The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1916-02-12

GENERAL OvERsEER: This afternoon it is my earnest
desire to show every sinner the Way God The most
important question that be framed by human lips is the
question
"WHAT MUST DO TO BE SAVED?
and the benefactor of the human race person
who in the light of Gods Word, wi-properly, unqualified
Iy uncompromisngy- answers that question
1t is my DESIRE further, to point out what terrible
thing it is for people having tasted of the goodness of
God to backslde in other Words to trampe beneath
their feet the light of the Sun of Righteousness.
I desire also, to show you, by the Word of Cod the
times in which living and the that is now
due to be delivered There selections of Scripture
running through my mind Of course, there many
that shall not only not be able to quote them but shall
not be able to refer to them.
First of ALL shall read to you part of the third chap
ter of the Gospel according to ST. Matthew want you
to see the beginning of things.
JOHNS MESSAGE OF REPENTANCE sT1Rs JUDAEA
In those days came John the Baptist preaching in the
wilderness of Judaea,
And saying, REPENT YE-Matthew 81, e.
you should forget everything else that hear this
afternoon desire that you shall remember the words which
spoken here by John the Baptist the Forerunner of
Christi because the message which he delivered is the
sage Chicago today is the for the world;
the message which must forth from ZION in these last
unto all manklnQ-(
the Holy Spirit engrave ndelbly upon each mind and
heart here this afternoon.
And saying, REPENT YE: for THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
is at hand!"
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN
In this address shall endeavor to tell what con-
sttutes repentance and shall point out to and be-
lieve make it plain to that the religion which many
people have today does not amount to anything There is

tan until you have Travelled that do not care any
thing about what your birth your ancestry but
Gods Word says
Except man be BORN AGAIN, he cannot SEE THE KING
DOM OF GOD"
I will read this third verse
"For this is He who was spoken of by the prophet
Esaas saying The voice of crying in the Wilderness
Prepare We the way the Lord make His paths straight
You will never get to Heaven by walking in crooked
path for the road Heaven very straight and
very narrow one and there thing God Almighty
winever walk around your but have to repent OF
vour sins and you have right the of your
life you have to clean up the past
THE UNREPENTANT PERSON CANNOT PLEASE GOD
Down there on Fourteenth Street and Wabash Avenue
noticed sign that read Come and get right with God
Now would take down that sgnwhat the use for them
to put the before the horse? That ought to read
Come in and get right with your eow-men" There no
use to talk of getting right with Cod until you first get
right with your fellowmen There is just where lions
message differs and where many people get to- and
then they hesitate and have had people to Wel
if have to pay back all that have stoen have to
fess the lies that have told if have to go to that
whom put aside and left and acknowledge to her sins
and ask be my wife, she is in fact then would
rather 90 to hell than to do it, WE'LL tell you straight that
unless you do you going to hell and that all there
to it,
MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT"
You cannot walk in crooked path, and go to Heaven
"And the same John had his raiment of camels hair
and leathern grde about his loins; and his meat was
locusts and wild honey"
You see John the Baptist plain and simple in
his dress-exceedngy So protest against the luxury
and the extravaganza and the gorgeousness of the times
and he was also very simple in his eating
