Jack hi thank you very much thank you thank you very much thank you my blackboard be seated please thank you I'll be seated on the widget [Applause] thank you very much thank you see thank you thank you very much thank you it's awfully hard it's all it's awfully hard for me not to be nostalgic when I come to East Texas about less than less than 20 miles where I stand right now I pastored my first full-time church about a half a century ago a kid preacher boy and his teenage bride wrote a Greyhound bus down highway 30 Haiti Haiti over here between Dallas and Marshall and went to enrolled in college at East Texas Baptist College and within 25 miles of here half a century ago I preached my first sermon within 25 miles of year I had my first convert walked the aisle within 25 miles of here I baptized my first convert in the pond within 25 miles of here I preached my first revival I conducted my first wedding I had my first funeral service I so this is very nostalgic a I don't care where you're staying I preached on your Road all over these pine thickets of East Texas I preached 17 churches in in within 10 miles of where I stood where the 20 miles where I stand right this very minute I won't even tell you whether were the are but called a lot of them are Southern Baptist they did now but I so many wonderful wonderful memories and so I I could not tell you how grateful I am that this church is reaching this area that I love so very very much these Texas is in my blood I grew up in Dallas but in a pastored in Garland had my greatest ministry there I look up to Hammond but there's something about East Texas I've told my wife if we ever get to where we have to retire because of the health I don't in place I'd rather retire than this then the pine thickets of East Texas and I I'm so glad to be here my good friend dr. Bob gray how would you like to have been chancellor of the college that trained this man we didn't we didn't make him or t years but we didn't ruin him either Sam Jones was preaching in st. Louis Missouri and the press interviewed him they said you're not so hot the press made you he said then make another one we didn't make Bob grave but some of the sweetest memories I have in our College evolved around this man and I'm so proud of him in this great church if a couple three months ago my associate assistant dr. ray Young was here on a Sunday morning he came back and he said preacher you've been so pleased he described the surface he described the makeup of the crowd and the invitation time and the sermon he said you've been so very very pleased you see you never know what church history go there on Sunday and not ever go to any church on Sunday except First Baptist Church at Hammond but rather a young came back and he said if you could just have been there and so I'm honored I appreciate very much the friendship of this good man and the way I the only thing about it I have to bail him out of trouble so much I'm tired write little booklets getting them out of trouble and the problem is every time I write a little book should get him out of trouble it gets me in trouble do-right's the booklet for me to get me out of trouble and but I I'm just so glad to see the members of their staff numbers of them are graduates of our school and there's a wonderful a wonderful feeling in our in our movement nobody's you know what is jealous of each other nobody is trying to beat each other when I go around the country I never mentioned how senators in college I just don't mention it because especially I'm anywhere in the end of the college but here it's I feel free to so all you Texas Baptist student is transferred a house down here some college and don't even running with a meal and you remember the horses I'm in this visit if I said that anywhere else folks wouldn't understand it but there's a wonderful spirit here and I appreciate it very very much and I watch the men who came a while ago I just love the fire out of it are you guys everywhere I look tonight there's a story but don't worry I won't tell it I mean really everywhere I look most any pew in this building I couldn't stop and tell you a wonderful experience about somebody on that pew let me sort of indulge myself tonight a little bit since I'm back home my roots and let me if you let me for a while you don't let me if you don't let me I'm gonna do it inhale but I I'd like for you to let me let me sort of retrace some things and be a little redundant I'll preach something new tomorrow morning but let me be a little bit nostalgic tonight open your Bibles please to mark chapter 8 there are so many things in my room and I got their picture of Babe Ruth notorious drunkard well that's the truth I mean and a Bible there on the desk is a new King James and so thank you dr. grey dr. Neil has pictures a great preacher you have pictures of Babe Ruth mark chapter 8 verse number 34 when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also he said unto them whosoever will come after me let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me for whosoever will save his life shall lose it I want you to notice we're talking about Christian people here taking up your cross follow me not talking the unsaved he's talking about Christian people who's ever will save his life shall lose it but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the Gospels the same shall save him again I remind you before we the next verse we're not talking to the unsaved we're talking to the save but watch did it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul the average interpretation of that passage says and I do not think it does it in justice though I don't think it's a primary teaching of it that what's your profit a man to gain the whole world and dies and goes to hell every pastor here and every evangelist here no doubt has a sermon on this text saying if you gain the whole world the rich isn't a Fame and the popularity in the fun of the world and lose your soul and go to hell what does it profit you I don't think that's wrong we use the scripture in that way but that's not the primary teaching of this scripture the primary teaching of this Scripture is that God's people are supposed to live for other people and not for themselves and we're supposed to lose ourselves and what should it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul our heavenly father I want to be a blessing tonight that's all I want to be I for you to help me to be a blessing please in Jesus name you're gonna use that one right there though this is one church that doesn't need one right there I'll deliver sure I'm gonna use this one dr. Elmer towns made a statement that I agree with just one he said good morning dr. towns made a statement several years ago he said most preachers are most the church building in America is being done by preachers who not yet 40 years of age I was stunned when I heard that didn't believe it at first then I got to looking at the history of most preachers and I found out that most preachers do have most of their growth before they reached their 40th birthday dr. Meyer and cedar home made a statement that shocked me also he told me this personally said dr. house I can count on the fingers of that one hand the men who started preaching in their twenties and priests under their seven days and by the way I'm now I'm seventy years of age I can count on the fingers of one hand all the men who started their 20s and priests into their seventies with the same convictions the same standards the same zeal that they had 50 years ago I couldn't believe that so I tried to think of that many men who in their 70s who prayed been preaching for a half a century who still had the same conviction the same zeal the same doctrine the same standards that they had I could not think of five either in fact the other day I was trying to think of five men that I could use some time on a program older me and 70 and older I couldn't think of that many men that I could use on the program now what happens to these men tell you exactly what happens I'll show you tonight in my message what happened to these men old story some of you heard it and most of you not but many of you have several years ago right across the street in the First Baptist Church of Hammond we used to call it in Texas caddy cornered I don't know that's still a good word or not I mostly focus on all those Greek words but I'm just I'm a college Chancellor and I have to expose to you I can't help you just flows like that all the time and caddy cornered caddywhompus all those words they just come a Greek word which means caddy which means to fuss all the time but caddy corner across from our church diagonally across an institution started called the village boutique now what was the village multi the village boutique was a place where a bunch of teenagers had led by 25 year old male and his whoremonger companion they started a place call a village boutique which there's nothing more than a communal kind of a life where teenagers could come and live in sin every kind of feel that you can imagine I'm talking about I could it was within a stone's throw of our church and I know this is slowest crowd I preached to a long time but I am just just it was this close to our church well as the parking lot as to where I stand right now where I stand now and it was it was a hell hole we contacted this City Council they took action but the courts wouldn't let them close the place the contact of the city sanitation board and and they took action close it but the courts would not let them close the place it was one of the most filthy garbage places I've ever seen in my life one Sunday night or winter night which about May 15th where I live one winter night this had a whoremonger about 25 years of age and his whoremonger it came to our services they're wearing a green olive drab green army blankets didn't have coats they're wearing army blankets and the list of their arms looked like a Batman with his outfit died and they set back over here underneath the balcony about full 15 fused back I guess maybe 20 and I started preaching and they got mad the whoremonger and he whoremonger it and they walked out in the hallway and listened to me on this loudspeaker in the hallway when I finished the point that made them angry they came back in they had a scene within a few minutes I made them mad again and they got up walked out again got in the hallway stayed there I got over that point and they came back in for the third time they got up to walk out and everybody here knows what I did I used to Texas word that you Yankees don't know much about its kind of word that that only people who live in the south understand I'll pronounce it for you it's called him him him powerful word so I said here on here I said sand and stay or get out and stay I'm tired of you walking in and out of the service now make up your mind neither set down and stare get out don't come back in after that wonderful display of Christian love they sat down next unday night they brought the whole whoremonger corporation with them forty whoremongers and whoremonger Epps came and set back in the back the head whoremonger 25 years of AIDS and his home longer at about the same age they told the usher head usher back in the back they'd like to see me after the service all 40 of the and whoremongers and queers and so they they they kicked up he uh sure sent me a note and asked if I'd see him I sent back and said sure I'll see him so I sat down behind my desk in my office and and I had two chairs right front in front of me with a whoremonger and the whoremonger it set and then the 40 others sitting around the audience that little aisle right back there sitting around in this study and my study packed and jam in those days would hold just about 40 people I said to him I said sir I think I said what can I do for you he said well your neighbors across the street I said aloud Eclair he said we've just come to tell you that if you treat us right we're not gonna cause you any trouble and I said you're not gonna cause us in trouble anyhow I said there's 40 of you and twelve thousand of us I don't know about your 40 but we don't have a single pacifist in our crowd I'd suggest for the sake of your health you not trying to cause the in trouble put a set that a little whoremonger it a whoremonger sitting back here stood up little short fell about 5 foot 2 with hair about 5 foot 4 he stood up he did something I've never seen in my life he starts snapping his fingers like this anyone that's true that's true that's true that's true that's true that's true that's
