Well, good morning to each of
you. It's absolutely great to see you. There are a lot of lessons
we learn in the valley. There really are. It's usually
not on the mountaintop that we learn deep things. It's in the
valley when the Lord comes down and makes His presence known
and lets us know that He's near. I don't want you to be discouraged
today. At first, this is going to maybe
seem like a bummer, but it's all good news. We win. We do not worship victory. We
worship God. There's a big difference. We're
more than conquerors through Christ who loved us. I want to
speak to you today on Malachi chapter 2. Malachi chapter 2. Then we're going to the book
of Jeremiah chapter 44. Malachi chapter 2. And verse
2, you are intelligent people. Sometimes this congregation is
looked down upon because we're inner city. We have everybody
who attends here, including the pastor, is an addict. We have
this addiction to sin. And sometimes we're looked upon
as hopeless, helpless, drug addicted, sinners, and that's pretty much
what we are. But we've been saved by the grace
of God. And simply because you have used drugs, one of the great
things about coming from crack to Christ is you get your mind
back. You become an intelligent thinking
person and stop to a great degree doing stupid stuff. So, I want
to reason with you. I want you to think. I want you
to mark in your Bible today's date. And what we talked about
to some degree. Malachi chapter two. If you will not hear verse two. And if you will not lay it to
heart to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts. I will
even send a curse upon you. And I will curse your blessings. 230 plus years America has been blessed. Our blessings are about to be
cursed. You can count on it. You can count on it. Yea, I have
cursed them already because you do not lay it to heart. Behold,
I will corrupt your seed, your children. They won't think right. They won't do right. They won't
live right. And spread dung upon your faces. I will not give a
literal interpretation of that, but you know what dung is. I'm going to put dung on your
face. Pretty humiliating. God is talking to the nation
here. And God is speaking to America.
I'm going to put dung on your face. You think you're something,
but you're not without Me. You're nothing. You never will
be anything without Me. Even the dung of your solemn
feast. In other words, your false religious
beliefs and services. I'm going to cause people to
see what they really are. Their dung on your face. And one shall take you away with
it. You're going to be taken away.
with dung on your face. What a humiliation. But God is
able to do that. And then in Jeremiah chapter
44, Jeremiah 44, verse 22, the weeping
prophet Jeremiah, so that the Lord could no longer bear. He
couldn't hold back. evil of your doings and because
of the abominations which you have committed. Therefore is
your land a desolation, deserted, desolate. It will be so desolate,
it will be an astonishment. It will absolutely be astonishing.
What's about to happen to America, everyone in here is going to
be astonished. I can't even imagine myself exactly. I have a quivering
and a fear for my country. I know what God can do. I mean,
God can take a little hurricane called Sandy. 77,000 people have not got heat or even
a house. Gas lines in a day. God's able
to do that. The most populous state and city. New York City. Who would ever
imagine that that city could be flooded? God's able to do
that. Those that walk in pride, God
is able to abase. Cursed is the nation that forgets
God. And you can't write blessed where
God writes a curse. And God is a stranger in America.
President Obama is right. This is not a Christian nation.
It is not. Ninety-seven percent of evangelical
African-American people voted for the most murderous president
with regard to abortion that this nation has ever known. Somebody
ought to say, man, it happened. Shame on every Christian. Shame
on you. And in the first service, we
had some reaction to that. And there'll probably be some
in this service as well. But remember, this is my house.
There's a prophet in town. I'm a messed up guy, but I'm
God's preacher. And I'm not going to back off
this. You need to find another church? If you can put your approval
on same-sex marriage and abortion and vote as a child of God washed
in the blood of Jesus Christ, shame on you! Shame on you! Because you have burned incense
and because you have sinned against the Lord and have not obeyed
the voice of the Lord, nor walked in His law, nor in His statutes,
nor in His testimonies, Therefore, this evil has happened unto you,
as at this day." All God has to do is to bring judgment on
this country, is to let you and I, as American citizens, do what
we want to do. And I say to you, my friends,
today, that President Obama is not the problem in America. You
who voted for him are the problem in America. Let's get it straight. Let's get it straight. Somebody
voted him in office. The question is, who's on the
Lord's side? Say, I don't like what you're saying, preacher.
Well, quietly and politely, if you must, go because there's
more to come. We can recover from four years
or eight years of President Obama. What we cannot recover from is
from Christian people who ought to know better. Amen. Don't back up on me now, church.
Some of you are with me on this. So, you know, yes, thank you. Shame on us. We let this happen. Some let it happen. I'm talking
about in the church. We let this happen. All right. Now, I want you to know this,
so you'll smile once more. I'm going to say serious stuff
and then try to make you grin a little bit. You know what? I haven't
canceled all my plans for the next few years. I still have
a smile on my face and sometime in the next few months or year
or so, I'm going to get hearing aids. I still got plans to do
that because I want to hear better. I mean, I still got plans. You know what I mean? I haven't
raised the white flag because President Obama won. I got victory
in Jesus. I win. You can't defeat me. I'm
more than a conqueror through Christ that loved me. I'm going
to get my teeth tapped. They're getting kind of yellowish
in my old age. I got plans. Don't give up your
plans. Don't be down. You're a child
of God. Repent if you voted the wrong way, but repent. Get right
with God and be happy until Jesus comes for us. You know He's coming
back again. You heard what Elder Gary read
today. Oh, in my Father's house are
many mansions, if it were not so. I go to prepare a place for
you that where I am there you may be also. Don't let your heart
be troubled. I'm out of here one day. I'm
almost out of here now. I feel pretty good. The saddest words in the Bible
are when Jesus was going to the cross, and the women that followed
Him were weeping. Jesus turned to them and said,
don't weep for me. Weep for yourselves. Your nation
is left unto you desolate. And there's a time coming when
you're going to run to the mountains and ask the rocks to fall on
you. That's how bad it's going to be. Of course, I won't be
here then. Children of God won't be here.
But there's a day coming so horrendous, so awful, so terrible. Look at
what's happening in Israel. Hezbollah is sending those missiles
over to bomb Tel Aviv. And Israel is shooting them down
before they get there. Shooting them down. Because our
God is able. Desolate. There is no situation
more painful than that of watching the lingering agony of an exhausted
country. And I'm watching and I'm thinking,
you're going down. Write it down in your Bible.
Today's date. And just write it. You're going down. America's
going down. It's not our military power that
protects this nation. It's our great God. All the symptoms of vitality
disappearing one by one until nothing is left but coldness
and sin and darkness. You know what hell is? In Scripture
we read about hell being a place of weeping and wailing and gnashing
of teeth to some degree. America's on the verge of something
like that. Not literal. Because there is
a real hell. But something like that. You
see, without God, there is no morality. There is no sanity. There is no goodness. There is
no mercy. There is no grace. There is no
love without God. And we put God out of our schools,
out of our country, out of our federal buildings, out of our
courts. We've told God to leave us alone and mind His own business.
The last thing you want, my friend, is for God to take His hands
off you. You ask Him to, He might. You tell Him to get out, He might. And now you watch. Write it in
your Bibles. You watch. You get a little tip off with
what's going on in Israel now. Don't mess with Israel. Just
don't mess with them. I don't understand all the mysteries
there, but I know better than to mess with them. And by the
way, Israel doesn't play. When's the last time you heard
of a six-day war? America, we don't have six-day
wars. How long were we in Vietnam?
You know what Israel does? We're going to end this thing.
We're in this to win. We're going to kill you dead. We're going
to blow you off the face of the earth if you don't stop sending
missiles into our country. I think that's a great policy,
don't you? I think we ought to tell the Muslim extremists, you're
going to die. I'll tell you what, have you
ever heard of two planes flying into Tel Aviv and hitting their
buildings? You know why you don't? Because
if you do, you die. Your nation dies. We'll kill
you all. We'll blow you to bits. Say,
that doesn't sound very Christian, preacher. Somebody told me after
the first service, you're not a very loving man. I'll tell you this, you try to
kill my wife, you're dead. One of us are going to die. That's
how much I love you and how much I love her. You're not doing
good. You need to keep your eye on
that because that's probably how the world's going to really
get blown to bits. You know, God doesn't have to
send a universal deluge. He can just let us create bombs.
We'll destroy ourselves. That's right. God can just let
us do what we want to do. All that's happening here in
America is the majority is just getting what they want. They
want same-sex marriage. God says it's an abomination.
Americans say, church people say, we're for it. We endorse it. We have the most
pro-gay president that's ever been elected in the United States
of America. Now you tell me, how is God going
to favor that when He expressly, explicitly says it's abomination
in the sight of God? I'm just saying, it's not that
I don't care about you if you're homosexual. It's not I don't
care about you if you're married to the same sex. That's not it
at all. I'm just saying God says. That's all. What do you say? Well, every Christian ought to
say what God says and shame on you if you don't. Somebody in
the first servant hollered out, really? And I said, yes, really. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. I'm not playing with you. This
is not play church here. We're not trying to satisfy the
masses religiously. We're not religious here. We're
crazy people who've been saved by the grace of God and are on
the Lord's side. I want everyone in here who's
on entitlement of any kind, it's not just you folks who are drawing
entitlement, living wherever. I'm talking about even Social
Security. I want you to think about this. What are you going
to do when it's all gone? No Section 8. No food stamps. No $340 check this month. Because
the government is broke. 50% of the American people are
on entitlement programs. 50%. 50% of the people in this country
are depending on Washington. What are you going to do when
it's gone? And to our staff at Grace Centers
of Hope, non-staff folks who work at Grace Centers of Hope,
what happens when our donors don't have $5.7 million? What
happens to the 127,000 meals that we serve every year, what
happens? No money. Don't you get it? Write it down in your Bible.
There's a day coming. There's a day coming when this
nation will be bankrupt. And you who have depended on
government rather than God are going to be in a heap of trouble. Wonderful things here at Grace
Gospel Fellowship. You can go from homelessness
to home ownership. And the church holds a mortgage.
And if you're a part of this church, I'm talking about this
church. You're a member of this church.
We take care of them. That's what the local church
does. We're family here. We share the potatoes. We share our rags. We share. That's what local church does.
We take care of the widows and orphans that are part of our
church. I want to say this, and I know
some of you are going to think it's just horrible. A young lady
who hollered out in the first service was telling me, you know,
we just need to love everybody. You don't have a whole lot of
love in you. Let me tell you this. Love is what it's all about. I am all about love. Your best
friend is the person who tells you the truth. Tells you the
truth. And this church has a wonderful
opportunity to prepare. You know what Joseph did? He
prepared for famine. He had warehouses and he stocked
the warehouses. You better learn to can. Grow
you a garden. Put up the beans. Get you a cellar. Pick the apples and put them
down there and keep them cool so they'll last all winter long.
See, I know some of you sitting here Not you, Pop. You know what
I'm talking about. Some of you, you can't even think
about that. You're like, you know what? I didn't come up here
to hear some down message. You wait till the potatoes are
scrawny and are drawn up because they're so old and that's all
you have to make potato soup. Mark it down. Mark it in your
Bible. Remember today. Remember today. I'm supposed to stand on my post
and give warning. Get ready, people of God. We
shouldn't be shocked or surprised. We need to make preparations.
I make preparations all the time. If we spend a dollar over at
Grace Centers of Hope, I'm thinking, how am I going to get back? I
think about how to balance the budget, how not to spend money
we don't have. And all week long, I'm thinking,
what will we do? What will we do in America? I'll
tell you what's going to happen in America because this generation
doesn't know how to say thank you. This generation actually
thinks that the government owes them something. Everybody's on
entitlement. I'm talking about even social
security. By the way, all of you folks
on social security are going to be in trouble here in a little
bit because there ain't going to be any social security. In
fact, there are less people paying taxes now for us baby boomers
We're going to run out before the baby boomers get paid. Because
they're borrowing from the Social Security plan. So all of you
people 50, 60 years old who are counting on your Social Security,
forget it. Grow a garden this spring. Learn
how to can. I can tell some of you go, that
ain't going to happen. He don't know what he's talking
about. Write it in your Bible. Write it in your Bible. And you
know when you can't pay your rent? And there's no more check
coming from the government? Write it in your Bible. You better
have a church of born-again believers that you can share with your
stuff. This church is going to be mighty
important to a lot of people. Because God's going to cut you
off from government, and there's not going to be anything left
but God. God's not going to give government the glory. How appreciative
we're going to become of potato soup with nothing else. Thank you, Lord. Something to
eat. Government can't pay your rent.
There's no money coming. And by the way, do you know who
pays the money that entitlement people get? Those of us who pay
taxes. How many of you pay taxes in
here? Do you know that's where your money goes to? Everyone
who is on entitlement, that's where your tax dollars go. How
come it's getting quiet in here? I don't want to think about it.
I don't want to think about it. I understand that. I understand. If you are a third generation
entitlement person, and all of a sudden what you've always been
used to is all gone. I tell this over and over. I
was so shocked when we decided to lay off and to do away with
our fire department here because we had no money to pay them.
They went on strike. How do you go on strike when
there is no money? How do you demand when there
is none? Write it in your Bible. I hope
you do. Because you need a plan. I know
many of you in here probably disagree with me about entitlement.
But let me love you enough and tell you, you better get a plan.
This nation's going down. It's going down. There's not
going to be any government checks because there isn't going to
be any money. You've already heard. You know it's coming.
I've already warned you. I've blown the trumpet. The bridge
is out. If our staff can't work, how
does our staff pay the rent? How do you pay your bills? You
know what? My kids, my daughters, my grandchildren, sons-in-law,
I think about. You know why? Because I love
them. I think about, OK, the bridge is out. Time's coming. What are we going to do? It's
all right. You can smile. It's OK. The truth
will set you free. It's OK. You've messed up and
done this and got dependent, and you're addicted. That's all
right. We're all addicted to something.
But it's all right, isn't it, to say that you shouldn't be
using crack? So is it all right to say that
entitlement isn't going to work down the road, so you need to
get off of it? And you need to get ready. I'm
saying this not just to those who are drawing Section 8 or,
you know, $340 a month. I'm saying to all of us Social
Security people, I don't pay Social Security, never have.
I mean, haven't since 1970. I opted out. But we're spending
your money now. We're borrowing it from Social
Security, you know, and spending it on other things. So you need
another plan. I know some of you think that
I'm the only fanatic, but I want to read just some news clips.
And these people aren't Christians. These are just some news clips.
Dear reader, something bigger than the credit crisis of 2008
is headed our way. This is a financial advisor.
For most people, it will hit them like a brick wall. It will
touch Americans harder and deeper than anything else we've seen
since the Great Depression. What does that say? Put your
raspberries in your purse. This is the entitlement cliff.
You know, they're talking about the entitlement cliff going over
the cliff, our government going over the cliff. You read the
newspaper. Entitlement cliff threatens America. Entitlement
spending is already so high that the cost of all entitlement programs
plus interest on the debt is nearly equal to the total federal
revenue. That means virtually everything
else the government does is being paid for with borrowed money.
A number of these programs have grown substantially since President
Obama took office. Medicaid has grown from 46.9
recipients to 56 million. Disability beneficiaries have
increased from 7.5 million to 8.8 million. And the food stamp
program has grown from 32 million beneficiaries to 47 million.
All told, more than 120 million Americans receive entitlements
of some kind, according to the Institute in Texas. 18 million people enter the healthcare
insurance exchanges beginning in 2014. The bottom line for
physical 2012, the federal government spent about $2.2 trillion of
its $3.7 trillion budget on entitlement programs, while gross annual
revenue stood at $2.6 trillion. Add interest on the federal debt
of $220 billion to the entitlement payoff, and that leaves less
than $200 billion to pay for everything else, including defense,
transportation, education, homeland security. So the government makes
up the shortfall by borrowing or printing more money. Say,
well, you know what? I didn't understand a thing you
said. What I said is, you're in trouble. We are spending more
money on entitlement than what's coming in. Therefore, we print
more money. You know what your dollar bill
in your pocket, if you got one, I was trying to see if I had.
You know what that is? That's a piece of green paper.
And as we print more money, you need a wheelbarrow to buy a loaf
of bread to haul your dollar bills to buy it. Because there's
no value in the dollar. The American dollar used to be
the great world accepted money. It's no longer. How are we going
to collect enough money to sustain these entitlement programs? How
many of you want to pay more taxes so we can support these
entitlement programs. I mean, how many of you work
really hard, earn your check, and you just are going to demand
the government takes more of your paycheck? You're only getting
50 cents on the dollar now, or less. They get the rest. Say, Pastor, what are you saying?
I'm saying, I know many of you are downhearted about the election.
I hear this all the time, just so downhearted. Some of you in
here are just hilariously happy, but you won't be long. You know,
maybe a few more years. I don't know how long this will
go on. But God, judgment's coming. It always comes. You have a universal
deluge or a Sodom and Gomorrah. You know, it's coming. So, you
know, when you get in my face, out at the door, it won't mean
anything to me. It really won't. Because I know
you don't get it. Write it in your Bible. Write
it that on today's 18th, Write it on the 18th of November, 2012.
The pastor told us. When your belly's growling, your
kids are crying, they're hungry, and you don't have a pot to...
you don't... you're in trouble. You're in trouble. Open your
Bible. November 18th, 2012. The pastor
said, it's coming. You're responsible and accountable
to get ready. Get ready. All you girls, learn
how to cook. Learn how to can beans. Grow
you a garden in the backyard. Put some things up. You say,
well, Pastor, you know, you're so negative today. Listen, I'm
not down at all. My God reigns. Everything's all
right with me. I'm just telling you, I don't
want you to hurt. I just can't imagine what will
happen to some of you emotionally and mentally. When the babies
are crying. When mama is unhappy. When all
of you single mothers, fathers, things are bleak. You just need to make preparations.
You know what I did? For ten days I wrote down names
of people in this church. who are counting on government.
I'm going to call some of you. You know why? Because I love
you. Because I don't want you to count on government. You need
to get ready. You need to buy your own house. We hold the mortgage.
The church owns the mortgage. You think the church is going
to foreclose on you? You're one of us. You're in the family. Does anybody hear me? All right,
good, good, good. Because it gets quiet in here,
I get scared. Darren and I were talking about that before church.
It gets real quiet. I wonder if anybody understands what I...
Listen, I don't want to preach fancy. I want you to know exactly
what I said. Even if you don't agree with
me, you know I believe what I'm saying. I've got a hit list on
some of you. You've got to stop this. Because
you're going to be out in the cold. If you think Washington's
going to think about you in a little old Pontiac, When there's no
money in the bank in Washington, and they're going to be thinking
about you, poor mother and her kids are out in the cold. There
is no money! We are all about accountability
and responsibility here, right? We're not about entitlement here.
The Bible knows nothing about entitlement. It only knows about
grace and God's unmerited favor and goodness. And God tells you
the truth so you just start making preparations. You know, give up the crack.
Give up the drugs. Start thinking serious. Things
are going to get bad. Well, I'm not the only fanatic.
I've got all kinds of quotes here people send me. Listen to
this. This is going to be tough on
some of you, but it's all right. You'll get over it. There'll
be another Sunday, and you'll heal between now and next Sunday,
maybe. The danger of America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry
capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It'll
be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency
than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment
to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president.
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama,
who is a mere symptom of what ailed us. Blaming the prince
of the fool should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy
of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive
a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive
a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president. I know that's tough. I know that's
tough, but that's plain. How simple is it? the most murderous
president that we've ever had in 230 plus years with regard
to abortion. I mean, hello? Just think about it just a little
bit. Think about it. This is another one I received.
How sad. We've come to the point in our country where people who
depend on the government for their existence, who have dropped
out of school, who have only selfish ambitions, which has
now reached more than 50% of our population, have clawed their
way into power again. I'm not talking about the next
four years only. We will never see another election where incentives
to be free, to be self-reliant, to strive for excellence will
win, let alone even run for office. And it goes on and on and gets
stronger. I know some of you are really upset right now. I
want to tell you this. Let's go to Romans. Let's go
to the book of Romans real quick here. All I want you to do, if
you're the people of God, you bow to the Word of God. That's
all. Those of you who are not Christians and won't bow to the
Word of God, you're not going to like any of this. But those
of you who are children of God, you discern truth. You have the
Holy Spirit inside of you. Listen to this. Romans 9. Let's go to verse 15. For he
saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and
I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then
it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but
God that showeth mercy. For the Scripture saith unto
Pharaoh, even for this same purpose have I raised thee up. I'm going
to say something really weird. I bow to the will of God. with
regard to President Obama being President of the United States. He could not be President if
God did not permit it. But I'm going to tell you this.
Sometimes God puts people in office, hardens their heart to
show how powerful He is. You see, God put Pharaoh in power. What's good for Pharaoh, though?
God hardened Pharaoh's heart. Pharaoh said, I'm going to kill
all the children of Israel. But God said, no, you're not.
I'm going to show Israel how powerful I am. They're going
to praise me. Pharaoh and his army went down. I can tell you
this, church. Write this in your Bible. God's
going to show His power. God's going to show off. I'm
mighty happy about that. Americans are not going to any
longer worship a false God of government. Some of you in here
are not going to worship that God either. Not anymore. Because God's going to cut your
God in half. He's going to destroy your false
God. And somehow or another, have
you ever been in real trouble? I mean, you know, you haven't
thought about God for maybe, you know, you go to church and
notice what everybody's wearing, what car they're driving, and
gossip a little bit. But you know when the doctor
says you've got a tumor about the size of your fist? You know
what? I'll tell you this. In Beaumont
Hospital, Royal Oak Beaumont, in their critical care, when
his Pam didn't know who she was or where she was, you know what
I did? I didn't call on, oh, Mr. Obama in the federal government. I hope you pay this bill and send a doctor. Oh, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no. I said, oh, God, don't let her
die. I didn't even think about the federal
government. There's only one thing on my mind, a mighty God
who's able to heal. That's all. I want you to know. with the girls, my own girls,
when they were growing up. And I have to do hard things
that kill me. I want you to know that those
of you who just so horribly disagree with me, I love you. I'm not angry at you. In fact,
I'm not angry at all about President Obama. I'm not angry at all.
I'm trusting God. I mean, I think I told you a
few Sundays ago, I'm going to get up on November 7th and say,
thank you, Lord, for saving my soul. Thank you, Lord, for making
me whole. Thank you, Lord, for giving to
me salvation so rich and free. I told the first crowd this.
I said, I've got plans, you know. I'm going to get my teeth tapped.
I'm going to get hearing aids. I can't hear thunder. I made
plans while I was away. It's time for me to get some
real, those behind your ears hearing aids. You know, a lot
of times when you're talking to me, I'm going like this. I
don't know a thing you're saying. You could say, my mother died.
And I'm going, praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Yeah. And if you look deep in
my eyes when I'm doing that, you can see fear. Because I think,
I don't know what to say. And I hope I'm doing it right. You know, on November 7th, life
didn't stop for me. It put fire in me. I said, we've
got to wake up. We've got to wake up. God can
turn this thing back. Do you know that? Think about
what God has in store for you. It's all yours. In Christ Jesus,
all things are yours. Quit looking the other way. Look
to God and be grateful. Didn't everything give thanks
for this is the will of God concerning you? Yeah. The darling of my life is at
home. I'm trusting God. In fact, probably in... Uh-oh, I better get this right. Next Thursday is 44 years. 44
years. She can't cop out on me now.
We're going for 50. Boy, you know what this did for
me is I'm going to be more thankful for Miss Pam. You know, I got
scared thinking about being by myself. You know, when I got
up this morning, this suit was already picked out and shirt
and this little hanky doodad, even though she put pink in there,
I don't know why she... Only real men can wear pink. Listen, church, There's a great
thing going on here. There's a great thing going on
here. We've got a God thing going on, which I'm happy about. It
may not be nationwide, but I'm telling you in here, there's
a God thing going on. This morning, we need $30,000
over at Grace Centers of Hope. Think about that. Every day when
I get up, you say, well, where's that coming from? I don't know.
But I'll tell you this, I look up a lot. I look up a lot because
that's where it comes from. Listen, you know why I am just
so fanatical? I'm trying to quit. Y'all are
all right. I'm trying to quit. Let me tell you why I'm so fanatical.
Do you know Grace Centers of Hope could go down in one day? Think about this. We miss three
days of $30,000 a day. That's $90,000. Is that right?
Something's got to happen. We're not the federal government.
I can't print it. So something's got to happen. I want everybody
in here, because if you're here and you haven't walked out already,
there is a connection between this church and God and what's
going on here, right? I want you to see it. I want
you to depend on God. I want us to teach our kids,
trust God, honey. Trust God. I want us to raise some young
champions for Christ. Some of our teenagers to go like
this, I'm going to work. I'm going to earn my way. I know
some of you are looking hard at me a little bit. All I want
you to do is think. If you just go away from here
going like this, you know, I really need to consider what our pastor
said. I really need to at least think
about it. Think about some of you whose life for 15 or 20 years
you've been on drugs. You need to think about this.
It's time to live. And there's opportunity to live.
Have a wife and children and a home and a house and a car
and feel good about yourself. Feel good about yourself. All
right. Love you. That's standard. Praise
God.
