1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,340
Listen friends, we live in a dangerous world

2
00:00:04,340 --> 00:00:08,500
today where society is spinning out of control

3
00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:10,600
and no one is at the wheel.

4
00:00:11,060 --> 00:00:14,260
Our land has become a land of sudden

5
00:00:14,260 --> 00:00:16,980
death as God has turned his back on

6
00:00:16,980 --> 00:00:20,100
America because we have turned our back on

7
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:20,720
God.

8
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:23,720
You can be gunned down by a madman

9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,520
just going about your daily business as Satan

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,659
has free reign in a nation that has

11
00:00:31,659 --> 00:00:33,140
rejected God.

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,920
Like Lot and Sodom, we are surrounded on

13
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,040
every side by moral depravity and like Lot

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,440
and Sodom, the church has lost her influence

15
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,720
and testimony by compromise and conformity.

16
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,500
If we were to tell someone, up, get

17
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:55,100
you out of this place, for the Lord

18
00:00:55,100 --> 00:00:58,300
will destroy the city, we would be mocked

19
00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:00,300
and laughed at as well.

20
00:01:00,740 --> 00:01:03,840
The church has lost her testimony to a

21
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,900
sinking world that is almost sunk.

22
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,280
The apostle Peter warned against false teachers in

23
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,560
his day and the day to come, but

24
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,440
there were false prophets also among the people,

25
00:01:18,860 --> 00:01:22,220
even as there shall be false teachers among

26
00:01:22,220 --> 00:01:27,520
you who privily shall bring in damnable heresies,

27
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,480
even denying the Lord.

28
00:01:30,380 --> 00:01:33,600
That's where we are today, friends, in our

29
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,400
churches across this land.

30
00:01:35,820 --> 00:01:39,280
Yes, there are some God-caught pastors out

31
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,000
there, I know some of them, but I

32
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,680
fear that in a majority of our churches

33
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,680
stands a devil in the pulpit addressing pagans

34
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,920
in the pew, and that's the title of

35
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,160
my message today, friends, devil in the pulpit,

36
00:01:54,660 --> 00:01:55,900
pagan in the pew.

37
00:01:56,420 --> 00:02:00,840
The apostle Peter warns of damnable heresies.

38
00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:05,840
The Greek word used for damnable is Apollia,

39
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,680
and it means ruin or loss, spiritual ruin

40
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,040
and eternal loss, to be damned in perdition.

41
00:02:14,540 --> 00:02:17,920
Do you understand, friends, what's going on in

42
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:19,060
this land today?

43
00:02:19,420 --> 00:02:22,880
We're living in the last days, and already

44
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,720
there is a spirit of Antichrist abroad in

45
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:27,440
the land.

46
00:02:28,060 --> 00:02:32,440
The apostle Paul warns in 2nd Corinthians how

47
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,500
Satan can transform himself into an angel of

48
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:41,760
light, and no marvel, for Satan himself is

49
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,940
transformed into an angel of light.

50
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,680
Satan does his best work inside of a

51
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,960
church, and he has flooded this country with

52
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,980
his ministers who stand in pulpits all over

53
00:02:55,980 --> 00:03:00,460
this land and teach damnable heresies in many

54
00:03:00,460 --> 00:03:02,760
cities from coast to coast.

55
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,660
There is a devil in the pulpit addressing

56
00:03:05,660 --> 00:03:07,220
pagans in the pew.

57
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,820
I was up in New England in a

58
00:03:09,820 --> 00:03:13,740
historic church where God had moved in revival

59
00:03:13,740 --> 00:03:17,340
during the second Great Awakening, and in the

60
00:03:17,340 --> 00:03:21,240
pulpit stood a lesbian pastor who addressed her

61
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:26,000
well-dressed pagan congregation as she spoke about

62
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,100
Mother Earth and New Age philosophy.

63
00:03:29,780 --> 00:03:35,580
These well-heeled, well-educated churchgoers smiled and

64
00:03:35,580 --> 00:03:39,660
thoroughly enjoyed her discourse as they sat above

65
00:03:39,660 --> 00:03:41,260
a trap door to hell.

66
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:45,400
I visited a church in Florida where the

67
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,140
lesbian minister had a service to bless animals.

68
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,160
You brought your dog or cat, and she

69
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,860
said a few words over it and blessed

70
00:03:54,860 --> 00:03:57,680
your animal while she damned your soul to

71
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:58,200
hell.

72
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,580
But these devils in the pulpit are easy

73
00:04:01,580 --> 00:04:02,320
to spot.

74
00:04:02,780 --> 00:04:05,320
It is the other devils in the pulpit

75
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,180
who look like sheep but are ravening wolves.

76
00:04:09,620 --> 00:04:12,720
They are seminary-trained men with a winsome

77
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,680
personality.

78
00:04:14,340 --> 00:04:16,820
They have a big church behind them and

79
00:04:16,820 --> 00:04:19,279
the influence of their denomination.

80
00:04:20,019 --> 00:04:23,220
I've personally known some devils in the pulpit,

81
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,300
and for a time they even fooled me.

82
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,960
But if you hang around them long enough,

83
00:04:29,260 --> 00:04:31,780
you can see right through them as they

84
00:04:31,780 --> 00:04:34,300
are merely butchers of souls.

85
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,720
They will say just enough truth to deceive

86
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,740
you into thinking they are true to the

87
00:04:40,740 --> 00:04:43,700
Bible, but it is what they don't say

88
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:45,180
that damns you.

89
00:04:45,620 --> 00:04:48,140
They omit the hard truths of the gospel,

90
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,840
and they broaden the way of salvation.

91
00:04:51,540 --> 00:04:55,820
They're popular with their congregations, and they are

92
00:04:55,820 --> 00:04:59,060
fair-haired boys within their denominations.

93
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,160
And they talk a good talk as they

94
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,300
deceive you, make merchandise of your soul as

95
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:08,900
they traffic in the souls of men.

96
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:13,060
They spoon-feed their congregations with just enough

97
00:05:13,060 --> 00:05:16,000
of the Bible to fool them as they

98
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,220
teach heresy to them, for they have weakened

99
00:05:19,220 --> 00:05:22,780
the terms of the gospel by watering down

100
00:05:22,780 --> 00:05:23,660
its truths.

101
00:05:24,140 --> 00:05:26,980
And they refer to Jesus as a Savior,

102
00:05:27,460 --> 00:05:31,260
but they fail to present him as Lord.

103
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,220
They will lead you into some kind of

104
00:05:34,220 --> 00:05:38,580
profession of faith and call that salvation, and

105
00:05:38,580 --> 00:05:40,940
tell you that you are now a Christian.

106
00:05:41,460 --> 00:05:44,260
And they grin all the time because they

107
00:05:44,260 --> 00:05:47,220
have done the devil's work of flooding you

108
00:05:47,220 --> 00:05:50,980
with deception, keeping you captive in the kingdom

109
00:05:50,980 --> 00:05:53,680
of darkness, and damning your soul.

110
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,400
There are multitudes in our churches today who

111
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,800
believe church membership is salvation.

112
00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:03,780
They believe making a decision is salvation.

113
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,420
They believe walking an aisle and repeating a

114
00:06:07,420 --> 00:06:09,120
prayer is salvation.

115
00:06:09,620 --> 00:06:12,500
But they don't know Christ, and Christ doesn't

116
00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:13,280
know them.

117
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:18,360
Unless these baptized pagans get under the sound

118
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,780
of the true gospel, they will die in

119
00:06:20,780 --> 00:06:24,220
their sins to be arraigned before the judge

120
00:06:24,220 --> 00:06:26,940
of all the earth, who will declare unto

121
00:06:26,940 --> 00:06:29,140
them, I never knew you.

122
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:33,240
Depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

123
00:06:33,980 --> 00:06:36,880
Sinners need to be told that coming to

124
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,420
Christ means an absolute surrender to him as

125
00:06:40,420 --> 00:06:41,040
Lord.

126
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,140
That to be saved, God demands repentance.

127
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:48,400
And you must throw up the white flag

128
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,240
of surrender to a dread sovereign who sits

129
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,140
at the right hand of the Father on

130
00:06:55,140 --> 00:06:56,280
a heavenly throne.

131
00:06:56,580 --> 00:06:59,160
And he earned that right by way of

132
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,620
a bloody cross.

133
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:05,380
The gospel has rights and claims on a

134
00:07:05,380 --> 00:07:07,280
follower of Christ, Jesus.

135
00:07:07,980 --> 00:07:10,860
Jesus is a living Lord, and if you

136
00:07:10,860 --> 00:07:14,180
want him, you must throw down your shotgun

137
00:07:14,180 --> 00:07:17,620
of rebellion and own him as your Lord,

138
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,960
to let him have all rights to your

139
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,500
life, to do with you as he wants

140
00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:24,920
to.

141
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,940
That's salvation, friend.

142
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,460
You better forget about Jesus' meek and mild

143
00:07:30,460 --> 00:07:33,520
and impotent standing at the door of your

144
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,620
heart, helplessly knocking, hoping you'll let him in.

145
00:07:37,940 --> 00:07:39,420
He is Lord.

146
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,140
He is Lord.

147
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,780
In Thessalonians, Paul describes him, the Lord Jesus

148
00:07:45,780 --> 00:07:49,780
should be revealed from heaven with his mighty

149
00:07:49,780 --> 00:07:55,000
angels in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them

150
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,180
that know not God and that obey not

151
00:07:59,180 --> 00:08:03,440
the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, who

152
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:08,380
shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the

153
00:08:08,380 --> 00:08:11,740
presence of the Lord and from the glory

154
00:08:11,740 --> 00:08:13,280
of his power.

155
00:08:13,900 --> 00:08:18,700
Listen, friends, this once saved, always saved sin

156
00:08:18,700 --> 00:08:21,580
and religion we have today is the product

157
00:08:21,580 --> 00:08:24,320
of hell, and the devil in the pulpit

158
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,280
who sits there will sin like the devil

159
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:27,920
himself.

160
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,140
If you are saved and eventual, you will

161
00:08:31,140 --> 00:08:32,900
not have a sin and religion.

162
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,260
You will pursue a life of holiness for

163
00:08:37,260 --> 00:08:38,820
the glory of God.

164
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,620
If a minister fails to warn you of

165
00:08:43,620 --> 00:08:47,800
a future judgment for all mankind, where God

166
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,340
will judge every man according to his works.

167
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,560
If a minister fails to warn you about

168
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:59,120
the torments of a burning hell for all

169
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,220
who die outside of Christ's blood.

170
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,200
If a minister fails to warn you of

171
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,500
your duty of repentance and your utter necessity

172
00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:15,460
of regeneration, which is a work of grace

173
00:09:15,460 --> 00:09:17,700
upon the heart through the new birth.

174
00:09:17,940 --> 00:09:21,020
And if a minister fails to teach the

175
00:09:21,020 --> 00:09:25,580
hard sayings of discipleship of the Lord Jesus,

176
00:09:26,260 --> 00:09:28,460
where you are to take up your cross

177
00:09:28,460 --> 00:09:30,380
and deny yourself.

178
00:09:30,780 --> 00:09:34,220
And if he omits preaching Jesus as Lord,

179
00:09:34,540 --> 00:09:37,640
then get up out of your chair and

180
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,820
run for the door while you still can

181
00:09:40,820 --> 00:09:43,220
and go find you a man of God

182
00:09:43,220 --> 00:09:45,300
who will be true to your soul.

183
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:48,220
Get on to a God-called preacher who

184
00:09:48,220 --> 00:09:51,600
can point you savingly to the Lord Christ

185
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,600
so you can get an interest in Christ

186
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,440
for the glory of God and for your

187
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,760
eternal bliss.

188
00:09:59,060 --> 00:10:02,600
I've given you today, friends, like we say

189
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,720
in the South, the oil straight from the

190
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:06,280
can.

191
00:10:06,620 --> 00:10:09,580
I have not diluted the claims of Christ,

192
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,240
of the gospel, in any way in my

193
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,780
hands or clean of your blood.

194
00:10:16,140 --> 00:10:19,320
You must repent or just go on to

195
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:19,820
hell.
