Well, you found it, Judy. Thank
you. Turn with me to Job, chapter
23. Job, chapter 23. Job answered and said, even today
is my complaint bitter. My stroke is heavier than my
groaning. Oh, that I knew where I might find him. Oh, that I knew where I might
find him that I might come even to his tomb. Turn over to the Song of Solomon
if you will. Song of Solomon chapter 3. Job said, oh, but I knew, for
I might find him. Now we see a picture of the bride,
the Church of Christ, the Lamb's wife. She cries, by night on
my bed I sought him, through my soul of it. I sought him, but I found him
not. I'll rise and go about the city
and the streets and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my
soul loveth. I saw him, but I found him not. The watchman that go about the
city found me whom I said, saw ye him whom my soul loveth? And it was but a little while
that I passed from them. but I found him through my soul
brother. Can you imagine the joy? I found
him, I found him. Turn over to chapter five, verse six. Again, God elect God's choice
people, God's church, the bride of Christ. She says, I opened
to my beloved, but my beloved had withdrawn
himself and was gone. My soul failed when he stayed.
I sought him. but I could not find him. I called
him, but he gave me no answer. The watchmen that went about
the city found me. They smoked me. They wounded
me. The keepers of the walls took
away my veil from me. I charge you, O daughters of
Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, tell him I am sick of love. I feel much like Job, much like
the pictures we have seen of God's people. My heart cries, oh, that I might
know that I knew where I might find
him, that I may approach unto his seat. In the past 19 years, I've been
in a lot of what we call worship services. Unless I was sick, I have missed
a service. Sunday morning, Sunday night,
midweek service, I have missed one in 19 years. I've preached
a lot, a lot of sermons. And I've heard a lot of sermons. But I'm tired, I'm tired of going
to church and hearing sermons and having religious meetings
that are of no profit and no value to my soul or yours. I
want with all of my heart, I want with all of my heart, having
come into this place tonight, I want to meet God here. I want to meet God. Now that's
serious business. That's serious business. But
I want to meet God, my Savior, more than anything else in this
world. when I come to this place tonight. I've been seeking that
this evening. How about you? Did we come here
just to hear another sermon, just to sing some more song,
just to greet folks, just to fulfill our religious duty and
our religious responsibility, or did you come with a heart
cry? I knew where I might find him. Did you come with a desire in
your heart to meet the living God? To hear from him? To walk for a little while in
his presence? To commune with him? To worship
him? Well, I can tell you this one
thing. There is a place There is a place
where God does meet with men and women. Turn over to the book
of Matthew, if you will. Matthew chapter 18. There is a place where God does
meet with men and women. A place where the living God,
Jesus Christ our Savior, condescends to meet with men and reveal his
power, his grace, and his mercy. Our Lord says here in Matthew
the 18th chapter in verse 20, Where two or three, we've got
a few more than that here tonight. I wonder, out of this assembly,
if there are two, maybe three. Two, maybe three. Maybe three. Where two or three are gathered
together in my name, there am I. in the midst of it. What a problem. What a problem. Wherever, wherever, anywhere
on God's earth, two or three meet together in the name of
Christ. Jesus, I'm right there. I'm right
there. If they gather in my name, I'll
be in the midst of it. As I read that promise, my heart
cries out, O Lord, may it be true that this night at least
two or three in this place are gathered in thy name, so that we may gather in the
presence of the living God. over in Genesis 28 had a vision,
a vision of the ladder reaching up into heaven, reaching from
heaven down to the earth, the angels of God descending and
ascending upon that ladder. After Jacob saw that vision and
had the revelation of God's purpose of grace toward him, and had
the revelation of God's assurance, I will never leave thee nor forsake
thee, he awoke out of that place and he built an orphanage and
called the name of that place Bethel. The word means house
of God. House of God. He says, this is
the place where God met with me. It was just a little clearing
out of the wilderness. It was just an open place in
the field. But God met him there. God met him there. He said, this
is the house of God. This is the house of God. He
awoke out of his dream and he said, surely the Lord is in this
place. And I knew it not. How dreadful is this place! This
is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of
heaven. I want to tell you something.
I don't believe I'm being presumptuous to say it. This is the house of God. This
is the gate of heaven, Merle. The gate of heaven. Wherever
almighty God condescends to meet a man and speak to a man and
commune with a man, that place is the house of the living God.
That's the best thing this side of heaven is all about. That's
the best thing this side of heaven is. It's the gate of heaven itself. Our Lord said, wherever two or
three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Like Jacob, I tremble at the thought of God's presence, and
yet there is nothing I more greatly desire for us. It's the burden
of my heart. I pray, I pray as I prepare to
preach, as I prepare to come to this place, I pray that we
might truly gather in the name of Christ and that we might enjoy
the presence of God. I really do. I came to this place
tonight expecting to meet God. Expecting to meet God. I came
with the anticipation and the hope that God might condescend
one more time this side of the grave to meet with me and you
and me. That we might meet with God.
You may not remember it. Sermons have a way of kind of
slipping our minds. Six years ago, when we met in
this building for the first time after it was complete, I preached
a message out of Exodus chapter 33, verse 15. It's taken from Moses' prayer. Do
you remember the message? Maybe you remember the prayer.
Moses said, when God was about to carry them up into the land
of Canaan, when God was about to give them the promise, he
said, if thy presence go not with me, carry us not up. Lord, we want the promise, we
want the blessing, we want the land, we want the freedom, we
want everything that's promised our fathers, but this one thing
we want more than anything else, thy presence, thy presence. Give us your presence. Give us
your presence. That's the one thing we must
have. What happens when God meets with his people? I'll tell you
this, his presence brings life. His presence brings life. You
read through the Gospels and as you read the accounts of the
history of our Lord's life upon this earth, every time he came
in contact with death, The dead lived. Every day. Every time
the living God in human flesh came in contact with the dead,
the dead lived. He met a widow who was carrying
her son out to the cemetery. He stopped and touched the beer.
He said, young man, get up and walk away. And he got up and
walked away. He came to Lazarus' tomb, and
as he came to the tomb, he said, Lazarus, come forth! And Lazarus
came out of that tomb by the power of his word. Whenever his
presence comes, he brings death out of life. He causes the dead
to live again. His presence brings with it forgiveness,
mercy, and grace to the guilty. I see the Son of God in the house
of Simon the leper. He's sitting there, not the house
of Simon the leper, Simon the Pharisee. He's sitting there,
and there's a woman who comes in. She's a harlot. street woman. No respectable
person in town would speak to her. Nobody be seen in her company
in daylight. Nobody wanted to be associated
with her. She was a common partner. But she had been forgiven for
all of it. And God was pleased to have her
at his feet. He brought with His forgiveness.
He said to that woman, thy sins which are many are all forgiven
thee. He does that with Jesus Christ.
Oh, if God meets with you here tonight, if God Almighty meets
with you in this place tonight, if Jesus Christ is pleased to
meet with you, you'll go out those doors with no fear, with
no sin, with no fear of God's law, with no fear of God's wrath. Forgiven. Forgiven. Whenever
Christ comes, his presence gives comfort to troubled hearts. Sometimes I especially prepare
sermons that are designed to comfort God's people. I know
you come here, many of you, with troubled hearts frequently. You
come with difficulties in the family. You come with Difficulties
with your neighbors, difficulties on the job, with financial problems,
and social problems, and problems of raising children, and problems
of living in this world, and your hearts are heavy. And I
cry from time to time to preach this sermon of comfort to you.
I want to comfort you. But I know this, no matter what
I'm preaching on this, if Christ comes, you'll go away comforted.
You'll go away comforted. He comes to give peace. He says,
my peace. give I unto you, not as the world
give, not as God Fortner can give, but my peace I give unto
you. Let not your hearts be tempted.
You believe God, believe also me, and our Lord is comfortable
wherever he cometh. His presence brings his goodness. The Lord said to Jacob in Genesis
28, Behold, I am with thee. And I will keep thee in all places
whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land,
for I will not leave thee until I have done that which I have
spoken to thee of. Did you hear it? He said, I will
not leave. He said, I will never leave you
nor forsake you. I'll never, no never, no never,
under any circumstances, by any possibility, will I leave you
or forsake you. That's our security. He said,
he said, I'm not leaving you. I'm not forsaking you. He will not do it. Where two
or three are gathered together in my name, Our Savior says,
there am I in the midst of it. For the Lord himself is
with you. Right now at this hour, there
are literally hundreds of thousands of people all over the world
meeting in what we call houses of worship. watching and listening
to a man standing behind the pulpit with a Bible laying on
it in my palm. And they do so week after week
after week, year after year after year, great regularity. I wonder, is there not some place
where the living Christ meets with living men? Where the living
Christ meets with dead sinners and cultists? it's not some place
where Christ meets with me and I can be saved. Maybe, just maybe, He'll meet
with us in this place. Maybe. We'll talk. In all the glorious places In all the fullness of his power.
In all the fullness of his power. In all the, in all the majesty
of his power. It may be that God, I say, will
meet you there. If it so, if it so, you want
me to tell you that. I know this. The place, the place that it
makes me visit, has nothing to do with the presence of God.
It's nice to have comfortable buildings. It's nice to have
attractive buildings that are appealing to the eye. We certainly
also keep up the physical property that we have here in a respectable
manner, make it as appealing as we can. But when God met with
Jacob, he was laying under the stars. And I've been in places. I've met with men and women in
pouring down shacks, and God's met with us. I've met with folks
in private homes, and God's met with us. I've met with God with
some folks gathered together in community buildings or in
storefronts, and God's met with us. The place doesn't have a
thing to do with it. He says, where two or three are gathered
in my, wherever it is, wherever it is. may be, God's blessings
are not given to us and put into a corner by any country, by any
city, by any temple, by any building, any denomination, any religious
surroundings, nothing like that guarantees the presence of God. We have been so long, so long accustomed to playing
like God was around, then we've got the notion that if we play
the organ just right, maybe if we get us a pipe organ, and we
have somebody who can play that thing just so beautifully, and
we get the stained glass windows, and we sing at the right time,
and we stand at the right time, and we sit at the right time,
and we have all of these things down just exactly like they ought
to, if we get the right surroundings, maybe God will meet with us.
Nothing at that time yet guarantees that God's going to meet. This
does, if there's two, maybe three who want it, who want it, who
gather in his name, he'll be there. The number has nothing
to do with the Lord coming among his people. If there's two or
three, It's not even necessary that all of those who are gathered
together be gathered to that person. He says that wherever
men come together, if in the number, they truly do. I'm quite certain in this
assembly tonight, not all of you came here looking for Christ. I wish you would know what you
did. Not all of you came here to hear from him, to meet him,
to speak to him, but to communicate. But I've got a hunch, he may
do it. He may do it, may do it, may do it. He came for that. If there are people, he does
that. On one occasion, Our Lord was
preaching, 5,000 were here and walked away and missed the blessing. But there were 12 who stayed
around and they said, Lord, to whom shall we go? And they found
Him. They had Him. Sometimes we think
that we need more physical activity. We need to be doing something.
We can secure God's presence if we were just a little more
active and we would just get busy doing something. This religious
age has got activity mania. Folks go to church because the
church has activity. They've got this, they do, and
that, they do. They build gymnasiums so the folks will play basketball
and call it religious fellowship, call it family life. They have
their parties and they get together and just have a big ball and
they call it fellowship in the name of Christ. Have something
going on every night. Men's night, women's night, children's
night, teens' night, mother's night, father's night. All the
time. Some activities. They say, look here, God's here.
Look at all this happening. Not necessarily. Not necessarily. Some folks seem to think that
by their words and by their prayers By their religious orthodoxy,
by their creed, they will certainly have God's presence. But it's
not so. Some think that if they have
the proper church order, the proper church discipline, the
proper observance of the ordinances, if they get everything lined
up just right, and get everything set down in its proper place,
then certainly God will be there. Not so. Not so. How then will they hold on to
the promise? It's just that he is. Wherever
he was recently comes together in the name of Christ. He is. He is. What does that mean? I searched for a long time and
I haven't given up the search. Find out what it is. together
in the name of Christ. There was a time, I thought,
that because I was a Baptist, and because I had what I thought
to be historical precedent as a Baptist, and because I came
from a church that came from a church that came from a church
that came from a church that was a Baptist church, And because
we had the proper mode of baptism, and the proper observance of
the Lord's table, and we had the proper creed, I thought surely
that Christ was with us. That's nothing. That's nothing.
That doesn't guarantee anything. That doesn't secure anything.
Those things, while they have their place, those things have
no significance insofar as gathering in the presence of the Lord Jesus
Christ. What does it mean to gather in his name? Some folks
think that they get together and they'll pray damn God. Now it's good to pray. It's good to pray. But these
overzealous fellows get together and they start crying out like
those prophets of Thao and rending themselves with compulsions of
the body and they think that by their huddling in the body
they can somehow get God to do something. That's not it. Now it's good
to pray, but what's the distinction? It's good to seek God's help,
but we can't force God's hand. We can't get God to tell us what
to do. But our Lord says here, for two
or three are gathered in my name, I'm right there. I'm right there. But what does it mean then to
gather in his name? I believe there are four answers
found in the word of God. To gather in His name, to gather
in His name, number one, is to come into this place, preaching
His glory. Preaching His glory. And my friends, this is the human
end of all things, the glory of God. And I'm confident, I'm
persuaded, I don't have any question at all about it, all through
worship, All true spiritual exercise begins right here, right here. It must be done for His glory. Buddy Dardy, if I ever pray,
I'll pray for His glory. If I ever preach, if I ever really
get around to preaching, I'll preach for His glory. And if
I ever worship God, I'll worship for His glory. That's all there
is to it. Let me show you some scriptures.
Turn back to Jeremiah 9. The book of Jeremiah chapter
nine, verse 23. The Lord God says, thus saith
the Lord, let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither
let the mighty man glory in his might. Let not the rich man glory
in his riches, but let him that glorious glory in this. that
I understand this, and know it moves, that I am the Lord, which
exercise loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
For in these things I delight, saith the Lord." Apostle Paul
takes off on that very same passage over in 1 Corinthians 1, and
he says that, "...of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God
have made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification,
and redemption." That according as it is written, he is at glory.
let him glory in the Lord. He tells us that no flesh should
glory in his presence, but that he should be glorified. The very
reason why God made his son to be the substitute for sinners
is that men should glory in him, that he should be glorified.
You read the book of Ephesians, chapter 1, and you'll find the
apostle Paul telling in the covenant of grace, God's
purpose in sending his son, God's purpose in redeeming sinners,
God's purpose in saving sinners by his grace, God's purpose in
bringing sinners into eternal glory with him in heaven, is
simply that we should be to the praise of the glory of his grace. Everything is to his grace. Everything. His glory as it is the object
of his own heart. It must be the goal, the ambition,
and the deep concern of our hearts in all things. I endeavor to preach, and I preach with a lot of motive,
with a lot of purpose. I want to instruct you in the
gospel. I want you who are perishing to know Christ. Oh, I want you
to I want you to be able. I want to see the church of God
built up in your faith. I want you to be comforted by
the word. I want you to have strong faith. I want you to have
courage and class and boldness. I want your heart to be set on
fire for the glory of God. But above all other things, above
all other things, this determines what I believe. This Lord. This Lord. I've been preaching now for 18
years. And up to this point, up to this
point, by the grace of God, I've never had one time to tell men
what I had on my heart. Not one time. I've never had
one time, no matter whose audience it was, to declare to men the
gospel of God's free and sovereign grace. Not one time. Why? Because
my purpose, my motive, my desire is not that they approve, not
that they be saved, not even primarily that they be saved,
but primarily that God be glorified in them. That's number one. In all of our prayer, and in
all of our praise, in everything we do here as a congregation,
as an assembly, in our congregational singing, in the special music
that's brought, we have the music not to entertain, We have the
music not simply so the service will go well. We have the music
so that we might be led by the singer, might be led in our own
songs together for the glory of God! Look upon Him as glorious! And yes, we must have monetary means for the ministry
of the gospel. So, my friends, if our giving is motivated primarily because
there's a need and we feel sorry for the person or the ministry
and we want to help out, then that's the primary purpose of
giving, our giving, that is not the Hildebrands. Not the Hildebrands. I wish somehow we could be motivated
by something other than a sad picture. I watch these fellows
on television. They know how to motivate folks.
They show you those poor, skinny, starving babies with their bellies
all pooched out with malnutrition. That's a sad picture. If I thought those religious
con men would give the $5 or the $500, I'd send it to them. Now what is a sad picture? It's
a sad picture. But they know they couldn't get
folks to give unless they got them feeling sorry for that time.
And the religious hucksters of our day know they can't get folks
to give unless they get folks to feel sorry for God. Heard
Mr. Swaggart with us last night.
He's begging for money. God sent me out to preach this
message to the whole world and we're doing it now but we can't
do it without you. Give him a little kiss because
he's been so good to you. Unless we give strictly for his
glory there's nothing to it. Nothing to it. Huh. If you and I were real honest, I reckon you'd have to say there's
nothing to what we do. And nothing to what we do. For
there's too much yourself in it. Aren't you glad? Aren't you thankful? That God
doesn't deal with you based on what you are and what you do,
but rather based on what we're saying here and what we're saying
there. Secondly, to gather in his name
is to come together. Turn over in Hebrews 4, Hebrews
chapter 4. To gather in his name is to come
together seeking his glory, and to gather in his name is to come
together Look here in Hebrews 4 verse 14. Seeing then we have
a great high priest that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son
of God, let us hold fast our protection. For we have not an
high priest that cannot be touched at the feeling of our infirmities,
but was in all points tempted like as we are yet without sin.
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne, to the throne
of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help
in the time of need. Moses said, show me thy glory,
and God said, I'll be merciful. That's what he did. He delighted
in mercy. He says, I'll have mercy and
not sacrifice. As you read through the four
Gospels again, all came into the presence of Christ while
he was upon this earth. All who came in the presence
of Christ and were accepted by Him, all of them, came on this
basis. They were beggars seeking mercy.
All of them. They came not seeking justice.
They came before Him not seeking recognition. They came before
Him not seeking wages. They came not seeking reward.
They came seeking mercy! Pure, free, rich, abundant, sovereign
mercy! They came to Christ Jesus, thou
son of Jesus, They said, they said, Lord, if
you will, you can make me whole. They cried like that. God, be
merciful. Be merciful to me. To me, this sinner. God, be merciful
to me. That's the way you do business
with God. That's the way you do business
with God. I hear people, Christians
and others, talking about coming to God and doing business with
God on the basis of what they've done, on the basis of their faithfulness,
on the basis of their sacrifice, on the basis of what they've
given to Christ or what they've done for Christ or what they've
done for somebody else. My friends, you'll never do business
with God until you come before the living God as a healthy,
bankrupt, penniless, good-for-nothing, useless sinner. One for whom
God has no use at all. One for whom God Almighty has
absolutely no use. One that's absolutely totally
useless. But when you come to God like
that and you try out mercy I guarantee you're going to be blessed. And
you're going to be pleased with that. And that's the only way
to do it. Mercy. That's the one thing you
desire to do. There's no communion with Christ
on the ground of marriage. God meets with sinners only on
the ground of mercy. David said, according to the multitude, according
to the multitude of thy sons and daughters. That's what it
says. This is what we want from God.
Oh, but he may give us mercy. So I came, what? Seeking mercy? Well, you didn't come seeking
mercy. You see, God's children, they
come seeking mercy always. I've come here tonight. I've
come here tonight to seek mercy. I'm going to say this more really
and clearly than I've ever thought it in my life. That's right. You see, I know how much more
I need mercy now than I did in the first kingdom. When I first
came to Him, I thought I knew something about being a helpless
bankrupt sinner, crying out for mercy, and I knew a little something.
But today, I know more fully that I am a helpless bankrupt
sinner, altogether undone without mercy. And I cry, God, give me
mercy. God, be merciful to me. God,
deal with me in mercy. God, speak to me in mercy! God,
speak with me in mercy! God has mercy on me. Like that woman who came to the
Lord and she said, Lord, have mercy on me. Well, my daughter
grievously begs for his help. I've got to tell you, Lord have mercy on me. Lord have mercy on me. Lord have mercy on me. Lord have mercy on me. Lord have
mercy on me. Lord have mercy on me. Lord have
mercy on me. Lord have mercy on me. Lord have mercy on me. Lord have mercy on me. Lord have
mercy on me. Lord have mercy on me. Covenant
mercy, redeeming mercy, pardoning mercy, daily mercy, preserving
mercy, and you know the mercy, that mercy that He has, is given
by the God who says, I am the Lord! I say, that's kind of mercy
I got. Unchanging mercy. Thirdly, to gather in His name, is to come together, teaching,
healing, Turn over to Jeremiah chapter
23. Jeremiah 23. Now, I know that there is a righteousness
to be followed before God and followed before men in this world. I want for me and you, Wes, I
want us to live in righteousness on this earth. Live before those
men you work with in righteousness. Live before your neighbors and
your family in righteousness. Now, there is that righteousness
we pursue and we follow. But in God's sight, before God
Almighty, there is none righteous. Man at his best estate is altogether
vanity and our very best righteousness. I think that is just too bad,
isn't that? Isn't that just too bad? What
we must have is good righteousness. except a man be born again who
can't enter the kingdom of heaven. Except you repent, our Lord said,
he shall all life-wise perish. Except your righteousness shall
exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall
in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Now I'm going to tell
you, I know most of you pretty good, maybe pretty good. There's
not a man or woman sitting in this auditorium who comes close
to being as righteous as the tribes and pastors. Not one of
them. The priest or any priest. Not
one of them. Those fellas that came to the
hearing, they knew that. I mean, their neighbors looked
at them and they said, no, I can't find any fault with him. He's
hard, he's mean, but I can't find any fault with him. He's
a good man. He lives according to the law.
They were righteous. They were righteous in their
deeds. They were righteous in their religion. They were righteous
in their conduct. They were unrighteous in their
heart, but they were righteous in their heart. Our Lord said,
let's do better than that. You can't enter hell. You can't
enter hell. But where on earth then is a
man going to have righteousness? Look here in Jeremiah 23 verse
5. Behold, the day has come, saith the Lord. Thou will raise
unto David a right friend, and a king shall reign and prosper
and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his
name Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell faithfully,
and this is the name whereby he shall be called the Lord our
God. That's it. That's it. We come in this place I hope you have. Peace, healing,
righteousness, peace. All said, I count all things
that lost, count all things that's gone, that I may be in Christ,
and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which
is of the Lord, but the righteousness with God by faith in Christ Jesus. I do not want, I beg, I pray,
I do not want God ever to deal with me. I don't want him ever
to deal with me on the basis of what I am or what I believe. I pray that God will never deal
with me on the basis of what I think, on the basis of my feelings,
on the basis of my ways. I hope, I pray, I trust that
God Almighty deals with me on the basis of his Son, Jesus. That's my only hope of hope.
And fourthly, to gather in his name,
to come back to the message of Christ. It means that we come
together, speaking his glory, You remember when our Lord met
Peter and he asked him those three times, Simon, do you love
me? Every time he turned around and
he said, okay, now if you love me, feed my people. Remember,
feed my people. I take two things from that. Number one, Christ's people are
near to his heart. They're near to his heart. Number
two, love for Christ inevitably involves love for his people. If I love him, he is the shepherd. I love his people. As we come
together in this manner, preaching the gospel of his grace,
Send me out to Mexico. Send me out to Mexico. We'll
come together. Don't ever forget. Don't ever
regret this. Lord, I love you. I miss you. I miss you. I miss you. My heart's so hungry and thirsty
for that. And I can't expect it to. Lord, save your sheep. Save your
sheep. Oh, I want that, don't you? But when you come, come take
me. Come take me. I'll give you one more thing when
you go. old John Kraft took it by the
tail of an Indian to give it to her. She said, just promise
