Not EVERY ONE that saith, Lord,
Lord, shall enter into the kingdom OF
heaven, but he that doeth the will OF
my Father who is in heaven.-Matt-
hew, 7-2l.
That is cinch.
We cannot talk ourselves into
Heaven. Is:
We cannot Believe ourselves into
Heaven.
We cannot Pray ourselves into
Heaven.
Talk in no. too cheap after all when
we figure on what it costs.
The strawberry box bottom is half
way up; there is no bottom in the
talk box.
Most everyone BELIEVES every
thing he wants to.
The spider upon which you are to
about to step on prays to you not to
do so.
The stinkweed tries to protect itself
against your enroachment and the
skunk shields itself the best it can
and anybody will pray, although
David asked God to make the prayers
of certain people become sin in his
sight.
DO DO. ...-
Anybody most will put down a few
cents on paper, but it takes good
man to carry around sack of -four
to the destitute family and not hope
that the people will see him busting
the remnant from his coat the next
morning on the porch. 1t is hard to
do that coat cleaning on the Q T.
Some fellows wont whistle on Sum
day, but they will make you whistle
the other six days in the, week.
Some females wont hustle and hus-
tie around on Sunday but they hustle
around good deal some other times.
The geography Of thing sets it's
assumed price. We think more of a
big waterfall in the city square, and
some prayers would sound very fiat
if we got around the home of the
deceiver.
DO DO.
Hyminuhy written with a small H
and without dotting the G), reads the
same thing bottom side up and back
wards, SO do some of our ideas about
getting into Heaven.
The pronoun l is the pivot point
in a selfish petition.
1t you want to catch trout, get out
of sight. If you are bound to catch
them, get further out of sight and if
you just MUST catcl1 them, get still
further out of sight and see that you
stay there. If you wan to get to
Heaven, get out of sight of the carmel
appetites; if you are bound to get to
Heaven, get still further out of sight,
and if you just MUST get to Heaven,
get still further out Of sight of the
carnal heart and see that you stay
there. Simply cruelty the old man
and the Old Man to whom l refer is
not the old fellow across the street
either
DO DO.
To say you are going to Heaven is
one thing, while GOING there is quite
another. We say we are all right, but
ARE we? We SAY we do things to
please the Lord, but DO we? We
have tried a long time to tease the
Lord into doing things to please US.
now lets start out anew and see how
many things we can do to please the
Lord and let our interests rest for a
while. Every bean that is planted
gets word from the eternal to start
one sprout down and one sprout up,
and no matter which end we put
down, that bean does as it is told
and never makes the mistake of send
ing the wrong sprout down. We get
message from the eternal, but we
are the only things on the earth that
will undertake to 60 contrary to that
message. God says: Thou Shalt
Not do SO an So, and we find we can
do It and that God is slow to bring
on the punishment, and from this
basis many have supposed God for
gets.
DO DO. |
There are going to be some sur
prises at the judgment Office. Some
OF those cock-sure fellows are going
to have a lot of egotism squeezed
out of them. Here, about the best
reason they have for believing they
are sure of Heaven, is the fact that
they think so. They have never
DONE anything along that line, but
somehow they just FEEL that heaven
is their rightful home and they are
going to depend upon that feeling. III
their right hand did anything good,
they told the left hand all about it and |
then advised their hired-hand about
it too. They are depending upon
what has been done for them, for
instance, they let the church baptize
them. They have been led to think
THEY have done something when
they permitted the church to do its
duty and baptize them. AS a matter
of fact there is nothing at all for the
candidate in the act of baptism. That
is the church fulfilling its direct COM
mand to itself Those who rest as
sured and secure in this mistake,
would then also rest secure if some
one were to put up the years of pledge
to the finance of the church. There
is a good deal in WHAT man does
believe, much in how a man believes,
much in when a man believes, but on
top of all this, there is tremendously
more in what man lets his belief
make him DO.
DO DO.
