you find my subject there in
verse 12 neither is there salvation in
any other for there is none other name under heaven no place on
this earth heaven covers the whole earth No place on this
earth, this name is under heaven given among men whereby we must
not hope to, not think we will, we must be saved. Now who must
be saved? Who is it? As many as were ordained
to eternal life, they believed. All the Father giveth me shall
come to me. And I'm telling you this, that
through the name, through the authority of the greatness of
our Lord Jesus Christ, everyone whom He died for, believe me,
they must be saved. And that's through that name,
that blessed name, that glorious name. But in Acts chapter 3,
there was a miracle performed. Y'all remember the miracle. Peter
and John were going up to the temple. There's an impotent man
laying there. He's been laying. He's an old
man. He's about 40 years old. He's
laying there impotent. And he asked for some money.
Asked for some alms. And old Simon Peter looked at
him and said, we ain't got no money. We don't have no silver. We don't have no gold. But I'll
tell you what I do have. I know the Lord Jesus Christ.
I know His power. He said, In the name of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth, rise up and be made whole. Then he reached
and got him by the hand. That man hadn't walked. And the
scripture says that he got up and he began to leap and praise
God and jump around praising God. Well that got these fellas
in trouble. That got these fellas in trouble.
The first miracle recorded in Acts leads to the first persecution
of God's little flock. And it's amazing to me that the
miracles of our Lord and his apostles cause so much hatred
and opposition. When we think it's a cause for
thanksgiving, we think it's for praise and joy and worship. It causes us to worship. The
things that God does cause us to worship. And everything, everything
about true religion is supernatural. There's nothing about what God
does for us that's not supernatural. Now you think about that. It
comes from above. Salvation doesn't start with
us, it starts with God. Salvation doesn't start with
our will, it starts with His will. Salvation doesn't start
with our worth, it starts with His worth. It doesn't start with
anything we have to do or any work, it starts because of His
work. And I tell you what, from the day that God reveals Himself
to us and gives us a revelation, to the day we are regenerated
and born again, until we enter into glory, everything that happens
for us and keeps us is a supernatural act of God. The fact that we're
kept day by day by day, like we are. Not like we're going
to be, but like we are right now. That's supernatural, ain't
it? That's supernatural. And oh,
let us continue in the faith. And as they began to speak, it
says in verse 1, let's look at a few things here. In verse 1
it says, And as they spake unto the people, they were speaking
to the people they were preaching to the people and remember in
Acts chapter 3 there was about 3,000 converts 3,000 people added
to the Lord Jesus Christ that first day and in this one there's
5,000 added in this particular place and they were preaching
to the people and teaching the people speak unto the people
and then this and look what happens and they speak unto the people
Now watch what happens, watch what happens now. Now there's
about 8,000, 9,000 believers, not counting, there's 120 gathered
in the upper room. 3,000 were saved, 5,000 this
day, so you're talking 8,000, less than 10,000 people, and
there ain't but about 4 or 5 leaders, 6 or 7 leaders. That's all there
are. They don't have many preachers.
They didn't have many preachers no more than they got many preachers
today. But there was a great bunch of believers, and there
were a few leaders, and none of them had much experience.
You know, they had been following the Lord Jesus Christ, and he
revealed himself to them for 40 days and 40 nights before
he ascended to glory, and Peter started on the day of Pentecost
preaching. And there's a small band of people,
and what a small band compared to the Jewish nation. But all
the powers that be came against these few little old folks. All
the powers that be. Look at the list of those that
were against them. First it talks about the priests. The priests that were in the
temple. and then there's the captain of the temple. He's the
one who rules that place. And the Sadducees. Now the Sadducees
were a group of people who did not believe in a resurrection,
did not believe in the spirit, and did not believe in angels.
These folks didn't believe anything. I don't know why in the world
they even called themselves believers. And then it says here in verse
5, and look what it says here. And it came past on the morrow
that the rulers and elders and scribes rulers, elders, and scribes. So there's one, two, three, four,
five, six group of people so far. Now watch what happens here.
And then Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, a fellow named John,
and then there's Alexander, and then all the kindred of the high
priest. There was a bunch of folks there
with two preachers. Look what a crowd that took over
500 people went after our Savior one night And they had torches
They had swords and they had all 500 people and a whole bunch
of Romans you went to get to master To get one man 500 people
went after one man. Here's all these people gathered
around to be a What in the world is it that makes folks despise
and hate the things of God and the things of Christ? What is
it? And all they got together. And
our Lord Jesus Christ, when they come out after Him, they said,
who are you looking for? He stood right out in the front.
He walked right out and looked them in the eye. He said, who
are you looking for? Jesus of Nazareth. I am. They backed up. Oh my. These were enemies. They were the princes of the
world. Why were the princes of the world so upset? It says in
verse 2, being grieved. They were highly incensed. That's
what that means. They were highly incensed. What
made them so highly incensed? That they taught the people.
That's the first thing that bothered them. Because we're the ones
that are supposed to teach the people. We're the ones with all
the power and authority. And this is what really upset
them. That they preached through Jesus
the resurrection from the dead. Now that's what upset them. Now
you keep Acts chapter 4 and look in Matthew 27 with me. Look over
here in Matthew 27. Let me show you something here
what these fellas thought. Matthew 27 verse 62. And they taught the people. And
these men considered themselves to be the teachers. And that's
why they were upset with our master. Because of the way he
taught. What he taught. Now look here. What it says here in verse 62
of Matthew chapter 27. Now the next day, that followed
the day of the preparation, the Passover is what they're talking
about. The chief priests and Pharisees came together. unto
Pilate, saying, Sir, we remember, now listen to this, Sir, we remember
that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, after three
days I'll rise again. They understood, he said, after
three days I'm coming back out, I'm coming back. Now watch what
they said. Command therefore that the sepulcher
or the grave be made sure unto the third day, lest his disciples
come by night and steal him away, and say unto the people, he is
risen from the dead. So the last error, the one that
we made, shall be worse than the first. Pilate said unto them,
you've got a watch. You've got people that can set
a watch. Go your way and make it as sure as you can. So they
went and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone and setting
a watch. So they understood that he said,
I'm going to rise again. And that's what they said, said
he's preaching unto them the resurrection from the dead. They knew that he said he's going
to rise again. And oh my, they taught the people.
These men were the teachers. They were usurping their authority,
they thought. And then look what it says there
in verse 13. Now when they saw the boldness
of Peter and John and perceived that they were unlearned and
ignorant men, they marveled. How did they perceive that they
were unlearned and ignorant men? How did they perceive that? What
made them think these fellas didn't know nothing? They didn't
see them in any of their schools. I don't remember seeing you over
there where I went to sit under the teacher that I sat under.
I don't remember you going to the college that I went to. What
school did you graduate from? What school did you graduate
from? And that's the first thing they said. Well, they didn't
come out of any school we was in. They didn't come out of any
school where our teachers were. Oh my. And here's these two fellas
that, ignorant and unlearned, they marveled. And this is what they did. And
they took knowledge. They found out. Said, how did
these fellows get all this? Where did all this knowledge
and things come from? He got it from the Lord Jesus
Christ. That's where we got it. We got it from the Lord Jesus
Christ. And that's what they hated about our Lord Jesus. His
teaching and His authority. I'm going to show you something.
Again, over in Matthew chapter 7. I want you to see this too. Matthew chapter 7. What they hated about our master
was his teaching, his authority. In Matthew chapter 7 verse 28. In fact, they sent to arrest
him one day and they sent some fellows to around waiting for
him to get through speaking and they were going to arrest him.
And they came back to the Pharisees and said, well, why didn't you
arrest him? Why didn't you bring him? They said, well, we got
to listening to him, got to hearing what he had to say. And we found
out, man, I've never heard anybody ever speak like this man. Nobody ever spoke like him. I
just couldn't understand. It was amazing how he spoke.
Now look what he says here in verse 28. And it came to pass,
when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished. First
of all, at his doctrine, his teaching. For he taught them
as one, having authority. And listen to this, not like
the scribes. Them fellas ain't got no authority. They just make
suggestions. That's all they do. And they
had killed the Lord Jesus Christ, now they had to deal with these
people. These two men. Well, what's the weapons that
they used to fight the Lord Jesus Christ? What's the weapons they
used to fight these apostles? What's the weapons they used
to fight against the church of our Lord Jesus Christ? Just naked
power. That's the only authority they
would have. You know, they didn't have any power at all. None. And they first tried to intimidate
them. They just said, well, we're the
ones in authority here. And they first tried to indemnify
them. And the first thing they done, they suddenly came upon
them, arrested them, and stopped them while they were preaching.
Stopped them while they were teaching. As they spake unto
the people, in verse 1, the priest and the fable of the Sabbath
came upon them. Came upon them. You know that
may happen in our day. I don't know. It may happen before
we leave this world. That people will come into the
buildings and take people out. We may see that happen one of
these days. Because there's plenty of people in this country that
absolutely hate the things of God. They hate Christianity.
They despise it. They don't want nothing to do
with it. They think you're a fool. And you know, in most of these
colleges, you know, they will say that you're an idiot if you're
stupid enough to believe the Bible. You're stupid enough to
believe God's Word. You're stupid enough to trust
Jesus Christ. And I tell you what, they think
we're idiots. They think we're stupid. They
think we're ignorant. And the first thing they did
was try to intimidate them. They come upon them suddenly,
arrested them, stopped them. They were saying, we've got the
power to do that. If you preach what they're saying
is, we let you. And if we decide you can't preach,
we'll stop you. We've got the power to arrest
you any time. But oh, you think these fellas were intimidated?
Oh, listen, I bet they had to take baby aspirins, you know,
to get over it. They went to biting their fingernails, said,
how are we going to get out of this mess? Oh my goodness, what are
we going to do? These guys got us all hemmed
up. What are we going to do? Look what it says here now. when they saw the boldness of
Peter and John. These fellas just stood there
and let them fellas talk, let them go on about their, you know,
they wasn't a bit more impressed. They wasn't impressed and they
wasn't intimidated. You know what? It takes a lot
to impress a believer. It really does. You think about
it. You think about what it takes
to impress a believer. You know the only thing that
really impresses a believer? A person who is really saved
by the grace of God? Other believers. That's what
impresses them. Men and women who commit themselves
to the Lord Jesus Christ and prove it day in, day out, week
in, week out, year in, year out, over and over and over and over.
That's the people that impresses us. It's not the people who've
got money. It's not the people who've got
big cars. It's not the people who run Washington DC. It's not
the people who does the things in this world. It's not the Wall
Street that impresses us. It's not people walking around
showing off their wealth. It's the Lord Jesus Christ and
His people. That's what impresses us. You know why it don't impress
us? Because God taught us that every man is exactly the same
in the sight of God. I can stand by the side of the
President of the United States and say, listen, I've got more
authority than you got. How come? Because I get my power
and authority from Jesus Christ. You get it from the government.
And that fellow that's standing there, I'll tell you what, he's
in the same condition I was in before God saved me by His grace.
And he's going to have to be saved exactly the same way God
saved me and you. Ain't that right? That's the
only thing that impresses us. And I'll tell you what, And oh, they tried to indemnify
them. They were impressed and they threatened them. Look what
it says down in verse 21. They threatened them. So when they had further threatened
them, see they threatened them some more. Finding nothing how they might
punish them because of the people for all men, listen to this,
all men glorified God for that which was done. Oh my. And I tell you, the charge they
made against them, the answer, and here's the thing about this,
you know they mentioned the Lord Jesus Christ's name five times
in this chapter. Five times. That's what we're
talking about, the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. What was the
charge they brought against them? Look what it says there in verse
7. And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, by
what power or by what name have you done this? Well, where did you get the authority
for this? What name did you use? Who gave you the authority? Where
did you get this power at? And I tell you, all the authority
is in one man's name. And God put all the authority
in that one man's name. Ain't that what he says there
in verse 12? Neither is there salvation. Now
there is salvation. Thank God there is salvation.
But salvation is by one person. Salvation is by one man. Salvation
is accomplished by the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone. That's
one person. That's what He says here. One
person. And He says there's only one
name. One name. And there's no other
name. That's what He said, under heaven.
And wherever you go on this earth, you're under the heavens. If
you're in the middle ocean on a ship, you're under the heavens. If you're down in a cave, you're
still under the heavens. And I'll tell you, God said that
there ain't no other name. No other person's got the authority.
No other person's got the words. No other person has the ability
to do anything for anybody other than Jesus Christ. Todd and I
were talking the other day. And here's the situation. That through Jesus Christ, if
you know who Jesus Christ is, every answer that there is for
mankind is found in whether you know Jesus Christ or not. But if you know who Jesus Christ
is, then you know how lost man is. You know how desperately wicked
man is if you know who Jesus Christ is. And if you know who
Jesus Christ is, you know the only way that you can come to
God is by Him. And if you know who Jesus Christ
is, the only place you can get a righteousness is His. The only
way you can be born again is by Him. The only way you'll be
accepted is in the Beloved. The only way you can be kept
is by His power. The only way you'll ever see
inside of glory is because of Him. And I tell you, sometimes
I get to warn the guys. I say, Lord Jesus, let me come
home and be with you. Oh, let me come home and be with
you. Let me go be where you are. That's the only reason we want
to go. It's because that's where He is. He's the answer to our
death and sin. He's the answer to our blessed
hope. He's the answer to everything we need. Bless His holy name. There's no other name. My name
don't mean nothing. When I get to glory, I won't
be nobody but another sinner saved by grace. I ain't got my name now. The
only reason I've got a name that's worth anything is because of
Jesus Christ. Ain't that right? Oh my. And all Peter was filled
with the Holy Ghost. Now they're going to see what
power is. They're going to see what power means now. We're going
to show you what power means. Spirit filled men, you know what
they always do? They always preach the Lord Jesus
Christ. Oh my! You're examining us this
day because of some miracle that took place? Said, we didn't do
that. What did He says in verse 10
here? Be it known unto you and to all the people of Israel,
everybody, that by the name, again there's that name, of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth, Now watch what he says here. Whom you crucified. Whom you crucified. Now let me
say something right here. If you didn't have a part in
the death of the Lord Jesus Christ, you'll not have a part in his
glory. He was there because of me. And if I'd have been alive in
those days, I'd have been right there screaming mob at him. I would have done like everybody
else, I would have put thumbs down. And if it hadn't been for the
grace of God, I would still be doing that. Oh my! You know, you got to go to the
cross and you got to have your part in the death of the Son
of God. Because it was your sins that was on Him. It was my sins
that was on Him. God was punishing him not for
anything that he did, but for what we did. He wasn't dying
for anything that he ever done. He's dying for everything we
ever did. He's dying for every sin we ever
committed. He's dying for every awful evil
thought we've ever had. And you crucified him. Oh my! Oh, listen, let me hear, Peter
gave a four-part sermon here. Let's look at it. He gave a four-part
sermon. First, he says you're guilty
of crucifying the Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, you're guilty of
that. They face the powers that be.
What courage, what boldness. Look over here in verse 15 of
chapter 3, verse 13 of chapter 3. Look what he says. Peter is preaching here now.
Acts 3.13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac,
and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son
Jesus, whom you delivered up, and denied in the presence of
Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. But you denied
the Holy One and the just. You denied Him. You denied who
he was. You denied his authority. You
denied his power. You denied his claims. And desired
a murderer to be granted unto you. And listen to this. And
killed the prince of life. In the margin it says you killed
the author of life. But now listen. Whom God raised
from the dead and not only that but we witnessed it I can witness to the resurrection
of Christ can't you? I can witness to the resurrection
of Christ and that's the second point he had Jesus Christ arose
from the dead God raised him from the dead now I'll tell you
something his resurrection from the dead proves everything everything
concerning our faith If Christ is not risen, we're yet in our
sins. If Christ is not risen, our faith
is vain. If Christ is not risen, then
we're of all men most miserable. But, the resurrection proves
this. First and foremost, that Christ
was God. That the Lord Jesus Christ was
God himself. God Himself. And the second thing
about it is it proves the resurrection proof that He accomplished salvation. When He said it is finished and
gave up the ghost, you know what that means? That it's done. You know the difference between
what we believe and most folks believe? We believe in done. They believe in do. We believe
it's already done. My salvation was done. 2,000
years ago. My salvation was accomplished
and complete 2,000 years ago. And a man come along and preached
the gospel to me and through reading the scriptures and God
giving me eyes to see and a heart to believe, I came to understand
that what Christ did for me 2,000 years ago is why I'm a believer
today. Ain't that right? What He did
for me guaranteed that I would one day be a believer and one
day be saved by what He did 2,000 years ago. Why? Because somebody told me that
Jesus Christ accomplished salvation. He didn't try to, He didn't hope
to, but thou shalt call His name Jesus. What's He gonna do? What's
He gonna do? He shall. save his people, his
people from their sins. And he said, all that the Father
has given me, I've lost none of them, but I'm going to raise,
not only have I lost none of them, but I'm going to raise
them up again at the last day. Oh my. I said that one time,
you know, I said, I'd love to be standing by somebody's grave,
you know, when somebody that I love or somebody that I know
be standing at their grave, maybe at a funeral sometimes. We'll
be out in the graveyard, getting ready to bury somebody. About
that time, the Lord Jesus Christ comes back, and then the ground
just starts busting open, and people just start going nuts. And then after they got gone,
you see their feet just leave there and get just a little above
you and then you're going to be changed and you're going to
go up with them. Oh, what a blessed hope we have. Oh, my. And I'll tell you, death
isn't the end for everybody, anyone at all. There is a resurrection. And God did this. God raised
him from the dead. God raised him up. And every
one of you all know that when they went to that tomb, they
found that tomb empty. And that grave, that big rock
gone. And they looked in there and
his clothes were still in there that he was in. Now if he had
come out of there by somebody stealing him, they took his grave
clothes with him. But his grave clothes were still
in there. Just the way they laid when they come out of the grave. And listen, here's what some
people are doing. They're running around trying
to find the grave clothes that Christ was in. Well if they ever
found them, burn them. People make an idol out of them.
Think they could be saved by them. Have some healing power
in them or something. People would flock to them by
the millions to see them. So if you ever found them, stick
a match to them. Ain't that right? Because salvation
is not in his grave clothes, salvation is in him. And his
resurrection proves that it is in him. And then the third thing was
God's purpose was fulfilled. Even though it is opposed. Look
what he said in verse 11. This is the stone which was set
at naught of you builders. You know what naught is? Nothing. You, this is the stone which
was set at naught. Now watch what he says to you. You builders, you think you're
building something. And said that one that you set
at naught, that headstone, that stone which you set, that's become
the head of the corner. Huh? You set him as nothing. You considered him nothing or
nobody. And look what it says, God made him the head of the
corner. Do you think, honestly think,
you can stop God's work? Look with me, you know, Zechariah,
you keep this, in Zechariah, Malachi is the last book in the
Old Testament. Zechariah is the book right before
that. Malachi, then go to Zechariah.
Look with me in Zechariah chapter 4. You gotta see this. You know, you builders said that
stone there is nothing. God said, well that's what you
think. He said, that's the head of the corner. That's the one
the whole foundation stands on. That's the one the building stands
on. That's the one that the building is going to be set on. The foundation. There's no other foundation than
the leg which is Christ Jesus the Lord. Now look what he said
here in verse 6. Then the answer spake unto me,
saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying,
Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord.
Now watch this. Who art thou, O great mountain?
O you great big leaders, a mountain stands for a kingdom. Before
Zerubbabel, you're going to become a plain. And he shall bring forth
the headstone, Now he's going to crown the building now. Foundation's been laid. And he's
going to bring on the headstone. There was shoutings crying, grace,
grace unto it. So salvation started with the
foundation of grace and is crowned off with grace. In spite of rejecting
it and opposing it and denying it, God said, I made it the head
of the corner. He doeth according to his will
in the armies of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth
and nobody can stay his head. Oh my, he says this man stands
here before you by the power of this one you crucified. The world hates personal guilt.
You know why psychiatrists and social workers and psychologists
make so much money and have so many people that go to them? Trying to get rid of guilt. Trying
to get rid of their guilt. You know how you get rid of your
guilt? through the Lord Jesus Christ. Scott Richardson used to say
when your conscience torments you and cries out for more and
more and more. He said the only thing that will
quieten the conscience that's crying for more is to get a sacrifice
that will satisfy the conscience and it will quieten that conscience.
Well what sacrifice can quieten the conscience? The Lord Jesus
Christ and His blood, His blood cleanses, cleanses from all sin. Now how do you feel guilt if
you got sin? If you ain't got no sin, you
can't have no guilt. I ain't got no sin. Why? What do you
mean you don't got no sin? Christ put it away. He put it away by the sacrifice
of himself. Oh my. The world hates personal
guilt. And it really hates that God's
will is accomplished. And that's why I said there's
no salvation in any other. And I tell you what, no other
name, this name, he says there in verse 12, there's salvation
in none other, not in any other. And if I got an opportunity to
preach to a great, big, huge crowd of people somewhere, some
way, somehow, that would be my subject. There's nobody else
in this universe, nowhere, by which God will save a man. And
that's through the Lord Jesus Christ. Buddha ain't going to
do it. We was out there, we was out
in Seattle and I don't know how many Buddhist temples I saw.
They got Buddhist temples everywhere. And the, and, and, and Japanese,
they worship, they worship their, their ancients. You know, if
a person dies, they put up a picture of them and they worship people
that's dead, their ancestors. You know, they say we come from
trees. Well, I'm going to tell you something. I've swung from
trees. Now, I've had some kinfolks probably
hung from trees, but it was because they stole a horse or something. But this name, this name that's
above every name, was given by God. God gave this name for us
to declare and to tell about it. And then it's given on men
to believe. To believe. We must be saved. How must we be saved? By this
man, this man alone. And he must be the one who does
all the saving. You know, this is no cooperative
effort. He does his part and then we
do our part. This is not this idea that God
got to give you a chance and when you get your chance, if
you will cooperate with God when he gives you that chance, then
you'll be saved. Salvation is by the will of God
through Jesus Christ. We don't cooperate, a dead man
can't cooperate. But when God gives a man life
and gives him regeneration and saves him by his grace and gives
him the new birth, the minute that life comes into that soul,
that soul automatically turns to the one who saved it. And
I tell you what, if you had one percent, one hundredth of a percent
to do with your salvation, You're not, you're 100% lost. If you've
got one 99, you know, that's not kind of average. So 99.99%
pure. Well, it's gotta be 100% all
of Jesus Christ. To Him be all the glory. Huh? Oh, He's the only Redeemer. He's the only sacrifice. He's
the only one who ever satisfied God. No one was ever like him. Holy, harmless, undefiled, separate
from sin. Now people say this is too narrow.
Yes it is. God made it that way. One way,
through my son. He said, no man, no man can come
unto me. No man can come unto me. Except through me. That's what our Lord said. That's
what our Master said. Huh? Is it too now? God made it that way. Ain't but
one way. That's the Lord Jesus Christ. Is it too exclusive? Yes it is. It's exclusively for sinners. This is exclusively for people
who were lost and had to be found. Who were dead and had to be given
life. Who were sinful and had to have their sins put away.
Who were unrighteous and had to have another righteousness
given to them. Who had no hope and now they've got a blessed
hope. Huh? Is it intolerant? Yes. We refuse
to believe anything other than there's salvation in no other
name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved
other than Jesus Christ. Huh? And I'll tell you what,
I'll tell you how narrow it is and exclusive it is and intolerant
it is. You refuse Him. You don't believe on Him. You
don't come to Him. You don't bow to Him. And if
He don't do something for you, you're a fool. You're a fool. Don't be a fool. Don't be a fool. Come to Christ. Believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ. Embrace the Lord Jesus Christ.
Be one of them people that says in your heart right now, Preacher,
I believe what you just said. I believe everything you said.
I believe everything you said. I believe that there is salvation
only in Christ. I believe that. I believe that. And if God gave
you that gift of faith, confess it for Christ's sake. Oh, blessed, blessed Savior,
our gracious, eternal God, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
thank you for allowing us to meet here this morning. Thank
you for enabling me to speak. Oh, Lord, we bless your holy
name. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for being
our Savior, for doing for us what we could not do for ourselves,
and if we could have done it, we wouldn't have done it. But
we wouldn't and we couldn't. Thank you for saving us. Thank
you for keeping us. And Lord, please continue to
keep us, preserve us, and keep us till we one day, one day,
enter into glory to be with you. In your holy name, we praise
you. Amen. Let's sing that song, There's
No Other Name. You know the chorus? You know
what I'm talking about? We sang that chorus, you know.
Something about that name. Yeah, something about that name.
I'll get it right here in a minute. I think it's in the
chorus, but if you want to look for it. Something about that name.
Jesus, what is it? Well, I think we all know it anyway. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. There's just something about
that name. Master. Savior. Jesus like the fragrance after
the rain Jesus, Jesus, Jesus Everything is in that name. All
authority and salvation is in that name. We'll see you tonight
at 6 o'clock. God willing. It's so good. I'm not going to get in the way
of that. All right. Thank you. Thank you. How long ago was that? Not many
days. Not many days. How are you? Let's do it. It's all right. We'll go with these. Yeah. They're
modern. They've got some good-looking models. They've always got some clean
prints. Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah, well, you know, he's got
a lot of history, and a lot of people have told me that he's got a lot of history, and a lot of
people have told me that he's got a lot of history, and a lot of people have told me that he's got a

people And you've got to thank yourself,
because I'm sure things seem to work out. You've got to take it one step at a time. Now you've got
to learn how to do it. You've got to take it one step at a time. Now you've got to learn how to do
it. You've got to take it one step at a time. Now you've got to learn how to do it. You've got to take

got to learn how to do it. Now you've got to learn how to do it. Now you've got I almost called you the other
day. I got a job at about 2 o'clock in the morning. I opened my refrigerator, and my top tray on the door broke.
I had to fix that back on the side. I had to start flying at 12 o'clock, 2 o'clock in the
morning. I said, I'm so cold for dinner. I'm going to open up the right-hand
door and let you know who I am. Christopher is sliding sharp
on a barsprout. And he can't fly. in the back of that sliding I have a friend standing in front
of me. I don't know him. But a singer, a participant,
a happy mom, a great father, a boy, a woman, a sister, a bride,
a neighbor, a friend, a partner, a family member, and a rival. Oh yeah, that's right. And you
know, and the thing about it is, did you hear that, Michael? and usually gets them for the
monetary reason that he might as well have lost it. So, not
all of it. Right, but otherwise, they'll get another. You know,
you don't spend $500 on drugs, but they'll get another. They're
young enough to do it. Yeah, it's, it's, it's amazing.
I got an alarm clock. I don't notice this thing. It's like
clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like
clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork.
It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like
clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like
clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork.
It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like
clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like
clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork. It's like
clockwork. It's like clockwork. It China, the same clock, 6 o'clock.
And you gotta wait 40 days to get a job. That's a, that's a
hammer. What do you do to earn a job? Y'all, I wouldn't just bring that over
from the other side of the room. Let go and get the other one.
Yeah, that's a problem. I mean, I don't know. I started doing
that a while ago, but I'm not ever going to do it again. All the importance that it brings
to all Americans is community. So if there's an impact, it's not important, it's
going to matter. He's going to raise the rent. Us, the consumer. None. If that $6 clock moves
from 24th to Friday, and an American clock that you can get in 48,
it stays the same. If it stays the same, there's
going to be less of a difference, so fewer of the Chinese people. But they're still not going to
be made better. I was reading the report that,
you know, the Chinese are working hard. A lot of the manufacturers
right now, some of the big ones, they are already moving some
of the jobs. They're going to be highly retired,
they're going to be in a late death field, but they're going
to have to support it. You might have a few managers,
some of them may be more LIA or something like that. Other than that, you know, power
on and working jobs. So, we have been on that. Now, the Chinese, that does hurt
them. In the U.S., the two is right.
I mean, they are the ones hurting. Right? In the long run, it hurts. Yeah, in the long run. If there's
two less arm blocks, it gets settled. Right, exactly. It hurts. But I, as far as bringing stuff
back to them, I'm staying. But see, I think the reason they're
not going to jump back over here is because in four years, some
of these moves are going to be over here. You know, we've got to go back
to the law to do it again. But in an example, there's a
bill before Congress right now about the $3 an hour wage job.
And if they pass it through, then, you know, for Seattle and
San Francisco now already, about $15 an hour, they're just sitting
there. Now, they want to make it home support across the U.S.
And they would be out of money if you go back 15 months. That's
going to change a lot of things. Well, that's going to change
stuff for me. Because we've got to, regardless of my age, It's like a few years ago, I
should have saved that. I had just got a buzz cut. I
can't get people in here to come into the house. I'm going to
raise $11 for the first 90 days and then immediately go home.
I've been working here for 5 years and I'm just now making $13 a
month. 90 days people I've been making
$1 a month. How's that? That's crazy! I wonder what she's doing. I wonder what's going on. Well, that's welcome to catch
for us. I'll tell you, you are so stupid. Go vacation in Venezuela. No, I can't. You know what I'm
saying? That's what I already told you. No, I'm just not that for real. Well, I ain't going there. I mean, you know, they could
pop a shit boat over there in a second, and they've got the
Russians over there now. But if, per se, you say, I would
like to go spend a month in America, they need to go spend a month
in America. But don't eat it until you've
tasted it. I work with all these kids from
Europe. You know, Sanders wants all these
people to work for him. You know, high taxes, everybody
around the corporate people. What he doesn't understand is
almost nobody in those places over there can afford money.
They all rent it. They got flats, they call them flats, apartments,
everything. I was talking to one of the students,
he laughed at me. He said, you Americans, you come
up here and buy houses like they do here. He said, you've got
a very small percentage of class of people that can afford to
buy houses. And they don't know what. Yeah,
and they don't know what. That's exactly right. He said,
that's not a good idea. If you like Stoke-on-Field, you
are better than it. If you like it that good, and
you still like it that good, then you can come back with your
vote for it. And another thing, I don't mind
Mexicans coming back with their vote. I'm not racist against
them. I'm working with Sacramento. But I don't want them voting
this place to become what they just left. to vote in the way
that brings this place to the same level as the faith. What
they've done in the past, they need to learn from, instead of
having to try again and hope for a different result. So I
think if they're educated, which it's hard, but I go to school
and I work with students. They say bad description, I don't
know what they mean. I don't speak that language.
I don't know anything. But anyway, there's supposedly
Christians, Baptist Christians, here in Kentucky. And they Really? Yes, I am. Well, we're not praising
God. He's really nice. What they did was they bought
them a refurbished And I think that they thought
they had a lot of room in terms of their business. The company
that buys the wallets, they store a lot, they're going to be able
to sell a lot of wallets. That's why it's got a lot of
ratings. Yeah, those were dark behind
us. Yeah. And these are a lot of
the rocks we had back then. Yeah, that was a lot of rocks.
Yeah, well that's good, but I don't think it's that much. It was
really nice. Yeah, I don't know. You can see it every week. Well,
we're the oldest in the family. Right. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's not feeling well. You know what happened? Yeah. I still couldn't kill him. That's
the way we are. She just warned him not to try
to take care of me. That's a full time job. Amen. Hey, you're over here singing.
That's what I'd be without her. Can you imagine? I'd be with
her. I'd be up to service in a few
days. That's just what I'd be. That's just what I'd be. That's just what I'd be. That's
just what I'd be. Boy, good meeting this morning.
Good meeting. Boy, you get, you know, you get
talking about Christ. And people honestly think they
can oppose him. It's going to have some effect
on God. They think it's going to change God. That's what those
fellas thought. But listen, we're going to change
this whole situation. They're just fools. And they thought,
well, we're going to stop these fellas from preaching. We're
going to put an end to this. Oh, boy. Peter just told them, listen. This world is full of people
that honestly think that what they feel about God and think
about God is going to change things. It doesn't change a thing,
does it? No, it ain't going to change
nothing. It's just going to change whether they spend eternity if
God don't do something for them. Right? Hmm. Om. Om. Om. Chosen in Jesus before earth
was made. destined to glory that never
shall fade. Holy and blameless before Him
I'll be, for God's rich blessings have fallen on me. It's not that I did choose thee,
O Lord, that could not be. This heart would still refuse
Thee. Hast Thou not chosen me? My heart holds none before Thee. For Thy rich grace I thirst. This knowing that if I have loved
Thee, Thou must have loved me first. Dead in transgressions
wherein I once crawled, Dead to the knowledge of my sin and
God, Captured by Satan, In bondage was I Wrath was my portion Till
Jesus came by Your love had no beginning No cause in me was
found That you should choose to save me A sinner strongly
bound, but grace not earned or sought for, was purpose for my
soul. For me salvation bought for Christ
has paid the awful toll. God, who in mercy had pity on
me, punished my sins in His Son on the tree. In heavenly places I'm seated
with Him, for I was chosen predestined in Him. T'was sovereign mercy
called me, and caught my opening mind. The world had else enthralled
me, to heavenly glories blind. Thou from the sin that stained
me, hast cleansed and set me free. of old Thou hast resolved
for me that I should live to Thee. All right. What the hell? Where are you? Where you at, butter?
