this place amen we want our elders to make their way at this time we were going to go to the Lord in prayer over the sick as the book of James says to call for the elders the old elders will anoint the sick and they shall be healed in the name of Jesus amen we still believe in healing amen with the same church that was birthed in the book of Acts the same God that worked back then the same God that worked for all of the heroes of the faith is here working tonight amen I believe that if you have a need in this place that God can heal it amen I want to do something as we call for those that are sick and we're going to begin to pray here just a moment we have something special happening this week and our strong tower student ministries and that is we are beginning a new CMI at Pellissippi just right up the road here the Blanc County campus this coming Friday and we've had struggles with this throughout really years and we have found favor due to the fact that you have to have a staff member that is present in every single meeting and a lot of staff members are so busy as it is it's hard to find a staff member that will give an hour of their time a week or every other week and we have found favored through some of our students and I want them to come tonight all those you know who you are that are involved with the cm Iowa for the Jakub to come he's been helping with a lot of the paperwork and getting everything prepared you would come right here in the middle and I want to pray a prayer over all of you here in a moment when we begin to pray over the sick that God would anoint you continue to give you favor and then great things are gonna happen beginning this Friday at Pellissippi Community College down there I'll tell you this so this is how much favor these students have already back I believe it was nine or ten years ago there was an account open and somehow they said this is the first time that there's actually going to be a Christian meeting at this campus now just this week we've had the door opened in Blount County and even at the Pellissippi campus where there is a satanic movement wanting to move into the school system and into our Blount County College but this is the first time that a Christian gathering of people has happened at the Pellissippi campus and she said there's an account with 700 dollars in it and I want to give it to you all to start so they already have money for promotions for everything that they're gonna do and I believe that this Friday Friday afternoon when they begin that god only knows what's gonna happen on that campus although all the negative that gets talked about at colleges I believe that right here at Blount County that God is going to anoint these young people so if you would come together in the middle here if you have a need I wish you'd symbolize that by lifting of your hand God sees every need God sees every situation come on as we begin to pray if you have a need why don't you step out of your seat have one of these elders anoint you with oil come on we want to believe with you tonight greater is He that's in this house than anything that you're facing body soul and spirit the

somebody that has a need reach your hand toward these young people reach your hand toward these elders Lord we meet you to move God we ask that you would annoy God God every word that's spoken God as

in the house of the Lord what a tremendous time we had this morning two precious Souls received the gift of the Holy Ghost and I'm so thankful for them I'm thankful at least don't tell me any different but my heart swelled with joy this morning at the end of that message on heaven to see our Blessed Saints what I felt were encouraged in the Lord that there's a place called heaven that blessed pastor I don't know how much it bless you it didn't don't tell me because I just hadn't got in the car and headed to Sevierville and just thought god I believe I made some precious precious saints of God feel good about a place called heaven I'm thankful he gave us the promise of heaven I'm unworthy tonight to stand before you if you look up here and could really see what you need to see you would see a man that's only standing here because he has been the recipient of the abundance of the mercies of God I am what I am tonight because of the mercies of God his mercy saved me and once his mercy saved me his mercy has kept me and I'm glad tonight for the mercies of God I'm glad tonight for the mercies of God undeserving this that's what I am I would get what I deserve tonight I would deserve public humiliation but I'm glad that we serve a man not God named Jesus who gives us mercy thank God for mercy tonight anybody else want to thank God for mercy I was sinking deep in sin far from the peaceful Shore deeply staying within seeking to rise no more but the master of the sea thank you for your mercy the fact that I think that someone left here today because not all preaching not all preaching gets to the sinner not all preaching is to the sinner sometimes God wants the preacher to preach to his people until his people stay in the race the best is yet to come keep your chin up keep looking up because your Redemption draweth nigh rejoicing the mercies that God has given you rejoicing the grace that God has given you God loves you tonight church give your bibles that would stand with me this evening I left the Sevierville Church and I can't help but tell you once again I've got in the car and I thought and this probably don't come out right and I thought you did a good job because I saw a white-headed sister that's going home to her husband that's been unable to come to church for months but sister Bogle probably wouldn't much be a Sevierville Church had it not been for that cup that precious elderly couple has been there at that church when they nine shut the doors brother beau can't come anymore sister Bogle comes as often as she can I watched her limp out of the altar today we had them put a special ramp in at the front door of the Sevierville church so she'd get her Walker and her Cana through there I'm gonna tell you God wants us to get our mind on heaven would you just praise Him with me right now you're a recipient of the grace of God if God's mercy has saved you and God's mercy has kept you I'm going to heaven I'm going to heaven I'm going to heaven I'm going to that wonderful place called heaven but tonight this message is not to the faithful its messages to the fearful Luke chapter 16 and verse number 19 there was a certain rich man which was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day there was a certain beggar named Lazarus which was laid at his gate full of sores and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table moreover the dogs came and licked his sores [Music] I'm gonna keep reading want to have prayer I want to preach to you tonight on a place called hell I preached this morning on a place called heaven I want to preach tonight on a place called hell lay your Bibles down if you're serious about living for God I want you to help me pray tonight that I steer someone off of the path of the road to hell father I've read your word and I'll continue to read your word God Lord Jesus tonight I pray that you would touch this congregation I pray God that you would touch me with your spirit that I would be able to preach the word tonight Lord there is a heaven because your word says there's the heaven and there is a hell because your word says that there is a hell Lord helped me tonight to steer any that's on the path to hell off of that horrible road tonight young and old the light Holy Ghost use me tonight Jesus name we pray amen you may be seated I told you this morning that I used a lot of word and I will use a lot of word tonight because I do not want any to leave here and think that heaven or hell is some kind of figment of imagination of church culture there is a place called hell this morning I believe that I laid the proper foundation to biblically show you several men that left this earth and went to that place called heaven inna Elijah Moses and tonight I take the scripture and I can show you through Scripture of at least one man in hell at least one man in hell please do not believe the commentaries that want to tell you that this was a parable it is not a parable and we can prove that it is not a parable by one foundational key parables never had a name never had a name there is a name in this story and there is a name in this story because it is not a parable it is something that actually happened the name of the beggar is Lazarus the rich man's name is not mentioned and simply because when you are not saved you do not have a name with God depart I never knew Jesus begins by telling us the two lifestyles the rich man he was clothed in purple and fine linen and he fared sumptuously every day I would have to surmise to say that he may have been born into a family of wealth that is very possible that he could have been born into the family of wealth or it could be possible that he made the wealth on his own it's of little importance other than his lifestyle is mentioned he's a certain rich man he is clothed in purple and fine linen there's a message here purple is a color purple is a color that you would want to speak to everyone that seen of your importance he wore the color of purple so that everyone that seen him would have a certain opinion of him he also wore fine linen fine linen was soft and comfortable to the flesh you will notice with me that his clothing included what others thought about him and how it fit his comfort the Bible simply says that he fared and uses the word sumptuously every day there was no kind of drink nor food nor comfort that was ever withheld from him he was never hot because servants rotated Fanning him he was never cold because someone would be there to lay a blanket over him he fared sumptuously every day and then there is a certain beggar named Lazarus which was laid at the rich man's game evidently he was sick in his body the blood disease possible open sores on his body and all he asked for was not a slice of bread not a loaf of bread but all he asked for was the crumbs that would be swept up under the table but in return he did not receive crumbs he received the dogs as the dogs were turned upon him my style is an important thing you can be born into poverty you could be born into middle class or you can be born into upper-class but really what's important is not that you're born in poverty middle-class or upper-class the question is how do you respond to what you are born into born in poverty you can rise out of poverty hard work right decisions born in the middle class you can be thankful born into upper-class you can be thankful but all of these different classes of wealth you would be born into all are waiting for your response decisions well the Bible says that these two men who are on opposite ends of a lifestyle it's possible that Lazarus was born into poverty it's possible that the rich man was born into a into the affluent but what's important is how they responded to it the Bible says in verse number 22 and it came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the Angels into Abraham's bosom the rich man died also and was buried and hell he lift up his eyes being in torments and seeth Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom death now there's a lot of things that you have control of there's a lot of decisions that you can make whether or not you listen to me tonight is a decision left to yourself your response is a decision that's left to yourself but there is one thing common to all of us that we have no control over and that is death death comes to the young unexpected and death comes to the elderly as expected death comes to the poor man's dunghill and death comes to the rich man's palace I want you to know tonight that there's a lot of decisions that you can make because you are your own person but there's one decision you'll never make and that's when death comes for you to the young you can be lulled to sleep to believe it could never happen to you tell that to 13 year old Rhonda Johnson to the young we can believe that it'll never happen to you tell that to the 18 year old Dallas Martin who was on his way to church his daddy's home missions Church when he had a head-on collision with a tractor-trailer on a highway in Mississippi you say tonight it's enough kind of preaching that makes me want to shout you exactly right I don't want to make you shout tonight I want to make you think I want to make you think because death is something that comes to all of us or will come to all of us I heard a minister say recently he said you know years ago we remind we were reminded of our mortality every time we went to church we were reminded of our mortality because to go to many churches years ago you had to go through the church graveyard to get there as they went to worship their God they walk through tombstones that reminded them of their mortality death will come to all of us tonight death will come to all of us if we live long enough if the Lord tarries the Lord tarries should I say if the Lord tarries death will come for all of us Bible said in Hebrews 9:27 and as it is appointed unto men once to die but after this the judgment we have an appointment with death you can choose not to listen to me tonight you can choose to get up early leave you can choose to text you can choose to do a lot of things I'm telling you there is an appointment you have no power to escape it romans 5:14 nevertheless death reigned rules from Adam to Moses please yes these twelve and one is very interesting please yes these twelve one through seven one begins by saying remember now by creator in the days of thy youth while the evil days come not nor the years draw nigh when thou shalt say I have no pleasure in them Solomon says please remember God now please remember God now he said that to you please put God in your life now because he said there are evil days coming and verses 2 through 6 he describes the failing health that a human body goes through he describes your legs getting weak and unable to stand he describes teeth falling out and unable to eat he describes ears being closed and you're unable to hear he describes how you're fearful he even describes how when you're older that you don't sleep well verses 2 through 7 2 through 6 he starts out in verse 1 of saying it's time to remember now your Creator and then he describes it and he closes it in verse number 7 then shalt thou then shall the dust return to the earth as it was and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it he tells about a man dying decomposing and he goes back to the dirt of which it was made his spirit goes to God who gave it the beggar died the rich man died but here's where things begin to change for the Bible said that when the beggar died God's heavenly angels became the pallbearers they came and they carried him into a place of paradise into Abraham's bosom of which Abraham was there the Bible says that the rich man died and was buried and in hell he lifted up his eyes being in torments and seeth Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom follow with me tonight one man goes from a life of sores and suffering hunger and begging into the glories of God no more sorrow normal no more pain the rich man that wore the purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day had any drink that he could want any food that he could want he now lifts up his eyes being in torments he is being tormented and as he lifts up his eyes he sees something that he sees Abraham and he sees Lazarus in his bosom he had seen Lazarus a lot of times he had seen him as the despicable beggar that messed up the front of the driveway he's seen him as a nuisance turn the dogs loose on him but now he sees Lazarus from hell's point of view see there's one thing about hell I don't want to go there because I don't want to have to go to hell to be educated about Hell I believe the Bible is giving us enough about the place called hell that we ought to all be bound and determined I don't want to go to hell I don't want to go to hell I don't want to be lost over foolish deceived demonic rock-and-roll group that pin the words to the song I'm on the highway to hell I'm on the highway to hell you gotta be a fool and you gotta be the seed because I'm gonna tell your hell it's not someone big sex party hell it's not someone big draw drunken brawl hell is not someone big drug fest hell it's not someone big Woodstock can I tell you in Hell there is no singing in Hell there is no drinking in hell there is no satisfaction in hell there is nothing but torments nothing but torments inhale but he sees Lazarus very differently because he makes a request if you'd follow it you ride in your Bible if you write in your Bible and verse number 24 he cried and said father Abraham have mercy on me send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue for I am tormented in this flame but Abraham said son son you know what we have here five times the rich man called Abraham father five times Abraham calls the rich man's son we have here a backslidden Jew no one except of the Jewish descent would call Abraham father but a full-blood Jew a full-blood shoe that was privileged to all the ordinances of God a privileged child a child that was brought up to here here o Israel the Lord our God is one Lord not a Gentile not a dog not an uneducated Gentile put a little boy that was brought up to know the commandments of God but somewhere in his life he decided to let the world begin to motivate him and he left his roots and he finds himself in hell he finds himself in hell he still has the recognition that that's father Abraham and that's Lazarus it's interesting to note that the name lazarus means god's help that's what the name lazarus means it means god's help of which i wonder was lazarus really sent there to beg for bread or was Lazarus an opportunity for the rich man to turn around whistle Azeris really sent their bike was he really sent there for bread or did God love that rich man enough to see in him God's help to try to turn his life around can I tell you tonight you can view me as a lot of things but you're looking at God's help talking to you right now you can view me as a lot of things you can view me as a lot of things you can misunderstand my motive you can turn the dogs loose on me of criticism if you want to but end of the day all I am is pouch help trying to tell you to turn turn make the right decisions make the right decisions oh I've got to preach to the church tonight don't go to hell get sin out of your life get things out of your life that you know is wrong get habits out of your life that you know is wrong get music off of your players that you know is wrong get entertainment out of your life that you know is wrong stir yourself move yourself the Lord is come on you've got to be ready get it out I'll tell I'll not have him come beyond the gate he's not gonna get into my life keep his nose in his own business keep him up there at the gate isn't it amazing that the one that the rich man would not allow into his house but in hell he sees it differently I don't want any of you to go to hell because when you go to hell it's too late matter of fact I don't want any of you young folks I don't want anybody in here to have to go through trials I don't want you to have to lay flat on your back in a hospital for you to wake you up and start serving God but if that's what it would take God put them flat on their back I don't want to have a tragedy in our youth group but if it would take a tragedy to wait some of us up then God you might have to give us a tragedy because you can send me to the gate if you want to but if you die lost that same preacher that you wouldn't let come into your life that same word that you wouldn't let come into your life those same standards that you said I don't have to do that I don't have to act like that I guarantee if you dropped a microphone down in hell tonight hell would say there would be women there to say if you'll get me out of this place I'll dress any way you tell me to dress I believe there'd be men tonight to say if you can get me out of this place I want you to know if you tell me to stand on my head and gargle peanut butter I'll do it if you can just get me out of here Oh help me pray right now I want the Holy Ghost to get on this message tonight inhale inhale he lifts up his eyes and he was in torment father Abraham sin Lazarus I wouldn't let him touch me on the earth I wouldn't let him be all the y8 in the earth on the earth dirty sore rid and despicable Lazarus nosy outdated preacher nosy outdated parents nosy outdated people in that church I think I'll go somewhere else you can you can but I promise you in hell what you deemed is despicable here on earth you'll be asking for that person to come with just one ripple water on the end of their finger and cut your tongue with it he didn't ask for wine he didn't ask for beverages he asked for the most common thing water water can I tell you in Hell oh I wouldn't care if you get me out of hell I'll listen to a sermon that goes an hour and a half if you can get me out of hell I'll start studying my you can get me out of hell I promise you I'll get up early in the morning I'll listen to the word would you just send him and let him touch my tongue verse 24 for I am tormented in this flame but Abraham said son remember remember that thou in my lifetime receiver style good things and likewise Lazarus evil things but now he is comforted and thou art tormented he wasn't there man's wealth that sent him to hell nor was it the poverty that sent Lazarus to heaven was how you responded to it you realize tonight God sends nobody to hell and God places no one in heaven the decisions that we may determine whether we'll stay in Hell be placed in hell or in heaven do you remember you took things and you live the life of comfort don't make me feel uncomfortable don't inconvenience me my goodness we have church all the time around here my goodness can he lighten up on these things can he lighten up brothers are lightening up can he lighten up a little bit don't he know how uncomfortable this is can I tell you tonight when comfort becomes your God he allowed comfort to become as God he says the statement here son remember some things that are not in Hell there's no water in hell there's no water in Hell but some things will be in Hell your memory your memory Mark chapter 9 and verse number 43 jesus said if thy right hand offend thee cut it off it is better for thee to enter into the life maimed than having two hands go into hell into the fire that never shall be quenched where there were no notice it's not the worm their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched if I put a fin they cut it off it is better for thee to enter halt into life than having two feet to be cast into hell into the fire that never shall be quenched where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched if thine eye offend thee pluck it out is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than having two eyes be cast into hell where their worm I have not and the fire is not quenched nay is not advocating literally cutting off a right hand or cutting off a right foot or plucking out a right eye he is advocating going to extreme measures to stay out of hell we must go to extreme measures to keep ourselves in the right relationship with God if it takes me pray pray if it takes us keeping the flesh on the altar keep the flesh on the altar it's not going to be some little ritual church that's going to get you to heaven it's going to be somewhere and that's radical about it if my right eye is offending me pluck it out if what I am looking at listen here now if what I am looking at is causing me to sin stop looking at it if it means getting rid of the television get rid of the television if it means getting rid of the computer get rid of the computer if it means getting rid of a phone that will put you on the Internet then for God's sake pluck it out get rid of it come on church come on I'm preaching to you tonight I'm telling you it may get extreme if it's extreme then let it be extreme but we've got to stay out of hell your hand represents something that was then within reach if you keep things in reach of you that cause you to stumble get them out get it away from your life if they're places that's causing you to stumble cut your right foot off don't go to those places if they make you stumble but then he said where their worm dies not the analogies here is how they describe the human brain in those days not knowing the medical names that we know for what a brain looks like now a brain simply looks like a glob of large worms that are intertwined and he is literally saved in hell your memory will not die now you know it would be something to be born way over in a Middle East country where you woke up every morning to the sound of the prayers of their gods and never to have known and wake up in hell it'd be one thing to be born in the dark regions of a third-world country and wake up in hell and just know this might have been a part of life but oh my to be a member of the first Apostolic Church of Maryville and wake up in hell because you'd wake up in hell and you remember the sunday night when the sunday morning the pastor preached on a place called heaven and wide headed Saints on walkers and canes some of them limping down here to the alter walked away with tear-stained eyes praising the sweet name of Jesus but then you'll remember that Sunday night when preacher preached and the atmosphere was a little bit sober but right now while I am preaching there's more going on here than my words God the Spirit of God is dancing all over this place tonight God isn't stopping at the pews God is hovering over hearts and there's hearts of men and women tonight that our understanding I've got sin in my life I tell a lie and the drop of a hat I don't look at a woman up and down and think of her and godly thing about her I've got less I've got jealousy I've got in me I've got all that and cops kind of tell you you better get it out of your heart you better get it out of your heart he's got an old fogey preacher he's not an outdated preacher he's trying to keep you out of a place [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] is waiting for you [Applause] sometimes I get report the people that belong to this church using language a lot not use can I tell you you believe I'll go to hell you believe the custard will take you to hell no it's not percussing it's you not knowing God because you can't say you know God and use the same language of people use that don't know God folks I'll just go have to bear with you Pastor a little bit tonight but God has run me out like a rat like a tower for the last few days we are deceiving out you I don't want you to get comfortable here I am here tonight to afflict the comfortable and the comfort the afflicted I am here tonight if you're all these pews and you're playing Church tonight lying is a sin gossip is a sin lusting is a sin these are things that you must put on the altar and ask God to help you with I don't care how many young people are using dirty language that just means you're all going to hell and listen a crowd will not make the flames of hell any more comfortable any water water water father quarter father he can happen son qui verse 26 Luke 16 besides all this between us and you there is a great gulf fixed so that they which would pass from hence cannot to you cannot neither can they pass to us that would come from thence she looked around here tonight the green here what's above that door right over there I'm pointing to young folks tell me what's above that door I'm pointing at what's bevy somebody say it what's above it huh what's above that door over there exit exit exit exit exit can I tell you only the church has an exit hell has no exits Abraham said I got to tell you something rich man there is no way when God prepared hell for Lucifer he did not prepare hell for humans he prepared hell for Lucifer and when he prepared hell for Lucifer he made a way that hell could see what's going on in heaven for the fact of torment but when he made hell he fixed it in such a way that those that are in Hell can never exit and those that are in heaven can never come to where they're at and help them out can I tell you tonight you ought to exit while you can you need to exit a life of sin while you can exit your lifestyle while you can if you question whether your life is pleasing to God you listen to this preacher tonight exit while you can I may not even get finish preaching tonight before the trumpet of the Lord shall sound I know that's a lot a lot of people to sleep you've heard that so many times that it doesn't do anything to you anymore but I've got to keep on telling you just because your conscience has been seared does not negate the fact that Jesus is come on exit while you can [Applause] maybe see exit I've been preaching now for almost 40 years pastor Erickson the 911 a something and my short four decades of preaching I've seen the change you used to be able to preach like I'm preaching tonight you'd never put an ending you never put an ending to your sermon on hell because they didn't in one ended it was people gripping the back of the Pew coming to an altar but you see we've heard it Jesus could come before you're finished I heard you I got you think I'll roll the dice one more time brother one day I'm gonna get right one day I'm not really gonna pray up one day no exits inhale no water inhale Luke 16:24 the rich man's sister carpenter understands that he cannot get relief from his torment he realizes that there's no water there's no way out and he turns his attention then he said I pray thee therefore father that thou would have sinned him sin Lazarus to my father's house for I have five brethren that he may testify unto them lest they also come into this place of torment abraham saith unto him they have Moses and the prophets let them hear them and he said no father Abraham but if one went unto them from the dead they will repent and he said unto him if they hear not Moses and the prophets neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead don't you look up here for a moment you see me in this book this is all you're getting to stay out of hell that's all you get just had a miracle I just had some kind of miracle I really I really believe no you wouldn't this is all you get if this right here can't keep you out of hell then you're gonna bust hell wide open because that's all you get Steve Wilson preached a message and he borrowed a thought he preached a message entitled something better than heaven and something worse than hell when he said the title something better from heaven something something better than heaven something worse from hell worse than hell he began to think what could be better than what could be better than heaven and what could be worse than him he said what could be better than for then heaven would be as you are walking up

your pathway and now it's your decision tonight it's your decision tonight I want us to understand something tonight if you'd put second Thessalonians chapter 1 verse 7 on the screen for me please it's a pretty bold statement to make that all you get to stay out of hell is a man with a book it's a pretty bold statement to say that's all you get that's all you get that's all you get you ain't getting an angel you ain't getting a miracle all you're getting is a man with the book so all you getting and to you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the gospel of Jesus Christ who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power when he shall come to be admired in his Saints and to be admired or glorified in his Saints and to be admired in all them that believed how did we believe because our testimony among you was believed in that day Paul told the church at Thessalonica he said the Lord is coming from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God and obey not the gospel of Jesus of the Lord Jesus Christ when he comes to be glorified in his Saints in to be admired and all them they believe how did we believe because we believed a man with a book as he gave the testimony we believed a man with believing the man with the book is going to determine whether your feet touch gold or brimstone let me close let me close this tariffs and you can come but let me close and then you can pray and and I'll let them keep the church open all night long revelation 20 and 11 I saw a great white throne and him that sat on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away and there was found no place for them I saw the dead small and great stand before God and the books were open you look here what he's talking about is the sixty-six books and the books were opened and another book plural or singular was open which is the book of life and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works how you responded to the man in the book and the sea gave up the Dead which were in it death and he'll delivered up the Dead which were in them and they were judged every man according to their words death and he'll were cast into the lake of fire this is the second death and whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire listen to me [Music] it's a book in heaven called the book of life you need to concern yourself tonight that your names matter of fact I don't be a prayer before we all go to bed tonight God is my name there because at the end of time which books are over [Music] sorry your name's not here cast into the lake of fire you watch this cast cuz ain't nobody gonna walk into the lake of fire see how promises you freedom some people think they're free because they can make the choice tonight you're not free you're more bound than you could ever imagine the chair bound because if you keep going down the road you're going on you're going to a place of restriction you're going to a place you're not gonna go there you'll have to be cast but I'll tell you what this generation is battling right now we have had an overdose of preaching the love of God and the mercy of God we've overdosed even the Bible says too much fun he's not good we've almost preached mercy and grace so much that our altars in our Pentecostal churches brother Dean our revolving doors that people know they can go out there and live like a stinking devil and run back in here and get them a little touching the altar right back down the road they go because it's hard to fathom because we have overdosed on this god of love and mercy it's hard to fathom that on that day I can't bat my eyes at him he's gonna let me in I promise you the god that we preachers had overdosed falling it's not the God of the Bible he is the God of love that he is but he loves you enough to follow his word says in the Bible it is written in the volume of the book it is written about me I loved you enough to follow my word but you know what he expects in return he expects you to love him enough to follow his word back so we almost we've been so inundated with this god of love and unconditional love it reminds me of a story was a man driving by the lake one day he had had a hard day in the office he was driving by Lake when he saw a young man trailing in the water the young man had fallen off of the raft that he was the born and was in the process of drowning the man stopped his car and jumped into the lake and saved the boy from drowning for a few months the family got rather close to the man but after years had went by they had lost contact the young boy grew up and entered into a life of crime found himself in prison brought up in shackles to stand trial before a judge nervous he was but when he entered the courtroom Daytona when he entered the courtroom did his heart ever leap for joy for sitting there on the bench in the long black robe was the judge but not just any ordinary judge he recognized me that's the man that saved my life that's the man that stopped his car and he saved my life oh I'm getting out of this one I'll get out of this one I know what kind of man he is he he saved my life and he when he came time for the sentencing the gavel failed the judge gave that young boy the stiffest strictest penalty that he could give him sentenced him two years in prison the boy was a gasps what what you've given me the hardest penalty what what have you done you saved my life he said son you've got to understand the day that I drove I found you drowning I was your Savior but the day that you walk into my courtroom I'm your judge can I tell you that God that hung on the cross is our Savior but we got to understand we're gonna meet him in judgment and he is now our chance I want to love you tonight I want to love it come on we can just leave a little bit with me right now I know some of you got to go home and get up early in the morning but true we just have a little bit more prayer tonight I don't want to be long after you pray dismiss yourself tonight let's have a little bit more prayer tonight [Music]
