The Missing Note In Present-Day Preaching

Now, faith is the product of
preaching. Scripture declares that faith
cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. And whatever
faith that men have, whatever beliefs to which they hold, is
a result of the preaching which they have heard. Faith cometh
by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. A knowledge of God,
whatever attitude I have toward God Almighty, whatever attitude
I have toward His Word, toward His Church, whatever beliefs
I have about His purpose, His dealings with men through Christ,
depend upon the preaching that I've heard. Our knowledge of
God is the product of preaching. Our religion is the product of
preaching. Our attitude toward ourselves,
what we believe about sin, about the fall, about our sins of omission,
commission, of heart, of mind, of deed, of word. Our attitude
toward our fellow man is formed by the preaching that we've heard.
Preaching is important. God had chosen by the foolishness
of preaching to save them that believe. Whatever faith I have,
or you have, or whatever faith or belief that men have, is a
result of the preaching they've heard. It's amazing how important
is this thing called preaching. Our religion, our knowledge of
God, depends upon the preaching that we have heard. Now something's
missing. I'm not being mean, but I know
something's missing, and everybody knows something's missing. You
know something's missing. We have large buildings today.
We have churches everywhere. We have churches with tall steeples
pointing to the sky. We have large auditoriums, but
most of them stand empty except on special occasions or special
days or special seasons. We have millions of Bibles. Bibles
are everywhere. The Bible's been translated into
over a thousand different languages, and everybody's got a Bible.
Some people have several of them, but most of them are unread. We have moral reformation, but
most of it is just washing the dead bodies. There's no life
inside. You know it, and I know it, and
everybody knows it. We have a superstitious regard
for outward religion. People come into a church building,
men take off their hats. Why? They have superstitious
regard for outward religion, for an outward building. A person
wouldn't think of having a funeral without a preacher. You wouldn't
think of marrying without a preacher. People bring their babies to
be dedicated. There are people all over this
world who go to church four times in their life. They go when they're
an infant to be sprinkled. They go when they're twelve years
old to be confirmed or catechized. They go when they're married,
and then they roll them in when they die. But they have a superstitious
regard for outward religion. But men do not walk with God.
Men believe in heaven, and they all want to go there. Men believe
in hell, and nobody wants to go there. But as for a personal living
union with a living God, very few people know what it means,
and very few people have experienced it. Now, what caused that must
be the preaching we've heard. We have orthodox doctrine. Most
fundamental religionists, most church members, most people who
are not in the church believe this book is God's Word. We've
entitled it Holy Bible. Most people believe in the creation.
There are a few people who argue evolution, but I say most people
believe in the creation. Most people believe in the virgin
birth. Most people believe in the cross. Most people believe
in a resurrection. Most people believe in a second
coming. Fundamentally, we're orthodox. Our beliefs have been handed
down and we've accepted them without question. We have orthodox
doctrine. We're Baptists or Methodists
or Presbyterian or Nazarenes or Catholics or Jews or something,
but everybody's something. Everybody has denominational
preference depending upon their tradition. But love for God,
love for one another, It's not that. Joy in God, rejoicing in
the Lord, rejoicing in life, in death, in prosperity, in adversity,
rejoicing in time of affliction, in time of trial, in time of
success. Somebody said, God and the soldier
have a lot in common. We just love them when we need
them. Peace of heart, peace with God,
peace with ourselves, peace with one another. Something's missing. Patience, gentleness, goodness. These words are foreign. Faith
to overcome, faith to walk through everyday difficulties. Humility
is a forgotten virtue. Today we're surrounded with pride
of face, pride of race, pride of place, and unfortunately, pride of grace. Something's missing. The religion
is there, the orthodoxy is there, the system of belief is there,
but something is missing. The life is missing. And the missing note is found
in John 16.8. Our Lord gives it to us in his own Word. He
said, when he, the Spirit of truth, when the Holy Ghost is
come, he will convince the world of sin. And this is the missing
note. The world, the religious world
I'm talking about, the church world, the professing world,
has never been convinced of sin. The foundation work is missing.
We have built buildings without foundations. Preachers have gone forth to
convince men that God loves them. Smile, God loves you. If you
hear ten sermons on TV today, or ten sermons on the radio,
you'll hear just about ten sermons on the love of God. And they
have neglected to preach the wrath of God, the wrath that
sent His Son to the tree, the wrath that nailed Christ to the
cross. There's not a word about God's
anger against sin. Preachers have gone forth to
convince men of God's willingness to save. And He is willing to
save. He is plenteous in mercy. But
that's not all the message. Men have not been convinced of
God's determination to punish sin. Somebody said to a man, one time,
you believe a man who had no use for the gospel or the church
or the cross? He said, do you think that you'll
go to heaven when you die? He said, why, sure, God will
send me to heaven. That's what God's for. Men, preachers have gone forth
to convince men of God's willingness to receive them. But very little has been said
about our unwillingness to come to God. Christ said, You will
not come to me that you might have life. Christ said, O Jerusalem,
how oft would I have gathered you to myself, but you would
not. Preachers have gone forth to
comfort people. Where is the prophet who disturbs? Preachers have gone forth to
encourage people. Where is the man whom God said
would reprove and rebuke and exhort with all longsuffering?
We have plenty who are crying, peace, peace, when there is no
peace, but where are the disturbers of Israel? Men are built up who have never
been brought down. Men are filled who've never been
emptied. Men are given hope who've never
been without hope. Men are saved who've never been
lost. Men are healed who've never been
wounded. Men are exalted who've never
been humbled. Men are given life who've never
been the slain of the Lord. We sing, Amazing Grace, how sweet
the sound that saved a wretch? Where are the wretches? I once
was what? Lost, but now I'm found. Was
what? Blind, but now I see. We're talking
about the found and the seed, but we're not talking about the
lost and the blind. Men are given grace who've never
been guilty. The Holy Spirit never, and underscore that word never,
never takes a man to Calvary until he takes him first to Sinai. That was Saul of Tarsus' whole
trouble. He had religion without the foundation
work, without Holy Spirit conviction. He had been lifted up and he
had never been humbled. He had been given hope, but he
had never been without hope. He had been healed, but he'd
never been wounded. So he said, when the law came,
I died. God slew him. God stripped him. God broke him. God emptied him.
And then God healed him. The Holy Spirit never speaks
peace to a person's heart until that person has grieved and mourned
over his guilt before God. Guilt so great, so enormous,
that it can only be removed by the blood of the precious Son
of God. Guilt so great that it enlifted
heaven of its choice jewel. Guilt so great that it brought
down from heaven's glory the Son of God on a special mission. Guilt so great that only Christ
himself in the flesh could put it away. Guilt so great that
our Lord must endure hell itself. Guilt so great and shame so terrible
that our Lord had to suffer and to bleed and to die for it. Have
you ever been there? That's the missing note. We're clothing sinners, covering
their self-righteous rags without stripping off the rags first.
We're trying to build foundations under people who already have
foundations, without having those foundations of flesh, of fleshly
hope, of ceremonialism, of religion, of superstition swept away. The
way they cry, Lord, save me or I perish. Here's the missing note in our
Lord's own words. You turn with me to Luke 18.
In Luke chapter 18, now here's the missing note in our Lord's
own words. What am I saying? I'm saying this, that preachers
are crying peace when there is no peace. They're building up
people who've never been broken. They're saving people who've
never been lost. They're giving men a hope for
heaven without a union with Christ. And our churches are filled with
people who are walking in custom, duty, tradition, ceremonialism,
doctrine, and they're playing church. They're not approaching
God with sincere hearts, earnest hearts, or broken hearts, or
guilty hearts. In Luke 18, verse 10, our Lord
said, two men went up to the temple to pray. The one a Pharisee,
that Pharisee, you know, without my describing him, a religious
man, a moral man, an orthodox man, a teacher of the Scripture.
The other, a publican, a common man, a sinful man, an ordinary
man. The Pharisee stood. and prayed
thus with himself, God, I thank thee that I'm not as other men
are. They are extortioners, they are
unjust, they are adulterers. I'm not even as this publican,
and he pointed over there at this other gentleman. I fast twice in the week. I give
tithes of all that I possess. And the public, and our Master
said, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes
to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God, be merciful
unto me, a sinner." I tell you, Christ declared, this man went
down to his house justified, forgiven, just as if he had never
sinned. rather than the other, for every
one that exalteth himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth
himself, or is humbled, or is broken, shall be exalted." Look at these two men. The Pharisee
made his way up to the altar. He was familiar with these holy
things. The Pharisee stood That is, he
came right into the holy place. He was familiar with the temple.
He was familiar with the things of God. He felt that he belonged
there. He was a moral man. He was a
religious man. He was a studious man. He was
a man who knew the doctrine. He was very comfortable in the
temple and about the holy things. The publican Our Lord said he
stood afar off. He didn't feel worthy of the
presence of God. Someone said he stood afar off
and left room between him and God for a mediator, for an intercessor,
for an advocate. Like the people of Israel in
Exodus 20, verse 18, when Moses gave them the holy law, When
Moses gave them from Sinai's mountain that holy law of God,
that law which reaches not only the act, but the thought, the
attitude, not only the deed, but the imagination. When Moses
gave them that holy law, the scripture says that the people
stood afar off, and they cried, Moses, speak to God for us. Let not God speak to us, lest
we die. The Pharisee was comfortable
about the things of God, about the things of the temple, about
the things of the house of God. He came in and walked right up
to the holy place, up to the altar, and he stood there. And
what else did he do? He evidently lifted his eyes
toward heaven and spread his hands. That was their custom. They lifted up holy hands in
prayer, and he felt his were holy enough to lift up. obedience in a matter of self-satisfaction,
like the song I was listening to before I came to church. You
know, most religious singers don't pay any more attention
to what they're singing, the words. It's a beautiful melody,
and they've got a beautiful voice, and so they render it regardless
of what it says. It may butcher the gospel. And
I was listening to My friend from Alabama sang on the record
a while ago, and there he was singing that at the end of the
road, and this is the way one of the verses went. With a gate
open wide and a friend by my side, that's all that I ask as
a crown for my task when I get to the end of the road. That's pride, pure, religious,
arrogant pride. The publican would not. Christ
didn't say he could not. He said he would not so much
as lift his eyes, let alone his hands, toward heaven. He stood afar off. He felt unworthy
in the presence of God. He felt his guilt. He felt his
shame. And his downcast eyes revealed
his shame. He wouldn't so much as lift his
eyes to God, let alone his hands. Oh, the grief in his heart over
guilt. Pharisee literally denied his
sins. He didn't feel them. He wasn't
aware of them. He wasn't conscious of them.
There's no confession of sin, therefore there's no prayer.
There can be no prayer without a confession of sin. There's not one confession, nothing
but a self-righteous listing of all his good deeds and his
good character. God, I thank you. I'm not like
other men. Other men are extortioners, other
men are unjust, other men are adulterers, but not I. I've always
lived a clean, moral, righteous life, and I thank you, God." The Scripture says here, "...the
publican would not so much as lift his eyes to heaven, his
downcast eyes revealed the broken heart, and he smote upon his
breast." You know what I think? I think he knew where the trouble
was. The Pharisee didn't. The Pharisee
talked about outward acts and outward deeds. I've never done
this, and I've never done that, and I've never done the other.
Other people do these things. I've never done these things.
The publicans smoke on the fountain of sin. He knew the source of
sin. He knew the fountain of sin.
He smote on his breast. He cried, Oh, my heart, my heart,
my wicked heart. God looketh on the heart. Man
looketh on the outward countenance. Aren't you glad folks can't see
what you think? God can. Aren't you glad folks
can't see your heart? God can. Aren't you glad folks
don't know what you dream and what you imagine and what you
think? God does. Keep thy heart out of it or the
issues of life. And as that publican stood there
with his head down, not lifting his hands to heaven, but smote,
smote upon his breast, oh, the fountain of sin, the source of
sin. Turn to Matthew 15. Let's look
at something the Lord says here. Matthew 15. These religious Pharisees
were so exact about keeping the Sabbath day. They were so exact
about washing their hands before they ate. They were so exact
about not eating certain meats. They were so exact about not
drinking certain drinks. They were so exact about all
of these things. And our Lord said, In Matthew
15, 17, don't you understand that whatsoever entereth in at
the mouth goeth into the belly and is cast out into the draught,
goes through the digestive system and is cast out of the body?
But those things which proceed out of the mouth, those words, they come from your heart. Out
of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh, as a man
thinketh in his heart, so is he. And they defile the man,
for out of the heart proceeds evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemy. These are the things
that defile a man. This is sin. This religious world has never
been convinced of sin. And you can start in the primary
department, go through the juniors, intermediates, young peoples
and adults, and you can ask people the question, who's going to
heaven? They'll say, good people. Who's
going to hell? Bad people. And Satan has never conned this
generation with a bigger lie than that lie. Our Lord died to save sinners. And there are no good people.
There's none good, no, not one. You are superior to others only
because they can't see your heart, and unfortunately you can't see
it. Blind to sin. Blind to sin. You've never been lost, therefore
you've never been found. You've never been stripped, therefore
you've never been closed. You've never been empty-handed,
therefore you've never been filled. You've never been humble, therefore
you've never been exalted. Oh, you've exalted yourself.
Look at that word again. Our Lord said in verse 14, Everyone
that exalteth himself shall be at base. And that's what we've
done. The position before God that we have, we ourselves accomplished
it. God didn't do it. The Pharisee
dealt with trivial things. Look at verse 12. I fast twice
in the week. I get up every morning and pray.
I get up every morning and read my Bible. Thank you, Lord. I'm
not an adulterer. Thank you, Lord. I'm not unjust.
Thank you, Lord. I'm not an extortioner. Thank
you, Lord, that I've never done these things. Other people do,
but I never have. And, Lord, I thank you that I
fast and read my Bible and pray and I give tithes of all that
I possess. I've always taken my income and
sliced off your tent and given it to you faithfully, Lord. I
sure am glad I've done all these things." The Pharisee dealt with
trivial things. You know what Paul called them?
Dunghill garbage. He listed all his religious accomplishments,
a Hebrew of Hebrews, a Pharisee born circumcised, the tribe of
Benjamin concerning the law blameless, all these things. I count them
but dung that I may win Christ. Isaiah called it filthy rags. Aren't you ashamed to come into
the holy presence of a living God and dangle under his nose
your filthy rags? The publican had nothing to do
with these second-rate religious things. He prayed about weightier
matters. The Pharisee prayed with himself.
He didn't do any praying at all. He just bragged on himself. He
listed his characteristics, which he was quite pleased with, and
he listed his religious deeds, which are filthy rags. The publican
talked about weightier matters. He talked about sin. He talked
about mercy. He talked about substitution.
He talked about sacrifice. He talked about the blood. Where
do you get that, preacher? Well, let's look at what he said.
God? God? He went straight to God. He didn't talk to the good Pharisee.
He didn't look up the good religious Pharisee to talk to him. He didn't
inquire of his fellow worshipers. He didn't even return the contempt
of this Pharisee. The Pharisee was very contemptuous
toward him. Well, I'm not even like that
publicly. And this blessed man didn't turn
to the Pharisee and say, I'm good as you are. I'm just as good as the folks
in your church. I'm no worse off than your church
members. I expect you right. You're all
sons of Adam. You're all born in sin. You're
all under the wrath of God. What difference does it make
whether you're in the church under the wrath of God or down at the
booze hall under the wrath of God? They're all under the wrath
of God. The Scripture says, Therefore the law concludes all under sin. The law speaks that the whole
world might be guilty, that every mouth may be stopped. But this
publican He didn't go to people. He didn't return their contempt.
He didn't argue with the congregation. He went to God. He said, God!
That's where mercy is. That's where salvation is. That's
where grace is. He went to God. And what did
he go to God for? He wanted mercy. Mercy. I don't know what he knew about
the atonement. He had seen the morning sacrifice
and the evening sacrifice. He had seen the priest take the
blood of atonement under the veil into the Holy of Holies.
But according to every Bible commentator and every Greek lexicon,
this man said this. He said, God, be propitiated,
accept a sacrifice, and pardon me." That's what he's saying.
God be merciful. The only way God can be merciful
is by our sacrifice. The only way God can show mercy
is for sin to be paid for. That's the only way God can be
just and justify the ungodly. That's the only way God can be
righteous and justify you. is for a suitable sacrifice,
for an effectual sacrifice, for a redeeming ransom to be offered. God must be just. God must be
holy when he justifies the ungodly and when he forgives the guilty.
And this man comes for mercy, Lord. Be merciful. Let thy blood be propitiation
for me. That's the reason Christ died.
He didn't die as an example or as a martyr or as a frustrated
reformer. He died as a substitute. Our
sins were laid on him. Our guilt was laid on him. Therefore, because he took our
sins and paid our debt and suffered under the justice of God, then
God can be just and set me free because my debt's paid, because
my sins are put away. And this man acknowledged his
sins. God be merciful to me, and that A there is THE. It's
a definite article. It's God be merciful to me, THE
sinner. Mike was singing about it. Suffer
a sinner whose heart overflows, loving his Savior to tell what
he knows. Once more I tell it, would I
embrace? I'm only a sinner saved by grace. I don't care if you're here this
morning for the first time. Or if you've been here for 25
years, you're only a sinner. It doesn't matter if you've been
a believer for five minutes or you've been a believer for five
years. You're still just a sinner, saved by grace. You never graduate
beyond God's grace. You never cease to be a sinner. He didn't say, I'm a reformed
sinner, I'm a former sinner, I'm a penitent sinner, I'm a
praying sinner, I'm an awakened sinner. I'm tired of people putting
those justifying names ahead of the word sinner. You're just
and I'm just the sinner. That's all. Men see sin in proportion as
they see God's holiness. Did you know that? That's the reason most people
have a sorry conception of sin, is because they have a sorry
conception of God. Now you read the Bible and you'll
find that out. When Isaiah saw the Lord, how did he see Him? He saw Him,
he said in Isaiah 6, high and lifted up. His train filled the
temple. And the cherubims and seraphims
cried, Holy, holy, holy. And then Isaiah cried, Woe is
me, I'm a man of unclean lips, I dwell in the midst of a people
of unclean lips. You're pretty good because you're
comparing yourselves with the pretty bad. You'll find out when
you compare yourself with the perfect, immaculate, pure, holy
God Almighty, in whose presence the heavens are not even clean
and the stars are not pure, much less man that drinketh iniquity
like the water, you'll find out how unholy you are. And the reason
you have such a sorry conception of sin The reason you've got
sin's catalog so that you don't do this and you don't do that
and you don't do the other and you're a pretty good fella is
because you've got a pretty little God, a peanut God, mind you,
an unholy God, a God likened to yourself, who can only do
what you'll let him do, who can only be what you'll let him be,
who can only accomplish what you'll let him accomplish. God be merciful to me, the sinner."
Job thought he was a pretty good fellow. Job defended his righteousness,
defended his morality, bragged about his accomplishments. He
said, I'll never let go of my righteousness. Well, you know
what happened in chapters 37, 38, 39, and 40, don't you? God revealed himself to Job in
his holiness. And Job said, Lord, I've heard
of you by the ear, but now that I seeth thee, and what was the
result? Wherefore, I hate myself, I repent
in sackcloth and ashes. The missing note in present-day
preaching, the God of the Bible has not been preached, God in
his holiness, God in his sovereignty. God in His immaculate justice,
God in His righteousness, God in His love, holy love, pure
love, immaculate love, sinless love. In Him is no darkness. And men in their sins. And until
men see God in His holiness, they'll never be convicted of
their guilt and of their sins. They'll still come with their
idle, evil familiarity right into the presence of a holy God
and begin to talk about who they are and what they've done. But somewhere, somehow, the Holy
Spirit's going to convince some people of sin when he's come
The preacher can't do it, and your friends can't do it, but
the Holy Ghost can. And he's going to come, and he's
going to whittle down some old sinner. Oh, and when he does
it, it's tough. But thank God for Holy Spirit
conviction. He's going to come, and he's
going to lay bare your heart and how painful it'll be. He'll
show you what you are. He'll show you who you are. He'll
show you your hatred, and your lust, and your malice, and your
envy, and your jealousy, and your selfishness, and your pride. He'll strip you. He'll knock
all your foundations of religious flesh out from under you, all
your ceremonialism, and custom, and tradition, and heritage,
and background. And He'll leave you empty. dangling
over the gaping jaws of a burning, condemning hell. The only thing
between you and perishing is God's mercy. Guilty. And you're going to cry, Lord,
save me or I'll perish. And I'll tell you this, if He
ever does that for you and saves you, you'll love Him, you'll
worship Him, you'll praise Him, you'll be generous, He'll put
peace in your heart. He'll build you. He'll put your
feet on the right foundation. He'll put joy in your heart.
He'll give you a purpose for living. He'll give you hope for
dying. He'll give you an advocate at the judgment. T'was for sinners
that he suffered, iniquity, ruin, and hell. Can you doubt you're
a sinner? If you can, then bid all hope farewell. But believing
what is written, I'm guilty, dead in sin. Look to the crucified
Savior, and hope shall rise thy soul within." Our Lord was eating
in the home of a Pharisee, one of these religious fellows one
day, and there was a woman who came in off the streets. Of course,
she wasn't invited. She came in off the streets and
she fell at his feet in repentance and godless sorrow, bathed his
feet with tears, and dried them with a hair of her head, and
kissed his feet. And that proud religious Pharisee who had tithed
his income that Sabbath day, and fasted twice that week, and
spent his time in the morning and evening prayers, and been
down to the church, and won some souls, and given his money, and
given alms to the poor, he looked down and he thought, if that
fellow was a prophet, He'd know that woman's a sinner, and he
wouldn't let her touch him, let alone kiss his feet. And our
Lord looked up. He knew men's thoughts. And he
said, Simon, this was Simon the Pharisee. Simon, I've got something
to ask you. Simon said, say on, Master. He said, Simon, there
was a fellow that owed a man, owed him $500,000. That's an enormous debt. And
Simon, that man forgave him, just told him to write it off,
write it off, pay him. Now, Simon, there was another
man that owed that same fellow ten dollars, and that fellow
told him, too, to write it off, mark it, pay it. Simon, which
one of those fellows will love him the most? Simon said, The
one to whom he forgave the most will love him most. Our Lord
said, Simon, thou hast well said. Thou hast well said. I came to
your house, Simon, and you gave me no kiss of greeting at the
door. This woman has not ceased to kiss my feet. You wonder why church members
have to be coerced to come to church and beg to give and beg
to come to prayer meeting and beg to read their Bible. You
have to give them awards and all these things. Same reason
Simon didn't meet the Lord and kiss him. Simon, I came to your door and
you didn't give me any water to wash my feet. They were tired
and dirty and weary and you didn't give me any water. This woman
bathed my feet with tears. Simon, I came to your door, and
you gave me no precious ointment to anoint my hot and dry head. This woman's anointed my feet
with everything she's got." I say unto thee, Simon, her sins, which
are many, are all forgiven. To whom much is forgiven, you'll
love much. You want to know what's wrong?
I know what's wrong. These preachers, I don't know whether they know
it or not. But the missing note in present-day preaching is the
conviction of some men have never been lost. We've got them to
make decisions when they're juniors or sophomores or something else,
or primaries, and we run them through the baptismal waters
and put their names on the roll. We'll call in a hot-shot singer
and a hot-shot preacher, and he'll tell his little jokes and
preach his little sermons that he's preached all over the country
and give his invitation, and down the aisle they'll run, shake
the preacher's hand, run them through the pool, put their name
on the roll, kiss them goodbye. They're all ready to die. They've
been dead, and they're still dead, and they've never received
life. They've never been lost, never
been convicted. Our Father in Heaven, O God, be merciful to me. Let thy blood be propitiation
for me. Forgive my sins. through the
blood of Thy Son, be merciful to me, the sinner. Reveal unto
us the true condition of our fallen hearts. Reveal unto us
the true condition of our minds and our wills. Shut us up to
mercy till we call on the living God till he speaks to us in pardon
and peace. Lord, move in our midst, leave
us not to ourselves. Help us that we might be saved
from this perverse religious generation. For we pray it in
Christ's name. Amen.
