. It's not America.
[00:00:50] So of course I want to say this is all possible because some men and women denied themselves and kept us free.
[00:01:07] And they're worth commemorating and they're worth celebrating for those who served.
[00:01:25] Our dear Heavenly Father.
[00:01:29] I have, I have no scruples about praying. God bless America.
[00:01:39] God bless those who have denied themselves to make it possible that we live in such a beautiful place. And I pray that your blessing would rest upon them.
[00:01:53] I pray we would never take for granted that we are one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
[00:02:05] I pray this morning that I could speak the truth in a way that is persuasive and enriching.
[00:02:11] I pray that Christ would be honored and our souls would be nurtured.
[00:02:16] I pray that we could go home saying it was good to be in the house of the Lord.
[00:02:20] In Christ's name, amen.
[00:02:25] After Jesus was born, Mary and Joseph lived a healthy married life.
[00:02:34] And in fact, we know that they had four sons.
[00:02:39] The Gospels tell us very plainly.
[00:02:42] They had four sons, James, Joseph, Simon and Jude.
[00:02:52] And they also had daughters. Lady. I'm sorry. Ladies, I'm sorry. The gospelers didn't tell us their names, but they had, they had a healthy family relationship.
[00:03:04] Now, the church has taught this myth that Mary was a perpetual virgin, but there's not one.
[00:03:10] There's nothing in the New Testament that says that this is just the opposite. She lived a healthy life with a good family.
[00:03:18] All right, two of these half brothers of Jesus, they became pastors.
[00:03:27] James became the head pastor of the church in Jerusalem. And you can read about him in the book of Acts. And he wrote the book of James.
[00:03:38] That's the half brother of Jesus, his other brother, Jude.
[00:03:45] He became a pastor. And I. What he wrote is so small, I can't call it a book. It's three pages, 25 verses.
[00:03:59] And when he wrote, this is very important.
[00:04:07] 666 AD, or about 35 years after Jesus rose from the dead, the Israelite nation rebelled against the Romans.
[00:04:21] The Romans captured Israel and, and they held it as a client state.
[00:04:31] And the Israelites didn't like that. And in 66, they revolted.
[00:04:38] They killed a bunch of Roman soldiers and they brought the fury of Rome on themselves.
[00:04:46] And from 66 to 70, they, the Roman army started in Galilee and progressively fought its way south to Jerusalem.
[00:04:57] You can read about this in Josephus.
[00:05:08] So chaos was everywhere in those four years.
[00:05:14] You got the Roman army attacking systematically. People are being killed, people are having their farms confiscated. It's just absolute chaos.
[00:05:27] And in that chaos, Jude, the brother of Jesus, writes these three pages.
[00:05:39] I was doing some work recently and I discovered that in 43 years I've never preached a sermon on Jude.
[00:05:50] So you're getting it today.
[00:05:54] The people who skip church, it's on them.
[00:05:59] Ah, Jude tells us who he wrote the book to.
[00:06:05] He says to those who are called beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ, if the Holy Spirit has called you and you sensed God calling your soul, if you are beloved by God and if you are being kept for Jesus Christ, this book is for you.
[00:06:36] He starts out by saying, may mercy, peace and love be multiplied.
[00:06:44] Let's look at each one of this. It seems like we can't escape the word mercy. Every verse, every sermon I preach, somehow or another has the word mercy in it.
[00:06:56] But just let me quickly remind you, mercy means, ah, God's comfort for our misery.
[00:07:08] Listen what Jude said. The world around you is chaotic. You don't know what to expect. You don't know where the Romans are going to show up.
[00:07:18] But in all that chaos, I'm praying that the mercy of God would increase to the level of the need of your misery.
[00:07:34] If your misery goes up, God's mercy goes up with it.
[00:07:39] He increases his mercy to meet the level of our misery.
[00:07:45] Then the second thing he says is peace.
[00:07:49] Can you understand when everywhere you look there is conflict and fighting?
[00:07:58] The Roman army is marching, people you know have been killed, farms have been burned and all you see around you is, is a chaos?
[00:08:10] For Jude to say there is a peace in Christ that is able to increase to the level of the chaos around you. Because there is chaos around you, there can still be peace within you.
[00:08:28] And then the third thing he says is, I know there's violence everywhere.
[00:08:35] I know there's anger and resentment everywhere, there's plots and schemes everywhere.
[00:08:43] But I'm praying that in all of this you would have an inner sense that the love of God for you is increasing.
[00:08:52] Church.
[00:08:54] We don't live in the chaos that James lived in, but we live in a pretty chaotic place.
[00:09:02] I mean, you can't watch the news and not know the chaos in this chaotic world.
[00:09:12] Jude says, let me encourage you, there is mercy, there is peace and there is love in Jesus Christ.
[00:09:26] And it's everything you need to live a beautiful inner life.
[00:09:35] We cannot control our external life, but we can control our internal life.
[00:09:40] Especially if we're seeking mercy, peace and love from Jesus Christ.
[00:09:48] All right, now Jude gives us the warning. He said, I'm writing this book to warn you.
[00:09:56] People are using these chaotic times to take advantage of the Church.
[00:10:02] And he says in verse four, for certain people have crept in unnoticed.
[00:10:09] The word that gets translated crept in unnoticed. It's only used one time in the Bible and it's actually to.
[00:10:17] It actually means to sneak in like a spy.
[00:10:25] Ah, for certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation.
[00:10:35] What are these people like?
[00:10:39] They are ungodly, they pervert the grace of God, they live self indulgent lives and they deny our only master and Lord Jesus Christ.
[00:10:57] The people that James are warning against are people who have given up on God.
[00:11:05] It's not that they didn't know God, it's that they gave up on Him.
[00:11:13] Ah, brothers and sisters, you mustn't ever give up on God.
[00:11:21] But if you have, if you slept, if you're struggling to believe, I want to tell you this morning, because you give up on him doesn't mean he gives up on you.
[00:11:37] We have a promise. I will never leave you or forsake you.
[00:11:42] Some of you have drifted, you've lost sense of living in the light of Jesus Christ.
[00:11:51] I'm telling you this morning, you have a loving heavenly Father who hasn't given up on you.
[00:12:00] He is the Father of the prodigal son.
[00:12:04] If he sees you coming down the lane, he will rush to you, throw his arms around your neck and hug you.
[00:12:12] He'll say, put a better robe on this person, get a ring on their finger.
[00:12:18] I don't want them going barefoot. Put some sandals on their feet and we're going to fill, kill the fatted calf and we're going to celebrate.
[00:12:26] God celebrates his lost kids coming home.
[00:12:33] The second thing about these people is they've given up on the grace of God.
[00:12:39] The text says they put aside the grace of God.
[00:12:46] What does that mean?
[00:12:48] They are organizing their life in the kind of way that they no longer have an awareness that they need God to treat them better than what they deserve.
[00:13:02] I've known Christians who got themselves in a bad place and they actually believed that God wasn't treating them as good as they deserved.
[00:13:12] They've delivered. They believe they deserved much better than what was happening in their life. And so when they thought of the grace of God, it wasn't appealing to them.
[00:13:24] Brothers and sisters, we need the grace of God.
[00:13:28] The grace of God is, it is at the core of living a healthy Christian life.
[00:13:39] Paul says in all of his letters, grace and peace.
[00:13:45] Paul said, I'm going to write you this letter, but at the very beginning, I'm going to tell you what you need the most. Grace and peace.
[00:13:53] And then he says, these people who used to be religious, they've surrendered to self indulgence.
[00:14:04] When what they want to satisfy themselves competes with what God wants, they always choose what they want. They indulge themselves instead of following in the way of the Lord.
[00:14:22] Church.
[00:14:25] Can we hear a warning there?
[00:14:28] America is pretty self indulgent.
[00:14:33] We, we have developed lifestyles that say very clearly, me first.
[00:14:45] And Jude is saying, this self indulgent lifestyle is an indicator that you have missed.
[00:15:03] You're off the track, you're not living the life that God created you to live. Church.
[00:15:11] We all have to learn to say no to ourselves from time to time.
[00:15:17] Church.
[00:15:19] Let's practice it.
[00:15:20] No, just what I thought. All right, let's practice it.
[00:15:27] Let's do it together.
[00:15:29] No, Because I want something doesn't mean I have to have it.
[00:15:42] I have to learn the skills of Christian living. And one of them is self control.
[00:15:51] And self control says, to self indulgence. Stop, stop.
[00:15:59] Ah.
[00:16:01] All right, I got a lot to say, so I'm going to keep going here. All right?
[00:16:05] And then he says, they are people who no longer trust in the, in the reign and in the lordship of Jesus Christ.
[00:16:22] They look around at the world they're living in and they say, I no longer believe that Christ is running this.
[00:16:31] I no longer believe that God is sovereign.
[00:16:34] I've come to believe that things are out of control and they're random and God is not reigning sovereign. All overall. All right, here's what Jude is saying.
[00:16:52] People who called themselves Christians, who once practiced the Christian life, step by step, little by little, they got off track.
[00:17:06] And they got off track to the very point that they were concluding that Christ is not lord of all church.
[00:17:17] I want all of us, I want all of us to challenge ourselves.
[00:17:23] I want us to say, do I have a healthy relationship with Christ this morning?
[00:17:29] And is there any evidence that I believe that he is the Lord of my life?
[00:17:36] If I had to produce evidence this morning that Jesus is the Lord of my life, what would I show?
[00:17:46] Then Jude said, Verse 5. I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, isn't that a strange phase phrase? I want to remind you of something that I know you know.
[00:18:01] This isn't new.
[00:18:03] I'm just reminding you of something that you. You really know in your heart.
[00:18:11] And he gives four stories from the Old Testament. I want to remind you of these four stories from the Old Testament and what they teach.
[00:18:20] The first one is, do you remember the Exodus?
[00:18:27] We talked about it last week. With a mighty hand, God miraculously brought the slaves of Israel out of Egypt and put them in the Promised Land.
[00:18:38] It was celebrated every Passover.
[00:18:42] Do you remember God rescuing people from Egypt?
[00:18:48] What happened to those people?
[00:18:51] Two of them made it to the Promised Land.
[00:18:55] Everyone else died in the wilderness.
[00:18:59] Why not? Because they didn't start well. They started great.
[00:19:04] The problem is, in the process of going from Egypt to the Promised Land, they lost faith.
[00:19:14] And they didn't enter into the promise because of a lack of faith.
[00:19:20] Church, what does your faith look like this morning?
[00:19:27] What does your faith look like? What are you doing that you wouldn't do if you didn't fully trust in Jesus Christ?
[00:19:37] That's what Jude is asking us. Remember what happened to the people of the Exodus. They started well, but they lost faith and they died in the wilderness.
[00:19:54] If you're my age, I want you to hear this.
[00:19:57] Let's finish well.
[00:19:59] Let's believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Let's serve him with all our hearts. Let's be. Let's. Let's complete this wonderful adventure God has given us.
[00:20:12] If you're young, full of energy, have a nice big full head of hair.
[00:20:20] Ah.
[00:20:23] Wear cool clothes, know the best songs. All right. I want to say to you, a lifetime of faith is a beautiful thing.
[00:20:36] I was 18 once. I have no regrets for living a life of faith. I tell you what I regret. The times I was a pagan and didn't have faith. That's what I regret.
[00:20:49] Young people don't ever flinch at risking it all with Jesus Christ. He's worthy of it.
[00:20:57] They came out of Egypt, but they didn't make it into the Promised Land. Because they refused to put their whole trust in God.
[00:21:08] They perverted grace with unbelief.
[00:21:14] Then he tells a second story.
[00:21:20] Jude has some.
[00:21:27] Odd things in this book. I'm just going to say odd. And this is one of them.
[00:21:31] He says, I want you to remember that once God created the heavens and he filled it with angels.
[00:21:44] But at some point, their pride got the best of them and they followed the Unholy One and rebelled against their Creator in heaven and they lost their original position.
[00:22:05] And now they can only look forward to an eternity in Darkness, chains.
[00:22:17] Ah.
[00:22:19] So he said, nobody started better than the angels.
[00:22:26] They were in heaven.
[00:22:28] They saw Jesus every day.
[00:22:31] Ah.
[00:22:32] They lived the heavenly life.
[00:22:36] Ah, but they didn't finish well.
[00:22:41] And their pride caused them to look at God and say, I don't like the way you're doing this.
[00:22:54] I don't think I'm going to cooperate with you anymore.
[00:23:00] And their end is an eternity in darkness and chains.
[00:23:09] They perverted the grace of God through pride.
[00:23:15] Then he tells one more story. He says, I want you to remember Sodom and Gomorrah.
[00:23:22] I know you know the story.
[00:23:25] God said, I've heard a great cry come up from Sodom and Gomorrah, and I'm going to see if what's happening there.
[00:23:34] And Abraham negotiated with them, and he thought, surely you can find 10 good people in the city.
[00:23:41] God said, if I find 10 decent people inside and Gomorrah, I'll spare it.
[00:23:48] And he went there and found three, maybe four, and he destroyed it.
[00:23:57] Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desires, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. Listen what he says. They perverted grace by living immoral lives.
[00:24:19] Now, I don't. I don't get to mention this very often, but Church, God has an expectation of. For us to live moral lives.
[00:24:31] God has an expectation for us to accept his wisdom on what is, what isn't and isn't, what is and isn't a healthy sex life.
[00:24:46] But please listen to this.
[00:24:47] I hope your morality is based on the teaching of scripture and not some nutcase out there who has all kinds of views about sexuality.
[00:25:03] Church, you can find a kook to support any deviant sex idea that you want to find. They're out there. Do you hear this?
[00:25:15] But Christ says, I got something better for you when, when you do this right, it enriches your life. It makes life beautiful. You have a home. You trust each other. You have a partner. You have a friend. You have a confidant.
[00:25:33] And when you don't do this right, you tear the human heart to shreds.
[00:25:42] Church, can you hear this?
[00:25:46] You can live immorally, but you're going to shred your heart.
[00:25:50] And the great loving God doesn't want that for you.
[00:25:55] Will you listen to this, Church?
[00:26:04] Now he goes from three stories to three men.
[00:26:08] He says, okay, you remember these three stories?
[00:26:12] Ah. And what happened to the people in the stories?
[00:26:15] Well, let me, let me, let me tell you three more he says, do you remember Cain?
[00:26:25] In the book of Genesis, Adam and Eve had two children. Adam, Cain and Abel.
[00:26:31] They had more, but we know Cain and Abel.
[00:26:34] Ah.
[00:26:37] And there came a day when Cain and Abel were old enough to make their own sacrifice to God.
[00:26:47] And when they did, they brought their sacrifices, and God accepted Abel's sacrifice, but didn't accept Cain's sacrifice.
[00:27:01] Okay, it had nothing to do with what they offered. I just don't believe that. I believe it had to do with the heart with which they offered it.
[00:27:09] The sacrifice is secondary to the heart. It always is.
[00:27:14] Cain offered from a heart that was far from God, and Abel offered from a heart that was near to God.
[00:27:27] And God said to Cain, until you get your heart right, the sacrifice doesn't matter.
[00:27:37] Do you hear this?
[00:27:39] Well, it ticked Cane off.
[00:27:44] And one day, Cain and Abel were in the field.
[00:27:47] And Cain had been ruminating and ruminating and ruminating. His resentment had gone up and up.
[00:27:58] And in a moment of murderous rage, he killed his brother, took a hoe, dug a hole, rolled him over in it and covered it up and act like he didn't do anything wrong.
[00:28:18] But God shows up and says, hey, dude, where's Abel?
[00:28:27] Cain has a snarky attitude with God.
[00:28:30] Well, how am I supposed to know? I'm not his babysitter.
[00:28:35] And then the Lord said to Cain, ah, you are at a terribly strategic moment.
[00:28:48] You have a chance to repent, but if you don't, greater evil is crouching at your door and it's going to take control of your life.
[00:29:02] Did Cain repent?
[00:29:05] No, he didn't.
[00:29:08] So the Lord said to Cain, you can't live here anymore.
[00:29:14] And he made him go away from his family.
[00:29:19] He said, the life you're living now is too inconsistent with what I want from my holy people, and you can't live here anymore.
[00:29:35] Ah, what a tragic moment, Church.
[00:29:43] What a tragic moment.
[00:29:46] But there's going to be a Cain moment for the whole universe.
[00:29:51] Because someday God is going to make all things new.
[00:29:56] And in that new heaven and a new earth, there will only be righteousness.
[00:30:02] There will only be peace, joy and love.
[00:30:05] There'll only be the goodness of God. There'll be no more room for Cain.
[00:30:13] Ah.
[00:30:15] And then he said, I want to remind you of Balaam.
[00:30:17] Balaam was a prophet who wanted to use his prophetic office to get rich.
[00:30:24] A king called Bala came and said to him, these. These people are coming in, and I want you to come and curse them, and I'll pay you a fortune to do it.
[00:30:40] So Balam goes with him, and he tried. He looks at the people and he wants to curse them, but the Holy Spirit fills them and he blesses them.
[00:30:52] And the king says, what are you doing? I hired you to curse them.
[00:30:57] If you don't curse them, you're not getting paid. He goes, okay, let me try again.
[00:31:02] So they went to another place, and he looked at them from another point of view and he prayed again and he wanted to curse them, but he blessed them.
[00:31:12] And now Balak is going, what is wrong with you?
[00:31:18] If you can't curse him, don't bless them.
[00:31:22] He goes, one. Just let me try one more time, please. I think I can get this.
[00:31:27] Ah.
[00:31:28] And again he blessed them, and Baylock wouldn't pay off.
[00:31:34] I wish the story ended there. It didn't.
[00:31:38] Balaam said, I can't curse them, but I can tell you how to get God's wrath against them.
[00:31:48] Will you pay for that?
[00:31:53] Let's see, what do you got?
[00:31:56] He said, if you take one of your idols and you get the prettiest women in your country, and you invite the Israelite men to come and sacrifice to this altar and to wickedly spend time with these ladies, the curse of God will fall on them.
[00:32:32] And Balak said, let's give it a try.
[00:32:36] Well, sure enough, they bring the idol out, they make the sacrifice, the girls come out, men do the idiot thing, and the curse of God falls on them and a whole bunch of them die. And Balaam did it for money.
[00:32:57] He used his prophetic wisdom wickedly for money.
[00:33:05] Ah.
[00:33:07] Sometimes I watch TV preachers just to tell me what I don't want to be.
[00:33:14] I saw this guy, I don't know what his name was, but he had a religious show and he said this.
[00:33:24] God told me I need a private jet.
[00:33:31] God said, you can't be flying around on regular planes. They're full of demons.
[00:33:39] You have to have. I want you to have a private jet, okay? Not just any old private jet, but a private jet that is capable of circumnavigating the world.
[00:33:54] Because God told him, I never know where I need you and when I need you there.
[00:34:05] And then he said, started in a spiel, God. God is going to do this and God is going to do that, and, and I want you to send me this much money and church.
[00:34:18] That's the spirit of Balaam right there.
[00:34:22] Ah.
[00:34:23] This church raises a lot of money. Sharon and I live in a 1,200 square foot house.
[00:34:30] We have one car.
[00:34:34] I do not have the spirit of Balaam Church I promise you.
[00:34:42] Ah.
[00:34:45] I do dress pretty well, though, don't I?
[00:34:50] I'm just kidding.
[00:34:52] It's a joke. Church.
[00:34:54] All right.
[00:34:57] Boot. Barn.
[00:35:00] All right.
[00:35:03] Jude said, I want you to consider what becomes of people who.
[00:35:16] Who misrepresent God for their own economic advantage.
[00:35:22] It's a warning.
[00:35:24] And then finally he said, one more story.
[00:35:26] This is the story of Korah.
[00:35:30] Moses was leading the children of Israel out of Egypt. They were in the wilderness.
[00:35:35] Korah and a bunch of his friends got ticked off at Moses.
[00:35:39] And they said, we're not obeying you anymore.
[00:35:47] We don't like you as the boss.
[00:35:50] Korah said, I think I can do a better job than you can.
[00:35:54] And he led a rebellion against Moses.
[00:35:58] And the Lord said to Moses, all right, tell everybody to move away from their tents, from Korah. And the people who are with Korah. You tell everybody else to move away from them.
[00:36:10] That would make me nervous. All my neighbors start moving.
[00:36:16] And.
[00:36:17] And so there was a separation in the camp.
[00:36:22] And the Lord said, so that you can know that Moses is my leader in this camp.
[00:36:32] I'm going to do something that you've never seen before.
[00:36:36] And there was a giant earthquake. A fault line broke open.
[00:36:41] Korah and everybody who was with him fell in.
[00:36:45] And when the earthquake quit, the fault line came back together, and they were never seen again.
[00:36:52] Judas saying, remember, Korah, before you rebel against God, before you rebel against how God organizes things, before you decide to go your own way, remember what happened to Korah.
[00:37:09] All right, now I'm glad the book doesn't end here. Now, that's all the bad stuff. Let's do some good stuff, shall we? All right.
[00:37:17] And then he says, in difficult times like this, I want you to do five things.
[00:37:25] When your life is at the most difficult, Jude said, do these five things. You want to know what they are?
[00:37:34] All right, let's do it. 1.
[00:37:37] You, beloved, build yourself up in your most holy faith. We call that discipleship. When your life is hardest, do everything you can to grow as a follower of Jesus Christ.
[00:37:52] Listen, when your life gets hard, you don't stop trying to be a follower of Christ. You try harder to be a follower of Christ.
[00:38:01] Do you get this? When your life is at the most difficult, that's when you have to bear down and build yourself up in the faith to pray in the Holy Spirit. When your life is the hardest, you have to pray more.
[00:38:18] Church.
[00:38:20] It's non negotiable.
[00:38:22] You got to talk to the one who knows what's going on.
[00:38:25] 3.
[00:38:28] I love this one.
[00:38:29] Keep yourself in the love of God.
[00:38:33] Live in an awareness that God loves you.
[00:38:38] Keep reminding yourself. This is unpleasant. This makes me anxious.
[00:38:44] This is trying.
[00:38:46] I'm not. I don't. I feel insecure.
[00:38:50] But in spite of all of that, God loves me and I'm going to continue to remind myself of the Love of God.
[00:38:59] 4.
[00:39:00] Here's our word again. Waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.
[00:39:07] Wait for mercy.
[00:39:09] God has a mercy for your misery.
[00:39:13] 5.
[00:39:15] Show mercy and have mercy on those who doubt.
[00:39:19] Save others by snatching them out of the fire.
[00:39:23] To others, show mercy with fear.
[00:39:28] Jude says, when your life is at its hardest, remember these warnings and do these five things.
[00:39:37] Build yourself up in the faith. Pray, live in the love of God, wait for mercy and show mercy.
[00:39:45] And then the book ends. Awesome. I love the way this book ends.
[00:39:49] We get to sprint across the finish line in difficult times.
[00:39:58] Worship more.
[00:40:00] Listen what he says now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling. We worship God who keeps us from stumbling.
[00:40:11] To present you blameless before the presence of his glory. We worship God because He's in the process of making us blameless with great joy. We worship God because He fills us with joy.
[00:40:27] To the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, be glory. We worship God because He is our only God. He is our Savior and He is the Lord.
[00:40:40] And finally, dominion, Majesty. Dominion, Authority before all times, now and forever. We worship God because of his majesty, dominion and eternity. All right.
[00:40:52] When times are hard, I remember the warning.
[00:40:57] When times are hard, I simplify to the fundamentals.
[00:41:02] Build myself up in the most holy.
[00:41:04] Pray, live in the love of God, wait for mercy and show mercy.
[00:41:12] In the most difficult times, I remind myself of how great God is and I worship Him.
[00:41:20] This is what the book of Jude is about.
[00:41:23] You're going to have hard times. Things are going to be unpleasant. You're going to be challenged, you're going to be confused.
[00:41:29] You're going to be disappointed.
[00:41:32] But remember the warnings and then simplify to the fundamentals and remind yourself of how awesome and beautiful and wonderful the Lord God is.
[00:41:45] Our dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this book.
[00:41:49] Thank you for the wisdom in it. I pray that by your grace you would apply it to our hearts and and we can use these good ideas effectively.
[00:41:58] In Jesus name, Amen.
