WELCOME TO KENNEDY CLASSICS
HELLO, I'M FRANK WRIGHT, PRESIDENT OF
D. JAMES KENNEDY MINISTRIES WHERE WE ARE STANDING FOR
TRUTH AND DEFENDING YOUR FREEDOM.
WELCOME TO KENNEDY CLASSICS.
I WANT TO INVITE YOU TO DOWNLOAD OUR MINISTRY'S
MOBILE APP.
YOU CAN WATCH ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS
ACCESS DAILY DEVOTIONALS, BIBLE VERSIONS, AND
EVANGELISM TRAINING MATERIALS.
AND IT'S FREE.
JUST GO TO THE APP STORE ON YOUR PHONE OR MOBILE
DEVICE AND SEARCH FOR D. JAMES KENNEDY MINISTRIES.
AMONG OUR MANY COLLOQUIAL EXPRESSIONS, ONE IS ALMOST
UNIVERSALLY UNDERSTOOD.
WHEN WE SAY WE ARE "SETTING OUR SIGHTS" ON
SOMETHING, IT MEANS WE ARE "AIMING" OUR EFFORTS TO
BE, OR TO DO, OR TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING.
ODDLY ENOUGH HOWEVER, WE RARELY USE THIS EXPRESSION
WHEN TALKING ABOUT ULTIMATE THINGS, AND YET
CLEARLY WE SHOULD.
CONSIDER, FOR EXAMPLE, LIFE'S GREAT QUESTIONS:
"WHO AM I?"
"WHERE DID I COME FROM?"
"WHY AM I HERE?"
SURELY THESE ARE QUESTIONS MUST BE ASKED AND ANSWERED
BEFORE WE CAN SET OUR SIGHTS ON SOMETHING MEANINGFUL.
OTHERWISE WE BECOME LIKE THE FELLOW IN THE STORY
WHO SPENT HIS WHOLE LIFE CLIMBING THE LADDER OF
SUCCESS ONLY TO FIND THE LADDER WAS LEANING AGAINST
THE WRONG WALL.
ALL OF WHICH BEGS THE QUESTION: "WHY ARE YOU HERE?"
"WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE FOR LIVING?"
HERE IS DR. D. JAMES KENNEDY WITH HIS MESSAGE:
"THE CHIEF END OF MAN."
OUR SCRIPTURE LESSON THIS MORNING IS TAKEN FROM THE
42ND PSALM.
PSALM 42 BEGINNING WITH THE 1ST VERSE.
MAY WE GIVE OUR CAREFUL ATTENTION TO THE INSPIRED
AND INFALLIBLE WORD OF THE LIVING GOD.
AND MAY GOD SPEAK THIS DAY THROUGH HIS HOLY WORD TO
OUR HEARTS AND TO OUR NEED AND MAY HIS NAME EVER BE
PRAISED AMEN.
AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER WAS TELLING HER
YOUNG CLASS HOW PEOPLE CAME WITH TWO ENDS; THERE
WAS THE ROUND END AND THE POINTED END.
THE ROUND END, SHE EXPLAINED, WAS FOR
SITTING, AND THE POINTED END WAS FOR THINKING.
SHE INTENDED TO WORK ON THE POINTED END.
THAT SUNDAY WHEN THE LITTLE BOY WAS IN SUNDAY
SCHOOL AND THE TEACHER WAS QUIZZING THE CLASS ON THE
CATECHISM QUESTION: WHAT IS THE CHIEF END OF MAN?
HIS HAND SHOT UP AND TRIUMPHANTLY HE DECLARED,
"THE POINTED END."
OUR LITTLE FRIEND WAS CONFUSED, BUT FAR MORE
TRAGIC IS THE FACT THAT THERE ARE MILLIONS OF
ADULTS IN THIS COUNTRY WHO ARE JUST AS CONFUSED AS HE
AS TO WHAT THE CHIEF END IN LIFE REALLY IS.
THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING, WHERE THEY CAME
FROM, OR WHERE THEY SHOULD EVEN BE HEADING.
THEY ARE COMPLETELY LOST IN A WORLD THAT HAS BEEN
BEFOGGED BY UNBELIEF.
THIS, INDEED, IS A GREAT TRAGEDY.
WHAT IS THE CHIEF END OF MAN?
350 YEARS AGO, THE WESTMINSTER DIVINES- ABOUT
150 GODLY MEN- CAME TOGETHER TO EXAMINE THE
TEACHINGS OF SCRIPTURE AND THEY SET THIS FIRST: THE
CHIEF END OF MAN IS TO "GLORIFY GOD, AND TO ENJOY
HIM FOREVER."
TIME MANAGEMENT EXPERTS TELL US THAT WE SHOULD
ALWAYS BE SETTING GOALS.
I THINK IT WAS STEVE COVEY WHO SAID, "BEGIN WITH THE
END IN MIND," AND THEN WORK BACKWARDS.
THAT IS, THINK ABOUT YOUR DEATH OR THE OBITUARY YOU
WOULD LIKE TO SEE WRITTEN ABOUT YOU, AND WORK
BACKWARDS FROM THAT TO THE PRESENT, AND SO LIVE YOUR
LIFE AS TO TRY TO REACH THAT END.
BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND.
THAT IS GOOD ADVICE FROM A WORLDLY POINT OF VIEW, AND
YET THE ERROR IS THAT DEATH IS NOT THE END.
THOSE WHO SEE NOTHING BEYOND THE "OBIT" COLUMN
HAVE A VERY SHORTSIGHTED VIEW OF LIFE, TO SAY THE
LEAST.
THE LAST WORD ABOUT OUR LIVES IN THIS WORLD WILL
NOT BE WRITTEN IN THE NEWSPAPER, BUT IN THE
LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE AND IN THE JUDGMENT BOOKS OF GOD.
BUT THE DIVINES OF WESTMINSTER KNEW THAT THE
CHIEF END OF MAN MUST LIE BEYOND THE BORDERS OF THIS
LIFE AND DEATH AND MUST REACH INTO ETERNITY- TO
ENJOY HIM FOREVER, TO GLORIFY GOD AND TO ENJOY
HIM FOREVER.
HOW DO WE GLORIFY GOD IS A QUESTION WE NEED TO ASK
OURSELVES.
ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL WAYS IS THROUGH THE WORSHIP OF
THE TRIUNE GOD.
THIS I WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER WITH YOU TODAY.
I REMEMBER A VERY ATTRACTIVE YOUNG LADY
ASKED A YOUNG MAN THIS QUESTION INQUIRINGLY:
"WHERE DO YOU ATTEND CHURCH?"
HE CONFIDENTLY RESPONDED, "OH, I DON'T ATTEND ANY
CHURCH, BUT OF COURSE YOU CAN BE JUST AS GOOD A
CHRISTIAN WITHOUT GOING TO CHURCH AS YOU CAN BY GOING
TO CHURCH."
THAT IS A SENTIMENT WHICH IS HELD BY MANY PEOPLE
TODAY, OBVIOUSLY SO IN OUR COUNTRY.
RIGHT THIS MORNING THERE ARE ABOUT 105 MILLION
AMERICANS IN CHURCH, BUT THERE ARE 145 MILLION
OTHERS WHO AREN'T, WHO PROBABLY MOST OF THEM
EMBRACE SUCH A PHILOSOPHY AS THAT.
FOR THOUGH THAT YOUNG MAN MADE THAT STATEMENT
CONFIDENTLY, IT IS NOTHING BUT ERRANT NONSENSE.
NOW I THINK I CAN SPEAK THAT CAUSTICALLY ABOUT
THAT YOUNG MAN, SINCE IT WAS I WHO MADE THAT
STATEMENT: "YOU CAN BE JUST AS GOOD A CHRISTIAN
WITHOUT GOING TO CHURCH AS YOU CAN BY GOING TO
CHURCH"- WHICH IS AS FOOLISH AS SUPPOSING THAT
YOU CAN BE JUST AS HEALTHY A HUMAN BEING WITHOUT
EATING AS YOU CAN BY EATING.
THAT IS PALPABLY FALSE.
LET ME MAKE ONE THING VERY CLEAR: THERE ARE MANY
PEOPLE WHO GO TO CHURCH WHO ARE NOT CHRISTIANS,
BUT EVERY CHRISTIAN GOES TO CHURCH, UNLESS HE IS
PROVIDENTIALLY HINDERED BY BEING BEDRIDDEN OR SOME
OTHER SUCH PROVIDENTIAL HINDRANCE.
MAY I SAY THAT AGAIN, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE
WHO GO TO CHURCH WHO ARE NOT CHRISTIANS.
TO WIT: THE YOUNG LADY WHO ASKED ME THAT QUESTION-
WHO IS NOW MY WIFE- WHO AT THE TIME ATTENDED CHURCH
SIX TIMES A WEEK.
BUT AT THAT TIME, SHE WAS NOT YET A CHRISTIAN
EITHER.
SO WE HAD A VERY RELIGIOUS UNBELIEVER AND A VERY
IRRELIGIOUS UNBELIEVER- NEITHER ONE OF THEM WAS
TRULY A CHRISTIAN.
NOT EVERYONE THAT GOES TO CHURCH IS A CHRISTIAN, BUT
EVERYONE WHO IS A CHRISTIAN GOES TO CHURCH.
I ASKED A LADY JUST THIS WEEK IN HER HOME HOW MANY
STRONG MEN IT WOULD TAKE TO MAKE HER EAT A BOWL OF
DOG FOOD.
SHE AGREED IT WOULD TAKE A NUMBER, AND YOU WOULD
PROBABLY CONCUR.
I SAID, "HOWEVER, IF I HAD A MAGIC WAND, AND I TAPPED
YOU ON THE HEAD AND TURNED YOU INTO A GOLDEN COCKER
SPANIEL, ALL I WOULD NEED DO WOULD BE SET DOWN THE
BOWL OF DOG FOOD AND GET MY FINGERS OUT OF THE WAY
BEFORE YOU ATE THEM TOO."
YOU SEE, THE REASON THAT WE DON'T EAT DOG FOOD IS
BECAUSE WE ARE NOT DOGS.
BUT IF WE BECAME DOGS, WE WOULD WANT DOG FOOD.
I TALKED TO A MAN ONE TIME WHO TOLD ME ALL THE
REASONS WHY HE DIDN'T GO TO CHURCH: HE'D RATHER
STAY HOME AND READ THE FUNNY PAPER, HE HAD TO
WORK, HE HAD ALL SORTS OF EXCUSES.
I SAID, "WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO TELL YOU THE
REAL REASON WHY YOU DON'T GO TO CHURCH?"
HE WAS STARTLED, BUT HE SAID, "YES."
I SAID, "ALL RIGHT.
THIS IS THE REAL REASON WHY YOU DON'T GO TO
CHURCH: VERY SIMPLY, IT IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NEVER
BEEN BORN AGAIN.
YOU DON'T HAVE THAT NEW HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL NATURE
THAT CHRIST GIVES TO PEOPLE WHEN THEY ARE
REGENERATED WHICH CAUSES THEM TO WANT TO EAT
SPIRITUAL FOOD IN THE SAME WAY THAT A DOG, HAVING
RECEIVED A DOGGIE NATURE AT BIRTH, DESIRES TO EAT
DOG FOOD.
WHEN WE RECEIVE A "CHRIST NATURE" AT REBIRTH, WE,
TOO, WILL DESIRE TO EAT CHRISTIAN FOOD AND WE WILL
DESIRE IT AS WELL.
IN OUR TEXT THIS MORNING, DAVID SAYS, "AS THE HART,
THE STAG, THE MALE DEER PANTETH AFTER THE WATER
BROOKS, SO PANTETH MY SOUL AFTER THEE, O GOD."
I THINK MY ATTENTION WAS FIRST DRAWN TO THAT TEXT
MANY YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS IN THE GARDEN OF
GETHSEMANE, RIGHT OUTSIDE THE WALL OF JERUSALEM.
THERE IN THAT GARDEN IS LOCATED THE INTERNATIONAL
CHURCH.
ON THE FRONT AND THE OUTSIDE OF THE PINNACLE
OF THAT CHURCH, THERE IS A CROSS.
ON EITHER SIDE OF THE CROSS THERE ARE DEER OR
HARTS RAMPANT, STANDING ON THEIR HIND LEGS LEANING
FORWARD TOWARD THE CROSS.
I THOUGHT: WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SYMBOLISM THAT
IS OF THAT TEXT, I'VE NEVER FORGOTTEN IT.
"AS THE HART PANTETH AFTER THE WATER BROOKS, SO
PANTETH MY SOUL AFTER THEE, O GOD."
EVERY ONE OF US PANTS AFTER SOMETHING.
EVERY ONE OF US DESIRES, DREAMS ABOUT, HUNGERS
AFTER, THIRSTS FOR SOMETHING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MIGHT BE IN YOUR LIFE.
PERHAPS IT IS FAME, FORTUNE, WEALTH, EASE,
RECREATION.
WE LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE THERE ARE THOSE WHO
SUPPOSE THAT WE ARE RECREATING OURSELVES TO
DEATH AND THAT THIS MAY BE THE WAY THE WEST DIES.
BUT I KNOW THIS: NO UNBELIEVER PANTS AFTER
GOD.
THAT THE THIRSTING OF HIS SOUL IS NOT TO KNOW GOD.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
MAY I ASK YOU CANDIDLY AND HONESTLY: WHAT IS IT YOU
ARE REALLY SEEKING FOR IN YOUR LIFE?
IS IT GOD?
LET ME SAY THAT IF IT IS, THAT IS EVIDENCE OF THE
GRACE OF GOD WORKING IN YOUR LIFE, BECAUSE NO ONE
DESIRES MORE GRACE WHO HASN'T EXPERIENCED SOME
GRACE ALREADY.
IT IS GRACE UPON GRACE THAT WE NEED.
THE GREAT SPURGEON SAYS THAT OUR TEXT IS
WOVEN IN THE WARP AND WOOF OF VERY DIFFERENT KIND OF
THREAD.
THERE IS THE GOLDEN THREAD RUNNING ONE WAY AND THEN
THERE IS A BLACK THREAD THAT RUNS CROSSWAYS TO
THAT.
THE GOLDEN THREAD, OF COURSE, IS THAT IF WE ARE
PANTING AFTER GOD, THAT IS, INDEED, COMMENDABLE,
BECAUSE THAT INDICATES IT GOD'S SPIRIT IS WORKING IN
OUR HEARTS DRAWING US UNTO HIM.
ON THE OTHER HAND, THE BLACK THREAD IS THAT WE
OUGHT NOT TO NEED SUCH PANTING AT ALL, BECAUSE IT
IS AN INDICATION OF OUR SIN WHEREBY WE HAVE
DECLINED AWAY FROM GOD; WE HAVE BACKSLIDDEN OUT OF
HIS PRESENCE AND NO LONGER ARE ENJOYING THAT INTIMATE
DAILY COMMUNION WHICH ONCE WE DELIGHTED IN, IN TIME
GONE BY.
SOMETIMES WE CAN DRIFT SLOWLY AWAY, GRADUALLY
SLIDING AWAY FROM THAT INTIMATE FELLOWSHIP WITH
GOD.
AS IN I RECALL THE BOOK TO LIGHT A FIRE BY JACK
LONDON WHICH DESCRIBES A MAN WALKING THROUGH THE
FREEZING, FRIGID COLD OF ALASKA, WHEN THE
TEMPERATURE HAD DROPPED DOWN BELOW 40 BELOW ZERO.
AND HOW AT LENGTH THE BITING COLD WAS SEARING
HIS LUNGS AND THROAT, FREEZING HIS BREATH AND
HIS HANDS AND FEET.
HE WAS UTTERLY EXHAUSTED.
AND FELT, AT LENGTH, THAT IF ONLY HE COULD SIT DOWN
FOR A FEW MINUTES AND REGAIN HIS STRENGTH,
PERHAPS HE COULD GO ON AND MAKE IT TO HIS HOME.
HAVING SAT DOWN IN THE DEEP SNOW AND LEANED BACK
AGAINST THAT SNOW, HE BEGAN TO FEEL THE BURNING
PAIN BE ASSUAGED AND LESSEN, UNTIL HE FELT A
WARMTH THAT SURGED THROUGH HIS BODY.
HE BEGAN TO RELAX.
HE THOUGHT, "IF I COULD JUST LEAN MY HEAD AGAINST
THE BANK OF SNOW AND PERHAPS CATCH A FEW
MINUTES SLEEP, THEN I WOULD BE REFRESHED AND
ABLE TO GO ON."
AND SO HE CLOSED HIS EYELIDS AND SOON SLEPT THE
SLEEP OF THE DEAD.
SO SATAN WOULD HAVE US TO BE COMFORTABLE IN OUR
APOSTASY.
THE ONE THING HE DOESN'T WANT US TO DO IS COME BACK
TO GOD AND REJOICE IN HIS PRESENCE AND HIS LOVE.
SOMETIMES WE NEED TO BE STARTLED AWAKE AND REALIZE
THAT WE HAVE SLIDDEN BACK.
THAT WE ARE FAR FROM THAT COMFORTABLE RELATIONSHIP
OF JOY AND INTIMACY THAT ONCE WE KNEW- THAT COMFORT
THAT ONLY CHRIST CAN GIVE- AND BE DRAWN BACK TO HIM.
MY FRIEND, PERHAPS YOU HAVE REALIZED TODAY HOW
FAR YOU HAVE DRIFTED FROM CHRIST AND YOU NEED TO GET
BACK.
YOU NEED, THEN, TO PRAY THAT GOD WOULD GIVE YOU
THAT THIRSTING SPIRIT, THAT YOUR SOUL MAY PANT
AFTER THE LIVING GOD, THIS IS WHAT GOD WANTS.
HE WANTS TO HAVE THAT INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH US.
THEREBY, WE GLORIFY HIM.
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, "THAT THIS IS LIFE ETERNAL, THAT
WE MAY KNOW THEE, THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD, AND JESUS
CHRIST, WHOM THOU HATH SENT" (JOHN 17:3).
"LET NOT THE WISE MAN GLORY IN HIS WISDOM,
NEITHER THE MIGHTY MAN IN HIS MIGHT, NOR LET THE
RICH MAN GLORY IN HIS RICHES: BUT LET HIM THAT
GLORIETH GLORY IN THIS, THAT HE UNDERSTANDETH AND
KNOWETH ME" (JEREMIAH 9:23, 24A).
THIS INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LIVING GOD IS THE
GREAT PURPOSE OF OUR LIVES HERE.
"MY SOUL PANTETH AFTER THEE, O GOD."
EACH OF US THIRSTS FOR SOMETHING, BUT ONLY IF
CHRIST HAS COME INTO OUR LIVES DO WE THIRST FOR
HIM.
THE UNBELIEVER, THE BLIND WORLDLING, IS LIKE A CHILD
WHO WANTS SOMETHING, BUT HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT
IT IS HE REALLY WANTS.
HE TRIES EVERYTHING TO FILL THE EMPTINESS OF HIS
HEART.
OUR HEARTS, WHICH AS HAS BEEN SAID, ARE GOD-SHAPED
BLANKS THAT ONLY GOD CAN FILL.
WHEN THE DEER, THE STAG, THE HART PANTS AFTER
WATER, IT IS USUALLY WHEN HE HAS PERHAPS BEEN
PURSUED BY HUNTERS OR BY WILD DOGS.
NOW, HAVING FLED AS LONG AND AS FAR AS HE COULD,
HIS WATER IS GONE AND HIS WHOLE BODY PANTS AFTER
THAT.
YOU CAN SEE HIM TREMBLE, THE PERSPIRATION ON HIS
FLANKS, THE DRIED TONGUE OUT OF HIS MOUTH, THE
WILD PANICKY LOOK IN HIS EYES AS HE'S THIRSTING IN
HIS WHOLE BEING AFTER THE WATER BROOKS "SO THIRSTETH
MY SOUL AFTER THEE, O GOD."
LET US PRAY THAT GOD WOULD GIVE US THAT KIND OF
THIRSTING AND NOT BE SATISFIED UNTIL THAT
PRAYER IS ANSWERED.
IF GOD WOULD GIVE US ANY DESIRE FOR HIM AT ALL,
THEN SURELY HE WOULD NOT LEAVE THAT DESIRE
UNFULFILLED.
IF WE SINCERELY SEEK HIM THE BIBLE TELLS US, "THOSE
THAT TRULY SEEK ME, SAYS GOD SHALL EVER TRULY FIND
ME." (JEREMIAH 29:13)
IF YOU DON'T KNOW AND HAVE NEVER KNOWN THAT INTIMATE
RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST, THAT REALIZATION THAT YOU
ARE ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED- NOT BECAUSE THERE
IS ANYTHING GOOD IN YOU, BUT IN SPITE OF THE FACT
OF ALL OF THE EVIL THAT IS IN THE HEARTS OF EVERY ONE
OF US THAT BY HIS PURE GRACE, THROUGH THE MERITS
OF HIS ATONING DEATH, WE ARE ACCEPTED FREELY AND
GIVEN THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE AND RECONCILED TO HIM
AND EMBRACED BY HIS LOVE, IF YOU'VE NEVER KNOWN THAT
THEN I WOULD URGE YOU TO COME TO THE CROSS RIGHT
NOW.
TO KNEEL BEFORE THE CRUCIFIED ONE, TO REPENT
OF YOUR SINS, TO CONFESS YOUR INIQUITY, AND TO ASK
FOR HIS FORGIVENESS, FOR HIS CLEANSING AND HIS
RENEWAL, THAT HE MIGHT CHANGE YOUR HEART AND MAKE
YOU TRULY HIS OWN.
AH, DEAR FRIEND, THIS IS THE CHIEF END OF MAN, TO
KNOW HIM, TO KNOW HIM INTIMATELY, TO THIRST
AFTER HIS PRESENCE.
MAY THAT THIRSTING, THAT PANTING BE YOURS.
MAY WE PRAY.
FATHER, FOR THOSE WHO HAVE KNOWN YOUR LOVE AND WHO
CAN LOOK BACK INTO THE HALLS OF MEMORY AND RECALL
THOSE TIMES IN THE ROOM AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS,
WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN THOSE DAILY TIMES OF LOVE
AND INTIMACY, AND WHO REALIZE THEY HAVE DRIFTED
FAR FROM THAT, MAY THEY DETERMINE RIGHT NOW TO CRY
UNTO THEE: "O LORD, GRANT ME THAT PANTING OF MY SOUL
AFTER THEE.
GRANT ME A THIRSTING AFTER THE LIVING GOD THAT I
MIGHT COME AND FIND THEE, WHO ALONE CAN SATISFY THE
EMPTINESS OF THE HUMAN HEART."
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN IT, MAY THEY SAY: "O
CHRIST, TRULY THOU HAST DIED FOR ME.
I SEE IT NOW.
AND SEE THAT I WILL NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH TO BE
ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE OF MY GOODNESS.
BUT UNACCEPTABLE AS I AM, THOU ART WILLING TO ACCEPT
ME BY THY GRACE.
I COME TO THEE, REPENTING OF MY SINS, TRUSTING IN
YOUR BLOOD SHED FOR MY INIQUITIES.
COME INTO MY HEART AND LIVE IN ME.
IN THY NAME."
AMEN.
