Oh, come quickly. Oh, come quickly. Come on, Lord. Go back to Matthew 24. Thank
you, John, Sherry. It's a beautiful day today, isn't
it? Lovely day. Do you have anything planned today? I do. Maybe you're lying. I do. We have some things planned
today. In fact, this whole week is planned.
We're looking forward to hopefully going on a camping trip with
our granddaughters. And then Gabe and Hannah are
going to be there. But not for long. We're looking forward to
that. We've got it all planned out. Do you have any plans? Have you
thought about where you're going to go eat lunch today? in such an hour as you think
not the Son of Man coming." That's the story. Verse 44, be ready. In such an hour as
you think not the Son of Man coming. If I were to ask you,
do you really think the Lord is coming today? I'm sure you
would say. Just know, we would all say,
probably not. Now, no one is scared into the
kingdom. And I'm not trying to do that
at all. Not to our children, not to anyone.
The fear of Christ's coming is not conviction of sin. That doesn't
produce conviction of sin. It doesn't produce salvation.
It doesn't make people call upon the Lord. The Holy Spirit has
to convince of sin, righteousness, and judgment. I'm going to speak
a few things about that. That's the gospel. No one's scared into the kingdom.
Jesus is coming. You better repent. I'm not trying
to do that. Those who know and love the Lord,
don't fear His coming, they look forward to it. And if you can really be honest
though, you might be able to say, and especially if you're
a young, like a young mother, a young father, just a young
person, unmarried, you think, but I do look forward You know,
being married and having children and seeing them raised. You know, being a grandfather
is wonderful. I hope you get to experience
that. It's just wonderful. But it might
not happen. It just might not. And there's
nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with those
But the fact of the matter is, those who love the Lord, know
the Lord, when He comes, there's not going to be one moment of
fear. Or your death, when the Lord comes
for you in your death, and it might be when you're young. It's
happened to many believers. There's not going to be any fear.
It's going to be good. You're going to be ready. So just take comfort in that. But you know, most people don't
believe, people in this world don't even believe God, don't
even believe that Jesus Christ is anything other than just a
man and said some good thing, did some good thing. They certainly
don't believe He rose from the grave and He's coming back again,
what the Scriptures say. They don't believe that. Most
people don't believe that. Other people, professing Christian
religious people, most religious people, listen, most religious
people, Christian so-called, are more interested in the things
surrounding His coming, in talking about events and prophecies and
all of that, than they are in the Christ's coming. If I were to announce, and this
Seventh-day Adventist place does this all the time, announces
these prophecy seminars. They send out these posters and
warning about the end and the beast and all that. And they
attract lots of people that way. Everybody's interested in that.
Mostly interested because they want to know when so they can
procrastinate and keep doing what they're doing, and then
right up at the end, make some kind of provision. That's exactly
right. That's exactly true. The Lord says you don't know
when. And God's people, the fact of the matter is, God's people,
when Christ comes, will be doing what they're doing when He came,
before He came. Waiting, worshiping. That's what they're going to
be doing. Nothing's going to change. Most people don't believe. Most
people don't know and love Christ. Don't know why He came the first
time. And most people sure don't want
Him to come back here and mess up our playhouse. Alright, I've got two points.
Two points. If you're taking notes. He who
came is coming again. He who came. It says in verse,
look at this, in verse 37, as the days of Noah were, so shall
also the coming of the Son of Man be. Verse 44, in such an
hour as you think not, the Son of Man cometh. And he says this
throughout the next chapter. The Son of Man cometh. The Son
of Man. He calls himself that because
though he's the Son of God without beginning, though he's God, he's
God manifest in the flesh. He became a man. God became a
man. He came to this earth in the
very beginning, in the Garden, the Garden of Eden. Jesus Christ
came to this earth for 4,000 years. He came to this earth
many times to visit, to visit. He came to talk to the first
sinners, Adam and Eve in the garden, and to show them something,
and to tell them the gospel, come and see Himself. He came
to Noah, tell him, He found grace to build an ark. It's a picture
of me, he said. Give him all the dimensions and
to tell him that blessed promise. You go out and preach and get
in the ark. He came to Abraham to confirm
a covenant of a chosen people. He came to Lot, pulled him out. He came to Jacob, He came to
Gideon, He came many times to reveal, to instruct, to comfort,
to speak. But He came again, He
came to the earth 2,000 years ago to live. He was born of a
woman. He took a body, the Lord prepared
Him a body of a man, flesh and blood and bones. Two thousand
years ago, He became bone of our bones and flesh of our flesh.
A man. God in the flesh. Why? One reason. He's the second Adam. Stay with me now. Here's the
gospel. He's the second Adam. You're
either going to be in Adam, the first Adam, Or in the second
Adam. In Adam, all die. In Christ, all made alive. In Adam, we sin. One man's disobedience,
we're made sinners and we die. We're going to die. And if something's
not done about our sins, we're going to die in our sins
and God's going to destroy our soul. The soul that sinned shall
surely die. But in Christ, made holy, made
righteous, by the obedience of one, made righteous. Second Adam. Nothing we can do. We're just sinners. Everything Christ can do. And
it's done for these sinners. You need to be in Christ. Like
that ark. If you're outside of Christ,
you're damned. If you're in Christ, you're in the earth. You're safe.
Come to Christ. He came to live. He came to keep
God's law. And God looked at this one man,
his son, son of man, but the Son of God, and said, I'm well
pleased for his righteousness sake. Now God says to all sinners,
you need a righteousness. You need to be as holy as I am.
I'm not letting you into my heaven. without a perfect holiness. He
has it. You need it. Go to Him. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
and all your sins are gone. Remit it. And I will cover you
like the Lord did Adam and Eve with that skin. I'll cover you
in His righteousness and I'll put all your sins. He came to
die. The Son of Man. He came to be
a man to die. Man can't keep God's law. The God-man could. God can't
die. The God-man did. His soul was made an offering
for sin. And by His righteousness, we are accepted in the blood.
And by His blood, our sins are paid for. He came to live. He
came to die. He came to preach. The Lord Jesus
Christ was a preacher. He came preaching. The Kingdom
of God is at hand. It's close. But Lord, when He
was preaching, it's 2,000 years or more in the future. No, no,
no, no. Standing right in front of Him.
And for everybody standing around Him, you're faced with the Kingdom. You're looking at the King. You
better know Him. He's coming for you just in a
matter of days. In your death or in the end He's coming. Repent. You remember He said,
do you suppose I came to bring peace on earth? Remember that? Not many religious people know
this. He said, Christ said, do you suppose I came to bring peace
on earth? I said, nay, rather, but a sword. I come to set a man at their
ends. Divide. What are you talking
about? We know the truth. It separates. He came to bring
a fire, he said, in his kingdom. The fire of God's wrath, it's
either going to fall on us or it fell on Christ at the cross.
Those that believe Christ, there is therefore now no condemnation
to them that are in Christ Jesus. No condemnation. Because Christ
suffered the fire of hell on Calvary's tree for all of his
people. There is no judgment to face from God's people. There
is no wrath. God loves them. God is well pleased. Smile. Do you believe Christ? He came to preach. He came to
preach and He said things like this, as in the days of Noah.
As in the days of Noah, so shall the coming of the Son of Man
be. You know, I'm preaching Christ right now. I'm preaching what
He said. I'm preaching what He did. I'm preaching why He came.
This is to preach like Noah did. Noah was said to be a preacher
of righteousness. Two righteousnesses. First, God's
holiness and God's justice and God's essential righteousness. God will by no means clear the
guilt. He's holy. He's righteous. God is holy.
First of all. Foremost. Chief. Attributes.
Holy. He's holy. With every hammer
of Noah's hammer nailing in that ark, he's saying, judgment's
coming. For 120 years he was building that ark and preaching
to everybody that went by. God's angry. God doesn't love
this place. He's going to destroy this place. Judgment. Judgment. Judgment. God's holy. This world is a sinful place.
God has looked down upon this place. See, if there were any
that understand, any that seek after God, He says, there's none
good, no, not one. None that seeketh after God. None righteous,
no, not one. This is what God says, people.
This is what Noah was preaching every day with his hammer. God's
not going to… It's not wonderful things prepared for you, but
this whole world is perishing. God's angry. And with every blow of that hammer,
he's also saying, get in the ark. Get in the ark. But God. God is holy, but God is love. And that love is going to be
found in one place, in this ark. If you're not in this ark, God
doesn't love you. He hates you. But if you're in
this ark, God loves you. He preached wrath and He preached
mercy. There's mercy. God is merciful,
but it's only in His arm. Christ came preaching. What did
He preach? I have come to bring fire on the earth. Repent. He said this to His own apostles. Except ye repent, ye shall likewise
perish. You're a sinner. And then He
said, Come unto Me. Come on. I'll receive you out of the ark. Come unto Me. You must be found
in Him in that day. You must be found in Christ in
that day. You must be covered. You must
be covered like that ark was covered with pitch. You must
be shut in. If you come to Him, you have
God's Word on it, He'll shut you in. You'll be shut up to
faith like Noah. And when He comes the second
time, no wrath, no judgment. And He'll open that door, and
in a moment, twinkling of an eye, a new world, a change. the world wherein dwelleth righteousness."
Does that sound good to you? Get in the ark. He came, He lived,
He died. Who came? He who came? Son of man. He came to live,
He came to die, He arose from the grave, that proof of everything
He did, everything He said, who He is, that's proof, undeniable
proof, seen by over 500 at one time. And many, many millions
and millions after that hear His voice, Feel His presence. They're under His rule and direction. He arose. He went back to the
right hand of the Majesty on High where He sits right now.
This same Jesus sits right now. He's not standing up. He's seated.
Because when He gets up again, it's over. But He's seated right
now at the right hand of the Majesty on high where He reigns
and rules among the armies of heaven and all the inhabitants
of the earth. None can stay His hand. This
same Jesus is Lord of the dead and the living, doing as He will,
with whom He will, because He will, according to His will and
purpose. Everything is going according
to His divine will and word and purpose. Jesus Christ the Lord. God's made Him Lord. He reigns,
He controls, He directs, He provides everything we have. There's some ladies trespassing
yesterday on the church property. A woman parked her car on our
church lot. I didn't know whose car it was.
And this has happened before. People just think, you know,
here's a big place to park. They just spent thousands of
dollars, you know. Well, we don't care. We'll park
there. We won't ask them. Who cares?
That's trespassing. Well, some woman yesterday parked
her car there and I was, before I came, and so I was, and I came
over and didn't know whose car it was. And before I left, I
was going to put a note on that car, and I've done this before.
You're trespassing. You're where you are without
permission. That's a trespasser. And I've
done this before, and I said, but we're just delighted for
you to park here if you ask us or thank us. We'd just be delighted because
the Lord gave us this parking place and we're just pleased
to let you use it. I was going to do that. And then I added to the note,
have you ever thought that you're trespassing on God's earth? Have
you ever given Him a thought? Have you ever thanked Him? Have
you ever asked Him permission to breathe His air, to eat His
food, to drink His water? to be on His earth? Are you just
a squatter? Have you just been using His earth and everything
He provides you with, protects you with, girds you and feeds
you and clothes you and houses you and does all these things
for you and you've never given Him a thought? In fact, you think
you demand it? That's trespassing. Have you ever given that a thought?
Have you ever repented and asked God for forgiveness for using
and abusing and not giving Him thanks? God delights to show
mercy. If you'll ask Him, He'll forgive
you your trespasses. I was going to put that on that
car. Well, a car pulled in. It was
Deborah's car and out walked Polly. It was Polly's car. Polly's car. Polly got in the car and I thought,
huh, so that's who it is. I'm glad I didn't put that on
her car. See, Polly's not a trespasser. This is her house. This is her
lot. This is her people. This is her
gospel. This is her Christ. She can come
boldly and part. I guess that's a good illustration.
We're trespassers. This is what God's holding men
accountable for. When God's Son came, mercy and
grace, kindness, men say, we don't want you. I preach the Gospel right now
and men say, we don't need that. Oh yes, you do. You don't have
any idea. You've got the wrath of God hanging
over your head. You don't have a clue. You don't
have a clue. It's never rain, fire. God can't
lie. Get in the ark. Now, at a time when you think
not. Our Lord said this in the days
of Noah. He's coming again, the second point. He's coming again.
When is He coming? He said, no man knoweth. the day or the hour. Whenever
a man, whoever it is, stands up and says, I know when he's
coming, and he gives a date, and this happens, it's been happening
for years. A few years ago there was a big old sign, May 21st,
I forget, you remember that? That was put out by a group in
California. I know exactly who it is. The
man's been predicting for years and he's been wrong every time.
And he was wrong this time too. He said May 21st, whatever the
year was, I knew for a fact Christ wasn't coming that day. That's a false prophet. No man knoweth. But the Lord says you can discern
the face of the sky, can't you? Can you predict the weather?
When you see clouds coming, can't you say, it's going to rain?
Our Lord said, learn the parable of the fig tree. When leaves
are starting to grow summers now, He said, when you see all
these things, they just say, He's near. The seasons are clear. But it's not so obvious. What
are the signs of His coming? I'll get your attention now.
I have it of something. What does it say? The sun turned
black, the moon turned to blood? There's some scriptures that
speak things like that. Is there going to be a beast
ruling and everybody walking around with 666 on their head?
Is that it? Isn't that pretty obvious? What
if everybody was walking around with 666 on their head? That's
pretty obvious, isn't it? Pretty clear? Wouldn't you say,
well, he must be sinning, kind of? That's what everybody would
be saying. Our Lord said, the kingdom of
God cometh not with observation. It won't be clear. In fact, He
says it's going to be like in the days of Noah. Life as usual
will be carrying on. And the whole world's going to
be saying, where's the promise of His coming? Like they did to
Noah. Noah kept saying, it's going
to rain, it's going to rain. It never rained before. They'd
never seen rain. And Scripture says it's going
to rain fire, hailstone. Fire and brimstone. That's not
an old itinerant mountain preacher. That's Jesus Christ said that.
And the whole world scoffing and mocking Peter Rowe. In the
last days, scoffers and mockers. Where is the promise? It's not
going to rain fire. And that's what they said to
Noah. And buddy, it's not going to come with observation. Look, they're building a temple.
Don't go there. That's what our Lord said. He's
not there. The temple's already been built. It's being built. Yes, it is.
But you can't see it. The temple is His church. A woman
argued with me, sent me a letter, a message on eBay, a message
on Sermon Audio. And she argued with me, I still
believe we're going to build a temple. We can believe that
all we want to, but they're not. It doesn't come with observation. He said, my kingdom's not of
this world. If it were, we'd fight. Is there
going to be a big battle? Everybody fighting for that temple?
No! Where do you get that preacher?
Christ! His temple is invisible. It's his church. His kingdom
is invisible. He doesn't come with observation.
He's not going to be able to say, look. But God's people,
He shows them. He reveals these things. Hidden. Hidden. He reveals the things
that are hidden. Unseen are eternal. Here's what
he says here in verses 37 and 8, as the days of Noah, there'll
be marrying and eating and drinking, marrying and giving and marrying,
until the day Noah went into the ark. And there's nothing
wrong with these things unless you're given to them, unless
God is your belly, unless this is all you care about. You don't
care about God, Christ. But this is talking about prosperity.
Didn't it? Prosperity. Things are going
on. When Christ comes, it's going to be life as usual. It's not
going to be so obvious. Every world war, you know, that's
when they thought He's coming. It's just a worldwide calamity.
Every single major war, people thought He must be near. That's
not what Christ said. He said those things will come.
But that's the beginning. And you're always going to hear
wars and rumors of wars. There's not going to be a third
world war to end this, to destroy this planet. Christ is going
to destroy this planet with His coming. That's what He said.
Prosperity. In the days of Noah, there were
billions on the earth. Billions. Nearly every Bible
commentator I've read that I have any confidence in, believe, that
there were literally millions of people on earth. It says,
God looked and said the whole earth had corrupted His way.
Nowhere you could look, no people, no tribe, nation, kindred, tongue,
or people anywhere that hadn't corrupted His way, perverted
and corrupt. and full of violence. That's
all. They're just killing each other. Just filthy. And he said,
it repented me and I made man. He said, I'm going to destroy
man whom I've created. Because he's just corrupted.
The whole earth is corrupt. And our Lord said, in the days
of Noah. As in the days of Noah. Is there 8 billion people now?
5 billion? I don't know. Our Lord said, when the Gospels
preached in all the world, He said in Luke 17, as in the
days of Lot also. These are signs, the days of
Lot. So shall the coming of the Son of Man. What's that? Sin
without restraint. Isaiah 3, it says, they declare
their sin like Sodom. They hide it not. No more hiding
this. We're coming out. And we're going
to shake our fist in God's face. And that's when God, Brother
Stephen, God came to Abraham and He said, I'm coming down
to see it because the cry of Sodom is great in my ears. And I'm coming. And so when the whole earth collectively
shakes its fist, no fear of God, They come out against everything
God says and is, and Christ, and collectively shakes their
fist in God's face and says, we can live as we please then. A hammer fall. That's in a day's
a lot. We can see the signs here. We
don't know the day. We don't know the hour. We have to watch the time of
day. And while all the world mocks and scoffs and says, where
is the promise of His coming? We see it, don't we? This is
the promise of His coming. They say all things continue
as they were. We don't see anything different
happen. That's right. That's God's mercy
in it. His tender mercies are over all His work. He never said
the seasons would change. He never said that. That's an
old wives' fable. After the flood, He said everything is going to
continue as it was. Bless God, He's so merciful,
isn't He? Rain falls on the just and unjust. And then at a time when you think
not, our Lord said, all the world says peace and safety. Paul said
this, when they say, when all the prophets of the world, like
those false prophets were saying to Ahab, peace and safety. were
saying to the people of Israel, those professing believers, all
those prophets of Baal were saying, peace and safety, peace and safety. One man stood up, Elijah on Mount
Carmel said, the fire's going to fall. That's right. But God. And Elijah said, I'm
telling you the truth. But there's mercy with God. And that's when he said, you
come unto me. Remember that Elijah on Mount Carmel? Come unto me,
I'm going to tell you something. There's a sacrifice. And only
one. And God will be propitious. God
will be merciful. God will be gracious. God will
have mercy on those who are in Christ. Fire is going to fall. And it will fall on the sacrifice.
And not you. Come to Him. But if not, it will
fall on you. There's lightning. It's not going
to be a secret rapture. They take this, Dan, false prophets
take this and say, one will be lying in bed, two will be lying
in bed, and one of them all of a sudden will be gone, and the
one in bed will say, where'd Joe go? Two women working at the mill,
working at the plant, and all of a sudden, Polly's gone. Where'd
Polly go? Secret rapture? Oh, no, no, no.
No, no, no. No, there's nothing secret about
when the graves open, when the sea gives up her dead, when all
these millions of bodies of believers come rising up in the air. That's
not secret, is it? And Christ said, He's going to
come as lightning lighteth the sky from east to west. And it
says, every eye shall see Him, and the whole world's going to
wail because of Him, and cry because of Him whom they have
pierced, but not God's people. The whole world collectively
is going to be saying, Oh my God, He's here. While all of his people rise
up to meet him in the air, Wesley's saying, Oh my God, you're here! Blessed be the Lord! While they
rise up to meet him in the air. Oh, that's a bunch of foolishness,
preacher. That's what Jesus Christ said. And men are calling him
a liar. I believe it. Do you believe
it? I rest all my hope, all my soul, on what He said. And I
wait on Him. To wait on Him. Here's what,
who is Christ coming for? Who's He coming for? And I close
with this. He's coming, He came the first
time to save. He said, I didn't come to destroy
men. I came to save. To seek and to
save that which is lost. He came the first time to save.
He's coming the next time, not to save us. They've already been
saved. Most of them are already there with Him. He's coming to
bring out the remnant that are still alive, still here, and
join the others with their body. It's a mystery, isn't it? But
He's coming to destroy a second time. He's coming to wipe it
out. Fold it up like a vesture. Be done with it. He's got a new
place prepared for His people. A new heaven, a new earth. The
former is not even going to be remembered. He's coming to destroy. Coming to take His remnant home.
Who is that? Who is that? I said, those in
Christ. Those that are watching. Our
Lord said, watch unto prayer. Call on the name of the Lord.
Ask Him. Lord, I want to be in Christ.
I want to be found in Christ. Ask Him. He's coming for those
that watch, those that worship, those that wait, those that want
Him. He's coming for those that watch, that call. He's coming
for those that worship, that are sitting at His feet listening
to His Word. Worshipping Him. Loving His Word. That's who He's coming for. Those
that long for His appearing. Those that wait. Those that wait
on the Lord. Those that want Him to come.
Those that want Him to come. That's who He's coming for. Those
that want Him to come. And for them and for everybody,
He's coming. At an hour when you think not.
The day of the Lord is mentioned in Scripture as a day of salvation.
Yours or mine. The day when He reveals Himself.
The day of the Lord is the day when He came here to earth the
first time. And the day of the Lord is His
second coming. And as I said, the Lord is coming
for us one day. And you and I. all of God's people, at a time
when you think not. At such an hour as you think
not. You don't know the day or the
hour He's coming for you. You don't know this. I told you
that my best friend's 15, I found his dead body. My brother was
21, my sister 42, and on and on it goes. There was a young lady who attended
here years ago, and sat here, born and raised here, and heard
the Word, sat and listened to the Word, and sat about where
Joseph is. Heard it, and you know, for years,
like me and like many of you, Didn't hear it, but then one
day she started to hear it. And you could tell. You could
tell. Until finally she would miss. She was in love with what she
was hearing, but didn't know if she knew the Lord or not.
And the Lord was breaking her heart and healing her heart. her, what she was, a sinner in
need of Christ and creating, like that woman at the well,
a need for Christ. And she wrote me a couple of
letters. I'm going to read a little bit to you. Not all of it. Not
all of it. This was 2001. She said, Dear Pastor, I can't
express my feelings in words a lot of times, so I turned to
paper and pen. I wanted to write you a letter
and tell you how much I love and appreciate you. Thank the
Lord many times for sending someone who can speak in terms I can
understand. It's hard for me to grasp the
things of the Lord, the Word of the Lord. Now, this is a young
lady that didn't profess to be saved, but she was. She said, the Lord has enabled
me through your preaching to capture a glimpse every once
in a while of His magnificent holiness and mercy. The Lord
has been so gracious to me. His mercy has been unstopping.
She said, I love to sit and listen to the study of Genesis about
Jacob. Apparently we were going through
Genesis. She said, I relate to Jacob. I've been a thief and
a liar. I've connived and been deceitful.
I just pray the Lord will not remove his hand from me and he'll
love and have mercy on me like he did Jacob. You reckon he will? I pray he'll
bring me down in the dirt that I see myself as the worm I am
before the Lord and raise me up in Christ. I pray with all
my being that that day will come. You reckon it did? She went on to say, Lord's been
so merciful to me and I pray He'll continue to be merciful
and save me. I think He already had. Thank
you for being the man you are. I greatly respect you. And she
went on to pray for me. She says, I mean this from the
bottom of my sinful heart. I wrote her a letter back, included
some scripture for her to look at. She wrote me back again shortly,
and she said, I wanted to thank you for writing
back. I've learned that you weigh your
words. You're not quick to respond.
Therefore, after reading your letter, I sat and thought about
it a long time and looked up the Bible verses you had written
down. I told her to read Psalm 37.
Commit thy way unto the Lord. Trust in the Lord with all thine
heart. And she said, I read it over and over again. And she
said at first, and I read it about the wicked, she said, I
trembled. I trembled. The Lord said to
this man, when I look to him that is poor and with a contrite
heart, a worm, and trembleth at my word. She said, I trembled
at the thought of it. But the second and third times
I read it, She's trembling, but she's looking
for mercy. Second and third times I read it, I saw the comfort,
that comfort was mingled therein. And she started quoting these
verses. Trust in the Lord. Those that wait on the Lord,
they shall inherit the earth. The meat shall inherit the earth. She said, I have to quote the
entire chapter, but she said, I pray the Lord will give me
the desire to trust Him and commit my way unto Him, delight myself
in Him. I pray He'll show me how to rest
in Him and wait patiently for Him, fret not. I ask you to pray
for me. Pray the Lord will keep me and
save me. Pray the Lord will not cast me
down and leave me to myself. I want to be upheld in His hand. Pray the Lord will break me because
only then can I be healed. My heart is heavy with sin. It
seems to consume me more and more every day. You said you'd be my friend. It's an honor to have you as
my friend. She said, thank you for being a friend to me. And
she said, I only hope that one day you'll be able to call me Your
sister. Sincerely, Shannon Parks. You reckon that young lady's
with the Lord. All her hope is my hope. All her plea is my plea. And she sat right there about
where Joseph sits. All those years. And then that
was in 2001. In December of 2001, she came
to me, came to the study after she had written these letters
previously. Came to me one day finally and said, Pastor, she
said, I believe with all my heart. She said, I love this Gospel.
I love Christ. I believe with all my heart and
I want to confess Him. I want to confess Him. We baptized
her. Nine months later, driving home
from work at a time when she thought not. In the prime of
life, 26 years old, the Lord came for her. He came. And I tell you, I have as much
confidence that she's with the Lord as I do Abraham, honestly,
as I do Jacob. Get in the ark. The Lord's coming. As I say, I can't scare you into
it. Oh, but seeing that all these things are dissolved, oh my.
And the closeness of the time, time is near, and our desperate
need. Come to Christ is all I can say.
Come to Christ. Alright, let's, in closing, number
255. Let's stand and sing a couple of verses.
