1
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:04,360
Not with wisdom of words, lest the cross

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,380
of Christ should be made non-effective.

3
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:11,420
For the preaching of the cross is to

4
00:00:11,420 --> 00:00:13,560
them that perish foolishness.

5
00:00:14,020 --> 00:00:17,360
But unto us, which have seen you, it

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:18,700
is the power of God.

7
00:00:19,220 --> 00:00:22,420
For it is written, I will destroy the

8
00:00:22,420 --> 00:00:24,920
wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,760
the understanding of the foolish.

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,140
Where is the wise?

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,120
Where is the straggler?

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,140
Where is the disputer of this world?

13
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,580
Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of

14
00:00:39,580 --> 00:00:40,180
this world?

15
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,900
For after that, in the wisdom of God,

16
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,540
the world by wisdom knew not God.

17
00:00:49,540 --> 00:00:55,300
It pleased God by the foolish disappointing, to

18
00:00:55,300 --> 00:00:57,340
save them that believe.

19
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:03,500
For the Jews require a sign, and the

20
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:05,700
Greeks seek as to wisdom.

21
00:01:05,860 --> 00:01:13,240
But we preach Christ, having been crucified, unto

22
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,640
the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,000
Greeks foolishness.

24
00:01:21,220 --> 00:01:27,460
But unto them which are called, both Jews

25
00:01:27,460 --> 00:01:34,040
and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and

26
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,980
the wisdom of God.

27
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:46,440
Upon the truth of the cross of our

28
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:53,420
Lord Jesus Christ, the great truth of salvation

29
00:01:53,420 --> 00:01:55,780
by grace, depends.

30
00:01:58,570 --> 00:02:01,250
And while in the scriptures the death of

31
00:02:01,250 --> 00:02:05,090
Christ and the cross of Christ are never

32
00:02:05,090 --> 00:02:10,710
separated, in religion they always are.

33
00:02:14,390 --> 00:02:17,650
And I'm not speaking on the death of

34
00:02:17,650 --> 00:02:21,270
Christ tonight, I'm speaking on the cross of

35
00:02:21,270 --> 00:02:21,710
Christ.

36
00:02:24,350 --> 00:02:28,730
It is said that Mr. Sturgeon lived in

37
00:02:28,730 --> 00:02:36,840
tremendously favorable environment, and began to seek as

38
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,840
to a vital union with God and Christ.

39
00:02:42,030 --> 00:02:43,930
When he was converted at the age of

40
00:02:43,930 --> 00:02:49,410
sixteen, he'd already mastered more theology than perhaps

41
00:02:49,410 --> 00:02:52,870
any seminary today's seminary gives a student.

42
00:02:54,910 --> 00:02:58,310
Mr. Sturgeon later years said that the problem

43
00:02:58,310 --> 00:03:04,790
this sixteen-year-old boy wrestled with was

44
00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:12,150
how can a holy God deal with me?

45
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:23,190
How can a holy God deal with me?

46
00:03:28,010 --> 00:03:33,410
It reminds us of the query of the

47
00:03:33,410 --> 00:03:37,130
disciple after the Lord's encounter with the rich

48
00:03:37,130 --> 00:03:37,790
young ruler.

49
00:03:39,150 --> 00:03:41,170
And when the young man had a great

50
00:03:41,170 --> 00:03:44,130
procession and was very sorrowful and he went

51
00:03:44,130 --> 00:03:49,150
away, and the Lord watched him go away,

52
00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:56,440
and the Lord Jesus said, it's easier for

53
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,000
a camel to enter into the eye of

54
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000
an eagle than for a rich man entering

55
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,280
the kingdom of God.

56
00:04:04,620 --> 00:04:07,540
And the next question, now these men were,

57
00:04:07,940 --> 00:04:09,000
they weren't fools.

58
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,000
If you study this, let your hair stand

59
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:12,800
on your head.

60
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:21,480
Especially in this day of easy familiarity, where

61
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,600
we are so familiar with God.

62
00:04:25,830 --> 00:04:28,670
In the old days of the bewhispered patriarchs

63
00:04:28,670 --> 00:04:30,550
of our days, it would take an old

64
00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:34,410
-time Baptist about thirty minutes to properly address

65
00:04:34,410 --> 00:04:37,350
the deity when he approached him in prayer.

66
00:04:37,710 --> 00:04:42,530
Now we rush rapidly into his presence, and

67
00:04:42,530 --> 00:04:47,510
the vice of familiarity is the greatest advertising

68
00:04:47,510 --> 00:04:51,010
that this generation talks so much about God

69
00:04:51,010 --> 00:04:52,930
in Christ, know nothing of Him.

70
00:04:53,330 --> 00:04:58,930
For familiarity with God is entirely foreign to

71
00:04:58,930 --> 00:05:02,790
a soul who has once seen Him marred

72
00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:05,730
on a cross, dying for Him.

73
00:05:07,610 --> 00:05:10,110
And they didn't just ask questions about the

74
00:05:10,110 --> 00:05:11,710
difference between being a poor man and being

75
00:05:11,710 --> 00:05:14,070
a rich man, but having heard the Lord

76
00:05:14,070 --> 00:05:16,030
and watched Him deal with the rich young

77
00:05:16,030 --> 00:05:16,330
boy.

78
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,680
Now you dispensationalists, I think you've got that

79
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,840
all fixed up, so it takes all the

80
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:25,940
steam out of it.

81
00:05:26,900 --> 00:05:28,160
You know, every time you come to a

82
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,020
hard place in the scripture, there's two ways

83
00:05:31,020 --> 00:05:32,120
you can get around it.

84
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:35,480
Either it is for the Jews, or it's

85
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,520
a full penny toss.

86
00:05:40,130 --> 00:05:47,330
But these men solemnly, solemnized by watching the

87
00:05:47,330 --> 00:05:50,570
Lord Jesus Christ let an awful good prospect

88
00:05:50,570 --> 00:05:51,150
go.

89
00:05:52,170 --> 00:05:54,010
Says He left him, but He let him

90
00:05:54,010 --> 00:05:54,330
go.

91
00:05:55,290 --> 00:06:02,530
And they said, Lord, who then can be

92
00:06:02,530 --> 00:06:05,510
saved by a soul?

93
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:10,220
I wish we could preach the cross of

94
00:06:10,220 --> 00:06:16,240
Christ until a holy fall would come upon

95
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:16,700
us.

96
00:06:18,290 --> 00:06:21,170
Better run around there trying to explain how

97
00:06:21,170 --> 00:06:23,990
God's got to deal fairly with everybody and

98
00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:29,190
give everybody a chance that come upon us

99
00:06:29,190 --> 00:06:30,370
a holy hush.

100
00:06:31,910 --> 00:06:39,210
Who then can be saved?

101
00:06:44,650 --> 00:06:48,870
You know, the whole fabric of apostate Christianity

102
00:06:50,250 --> 00:06:53,170
is based upon the fact of the death

103
00:06:53,170 --> 00:06:54,270
of Jesus Christ.

104
00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:58,070
Everybody believes in the death of Christ.

105
00:07:00,970 --> 00:07:05,930
To save His death is owed by everybody.

106
00:07:06,910 --> 00:07:13,790
Muslims, Buddhists, polite Japanese who wouldn't think of

107
00:07:13,790 --> 00:07:16,490
rejecting the Jesus if you offered them to

108
00:07:16,490 --> 00:07:18,190
put Him up on the shelf for the

109
00:07:18,190 --> 00:07:19,350
rest of their gods.

110
00:07:22,130 --> 00:07:26,770
To save His death is owed as a

111
00:07:26,770 --> 00:07:30,370
part of this religious world's philosophy.

112
00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:34,910
Everybody accepts the death of Jesus.

113
00:07:37,910 --> 00:07:42,790
That which God never separates is death, and

114
00:07:42,790 --> 00:07:45,850
the cross man always separates.

115
00:07:47,570 --> 00:07:50,490
The death of Christ is a fact and

116
00:07:50,490 --> 00:07:56,310
a doctrine that human wisdom has adopted and

117
00:07:56,310 --> 00:08:00,010
rejoices in as the highest tribute to human

118
00:08:00,010 --> 00:08:00,470
worth.

119
00:08:01,070 --> 00:08:04,690
Wonderful men who've asked us to grow in

120
00:08:04,690 --> 00:08:07,450
doctrines in our so-called Christian churches, and

121
00:08:07,450 --> 00:08:11,870
they're growing in your fundamental churches, too, for

122
00:08:11,870 --> 00:08:13,390
universal salvation.

123
00:08:14,930 --> 00:08:16,630
And there is no hell.

124
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,700
Man is so wonderfully made that he's too

125
00:08:22,700 --> 00:08:23,960
precious God.

126
00:08:25,140 --> 00:08:27,360
Wouldn't waste him and send him to hell.

127
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,340
And God, strangely enough, God is sovereign.

128
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,320
See, all modernists believe in the sovereignty of

129
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:36,600
God.

130
00:08:36,980 --> 00:08:40,000
They believe that's one of Nell's three, believes

131
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,340
in the sovereignty of God.

132
00:08:41,700 --> 00:08:44,620
God's safety cannot last in being released at

133
00:08:44,620 --> 00:08:49,840
the last day except in connection with the

134
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:59,540
Christ living birth of Jesus for His that

135
00:08:59,540 --> 00:09:00,260
very day.

136
00:09:01,050 --> 00:09:05,160
And I have no contention about saying that

137
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,680
you have to go back to yesterday for

138
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:09,240
some evidence that you're a believer.

139
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:10,700
You're a day late there.

140
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,260
You're a day late.

141
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:14,780
It must be today.

142
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,880
Now, Christ, you're the secure believer, but I

143
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,160
will not preach this final step.

144
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,920
If we come close to preaching that if

145
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,540
a man professes faith in Christ, he'll wander

146
00:09:28,540 --> 00:09:30,560
far away from God, but just before he

147
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:31,580
dies, he'll come home.

148
00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:32,080
Oh, no.

149
00:09:36,170 --> 00:09:39,730
He'll take the death from the cross and

150
00:09:39,730 --> 00:09:40,570
the resurrection.

151
00:09:42,150 --> 00:09:48,550
Whosoever believeth in Him should not perish and

152
00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:49,950
have everlasting life.

153
00:09:51,610 --> 00:09:53,550
And then John 3.16 gives us the

154
00:09:53,550 --> 00:09:55,630
reason for the cross and the resurrection.

155
00:09:55,630 --> 00:09:58,830
Of course, it is true there isn't a

156
00:09:58,830 --> 00:10:02,110
word of gospel truth in John 3.16.

157
00:10:03,470 --> 00:10:06,150
Dear brother, Luther used up God more than

158
00:10:06,150 --> 00:10:07,170
all of us put together.

159
00:10:08,270 --> 00:10:10,550
He coined the phrase enough gospel in John

160
00:10:10,550 --> 00:10:12,950
3.16, saved the world, and better gospel,

161
00:10:13,170 --> 00:10:14,170
and he put it there.

162
00:10:15,330 --> 00:10:17,630
There's no blood in John 3.16. There's

163
00:10:17,630 --> 00:10:20,950
no resurrection in John 3.16. I'll tell

164
00:10:20,950 --> 00:10:21,870
you what there is.

165
00:10:22,610 --> 00:10:24,690
I read John 3.16. I'll tell you

166
00:10:24,690 --> 00:10:26,690
why Christ hung on the cross.

167
00:10:27,790 --> 00:10:30,210
I'll tell you why God raised Him from

168
00:10:30,210 --> 00:10:30,710
the dead.

169
00:10:31,790 --> 00:10:34,090
Jesus one time caught God in an ocean.

170
00:10:35,130 --> 00:10:36,390
God was in an ocean.

171
00:10:37,590 --> 00:10:38,750
And God so loved.

172
00:10:41,230 --> 00:10:42,670
God so loved.

173
00:10:43,510 --> 00:10:46,330
You tell us God is love, you know,

174
00:10:46,390 --> 00:10:47,630
it's liable to run dry.

175
00:10:48,330 --> 00:10:49,370
No, He got plenty.

176
00:10:50,950 --> 00:10:55,510
God so loved the world that He gave.

177
00:10:58,820 --> 00:10:59,200
What?

178
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,500
Love sent my Savior.

179
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:04,860
Love.

180
00:11:06,860 --> 00:11:10,540
Love took iron cross.

181
00:11:12,020 --> 00:11:13,200
Love did it.

182
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:16,080
Love did it.

183
00:11:19,070 --> 00:11:19,970
What is the gospel?

184
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,160
The preaching of the one who was on

185
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,640
a cross eternally in the heart of God.

186
00:11:30,780 --> 00:11:33,260
And in that sense will be forever there.

187
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,260
You're silly to build your doctrines of decrees

188
00:11:38,260 --> 00:11:39,120
and so forth.

189
00:11:40,460 --> 00:11:42,740
Try to handle the element of time and

190
00:11:42,740 --> 00:11:43,300
eternity.

191
00:11:47,410 --> 00:11:54,140
He was as a lamb slain from before

192
00:11:54,140 --> 00:11:56,160
the foundation of the world.

193
00:11:56,980 --> 00:11:59,440
Is that 2 million years ago or 1

194
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:00,520
,500 million?

195
00:12:00,740 --> 00:12:02,160
Isn't that silly to talk that way?

196
00:12:03,940 --> 00:12:05,360
What does it mean, Brother Barnard?

197
00:12:05,460 --> 00:12:06,480
It means awful deep.

198
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:07,380
That's what I know.

199
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,060
You're silly to work out your doctrine of

200
00:12:11,060 --> 00:12:15,440
the decree of election that way.

201
00:12:15,780 --> 00:12:19,280
He had chosen us and Him from before

202
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,740
the foundation of the world.

203
00:12:21,780 --> 00:12:22,460
When was that?

204
00:12:22,540 --> 00:12:23,880
15 million years ago?

205
00:12:24,020 --> 00:12:24,640
When was that?

206
00:12:25,860 --> 00:12:26,820
You handle that.

207
00:12:26,820 --> 00:12:28,040
You can't, can you?

208
00:12:29,180 --> 00:12:30,860
We'll walk softly there.

209
00:12:32,300 --> 00:12:38,180
But somebody said there'll be a cross in

210
00:12:38,180 --> 00:12:41,500
the heart of God forever.

211
00:12:44,870 --> 00:12:47,290
And it's because it was in His heart

212
00:12:47,290 --> 00:12:53,890
forever that in due time His Son was

213
00:12:53,890 --> 00:12:54,770
made flesh.

214
00:12:54,810 --> 00:12:55,910
He was made flesh.

215
00:12:58,260 --> 00:13:02,480
You see, I'm preaching never forget that certainty

216
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:08,220
does not make unnecessary necessity.

217
00:13:10,020 --> 00:13:15,520
The elect will repent, but they must repent.

218
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,240
In the heart of God, Jesus Christ was

219
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,780
as a lamb slain forever, but He had

220
00:13:23,780 --> 00:13:25,180
to be made into a tree.

221
00:13:27,940 --> 00:13:38,280
Oh, oh, what wondrous love He

222
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,540
so loved that He gave.

223
00:13:45,810 --> 00:13:50,110
And no man is even capable of quoting

224
00:13:50,110 --> 00:13:53,330
the next word that's so rich and wonderful.

225
00:13:54,590 --> 00:14:02,560
He so loved that He gave His all

226
00:14:05,620 --> 00:14:07,000
begotten Son.

227
00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:12,940
If God's not a bunch of clay, if

228
00:14:12,940 --> 00:14:18,020
He has no fire, what wealth is in

229
00:14:18,020 --> 00:14:18,700
that expression?

230
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:26,190
He gave His own begotten Son.

231
00:14:28,850 --> 00:14:29,850
What's the gospel?

232
00:14:31,630 --> 00:14:35,990
It's a cross and a resurrection that took

233
00:14:35,990 --> 00:14:40,370
place because God's got a heart of love.

234
00:14:41,850 --> 00:14:46,310
And the result of it, whosoever believeth in

235
00:14:46,310 --> 00:14:53,250
Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.

236
00:14:54,770 --> 00:14:56,350
Now I ask you to bear with me

237
00:14:56,350 --> 00:14:59,070
tonight as I say another thing.

238
00:15:00,170 --> 00:15:03,730
I want to consider with you credentials of

239
00:15:03,730 --> 00:15:04,750
gospel faith.

240
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,340
Bible credentials of gospel preaching.

241
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,360
There are three mentioned in our scripture tonight.

242
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,180
Any presentation of what you call the gospel

243
00:15:21,140 --> 00:15:26,100
that doesn't do three things isn't the gospel.

244
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,000
Not the gospel of the cross.

245
00:15:31,700 --> 00:15:34,580
Not simply the death of Jesus, but who

246
00:15:34,580 --> 00:15:39,320
died there, and why He died there.

247
00:15:39,380 --> 00:15:41,520
That's what makes up the difference between the

248
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,800
death of Jesus, lived by belief, and the

249
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:45,820
cross of Christ.

250
00:15:48,220 --> 00:15:49,920
May I ask you this question?

251
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,220
You mean to sit down and tell me

252
00:15:54,260 --> 00:16:02,960
that you actually believe that God made Himself,

253
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,480
made this man himself, by being born as

254
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,120
a baby in a castle, but that's just

255
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,140
not coming out of the rain.

256
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,840
He knows that's no way for God to

257
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:12,060
do.

258
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,800
And as long as you get your little

259
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,000
theories in your systems and try to make

260
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:27,330
the gospel so simple, where is the mystery

261
00:16:27,330 --> 00:16:28,130
of God?

262
00:16:30,460 --> 00:16:33,200
Let us not attempt to understand it let

263
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,620
us simply proclaim it.

264
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:40,360
God was manifest in the flesh.

265
00:16:41,020 --> 00:16:41,960
God, Lord.

266
00:16:44,020 --> 00:16:47,500
God was manifest in the flesh.

267
00:16:49,630 --> 00:16:51,010
Great is the mystery.

268
00:16:52,370 --> 00:16:52,770
Great.

269
00:16:54,690 --> 00:17:04,670
And the gospel is Jesus God manifest in

270
00:17:04,670 --> 00:17:05,310
the flesh.

271
00:17:06,310 --> 00:17:12,869
Let us preach to them on that cross

272
00:17:13,950 --> 00:17:16,010
and now on that throne.

273
00:17:17,010 --> 00:17:19,290
Not theorize about it.

274
00:17:20,670 --> 00:17:23,589
Not worry about two and two makes four.

275
00:17:25,109 --> 00:17:29,610
Let's preach it until the righteous people curse.

276
00:17:30,630 --> 00:17:32,290
It's not very snigger.

277
00:17:33,150 --> 00:17:36,890
And them who are called find in Him

278
00:17:36,890 --> 00:17:39,670
the wisdom and the power of God.

279
00:17:41,050 --> 00:17:43,590
For the proclamation of the cross of Christ

280
00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:47,480
will cause religious people to fight.

281
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,500
Being an evangelist we always covet what we

282
00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:54,140
don't have.

283
00:17:55,060 --> 00:17:57,480
I've always wished I had a pastor's heart

284
00:17:58,580 --> 00:17:59,960
but I don't have it.

285
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,240
Sometimes it bothers me how in these words

286
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,660
you fellows preach the gospel and keep that

287
00:18:08,660 --> 00:18:11,540
gang of hell-raising religionites in your church

288
00:18:11,540 --> 00:18:12,260
in a good humor.

289
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,980
Why, the preaching of the cross is to

290
00:18:21,980 --> 00:18:23,300
a Jew a scandal.

291
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:27,660
And the Jew represents the religious man.

292
00:18:29,380 --> 00:18:31,660
Questioning himself that he is righteous.

293
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,160
The very word sinner in the New Testament

294
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,600
connotation doesn't mean what we call a sinner.

295
00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:40,120
He's just a fellow who wasn't in the

296
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:43,640
crowd of the Pharisees and Scribes.

297
00:18:43,780 --> 00:18:45,180
He wasn't a member of their congregation.

298
00:18:45,860 --> 00:18:47,320
Anybody outside was a sinner.

299
00:18:48,180 --> 00:18:48,400
Amen?

300
00:18:52,140 --> 00:18:59,180
And the richest Jew there and with his

301
00:18:59,180 --> 00:19:02,200
successor who occupied the Amen Corner and our

302
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,140
church is planted there by Satan.

303
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,580
The preaching of the cross lays the axe

304
00:19:12,580 --> 00:19:19,600
to the root of all our claims that

305
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:25,360
the difference to somebody else is offensive, it's

306
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:30,400
a scandal, it's tremendously vulgar.

307
00:19:31,180 --> 00:19:34,340
And preached in the power of the Holy

308
00:19:34,340 --> 00:19:40,020
Spirit it'll cause religious people to daze to

309
00:19:40,020 --> 00:19:43,100
get their shotguns and try to murder the

310
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:43,540
messenger.

311
00:19:44,780 --> 00:19:46,500
We heard a call at the fifth Sunday

312
00:19:46,500 --> 00:19:50,780
meeting to come out in the open and

313
00:19:50,780 --> 00:19:54,720
expose that horror, Roman Catholicism.

314
00:19:55,540 --> 00:19:57,720
If you ain't fixing to do it cause

315
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:58,700
it'll fight back.

316
00:20:02,580 --> 00:20:05,500
I'm telling you that God's truth we've watered

317
00:20:05,500 --> 00:20:09,020
down the gospel of Jesus Christ so that

318
00:20:09,020 --> 00:20:10,520
we can still preach on the radio.

319
00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:12,720
Whoever got preaching the gospel on the radio

320
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:13,920
would all get put off.

321
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,360
You can't preach anything along on the radio

322
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:19,980
that's offensive to anybody.

323
00:20:20,820 --> 00:20:22,700
And the gospel would make a religious man

324
00:20:22,700 --> 00:20:24,360
so mad he'd kill you if he could.

325
00:20:30,450 --> 00:20:32,890
The offense of the cross was that it

326
00:20:32,890 --> 00:20:37,130
set aside every clean and vanity ground.

327
00:20:39,330 --> 00:20:40,970
And he said to me, lad, you understand

328
00:20:40,970 --> 00:20:42,730
we don't need anybody to set us free.

329
00:20:42,850 --> 00:20:44,850
We'd be Abraham's children, Jesus said.

330
00:20:44,970 --> 00:20:47,070
If you was Abraham's children you'd have Abraham's

331
00:20:47,070 --> 00:20:50,070
faith and Abraham's words.

332
00:20:54,820 --> 00:20:57,920
The perverted doctrine of election, conception of the

333
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,360
doctrine of election led to the crucifixion of

334
00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:01,100
Jesus Christ.

335
00:21:02,780 --> 00:21:04,860
They said, now bless God, we've got to

336
00:21:04,860 --> 00:21:05,780
get rid of him or he's going to

337
00:21:05,780 --> 00:21:07,780
get rid of us, won't he?

338
00:21:08,380 --> 00:21:10,480
We have no need of anybody setting us

339
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:11,740
free and we'd be undone.

340
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,820
He said, no matter what my great-grandfather

341
00:21:13,820 --> 00:21:14,440
was Abraham.

342
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,100
He said, I'm not dealing after flesh I'm

343
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:20,320
dealing after the spirit.

344
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:23,600
People I call Abraham's children people got his

345
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,890
words and his faith and they killed him.

346
00:21:29,290 --> 00:21:31,310
God bless their heart, they'll kill us but

347
00:21:31,310 --> 00:21:33,010
if we ever have a baptism the Holy

348
00:21:33,010 --> 00:21:35,090
Ghost in my church and go preaching the

349
00:21:35,090 --> 00:21:36,930
gospel of God I'll let preach one sermon

350
00:21:36,930 --> 00:21:39,050
about the Holy Ghost and he'll tell them

351
00:21:39,050 --> 00:21:39,610
what happened.

352
00:21:40,670 --> 00:21:43,090
We can go pick up, get him arrested

353
00:21:43,090 --> 00:21:44,810
out of the church and that's your brain

354
00:21:44,810 --> 00:21:45,090
down.

355
00:21:48,230 --> 00:21:49,670
Oh, how relieved.

356
00:21:50,430 --> 00:21:52,610
You folks can cut out the liberalist martyrs

357
00:21:52,610 --> 00:21:54,530
I'm not worried about them I'm worried about

358
00:21:54,530 --> 00:21:56,090
us dead put them in a list of

359
00:21:56,090 --> 00:21:58,350
TV and start a religious fire because we're

360
00:21:58,350 --> 00:22:04,330
preaching the gospel that's what Pence said to

361
00:22:04,330 --> 00:22:05,390
religious people.

362
00:22:07,340 --> 00:22:11,840
The cross does not offer salvation to good

363
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,220
people one place I know they can go

364
00:22:14,220 --> 00:22:15,040
to is to hell.

365
00:22:16,120 --> 00:22:20,880
The cross offers salvation to sinners and Republicans

366
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,840
and Harlots will press in and leave the

367
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:23,760
other crowd out.

368
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,960
There's been a citywide meeting in the southern

369
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,840
city years ago and they conceived the idea

370
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,180
of having a preach to the Sunday morning

371
00:22:32,180 --> 00:22:34,140
crowd that could round it up on Saturday

372
00:22:34,140 --> 00:22:36,100
night off the streets and give them a

373
00:22:36,100 --> 00:22:38,100
night to sleep off their dope and their

374
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:40,140
drink and so forth and I got the

375
00:22:40,140 --> 00:22:42,500
counter tech and the chief of police and

376
00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:44,020
the mayor of the city to go along

377
00:22:44,020 --> 00:22:45,660
with me and I said you sit with

378
00:22:45,660 --> 00:22:48,120
the other criminals and I'll preach the same

379
00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:49,600
gospel to them all.

380
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,720
And I said in this matter of the

381
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,340
cross it cuts the root from everything.

382
00:22:57,300 --> 00:23:01,180
Jew and Gentile rich or poor poor or

383
00:23:01,180 --> 00:23:04,100
slave everybody kneels at the cross or goes

384
00:23:04,100 --> 00:23:04,620
to hell.

385
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,420
The offense of the cross and then gospel

386
00:23:08,420 --> 00:23:11,680
preaching will be foolish to the wise.

387
00:23:12,300 --> 00:23:15,640
Ladies and gentlemen there is Satan's master God

388
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,660
it's the stroke that he's knocked them home

389
00:23:18,660 --> 00:23:19,080
on with.

390
00:23:19,180 --> 00:23:21,680
Listen to me the death of Christ is

391
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:22,340
accepted.

392
00:23:22,740 --> 00:23:25,940
None but an infidel will question it but

393
00:23:25,940 --> 00:23:30,200
inquire in what way and the wise states

394
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,940
say oh you're being treated badly there.

395
00:23:33,860 --> 00:23:35,800
And at once the harmony is broken and

396
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,180
formed as every school has its creed and

397
00:23:38,180 --> 00:23:40,980
every is of its theorist and the theme

398
00:23:40,980 --> 00:23:43,800
is a signal for a scramble and a

399
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,360
struggle between all the rival groups of so

400
00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:48,420
-called Christendom.

401
00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:52,920
For that which God intended should be an

402
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,780
impossibility to the natural mind Satan has made

403
00:23:57,780 --> 00:23:59,860
the common creed of man.

404
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,160
And though the very biggest sinners in your

405
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,840
community have heard you preach enough they'll look

406
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,320
you in the face and tell you they

407
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,740
grieve that Jesus died for them.

408
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:11,580
They will.

409
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:20,200
My friends he who shall not actually believe

410
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:26,240
that Jesus is the Son of God is

411
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,820
a man of a God-given supernatural faith

412
00:24:29,820 --> 00:24:32,200
it's a faith that overcomes the world.

413
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,580
In 1 John 5 in Mark whosoever believeth

414
00:24:37,580 --> 00:24:42,260
that Jesus that's the name of this humiliation

415
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:50,060
whosoever believeth so that that Jesus that little

416
00:24:50,060 --> 00:24:52,200
fellow was born over there in Cal State

417
00:24:52,780 --> 00:24:55,280
and lived in Nazareth no good thing ever

418
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,340
came out of Nazareth and nobody was there

419
00:24:58,340 --> 00:24:59,860
nobody ever had anything to do and the

420
00:24:59,860 --> 00:25:01,620
nice people looked him over and said he'll

421
00:25:01,620 --> 00:25:04,200
never do just a bunch of harlots and

422
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,360
public and tax collectors and a few poor

423
00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:09,640
fish and they followed him around and he

424
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,280
got what was coming to him they took

425
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,460
him outside the holy city while they were

426
00:25:13,460 --> 00:25:16,400
observing the Passover feast and nailed him on

427
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,640
a tree between two trees and he didn't

428
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,140
even have a grave had somebody else's grave

429
00:25:24,140 --> 00:25:27,360
put him in didn't have any spices or

430
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:29,440
perfume but the perfume that bought him the

431
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,860
bar shunned him and he didn't even have

432
00:25:32,860 --> 00:25:35,140
any clothing the rest of his body was

433
00:25:35,140 --> 00:25:40,620
shrouded and they put him down in that

434
00:25:40,620 --> 00:25:43,600
grave and set the Roman seal on it

435
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,220
and put some soldiers to watch and ladies

436
00:25:47,220 --> 00:25:52,160
and gentlemen at the last this world ever

437
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,760
heard of Jesus nobody's ever seen him since

438
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:02,520
except men and women who've been born from

439
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:07,290
the dead the evidence of the new birth

440
00:26:07,290 --> 00:26:11,290
is that you have to believe that Jesus

441
00:26:12,510 --> 00:26:20,320
is the son of the living God that

442
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:27,570
is absolutely impossible to the natural mind that

443
00:26:27,570 --> 00:26:31,210
Satan has pulled a trick and everybody swears

444
00:26:31,210 --> 00:26:34,970
on a stack of Bibles now he believes

445
00:26:34,970 --> 00:26:38,230
I say to you with this authority I

446
00:26:38,230 --> 00:26:41,730
know him right here if you ever find

447
00:26:41,730 --> 00:26:47,990
out who Jesus really is you'll never be

448
00:26:47,990 --> 00:26:53,510
the same again you can't be there's just

449
00:26:53,510 --> 00:26:56,130
one question really now seems to aim this

450
00:26:56,130 --> 00:26:58,990
side of eternity who is Jesus?

451
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:01,880
who is he?

452
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:02,820
who is he?

453
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,360
liberals say he's a teacher Jews say he's

454
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:09,600
a prophet the world says he's a good

455
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,300
man whose son am I?

456
00:27:12,380 --> 00:27:13,340
what do you say about it?

457
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,000
who is Jesus?

458
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,260
like he has sought to see Jesus who

459
00:27:18,260 --> 00:27:20,620
he is man's got to see him who

460
00:27:20,620 --> 00:27:25,680
he is here to save him he was

461
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,520
manifest in the world in his wealth amongst

462
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:35,060
and we beheld his glory that's what the

463
00:27:35,060 --> 00:27:38,920
saving power could save in the days of

464
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:50,060
his flesh he who believes that he's the

465
00:27:50,060 --> 00:27:52,340
one in whom the current life could find

466
00:27:52,340 --> 00:27:57,030
no beauty when he was here and so

467
00:27:57,030 --> 00:27:59,790
in this gospel is it proclaimed the carnal

468
00:27:59,790 --> 00:28:02,930
mind can see no wonders for the devil

469
00:28:02,930 --> 00:28:06,170
has blinded their minds lest they see the

470
00:28:06,170 --> 00:28:09,370
glory of God in the face of Christ

471
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,800
I say to you that gospel preaching has

472
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,480
to be preached in the power of the

473
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,240
Holy Ghost for the Holy Ghost must hold

474
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,780
the word to reveal thereby the mighty mysteries

475
00:28:23,780 --> 00:28:27,140
and marvels of redemption not roaring with it,

476
00:28:27,140 --> 00:28:29,620
humanizing it to bring it within the reach

477
00:28:29,620 --> 00:28:31,760
of the natural man apart from the work

478
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,300
of the Holy Spirit if we really believe

479
00:28:35,300 --> 00:28:39,900
the gospel we have received a revelation from

480
00:28:39,900 --> 00:28:44,320
on high a revelation to which flesh and

481
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,860
blood can never reach no matter how hard

482
00:28:48,860 --> 00:28:52,060
it tries but the gospel may be so

483
00:28:52,060 --> 00:28:56,420
sifted and simplified that none shall fail to

484
00:28:56,420 --> 00:29:00,620
understand it therefore none shall be saved by

485
00:29:00,620 --> 00:29:03,860
it the preaching that is wanted this very

486
00:29:03,860 --> 00:29:08,520
night is not preaching the persuasive words of

487
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:13,300
man's wisdom and reasoning out salvation such statements

488
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:15,120
whether it be paid for the sins of

489
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,780
all the elect they got to be saved

490
00:29:16,780 --> 00:29:20,360
be careful, brethren you're not preaching salvation by

491
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:25,720
grace we don't need claiming that one and

492
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,400
two make three no, no, not reasoning out

493
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,500
a plan just teaching the gospel to suit

494
00:29:33,500 --> 00:29:36,960
the condition of the hearers the gospel must

495
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,460
be preached in the demonstration and power of

496
00:29:39,460 --> 00:29:43,480
the Spirit preaching that of the foolishness of

497
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,840
them that perish but unto them do of

498
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,780
the call preaching that'll have power and be

499
00:29:50,780 --> 00:29:54,600
the power and wisdom of God may I

500
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,240
close by saying to you it's one thing

501
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,460
to master Christianity it's another thing to be

502
00:30:02,460 --> 00:30:04,560
mastered by will you listen to me?

503
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:11,620
it's the cross that conquered him on that

504
00:30:11,620 --> 00:30:15,880
cross it's not an easy, this cross of

505
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,100
Christ it's not an easy way of pardon

506
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:23,720
nor is it a plan of salvation but

507
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,160
it's a fact and a revelation to change

508
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:34,220
the heartless world in doing a boring worship

509
00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:42,480
to see the unseen as real and to

510
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,560
those who believe in the cross Jesus Christ

511
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:51,840
has been openly set forth, crucified before their

512
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:58,500
eyes may we see that marred and agonized

513
00:30:58,500 --> 00:31:03,360
face may we witness to the reproach that

514
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:08,760
broke his heart the scorn, the derision the

515
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:13,120
hate of that that ended strong and oh,

516
00:31:13,780 --> 00:31:18,400
the man who's often cried when forsaken of

517
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,560
his God, my God, my God why's thou

518
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:23,720
forsaken him?

519
00:31:24,380 --> 00:31:31,040
when in gazing on him that almost being

520
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:37,540
has sustained the mighty change and power to

521
00:31:37,540 --> 00:31:42,020
divorce self from self and to separate in

522
00:31:42,020 --> 00:31:45,280
heart from a world that killed him once

523
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,860
and would again if it could get their

524
00:31:46,860 --> 00:31:50,260
hands on him for them, him hanging on

525
00:31:50,260 --> 00:31:56,040
that cross is where they find their deepest

526
00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:02,760
satisfaction and they feast on him in the

527
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,700
blood of their own justification and see not

528
00:32:06,700 --> 00:32:10,860
only a holy Lord acting at vengeance but

529
00:32:10,860 --> 00:32:16,120
the love of God sitting captive free and

530
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:20,340
they rejoice at the cross of Christ that

531
00:32:20,340 --> 00:32:24,020
is so preached the cross that many despise

532
00:32:24,020 --> 00:32:28,560
him that hung there they say it's impossible

533
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,020
that that could be the Son of God

534
00:32:31,020 --> 00:32:34,460
or that men would be broken and hard

535
00:32:34,460 --> 00:32:38,100
and we'll have some worshipers in our churches

536
00:32:38,100 --> 00:32:43,000
not some reasoners they'll hear again the cry

537
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,580
from hearts that came from Mary and John

538
00:32:45,580 --> 00:32:49,480
and them my God, was this for me?

539
00:32:50,980 --> 00:32:54,620
that he hung there and fathomed from that

540
00:32:54,620 --> 00:32:58,480
transtick look at him on the cross to

541
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:05,640
live devoted lives for him who died and

542
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:13,210
rose again that Adam was a living soul

543
00:33:13,750 --> 00:33:18,250
and Christ has been made a quickening spirit

544
00:33:20,550 --> 00:33:23,150
as he sits on the throne, the power

545
00:33:23,150 --> 00:33:28,370
transforms the human life comes from him as

546
00:33:30,130 --> 00:33:34,650
Jonathan Edwards said that he'd always think a

547
00:33:34,650 --> 00:33:38,510
kind providence that in the wisdom of God

548
00:33:39,310 --> 00:33:43,090
God allowed David Brainerd to die in Jonathan

549
00:33:43,090 --> 00:33:46,730
Edwards' home Mr. Edwards said I was in

550
00:33:46,730 --> 00:33:49,490
his room by his bedside most of the

551
00:33:49,490 --> 00:33:53,610
time the last 48 hours that saint of

552
00:33:53,610 --> 00:33:59,400
God lived and he laughed at this he

553
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,940
said David Brainerd the saintest man perhaps America's

554
00:34:02,940 --> 00:34:07,360
ever known spent the last 48 hours of

555
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,900
his life examining his own heart and mind

556
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,020
to see if he could lay hold on

557
00:34:13,020 --> 00:34:22,280
any evidence any evidence that he had a

558
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:28,800
saving interest in the shed blood of Jesus

559
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:37,940
Christ I stop and wonder at what they

560
00:34:37,940 --> 00:34:44,719
call the assurance of salvation today I remember

561
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:50,199
that Jesus Christ had 12 disciples and he

562
00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:52,420
said to them one of you will betray

563
00:34:52,420 --> 00:34:59,140
me and the only one who was not

564
00:34:59,140 --> 00:35:04,020
shaken by that statement the only one who

565
00:35:04,020 --> 00:35:08,790
had perfect assurance turned out to be the

566
00:35:08,790 --> 00:35:15,330
one that betrayed the son of God the

567
00:35:15,330 --> 00:35:18,110
11 disciples when he said one of you

568
00:35:18,110 --> 00:35:24,850
will betray me knowing themselves they said Lord

569
00:35:26,420 --> 00:35:35,580
is it I I told you we were

570
00:35:35,580 --> 00:35:42,540
reading the passage of scripture do you think

571
00:35:42,540 --> 00:35:46,600
it's nihilist this no soul salvation they've been

572
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:51,740
bragging about now what's it let me give

573
00:35:51,740 --> 00:35:56,420
you some scripture and we desire that every

574
00:35:56,420 --> 00:36:01,440
one of you do show the same diligence

575
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:06,680
to the full assurance of hope unto the

576
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,960
end that you be not fearful of followers

577
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:16,840
of them who through faith and patience inherit

578
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,820
the promises for when God made promise to

579
00:36:20,820 --> 00:36:23,580
Abraham because he could swear by no greater

580
00:36:24,330 --> 00:36:27,940
he swore by and said so and so

581
00:36:27,940 --> 00:36:32,600
a blessing I'll bless thee and multiply I'll

582
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,940
multiply thee and so after he had faith

583
00:36:35,940 --> 00:36:42,380
simply endured he obtained the promise for men

584
00:36:42,380 --> 00:36:44,880
verily swore by the greater in an oath

585
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,040
for confirmation as to them an end of

586
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,120
all strife wherein to accommodate himself to the

587
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,620
women who wherein God willing more boldly show

588
00:36:54,620 --> 00:36:58,140
unto the heirs of promise the immutability of

589
00:36:58,140 --> 00:37:01,200
his counsel confirmed it by an oath that

590
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:05,600
by two immutable things in which it was

591
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:10,040
impossible for God to lie we are in

592
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:14,600
this we might have a strong consolation who

593
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:24,120
have prayed for rescues to lay hold upon

594
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:28,200
the Lord set before us where is that

595
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:34,640
hope which for we have as an anchor

596
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,380
of the soul both sure and steadfast and

597
00:37:38,380 --> 00:37:41,360
where is it thank God which entereth into

598
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,420
that within the veil where is my hope

599
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,800
the little carnal assurance is I know I'm

600
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,660

619
00:39:40,670 --> 00:39:45,520
takes for granted that death of Jesus would

620
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:51,710
fall prostrate before the fact that on that

621
00:39:51,710 --> 00:40:00,600
cross the sovereign of this world lay down

622
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:06,170

I had to bow to protect it for

630
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,180
you to go from a conference like this

631
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:56,800

639
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:24,160

640
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,540
