My wife one time said to me,
she said, talking about song leaders, and she as much as said, I like
Joe's song leaders better than yours. But that didn't bother
me a bit. Not a bit. I've been in places where they
had professional song leaders. I was in one place, and this
fella absolutely made me nauseous. Oh, he was young. Boy, he was
just really carrying on. But you could tell he was getting
paid. And Joe doesn't do any of that,
does he? What he does is smile. I appreciate it. That shows me
he knows what he's singing. That other fellow knows the notes,
but didn't know the gospel. Well, 1 Peter 4, 1 Peter chapter
4, I want you to read one verse with me. 1 Peter 4, verse 7. 1 Peter 4, verse 7. One verse. But the end of all
things is at hand. Is everybody looking at this?
Look at the verse here. Verse 7. But the end of all things
is at hand. Be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer." Now, he begins this with but,
doesn't he? So you've got to go back at least
a couple of verses. He's talking to a believer. And in verse three and four,
he says to believers that there was a time when you act like,
and I'm just paraphrasing verse three, there was a time when
you acted like the world, the Gentiles, carrying on, not giving
God a thought. But not now. God is in all your thoughts. He said concerning most persons,
he said, God's not in all their thoughts. They think about a
lot of things. People think about a lot of things,
don't they? This is the busiest society. Everybody's busy thinking and
doing a lot of stuff, aren't they? The scripture says, but
God really is not in all their thoughts. remarking to my brother
this morning how that, you know, if a person, a thinking person,
would listen to the truth, it would make them stop and start
thinking. And think about all this nonsense
that's going on in the name of religion. It'd stop and make
them think. You know, people, they're not. They're not thinking
about God. six days a week anyway. It's just so. But there was a time, you see,
when every believer was that way. I just confess that God wasn't
in all my thoughts. Everything else was. Whatever
it may be, you know, hot rods, girls or whatever it may be. But it's not that way now. And
verse 4 says, now you're strange. They think it's strange. Now
you think about God. I mean, you're living because
in Him you live and move and have your being. You're living
your whole life. You're alive because you're sitting
in somebody's hand. You're sitting in a big hand.
The God in whose hands thy breath is, the Scripture says. We're
living. People just stop and think, why does my heart beat? This thing in my chest that's
keeping me alive, why does it beat? I don't have a battery. I do
have one. I'm wearing this little battery.
But this is not a pacemaker. You got a battery? Keeps your
heart beating? Your lungs? My car is, well, Mindy's car
is leaking oil. I got to fix something. It's
worn out. It quit. Oh, this heart, 70 years. Sam, it's made of flesh. It's
made of flesh. It's not made of steel. What? Breathe. That's what Job said
in Job 14. Breathe. Let his heart keep pumping. until it's over. That's it. And don't think about God. Don't think about Him. But God says, I've chosen you
that you might know and understand that I am He. And may you live and acknowledge
your God. That's life, you know? That's life. Well, he says, and
they think it's strange. Where are you going? Going to
church. What? Your day off? You work six days a week and
you're going to spend it at church? Yeah, I'm going to give thanks
to God for the breath I'm breathing right now. and the job I have, and the home
I'm living in, and the car I drove to work, and the husband I have,
and the wife I have, and the children He gave me, and the
bread I eat, and the water I drink, and the clothes I wear. Yeah,
I'm going to thank God." Well, you're strange. Strange. You're strange, man. Who's strange
here? They think it's strange. I think a man's strange who doesn't
stop and give God thought. I think the man who has everything
he has as a gift, and he doesn't stop and consider where it came
from, I think he's strange. And if it wasn't for that grace
of God, I still wouldn't be giving him a thought. It's not me. Oh, no, it's not me. But the end of all things is
at hand. All breath. The water dried up. You know what keeps this planet
going? The water. If men stop and think
about that, where does water come from? Where does water come from? You
say it comes from the river or the ocean. No, no, no, no, no.
Where'd that come from? It comes up out of the ground.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It comes from the sky. It just comes down. This planet
exists because of water. It's called the water of life.
If it wasn't for water, it'd die. That may very well be the
way God burns this thing up with odor in it. Water. Water. The end's at hand. The end of
all things is at hand. The water can't last forever. It's not going to keep raining.
The end of all things is at hand, he said. And so he says to believers,
be ye therefore sober and watch unto prayer. The end of all things
is at hand. Turn over with me quickly to
2 Peter chapter 3. The end is at hand. How do I
know? You know, I know that most everybody
right now is thinking about Y2K, aren't they? That's what they think is going
to be the end. Some ridiculous religious place
out on 220 business actually had on their bulletin board,
pray for Y2K. People, that's right there, that's
proof that the end is near. That's just so ridiculous that
it doesn't bear commenting on. The people are they're concerned
about why to carry on to the end of known civilization civilization
is going to be because Microsoft won't go down. That's it. Go to the cave, get
you some food, pile it up. Me, I'm more worried about Windows
95 breaking down than the windows of heaven being shut. Well, all things point—things
like that point to the end. You know, that's commentary on
the end. You can be sure, though, that
it won't end January 1, 2000. If you want to quote me on that,
you say, no man knows the day or the hour. I do know the day
it won't be. I know that. Why? Because as
Christ said, at a time you think not. And everybody, you know,
when January 1st rolls around, often thought of this, Ed, what
about people in Australia? When is it January 1st? Anyway. Besides, do you know that most
Bible scholars believe that the year 2000 was about five or six
years ago? Do you know that? Bible scholars believe that the
millennium has already already passed. About five or six years
ago. The end is at hand. And you can
be sure it's not going to be January 1st. But because at a
time when you think not. But it may be today. Maybe tomorrow. Pray for Y2K? It may not be. Goodness gracious. Don't boast ourselves of tomorrow.
Pray for today. Why pray for January 1st? Pray
for March 29th. Is this the 29th? Look at my bulletin. Pray for
today. Look at 2 Peter 3. Now, here's
a commentary on the end. 2 Peter 3, verses 7 and 8. The
heavens and the earth, which are now, and by the same word,
are kept in store reserved unto fire against the day of judgment
and perdition of ungodly men. Beloved, be not ignorant of this
one thing. One day is with the Lord as a
thousand years, and a thousand years is one day. Now, Peter
wrote that almost 2,000 years ago, didn't he? When he said
the end is at hand. Peter wrote that 2,000 years
ago. Men say, see? He said it was
near. And it didn't. Where's the promise of His coming?
All things continue. They have for 2,000 years. 2,000
years. Today is 1,000 years. God knows no time, except the
time appointed by Him. Time seems long and short to
us, but known unto God are all His works from the beginning.
It's all done. It's all according to plan, purpose.
That's what Job wrote in Job 14. Now, back to 1 Peter 4. Paul said the night is far spent,
the day is at hand. And you know that everybody Peter
wrote that to when he said there in 1 Peter 4, verse 7, the end
of all things is at hand. You know that everybody he wrote
that to at the time, it was over. It's over. It was at hand for
them. The end of all things for them. We got some people in here in
their 60s. We've got some people in here
in their 70s. It's over. It's over. Charles, you don't
mind me Saying this, you believe this, don't you? You're living
on borrowed time. You're over 70. It's over. The
end's at hand. See that? The end's at hand. Job said,
over in Job 14, he said, The number of man's months are with
God. Thou hast appointed his bounds
he cannot pass. The instrument of every person
in here's death has already been determined and you can't pass
it. Seat belt or not. And so Peter says, see now when
you think about it like that, Peter says end of all things is at hand. My best friend, 15
years old, and I was 15 years old, just one year older than
my daughter. One of the neighborhood boys
came running over next door, pounding on the door frantically,
and said, Mark and Todd are not breathing. They spent the night
in the basement over there and said, I went to wake them up,
they're not breathing. Mark was my childhood friend. I grew up
with him from two years old on. Two years old on, my best friend,
Mark Boggs. He said, they're not breathing.
I ran across the street, 15-year-old boy, ran across the street, went
down in this basement, and there's two boys, one 15, one 14, laying
there on the ground foaming at the mouth. I listened with no heartbreak.
We drug them out of there. Drug him out of there. I tried
to give resuscitation. He's dead. He's 15, but he's
dead. My 21-year-old brother, 21 years
old. That's so young, isn't it? He's
dead. I'm 42, and 42 is young. uh... forty two-year-old sister
two children i was fifty four-year-old fifty-four years old and that's
the only fifty fifty-five fifty-four young and Fifty four years old a mother. Well she saw her grandchild for
very very briefly just a few months she's dead. She's dead. Fifty four that's
young isn't it. So young. Fifteen. They die too. Twenty one. Oh, I've got the world by the
tail now. I'm free, white, and 21. Dead. 42. Life begins at 40. Did you know
that, Polly? Cheer up, Polly. Life begins at 40. No, it might
end. It just might end. It wasn't
matter. It wasn't matter. The end of all things is at hand. In Deuteronomy 32, Moses said,
Oh, that they were wise and would consider their latter end. A man goeth to his long home,
Job said, from which he shall not return. That's what the whole
Turn back to Job 14 with me, OK? Job 14. We'll go back there
quickly. I don't have any idea where I
am in my notes, but let's just go to Job 14. I remember we're
supposed to go there. The end of all things is a ham. Certainly, our life, the end
of it's a ham. Twenty one maybe. Forty two. Getting closer. Fifty four. Maybe. Seventy. It's a certain
day. It's at hand. Be sober. Paul said that, and Paul and
Peter both, between the two of them, said it ten times, be sober.
Paul over in Titus 2 said it to old men, be sober. He said
it to older women, don't be a clown, be sober. He said it to young men, young men,
how can a young man be serious? He better. Young ladies, oh,
but life is full of gaiety, be sober. The end of all things
is that, be sober. Watch unto prayer. You know, some young person in
here might be thinking, oh, I'm not ready for Christ to come.
I'm not married yet. I want to have children and all
that. That underscores the fact that you need Christ, doesn't
it? Because if you're married a hundred
years, It's gone, and it doesn't matter
a hill of beans whether he's married or not. It won't matter
a hill of beans, because it's going to be that in heaven there's
no marriage or given in Mary. That underscores the fact that
you need Christ now. Seek ye first the kingdom of
God and his righteousness. You leave your marriage and the
future to Christ. You might not have one, you see.
Now is the day of salvation. Today. But I'm not ready for
Christ to come out. You see what I'm saying? He's coming. He's coming unto
them that look for him. In Job 14, now, he said be sober,
didn't he? He said be sober. Look at this. And oh, I wanted
to, John, I wanted, I'd love to just go through Job 14. Talked
about the root and just the scent of water. If there's a root there,
oh, just a little bit of water will cause it to grow. The root
of the matter's in a man, that's Christ, all this is a picture
of Christ. But verse 10, we read verse 5, man's days are determined,
the number of his months with thee. Don't know how many it
might be, 15 years, 21, who knows? God knows, it's with him. Verse
10, man's gonna die and waste away, give up the girl, where
is it? Where is it? Where is it? And then he talks about a root,
you know, that if a tree, you can cut a tree down and it looks
dead. Take like an old locust. You
know, some of you men, Henry, you've got locust posts, that
fence post, don't you? You ever had one of them start
sprouting? Sure you have. An old fence post, you know,
it'd be planted for years, and all of a sudden, a sprout grows
out of that thing one day. I thought it was dead. He says,
there's hope of a tree. What about man? Have you ever
known anybody rise from the grave? A lot of people die, and a lot
of people have been put in the ground. I don't care what the
National Enquirer says. It doesn't matter. Nobody's ever seen anybody walk
out of one of those. except one. Christ. They say he did. And they say there's a few others
that he. He wrote, he writes. But where is it? Where is it?
Huh? That ought to sober us up, shouldn't
it? Sober us up. What does sober
mean? It says be sober. The end of all things is a hand
be sober. What does that mean? What does it mean to be sober?
Well, it means exactly what you're thinking right now. Don't be
drunk. That's what it means. But you know, you can be drunk
on a lot of things. Not just talking about alcohol. Not just talking about alcohol.
That goes without saying. A drunk person doesn't think
about God, doesn't think about death. He wouldn't be defying
death if he was thinking about death, right? A drunk person's
not thinking about God, or else he wouldn't be behind the wheel,
or else he wouldn't be doing what he's doing. He's not thinking
about God. But the drunk, who's drunk? Everybody gets drunk on
something. Most everyone becomes intoxicated
with something, inebriated by something, with something or
someone. to the point that they don't think straight. You see,
you drink too much liquor and you can't think straight. If you think about anything or
anybody too much, you won't think straight. You won't think straight. Everyone
in here has been taken up with something or somebody that you
just weren't thinking right. Most of us It was another person, the opposite
sex, right? You know, and you can become
absolutely enamored with something or someone to the point that
that's all you think about, day and night. You go to sleep thinking
about this, you wake up thinking about this, right? You're drunk. You're not thinking straight.
Persons, places, things. Let's take these things, marriage.
young people in here young people you know God does put this within
them so that they'll get married he does put a desire to get married
in young people that's fine that's of God but not not if that's
all they ever think about and I can tell you this how do I say this without making
it sound like it sounds All you think about before you're
married is getting married. You don't think straight. You
don't think about anybody or anything but getting married
to that person. And then after a while, you get married and
you think, why was I? Why was I just absolutely? Right now, everybody in here
Now admit it, admit it now. Everyone in here is married and
thinks, why was I in such a big hurry? Huh? Young people? That's right. Why was all I was
thinking about was getting married? Young ladies are put within their
motherhood. And that's fine. I'm glad. God
gave it to women. He didn't give a lot to men.
I'm glad he gave it to women, they take care of their children,
most of them. But it gave them a desire to
have babies, to be mothers, you know, want to be mothers. And
that's all young married women or even before they're married,
oh, I want to have a baby, I want to get married, I want to have
a baby, it doesn't matter who I marry, I just want to have
a baby. That's about right. That's about right. Doesn't matter
if that guy's a jerk and he's not going to work a day in his
life. I want to have a baby. And then after about two or three
feedings at 2 a.m., he said, why was I, why did I want to
have a baby? Huh? At mothers, every mother,
let's see a show of hands, never done this before. Every mother
in here at some point thought, why did I want so bad to have
a baby? Huh? Come on, ladies. All I thought about was having
a baby. Why? Oh, I want to have a good house.
I want to get a house. And then you get a house. Oh,
boy. You've got a house. And no bigger
than a house. The warehouse you got. Money
pits. Gotta get a car. Let's get two cars. Well, let's
get three cars. And then all three break down
at the same time. Should I add a horse and buggy?
Huh? It's all so ridiculous, isn't
it? All you think about, get drunk on it. Get drunk on it. That's all you
think about. Be sober. You know I said be sober. These
babies are nothing more than live baby dolls. You remember
the article in the bulletin where Mindy asked her children you
know the name. Yes. Catherine. That's your name.
Catherine. Hannah. Andrew were you in on
that. Andrew. Who else. Sarah. Ask their children in
the class down there to name some things that they were all
taken up with when they were really young. Things they really
thought, if I don't have this, I'm going to die. dog, like ever made. Oh, she wanted that thing so
bad that she wouldn't go anywhere without it. Oh, me, you'll forget.
Cabbage Patch Kid. And I've got news for you. Your
mother and I have saved that. And this Christmas, we got you a cabbage patch dog. But there was a time when she
absolutely had to have one. Wanted it bad. Couldn't live
without it. Grown-up babies get that way.
Don't they, Jenny? Cabbage patch kids don't scream
at 2 a.m. Cabbage patch kids don't grow
up, though, when they're 14 and shake their fist in your face
and say, I hate you, I hate Dad. You stay out till 2 a.m. while
you're sitting up worried to death about them. I mean worried
to death. Breaking your heart. That's to Andrew. Andrew said,
Legos. Guess what? Andrew, guess what? Red and Deborah have got you. Are you ready for this? The biggest
set of Legos they make. Legos. Houses are Legos. They're just Legos, aren't they? It's all funny, isn't it? It
is. Man's foolish. Man's an absolute fool. He's
sober. Don't be thinking about something
serious. Things that last. What last? What if you gain the whole world?
If you have the largest collection of dolls. The largest set of
Legos. Every toy money can buy. You're
going to die. Let me tell you this. The saying goes. He who dies with the most toys. Let me tell you how that really
reads. He who dies with the most toys
loses. That's exactly what our Lord
said. What shall it profit a man to
gain the whole world and lose his soul? One technique. So man lies down. Verse 14, If
a man die, shall he live again? Yep. You know that each one of
those persons that I talked about a while ago, Mark Box, Robert Mayhem, Rebecca Coffey,
Joyce Ballard, and your loved ones, your friends, they're not
dead. Their souls are somewhere. And they're not dead. Their soul
is something. There's life. There's something
else, she said. What do you think makes this
body move? Huh? When I go to sleep, am I dead? When I go to sleep tonight, am
I dead? My body's at rest, but I am. You dream, don't you? Your brain's
still working. So that animating principle, the soul, that makes
this body move, goes back to God that gave it. God in whose hands the breath
is, He mans a living soul. And He puts him in a vessel like
a body. This is real serious. Be sober
now. I'm not saying anything funny
right now. He dies. The body goes to the
ground. And it rocks. I mean, it absolutely
rocks. In a few years, they could dig
you up and they wouldn't find anything. Not hide, not hair. But you're somewhere. You're somewhere. Where? That's what Joe Bell was talking
about. Most important thing of all to be sober, to be thinking
about. Where is he? Where is he? And men got all
kinds of opinions, don't they? Where do they get their opinions?
There's only one thing, one place to tell us. Look at it, all right? Job 14. If a man dies, shall
he live again? Job said this, all the days of
my appointed time will I wait. Will I wait? In other words,
I'm going to lie in the grave. My body is anyway. I'm going
to be somewhere. till my change come." Change? Look at verse fifteen, Thou shalt
call, and I'll answer you. Thou wilt have a desire. In other
words, you've got something in the work of your hands, what
you've done in me, for me. Thou shalt call. All right, let
me close this up, all right? Thou shalt call. Man, the scripture
says, is dead in trespasses and sin. He's dead spiritually. What that
means is And that's why I started this whole thing out by saying
that people don't give a thought to God. Remember me saying that?
To begin with, people don't give God a thought. Why? They're dead
to God. Dead to God. Dead in trespasses
and sin. Oh, they're alive in the world
like a maggot. That's the reason we're called worms. That's what
maggot means. Maggot lives on dead things, dying things. That's
what... Maggots don't live in live bodies, they live in dead
bodies. And that's the reason he calls mankind worms. Because man lives on dead things.
It's worth everything in it. Everybody in it is dead and dying.
And man's real alive about dead things. God gives life. He gives all men breath and life
and all that. Like a pig. Like a cow. Like
a horse. Just chewing, just chewing, chewing,
chewing, looking down, chewing, chewing, looking down. Just never
looks up. Pigs don't consider Why have I got this grass? Look,
cows don't consider, why have I got this grass? And a cow,
the whole flock of cows will be eating on the ground like
this, and God just makes the grass grow, and they just eat
and eat and eat. And then one by one, they're taken off to
the slaughter. One by one, cows are taken off and butchered! The other cows look up and say,
where'd he go? What'll happen? Huh? The cows stop and say, he
didn't come back. What happened? What's out there? Hey farmer, what's going on? Do you hear cows do that? That's
man. He's dead and trespasses his
land. Dead, dead. And what did I want? He's taking
them, taking them, taking them, taking them, taking them. They're dead. Like a beast. But God calls some by the gospel. Hey, chaos! Hey, sinner! God brings! Gave you the grass
you eat. In Him you live and move and
have your being. Gave you the breath you're breathing.
Gave you the child you had. Gave you the house you're living
in. Gave you the clothes you're wearing. God, who's angry with
the wicked, is going to wipe the whole mess out. Going to
wipe it all out. Burn it up! Burn it up! Not God loves everybody.
No! That's not what this book says. If men were sober, they'd consider
that it. Being a drunk on what preachers
are telling them, God loves you, God loves you. Maybe, maybe not. God's angry. But God's merciful. Sent his son, Jesus Christ. Oh,
I love this son. Tell you what God thinks about
sinful man. You know what God thinks about
sinful man? And talk about me. Talk about you. Talk about young
people. You know what God thinks about sinful man? He hung his
son. God hung his son on an old, rugged,
splintered piece of wood. And he says, that's me. God loves me, I'll tell you about
it. He hung me, right there is me, right there is every sinner,
and he cut his throat. How am I telling you God loves you?
I'm telling you outside of Christ, God's angry with you, absolutely
angry with you. What do you think about my son?
What do you think about my son? The gospel. What we're doing
here? Oh, let's talk about Jesus Christ. Oh, let's talk about
mercy. Oh, let's talk about grace. Oh, let's talk about blood. Huh? Young people. Everybody's heard
of that. Blood, blood, blood, blood. Talk about blood. Why?
Because without the sharing of blood, there's no remission of
sin. Outside of being in Christ by faith, God's angry with you. I tell you, He's angry with you. What's the age of accountability?
I don't know. Scripture does not say. Where is Mark Boggs? Fifteen-year-old
young man. Where is he? I don't know. He's either in Christ or he's
not. You'll call. This is what the
gospel is. It's what the gospel is. And
some dead cows hear it. They hear it. I hear what you say, I'm preaching.
I hear it. And they flee to Christ for mercy.
I see them, not with these eyes, but with the eyes of... I hear
it. He says, Thou wilt call, I'll answer. Did he say that? David say that? When you said,
Seek my face, what did David say, John? Thy face will I seek. Tell the young people this. Seek
the Lord. It's remember now thy Creator
in the days of thy youth. Because you don't have a life
ahead of you. You might not. Mark Boggs, Robert
Mahan, Rebecca Coffey, George Ballard. Trying to scare me, preacher. Knowing, therefore, the terror
of the Lord would persuade men. Now, folks, be sober. And watch unto prayer. Peter went on to say, watch unto
prayer. What does that mean? It means
call on the Lord. Call on the Lord. Watch. Watch
unto prayer. Give diligence. Make your calling
and election sure. You're called by the gospel.
Some answer. Young people. I told you about
that young girl that wrote me a letter and she said, well, Twenty years old now. She wrote
me a couple of years back. It appeared that the Lord called
that young girl eighteen. She's now living on her own in
an apartment working out there and wrote to me just saying how
much the gospel. Twenty years old. Some people got calls and they
didn't answer. He says, I love that next verse,
don't you Sidney? And all my sins are in a bag. God's not angry with his own,
those that he calls. The answer, they come to cry,
I'm not angry with them. Their sins are in a bag, sealed
up, and it's all good. It's all good. Everything works
together for their good. And there's nothing to worry
about. Nothing to worry about. Nothing to worry about.
And they'll wait. They'll watch. And it's a prayer.
And boy, when the time comes, the Lord, and the man stands
up and says, the Lord's coming, the end of all things, and hey,
and they'll say, well. Amen. Amen. I couldn't have said that. I
sure couldn't. But honestly, let me just be
real honest with you here, OK? I mean this. Paul said it. He said, I have a desire to part
and be with the Lord. Which is far better. I thought
to myself, how wonderful. and the Mayhens. Todd and Lynn, their daughter,
their only daughter, and me and Hannah were going to all get
on the same airplane together. We were going to be on the same
airplane. I thought, wouldn't it be wonderful? I mean it. Wouldn't it be wonderful? I won't feed my daughter Kool-Aid.
No, sir. But what if he took us together? Well, that'd be wonderful. It may be. I don't know. But it's coming. It's coming. Is that one way or another? Well, all the days of my appointed
time I'll wait till my change come. Till my change come. It's coming. Oh, change and decay in all around
I see. Oh, thou who changest not, abide
with me. I want the root of the matter
in me. All right, Brother Joe, what number? 235. And let me
just say this, all right? God doesn't save people by scaring
them to death. How do you convey these things
without a real sense of urgency? How do you? I don't know. I've
been preaching a little while, and I still don't know how to
do this without... It sounded like it's urgent,
and it is. I'm not trying to scare young
people into thinking that there may be no tomorrow, you know,
but that's the fact of the matter is. There may not be. And so your relationship with
that boy or girl, whoever it may be, doesn't matter. It doesn't
matter. It doesn't matter any more than
my relationship with this woman right here matters. It doesn't
matter when it comes to eternity. See that it doesn't matter we've
been married twenty years. When I'm dead what will it matter. One thing. So and we're not showing pictures
of burning hail. I made a reference to hail just
a short reference to hail Christ said more about it than anybody.
And I'm not trying to scare kids by telling them about hell. That
won't do it. That won't do it. But you've got to declare who
God is, don't we? A consuming fire. You've got
to declare that God's angry with the wicked every day. God declare
young people as accountable to God, don't we? Huh? If they're old enough to think
about it, they're old enough to be accountable. God declare
why Jesus Christ hung on that cross. That's what God thinks
about man. And God tell him, you better
get to Christ. You got to tell him that, don't
we? Don't a parish? You got to tell your kids, you
better get to Christ and you better get there now. And don't
wait, don't wait. God can tell you that, huh? end of all things is at hand.
So be sober. Think about these things. And
watch and pray. Call on God. Anybody old enough
to speak is old enough to talk. Call on God. All right? Number
235. Let's sing the 1st and the 3rd
and the 4th sentence. 1st, 3rd, and the 4th. you Ask me, my gentle Savior, hear
my humble cry While on earth Thou art calling to my passing
by Savior, Savior, Hear my humble cry While on others Thou art
calling Do not pass me by Was he lonely in Thy merits? Would I seek Thy praise? Heal my wounded, broken spirit. Play me by my prayer. Oh. Oh. There is greater power, my brother,
more than life will be. Those that I have left beside
me, through the skin they'll see. Oh. Oh.
