make him purely a man. Jesus said,
endless glory for the saved, endless
damnation for the impenitent
1 hear a lot of people talking about
where we came from. / am not con-
cerned about that. What l am inter-
ested in is where we are going. That
is the thing we are up against. Never
mind where you came from. You are
here. That is settled. That Is done
We develop into young men. young
women. men. women. old age, de-
crepitude. We go on and finally we
all fall into the grave that opens
across our path. l don't know how
long it will take you to reach yours.
I don't know how long it will take
me to reach mine, but somewhere tr
this country. there is one waiting. an6
some time, l don't know how soon,
II will take me. In some things,
can take a circuitous route. 1 can
go around and around that chair, but
can't get around the grave. 1 wish
it could be done.
God reveals in language that IL
plain the result of your choice. SO
you know what is going to be the
end. If you choose this, you know
where you are going; If you choose
that, you know. God Almighty has
made it all plain to you. and you
will all find out when you are
through that what God created and
what God revealed is true. If you
don't believe there is a hell now,
you will later on. You will find later
on that what God told you was true,
and you will find out that you were
a fool not to believe it now. 1t is
just as true, whether you believe II
or not.
Whatsoever things are true,
think on these things"
Hell Curbs Sinners.
Wait a minute! Law is necessary
wouldn't live in a country where
there was no law, where every man
and woman was a law unto them
selves. Laws are necessary, so that
men and women may know what
they may and may not do, and the
law levels a penalty against you il
you disobey the law. All laws
amount to nothing without a PEN
atty. If there was no penalty, you'd
leave the floOd-gates of iniquity
open and pandemonium would break
loose. II there was no penalty for
breaking the law. some fellow
would kick you out of your home
He'd yank your diamonds from your
ears. He'd pick your pocket and
go up and shoot you.
Great God. whenever men and
women become a law unto them
selves, then the white and the blue
of the old flag dissolve into red
and we have the red flag of anarchy
waving over our land. Laws are
necessary, but the law would
amount to nothing if there were nc
penalties attached to the law. And
il God had no penalty for your liv-
ing in sin, you'd scoff and mock.
Men live in sin now and scoff and
mock at God when they know the
penalty that will come to them
They do it anyway. Great God, il
they are as bad as they are. know
ing they are going to hell, what
would they be if they didn't know
it?
The Lord has arranged it, and he
has planned that every mortal that
will cut sin out Of his or her life, ac-
cept Jesus Christ as the savior, car
go. too. Jesus said on that great
day. Come. ye blessed of my Father
inherit the kingdom prepared for you
from the foundation of the world"
And to the others He said, Depart
from Me, We cursed. into everlasting
fire, prepared for the devil and his
angels"
Tell me, which crowd will you be
with?
Jesus says, ENTER thou. or DEPART
which crowd will you be with?
