I don't have a text this morning
for you to turn to. I have six texts. And I'll give them to you after
we get into the message. It is the philosophy and the
theology of my generation. I've listened to them. for years,
not something I surmised because I listened to a single message.
I've listened to them for years. I've attended their churches,
different denominations, and I've come to the conclusion that
it is the philosophy and theology of my generation that God is
a total failure. He's a total failure in his purpose. He wants to do something, but
he can't. He's a failure. He's ignorant
in his prophecies. He said, this is going to happen. No doubt about it. This is going
to be, and then it doesn't come to pass. And he's frustrated in his will. He wants to do this, but men
won't let him. This is the philosophy. Listen
to them preach. Listen to what they say, and
I think you'll agree with me. This is the philosophy, and it's
the theology of my generation, that God is a total failure in
his purpose, ignorant in his predictions and his prophecies,
and frustrated in his divine will. It's nearly universally
preached that Christ is the last desperate attempt of a loving
God to save men and women who don't want to be saved. Preachers are telling folks that
except we help God out by our decisions and acceptance of His
Son, that everything God is purposed to do and everything God has
so far done for the sinner will have been in vain. I cannot imagine anything more
nauseous to God than that which is the theme universally of Antichrist
religion. He said, there's a stink in my
nose. What he's saying is it makes
him want to throw up. The Holy Spirit describes this
kind of heathen idolatry as worshiping and praying to a God that cannot
save. It's a God of your own making.
He can only look like what you want him to look like. He has
the image that you give him. He can't do anything unless you
attribute it to him. You set the laws by which he
has to operate. You dictate your destiny. You
dictate what he's allowed to do and what he can't do. He said
you worship and pray to a God that cannot say. Now my friend,
the Bible, I'm saying all this to say this, the Bible is not
a book of mites, it's a book of musts. The living God, the creator of
all things and ruler of all nations, always and at all times does
everything he's determined to do. There have been men like the
pharaohs in Egypt and emperors in China and other Gentile nations
that boasted of being gods, being deities. And being gods, they
had the right to do whatever they pleased. They didn't have
to ask the council. They didn't have to ask anybody
anything. All they had to do was decree
it. And it was so because they were gods. And yet, when the
infinite almighty God says that he'll do all his pleasures, we
want to strip him of the right. Isn't that something? But these men who claim to be
deities, they were defeated, frustrated, and finally died. The difference between the idols
that men call gods and the living God is the one true and living
God does everything he pleases to do. Everything. Everything. None, the scripture
said, listen to this, this is the word of God describing our
God. He said, none can stay His hand
or even question Him concerning what He does. He's God. He's God. He said, my counsel
shall stand. What counsel? That eternal counsel. That counsel of God which was
decreed before the world began, his eternal counsel, he said,
my counsel shall stand and I'll do all my pleasure. David said,
whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, in earth,
the seas, and all deep places. God does not work, I want you
to listen to me, by trial and error. That's not how God operates. Well, if the sinner does this,
God will do that. If the sinner does this, God
will do the other. God doesn't operate that way.
He doesn't work by trial and error. He doesn't work in reaction
to circumstance. The scripture said, he worketh
all things after the counsel of his own will. Everything. There's no other way that that
scripture verse that I read to you earlier in Romans 8.28 can
be so unless God works all things after the counsel of His own
will. It works together for good to
those who are the called according to His purpose. All things. All things. And there's no way
they can work together for your good unless Almighty God is behind
causing these things to be. He said, not even a sparrow,
he told his disciples, not even a sparrow, a bird that you don't
give a second thought to, not even a sparrow can fall to the
ground without your father. You think about that. I was sitting
out on the patio the other day, and I've got six patio doors
that go around. They're all glass. And I was
sitting there watching TV, and all of a sudden, boom. And I
turned around and looked, and a bird had flew into that glass
and fell on the floor. When it did, I thought about
that scripture. Not a sparrow can fall to the ground without
your father. Religion has God in tears. As he looks on the nations and
the state that they're in, they have God in tears. But in the
scriptures, a different picture is set before us. He says through
his prophet Isaiah, he said that the nations before him are as
nothing. They are as nothing. And counted
to him less than nothing. And he gives you two things to
think about to describe the nothing. Some of you in here are old enough
to remember how to draw water in a bucket. I might not look
like it, but that's how we got our water when I was a kid. We
went out to the well and had a little trap door on it, and
we'd open that trap door, and they had a little thing up here
with a pulley, and we'd let that bucket down. It had a little
weight on one side, and we'd get that water bucket full, and
we'd pull it up, and we'd pour it into the container that we
were going to take in the house. But you know what? I never sat
there with a bucket in my hand trying to get the last drop.
It didn't mean anything. I just set the bucket down. He
said the nations to him are like the drop of a bucket. And then
back then in the stores, they had a set of balances sitting
up here on the countertop. You say, I want a pound of candy.
And you point whichever one of them things was. And that man
go there, and he put a one-pound weight on one side. And he'd
go there, and he'd take that candy, and he'd pour it on there
until that thing come up in the middle. And then he'd pour it
out in his sack, and you'd take the sack home. You had a pound
of candy. But every now and then, that thing get dust on it. But
it didn't affect the scale any, that small dust that was on there,
it didn't affect anything. They didn't even bother to wipe
it off to set the scale. He said, you are all the nations,
all the people, all the inhabitants of this earth before God are
like the small dust of the balance. That's a different picture than
what religion is painting of God. The Scriptures tell us of the
true God who is God and does what He pleases to do. And His
will is done even in the vilest acts of evil men, God's will
is being carried out. Pharaoh rejected God's message
and His messenger. And the Scripture said Pharaoh
hardened his heart. He hardened his own heart. But
it's also written that God hardened his heart. Everything Pharaoh
did warranted the wrath of God on him. Everything did. But the
scripture says, even for this same purpose have I raised thee
up. God raised him up in power and gave him the seat of the
most powerful kingdom in the world for no other reason than
to take him out and dump him in the sea to manifest his power. And he did. He did. Men and women, I'll give you
another example. Men and women who will not receive the love
of the truth that they might be saved. They won't receive
it. They won't accept it. They won't bow to it, submit
themselves to the things of the Holy Spirit of God. They won't
do it. They won't receive the love of
the truth that they might be saved. And they're deceived. They're deceived by anti-Christ
religion. They're deceived by all these
men that are around them, and they won't receive the truth.
They'll take a lie. They'll run to the light. They
love darkness rather than light. They'll go to the darkness. If
you were of the world, our Lord told his disciples, the world
would love his own. But you're not of the world.
I've chosen you out of the world. Therefore, the world hateth you.
And they receive not the love of the truth that they might
be saved. They've done everything to justify
God in his condemnation of them. It's their fault. You can't lay
the blame to God. It's their fault. They had opportunity. They had a grand opportunity.
Our Lord said to Tyre and Sidon, He said, if the things which
were done in you were done in Sodom and Gomorrah, they'd have
all repented in sackcloth and ashes. Therefore, He said, your
penalty is going to be worse than theirs. They deserve what
they did. They deserve to be deceived.
They won't receive the truth. They won't listen. But at the
same time, the scripture said, for this cause, God shall send
them strong delusion and cause them to believe a lie and then
damn them for believing the lie. Jesus Christ, it says, was delivered
by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, and he
was turned over to the will of men to be crucified by wicked
hands and slain. And were you there and have asked,
you would have gotten the same answer from Herod and Pilate
and the Gentiles and all the people of Israel. They were doing
exactly what they designed to do. They were doing exactly what
they wanted to do. They were doing exactly what
they believed to be right and what they decided to do. Every
last one of them. But you know when they did it,
they did what God's hand and God's counsel determined before
to be done. Is this not a different picture?
Am I just way off somewhere? Am I missing? This world projects
a Christ and a God who's nothing like the God of the Bible. You
can't find religion's God in this book. He's not here. He's
not here. There are vessels of wrath, Paul
says, which God endures and uses to accomplish His will. Vessels
of wrath fitted for destruction, and there's vessels of mercy
aforeprepared unto glory. Esau served Jacob by God's decree. Is that so? He was a vessel of
wrath, and he served his younger brother by God's decree. And there are vessels of mercy
chosen in Christ to be blessed, predestinated in Christ to the
adoption of children set apart from other men by God's eternal
purpose of grace. From the beginning chosen of
God to salvation, given the means to acquire salvation, given the
power to become sons of God, made meet by the Father himself
to enter into their inheritance with other saints of light, and
kept Peter said, by the power of God through faith unto salvation,
which is yet to be revealed in our Lord. Do not be deceived
by this world's anti-Christ theology. Do not, Paul warns us, be foiled
through their philosophy and vain deceit. Salvation is of
the Lord. It's of the Lord. It's by the
grace of God, and I trust by His grace, and by the Spirit
of God, and by the Word of God, I want to give you this morning
some musts in the scripture. There's six of them that I chose.
There's a lot more than that. But I want to give you six of
these, the most prominent of the musts that I see in the scriptures. And these things must and shall
be done. And they will be done because
none can stay his hand. And this is the first one. I
want you to see this. So turn with me over to Matthew
chapter 26. The Bible says all Scripture
must, M-U-S-T, must be fulfilled. The Word of God is not just a
bunch of wants that God has compiled and desires that He wants to
be done. The Word of God is a declaration
of God of things which must surely come to pass. Now watch this
here in Matthew 26. The high priest and his band
of thugs being led by Judas Iscariot came to capture the man they
despised, Christ Jesus. Jesus of Nazareth. And as they
came, old Peter stepped in front of the Lord with his sword in
hand and he struck at the servant of the high priest. He wasn't
trying to cut off his ear, he was trying to cut off his head.
He missed and got his ear. Now watch this, Matthew 26, 52. Then said Jesus unto him, he
stepped around, healed the man, put his ear back on, everything
was back up snug. And he turned to Peter and he
said unto him, put up again thy sword into its place. For all
that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Now listen to
this. Thinkest thou that I cannot now
pray to my Father? And he shall presently give me
more than twelve legions of angels." I looked that word up. I was
curious. I want to know how much a legion was. Between three and
six thousand. Not counting the cavalry. Three
to six thousand. He said, don't you think? I'm
the son of God. I'm the Son of Man, I'm the Christ,
don't you think? If I get everything, I pray for
it. If I called on my Father right
now, He'd send twelve legions of angels down here and there
wouldn't be a man left breathing. Thinkest thou that I cannot now
pray to my Father, He shall presently give me more than twelve legions
of angels? But Peter, like the rest of fallen
men, cannot see how God can have his way unless he's assisted
by man. That was his problem. That was
his problem. This whole religious world can't
see that. They don't see any other way
out except to help God. Got to help him out. But our
Lord continues. He said, how then shall the Scriptures
be fulfilled, now listen to this, that thus it must be. We're going to tolerate this,
and we're going to let these men come and have their way.
Because the Scriptures said it, and it must be. It must be. In that same hour, said Jesus
to the multitudes, are you come out against the thief with swords
and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching
in the temple, you laid no hand on me. But all this was done
that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Beloved, you can take this truth
and run with it just as far as you can go. Just take it and
run with it as far as you can go. Everything God has declared
in His Word must and shall be fulfilled. You can apply this
to the work of the Holy Spirit. You can apply this to the preaching
of the Gospel. You can apply this to the ordering
of providence or the second coming of Christ and to every situation
that you find yourself in in life. To ignore this book is the act
of a fool. I'm telling you, how shall you
escape, Paul said, who have neglected so great a salvation, which began
to be published by our Lord and then affirmed by those who followed
him, his disciples, those he, and he confirmed them both with
miracles and wonders and signs and gifts of the Holy Ghost.
How are you going to escape if you neglect this book? All that's written in the Scriptures
shall come to pass. Secondly, accordingly, this book
tells us that as the serpent was raised up in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of Man be lifted up that whosoever believeth
on Him should not perish but have Eternal life. That's John
3, verses 14 and 15. There is, according to these
verses, this is what I want you to see here, a correspondence
between the bitten and dying Israelites and the fallen sons
of Adam who have the venom of the old serpent in their souls. There's a correspondence here. By one man, the scripture said,
sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed
upon all men for that all have sinned. Even so, there's a likeness
of the crucified Christ to the serpent on the pole. The fiery
serpent sent down upon Israel was a sign of God's active judgment
and wrath concerning their sins. That which God ordered to be
put on the pole was an image like unto the curse, but now
listen to me, it didn't have any poison in it. It didn't have
any venom in it. Even so, Christ was made a curse
for us, for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a
tree. He made him, Paul said, to be sin for us, but watch this,
who knew no sin. There was no venom. no veto,
that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. So what's all
this saying, preachers? Well, I'm telling you this. Looking
unto Jesus is not going to save anybody. But looking unto Jesus,
the author and finisher of our faith will. Looking unto Jesus,
the martyr, Jesus the reformer, Jesus the healer won't save anybody. They must see Him, according
to this verse of Scripture, lifted up. Isn't that what that says? As the serpent was lifted up, He was the remedy. You look to
Him. He was the type of Christ being
made a curse for us. And as He was lifted up, and
the people looked to Him, even so must the Son of God be lifted
up. That must be. Nobody's going
to be saved until they see Him lifted up. There are three things. I believe
prison in the Israelites who looked, and I believe these three
things are prison in all those today who looked to Christ. There was a consciousness of
a burning death within. Now you think about it. They
were falling like flies. Dying. Dying all around them.
Dying. They knew that death was in them.
They knew that venom was in them. They began to feel their strength
being drawn out from them. They began to see themselves
staggering about like a drunk man. There was evidence in them
of this burning death. The serpent's venom is even now. affecting you and I and all that
we do and say. Does Paul not tell us that the
poison of ash is under our lips? That destruction and misery are
in our ways, that there's no fear of God before our eyes?
My friend, to be convinced of sin by the Holy Ghost is to be
made conscious of a burning death within. We're dying. We come
to see that. You come to grips with that.
It's not something in a doctrine that you say, oh, well, I see
the Bible teaches this and that's the doctrine, that's the way
it is, so I'll argue this point now with people who don't believe.
That's not what it is. You become convinced by the Holy
Spirit that you've been bitten and you're dying. And you're
a goner. There's nothing you can do about
it. But then God says to Moses, his servant, you make an image
of this curse and you put it on a pole and you lift it up.
And I don't care how far back they are and these millions of
people, if they look on that pole, they're going to live. There's a consciousness of a
burning death within. And then the second thing present
in those who look to the serpent on the pole and those who look
to Christ lifted up, is a confidence that in looking as you're commanded
to look, you shall not perish, but have everlasting life. I don't see how a man can be
saved and not have his emotions stirred. I've had my emotions
stirred. I don't see how a man can be
saved and not feel guilt and sin and suffer all these things. But here's my point to you. It didn't matter how much you
felt. There were some people there who'd just been bitten
who didn't feel a whole lot of anything. And there were some
there taking their last breath when that pole went up. It's
all different stages of this thing. They all looked. And let me tell you something.
They all had the same confidence. And their confidence wasn't in
their feelings, their confidence was in the word of God that said
if you look, you'll be saved. Huh? I've been at this a long
time. My confidence right now is that
God told me to look and I looked. Huh? I don't have anything else.
I don't have a thing else besides that. It's a confidence in that looking
as you're commanded to look, you shall not perish, but have
eternal life. And then the third thing, there's a conviction both in
the lookers at the serpent on the pole, and in the hearts and
minds of them that look to Christ lifted up, there is a conviction
that there's no hope anywhere else. I'm telling you, they had doctors,
they had physicians, they had their men, and they were running
around there trying to treat people, and they were dying.
No matter what they did, they were dying. And they were just
falling over. They were dying like flies everywhere. I forget how many thousands of
Israelites died from the fiery serpent. Death was everywhere.
It was evident, and they could feel it within. They knew they
were dying. There was nowhere else to look. And I'm telling you this morning,
you come here and you're hearing me preach this morning, I'm telling
you there's nowhere else to look except Christ crucified. There's
nowhere else to look. All right, here's the third thing.
No sinner shall ever see, understand, or enter into the kingdom of
God until he's born again. Our Lord said, marvel not. He said, that which is flesh
is flesh, and that which is spirit is spirit. He said, marvel not
that I said unto you, you ought to be born again. That ain't
what He said, is it? You must be born again. You must be born
again. That's in John 3, verse 6 and
7. Natural man's equipped by nature
to understand, live in, and work in a natural environment. He's
equipped for it. He's equipped for it. He might
even excel in science, literature, medicine, agriculture. He can split an atom. He can
probe the bottom of the sea. He can walk on the moon. He's
equipped and competent to live in a natural environment. But
he's not equipped to live in a spiritual environment. He's
not equipped. The natural man, it said, receiveth
not the things of the Spirit of God. How many natural? He's
talking about all natural men. He didn't say natural men. He
said the natural man. Receive it not the things of
the Spirit of God, and He tells you why. There's foolishness
unto it. Neither can He know them. Why? They're spiritually
discerned. You must be born of the Spirit,
because that which is flesh is flesh, and that which is spirit
is spirit. Our Lord said to His disciples,
they all left Him. Hundreds of them left, walked
away. Thought He was teaching cannibalism. Talking about eating
that bread. He said, except you eat my flesh
and drink my blood, you have no life in you. And they said,
he's nuts. He's preaching cannibalism. And they went off to the deep
end with his words. He turned to his disciples and he said,
doors open. You going to go too? There it
is. You want to go? Go. They said,
to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal
life. He said, my words are spirit. And now what he said? They're
spiritually discerned. You must be born again. We have to be made meek. We have
to be given the ability to believe. There's no sense in bunting and
holding a man back in the corner. And I've done it. I've been there. I've tried it. I sit down with
a man I knew and it was our conversation. that really motivated me to begin
to think on these things seriously. And oh, I wanted him to believe
so bad I just couldn't understand it. And I sat down and I talked
to him for hours on end at their home, him and his wife and his
children. And I'd sit and talk to them.
And I just, oh, I wanted them to believe so bad. They never
did. They never did. You know why? You must be born. It's a gift. And it comes from
a sovereign God who does what He pleases. And it's exactly
according to the Scriptures. Alright, here's the fourth thing.
I'll try to be brief. John chapter 3, verse 30. Talking
about John the Baptist. And here's what it says. He's talking about Christ. and the forerunner of Christ.
John chapter 3, verse 30. John the Baptist, he said, he
must increase, but I must decrease. He didn't use that word ought,
he used that word must. Now let me tell you something. This is the universal testimony
of every saint of God. every sign of God. It's the story
of his life, his spiritual life, and it's the legacy he leaves
with those who knew him best. I must decrease. He must increase. Huh? And I tell you, over the
years, I don't look to myself the way I used to. You know why? Because I've decreased in my
mind, and he's increased. He must increase. How? How can
He that's perfect increase? Well, He doesn't increase in
His person. He doesn't increase in His glory.
He cannot in His person or His glory, but He can in my mind
and heart. He can increase, and I can decrease. When I think back on some of
my earliest thoughts of Christ, how little by comparison was
He then than He is now. I saw Him back then as Savior.
I knew He was Lord by the dictates of the Scripture. But I've come
now to understand that He's the reason for creation. He is the
Creator. He's the head of all things.
He's before all things, and by Him all things consist. And this
magnificent One is the head of the body of the church. The firstborn
from the dead. Now watch this. That in all things
He might have the preeminence. Why? For it pleased the Father
that in Him should all fullness dwell. And let me tell you something,
that's where it's going to dwell. It's going to dwell that way
in your mind and heart because that's the way it is. It pleased the Father that in
Him. If salvation could be defined,
it might be said that it's Christ in you becoming all and in all. That's what he does. He must
increase, but I must decrease. In John's vision of heaven, everything's
done, everything's settled. Now he's in heaven. And now he
sees the saints gathered around the throne of God. And they see
the Lamb in the midst of the throne. And all this white-robed
throng around him. And you know what they done?
They were kings. They all had crowns. They took
the crowns off. and threw Him down at the feet
of the Lamb. You know why? Because He must increase and
I must decrease. That's why. Listen to this. And I know this
is so. Christ is not going to share
His glory with a rival. He's not going to do it. And
He told His disciples, He that loveth father and mother more
than me is not worthy of me. And he that loveth son or daughter
more than me is not worthy of me. And he that findeth his life
is going to lose it. And he that loseth his life for
my sake is going to find it. He must increase. I must decrease. Alright, 50. 1 Corinthians chapter
15, verse 51. A change must take place. A permanent, eternal, Change. 1 Corinthians 15, verse 51. Behold, he said, I show you a
mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling
of an eye, at the last trump, for the trumpet shall sound,
and the dead shall be raised high. Incorruptible. And we shall be changed. Now watch this. Verse 53, For this corruptible,
this dying, rotting flesh, this sinful flesh, must put on incorruption. And this mortal must put on immortality. You know, men talk about living
in heaven and they've always got something to say about somebody
who just died and all of these things, and they talk about heaven,
and doing this and that, and I wonder if you can fish in heaven,
and I wonder if you can do all of these things. And they start
talking about heaven like heaven was earth. They talk about living
in heaven, and doing this and that, and continuing on in these
relationships. Will the circle be unbroken?
That whole song is about earthly relationships rejoined in heaven. The doctors of the law tried
to trick Christ that way and told Him about this woman who
was married to all these husbands, and they died, and then his brother
married her and raised her up seed, and then he died. Now whose
wife is she going to be in heaven? You know what the Lord said?
You don't know anything about heaven. People who talk that way don't
know anything about heaven. He said, you're going to be like
the angels. They're not going to be marrying and giving in
marriage in heaven. Flesh and blood cannot inherit
the kingdom of God. All these things should be dissolved.
No marriage, no male, no female, no earthly unions or reunions. You might see your children.
I'm not going to say you don't see your children and you might
see your husband in glory, but he won't be your son and he won't
be your husband. He'll be your brother in Christ. We shall all be like Christ because
we're going to see him as he is. And this nature of sin will
be gone forever. All of its vain desires and sinful
passions and doubts gone forever. And we have in ourselves right
now by the Spirit of God the earnest of this by faith. We have the earnest of it. No
more pain and suffering. No more doubts and fears. No
more sorrow and tears. A permanent, eternal, holy change
must come to pass. The man who truly believes that
will embrace death. He'll throw out his arms and
welcome death if he knows this. And if you don't know it, you
better learn it. He will embrace death. And then
sixthly, and I'll wind this thing up. Jesus Christ must be received
and seated at God's right hand, ordering all things, arranging
all things, governing over all things, until the day of the
restitution of all things. Acts chapter 3 verse 19. I'm
going to read you three verses here. Peter's talking. Repent ye therefore, and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing
shall come from the presence of the Lord. And he shall send
Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you. Now listen
to this. Whom the heaven must receive
until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath
spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets, since the world
began. Paul says in 1 Corinthians chapter
15, in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Every man in his own order, Christ the firstfruits, afterwards they
their Christ that is coming. Then come at the end. What does
that mean? When he shall have delivered
up the kingdom to God. They must be delivered up. And
they will be. Even the Father, when He shall
have, not might have, when He shall have put down all rule,
all authority, and all power. For He must reign until He hath
put all enemies under His feet. And the last enemy that shall
be destroyed is death. What are you going to do with
death? Revelation 20 verse 14 said, And death and hell were
cast into the lake of fire. Gone forever. Gone forever. Every wrong set right. All that
was ruined restored. Every sin accounted for. Every
word fulfilled. Every promise kept. Every son
that was given to Him redeemed. Every judgment carried out and
everything God has willed to be done accomplished, the restitution
of all things. Heaven must receive him. He must reign. He must sit at
the right hand of God until that day of restitution of all things. And then in a split second, he'll
gather together his elect with him and they'll be with him forever.
Until then, we know where he sits, and we know him who sits
there, and we know why. We know why. This is the, this
Bible is a Bible of musts, not mights. And how you can find
any hope in a might is beyond me. There is no, where's the
hope in that? I might be lost, I might be saved.
They told me I'd come up front just like they told me to do.
I came up front. It was an old mourner's bench.
They told me to get down to that mourner's bench and pray and
ask God to forgive me, and I did. And all the what I thought were
saints gathered around me and prayed. They called that praying
through until I found some peace in my heart and stuff. And I
believed what the man said and did what he told me to do and
all those things. And then the very next Sunday, his message,
he told me, be careful, you can be lost. Oh, my soul, I was just
saved. What do you mean? You told me
I was saved. I had eternal life. Heaven was my home. Now you're
telling me I might go to hell after all. That's the Bible of
mites. Bible's not a book of mites.
It's a book of shalls and musts. Musts. And he must reign until
he put all enemies under his feet. And the last thing going
under his feet is death. All going to be dissolved. God
give us all an understanding of what I preached here this
morning. Thank you.
