1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,700
The last year succeeded the 
Prophet Elijah, you know, and of

2
00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:08,700
course, he was a servant of God 
moving about over the country 

3
00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:12,300
doing the will of God, the 
profits of that day were not too

4
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:14,200
different from the prophets of 
our day. 

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,300
Our preachers. 
In other words, the profits of 

6
00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:20,900
that day, when about over the 
country, declaring the word of 

7
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:24,400
the god of God. 
When people needed to be 

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,400
chastised and rebuked. 
And when Nations needed to be 

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,800
review, they did that. 
When people needed 

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,300
encouragement. 
When people needed to be 

11
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:37,800
strengthened, they did that. 
The only difference between them

12
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,700
and us is they had God's word 
given to them directly. 

13
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:46,800
We have God's word given to us 
through his blessed book, The 

14
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,000
Bible. 
And that's not too different 

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,300
when you come to think Kabul. 
In fact the business I think 

16
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:55,700
ours is the better way. 
Everybody can read what we've 

17
00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:59,100
taught to see whether or not we 
are actually repeating what God 

18
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:02,800
Said or not. 
The point was all the contenders

19
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,900
of the faith. 
He is that they must give it 

20
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:10,000
just as God gave it to them. 
Are they are to be blamed and 

21
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,500
cursed in that final day. 
So Elijah was one of these men 

22
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:17,400
who went about over the country 
working for God. 

23
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:22,200
He had received his lessons from
the Elijah, as I've said, now, 

24
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,000
relax your himself. 
Had some sort of profit school. 

25
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,700
I don't really know all the 
particulars of it that doesn't 

26
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:32,100
matter, but over give guy. 
Girl, he had a profit school and

27
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:34,000
there. 
He went down and talk from time 

28
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000
to time. 
Now. 

29
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,600
It seems that after he had made 
some trips around over the 

30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,800
country. 
He healed The Widow's son, you 

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,500
know, and had finally come back 
to gilgal and second Kings, two.

32
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:49,400
And one, we're in other places. 
We find where he had took up 

33
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,100
school. 
As we say, the students were all

34
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:55,200
in their places, but that was a 
death in the land. 

35
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,500
Don't forget that the Bible 
takes pains to say now that 

36
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:00,800
simply meant that food. 
Would be scarce and 

37
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,200
circumstances would be very poor
and very, very discouraging, no 

38
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,500
doubt. 
So I doubt everybody had enough 

39
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:12,100
food, really to eat. 
Now, this school of prophets. 

40
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,400
I suppose was affected by this 
particular famine as much as 

41
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,300
anybody else. 
And I just suspect that these 

42
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:21,900
students were sitting there 
today, before their teacher 

43
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:25,600
hungry, evidently, that must 
have been the case. 

44
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,500
All right, was getting on up 
toward noon, one, probably. 

45
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,900
Swishing noon that soon come a 
bunch of students really likes 

46
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:39,200
to have noon come around and 
they like to eat usually but it 

47
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,100
seems like that there was not 
too much to eat back in the 

48
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:48,700
pantry, back in the kitchen 
department and I suppose of the 

49
00:02:48,700 --> 00:02:51,900
servant of the Prophet had 
charge of this particular 

50
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:54,300
detail. 
And since that's just was 

51
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:57,800
nothing to eat. 
One of the students are rather, 

52
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,500
a servant went out into the 
field. 

53
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:04,100
See what he could find looking 
here and there he couldn't find 

54
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:07,000
any vegetables. 
He didn't run upon any turnip 

55
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,600
greens. 
He didn't find any peas or 

56
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,800
anything like that, going 
around, but he did find 

57
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,800
something, he found something 
that he thought was edible and 

58
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,300
he gathered it up, probably a 
city boy down there taking 

59
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:25,500
lessons in the field, logical 
school and you can't expect them

60
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:28,800
to have too much of a knowledge 
of agricultural Affairs. 

61
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:34,100
So, So then we find that our he 
gathered, these things come to 

62
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:36,400
find out. 
They were gourds are left full 

63
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,700
of them. 
The Bible says he took the men 

64
00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:44,300
but they've been real gourds and
he's read them into the potage 

65
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:48,800
pot because the prophet had said
to some of them go set on the 

66
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,100
great pop and see pottage. 
Well, it had to have a little 

67
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:55,900
bit to eat and it looked like it
might have been a little skimpy,

68
00:03:55,900 --> 00:03:57,700
so they're going to do some, 
some. 

69
00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:00,400
Maybe this is potage helper. 
I don't know. 

70
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,700
But anyway, they're going to put
something in there that was 

71
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:06,200
going to stretch it a little bit
and give them a little bit of 

72
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,600
extra, but lo and behold, the 
Bible says these were wild 

73
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,200
gourds. 
Now this student didn't know 

74
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,300
much as I say about gardening. 
So he just got these things, cut

75
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:22,500
them up into pot and I'll stood 
it, and they cooked and cooked. 

76
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:24,300
And after a while it was time to
eat. 

77
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:27,900
And so the bell rang of the 
whistle blew, or he tapped the 

78
00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:32,100
table or whatever it was time. 
Time for dinner and they all sat

79
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:34,800
in their places and so he began 
to come in with the great 

80
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,600
caught. 
Begin to pass out. 

81
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,200
Partying, stay everybody. 
Here. 

82
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,900
They came with their plates, in 
their bows, and they'll begin to

83
00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:44,900
get some potage and then they 
all went over and sat down and 

84
00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:46,500
began to eat. 
Now. 

85
00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:50,500
I'm not going to tell you all 
the effects of this particular 

86
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:54,000
go word because our I'm a little
too in delegate. 

87
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,800
I'm a little to delegate to do 
that and some of these things 

88
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,600
would be a little in delegate. 
So Not going to express them to 

89
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:07,200
you, but one of the side effects
of this gourd was they were 

90
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:12,300
extremely bitter and you could 
know you had something bad when 

91
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:15,800
you took a taste of it because 
it was extremely bitter. 

92
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,200
And while they were eating all 
of a sudden these boys just 

93
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,900
realized we've got something on 
our hands here that we better 

94
00:05:22,900 --> 00:05:25,800
take care of. 
And they cried out that man of 

95
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,000
God. 
There's nothing to pop those 

96
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,600
different apart. 
And he said, well just take it 

97
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,300
easy and he went in there and 
put meal in it. 

98
00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:38,200
The Bible says now don't know 
what healing effect meal has on 

99
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,200
it. 
Maybe it diluting some of the 

100
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,500
bitterness and maybe some of the
poison and the other effects, 

101
00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:46,700
but of course, we believe that 
was a miracle raw in the thing. 

102
00:05:46,700 --> 00:05:51,600
Anyway, and they save the 
pottage they save the food and 

103
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,000
everybody seemed to eat and have
just a plenty of that day. 

104
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,100
You know, I think there's a 
lesson in that may seem a little

105
00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:01,500
humorous to us in some places. 
But I think there's a lesson in 

106
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:05,500
this sermon and I'm going to 
mention it to you tonight. 

107
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,100
There's a dearth in the land 
today. 

108
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:15,800
A famine in the land, a famine 
of, not food and water, but Amos

109
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,500
says the name estate and lemon. 
Behold the day's come. 

110
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:22,700
Saith, the Lord God, that I will
send a famine in the land. 

111
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,900
Not a famine of bread, nor a 
thirst for water, but of hearing

112
00:06:26,900 --> 00:06:30,300
the word of the Lord. 
Now, ladies and gentlemen, if 

113
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:33,100
that time hasn't come, I dread 
to see it. 

114
00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:37,500
Come, I believe there's a famine
in the land today are hearing 

115
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,600
the word of the Lord. 
Now, we've got lots of preaching

116
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,000
going on today, probably more 
than has ever been in all the 

117
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,600
history of the world. 
Probably more than people can 

118
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,400
ever remember. 
We've got more Bible schools 

119
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,300
with preachers, going to Bible 
schools. 

120
00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:55,300
We've got more ministers here 
and there across the land. 

121
00:06:55,300 --> 00:06:59,600
We've got more universities, but
we've got less of Truth and 

122
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:04,200
probably we've ever had, I said 
the less of the truth because 

123
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,800
men are not taking the truth 
today. 

124
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,100
There's a lot of preaching going
on but not the word of the Lord.

125
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:13,500
There's a doctor's and 
Commandments being preached 

126
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:15,600
today and it's damning the souls
of men. 

127
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,700
It's poison and it's poisonous 
to the people in second, Timothy

128
00:07:19,700 --> 00:07:22,700
4:1. 
And for the Apostle, Paul said 

129
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:26,500
to people of our day, I charge 
thee, therefore, before God and 

130
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:29,300
the Lord Jesus Christ who shall 
judge the quick and the The dead

131
00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:32,700
at his appearing and his 
kingdom, preach the word be 

132
00:07:32,700 --> 00:07:37,100
instant in season and out of 
season reprove rebuke, exhort 

133
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:39,000
with all long-suffering and 
Doctrine. 

134
00:07:39,100 --> 00:07:42,800
By the time will come here. 
It is when they will not endure 

135
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,300
sound Doctrine. 
But after their own lusts, shall

136
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:48,900
they Heap to themselves teachers
having itching ears, and they 

137
00:07:48,900 --> 00:07:51,900
shall turn away their ears from 
the truth and shall be turned 

138
00:07:51,900 --> 00:07:54,300
unto fables. 
So, a state to youth as a 

139
00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:58,800
famine, in the land today of 
hearing the word of the Lord, as

140
00:07:59,100 --> 00:08:02,100
Sorry, there's lots of preaching
going on, lots of religion. 

141
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:05,200
But a famine are really hearing 
the truth. 

142
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:08,200
Well, you know, there's a famine
of a lot of things going on 

143
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,600
today. 
Besides this. 

144
00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:15,000
We find that there's a famine of
morality in the world today to 

145
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:18,900
if a person to 50 years ago, 
could come back to this world 

146
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,600
and view the Society of our day.
They would certainly have a 

147
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,200
shock. 
I will tell you the dress, the 

148
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,700
conduct the malls are this 
generation. 

149
00:08:28,900 --> 00:08:33,400
What absolutely overwhelmed. 
The people the looseness of 

150
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,500
malls in our day is absolutely 
appalling. 

151
00:08:37,500 --> 00:08:42,100
We have adultery fornication, 
all types of sin, all kinds of 

152
00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:44,300
wickedness. 
We've always had that. 

153
00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:47,000
Somebody might say, well, that 
is, what do you so stirred up 

154
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000
about? 
We've always had that. 

155
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,100
Yes, we've always had that but 
different today. 

156
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,700
One time a fellow down in 
Wichita Falls, Texas, ask me. 

157
00:08:55,700 --> 00:08:58,100
Oh Lord. 
He said, what do you think about

158
00:08:58,100 --> 00:09:00,300
the church today? 
In the church, the way it used 

159
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:02,600
to be. 
How is it compared with you that

160
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,800
I said? 
Well, I'll give you a little 

161
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,600
comparison about it. 
We've always had problems. 

162
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,200
Now. 
Let's just take women's hair for

163
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,900
instance. 
Now, just for instance, women 

164
00:09:13,900 --> 00:09:18,000
have always cut their hair. 
We preached against it. 

165
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:22,100
The Bible teaches against it. 
We know it's wrong, but sisters 

166
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:26,000
have always done it. 
But the difference in then, and 

167
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,900
now, he is back under years ago.
When sisters did it, they knew 

168
00:09:29,900 --> 00:09:32,900
they were doing wrong and most 
of them would admit they were 

169
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:35,800
doing it wrong. 
But today they do it and try to 

170
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,500
justify it to do this today. 
They do it and try to tell you. 

171
00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:43,500
So I write and go to Bible, try 
to prove it to you and not only 

172
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:46,800
that some preacher will come 
along in the Church of Christ. 

173
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,900
And so now uncut ones at that 
and we'll go to trying to tell 

174
00:09:50,900 --> 00:09:52,700
you that, it's all right to do 
that. 

175
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,900
Vacuum the people of always 
going around dressing scantily, 

176
00:09:58,700 --> 00:10:02,600
but people disapproved of it in 
old and days wearing men's 

177
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,500
clothes, women word me and 
Scrolls and me and wearing 

178
00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:09,400
women's clothes, and the likes 
that's always been. 

179
00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:12,400
But back there people found the 
phone. 

180
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:15,000
But today, it's approved and 
it's a planet. 

181
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,200
Even, I tell you there's a 
famine in the land. 

182
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:23,000
Of morality. 
Like I was talking to one of the

183
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,100
brothers before church, we've 
never had a day just like we've 

184
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:31,500
got today in our lives in the 
lifetime of our ancestors. 

185
00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:35,200
Now, there's been a time in the 
history of the world as bad as 

186
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,200
we've got it today. 
Back Yonder in olden, times in 

187
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,100
Bible times were just as bad 
maybe even worse. 

188
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,100
If you'll read some of these 
situations, it's described here 

189
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:49,500
in the Bible. 
But in in our, in our days and 

190
00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:52,500
in our scope, it's never been 
this bad before. 

191
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,500
For instance. 
People have always committed 

192
00:10:56,500 --> 00:11:01,300
immoralities. 
But people didn't approve of it.

193
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:03,800
They approve of it. 
Now. 

194
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:08,700
People always committed various 
things, the government even 

195
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:11,200
sanctions, it, the government 
allows it. 

196
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,300
We've got people today, killing 
babies by the millions, that's 

197
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:20,800
murder, downright, pure murder 
and the government approves of 

198
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,200
it. 
In many instances, the 

199
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,400
government justifies it and even
legalizes. 

200
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,500
It, no, there's never been a 
time. 

201
00:11:28,500 --> 00:11:32,000
Just like we got today. 
There's a famine in the land. 

202
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,900
Morality, and you can be assured
of it. 

203
00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:38,900
Matthew, 19 and 9. 
The Bible says whosoever shall 

204
00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:43,500
put away his wife except it be 
for fornication and shall marry 

205
00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:48,900
another committeth adultery and 
whoso, marrieth her which is put

206
00:11:48,900 --> 00:11:54,200
away committed adultery. 
That's plain Bible. 

207
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,800
Now. 
There's no way of getting and 

208
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,800
panning around that, that's 
viable, but we have that winked 

209
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,800
at today. 
We have people trying to justify

210
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,600
that today. 
We have people trying to explain

211
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:13,300
it away today, but there's no 
way of getting around it, and of

212
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:17,900
course, divorce and adultery. 
And fornication is so apparent 

213
00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:20,800
today. 
And so prevalent today, till you

214
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,400
almost a fool to Crying out and 
you crying out against it. 

215
00:12:27,100 --> 00:12:29,000
There's a famine of honesty 
today. 

216
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,300
In other days, a man's word was 
his bond. 

217
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,400
Sometimes men would shake hands 
on the situation. 

218
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,700
But sometimes it didn't even 
have to do that. 

219
00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:43,900
If a man told you something he 
didn't have to be such. 

220
00:12:43,900 --> 00:12:48,500
So so piously religious, he was 
just playing honesty back in 

221
00:12:48,500 --> 00:12:51,600
those days. 
If a man told you something you 

222
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,900
could depend on that now, there 
had to be some kind of very, 

223
00:12:55,900 --> 00:13:00,900
very great circumstances that 
made that even very a change. 

224
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:06,200
But today's honesty is scarce 
and there's a famine in the 

225
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,200
land. 
For Pure simple, plain honesty 

226
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,000
today, over in the Bible. 
We read such passages as 

227
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Proverbs 23 and 23. 
That says buy the truth and sell

228
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,100
it not. 
It is such a valuable thing to 

229
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:24,200
be a truthful person till you 
accept it. 

230
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,800
You grasp it, you get it at all 
cost and you never, never let 

231
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,800
that go. 
Just plain. 

232
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,600
A now, old-fashioned simple 
honesty that nobody has to 

233
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,800
explain nor defined, everyone 
knows what that is. 

234
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:41,400
We're taught that from our youth
up by our Godly Parents. 

235
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,200
But in the world today, you have
to watch it real close and 

236
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,700
sometimes people get such a 
desire and a love for filthy 

237
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:52,000
lucre and for advantages. 
And privileges today, and 

238
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,200
accumulations today, till they 
start tipping the scales in 

239
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,600
their favor. 
They start adding a little bit 

240
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,600
on here and there. 
In their favor, you know what I 

241
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,400
read. 
What old dr. 

242
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,500
Adam Clark, the Methodist 
commentator said about that in 

243
00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:11,400
Colossians 1. 
He said Li not one to another I 

244
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,200
just turned over there and read 
and I it's almost amusing the 

245
00:14:14,208 --> 00:14:17,300
way they'll gentlemen writes 
about it back Yonder in the year

246
00:14:17,300 --> 00:14:20,300
18 and 14, but it's not any 
different. 

247
00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:23,800
Listen to what he says. 
Do not deceive each other speak 

248
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,600
the truth. 
In all your dealings, do not say

249
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:32,000
my goods or so and so when you 
know them to be otherwise I do 

250
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,700
not under value the goods of 
your neighbor. 

251
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,000
When your convenience, when your
conscience rather tells you that

252
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,300
you are not speaking the truth. 
It is not, it is not, it is not 

253
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,500
says the buyer but afterwards, 
he boasted. 

254
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,900
He underwrites. 
His neighbor's property, till he

255
00:14:50,900 --> 00:14:55,100
gets it. 
Does that ring a bell? 

256
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,300
I believe that rings a bell in 
1997. 

257
00:14:59,700 --> 00:15:03,100
I believe it's just about as 
true today as it was in night 18

258
00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:06,200
and 14. 
I hear bredrin sit around. 

259
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,900
Sometimes they don't realize 
this but they'll say around and 

260
00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:13,400
laugh and boost over how they 
build a good deal over on 

261
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,200
somebody else. 
Would it was pure dishonesty 

262
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:22,100
right at the bottom of it? 
There's death in that there's a 

263
00:15:22,108 --> 00:15:26,500
famine in the land. 
Well, yes, I say there's a 

264
00:15:26,508 --> 00:15:31,400
famine in the land upon payment 
of all these things in other 

265
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,200
days. 
This I like I said, it was some 

266
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,500
different but you know, I want 
to go home with our story. 

267
00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:41,200
Like the prophets of old men of 
this day are sweating into the 

268
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,900
doctrine pot, the poisonous 
gourds of error and evil. 

269
00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:49,400
And a drawing out this hell 
broth to fill the bellies. 

270
00:15:49,700 --> 00:15:52,400
Spiritual bellies of people 
today. 

271
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:58,300
You know, we've got to check 
today, to see what the truth is.

272
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,600
We've got to make certain that 
we are not imbibing, the soul 

273
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:09,300
damning food because all 
religious food must be tried and

274
00:16:09,300 --> 00:16:15,200
we were in our own rights when 
we try the teaching that's being

275
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,900
given to us from the pulpit. 
We've been told to do that 

276
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,300
because it's so Danny and 
there's death. 

277
00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:28,000
It is spiritual death. 
Much more severe Than Physical 

278
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,500
death. 
I want you to note what job says

279
00:16:30,500 --> 00:16:35,400
in 34 and three. 
He says private ear tried words 

280
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,400
as the mouth tasted meat. 
Jesus said, believe not every 

281
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,400
Spirit, but try the spirits 
whether they be of God. 

282
00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:46,500
Now. 
This is how we're going to taste

283
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:50,300
test our food today that comes 
out of the doctrine pot. 

284
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:52,200
We're going to try it with our 
ear. 

285
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:56,200
Instead of tasting it with our 
mouth, the profits back there 

286
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,000
had to taste it physically. 
We hear it today. 

287
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,700
And that's the way we tasted. 
That's the way we know that's 

288
00:17:01,700 --> 00:17:05,400
how we know, whether it's the 
truth or not because Jesus says,

289
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,800
warned us to try every spirit 
and make certain that they be of

290
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,400
God. 
Matthew 5 and 6 says blessed. 

291
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,800
Are they that do hunger and 
thirst after righteousness? 

292
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,300
Oh, yes, for they shall be 
filled. 

293
00:17:18,300 --> 00:17:21,099
We want the food. 
We need the food. 

294
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,900
We want the truth out. 
The truth part out of the 

295
00:17:23,900 --> 00:17:27,700
doctrine pop, so to speak, but 
we wanted to be the truth and 

296
00:17:27,700 --> 00:17:31,100
not something that's poisonous. 
Not something that's bad, not 

297
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:36,200
something that's going to be 
sold, damning to us integrate by

298
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,900
and by. 
Well, there are things to be 

299
00:17:37,900 --> 00:17:43,100
dipped out of the death part 
tonight, and we need to be very 

300
00:17:43,100 --> 00:17:45,800
careful about them. 
But some of these things we 

301
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,200
would know. 
Anyway, we'll do is one dip of 

302
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,100
pottage that people are being 
fed on today. 

303
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,000
Anyway, we'll do, can't anybody 
in the world? 

304
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,700
See that? 
That's an effort of the devil to

305
00:17:57,700 --> 00:18:00,000
circumvent. 
The teaching of God's word. 

306
00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:04,000
Jesus has told us in. 
No uncertain terms that we must 

307
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,500
obey his Commandments. 
Now that word. 

308
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:09,200
Obey is the Forgotten word of 
this generation. 

309
00:18:09,700 --> 00:18:13,000
The word obey if you were to 
check out the English language 

310
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,900
and of all the blank board, you 
may find the word. 

311
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:19,000
Obey is the Forgotten word of 
our times. 

312
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,000
But your parents don't make the 
children. 

313
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,600
Obey like they ought to in many 
respects teachers can't make 

314
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,600
their students. 
Obey the law officers. 

315
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:33,100
Had a hard time making people 
obey and and I respect the law 

316
00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:37,800
and people won't obey, God. 
They never have the old song 

317
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,600
says, so beautifully, but we 
never can prove the Delight of 

318
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,300
his love until all on the altar.
We lay for the favor. 

319
00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:47,400
He shows in the grace. 
He bestows are for all who will 

320
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,800
trust and Obey, you know, that's
a third. 

321
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,100
Pounds of that song how we 
sometimes? 

322
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:55,100
People would leave out the 
second stanza and then lead the 

323
00:18:55,100 --> 00:18:58,400
third, as I sometimes say, I'd 
rather be anything. 

324
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,300
But the third stanza for stands 
the song, cause I don't have to 

325
00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:04,700
say that here. 
I don't think and in a few more 

326
00:19:04,700 --> 00:19:08,700
places, but I'll tell you right 
now, obedience is the Forgotten 

327
00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:13,000
Word of Our Generation, but we 
must obey. 

328
00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:18,000
And Jesus tells us that call you
me, Lord Lord, and do not the 

329
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,500
things which I say, Jesus said, 
blessed, are they, that do are 

330
00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:26,200
rather, the Apostle says 
blessed, are they that do his 

331
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,200
Commandments that they may have 
right to the tree of life and 

332
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,600
may enter in through the gates, 
into the city. 

333
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,100
Jesus said, whosoever heareth, 
these sayings of mine and doeth 

334
00:19:36,100 --> 00:19:38,400
them him. 
And I can do a wise man who 

335
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,400
built his house upon the rock 
and the rains come and the 

336
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,400
floods descend and the winds 
blow and beat the phone it in. 

337
00:19:45,408 --> 00:19:47,600
The phone's not which founded 
upon a rock. 

338
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,600
That's a, that's a description 
of On obeying the Lord. 

339
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,900
That's what he's put their far. 
It's not the building code for 

340
00:19:54,900 --> 00:19:58,500
the Carpenters, but it's to show
you the importance of obeying, 

341
00:19:58,500 --> 00:20:01,800
the Lord. 
Now the devil knows that and if 

342
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,000
the devil can circumvent that 
and get people to understand 

343
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,200
that they don't have to do what 
God says. 

344
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:10,600
He's got them in spiritual 
death. 

345
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:17,300
So he's ladling out to us today.
The doctrine of this particular 

346
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,100
pottage that we have. 
This is a We accepted pottage 

347
00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:24,200
the world is feeding on to its 
own destruction, death and 

348
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,500
death. 
Only can be the spiritual end of

349
00:20:26,500 --> 00:20:28,700
it. 
It makes a difference, it made, 

350
00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:31,600
you know, it makes any 
difference in society. 

351
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:35,500
What you do it makes a great 
difference in the feel of 

352
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:38,200
mathematics in the answer that 
you get. 

353
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,200
And it makes a difference in 
religion, to the Bible says, 

354
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,700
there is a way that seemeth, 
right unto a man, but the end 

355
00:20:45,700 --> 00:20:49,600
thereof are the ways of death. 
Now, we don't want to be going. 

356
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:53,500
Going along by just what seemed 
right and what might appear, 

357
00:20:53,500 --> 00:20:55,300
right? 
We wouldn't do that. 

358
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,100
About a deed to our property. 
We wouldn't do that about some 

359
00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:02,800
valuable papers. 
Some possessions of ours we 

360
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,300
would get the best lawyer. 
We know we would have him to dig

361
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:10,200
into that and check into that 
and find out its legality and 

362
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,500
know that it's absolutely 
verified before we would even 

363
00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:16,600
put our money and make an 
investment in it, but people 

364
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,900
will blindly go along today and 
let folks did. up out all kinds 

365
00:21:20,900 --> 00:21:26,200
of doctors and they'll just golf
it down as if a As if it 

366
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,800
matters, not at all. 
Well, another thing that matters

367
00:21:30,500 --> 00:21:33,600
men are rather the doctrines, 
the Commandments of men. 

368
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,800
Now say that man would have done
everything different from the 

369
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,000
way that God did it. 
If he had been making this plan.

370
00:21:42,900 --> 00:21:46,700
I say a man had been making our 
Plan of Salvation. 

371
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,300
He would have done everything 
different from the way it is. 

372
00:21:50,300 --> 00:21:53,200
In this book right here. 
I say that because you try and 

373
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,000
do it. 
Anyway, you tell. 

374
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,500
One thing that man hasn't tried 
to change. 

375
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,400
Jesus has told us that the 
doctrines and Commandments of 

376
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,800
million are dangerous and 
they're sold aiming now. 

377
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,400
Jesus are rather. 
Isaiah. 

378
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,400
The prophet said, my thoughts 
are not your thoughts. 

379
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:12,500
Saith. 
The Lord, neither. 

380
00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:16,000
Am, I ways your ways for as the 
heavens are higher than the 

381
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,200
earth. 
So, are my ways higher than your

382
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,600
ways and my thoughts than your 
thoughts. 

383
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,800
And if you think it makes no 
difference, you'll go over and 

384
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,500
have a talk with Kane. 
Kane. 

385
00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:29,300
You talked to brother Kane about
his problem. 

386
00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:31,300
He'll tell you, it made a 
difference. 

387
00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:36,700
Now, God had arranged for men to
offer up sacrifices to him. 

388
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:41,100
Now though this was done because
over in the Hebrew letter. 

389
00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:44,500
The writer says by faith, Abel 
offered unto God, a more, 

390
00:22:44,500 --> 00:22:48,800
excellent sacrifice than Cain, 
their faith cometh by hearing 

391
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,700
and hearing by the word of the 
Lord. 

392
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:55,300
So I know that he is information
about doing that. 

393
00:22:55,300 --> 00:22:58,700
Sacrifice correctly, came from a
message from the lord. 

394
00:22:58,700 --> 00:23:03,100
It's not recorded in this book 
as to when it came but it came. 

395
00:23:03,500 --> 00:23:06,600
And if you want to know what my 
conjecture is about it, I 

396
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,900
believe that it can And when 
they were put out of the Garden 

397
00:23:08,900 --> 00:23:13,700
of Eden, the first thing that 
was ever killed in this world 

398
00:23:13,700 --> 00:23:19,500
was an animal and they use the 
coats to make the skin rather to

399
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:21,600
make coats. 
I didn't think that through that

400
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,700
animal way. 
I think that animal was offered 

401
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:27,400
up as a sacrifice. 
I don't think God would have 

402
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:28,900
just gone out and killed an 
animal. 

403
00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:31,500
Just get skin off of it to make 
Adam a coat. 

404
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:36,000
I don't believe that I believe 
there's the first sacrifice then

405
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000
somewhere. 
These boys, were taught the 

406
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,800
right way. 
Now know that, where else he 

407
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,200
couldn't have offered it by 
faith. 

408
00:23:43,900 --> 00:23:46,700
You don't offer Thing by faith, 
unless it comes from God. 

409
00:23:47,300 --> 00:23:52,300
So he offered it by faith. 
Cain did not offer it by faith 

410
00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:55,700
and Cain was cursed. 
That's what the record tells. 

411
00:23:55,900 --> 00:24:00,300
Us in God's blessed book any 
through in Ephesians 3 & 4, how 

412
00:24:00,300 --> 00:24:04,000
that by Revelation, see, made 
known unto me, this mystery, as 

413
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,200
I wrote a poem. 
Few words, whereby, when you 

414
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,500
read, you may understand my 
knowledge in the mystery of 

415
00:24:08,500 --> 00:24:10,700
Christ. 
Now, read that to show you that 

416
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:13,900
we can understand. 
We can understand. 

417
00:24:14,300 --> 00:24:17,200
I talk to people all the time 
and people say, you know, I just

418
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,600
can't understand the Bible. 
They'll get some mystery novel 

419
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,700
to sit down there and figure it 
out before they even get to. 

420
00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:24,500
The end of it. 
Are. 

421
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,100
Are you okay? 
Ain't want your program on TV, 

422
00:24:27,100 --> 00:24:29,400
but what they'll go to try and 
tell you the end of it before 

423
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,100
you get to it. 
They're pretty sharp. 

424
00:24:31,100 --> 00:24:33,500
But when it comes to the Bible, 
they can't understand anything. 

425
00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:38,800
They claim Paul says you can. 
And power said, I wrote it down 

426
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,200
in a few words, whereby when you
read it. 

427
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,500
You got to stand this mystery. 
That's come down. 

428
00:24:43,900 --> 00:24:45,600
I believe people can understand 
it. 

429
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,700
I know they can understand it, 
if I can understand it. 

430
00:24:48,700 --> 00:24:50,700
I know they can. 
Well. 

431
00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:56,400
Colossians 2, and 8 says, beware
lest any man. 

432
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,000
Spoil you, through philosophy 
and vain deceit after the 

433
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,900
rudiments of the world and not 
after Christ. 

434
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,700
Colossians 2, 20, and 21, says, 
wear for work. 

435
00:25:05,700 --> 00:25:09,700
If you did with Christ from the 
rudiments of the world, why as 

436
00:25:09,700 --> 00:25:12,400
though living in the world, are 
you subject to ordinances 

437
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,800
lesson? 
Now, back to our analogy of 

438
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,000
tasting Foods Year back to our 
picture, back to our parallel 

439
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,300
touch now wrapped a snot. 
He said, handle not. 

440
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,400
Coach perish with are using 
after the doctrines command. 

441
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,400
It's a million. 
Don't taste it if it's wrong. 

442
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,600
He not only says don't imbibe 
it. 

443
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,000
Just don't taste. 
It just don't have anything to 

444
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,100
do with it. 
You know, I have a believe. 

445
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:40,500
I have is greater respect for 
Great Men as the next one. 

446
00:25:40,900 --> 00:25:44,000
And if I hadn't been warned in 
God's word to follow me in out 

447
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,500
of been, one of the biggest 
follows of Great Men That Ever 

448
00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:48,800
Walked because I admire Great 
Men. 

449
00:25:48,900 --> 00:25:50,900
I like to read about them. 
I like to read their 

450
00:25:50,900 --> 00:25:53,600
biographies. 
I read biographies all the time.

451
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,300
Teach you a lot of things but 
you know that can go only so 

452
00:25:56,300 --> 00:25:58,800
far. 
Paul said, be you follow us 

453
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,900
together of me. 
Even as I also am of Christ. 

454
00:26:01,900 --> 00:26:05,500
First Corinthians 11 and 1. 
Paul didn't expect anybody to 

455
00:26:05,500 --> 00:26:08,700
follow him when he wasn't 
following Christ and I don't 

456
00:26:08,700 --> 00:26:11,900
care how Parish your preacher 
is, doesn't matter to me how 

457
00:26:11,900 --> 00:26:16,000
educated he is or how renowned 
to you is when that man stops 

458
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,500
falling Christ. 
You are treading on Dangerous 

459
00:26:19,500 --> 00:26:24,700
Ground if you follow him steal. 
And that's what we're taught. 

460
00:26:24,900 --> 00:26:27,400
No wonder then Jeremiah. 
The prophet said, O Lord. 

461
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,100
I know the way of man is not in 
himself for it is not in man 

462
00:26:31,100 --> 00:26:32,900
that walketh to direct his 
steps. 

463
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,500
We want to notice. 
Now, some of the Commandments of

464
00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:39,200
men, I say this because they 
cannot be found some of the 

465
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,300
Commandments of men because it 
can't be found in the teachings 

466
00:26:42,300 --> 00:26:46,200
of God's blessed and holy word. 
And these are things that come 

467
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,800
out of the doctrine, part of the
devil. 

468
00:26:48,900 --> 00:26:53,100
If we're not very careful 
conscience, as a true. 

469
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,300
I'd sometimes people still today
are mixed up on this business of

470
00:26:57,300 --> 00:26:59,300
conscience. 
People told me, well, you know, 

471
00:26:59,300 --> 00:27:02,400
I just believe if you follow 
your conscience, you can't 

472
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,800
follow your conscience, the 
Apostle Paul following his 

473
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,800
conscience, and he was wrong. 
He said men and Brethren. 

474
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,400
I have lived in all good 
conscience before God, and to 

475
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,000
this day, and he was killing 
people. 

476
00:27:13,100 --> 00:27:16,600
He was persecuting the Church of
God at that time, but when he 

477
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,600
saw, he was wrong, he would 
change that. 

478
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,100
I don't blame anybody for being 
wrong till they know they're 

479
00:27:21,100 --> 00:27:23,500
wrong. 
You can't blame anybody for 

480
00:27:23,500 --> 00:27:25,200
being wrong till they learn the 
truth. 

481
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Maybe that the wrong is on us, 
for not teaching them. 

482
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,100
But I do blame people when they 
see the truth and won't accept 

483
00:27:33,100 --> 00:27:35,200
it. 
People are not real honest. 

484
00:27:35,300 --> 00:27:37,700
They're not honest with God. 
They're not honest with 

485
00:27:37,700 --> 00:27:40,200
themselves. 
When they see the truth and they

486
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,600
see they're wrong and they won't
make a change. 

487
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,300
When you make a change tonight, 
at you knew you were wrong about

488
00:27:45,300 --> 00:27:48,400
something. 
Sometimes we just discovered has

489
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,300
any people because sometimes 
we're wrong on some things. 

490
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,000
But I believe we were just too 
stubborn sometimes, as other 

491
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,200
people Paul said I barely felt 
within myself that I like to do 

492
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,400
many things. 
Contrary to the name of Jesus, 

493
00:28:00,900 --> 00:28:05,200
procrastination is another thing
that the devil is dipping out of

494
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,800
the doctrine pot and pooling the
men men of this day. 

495
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,900
With Paul says in Hebrews 3 and 
15 today. 

496
00:28:12,900 --> 00:28:16,700
If you will hear his voice 
Harden, not your hearts, we're 

497
00:28:16,700 --> 00:28:21,400
taught to not procrastinate, 
defer of things and put them all

498
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:24,500
not to do. 
At, but we're taught to do it 

499
00:28:24,500 --> 00:28:28,700
today while we have the 
opportunity, James 4 and 13 

500
00:28:28,700 --> 00:28:31,100
says, go to. 
Now, you that say today, or 

501
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:33,300
tomorrow. 
We will go into such a city and 

502
00:28:33,300 --> 00:28:36,500
continue their year and buy and 
sell and get gain for. 

503
00:28:36,500 --> 00:28:39,500
What is your life is? 
Even a vapor that appears for a 

504
00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:41,700
little time and then vanisheth 
away. 

505
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:46,600
So our breath is in God's hand. 
You reading the book of Daniel. 

506
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,600
That's what old Daniel told. 
That King when he stood before. 

507
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,200
Oh King. 
I'm serving God. 

508
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,600
In whose hand your breath is. 
Our breath, is in the hands of 

509
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,100
God. 
It's not in our hand. 

510
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,700
We can't say how long we're 
going to live. 

511
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,600
We can't say what we're going to
do. 

512
00:29:02,900 --> 00:29:06,800
James says, it's a good thing, 
just to say, if the Lord Wills, 

513
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,800
if the Lord Wills, because we 
don't know, you've never been 

514
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,100
told anywhere in the Bible to 
put off anything till tomorrow, 

515
00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:16,400
but you've been told to do it 
today. 

516
00:29:16,900 --> 00:29:19,600
That's what we've been told to 
do night, cometh. 

517
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,200
When no man can work said Jesus 
Christ, when he was born. 

518
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,200
People about immediately being 
about their duties. 

519
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:31,100
Accomplishing their work, do it 
now because night cometh, when 

520
00:29:31,100 --> 00:29:35,700
no man can work, when our 
Labor's must cease, we must be 

521
00:29:35,700 --> 00:29:39,300
prepared before night because of
the darkness, I'm death of 

522
00:29:39,300 --> 00:29:42,600
death, darkness is always a 
symbol of that. 

523
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,400
It's wrong that it's bad. 
That it's that fits all sad. 

524
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,700
That's it's discouraging. 
That's evil. 

525
00:29:49,300 --> 00:29:55,300
That that's wicked damnation. 
I take a chill sometimes when I 

526
00:29:55,700 --> 00:29:58,300
read the account of the last 
supper. 

527
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:03,900
And when we are told in there, 
that Judas made that final dip 

528
00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:07,400
in the pot and Jesus turned and 
looked at him and said, said to 

529
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:13,600
him, that thou doest do quickly.
And he arose from their walked 

530
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,100
out that door, shut the door 
behind him. 

531
00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:19,700
And the record says this was 
such brevity, but with such 

532
00:30:19,700 --> 00:30:25,800
power and it was night. 
That just chills you right down 

533
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:32,700
to your spine and it was night. 
This, we certainly agree that 

534
00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:36,700
there's something very, very 
interesting about that. 

535
00:30:36,700 --> 00:30:40,300
You know, that was so 
interesting to me till I know 

536
00:30:40,300 --> 00:30:42,600
what some of the commentators 
said about it. 

537
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:47,800
Mr. Meyer said this conclusion. 
I rather this conclusion of the 

538
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:52,500
narrative, respecting Judas, 
presents unsolved, something 

539
00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:56,500
full of Horror. 
And which precisely in the most 

540
00:30:56,500 --> 00:31:01,100
simple and simple brevity of 
expression takes profoundest, 

541
00:31:01,100 --> 00:31:06,600
hold of the imagination healed, 
the weird force of it. 

542
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,100
This is your hour and the power 
of Darkness. 

543
00:31:10,300 --> 00:31:15,300
All Ford says, I feel with Myers
that there is something powerful

544
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:20,000
in this termination. 
We know it was just speaking 

545
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,600
about the physical Darkness 
outside, but I wasn't only 

546
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,000
physical Darkness. 
It was flooding over the heart 

547
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,700
of that man. 
When he walked out and close the

548
00:31:28,700 --> 00:31:32,000
light of that room out of his 
eyes. 

549
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:37,200
He also close the light of 
eternal life out of his heart. 

550
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,700
And so, does everyone else when 
they Dash aside? 

551
00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:46,500
The offers of Jesus Christ from 
day to day and from time to 

552
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:51,000
time, we All be very, very 
careful and not let the devil 

553
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,800
deceive Us by giving us a cup of
this party. 

554
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,600
Jin telling us. 
You're all right, wait till 

555
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,300
tomorrow, wait till next week. 
Wait, till the next Revival 

556
00:32:00,300 --> 00:32:02,800
comes along, then you can obey 
the gospel. 

557
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,600
That's all right. 
For you to do that. 

558
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,400
We need to have Jesus with us 
when the Night Comes and the 

559
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,700
nights coming, ladies and 
gentlemen, whoever you are. 

560
00:32:12,700 --> 00:32:16,700
Whoever you be, it will be 
night, and we're going to need 

561
00:32:16,700 --> 00:32:21,000
him with us. 
Over there in the narrative, 

562
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,800
concerning the resurrection of 
Jesus. 

563
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:27,400
When these two disciples were 
walking toward Emmaus. 

564
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,100
You know how Jesus journeyed 
along with him and they walked 

565
00:32:32,100 --> 00:32:35,400
along this way, the way didn't 
seem quite so long. 

566
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,600
The hills didn't seem quite so 
heat hide. 

567
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,700
That is so deep. 
As long as Jesus was walking 

568
00:32:41,700 --> 00:32:44,200
with them and pretty soon. 
They realized they had reached 

569
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,500
their home. 
The Bible said Jesus made as 

570
00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:50,100
though he would go on. 
Jesus says, I've said earlier is

571
00:32:50,100 --> 00:32:52,200
a gentleman. 
He never imposes himself upon 

572
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,800
anyone. 
You've got to asking he made as 

573
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,600
though he would go on, but they 
look and they said abide with 

574
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:00,800
us. 
Now. 

575
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,500
The reason they said this was 
because today he attended the 

576
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:07,400
sun was setting in the west and 
they had to face another night 

577
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,500
without Jesus because they 
didn't know who this man was, 

578
00:33:10,900 --> 00:33:13,600
but they do anything. 
He came the nearest to filling 

579
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,900
their heart. 
Since Jesus said, gone, they 

580
00:33:15,900 --> 00:33:20,000
needed by that ever met yet. 
But their eyes were Homeland, 

581
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,600
and they didn't know him abide 
with us or just toward evening. 

582
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:30,300
And the night is at hand, and 
the Bible says he went in to 

583
00:33:30,300 --> 00:33:34,000
abide with him. 
Well, the evening is going to 

584
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,000
come for you and me one of these
days, the end of the roads going

585
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,800
to be reached. 
We're going to get down to the 

586
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,300
end of the trail. 
And the son of life is going to 

587
00:33:43,300 --> 00:33:47,400
set for us and we're going to 
need somebody, you can't cross 

588
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,300
that River by yourself. 
That's one of the things you 

589
00:33:50,300 --> 00:33:52,600
can't do in life. 
You're going to have to have a 

590
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,400
helper that nobody else can go 
with you. 

591
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,400
The trail through death is a 
narrow narrow Trail, you make it

592
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,300
single file, ladies and 
gentlemen, but there's only one 

593
00:34:00,300 --> 00:34:02,200
can go with you. 
That's Jesus Christ. 

594
00:34:02,700 --> 00:34:05,000
You must take Kim when that time
comes. 

595
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,900
We're living in a day when 
people are disregarding. 

596
00:34:08,900 --> 00:34:12,000
Holy things. 
As I've said there, legalizing 

597
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,100
all kinds of immorality, but 
they're disregarding. 

598
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:18,000
Holy things. 
The home is not being regarded 

599
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,900
today as it used to be. 
The home is not held up in 

600
00:34:21,900 --> 00:34:23,699
protecting. 
There's so much. 

601
00:34:23,699 --> 00:34:26,300
That's the lashing out against 
the home today. 

602
00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:31,400
The Lord's day is not protected,
like it used to be either. 

603
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,000
We're living in a commercialized
age and it looks like that we 

604
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,300
just have to have the things 
that we have, but I can remember

605
00:34:39,300 --> 00:34:43,199
the time when the horses graze 
the pasture land on Sunday, 

606
00:34:43,900 --> 00:34:47,500
tractor said in the shed. 
No Furrow was turned on Sunday. 

607
00:34:49,100 --> 00:34:51,699
And you want to know why we 
didn't get our guns and go down 

608
00:34:51,699 --> 00:34:53,300
in the woods and shoot 
squirrels. 

609
00:34:53,699 --> 00:34:57,100
You know why we didn't get out? 
Vishal can go to the creek. 

610
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,400
If you want a reason fart. 
We didn't have any better reason

611
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,700
than that. 
It was Sunday and in our home 

612
00:35:05,700 --> 00:35:09,400
that day was respected and 
honored and Christian people 

613
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,900
sometime defile the day just as 
much as anybody else. 

614
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,800
Like I said, I know we're living
in a time when it looks like 

615
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,400
that. 
We just can't bring ourselves 

616
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:22,700
down to give it all the It's do,
it are working systems and so 

617
00:35:22,700 --> 00:35:25,700
on. 
But today is not what it used to

618
00:35:25,700 --> 00:35:27,500
be. 
In the hearts of many people, 

619
00:35:27,500 --> 00:35:29,300
people. 
Don't regard the Bible like they

620
00:35:29,300 --> 00:35:32,000
used to today. 
It's a joke book. 

621
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,500
Too many people. 
People's parents are not honored

622
00:35:35,500 --> 00:35:36,900
today. 
Like, they used to be. 

623
00:35:37,500 --> 00:35:41,000
There's a scripture that says, 
honor thy father and thy mother,

624
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,300
that thy days may be long upon 
the Earth. 

625
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,000
There's death in the pot. 
When children disobey their 

626
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,100
parents, when children, 
dishonor, their parents, when 

627
00:35:50,100 --> 00:35:53,700
children treat their parents as 
old fogies. 

628
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,900
There's a breakdown in God's 
plan and God's system, when 

629
00:35:57,900 --> 00:35:59,500
that's the case and all the 
people. 

630
00:35:59,500 --> 00:36:02,300
I know who are worth a snap of 
my finger of people who have 

631
00:36:02,300 --> 00:36:05,100
always loved and honored their 
parents and even let it be 

632
00:36:05,100 --> 00:36:09,500
known. 
They were thankful for it and 

633
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:12,100
people who don't do that 
regardless of how religious they

634
00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:13,300
are. 
There's nothing to them. 

635
00:36:14,700 --> 00:36:18,400
The Bible says that even Jesus 
when he with the D age of twelve

636
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,800
went down and was subject unto 
his parents. 

637
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,100
That means, in our Southern way 
of talking, he minded them. 

638
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:26,800
He mind you them. 
That's what he did. 

639
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:32,000
He was respectful to them. 
People great people have always 

640
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:36,500
been people who honored and 
respected their families, their 

641
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:40,700
parents their home. 
I'm tempted to tell the story. 

642
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:48,300
I'll President McKinley. 
In 1879, President McKinley 

643
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:52,300
mother was sick down at the old 
home in Canton, Ohio. 

644
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,100
I was in Canton a few years ago.
Health meeting there. 

645
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,500
He was in Washington and she 
became very ill. 

646
00:37:01,500 --> 00:37:05,300
And he came down. 
He sat by her bedside as long as

647
00:37:05,300 --> 00:37:08,000
he possibly cool. 
She was very old. 

648
00:37:09,500 --> 00:37:13,200
He was very fond of his mother. 
In earlier days, the people 

649
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,800
could watch from their doors and
see that 54 year-old president 

650
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,800
and his aging mother walking 
down the Broad Streets of 

651
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,700
Canton, Ohio with her only 
ponies arm going to the church 

652
00:37:24,700 --> 00:37:28,500
on the corner where they had 
always met, but now she's very 

653
00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:34,400
critical. 
Affairs of State forced him away

654
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,300
from her bedside and Ruck 
reluctantly. 

655
00:37:37,300 --> 00:37:39,700
He pulled himself away and went 
back to Washington. 

656
00:37:40,900 --> 00:37:43,700
He ordered everybody to put the 
presidential train. 

657
00:37:43,700 --> 00:37:46,200
They didn't have jet. 
They didn't have Air Force to 

658
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,500
then, put the presidential 
trained under a full head of 

659
00:37:49,500 --> 00:37:51,700
steam and it's at there all the 
time waiting. 

660
00:37:53,100 --> 00:37:57,600
And he ordered a foam to be put 
from her room to his office, 

661
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,300
straight line. 
Finally, one morning, the word, 

662
00:38:01,300 --> 00:38:02,800
King. 
Mr. President. 

663
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:08,200
We think you'd better come. 
He jumped he wired back and 

664
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:12,900
said, Tell Mother I'll be there.
He jumped on that presidential 

665
00:38:12,900 --> 00:38:15,700
train, went crashing down 
through the country and got 

666
00:38:15,700 --> 00:38:17,500
there. 
A half hour before she died. 

667
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,600
He took that little form in his 
arms and held her there, till 

668
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,000
the Undertaker's had to tell 
you. 

669
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,400
Mr. President will have to take 
her now. 

670
00:38:28,300 --> 00:38:30,700
That doesn't diminish. 
My feelings for president again,

671
00:38:30,700 --> 00:38:33,000
because I don't think about his 
politics not who cares. 

672
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,300
Anything about the politics, but
when I see his name now, in a 

673
00:38:36,308 --> 00:38:39,400
book or anything, I always 
remember what a great man. 

674
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:43,400
He was. 
Down in Cincinnati, the next 

675
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,600
morning, the fieldwork brothers 
who are great, songwriter, sit 

676
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,000
down at their desk, and wrote a 
little song that you've all old 

677
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,600
people. 
Remember telling mother. 

678
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,300
I'll be there. 
And that was the story of. 

679
00:38:56,300 --> 00:38:58,700
That's how it ended in 
conclusion. 

680
00:38:58,900 --> 00:39:00,600
This evening. 
Ladies and gentlemen. 

681
00:39:02,700 --> 00:39:05,400
Are you sure of what you're 
feeding your phone? 

682
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,000
Spiritually. 
Are you sure? 

683
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,400
Tonight, that what you're 
feeding? 

684
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,400
Phone. 
Spiritually is the truth. 

685
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,200
Jesus said, You shall know the 
truth and the truth shall make 

686
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,800
you free. 
And until you obeyed the truth. 

687
00:39:19,500 --> 00:39:23,800
You will never be free. 
Am I talking to somebody who's 

688
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,000
never obeyed the gospel? 
Jesus, in the truth has 

689
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,600
commanded that you believe on 
him as the Son of God, that you 

690
00:39:30,900 --> 00:39:32,400
repent of your sins. 
You can. 

691
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:37,100
It's your faith in him and you 
submit to the Waters of baptism 

692
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:41,500
for the remission of your sins. 
If you've done that in somewhere

693
00:39:41,500 --> 00:39:44,400
down the line, you've grown cold
and indifferent to the Lord's, 

694
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,100
cause you can come back home. 
He's made that provision for 

695
00:39:48,100 --> 00:39:50,400
you. 
By repenting of your sins, 

696
00:39:50,700 --> 00:39:53,800
confessing your sins and 
praying, God for forgiveness. 

697
00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:56,600
He will welcome the prodigals 
back home. 

698
00:39:56,700 --> 00:39:59,800
He's calling the prodigals 
tonight from all over the land 

699
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,100
and this could be a great night 
for somebody. 

700
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,300
Who's not in touch with the 
Lord, like they ought to be come

701
00:40:05,300 --> 00:40:07,200
