1 00:00:05,070 --> 00:00:06,950 I'm going to ask you to turn tonight 2 00:00:06,950 --> 00:00:13,320 to the Book of Acts, Chapter 22. 3 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,880 Last evening I spoke to you along the 4 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:30,180 line of Paul's definition of what it meant 5 00:00:30,180 --> 00:00:31,020 to be a Christian. 6 00:00:31,299 --> 00:00:34,420 Tonight I want to come at the same 7 00:00:34,420 --> 00:00:37,360 truth, I hope I'm led of the Lord, 8 00:00:40,070 --> 00:00:44,430 and just ask the question, what does it 9 00:00:44,430 --> 00:00:47,490 mean to be S-A-V-E-D, 10 00:00:47,650 --> 00:00:48,010 saved? 11 00:00:51,860 --> 00:00:57,580 There isn't anybody in the world tonight who 12 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,500 gives the slightest evidence of being a captive 13 00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:10,240 of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is in 14 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,840 wrecking his brain and searching his heart to 15 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:25,700 find out how we can represent Christ in 16 00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:32,040 this age where the spirit of Antichrist breathes 17 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:41,170 down our necks, where everything that's worth believing 18 00:01:41,170 --> 00:01:49,840 is under severe attack, where preachers 19 00:01:49,840 --> 00:02:00,700 all over the world are taken out, and 20 00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:04,200 where it's a question of whether we're going 21 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,520 to have any open churches in America two 22 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,980 years from now, and a deeper question of 23 00:02:10,980 --> 00:02:13,560 whether we've got a right to stay open. 24 00:02:21,630 --> 00:02:28,400 I believe, don't make it so, that everyone 25 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,320 who names the name of Christ and makes 26 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:37,480 a good confession, say, Amen, to the fact 27 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:44,420 that you realize something has died and that 28 00:02:44,420 --> 00:02:46,340 new thing has not yet been born. 29 00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:52,710 I'm dead certain that we can get all 30 00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:55,210 the labels we want, we can call ourselves 31 00:02:55,210 --> 00:03:01,090 fundamentalists and Bible believers and grace people, and 32 00:03:01,090 --> 00:03:04,010 making them what label we put on ourselves, 33 00:03:09,180 --> 00:03:12,700 that we're going to have to come to 34 00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:17,340 the hard-core discipline of the New Testament, 35 00:03:19,620 --> 00:03:21,940 or we won't have any right to claim 36 00:03:21,940 --> 00:03:28,820 to be Christ's representatives, for nothing short of 37 00:03:28,820 --> 00:03:38,480 utter, utter, abandoned commitment to the redemptive program 38 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,990 of Christ Jesus is going to enable us 39 00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:46,010 to keep our heads above the water. 40 00:03:50,750 --> 00:03:54,890 I believe last fall it was, as I 41 00:03:54,890 --> 00:03:55,990 left you, dear people. 42 00:03:56,730 --> 00:03:59,950 I went north to Pennsylvania, as I recall, 43 00:04:00,050 --> 00:04:01,890 and then to Canada, and I believe I 44 00:04:01,890 --> 00:04:02,910 went first to Canada. 45 00:04:03,130 --> 00:04:03,690 I'm not certain. 46 00:04:04,910 --> 00:04:08,910 But up in Pennsylvania, Pastor said, I want 47 00:04:08,910 --> 00:04:10,590 you to take a couple of hours, I 48 00:04:10,590 --> 00:04:12,110 want you to take out in that country. 49 00:04:13,210 --> 00:04:15,329 And he took me out to the training 50 00:04:15,329 --> 00:04:20,329 center of the New Tribes Mission. 51 00:04:22,490 --> 00:04:29,280 I was challenged there, since I do not 52 00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:32,400 believe there's a bit of difference in being 53 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,180 a witness for Christ in the jungle and 54 00:04:35,180 --> 00:04:40,380 in Pasadena, since I believe all this foolishness 55 00:04:40,380 --> 00:04:43,640 about Lord called me to be a missionary, 56 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,020 was born in hell and not in the 57 00:04:46,020 --> 00:04:50,830 Bible, since I believe the day God saved 58 00:04:50,830 --> 00:04:52,730 me gave you a ministry and made you 59 00:04:52,730 --> 00:04:57,130 a missionary, since I believe the Commander-in 60 00:04:57,130 --> 00:05:01,570 -Chief has a right to transfer one of 61 00:05:01,570 --> 00:05:03,730 his missionaries anytime he wants to. 62 00:05:07,540 --> 00:05:10,540 I saw something there at that training center 63 00:05:10,540 --> 00:05:12,940 that I said, if this doesn't take place, 64 00:05:14,140 --> 00:05:16,820 we don't quit being so pious and so 65 00:05:16,820 --> 00:05:23,000 fundamental and so religious, and we don't do 66 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:29,100 some hard thinking and quit being religious as 67 00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:38,210 a substitute for being obedient and have some 68 00:05:38,210 --> 00:05:45,660 congregations that are made up of people who 69 00:05:45,660 --> 00:05:48,460 are not a disgrace to the grace of 70 00:05:48,460 --> 00:05:56,710 God, learn how to endure hardness as a 71 00:05:56,710 --> 00:06:02,510 good soldier of Christ, quit this piousity that's 72 00:06:02,510 --> 00:06:04,170 about to put us out of business. 73 00:06:04,310 --> 00:06:06,530 I'd rather have a church full of folks 74 00:06:06,530 --> 00:06:10,090 that get drunk every Saturday night, rob poor 75 00:06:10,090 --> 00:06:12,950 banks and come and repent Sunday morning and 76 00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:14,850 go out and put his arm around some 77 00:06:14,850 --> 00:06:17,610 old devil and love him to Jesus, than 78 00:06:17,610 --> 00:06:23,250 this religious Pharisee-ism that we call fundamentalism. 79 00:06:27,210 --> 00:06:30,010 I learned that all those young men and 80 00:06:30,010 --> 00:06:33,190 women, I watched them and they showed me 81 00:06:33,190 --> 00:06:35,630 their training ground and what they had to 82 00:06:35,630 --> 00:06:36,110 do. 83 00:06:37,190 --> 00:06:39,770 I recommend it to this church and this 84 00:06:39,770 --> 00:06:41,510 school and every church. 85 00:06:41,690 --> 00:06:44,410 I believe the church now that is not 86 00:06:44,410 --> 00:06:51,100 an institute training to do battle in this 87 00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:53,600 day has no right to exist. 88 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,960 No youngsters before they send them over to 89 00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,880 do missionary work for what we call the 90 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:04,100 heathens, they spend two years sleeping on the 91 00:07:04,100 --> 00:07:04,480 ground. 92 00:07:05,780 --> 00:07:10,480 It gets cold up in Pennsylvania, but since 93 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,560 the natives are going to preach to all 94 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,880 sleep on the ground, the youngsters have to 95 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,040 learn how to sleep on the ground. 96 00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:24,590 And then three months out of every year, 97 00:07:24,750 --> 00:07:29,010 the two years those youngsters are there, they 98 00:07:29,010 --> 00:07:31,390 have to live off the earth. 99 00:07:32,610 --> 00:07:38,810 Learn to live off of berries, acorns, pork 100 00:07:38,810 --> 00:07:43,150 salad, whatever you can find lying around, because 101 00:07:43,150 --> 00:07:44,530 that's the way the folks they're going to 102 00:07:44,530 --> 00:07:46,330 preach to live all the time. 103 00:07:49,940 --> 00:07:52,560 I ain't going to join that mission group. 104 00:07:53,540 --> 00:07:55,620 I want to be religious, but I don't 105 00:07:55,620 --> 00:07:57,120 want to get radical around here. 106 00:08:00,550 --> 00:08:04,490 Of course, I believe that there's a hell 107 00:08:04,490 --> 00:08:05,230 perhaps. 108 00:08:07,690 --> 00:08:10,790 Men ought to repent to a certain extent. 109 00:08:11,110 --> 00:08:13,450 They're going to be punished probably, but I 110 00:08:13,450 --> 00:08:15,470 don't want to get too deeply involved, and 111 00:08:15,470 --> 00:08:16,590 you don't either, do you? 112 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,660 We're going to get involved, but we're going 113 00:08:20,660 --> 00:08:23,080 to be out of business as sure as 114 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,900 God made green apple. 115 00:08:26,860 --> 00:08:31,000 This business of substituting attendance on a place 116 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,940 of service for obedience to Jesus Christ is 117 00:08:35,940 --> 00:08:37,159 already out. 118 00:08:37,740 --> 00:08:39,419 We just haven't found it out. 119 00:08:41,179 --> 00:08:43,159 I want to talk to you out of 120 00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:48,040 the book tonight again on what it means 121 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,120 to be saved. 122 00:08:52,110 --> 00:08:54,310 What does it mean to be saved? 123 00:08:56,890 --> 00:09:00,510 Every church in America is split wide open 124 00:09:00,510 --> 00:09:02,350 on this subject. 125 00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:07,810 I think that it is of Satan, not 126 00:09:07,810 --> 00:09:12,790 of God, for churches to split over doctrine. 127 00:09:13,950 --> 00:09:17,330 I don't believe any of us know enough 128 00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:20,010 about any doctrine to fuss about. 129 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:29,220 But I wish that the Holy Spirit would 130 00:09:29,220 --> 00:09:33,840 favor us with his presence one more time 131 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:40,100 and reveal the awful split in all of 132 00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:44,300 our churches over this question of what it 133 00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:45,540 means to be saved. 134 00:09:46,820 --> 00:09:49,640 For I think we'll find out that most 135 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,540 of our churches, this one included, to be 136 00:09:52,540 --> 00:09:56,520 saved means an eternal joy ride of talking 137 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:57,760 a good ball game. 138 00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:02,240 But in the New Testament, it's a white 139 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,820 horse of a different color. 140 00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:11,140 I believe that God has shut us up 141 00:10:11,140 --> 00:10:15,280 and brought us to this hour, and put 142 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,800 us in a cave like he did Elijah, 143 00:10:21,170 --> 00:10:26,650 and caused us to be all by ourselves 144 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:33,920 because he's not been pleased with what we 145 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,620 preached to men and women when we had 146 00:10:36,620 --> 00:10:38,440 an open door to reach them. 147 00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:42,720 I do not believe God is going to 148 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:49,140 give us another hearing in my day, until 149 00:10:49,140 --> 00:10:54,820 with iron-core discipline we quit making a 150 00:10:54,820 --> 00:10:58,480 joke out of what it means to be 151 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,040 saved by the grace of God, and that 152 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,680 when we go out to witness, we'll have 153 00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:09,140 something to say. 154 00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:12,220 And I don't believe God is going to 155 00:11:12,220 --> 00:11:16,260 put his fire on us until we get 156 00:11:16,260 --> 00:11:23,420 back to the gospel that transforms men and 157 00:11:23,420 --> 00:11:27,500 women and settles some things at the beginning. 158 00:11:29,180 --> 00:11:32,520 I'm so tired of this nice gospel that's 159 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,440 made us invent 1,700 different terms to 160 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,300 make this generation of nice little people who 161 00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:43,720 have gone through some sort of emotion and 162 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,680 profession or something like that, and we've had 163 00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:50,140 to invent all of these terms. 164 00:11:50,620 --> 00:11:52,820 I hear them talking about, he's a born 165 00:11:52,820 --> 00:11:56,600 -again Christian of some other kind. 166 00:11:57,540 --> 00:12:00,700 He's a praying Christian, that means of some 167 00:12:00,700 --> 00:12:01,480 other kind. 168 00:12:01,940 --> 00:12:05,440 He's a consecrated Christian, that means of some 169 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,060 other kind. 170 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,180 Now, that's a bunch of sassy prayers. 171 00:12:12,110 --> 00:12:15,010 He's a Christian who loves the Lord, that 172 00:12:15,010 --> 00:12:16,490 means of some other kind. 173 00:12:17,950 --> 00:12:20,570 He's a Christian who served in the Lord, 174 00:12:20,570 --> 00:12:22,170 that means of some other kind. 175 00:12:23,550 --> 00:12:26,030 He's a Christian who is all out for 176 00:12:26,030 --> 00:12:28,490 Christ, that means of some other kind. 177 00:12:28,650 --> 00:12:30,010 Now, that's not so! 178 00:12:32,010 --> 00:12:33,890 That's what our trouble is. 179 00:12:36,140 --> 00:12:38,900 We just want to come on back for 180 00:12:38,900 --> 00:12:43,980 ourselves individually and go a little more into 181 00:12:43,980 --> 00:12:46,860 Bible truth and find out whether we got 182 00:12:46,860 --> 00:12:52,540 the slightest reasonable evidence to call ourselves a 183 00:12:52,540 --> 00:12:54,800 captive of the Lord Jesus Christ. 184 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:56,680 Now, I don't know whether this is so 185 00:12:56,680 --> 00:12:57,900 or not, but I believe it. 186 00:12:58,460 --> 00:13:01,560 I just do not believe that we're going 187 00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:04,020 to have any kind of fire except false 188 00:13:04,020 --> 00:13:06,840 fire until we get back to the gospel. 189 00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:10,660 And the gospel is the power of God 190 00:13:10,660 --> 00:13:18,940 unto salvation, not your testimony, not you telling 191 00:13:18,940 --> 00:13:20,880 somebody what great things the Lord has done 192 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:21,540 for you. 193 00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:23,260 There ain't no power in that. 194 00:13:25,180 --> 00:13:27,460 The power is in the gospel. 195 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,560 And we just, well, camp here a while 196 00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:38,080 and just say something and come out behind 197 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:43,280 our alibis why it's been 40 years since 198 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,120 we've had any church members who could do 199 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,020 anything else except go out and try to 200 00:13:50,020 --> 00:13:51,420 get somebody to take Jesus. 201 00:13:51,580 --> 00:13:53,540 They've already taken him a dozen times. 202 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,260 Or go out and try to get somebody 203 00:13:56,260 --> 00:13:58,940 to come and hear somebody preach, when the 204 00:13:58,940 --> 00:14:01,660 only kind of personal work there is in 205 00:14:01,660 --> 00:14:04,380 the New Testament is to go out and 206 00:14:04,380 --> 00:14:08,300 preach the gospel, just like Peter did to 207 00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:09,480 old Cornelius. 208 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,360 And I hope this school will tear up 209 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,520 and burn up before tomorrow, and this church 210 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,260 will be wiped off the face of the 211 00:14:16,260 --> 00:14:19,540 earth, the world's in bad enough shape, unless 212 00:14:19,540 --> 00:14:22,800 we're ready to come under Christ's discipline, quit 213 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,840 playing rumble peg, quit making a joke out 214 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,940 of what God does when he revolutionizes a 215 00:14:28,940 --> 00:14:31,920 man and changes him by his grace, and 216 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,340 learn the gospel and go out and have 217 00:14:34,340 --> 00:14:34,620 time. 218 00:14:34,740 --> 00:14:36,900 You can get a sinner still, don't waste 219 00:14:36,900 --> 00:14:39,260 time trying to get him to do anything, 220 00:14:39,260 --> 00:14:43,020 telling the thing that's got power to transform 221 00:14:43,020 --> 00:14:43,540 men. 222 00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:49,960 It's the God's truth that we've got to 223 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:54,040 quit being little babies and wanting somebody to 224 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,440 believe that we are the people in whom 225 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,120 the Lord has triumphed for his power and 226 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:02,460 grace. 227 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,460 And it's got to come to the place 228 00:15:04,460 --> 00:15:06,240 where we've got to take down our sign 229 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,940 and quit claiming to be a child of 230 00:15:07,940 --> 00:15:11,560 God, unless we're full of the gospel and 231 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,200 just spout it off every time we can 232 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,180 get a fellow to stand still. 233 00:15:16,780 --> 00:15:18,620 Now, there's been none of that. 234 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:20,640 There's been none of that. 235 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,940 All this feverish activity of the flesh, we've 236 00:15:24,940 --> 00:15:27,980 been using it as a substitute for doing 237 00:15:27,980 --> 00:15:29,840 what we're commanded to do. 238 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,900 The Lord never did tell the Church to 239 00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:34,720 go into all the world and tell what 240 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,400 Jesus means to you. 241 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,440 The Lord never did tell the Church to 242 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,560 go into all the world and try to 243 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,200 get somebody to make a decision. 244 00:15:44,900 --> 00:15:47,600 The Lord never did tell the Church to 245 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,220 go out and try to get somebody to 246 00:15:49,220 --> 00:15:50,340 come here and somebody to preach. 247 00:15:50,940 --> 00:15:52,780 I guess those things are better than nothing, 248 00:15:52,980 --> 00:15:54,940 but we've got to the place now that 249 00:15:54,940 --> 00:15:56,700 better than nothing ain't going to get the 250 00:15:56,700 --> 00:15:57,300 job done. 251 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:58,640 We're going to have to start doing what 252 00:15:58,640 --> 00:15:59,580 the Bible says. 253 00:15:59,580 --> 00:16:01,660 We're going to have to start the school 254 00:16:01,660 --> 00:16:04,520 now, and if you can, quit being so 255 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,600 bloomin' religious for a little while and just 256 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,180 come on and be an old sinner saved 257 00:16:10,180 --> 00:16:13,380 by grace, I hope, and sit at the 258 00:16:13,380 --> 00:16:16,780 feet of the Master, Teacher and the power 259 00:16:16,780 --> 00:16:21,180 of the Holy Ghost, until the Lord, having 260 00:16:21,180 --> 00:16:25,680 worn out your traditions, can send an army 261 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,880 out from this place to do what the 262 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,080 Lord told you to do, preach the gospel. 263 00:16:34,420 --> 00:16:36,460 You don't believe that, but it's so. 264 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,700 Imagine the Lord having to kill the Apostle 265 00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:44,660 Peter, and finally got the Apostle Peter to 266 00:16:44,660 --> 00:16:46,780 leave some of his prejudice behind, and he 267 00:16:46,780 --> 00:16:48,300 sent him down to that old Cornelius. 268 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,020 The first thing Cornelius did was say, Cornelius, 269 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,820 I've come down here to ask you if 270 00:16:52,820 --> 00:16:53,540 you will take me. 271 00:16:54,780 --> 00:17:00,220 And he said, well, we've got Brother Jackson 272 00:17:00,220 --> 00:17:02,200 preaching for us, and we'd like you to 273 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,560 come out to one of the services. 274 00:17:04,500 --> 00:17:05,859 He didn't say that, did he? 275 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,060 No, he just opened up the book and 276 00:17:09,060 --> 00:17:09,680 preached. 277 00:17:11,700 --> 00:17:14,700 And that's what everybody's going to have to 278 00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:15,740 start doing. 279 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:21,480 That's the truth. 280 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,200 This is the hard part. 281 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,480 You've got any scripture for it? 282 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:27,480 I dead sure have. 283 00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:28,640 Acts 22. 284 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,820 Let's look at this passage briefly. 285 00:17:32,820 --> 00:17:36,700 Three times in the book of Acts we 286 00:17:36,700 --> 00:17:40,940 have the account of that dramatic experience when 287 00:17:40,940 --> 00:17:44,560 Saul of Tarsus was on his way to 288 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:51,260 Damascus on destruction bent, and the Lord Jesus 289 00:17:51,260 --> 00:17:57,000 Christ confronted him, revealed himself unto him, and 290 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:08,570 lifted him prostrate, conquered him, saying, 291 00:18:08,670 --> 00:18:11,110 Lord, what wilt thou have me do? 292 00:18:11,110 --> 00:18:14,270 Acts 9, Acts 22, Acts 26. 293 00:18:14,810 --> 00:18:17,450 Acts 9, Luke does the talking. 294 00:18:17,870 --> 00:18:22,250 Acts 22 and 26, the Apostle Paul does 295 00:18:22,250 --> 00:18:27,330 the talking, and you're familiar with his experience, 296 00:18:27,910 --> 00:18:34,950 an experience that settled something, that from there 297 00:18:34,950 --> 00:18:39,790 on out the Apostle Paul would just be 298 00:18:39,790 --> 00:18:42,470 interested in one thing. 299 00:18:43,510 --> 00:18:46,750 And he said, Lord, you call the shots, 300 00:18:47,650 --> 00:18:51,190 what wilt thou have me do? 301 00:18:52,590 --> 00:18:56,270 The old Aunt Pabner said, When I was 302 00:18:56,270 --> 00:18:58,070 a boy I went to the old-fashioned 303 00:18:58,070 --> 00:19:01,350 altar, and I went through the motions the 304 00:19:01,350 --> 00:19:04,530 brethren told me to do, and I didn't 305 00:19:04,530 --> 00:19:06,130 know much what was going on. 306 00:19:06,970 --> 00:19:09,470 I didn't know one doctrine from the other 307 00:19:09,470 --> 00:19:11,670 when I went down there, or after I 308 00:19:11,670 --> 00:19:12,190 got up. 309 00:19:13,010 --> 00:19:15,510 The only thing I knew when I walked 310 00:19:15,510 --> 00:19:17,790 out of that little church building that night 311 00:19:18,530 --> 00:19:22,210 was that I was under a new mask. 312 00:19:28,070 --> 00:19:30,730 That's exactly what happened to Saul of Tarsus. 313 00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:38,420 Everything is not settled in a person's conversion 314 00:19:38,420 --> 00:19:43,200 experience, but this is, that from now on 315 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,880 out there is just one thing that will 316 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:52,140 make me think, what wilt thou have me 317 00:19:52,140 --> 00:19:52,420 do? 318 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,280 And so the Lord was kind to Paul, 319 00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:02,280 and he sent a fellow by the name 320 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,460 of Ananias, verse 12. 321 00:20:05,820 --> 00:20:08,580 Ananias was a devout man, according to the 322 00:20:08,580 --> 00:20:12,040 law, having a good report of all the 323 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,240 Jews which dwelt there. 324 00:20:14,140 --> 00:20:18,040 This fellow Ananias came unto Paul and said, 325 00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:20,040 Brother Saul, receive thy sight. 326 00:20:21,020 --> 00:20:23,460 In the same hour I did, and I 327 00:20:23,460 --> 00:20:26,740 looked up upon him, and he told me 328 00:20:26,740 --> 00:20:29,920 what had happened to me and why it 329 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:30,480 had happened. 330 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:32,800 Here it is. 331 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:39,760 Ananias said to Paul, that God of our 332 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,760 Father hath chosen thee. 333 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,640 Young preachers, if you decide to tackle the 334 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,560 doctrine of election, study it at least 30 335 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:57,260 minutes before you do, because it's been butchered 336 00:20:57,260 --> 00:21:00,920 all over this country, and it's been made 337 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,740 an enemy of the gospel, and it's led 338 00:21:04,740 --> 00:21:06,970 so many people to turn the grace of 339 00:21:06,970 --> 00:21:08,790 God into lasciviousness. 340 00:21:10,810 --> 00:21:12,410 And that means they haven't got it right. 341 00:21:15,730 --> 00:21:19,090 Study it under this aspect, that God of 342 00:21:19,090 --> 00:21:21,550 our Father hath chosen thee. 343 00:21:22,130 --> 00:21:22,870 What for? 344 00:21:23,430 --> 00:21:25,910 That three things would be true of you. 345 00:21:26,190 --> 00:21:30,690 First, that thou shouldst know his will. 346 00:21:31,970 --> 00:21:35,410 Oh, you little pecker would run round here 347 00:21:35,410 --> 00:21:38,090 and say, and ask him to find out 348 00:21:38,090 --> 00:21:39,690 what the will of God is. 349 00:21:39,830 --> 00:21:41,490 Well, he'll show it to you when he 350 00:21:41,490 --> 00:21:42,150 sees it. 351 00:21:43,370 --> 00:21:45,110 All you need to do is get saved. 352 00:21:50,740 --> 00:21:52,480 The will of God! 353 00:21:55,570 --> 00:22:02,800 That's why God chooses people, that they would 354 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:08,240 be able to live in a God-ordered 355 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:15,320 world where the only way that works is 356 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,780 to be in the will of God. 357 00:22:20,540 --> 00:22:26,720 Away with our easy salvation that's got us 358 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,820 in the mess we're in, that is utterly 359 00:22:29,820 --> 00:22:33,160 separated from doing the will of God. 360 00:22:36,620 --> 00:22:38,380 I'll tell you why God laid his hand 361 00:22:38,380 --> 00:22:39,520 on you, Paul. 362 00:22:39,940 --> 00:22:42,540 I'll tell you why he crossed your path. 363 00:22:42,980 --> 00:22:45,500 I'll tell you why he revealed himself to 364 00:22:45,500 --> 00:22:47,440 you, so that you'd know the will of 365 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:47,960 God. 366 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,260 This is the biggest thing between the eternities, 367 00:22:52,420 --> 00:22:53,500 the will of God. 368 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,140 This is the only place a man can 369 00:23:01,140 --> 00:23:04,800 fit in, in this world, for this is 370 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:12,380 God's world, and I want you to know 371 00:23:12,380 --> 00:23:12,660 it. 372 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,120 And then I want something else. 373 00:23:17,940 --> 00:23:21,900 Second thing, the reason God chose you is 374 00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:27,380 that you might see that just one. 375 00:23:29,090 --> 00:23:31,030 He'd reveal himself to you. 376 00:23:35,090 --> 00:23:37,670 This is worth fighting for. 377 00:23:38,950 --> 00:23:42,290 I'm just not going to waste my time 378 00:23:42,290 --> 00:23:45,190 trying to get somebody to change their belief 379 00:23:45,190 --> 00:23:48,250 in a certain doctrine, just make you a 380 00:23:48,250 --> 00:23:49,010 little meaner. 381 00:23:50,350 --> 00:23:51,010 Hear me! 382 00:23:52,710 --> 00:23:58,130 But I will fight, and please God, whatever 383 00:23:58,130 --> 00:24:03,200 it costs, I've been in this battle, that 384 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:12,600 salvation comes to a man when, with 385 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:18,840 eyes of faith, he sees Jesus Christ, not 386 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,600 believe something about him. 387 00:24:20,940 --> 00:24:23,320 They're in the person here whose belief right 388 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,920 now is as sound and orthodox as the 389 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:27,840 devil's is. 390 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:37,420 But Paul, I went down and interfered with 391 00:24:37,420 --> 00:24:40,600 you and laid my hand upon you! 392 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,100 Thou mightest see that just one. 393 00:24:48,410 --> 00:24:56,270 Third thing, that thou should hear the voice 394 00:24:56,270 --> 00:24:58,150 of his mouth. 395 00:25:01,870 --> 00:25:04,690 Now, honey, until these three things are about 396 00:25:04,690 --> 00:25:08,170 you, are true of you, for God's sake, 397 00:25:08,290 --> 00:25:10,510 don't touch the doctrine of election, and for 398 00:25:10,510 --> 00:25:13,090 God's sake, don't say nothing about being a 399 00:25:13,090 --> 00:25:13,470 Christian! 400 00:25:16,350 --> 00:25:17,550 This is it! 401 00:25:20,470 --> 00:25:22,910 What kind of an animal is a Christian? 402 00:25:24,890 --> 00:25:27,070 He's a man or a woman who's been 403 00:25:27,070 --> 00:25:32,810 apprehended by Almighty God, and the will of 404 00:25:32,810 --> 00:25:35,630 God has been made central in his life. 405 00:25:35,690 --> 00:25:37,050 That's what conversion is. 406 00:25:38,070 --> 00:25:40,990 And it's been made central in his life 407 00:25:40,990 --> 00:25:45,910 because he can say, Lord, I believe some 408 00:25:45,910 --> 00:25:48,910 things, but I've seen somebody. 409 00:25:50,330 --> 00:25:53,090 And that somebody is the Lord Jesus Christ. 410 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,400 And I have not only seen him, but 411 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,100 I've heard of him. 412 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,360 One hundred and sixty-seven times in the 413 00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:07,120 New Testament, salvation is ascribed to a sinner 414 00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:11,400 being enabled by the Spirit of God to 415 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:19,860 respond when God calls him to the gospel. 416 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,600 One hundred and sixty-seven times. 417 00:26:22,860 --> 00:26:25,260 If you haven't seen him, shut up. 418 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,060 If you haven't heard from him, shut up! 419 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,280 This world's confused enough as it is. 420 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:39,420 And if you haven't been broken and triumphed 421 00:26:39,420 --> 00:26:45,740 over, until the only freedom you want is 422 00:26:45,740 --> 00:26:48,240 the freedom to do the will of God, 423 00:26:48,380 --> 00:26:51,140 for God's sake, shut up and come to 424 00:26:51,140 --> 00:26:55,800 the morning speech and get right with God 425 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,820 before you go out to represent him. 426 00:27:01,260 --> 00:27:02,900 Now, is that just your opinion? 427 00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:03,640 No, sir. 428 00:27:03,980 --> 00:27:06,480 These three things have got to be true 429 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,220 in your experience, or you are misfit. 430 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:15,980 The 15th verse says, God chose you and 431 00:27:15,980 --> 00:27:19,180 brought these three things in you, for he's 432 00:27:19,180 --> 00:27:20,260 got something for you. 433 00:27:21,060 --> 00:27:27,790 For thou shalt be his witness unto all 434 00:27:27,790 --> 00:27:28,890 men of what? 435 00:27:30,820 --> 00:27:32,620 What you believe about something? 436 00:27:32,780 --> 00:27:35,900 No, sir, of what you've seen and heard. 437 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,360 And this isn't optional. 438 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,020 It isn't that God's people ought to be 439 00:27:44,020 --> 00:27:48,440 witnesses, it is that God's people are witnesses. 440 00:27:49,700 --> 00:27:53,560 And God's people are witnesses of what they've 441 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,120 seen and what they've heard. 442 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,920 Now, somebody said, Brother Barnes, this is in 443 00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:01,320 the realm of the supernatural. 444 00:28:01,620 --> 00:28:04,320 Sure, sure. 445 00:28:05,460 --> 00:28:10,860 But this is why God laid hold on 446 00:28:10,860 --> 00:28:11,280 Paul. 447 00:28:12,140 --> 00:28:13,920 And you've got to get your two plans 448 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,300 of salvation, or two Gospels, or something, or 449 00:28:17,300 --> 00:28:18,780 you've just got to camp here. 450 00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:21,480 This is it, this is it. 451 00:28:22,700 --> 00:28:24,280 What does it mean to be saved? 452 00:28:25,540 --> 00:28:28,120 What on earth does it mean to be 453 00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:28,380 saved? 454 00:28:32,610 --> 00:28:34,150 Now, there ain't a bit of use on 455 00:28:34,150 --> 00:28:40,620 earth, us trying to deny the fact that 456 00:28:40,620 --> 00:28:42,520 if any of us have ever got to 457 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,360 the Lord, it'd be a wonder. 458 00:28:46,540 --> 00:28:48,840 How on God's earth anybody could have got 459 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,500 saved in the last 40 years is some 460 00:28:51,500 --> 00:28:52,020 miracle. 461 00:28:54,260 --> 00:28:57,880 For the biggest joke between the eternities is 462 00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,260 what it means to be saved. 463 00:29:02,790 --> 00:29:05,870 I've had preachers cancel meetings on me when 464 00:29:05,870 --> 00:29:10,970 they heard that I said it, what the 465 00:29:10,970 --> 00:29:12,270 Lord said it. 466 00:29:12,750 --> 00:29:16,510 Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, 467 00:29:16,690 --> 00:29:22,750 that's good Calvinistic hard-shell orthodoxy, Lord, Lord. 468 00:29:23,410 --> 00:29:27,090 Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, 469 00:29:27,750 --> 00:29:31,210 shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but who 470 00:29:31,210 --> 00:29:31,650 will? 471 00:29:32,910 --> 00:29:38,350 He that doeth, present tense participle. 472 00:29:39,430 --> 00:29:40,150 What? 473 00:29:40,870 --> 00:29:42,270 The will of God! 474 00:29:43,450 --> 00:29:45,350 And these folks that have got us some 475 00:29:45,350 --> 00:29:48,550 little church like Brother Tyner and some little 476 00:29:48,550 --> 00:29:52,950 theories and boxed up God so even God's 477 00:29:52,950 --> 00:29:55,450 afraid to knock on the door, afraid it'll 478 00:29:55,450 --> 00:29:57,090 be in the wrong dispensation. 479 00:29:57,910 --> 00:30:00,910 Why, bless God, they said, well, the man 480 00:30:00,910 --> 00:30:04,530 that preaches salvation by works, I never did 481 00:30:04,530 --> 00:30:08,690 deny it, unless God Almighty lays hold on 482 00:30:08,690 --> 00:30:11,750 you and fixes your soul that the one 483 00:30:11,750 --> 00:30:15,530 thing that characterizes your life is doing the 484 00:30:15,530 --> 00:30:16,390 will of God. 485 00:30:16,570 --> 00:30:18,210 You're going to split hell wide open. 486 00:30:19,650 --> 00:30:20,310 That's right. 487 00:30:22,740 --> 00:30:23,280 That's right. 488 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,460 You had to put up with that cruel 489 00:30:27,460 --> 00:30:29,020 business for years, Brother. 490 00:30:29,740 --> 00:30:31,940 I'm not talking to you about being baptized. 491 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,780 I'm not talking to you about joining the 492 00:30:34,780 --> 00:30:35,120 Church. 493 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,460 I'm just talking about being saved, as if 494 00:30:39,460 --> 00:30:41,680 there's anything in the New Testament that doesn't 495 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,100 smell like that junk. 496 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,480 We've made a joke out of what it 497 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:48,820 means to be saved. 498 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,060 It's a good thing we've invented all those 499 00:30:52,060 --> 00:30:52,560 terms. 500 00:30:52,660 --> 00:30:53,660 We'd be in a mess. 501 00:30:54,260 --> 00:30:57,960 We liable to have to repent and lean 502 00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,640 on Jesus Christ. 503 00:31:01,260 --> 00:31:06,080 Some schoolteacher in a Baptist church in the 504 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,320 South, not long ago, a twelve-year-old 505 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:14,200 boy's class, a little boy asked the teacher, 506 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:19,400 Do you think Adolf Hitler was saved, was 507 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:20,080 a Christian? 508 00:31:20,940 --> 00:31:23,620 And the teacher had been reading our books 509 00:31:23,620 --> 00:31:25,960 and listening to us preach and attending your 510 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,360 Sunday school class and listening to all your 511 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,480 terminology and believing what she'd heard, the product 512 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,180 of what passes for salvation in your day 513 00:31:35,180 --> 00:31:35,700 and mine. 514 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,920 And the teacher said, Well, son, we can 515 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:40,880 only hope. 516 00:31:41,580 --> 00:31:44,000 We know he didn't live like you ought 517 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,580 to, but we can only hope when he 518 00:31:46,580 --> 00:31:49,480 was a little boy he gave his heart 519 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:50,320 to Jesus. 520 00:31:54,100 --> 00:31:58,140 Since when was salvation believing something? 521 00:31:59,220 --> 00:32:02,560 Since when was salvation a transaction? 522 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:09,460 Since when was salvation something more than believing, 523 00:32:10,300 --> 00:32:12,680 something more than a transaction? 524 00:32:13,580 --> 00:32:17,640 Since when was salvation anything short of a 525 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:22,300 new birth, not into a peculiar feeling, but 526 00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:27,160 a new birth into a new way of 527 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:36,780 life wherein one surrenders oneself utterly to 528 00:32:36,780 --> 00:32:42,160 be an instrument of God Almighty's eternal redemptive 529 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:42,720 purpose? 530 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,260 That's salvation. 531 00:32:49,030 --> 00:32:55,700 What does it mean to be laid hold 532 00:32:55,700 --> 00:33:00,910 of by Almighty God, have the will of 533 00:33:00,910 --> 00:33:04,310 God made known to you and made central 534 00:33:04,310 --> 00:33:09,260 in your life, living that life in the 535 00:33:09,260 --> 00:33:11,800 will of God, doing the will of God, 536 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:21,440 always looking at the growth of the one 537 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:26,640 whom by faith is more real to you 538 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,560 than mother or father or brother or sister, 539 00:33:31,470 --> 00:33:39,090 always listening to the voice of his mouth? 540 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,460 Wouldn't it be wonderful if we put back 541 00:33:44,460 --> 00:33:48,480 in the hands of King Jesus the only 542 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:53,890 map he's got to direct our lives? 543 00:33:58,740 --> 00:34:01,140 What does it mean to be saved? 544 00:34:02,620 --> 00:34:05,180 Surely it means three things. 545 00:34:06,660 --> 00:34:12,719 That faith which is the response of men, 546 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:19,360 that faith that cannot do anything except receive, 547 00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:25,699 that faith that recognizes it can make no 548 00:34:25,699 --> 00:34:31,420 contribution, it can only be a candidate for 549 00:34:31,420 --> 00:34:31,960 blessing. 550 00:34:33,830 --> 00:34:39,350 That faith of the beggar catching forth his 551 00:34:39,350 --> 00:34:47,830 arms and hands for offering prayer, saving faith, 552 00:34:49,469 --> 00:34:52,010 has got to mean at least three things. 553 00:34:52,650 --> 00:34:56,190 It has got to mean the response of 554 00:34:56,190 --> 00:35:01,870 the whole man to the Lord God when 555 00:35:01,870 --> 00:35:02,450 he calls. 556 00:35:04,070 --> 00:35:06,990 I'm not going to dwell on this, but 557 00:35:06,990 --> 00:35:09,610 God only knows how much hell has been 558 00:35:09,610 --> 00:35:12,490 caused and how many souls have been damned, 559 00:35:12,610 --> 00:35:15,590 shouting hallelujah just two feet before they got 560 00:35:15,590 --> 00:35:18,570 there, depending on this little stuff they call 561 00:35:18,570 --> 00:35:20,930 the salvation of the soul today. 562 00:35:22,790 --> 00:35:25,550 Thank the Lord for saving my soul! 563 00:35:26,060 --> 00:35:30,190 But the Lord don't save your soul, he 564 00:35:30,190 --> 00:35:31,310 saves you! 565 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,200 I'm well aware of the fact that something 566 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,700 in the Bible about man is a soul. 567 00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:45,940 I don't know where on God's earth they 568 00:35:45,940 --> 00:35:48,200 got this business about him having a soul. 569 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,180 He is a soul. 570 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:56,740 God breathed his breath into Adam and he 571 00:35:56,740 --> 00:35:59,300 became a living soul! 572 00:36:00,620 --> 00:36:03,620 He lives in a body and he's got 573 00:36:03,620 --> 00:36:04,360 a spirit! 574 00:36:05,900 --> 00:36:13,460 Jesus Christ came down here not to save 575 00:36:13,460 --> 00:36:17,520 some phantom that's floating around that will enable 576 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,960 us to call ourselves Christians when it hadn't 577 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,520 affected us by this spirit and the whole 578 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,560 shootin' match, and when we haven't responded to 579 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,560 his call by the giving not of something 580 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,880 we call a soul, but the giving of 581 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:36,800 ourselves. 582 00:36:40,770 --> 00:36:47,090 Nothing less than this total re-creation of 583 00:36:47,090 --> 00:36:50,710 a hornet with something floating around in him 584 00:36:51,170 --> 00:36:52,990 will pass for conversion. 585 00:36:54,530 --> 00:36:56,970 And to have confidence in anything else, I 586 00:36:56,970 --> 00:37:00,310 don't care how ancient it is and how 587 00:37:00,310 --> 00:37:05,450 prized by conviction the religion it is, it's 588 00:37:05,450 --> 00:37:06,690 to delude oneself. 589 00:37:08,130 --> 00:37:10,430 I wish I knew how and you how 590 00:37:10,430 --> 00:37:12,650 to get what I'm trying to say. 591 00:37:13,490 --> 00:37:20,270 You see, salvation has utterly been divorced from 592 00:37:20,270 --> 00:37:28,050 practical living now, because there's nothing saved about 593 00:37:28,050 --> 00:37:30,470 you, brother Tanner, but something floating around in 594 00:37:30,470 --> 00:37:32,630 the effect of that old body of yours 595 00:37:32,630 --> 00:37:38,750 and that mind of yours, and you, you, 596 00:37:40,090 --> 00:37:48,230 it's the commitment of oneself to Jesus. 597 00:37:51,180 --> 00:37:51,720 You! 598 00:37:54,830 --> 00:37:57,610 Why, my soul, because we haven't preached that, 599 00:37:58,690 --> 00:38:02,310 we've got this vile body heresy, and out 600 00:38:02,310 --> 00:38:05,890 of the vile, vile body heresy has come 601 00:38:05,890 --> 00:38:08,110 this situation ethics now. 602 00:38:09,010 --> 00:38:11,790 And when had this situation ethics had been 603 00:38:11,790 --> 00:38:13,670 for us fundamental Bible teachers? 604 00:38:14,850 --> 00:38:21,490 Because we've separated salvation from any relationship to 605 00:38:21,490 --> 00:38:24,350 this old hope that I live in, and 606 00:38:24,350 --> 00:38:26,570 there ain't nothing wrong with this flesh. 607 00:38:29,410 --> 00:38:32,170 This flesh of mine is not vile. 608 00:38:34,570 --> 00:38:38,870 It ain't that old nature of mine vile, 609 00:38:39,570 --> 00:38:42,010 but there isn't anything vile about this body, 610 00:38:42,110 --> 00:38:45,090 and when we've lost that by separation, we 611 00:38:45,090 --> 00:38:48,790 open the gate for what's happening now. 612 00:38:54,410 --> 00:39:01,540 Hear me, saving faith is the response to 613 00:39:01,540 --> 00:39:04,520 the all-out givenness of Jesus Christ. 614 00:39:12,150 --> 00:39:17,410 That little took on me because I'll give 615 00:39:17,410 --> 00:39:21,610 Jesus anything on God's earth he asks for, 616 00:39:21,690 --> 00:39:22,610 except myself. 617 00:39:26,660 --> 00:39:29,100 I'll quit chewing tobacco and drinking liquor and 618 00:39:29,100 --> 00:39:36,700 quitting adultery and cussing and anything, but I'm 619 00:39:36,700 --> 00:39:40,200 not going to relinquish myself. 620 00:39:42,900 --> 00:39:44,420 If I had the money, I'd give you 621 00:39:44,420 --> 00:39:46,540 a million dollars to help build your school 622 00:39:46,540 --> 00:39:51,840 here, but I'm not going to dethrone myself. 623 00:40:01,110 --> 00:40:03,850 And all the days of your life and 624 00:40:03,850 --> 00:40:11,270 mine, salvation has been divorced from the utter 625 00:40:11,270 --> 00:40:17,070 dethronement of S-E-L-L-self. 626 00:40:23,310 --> 00:40:25,870 That's the reason I'm glad God never let 627 00:40:25,870 --> 00:40:29,290 me be a pastor, having to fool the 628 00:40:29,290 --> 00:40:32,850 bellyaches of unsaved Church members who are still 629 00:40:32,850 --> 00:40:36,750 sitting on the throne where God says nobody 630 00:40:36,750 --> 00:40:39,250 is to sit except Jesus Christ. 631 00:40:46,720 --> 00:40:53,200 Glory upon glory, grace upon grace, mercy upon 632 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:53,680 mercy. 633 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:59,780 God turned his back on his Son, laid 634 00:40:59,780 --> 00:41:02,960 the lash of his holy wrath upon him, 635 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:08,740 to buy Rothbard what on God's earth he 636 00:41:08,740 --> 00:41:09,460 wanted with me. 637 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,320 I'll never know what he wanted all of 638 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:12,500 me. 639 00:41:16,730 --> 00:41:18,270 And that's what salvation is. 640 00:41:21,670 --> 00:41:23,350 What does it mean to be saved? 641 00:41:24,450 --> 00:41:30,210 It certainly means that Rothbard is granted the 642 00:41:30,210 --> 00:41:33,350 ability, if you can do it, but I 643 00:41:33,350 --> 00:41:38,170 hope you will, greatest privilege and greatest miracle 644 00:41:38,170 --> 00:41:41,730 that could ever happen to Rothbard would be 645 00:41:41,730 --> 00:41:46,190 to have the ability to take the crown 646 00:41:46,190 --> 00:41:48,550 of the universe off of my head and 647 00:41:48,550 --> 00:41:50,790 put it on the head of Jesus Christ, 648 00:41:51,510 --> 00:41:57,630 in order to surrender myself to the will 649 00:41:57,630 --> 00:41:59,810 of God in Christ. 650 00:41:59,930 --> 00:42:01,410 That's what sovereignty is. 651 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:13,160 It is salvation that leaves you still deciding 652 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,900 what you'll do is whether to die. 653 00:42:19,190 --> 00:42:24,510 In the act, the crisis of conversion, this 654 00:42:24,510 --> 00:42:26,810 business has to be settled. 655 00:42:26,990 --> 00:42:29,370 If it's not settled, then it'll never be 656 00:42:29,370 --> 00:42:32,570 settled by taking sooth and surf afterwards. 657 00:42:33,930 --> 00:42:39,770 Got to make you a willing captive and 658 00:42:39,770 --> 00:42:42,070 slave of the Lord. 659 00:42:46,090 --> 00:42:48,900 I know this has been minimized, the dear 660 00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:51,680 preacher, if I call his name, some of 661 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,780 the folks here tonight that I met this 662 00:42:53,780 --> 00:42:55,960 summer would recognize him. 663 00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,160 He said to me the other day, Brother 664 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,200 Barnes, send me some books and send me 665 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:01,980 some tapes. 666 00:43:03,220 --> 00:43:08,100 He said, I know that God is God. 667 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,100 He said, it rings true in here. 668 00:43:12,180 --> 00:43:14,920 I know God's sovereign, that just means that 669 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:16,860 he's God, not a pretender. 670 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,360 But he said, the preachers have all warned 671 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,440 me not to touch it, that it'd ruin 672 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:22,740 me. 673 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,460 Well, the lack of it's ruined what we 674 00:43:34,460 --> 00:43:36,460 call Christianity today. 675 00:43:40,410 --> 00:43:43,110 And I know we've minimized this. 676 00:43:46,810 --> 00:43:56,730 And yet, absolute, total surrender to the 677 00:43:56,730 --> 00:44:00,990 rule of Christ, the will of God, they're 678 00:44:00,990 --> 00:44:02,210 the same thing. 679 00:44:03,890 --> 00:44:10,150 Anything short of that is not saving faith. 680 00:44:12,790 --> 00:44:15,450 A thinker today says, those who seek to 681 00:44:15,450 --> 00:44:23,150 eliminate this frickin' element of absolute claim would 682 00:44:23,150 --> 00:44:26,730 thus eliminate that which more than anything else 683 00:44:27,390 --> 00:44:32,610 throws into sharpest relief the distinctive essence of 684 00:44:32,610 --> 00:44:36,370 the living touch of God upon the human 685 00:44:36,370 --> 00:44:37,090 spirit. 686 00:44:38,330 --> 00:44:40,170 Ladies and gentlemen, you don't care what it 687 00:44:40,170 --> 00:44:41,250 means to be saved. 688 00:44:41,930 --> 00:44:44,510 It means it puts you to the place 689 00:44:44,510 --> 00:44:46,690 where you do not have the luxury of 690 00:44:46,690 --> 00:44:48,390 following your own desires. 691 00:44:50,970 --> 00:44:54,630 You do not have the luxury of doing 692 00:44:54,630 --> 00:44:55,590 as you please. 693 00:44:56,250 --> 00:45:03,150 You've just got one thing, Lord, what will 694 00:45:03,150 --> 00:45:06,930 thou have me to do? 695 00:45:14,210 --> 00:45:19,870 It's just one cry of a Christian. 696 00:45:21,310 --> 00:45:24,450 Now, to get saved doesn't mean that you'll 697 00:45:24,450 --> 00:45:28,170 be perfect, but it does mean that you're 698 00:45:28,170 --> 00:45:30,930 perfectly committed to one thing. 699 00:45:32,370 --> 00:45:35,450 It doesn't mean that you walk a perfect 700 00:45:35,450 --> 00:45:41,190 road, but you walk the perfect road imperfectly. 701 00:45:41,490 --> 00:45:45,850 But it does mean, hear me now, for 702 00:45:45,850 --> 00:45:50,430 anybody to claim to be a Christian who 703 00:45:50,430 --> 00:45:54,270 could sleep five seconds or eat one meal 704 00:45:54,270 --> 00:45:55,130 a day, that is to say, to be 705 00:45:55,130 --> 00:45:55,230 saved, is to be holy. 706 00:45:55,270 --> 00:45:57,950 When he's not conscious that he's not in 707 00:45:57,950 --> 00:46:00,490 the will of God, that's sin. 708 00:46:05,470 --> 00:46:08,070 I can't preach perfectly, but I can preach. 709 00:46:09,210 --> 00:46:12,190 I can't live a perfectly holy life, but 710 00:46:12,190 --> 00:46:13,570 I can live a holy life. 711 00:46:15,390 --> 00:46:19,850 God says I must do some things, but 712 00:46:19,850 --> 00:46:23,910 the only thing in the Bible God says 713 00:46:23,910 --> 00:46:27,510 I must be is holy. 714 00:46:32,370 --> 00:46:34,610 I must do gracious things. 715 00:46:37,100 --> 00:46:40,700 He doesn't ask me to be gracious or 716 00:46:40,700 --> 00:46:47,940 be loving, he just tells me to be 717 00:46:47,940 --> 00:46:48,980 holy. 718 00:46:51,450 --> 00:47:01,130 And holiness is conformity willingly to the 719 00:47:01,130 --> 00:47:02,750 will of God. 720 00:47:07,050 --> 00:47:09,710 That'll cure you of the bellyache if you 721 00:47:09,710 --> 00:47:12,490 ever get saved, and does just one thing 722 00:47:12,490 --> 00:47:13,790 count with you? 723 00:47:14,790 --> 00:47:16,390 What's the will of God? 724 00:47:21,270 --> 00:47:24,630 That'll keep you meddling in somebody else's business, 725 00:47:24,890 --> 00:47:25,050 honey. 726 00:47:26,070 --> 00:47:27,310 Keep you busy. 727 00:47:31,610 --> 00:47:34,410 Why, Brother Barnes, you preach in Christian perfection, 728 00:47:34,990 --> 00:47:36,090 so does the Bible. 729 00:47:38,460 --> 00:47:40,860 You're either headed in that direction or you're 730 00:47:40,860 --> 00:47:41,900 headed for hell. 731 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,500 God's not going to be satisfied with anything 732 00:47:47,500 --> 00:47:51,960 less, and nobody's going to walk the streets 733 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,640 of glory that isn't utterly conformed to the 734 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:57,240 image of Jesus Christ. 735 00:48:02,670 --> 00:48:05,370 God says for you to be holy, how 736 00:48:05,370 --> 00:48:05,790 holy? 737 00:48:08,190 --> 00:48:10,390 Even as I am holy. 738 00:48:12,700 --> 00:48:16,940 A fundamental expression of the Christian life is 739 00:48:16,940 --> 00:48:21,160 doing the will of God on earth, regardless 740 00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:22,220 of the cost. 741 00:48:24,390 --> 00:48:27,150 Then there's submission to the sovereign rule of 742 00:48:27,150 --> 00:48:32,150 God in Christ, must be present in a 743 00:48:32,150 --> 00:48:35,010 saving relationship with Christ. 744 00:48:35,770 --> 00:48:38,530 Now, if I believed this, I could understand 745 00:48:38,530 --> 00:48:42,230 how come I spend most of my time 746 00:48:42,230 --> 00:48:46,610 crying when I'm alone, talking to God about 747 00:48:46,610 --> 00:48:47,290 my sins. 748 00:48:48,130 --> 00:48:49,590 Of course, if I had this nice little 749 00:48:49,590 --> 00:48:54,350 salvation that the will of God's optional, and 750 00:48:54,350 --> 00:48:58,410 holiness is optional, I don't think I'd ever 751 00:48:58,410 --> 00:48:59,050 have to do that. 752 00:48:59,230 --> 00:49:00,850 I'm just like you are, brother. 753 00:49:05,190 --> 00:49:09,230 Oh, my soul, when I see what it 754 00:49:09,230 --> 00:49:13,490 actually means to claim to be a Christian, 755 00:49:15,190 --> 00:49:18,530 I had a crisis experience, and my will 756 00:49:18,530 --> 00:49:24,390 was broken, my evil heart was subdued, and 757 00:49:24,390 --> 00:49:26,550 it left me a willing captive. 758 00:49:27,750 --> 00:49:31,990 So where I've come from, I'm not alone. 759 00:49:32,830 --> 00:49:35,570 I'm not alone. 760 00:49:36,570 --> 00:49:37,490 I'm not alone. 761 00:49:41,610 --> 00:49:44,910 I'm not alone. 762 00:49:44,910 --> 00:49:46,070 I'm not alone. 763 00:49:46,830 --> 00:49:54,150 I'm not alone. 764 00:49:54,230 --> 00:49:58,030 I'm not alone. 765 00:49:58,630 --> 00:49:58,970 I'm not alone. 766 00:49:58,970 --> 00:49:59,250 I'm not alone. 767 00:49:59,250 --> 00:49:59,350 I'm not alone. 768 00:49:59,350 --> 00:49:59,450 I'm not alone. 769 00:49:59,450 --> 00:49:59,550 I'm not alone. 770 00:49:59,550 --> 00:49:59,650 I'm not alone. 771 00:49:59,650 --> 00:49:59,750 I'm not alone. 772 00:49:59,750 --> 00:49:59,850 I'm not alone. 773 00:49:59,850 --> 00:49:59,950 I'm not alone. 774 00:49:59,950 --> 00:50:00,050 I'm not alone. 775 00:50:00,050 --> 00:50:00,150 I'm not alone. 776 00:50:00,150 --> 00:50:00,250 I'm not alone. 777 00:50:00,250 --> 00:50:00,350 I'm not alone. 778 00:50:00,350 --> 00:50:00,450 I'm not alone. 779 00:50:00,450 --> 00:50:00,550 I'm not alone. 780 00:50:00,550 --> 00:50:00,650 I'm not alone. 781 00:50:00,650 --> 00:50:00,750 I'm not alone. 782 00:50:00,750 --> 00:50:00,850 I'm not alone. 783 00:50:00,850 --> 00:50:00,950 I'm not alone. 784 00:50:00,950 --> 00:50:01,050 I'm not alone. 785 00:50:01,050 --> 00:50:01,150 I'm not alone. 786 00:50:01,150 --> 00:50:01,250 I'm not alone. 787 00:50:01,250 --> 00:50:01,350 I'm not alone. 788 00:50:01,350 --> 00:50:01,450 I'm not alone. 789 00:50:01,450 --> 00:50:01,550 I'm not alone. 790 00:50:01,550 --> 00:50:01,650 I'm not alone. 791 00:50:01,650 --> 00:50:01,750 I'm not alone. 792 00:50:01,750 --> 00:50:01,850 I'm not alone. 793 00:50:01,850 --> 00:50:01,950 I'm not alone. 794 00:50:01,950 --> 00:50:02,050 I'm not alone. 795 00:50:02,050 --> 00:50:02,150 I'm not alone. 796 00:50:02,150 --> 00:50:02,250 I'm not alone. 797 00:50:02,250 --> 00:50:02,350 I'm not alone. 798 00:50:02,350 --> 00:50:02,450 I'm not alone. 799 00:50:02,450 --> 00:50:02,550 I'm not alone. 800 00:50:02,550 --> 00:50:02,650 I'm not alone. 801 00:50:02,650 --> 00:50:02,750 I'm not alone. 802 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,440 I'm not alone. 803 00:50:09,380 --> 00:50:11,680 I'm not alone. 804 00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,060 I'm not alone. 805 00:50:21,790 --> 00:50:23,290 I'm not alone. 806 00:50:24,750 --> 00:50:25,790 I'm not alone. 807 00:50:26,270 --> 00:50:27,990 I'm not alone. 808 00:50:29,070 --> 00:50:29,230 I'm not alone. 809 00:50:29,230 --> 00:50:29,330 I'm not alone. 810 00:50:29,330 --> 00:50:29,430 I'm not alone. 811 00:50:29,430 --> 00:50:29,530 I'm not alone. 812 00:50:29,530 --> 00:50:29,630 I'm not alone. 813 00:50:29,630 --> 00:50:29,730 I'm I'm not alone. 814 00:50:29,730 --> 00:50:29,830 I'm not alone. 815 00:50:29,830 --> 00:50:29,930 I'm not alone. 816 00:50:29,930 --> 00:50:30,030 I'm not alone. 817 00:50:30,030 --> 00:50:30,130 I'm not alone. 818 00:50:30,130 --> 00:50:32,370 I'm not alone. 819 00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:01,640 I'm not alone. 820 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:05,740 I'm not alone. 821 00:51:05,740 --> 00:51:05,840 I'm not alone. 822 00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:05,940 I'm not alone. 823 00:51:05,940 --> 00:51:06,040 I'm not alone. 824 00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:06,140 I'm not alone. 825 00:51:06,140 --> 00:51:10,060 You know nothing about salvation. 826 00:51:12,470 --> 00:51:14,090 What does it mean to be saved? 827 00:51:15,810 --> 00:51:19,990 It means the response of Ralph Barnett, dethroning 828 00:51:19,990 --> 00:51:29,600 myself, the enthronement of Christ. 829 00:51:31,060 --> 00:51:33,860 How can I enthrone Christ but doing his 830 00:51:33,860 --> 00:51:37,420 will, utter surrender? 831 00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:44,340 And it means, in the last place, to 832 00:51:44,340 --> 00:51:53,660 respond to Christ's giving of himself by surrendering 833 00:51:56,180 --> 00:52:01,380 to be his instrument in his redemptive purpose. 834 00:52:04,430 --> 00:52:09,940 Now, I got messed up here and preached 835 00:52:09,940 --> 00:52:11,440 too long to you, but I ain't going 836 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:12,660 to let you go for another minute. 837 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:13,400 Listen to me. 838 00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:16,880 I'm 64 years old. 839 00:52:18,570 --> 00:52:20,550 I'm not as old as I hoped to 840 00:52:20,550 --> 00:52:21,710 be, but I'm not as young as I 841 00:52:21,710 --> 00:52:22,430 used to be. 842 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:28,700 For 36-and-a-half years of my 843 00:52:28,700 --> 00:52:31,040 42 years as a minister, I've been hitchhiking 844 00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:32,660 from one place to another. 845 00:52:35,490 --> 00:52:40,590 I'm just going to share the deepest heartbreak 846 00:52:40,590 --> 00:52:42,910 of my poor little ministry. 847 00:52:43,770 --> 00:52:46,150 How in the name of God, Brother Jackson, 848 00:52:47,370 --> 00:52:50,930 did we get off the track somewhere and 849 00:52:50,930 --> 00:52:55,250 preach a nice little gospel that enabled men 850 00:52:55,250 --> 00:52:59,690 and women to say, I'm saved, when they're 851 00:52:59,690 --> 00:53:07,730 not from that hour on, knee-deep in 852 00:53:07,730 --> 00:53:11,390 the business of saving sinners? 853 00:53:20,020 --> 00:53:23,340 We just, well, face it, we've come to 854 00:53:23,340 --> 00:53:26,060 a day now when in the pulpit and 855 00:53:26,060 --> 00:53:28,040 the pew, you and me put together, we 856 00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,700 don't give a hoot whether anybody gets saved 857 00:53:31,700 --> 00:53:34,080 or not, as long as we live like 858 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:34,520 hearts. 859 00:53:37,570 --> 00:53:41,950 We are disgraced in anything that smells like 860 00:53:41,950 --> 00:53:49,990 being a captive of the one that God 861 00:53:49,990 --> 00:53:54,730 ransacked heaven and emptied to come down here, 862 00:53:54,830 --> 00:53:56,930 though he is rich and become poor. 863 00:54:00,930 --> 00:54:04,550 Where on God's earth did we get off 864 00:54:04,550 --> 00:54:09,270 the mark of speaking peace to our juniors 865 00:54:09,270 --> 00:54:12,470 and intermediates, where they can't even sit through 866 00:54:12,470 --> 00:54:14,490 a service at you and bubble them a 867 00:54:14,490 --> 00:54:15,250 right nose? 868 00:54:16,070 --> 00:54:17,810 There's nothing but salvation. 869 00:54:19,370 --> 00:54:22,290 Where did we get off the track of 870 00:54:22,290 --> 00:54:24,750 raising up this generation of you men and 871 00:54:24,750 --> 00:54:27,150 women, and you haven't wept over a sentence 872 00:54:27,150 --> 00:54:28,630 in so long you can't recall? 873 00:54:30,510 --> 00:54:35,030 You don't know what it is to be 874 00:54:35,030 --> 00:54:39,730 a saved person, because a saved person is 875 00:54:39,730 --> 00:54:46,030 a commissioned person, as my Father has sent 876 00:54:46,030 --> 00:54:59,450 me, even so sent me. 877 00:54:59,650 --> 00:55:02,170 Why all the days of my life, only 878 00:55:02,170 --> 00:55:04,610 the folks that have got a special call 879 00:55:04,610 --> 00:55:06,150 are supposed to be Christians? 880 00:55:07,970 --> 00:55:08,870 Isn't that awful? 881 00:55:12,740 --> 00:55:15,080 We've got to face it, folks. 882 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,920 Folks come to me sometimes and say, Thank 883 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:21,940 you, Brother Barnard, for saving me. 884 00:55:22,940 --> 00:55:23,960 Well, I did. 885 00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,600 If I'm a Christian, I'm a Savior. 886 00:55:30,730 --> 00:55:33,150 Who made me a Savior, the Lord? 887 00:55:34,630 --> 00:55:35,750 When did he do it? 888 00:55:35,850 --> 00:55:38,970 In John 20, he came and breathed on 889 00:55:38,970 --> 00:55:44,610 his people the Holy Spirit and commissioned us. 890 00:55:45,980 --> 00:55:48,700 He said, Now, Brother Coots, I want you 891 00:55:48,700 --> 00:55:50,660 to do the same thing I'm doing. 892 00:55:52,620 --> 00:55:54,780 He said, The Father sent me down here 893 00:55:54,780 --> 00:56:01,930 to represent him, and I'm sending you to 894 00:56:01,930 --> 00:56:02,770 represent me. 895 00:56:05,490 --> 00:56:08,030 And we've got to be God for some 896 00:56:08,030 --> 00:56:19,560 poor old sinner, with 897 00:56:22,660 --> 00:56:29,660 a world on fire, with your next-door 898 00:56:29,660 --> 00:56:35,690 neighbor that you can't even talk to, with 899 00:56:35,690 --> 00:56:37,890 your children that don't hear a word you 900 00:56:37,890 --> 00:56:38,330 say. 901 00:56:41,780 --> 00:56:47,180 Oh, God, help us to take down our 902 00:56:47,180 --> 00:56:56,590 sin and surrender ourselves to him. 903 00:56:56,590 --> 00:57:03,350 And you can't surrender to him without surrendering 904 00:57:03,350 --> 00:57:13,330 to his redemptive program, to be 905 00:57:13,330 --> 00:57:14,350 a Savior. 906 00:57:16,970 --> 00:57:23,520 As my Father has sent me, I'm sending 907 00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:24,000 you. 908 00:57:30,690 --> 00:57:32,570 This is what it means to be saved. 909 00:57:36,510 --> 00:57:40,350 We curse out the Methodists for baptizing infants, 910 00:57:40,990 --> 00:57:43,750 and we're just as bad. 911 00:57:46,150 --> 00:57:52,590 We're baptizing folks who haven't the slightest conception 912 00:57:54,150 --> 00:58:01,710 of the fact that God Almighty, in saving 913 00:58:01,710 --> 00:58:09,310 people, buys them to possess them. 914 00:58:11,500 --> 00:58:14,680 That his last word is not, I save 915 00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:28,090 you, but I claim you are mine, you 916 00:58:28,090 --> 00:58:28,650 are mine. 917 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:36,940 Oh, if we ever get to this conception, 918 00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,440 God will have to get him some secretaries 919 00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:50,760 to listen to the prayers and watch the 920 00:58:50,760 --> 00:59:03,000 tears of us nice little church people, who 921 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:12,690 will not live another hour trying to 922 00:59:12,690 --> 00:59:21,980 be saviors apart from the anointing of the 923 00:59:21,980 --> 00:59:23,620 Holy Spirit. 924 00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:33,110 For even Christ wouldn't sit out on his 925 00:59:33,110 --> 00:59:38,590 mission until the Spirit came upon him. 926 00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:53,970 God help us. 927 00:59:53,970 --> 00:59:58,950 I was in Greensboro, North Carolina, and one 928 00:59:58,950 --> 01:00:00,970 night the pastor got up and said, We've 929 01:00:00,970 --> 01:00:04,950 got Miss So-and-So here tonight, and 930 01:00:04,950 --> 01:00:09,730 she's a missionary, and is she going to 931 01:00:09,730 --> 01:00:12,370 get up here and give us a word 932 01:00:12,370 --> 01:00:17,290 of testimony and sing a special number? 933 01:00:18,110 --> 01:00:19,350 And she did. 934 01:00:21,050 --> 01:00:25,310 And when she got through, I got up 935 01:00:25,310 --> 01:00:28,390 and I was hoping that I might get 936 01:00:28,390 --> 01:00:29,350 their attention. 937 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:38,100 And I said, It's so good to have 938 01:00:38,100 --> 01:00:39,700 a Christian here tonight. 939 01:00:45,100 --> 01:00:49,400 There's no difference between being a Christian and 940 01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:50,200 being a missionary. 941 01:01:01,730 --> 01:01:21,060 Saving faith is saying, Yeah, my Lord, that's 942 01:01:21,060 --> 01:01:21,360 it. 943 01:01:24,820 --> 01:01:25,940 Let us bow our heads. 944 01:01:40,500 --> 01:01:43,160 I wonder whether our heads bowed if you'd 945 01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:54,430 join in singing, I hear the Savior's voice, 946 01:02:52,530 --> 01:02:59,250 thrills unspeakable.
