… and we'll be careful to give you all the glory, all the honor, and all the praise. In Jesus' name, I dare you to clap your hands in your house, in your kitchen. Oh, magnify the Lord with me. Let us exalt His name together. Hallelujah. Woo! I'm ready. All right. Are y'all ready? Put ready in the comments if y'all ready, because I'm telling you I'm reloaded. I don't know. Every time I say reloaded, I feel like I have to do that sound, like I'm reloaded. All right?

… sing praises to him, tell of all his wondrous works. O magnify the Lord with me, and come, let us exalt his name together. One generation will commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. In Psalm 71, he says, I am now an older man, and I have been led by you from my youth and I still proclaim your mighty deeds. And so it is the longing of my heart, the psalmist says, that I will continue to proclaim your wondrous works until the generations that are yet to come will understand and believe these things. Now generational transitions are understandable to us. more so in the time in which we live than perhaps even in earlier centuries. It's hard for many of us to understand that the terminology, for example, of a teenager was an unknown notion until for halfway through the 20th century. And what is a generation after all? It's unlikely that there are any members here. It's not impossible, but it's unlikely that there are any members here of Generation Beta. …
… That you'll look for someone with whom you can say, oh magnify the Lord with me. Let us exalt his name together as we together pursue our supreme pleasure in God. It'll change how you lead. That leadership is the holy pursuit of the holy pleasure of those you're leading. in God. It'll change how you exercise and how you can compete in athletics because the essential key to glorifying God in your body is pursuing your joy in him. And as you start a new semester, a new course of study, it will change how you pursue learning and academics, seeking your joy in God through the life of the mind. Now, you might say at this point, this is significant. I could use some more Bible than just Isaiah 55. Now, if I had time, we could work through Jesus' teaching. I would work through those unblushing promises in the Sermon on the Mount. Your Father who sees in secret will reward you. Jesus is offering reward over and over again in his teaching. …

… This is why the psalmist said, magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together. What does magnify mean? It makes something larger. right? So I magnify the Lord. I see Him in His greatness and it puts my problem in perspective. That's why Jesus in the Lord's Prayer taught us to pray as follows. Our Father who art in heaven,
… There is a blessing to being in a congregation when you have an understanding and when come, let us reason together, but even greater than it, oh, magnify the Lord with me. Let us exalt his name together. That means you throw in your praise and somebody else throws in a hallelujah. You know you're sitting in the wrong section if nobody on either side or behind you or around you says praise the Lord ever. I noticed after they sung the second song, there was a huge silence, deafening silence between the second and the third song. I tell them to work on transitions. And you know what ought to feel that silence? Everybody up here ought to praise the Lord Because that's what it's about. It's not about the song. It's about praise the Lord. And everybody out there ought to say hallelujah. Well, why do we do that? Because he's worthy of it. Because that's the point of it. We just said all of that about him. …
… Remember, Hannah was another mother who thought she couldn't have a child and then did. 1 Samuel chapter 2, particularly the Psalms. We could look at Psalm 34.3, Psalm 35.9, and many other psalms. In other words, it's quite possible, even apart from a supernatural intervention of the Holy Spirit, that Mary might be able to burst into something like this. Because as a first century Jew, she would have memorized much of the Scripture. She would have heard it in the prayers of a faithful household. She would have heard it sung and recited and prayed and the synagogue worshiped, it is a reminder and a challenge. What is in your head and your heart? It's not wrong that you listen to quote-unquote secular songs. Yeah, we do too. We listen to the Sirius XM different holiday Christmas stations that play the same, you know, 15 diva Christmas songs all the time. I like Christmas. We even like some of those songs. Are you putting into your head and your heart enough Bible that something like this, okay, you don't have to be merry, but might come out when you need it and you don't know when you need it, when you're weeping tears, when you're at the hospital bed, when you're experiencing a joy you never thought you would or a sorrow you never thought you would have? …
… from our wedding day has been Psalm 34 verse three. Magnify the Lord with me. Let's exalt his name together. This is the mission of marriage, to magnify the Lord with your spouse, to exalt his name with each other. This is why biblical marriage is worth defending in the face of cultural redefinition. It's why biblical marriage is worth displaying, even when it means cultural confrontation. This is why biblical marriage is worth working for. Husbands and wives worth encouraging and fighting for. Single brothers and sisters alongside those in this church family who are married and maybe worth pursuing in your life because God has established marriage from the beginning of creation to show his glory to a watching world. And obviously we have experienced in so many different ways in this gathering the effects of sin, not just in our lives but in marriages, in ways that even diving into this bring up, open up wounds from the past. But I want even amidst those wounds to point you to the one who is able to bring balm to those wounds like no one or nothing in this world can. …

It's all right. I can't make you. I'm not going to try to make you do nothing. But to the people who hear the word of the Lord. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Let me close with verse 20. Verse 20 makes my point. So they rose early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. And as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem. Believe in the Lord your God and you shall be established. believe his prophets and you shall prosper I'm just coming as a mouthpiece to tell you believe God I'm just coming to tell you lift up your heads all ye gates and be ye lifted up ye everlasting doors the king of glory is coming in the king of glory is worthy of your praise the king of glory is worthy for you to give him thanks. …

It's a whole lot of people who will celebrate with you and will shout with you, but it's a small circle of people that will actually be there when you need somebody to cry with you. empathy is the ability to understand and share the feeling of others. Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, the uncertified co-president of the United States, recently said on the Rogan podcast that the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy. Did you hear what the richest man in the world said? He said, the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy.

They don't have any feelings for the 5.8 million blacks that are getting ready to be purged off of Medicare. …
