Gods Penitentiary" Luke .16:19-25
Rev. 2O:15.
| You know what it means to neglect
your farm. The grass would soon
over crowd it. I guarantee you would
| lose. So it is with your soul tonight
| my friends. If you neglect your souls
salvation. Sin will choke you out.
You will find yourself in Gods Peni-
tentiary There are many in this
audience tonight God has wonder
fully blessed. We see the reflection
of Jesus upon their faces. But there
are others tonight who are not will
ing to make a full surrender to God.
You are neglecting my friends but
just as sure as you do it, you will go
to Gods penitentiary. It grieves the
heart of God my friend, but he has to
fulfil his law, you are sending your
self there. The Bible proves that hell
exists. This rich man had all he could
wish for in this world, but Lazarus
was a poor beggar, desiring the
crumbs from the rich mans table,
the rich man died and went to hell
but this poor mad died and was car
ried to Abraham's bosom. How the
rich man desired just drop of water
upon his torturing tongue. You re-
member how he said, there is great
gulf fixed. It was impossible for any
body to go across that great gulf
That proves tht hell exists. There are
many it seems that are going to hell.
There is no comfort for them in that
awful place. No one can come to
your rescue In our penitentiary
people break out, they are caught and
carried back But my friends, you
can't get away from hell. No one
can come to that awful place to res
cue you. But God can give us the
victory and we can go on praising
Him. You may say, well don't you
ever burn up in hlel? No according
to- the Bible you don't. It's awful to
be in our penitentiary today. Probably
to stay year after year-but beloved,
it's worse than that in hell. You
can't relax from that awful place.
A continual torture. Just think how
it hurts to burn your finger, but that's
just drop from the bucket. When
we think of going to hell. There are
more on the broadway tonight, many
loaded down with thersinful way, but
there is a straight way there are
many who may go out to meet GOD
unprepared, some leave home happily
they kiss their mother and father
goodbye, not thinking of what might
happen to them. Finally they. meet
their doom, in a smash-up. The Bible
tells us GAIL nations shall be cast into
hell" Why are we having such a tur-
MOL tonight across the sea, because
they have forgotten God. There are
going to be murderers and blasphem-
ers in hell. You say don't want to
associate with the lowest class of peo-
pc here on earth, but my friends ii
you neglect your soul tonight, you
ere going to be with all kinds Of peo-
pie Do you desire to go there to-
night? What are you going to do
about it? Some of Our ministers to-
day fail to live for God as they should
They are starving for more of that
spiritual food What sad scene is
ahead of America tonight. Go back
and get right with God, my friends.
L. seems that some people are aSham-
ed of Jesus, but beloved if you are
ashamed of Jesus, he will be ashamed
of you. "The Bible says there will
be wailing and gnashing of teeth
What a severe pain it will below
awful it is to think old gray headed
mothers, their poor old backs bent
from toiling day after day for their
children. But has neglected God.
They will have to burn as long as
eternity rolls. Think of sons and
daughters in pain. They're saying OH
Why don't you give your hearts to
God, mother and father, if you had
only taught me not to come to this
awful place. Beloved you can't get
by if you transgress Gods law.
Gods penitentiary. The doors will
be locked. Won't you take him to-
night friends. We don't know when
death is coming our way. While you
have time and opportunity, won't you
come tonight. Let Jesus have his way
with you. You will not regret it.
Don't go to that awful place-sinner-
Please don't. have tried to do my
best since 1 have been here. I have
strained my lungs pleading with you.
The glood is on your hands. I'm try
ing to show you the way, the best
know how. You say I'm going to wait
for another revival meeting, but sim
ner don't put it off, There are many
in hell tonight because they waited.
Won't you come tonight?
