tonight now we're so grateful you're here welcome to the camp meeting and i apologize about the weather but i'm not in charge of that it's been near 70 all the month of february until about friday and it turned cold on us i think in the tents you're probably okay out here if it gets too cold just move into a car or whatever you have to do i i think i know i just asked the radio station and uh so ushers if someone in that back parking lot needs to know what channel it is the back parking lot is 98.7 whenever we tail we haven't told this in month it's in the bulletin normally but i don't know how you're going to hear it anyway but 98.7 in the front 99.5 i do sign language 9 9.5 there we go all right so that's where we're at 99.5 98.7 well this is day 360. 360 days we've been shut out of that 3 000 seat auditorium and it's um it's been such a gift and such a blessing it really truly has somebody wrote me during the beginning of this crisis here in america and around the world they said we're standing with you in your assignment i haven't forgotten that this is the assignment that god has for us right now i don't like it the governor hears me regularly the congressman he has my cell to call the other day again he hears me regularly the mayor uh wrote a letter to me on uh text me on friday again or saturday and uh and um the county health director and right now they're watching many of them not all of them but many the uh the county lawyers watch and they're my friends they'll know this is true the very first time we had the lawsuits going against one another i was meeting with them without lawyers and therefore attorneys were there after about an hour i said you know i said we're getting nowhere we're just going in circles i've tried to be very gracious to you and you have been extremely gracious to me but we're not getting anywhere so let's just have prayer i've all these years i've been here i just always begin every meeting with prayer to end in person let's just have prayer all right heavenly father and i began to pray and midway through i got thinking and tony you're listing perhaps right now and melissa and michael and douglas and i got thinking i don't know if they want me to pray but you know every meeting thereafter when our attorneys came they were shocked they said now pastor you always begin with prayer once you start today at the close it's a pastor why don't you close us in prayer my heart is very burdened for them i can tell you i have a love in my heart and i'm going to pastor those people one day i don't agree with it and they know i don't agree with the shutdown but this is our assignment right now and i a church that is so thrilled that god is allowing us to come to church on a parking lot we are in a constant state of revival it's just amazing and i want to try to this week explain to you what god is doing here but one thing for example last year we took during covet 50 000 bibles to our city in the past we've done that on the 25th anniversary 30 and this is our 45th many times people would be upset with us it is so rare if anybody says anything bad toward us people have flagged us down on the road and say thank you for the bible people sent money in here's to help you with your project emails come thank you for a bible and it's just been a wonderful thing people in this area are welcoming to the gospel we're seeing people saved on this parking lot on sundays it's just a wonderful thing and we want to welcome you and we're so honored so so privileged that you come and be with us uh the campground and the camp meeting i'm just so pleased you're here i want to be able to talk to you this week and at the close of this service we'll give you some announcements we'll have coffee fellowship in the morning if you're going in the building so we want you to go in the buildings for tours and see it some sessions will be held in the buildings tomorrow but whenever you move into a building the convention center night you have to have a mask on and here in this county you have to practice social distancing many of you are coming from states that are wide open and we're happy for you but we're not there but we're getting there and i don't want to be an old grump on this journey of life brother brown every single sunday for me is special right now i'm treasuring these days i hope i have many sundays left but i don't want this part of my journey to be where i'm an old complainer i want this part of my journey to be so so very wonderful and it is wonderful i want you to know that um if you don't have not registered we'll tell you to close how to get registered in the convention center and tonight you want to register because for our delegates it's italian food tonight and you'll get a bag to go italian food and um and you can eat inside it's separated how many people were allowed on the first floor the second floor the courtyard will have heaters out there you could take it in your car you can go wherever you want to eat it that'd be okay but every night there's a meal to close and we look forward to that tonight is italian food tomorrow night is mexican food and then wednesday night is chick fillet food and so it'd be wonderful we'll have lunch together and in the morning my weather app says 50 chance of rain my wife has 70 chance of rain but as far as i know i'm not in charge of the rain and we're going to have services here we'll get you all tucked in drive in whatever but we'll just get through that and that's supposed to be it lord willing we'll see if that is true thank you for coming what an honor 36 years we've enjoyed this conference and last year this was the last event it was over and on friday i had to come to the college students and close the school and it's been really a difficult situation but while we're here and undoubtedly in these dormitory rooms they'll normally open the windows and they sit in the windows here the girls do many of them watch outside and we put people everywhere those that are parked around the corner you can't even see but we're grateful you're here tonight one of our men asked me will we be having an offering this week have you ever heard a camp meeting without an offering is the pope a catholic yes he is we're having an offering and uh we're looking forward to the ushers coming momentarily or you can give online or they'll come through the cars and through the area here receive an offering you're going to have to get used to those planes there's 500 jumbo jets a day and i know that because my wife and i live about four blocks from here we live on the corner of the boulevard and the expressway the expressway has 185 000 cars a day in our backyard so we'll sit out there when it's warm and we barbecue and we say during traffic time when the wheels are just going see it sort of sounds like the ocean doesn't it we both have mental problems but we're having a good time ushers wherever you are please come if you will and let's let's give if we can in church family i would hope that there'd be about 25 of you men and or ladies that would give a thousand dollars this week to help us and that will be a start to the cost of the conference we're going to have the offering i'll stay here and i want to introduce the speaker and we'll get right to it and normally we'd sing a lot more we'd have a choir and it just doesn't work now if you folks are cold out here in the open get near a heater and we'll take care of that let's pray together father i thank you for the history of camp meetings we thank you back in the early 1800s there were 25 000 people that come to camp meetings some would sit in the rain for a week in kentucky i've read the account and they sat there and god you did a great work

we're so so honored to hear brother larry brown is here dr brown and ronda he'll be preaching tomorrow morning you know sometimes you get the idea that the big guns preach at night and the second

from the heavenly way i was wretched and vile as could be [Applause] but then my savior in love he gave me peace from above when he reached to despair when he came to me there and he showed me that i could be free then he lifted my feet he gave me gladness complete [Music] when i hear his sweet voice in the tempest to him high then please [Applause] [Music] when he reached me [Music] when my savior reached down for me he had to reach way down for me without god or his son when he reached down his hand for me i was [Music] well glory aren't you glad for old-time salvation i got to do this one time honk if you love jesus amen matthew's gospel chapter number three what a blessing it is to be back again at north valley uh a little unusual i know you miss your building but this is electrifying i love it and uh felt like i'm on top of the world up here and we won't be jumping off and taking a leap of faith i can tell you that but dr treber god's people god's church have prayed for you and your church all over this country and the hand of the lord has been a punion it's still upon you and i'm glad tonight that old time religion is alive and well the bible said let the redeemed of the lord say so and the reason why it said let the redeemed of the lord say so we're the only ones got anything worth saying we got a song tonight let's sing it we got a light let's shine it we got to praise let's render it we got a voice let's lift it up he is worthy of our praise he is worthy of our worship he's an awesome god and we love him tonight if you save raise your right hand if you know it raise your left hand if you're glad about it raise both of them weigh them around a little bit and turn to your neighbor and say you look better with your mask on amen matthew's gospel chapter number three tonight begin reading in verse number one in those days came john the baptist preaching in the wilderness of judea and saying repent ye for the kingdom of heaven is at hand for this is he that was spoken of by the prophet isaiah saying here's my text tonight the voice of how many one the voice of how many one the voice of one crying in the wilderness prepare ye the way of the lord and make his paths straight and i'm interested tonight in that little phrase in verse number 3 where it said the voice of one the voice of one crying in the wilderness and tonight the lord be on my helper i want to preach for a while on the power of one voice the power of one voice in the midst of the pandemic in the midst of the political unrest that we have seen for the last year in our nation we have heard from everybody from everywhere about everything we have heard from the athletic world we have heard from the entertainment world we have heard from the political world we have even heard from the religious apostate world of our day but i believe tonight it is time that the world heard from the church heard from the redeemed lifting our one voice in this world of sin and sorrow the bible said that john was the voice of just one but i'm glad he was lifting up that one voice crying in the wilderness now think about john the baptist tonight what was john well the bible said that he was a forerunner he was sent to prepare the way for the first advent of our savior so john went forth crying something like this prepare get ready somebody's coming prepare get ready somebody's coming he would say i'm not that somebody but i just came to appoint you to that somebody that somebody is greater than me that somebody is before me that somebody i'm not even worthy to tie his shoes but get ready prepare somebody's coming you've never seen anybody like him so get ready somebody is a coming and i believe that's what we are in this day in which we live we are forerunners god has sent us to prepare the way for the second advent of our savior can i remind you tonight just like he came the first time he will come the second time god got it right about the first coming and he's got it right about the second coming all of the promises all of the prophecies all the predictions about his first coming were fulfilled to the minute detail and can i remind you tonight all of the prophecies all of the predictions and all of the promises god's got it right about the second coming of jesus christ this is our job this is our ministry this is our message in this day in this wilderness to lift up that one voice and say prepare get ready somebody's coming the only difference is this the first time he came he came in a manger but the next time he comes he'll come in the clouds the first time he came they planted a crown of thorns upon his head but the second time he comes they are crowning king of kings and lord of lords the first time he came they impaled him to a wooden cross but the next time he comes he'll sit upon the throne and the first time he came they spit on him and said crucify him but the next time he comes they will bow and lift their voice and save that jesus christ is lord to the glory of god the father we've heard what the world's got to say we have heard what politics has gotten to say we have heard what religionists has to say let's lift our one voice tonight in this wilderness and lift him high and lift him up because he is worthy to be lifted the world needs to hear the voice of the redeemed think about john the baptist tonight some parallels between john the baptist and his day and you and i in this day notice the commissioning of john the baptist the bible said there was a man sent from god whose name was john let me emphasize that again there was a man sent from god whose name was john even though his mother elizabeth and his father zacharias even though they were godly people and devout people and very very spiritual people brother when john came on the scene he was a daddy's man he wasn't mama's man when john began to preach he was a daddy's preacher he wasn't mama's preacher he did not represent the religionists of his day brother when john came on the scene he was sent from god he was god's preacher he was god's voice he was god's man he came under the auspices of heaven he came in the authority of heaven and when john lifted up his voice he was sent by god can i remind the church tonight we're not another civic group we're not another religious entity but we are the pillar and the ground of truth the voice of god the church of the living god ordained by god anointed by god authorized by god we're not here tonight to lift up ourselves or to lift up a religious city we're here tonight to tell this world there is a god in heaven there is hope for this world there is the grace of god because it's not about us tonight but it's all about him jesus christ the king of kings and the lord of lords the world has their voice and politics has their voice and the entertainment world has their voice but this is god's voice this is god's day this is god's time we came on business tonight for the king of kings and lord of lords john was sent by god and god has sent us to lift up our voice in this wilderness of sin and sorrow the commissioning of john the baptist quickly tonight i want you to notice the characteristics of john the baptist brother when john came on the scene he was different than the religionist of his day let me say it like this tonight they had never seen anybody like john the baptist they had never heard anybody like john the baptist the way he lived was different the way he spake was different the way he looked was different there was a distinguishing mark between john the baptist and the religionists of his day while they had seen the best that religion could produce they had seen the levite they had seen the scribe they had seen the rabbi they had seen the pharisee they had heard what they said but they had never ever seen anybody like john the baptist they had never heard anybody like john the baptist when he stepped upon the scene there was a difference between him and the religionists of his day may i say this tonight if we're going to be a voice for god in this world of apostasy and compromise we've got to get our distinguishing mark back we're in the world but we're not of the world church ought to be church a preacher ought to be a preacher there ought to be a difference between us and this world we ought to look different we ought to walk different we ought to live different our message is different our song is different our voice is different our approach is different thank god for old time holy ghosts feel believers like john the baptist he was a holy man and yet he was a humble man he walked in righteousness but he walked in humility he was bold but yet he was compassionate i love this about john the baptist he said this he said you know that one that's coming he's greater than me he was before me i'm not even worthy to tie his shoes and here's how john felt about it he must increase but i must decrease he must increase but i must decrease john said i need to get little in your eyes and he needs to get real big in your eyes because brother he came on business for the king of kings and lord of lords may the church tonight step out of the shadows and step out on the stage of time and lift our one voice and be different from the world and look different from the world and sing different from the world and preach different from the world and point me in to jesus christ the rose of sharon the lily of the valley and the bride in the morning star the world needs to see our light and the world needs to hear our voice let's lift it high tonight in this wilderness in which we live don't ever underestimate the power of one voice and i see the commissioning of john the baptist i see the characteristics of john the baptist but tonight i want to see the calling of john the baptist what did god call this man to do one thing lift up that one voice his calling was to lift up that one voice by the way tonight the only voice that john could lift was his own he could not lift up the voice of the rabbi he could not lift up the voice of the levite or the scribe or the pharisee the only voice he could lift up was the voice that god had given him may i say to this congregation tonight in these cars under these tents the only life you can give to god is yours the only heart can be ablaze for god in your life is yours and the only voice you can lift is yours god's given us a box let's break it at his feet god's given us a life let's put it in the hands of his lordship and god has given us a voice if you're saved you've got a song if you're saved you've got a testimony if you're saved you've got a word let's lift it up tonight let's lift our voice the world needs to hear the voice of the redeemed and i see john one day down by the rivers of jordan and he's gonna lift up that one voice in the wilderness i believe john clears him off a piece of ground and he uses an attention-getting word maddie beckons with his hand and says behold behold they say that means in the greek stop pause gaze with full attention because something big it's about to happen a redneck would say behold means you'll watch this and boy john beckons with his hand and he gets that crowd's attention behold behold and i see him as he points across the river behold the lamb of god that taketh away thus man i want to run but they ain't nowhere to run oh behold the lamb of god that taketh oh i wondered and now to face anybody here you're glad when you was a sinner a half a heartbeat from hell going down for the last time somebody lifted up their voice somebody lifted up their voice and said stand in attention look in amazement right over there behold the lamb of god aren't you claiming you was a sinner somebody told you about the lamb of god that takes away the sin of the world oh notice what he said behold the lamb of god not a lamb not some lamb not one of the many different lambs the lamb of god the only lamb of god the single lamb of god never been one like him before and there'll never be another one like him he is not a savior he is the savior he is not a way he is the way he is not a door he is the door he's not a resurrection he is the resurrection he's not a shepherd he is the shepherd he is not a life he is the life he is not a king he is the king he is not a lord he is the lord lift up your voice lift up your voice god has one savior he has one mediator he has one king he has one lord he has one redeemer he has one emancipator he is the one the only one and there'll never be another one [Music] lifting up that voice john said behold i love this the [Music] lamb of god they had never heard that before they had never heard that phrase before they have heard the rabbis speak they have heard the levite and the scribes speak but they had never heard that message lamb of god lamb of god lord have mercy they knew aaron had won they knew that abel had won they knew moses had won they knew the high priest had won they knew that israel had won but for the first time in their life they heard that god had won and it's not just one but the lamb of god this is not aaron's lamb this is not able's lamb this is not moses's lamb this is not joshua's lamb this is not israel's lamb this is the lamb of god god's lamb conceived of the holy ghost in the womb of a virgin baptized in holy ghost power in jordan gonna live a sinless life shed sinless blood thy voluntary death and thank god three days later will arise from the dead the perfect savior the perfect perpetuation the perfect atonement god's lame god's emancipator god's salvation god's redeemer god's lord god's christ aren't you glad tonight we're dealing with eternal things it's god's message it's god's word let's lift our voice and point men not to the world savior but to god's the only savior and when you think it can't get any better john shoves it in our gear and said behold look over there your watch is the lamb of god that taketh well glory that taketh away they had never heard that they might say that they had never heard the pharisees say that they had never heard the scribes say that taken away you mean he can take it away my sin the guilt of my sin and the condemnation of my sin and the weight of my sin and the consequences of my sin and the judgment of my sin you mean there's somebody who's right for what's wrong in my life you mean to tell me i don't have to carry around anymore he don't have to haunt me anymore john lifted up his voice and said

glory now they had heard he could do something with it but they never heard he could take it away they had heard he could put it behind his back they had heard he could seal it up in a bag they had heard he can separate it as far as the yeast is from the west they had heard he could put it in the depths of the sea they had even heard he could cover it or atone it but they had never heard anybody go as to far as to say whoop hallelujah take it away because you listen to me tonight if it's in a bag it's still there if it's in the depths of the sea it's still there if it's behind its back it's still there if it sees from the west somewhere between it's still there oh if it's covered it's still there that's old testament language come to the grace and the blood and calvary and the cross they have never heard anybody say it's better than in a bag it's better than in the depths of the sea it's bitter behind his back it's better than far as the east is from the west it's better than covered you say brother joe what could be better than my sins being behind his back what could be better than it being in the depths of the sea what could be better than it being in a bag what could be better than casteis from the west what could be better than covered i'll tell you what's better go go go go go go go it's over with it seem violated it doesn't exist when god sees you tonight he sees you pro calvary hallelujah hearts you glare tonight our sins are gone there are people all over your community and all over our towns weighted down by the guild and condemnation of sin lost with that god headed to a devil's hell they need to hear your voice i said they need to hear your voice and say there's one the lamb of god named jesus he don't hide it he don't cover it he takes it away he does away with it what i'm really trying to say is this god has no record of your existence before salvation you ask me why i'm happy i'll tell you why my sins they're not covered they're not head they're gold they're gold they're gone he took it away whoo he took it away i was flying out of monroe louisiana the other tuesday and this airline attendant said to me she said sir you have a nice suit on i said well i may not be a good preacher but i want to look like one and she said you are a what i say i'm a preacher i'm a preacher of the gospel of the lord jesus christ and she said what religion is that i said old time salvation honey i'm glad some of the night old time salvation's real to me and she said well i'm such and such i'm a such and such and she told me what religion she was in and she said uh sir i could ask you a question you talk about god laying one a fish right in the boat i didn't have to cast the lure out she said is there any difference between what i am and what you are i said yes ma'am there sure is she said what would you consider sir the major difference i said honey our hope is built oh nothing less than jesus blood and righteousness where christ and christ alone i didn't say this she said this she said that's wonderful that's absolutely wonderful i've never understood why we pray to dead people anyway that's what i promise you honey my crowd don't pray to dead people we call on the living savior the high savior the only savior for archery glad when you was in your sin lost and on your way to hell i have a heartbeat from the pit somebody lifted up their voice and said behold lord there's somebody named the lamb of god that can take your sins away lifting up that one voice you say brother joe how effective do you think john the baptist was well evidently pretty effective because the next day he's got converts to baptize matthew chapter number three said they were down there by the jordan and john's baptized in converts and it just says this and they were confessing their sin they would walk up to john and i guess and tell them what they've been doing and boy i'm glad that was john and not me i know too much already this lady said to julia the other day you and brother joe don't do facebook y'all don't know half of what goes on in the church she said we know enough to keep us up all night they'd confess their sin john would baptize them they'd go on their way another one would step in confess their sin john would baptize them they'd go on their way and about that time john looks around there stands jesus christ the son of the living god and he doesn't confess his sin because he don't have any to confess you know what i love saying that so much i think i'll say that again he didn't confess his sins because he didn't have any to confess young and zap felt so good i'm going to say that one more time he didn't confess his sins because he didn't have any to confess he's a sinless spotless pure impeccable holy lamb of god he's the sinless savior and he said john john baptized me john said oh i can't do that baptize you i'm not even worthy to tie your shoes and jesus said i love this to fulfill righteousness to fulfill righteousness i want you to baptize me what is righteousness that's what god imputes to your account when you trust the lamb of god that's what god imparts to your life when you trust the blood of jesus christ you're pronounced and made righteous in him well how to sinners depraved lost and undone ever acclaim or receive righteousness well they have to put their trust in their faith in the gospel which is the death and the burial and the resurrection of jesus and he said john to show this crowd how righteousness is imputed and imparted baptize me son and john he'd baptized a lot of people but usually you got the preacher baptizing the converts here you have the preacher baptizing the converter and in type of his death and burial he immerses him in that liquid grave buried with christ in type of his resurrection risen with christ he lifts him up out of that watery grave i see jesus standing there well that old red muddy jordan water dripping off his face i i don't know what he did for john i i don't know what it did for the bystanders but i know what it did for heaven it tore heaven slam up god shoved back the clouds took the holy ghost and put it on the wings of a dove and it flew from the throne of god and hovered over the shoulders of the son of god and god himself leaned over the balconies of heaven and spake with a voice that shook the foundations of the earth this is my beloved son in whom i'm well pleased you say what's the point i've been about to die all day to tell you john was so faithful in lifting up his voice john was so consistent in lifting up his voice john was so burdened about lifting up his voice so one day god said i'll think i'll help him i think i'll join in and i'll lift up my voice and can i just say tonight it's one thing to hear john's voice what but it's another thing to hear god's voice john lifted up his voice until god lifted up his voice i just want to say this tonight i grew up in an old-fashioned fundamental independent baptist family king james only local church singing preaching testifying and shouting and i want you to know something tonight i'm not embarrassed i'm not ashamed and i'm not trying to unidentify myself in other words i am not a recovering fundamentalist the only thing i'm trying to recover from is stupidity and ignorance i am not trying to recover from old-time preaching daddy i'm an old-fashioned shouting mama i'm not trying to recover from amazing grace i'm not trying to recover from this power in the blood and i'm not trying to recover from the gospel and god's plan of salvation i'm glad i heard the teaching i'm gonna heard the preaching i'm gonna heard the singing and where i come from i even heard the shouting and i heard some good so i've seen my mama getting the glory hallelujah i like it i think it's in order let the redeemed of the lord say something oh i've heard some good singing howard billy killed him the burns tree up the green baptist count meeting i'm on the winning side oh yes i've heard some good good good singing i've heard some wonderful wonderful bible teaching in my life i've sent her biblicanoy teaching ceo roach teach some of the great bible teachers of the south and then brother i really believe this god has allowed me to hear some of the best preaching i believe anybody could ever hear man i'm glad i've heard the voice of mays jackson i'm glad i've heard the voice of harold seitler i'm gonna i've heard the voice of curtis hudson i'm glad i've heard the voice of tom malone i'm glad i've heard the voice of sammy allen i'm glad i've heard the voice of jack treeber i just want to say i thank god for every gospel song brother justin i've ever heard every old-time holy ghost shout i've ever heard every bible lesson i ever heard every gospel message i've ever heard i'm glad i've heard it but i want to tell you one day jesus spoke to me one day bless his holy name and i didn't hear my mama's voice i didn't hear my daddy's voice i didn't hear the voice of the preacher i didn't hear the voice of the singer i didn't hear the voice of the testify i heard god's voice the voice of sovereignty the voice of eternality the voice of deity i'm glad i heard his voice but listen tonight they didn't hear god's voice till they heard sean's voice i believe tonight if the church would be faithful and lifting up her voice it won't be long to god to join in and say i think i'll lift up mine oh let's keep soul winning let's keep impacting our cities for god let's keep on singing let's keep on teaching let's keep on preaching we're not preaching by ourself we're not singing by ourself we're not witnessing by ourself there's a voice greater than ours there's a voice more powerful than ours god will lift up his voice and if the world ever gets his voice they'll never be the same we got one voice let's lift it tonight but when god joins in his voice that one voice becomes the voice and the world needs to hear that one voice if you've ever traveled up interstate 85 going north out of greenville toward uh charlotte north carolina you'll come to a little town called cowpens south carolina on the left hand
