Work till Jesus comes, will work till Jesus comes, will work till Jesus comes, and will be gathered on the second to Jesus Christ. I've fled for rest, he bade me cease to roam, and lean for soccer on his breast till he conducts me home. Work till Jesus comes, will work till Jesus comes, will work till Jesus comes, and will be gathered on the third. I saw not once my Savior's side no more, my steps shall roam, with him I'll break this chilling tide and reach my heavenly home. Work till Jesus comes, will work till Jesus comes, will work till Jesus comes, and will be gathered on the third. Song number 377-377, Rescue the Perishing. Song number 377, let's sing Rescue the Perishing. Song number 377. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Rescue the Perishing, care for the dying. Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave. Reap for the erring lawns, lift up the fallen. Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save. Rescue the Perishing, care for the dying. Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save us again. Though they are slighting him, still he is waiting, waiting the penny the child to receive. Bleed with them earnestly, bleed with them gently, he will forgive if they only believe. Rescue the Perishing, care for the dying. Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save on the third. Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter. Feelings like bearing the grace can be scored. Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness. Corse done or broken, will vibrate once more. Rescue the Perishing, care for the dying. Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save on the last. Rescue the Perishing, duty demands it. Strength for the labor the Lord will provide. Back to the narrow way, patiently win them. Tell the poor wanderer, Savior has died. Rescue the Perishing, care for the dying. Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save. The next page, you see our service time is listed here. After church today, we do have soul winning around 2.30 meeting at the Rizal Monument. Brother Chris will be leading that here today, meeting at the Rizal Monument. Obviously, a lot of you are coming from out of town. If you have any questions, you can ask me after the service or one of the guys, one of the members of this church. They can help direct you there. We have a praise report for 2018. We ended the year in 2018 with 400 for salvation. That's a good total for churches for a year. We had like five weeks, so that's pretty good. We're excited about that. We've had several baptisms and 98 salvations counted so far. So, if anybody had any salvations between Monday through Saturday, if you guys want to let me know. Anybody? Monday through Saturday that aren't counted in here? How about yesterday? Do you know how many they got, Brother Dustin? That would be around 13. 13? Okay. 13 salvations. I got your total, Brother Jay. Was there anybody else from our church, Brother Jerry too? Anybody else? Five. Five. Okay, perfect. Any other totals? My son's got his hand raised. How many is F? It looks like a lot. He's pretty excited. Alright everybody, keep up the good work. I counted 20, so that's 118 salvations it looks like. We're a family integrated church, which means children and infants are welcome in the services for your convenience. Remember, no eating during the church services. Maintain a professional atmosphere during the service. Keep children from running in rough housing before and after the church services. On the next page, we have our Salvation Bootcamp series, which we're going to be talking about hell in this series. And today, I should say. Then we have our Keep Your Own Vineyard series starting in February 3rd. We have our poll result. Which restaurant is Mas Mas Arab? Fortunately, Jollibee won very easily. And we have our January Challenge for Bible Memorization. Remember, to get the prize, you've got to quote it to somebody else at church. Word for word. I'm close on these verses. You've got to get it word for word correct. And I'm a little bit behind schedule. I have memorized a lot of these verses in Tagalog. But I'm going to try to get them all memorized here before the end of the month. And be able to quote them in Tagalog to someone. And we have our Verity Baptist Manila Missions trip coming up here, January 14th through 20th. We put videos on our YouTube channel. One was helpful reminders, helpful tips for being here in the Philippines. And also a schedule video. They just put it on the Verity Baptist channel like probably 40 minutes ago or an hour ago. And so I'm not sure if everybody saw that. Maybe you don't know about our YouTube channel. But if not, you can either go to the Verity Baptist Manila channel or the Verity Baptist Church channel. And we'll give you also the helpful tips for being here. Some things to keep in mind. But also the general schedule. And so tomorrow we're going to be meeting at 11 a.m. at the Lapu-Lapu Monument. So that's going to be kind of the start of the day. Last year we had the missions trip. We organized it the best we could and then like 40 more people showed up than we expected. It was packed. And so after the first day we realized we had to change our strategy. So it's just kind of a general plan as of now. But depending on how many people show up tomorrow, we might need to adjust things. But you can check out those videos if you want. We have our 31-day Bible reading challenge coming up here starting on January 29th. That's our month-long challenge to read through the entire New Testament as a church. And on the back you'll see the birthdays and anniversaries. We have our prayer list for the week. And quote-unquote, the path to a young man earning respect is through proven character, maturity, and wisdom. If you take a look at the offerings and just to remind you that with our new system here if you want to donate. You know you have the envelopes you get during the offering. If you want to write down your name on this we can track the total. We can give you a statement at the end of the year or whatever. And we'll track everybody's total here as a church. So you're welcome to do that but you don't have to write your name if you don't want to. You can just put money in if you feel like it. And if you don't have to track it that's fine. So I think that's it for announcements. So we'll have Brother Prince lead us in another song before we take the offering and do the scripture reading. Song number 389. Turn your hymnals to song number 389. Let's sing Bring Them In. Song number 389. Your hymnals. Let's sing Bring Them In. Song number 389. Bring Them In. On to first. Heart is the shepherd's voice I hear. Out in the desert, dark and rare. Calling the sheep who've gone astray. Far from the shepherd's foldaway. Bring them in. Bring them in. Bring them in from the fields of sin. Bring them in. Bring them in. Bring the wandering ones to Jesus. For the second. We'll go and help this shepherd kind. Help him the wandering ones to find. Who'll bring the lost ones to the fold. Where they'll be sheltered from the cold. Bring them in. Bring them in. Bring them in from the fields of sin. Bring them in. Bring them in. Bring the wandering ones to Jesus. On the last. Out in the desert, hear their cry. Out on the mountains, wild and high. Heart is the master speaks to thee. Go find my sheep wherever they be. Bring them in. Bring them in. Bring them in from the fields of sin. Bring them in. Bring them in. Bring the wandering ones to Jesus. All right, please open your Bibles to the fifth book of Moses called Deuteronomy chapter 10. The fifth book of Moses called Deuteronomy chapter 10. And as our custom will be reading the whole chapter, Deuteronomy chapter 10. Say amen when you're there. Amen. Amen. Deuteronomy chapter 10, the Bible reads, At that time the Lord said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou breakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark. And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having it two tables in mine hand. And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the Lord spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly. And the Lord gave them unto me. And I turned myself, and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made. And there they be, as the Lord commanded me. And the children of Israel took their journey from Beihirah, of the children of Jehukah, of Mosirah. There Aaron died. And there he was buried. And Eleazar his son ministered in a priest's office in his stead. From thence they journeyed unto Gadgoda, and from Gadgoda to Chatba, a land of rivers of waters. At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister unto him, and to bless in his name unto this day. Wherefore, Levi had no part nor inheritance with his brethren. The Lord is his inheritance, according as the Lord thy God promised him. And I stayed in the mount according to the first time forty days and forty nights. And the Lord hearkened unto me at that time also, and the Lord would not destroy thee. And the Lord said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I swear unto their fathers, to give unto them. And now, O Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God, with all thy heart and with all thy soul, to keep the commandments of the Lord and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good. Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the Lord's thy God, the earth also with all that therein is. Only the Lord had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people as it is this day. Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked, for the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward. He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless, and widow, and loveth a stranger, in giving him food and raiment. Love ye therefore the stranger, for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name. He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen. Thy fathers went down into Egypt, with threescore and ten persons, and now the Lord thy God had made thee as the stars of heaven for a multitude. Let us pray. Dear Heavenly Lord, thank you for your word. Thank you for the Bible. Please bless Brother Stuckey with your message, Lord, with wisdom and truth. In Jesus' name, amen. Alright, we're here in Deuteronomy chapter 10, and one thing I forgot to mention, in terms of soul-wanting today, and especially during this week-long marathon, when you're going soul-wanting in Rizal Park, there can be a bit of a language barrier. So especially I ask my church, but also for all of us, the best we can, that if you're fluent in Tagalog, then you go with someone who's not fluent, and if you're not fluent in Tagalog, we'll get better results if we make sure that people that aren't fluent in Tagalog will go with someone that is fluent, because, you know, you can start a conversation, and they might have a bit of a language barrier, so it's gonna help if we have the people that are not fluent to be going with people that are fluent. And obviously there's plenty of people here that speak perfectly great English as well, but that will help us get better results. So I just ask you guys that today. Try the best you can. Obviously everyone likes going soul-wanting with their best friends, but it's also great to meet all kinds of new people and everything like that, and we'll get better results if we pair the fluent people in Tagalog with the non-fluent people. So we're here in Deuteronomy chapter 10, and this is part of our Salvation Boot Camp series, and the name of the sermon is The Salvation Boot Camp, The Necessity of Hell. The necessity of the hell. Now, you're coming into the middle of a series, so you might really not know what this series is about, but basically we've been going through all the things that are essential when it comes to salvation. The first sermon was just a sermon on not of works, okay? If you think you have to work your way to heaven, you're not saved, right? You have to understand that it is not of works, that it's a free gift. So we talked about it not being of works. We talked about eternal security. We talked about baptism because a lot of people here think you've got to be baptized to be saved. We talked about repentance of sins. We talked about the nature of God, and now we're talking about the necessity of hell because if people do not believe in hell, they're not saved, okay? You have to understand hell. You have to realize you're being saved from something, okay? And so we're going to... But during this series, we don't want to be repetitive and just read the same verses every single week, so we're kind of going to different aspects. So we're going to look at four points here on the necessity of hell, and we'll show how it is essential when it comes to salvation. But first point is just that the necessity of hell, why do we need hell for the Savior, okay? Notice Deuteronomy chapter 10, verses 17 and 18. For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward. See, God does not take rewards. It's talking about in terms of judgment. He doesn't accept bribes, okay? You know, you commit some wicked sin. You can't bribe God. Say, well, you know, I'll go soul winning for five hours today to make up for it. No, you can't make a bribe with God, okay? Now, in our court systems, I promise you you can make bribes to the judges, you know, and they'll change the sentence if you're willing to give them money. That's why, you know, rich people get away with just about anything. You know, God does not take bribes. He doesn't take rewards. Verse 18, He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, and giving him food and raiment. See, the Bible says God is a judge. It mentions many things about him, but one thing is this, he's a judge. It says he is a just judge. Look, if there's no hell, he's not a just judge. Because you have to realize that people in this world, people get away with crimes like murder, with being a pedophile, with wicked crimes, and never get caught. There must be a hell to balance right and wrong. That's the only thing that makes sense. If there is no hell, then you know what? God is not a just judge. But the Bible says that he executes the judgment of the fatherless and widow. Now, look at this. If he does not, if there is no hell, he's not a just judge, he hasn't balanced this. He's not executing judgment. You look at these wicked pedophiles, they get away with anything. They spend like two years in jail and they're out of jail. If there is no hell to balance right and wrong, God is not just. We need hell simply for the Savior. There must be a hell. It makes perfect logical sense anyway. If there's a heaven, there's got to be a hell. Now, here in the Philippines, you're not going to have too many people that are going to argue with that. Obviously, if there's a heaven, there's got to be a hell. Most people believe that. But there's a lot of people that will walk around and say, well, you know, Jehovah's Witness, well, you can spend paradise on earth, but there's no hell. You just burn up out of existence. You're just destroyed. That doesn't make any sense. So what about the wicked person that never gets caught for all their crimes? That's the God you believe in? Because that God is not a just judge. See, the Bible says God is a just judge, and when it comes to the necessity of hell, it's a necessity for the Savior to balance right and wrong. Look, when people die that are unsaved and go to hell, some of them are going to burn more than other people. You know, for example, you look at these wicked priests here in the Philippines, these Catholic priests all around the world, which at least 99% of them, I mean, our president said over 90%, or 90% was his estimate were pedophiles. It's like, I think he underestimated, but it's like, you know, hey, amen, I agree. You know, they're a bunch of monsters. That's the truth. And look, they're going to be judged and held more accountable than the average church member that grows up Catholic that never believes, never gets saved. They will be held more accountable. Why? Because they did vicious, malicious, and disgusting crimes that no normal person would do. There must be a hell to balance right and wrong. And if you commit great sins and really exceedingly wicked sins, you're going to be judged more harshly than someone who just grows up being deceived and never gets saved. Obviously, going to hell at all is a huge punishment. But you know what? Some people are going to burn more than other people. Turn to James 4. James 4. Now, obviously, nobody's going to burn worse than the devil will. You know, people have this idea that the devil's ruling hell, and I want to go there, it's such a cool place, you know, go down there to be with my homies or whatever. Look, you know, the devil is going to be tortured more than anybody in hell. He's going to suffer more than anyone because no one was more wicked than the devil. James 4, notice verse 11. Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brethren judges his brother speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law. But if thou judgeth the law, thou art not a doer of the law but a judge. There is one lawgiver who is able to save and to destroy who art thou that judgeth another. The Bible says there is one lawgiver, okay? God's the one who knows what's happened. He balances right and wrong. Look, if I got into an argument with someone, I promise you on the two sides of the story, my perspective was they were wrong, their perspective is going to be I'm wrong. Right? That's why we leave it in God's hands to know how to balance right and wrong. And when you look at these evil, wicked, false prophets that are in this country that are getting away with all these terrible things and preaching wicked heresy, quite honestly, the only thing we can really do is go so away and get churches started. We can't really change this system. It is what it is at this point, but we can leave it in God's hands that when those people die, they're going to suffer so badly in hell for wickedness. And these false prophets are exceedingly wicked in this country and they're going to pay for their wickedness. But we can't do anything about it. I can't be that judge that's going to execute judgment. I'll get executed myself if I try to execute judgment. That's just reality. But you know what? God, He sees what's happening. He knows who His children are and He knows who these wicked reprobates are and He will judge fairly. Why? Because God is a just judge. He sees everything that happens. Sometimes you just got to leave it in God's hands to balance right and wrong. James 5. And in James 5, starting in verse number 7, the Bible reads, Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husband and men waited for the precious fruit of the earth and hath long patience for it until he received the early and latter rain. Be also patient. Establish your hearts for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest he be condemned. Behold, the judge standeth before the door. Well, God knows what's happening. The judge stands before their door. We need to just be patient and put it in God's hands. God will execute right and wrong. You look at this country and it surprises people when they visit here. Why? The LGBT is bigger here than in America. It surprises people. I mean, they're shocked when you tell them that. And it's like, why don't you talk to the people that are here in April for the missions trip? And it's like, it starts to become normal seeing a guy dressed up like a woman. All of a sudden you say, wow, it's everywhere here. It is everywhere here. That's reality. And you look at that, we know the wickedness that goes along with that, don't we? We're well aware of that. You know what? We can look there and get really angry about it and we should be angry, but you know what? We still have to be able to hold our temper back and let God deal with that. Amen. Because we can't execute the judgment there. It just is what it is. We have to rely on God to do that. We can preach the truth and get people saved and warn people about what the Bible says, but when it comes to the vice gondas that are out there, I can't do anything about it. Why? Because he's got millions of dollars, he's really famous, and I'll be the one who goes to jail, not him. That's the reality. Now, we know what he is. Do you know the Bible? You know what he is and people like him. We know how bad of people that they are, but you know what? We can't do anything about it. There is a judge, though, who knows how bad they are. There is a judge. I was in Arizona one time. I used to be a public high school teacher and there was an event we had to go to for the community and there was this person that I saw that was wearing a shirt. It was a woman, as we call a tomboy here. That's what you call it here in the Philippines. But she was wearing this shirt. It had one word on it, recruiter, and it had a picture of a rainbow down below. I looked at that. I was so angry because I knew exactly what that meant and she was bold about it. You're able to be bold and just write that and we know what she's saying. Nobody else has a problem with it. They have a problem with us for condemning that. It's like, man, you feel like you're living in the twilight zone, like in a dream world. It's like, is this real? But that's the reality. We can't do anything about it. Now, there was a day where that was considered wicked all across the world, but that's not the way it is anymore. When it comes to issues like this or these false prophets, we have to just leave that up to God because we can't do anything about it. We'll do everything we can to get all these Catholics saved. We'll do everything we can to get people in these false cults saved, but you know what? We can't really do anything to these false prophets, but there is a judge that standeth before the door who will execute judgment. He's a just judge and he will balance the scales of right and wrong. Somebody might get away with this wickedness and this life, but they're not going to get away with it forever. That ought to be kind of encouraging to us when we get frustrated with some of these false prophets. Some of these people really evil people and we can't do much about it, but you know what? God's a just judge and he will balance right and wrong. Hell is a necessity for the Savior to balance right and wrong. Let's turn to Revelation 20. In Revelation 20 it says in verse 11, And I saw a great white throne in him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead small and great stand before God, and the books were opened and another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works. Now, let me just say this, and I think most everyone here is aware of this, but there's two judgments. The Bible talks about the great white throne judgment, where people that never believed, they will be judged for everything they've ever done wrong. We as believers, none of our sins will ever be accounted against us. We'll get rewards for the things we did. We'll be judged according to this book that we did good things and we'll get rewards. None of our sins will ever be brought up. But here in Revelation 20, you're seeing the great white throne judgment of people that never believed on Jesus Christ, and they're going to spend forever in hell, and they will be judged according to their works in verse 13. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them, and they were judged every man according to their works. Now, here's what you have to understand. None of these people are saved being judged according to their works. See, if you choose to be judged according to your works, God will judge you that way. You say, I think I can get to heaven based on how good I am. Okay, well, God will judge you based on your works then, and you're going to be very guilty because he says all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone. But since he's judging them based on their works, it's not like he's looking at their work and saying, okay, you all go to hell. No, he's giving them a proper judgment for how bad they're going to burn forever, okay? They're being judged according to their works, and for each and every sin, they're going to pay for it. The Bible talks about the greater sin. These sins that are more exceedingly wicked than other sins. And these people that go to hell, they'll be judged by the just judge who sees everything they do. Our court systems are never going to be just. No matter what country you look in, they're never going to be just. Why? Because the love of money is the root of all evil, and the people that own those systems have a lot of money. They're bad people. We talked about that at our church when we preached through Psalms 1, right? We talked about soul winners versus children of the devil. They're not going to hide positions. They're the ones giving the counsel, making the judgments. It just is what it is. But, you know, there is a just judge who will judge verily. Turn to John 3. So hell is a necessity simply for the Savior, but not only for the Savior, but also for the sinner, okay? Now we're going to look at pretty much the most common verses when it comes to preaching the gospel. And just think outside the box for a second. Just pretend that, you know, somebody just doesn't believe in hell. Think about whether or not you can get this person saved if they just won't believe in hell. They refuse to believe in hell. And when I preach the gospel, right after I show them they're guilty, I'm showing them Revelation 20 and 21. And if they're not willing to believe that there's a hell, they're never going to get saved. Because people get saved if they choose to believe the Bible. If they choose to reject the Bible, then you know what? You're not going to get saved. But think about this. We're turning to John 3, a very, very famous passage. Look at these verses. Verse 15. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. Okay, perishing would be going to hell. So you either have eternal life or eternal damnation, eternal death, the second death. Should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God not sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned, but He that believeth not is condemned already, because He hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Notice in all these verses, hell is woven into these verses. It talks about hell. Nobody could walk away and say, well, I believe in Jesus, but I don't believe there's any condemnation. I mean, you don't believe the Bible, then. You can't get saved and say there is no hell, because every single salvation verse we're going to show is going to speak about a judgment. John 3, it's just very clear. You're going to either perish, you're either going to have spiritual death or spiritual life. John 3, verse 36. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life, and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on Him, which means it's forever God's wrath abides on Him. Look, the people that are in hell, God does not love them anymore. God's wrath abides on those people. Now, He did love them. God so loved the world, He died for their sins, He wanted them to get saved, but you know what? They rejected, rejected, and you know what? When you go to hell, His wrath is abiding on you. He's angry that you didn't believe, and you're paying for your sins in hell because you rejected the pain that Jesus Christ made. God's wrath abides on them. Where does it abide on them in? It abides on them in hell. If there was no hell, how is it abiding on them? But it says God's wrath abideth on them. Turn to Acts 16. Now, I'm glad that here in the Philippines, I really don't run into people too often that say, you know what? I don't believe in hell. You know, pretty much, you'll run into that in America a lot, which is kind of frustrating. It's like, what are you talking about? It's like, of course there's a hell. But here in the Philippines, most everyone believes in it, and it's all throughout the Bible. Acts 16, verses 30 and 31. And brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved and I house. And he's telling them, they need to be saved. What's the implication? They're being saved from something. Okay? They're being saved from hell. That's what the Bible's saying. Now, this might surprise some of you. One of the guys at our church used to go to a church, and he preached on hell. He was told he wasn't allowed to preach. I love this story because it's so unique, and it's like, this is so bizarre that there's no way he's making this up. But he preached at the church, and he talked about how when people die, they go to hell. And then he was told he wasn't allowed to preach there anymore because this Baptist church, the best church in the area, said, We don't believe anybody goes to hell when they die. We believe they soul sleep until the great white throw judgment. Baptist church in the Philippines. We're not overstating when we say there are no churches here in Metro Manila. I mean, it's not like there's all these great churches right around the corner, and it's just like, we're just a little bit, this is not America where there's plenty of IFB churches that might not be like this, but they're still preaching the gospel. They still have the right gospel. They don't even believe in hell. When you die, you know what I mean? I mean, what about Luke 16? It's like, are you kidding me? I mean, you know Luke 16? I mean, I'm getting ahead of myself. We're going to be talking about that, but it's like, isn't Luke 16 in your Bible? I mean, what are they doing to these NIVs these days? I mean, they're just taking out whole chapters now? I mean, but it says you're being saved in Acts 16. The implication is you're being saved from something. Right? What are you being saved from? You're being saved from hell, if you believe on Jesus Christ. Turn to Romans 6. Romans 6. And in Romans 6, verse 23, a very famous passage, very famous scripture for sowing. It says, verse 23, for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life. The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord. And so the Bible says the wages of sin is death. Because of our sin, we earn death. Now, obviously, we know we're going to physically die one day, but this is mainly contrasting eternal life versus eternal death. Eternal life versus eternal damnation. And what we earn as our sin is spiritual death where we will be judged and paid for all of our sins. The wages of sin is death. Okay? Now, the Bible talks about in Revelation 20 the second death. And it talks about being tormented day and night forever and ever. No. So it's not that you just die and you're out of existence. No, it says forever and ever. Okay? So obviously, we know that. But all these verses, it talks about a judgment. All these verses we use for soul winning, it implies hell. Now, we talk about hell earlier in the conversation, but even in these salvation verses, it shows you're being saved from something. Right. It only makes sense. Common sense would tell you that. Turn to Acts 24, verse 24, And so, hell is a necessity for the sinner because you're not going to get saved without believing there's a hell. Okay? But not only because you can't be saved without believing in hell. And people like Billy Graham, you know Billy Graham stated before he went to hell that he didn't believe in hell? It's like, I wonder if you believe in it now, buddy. Because it's like, how could you possibly read this Bible and walk away and say there is no hell? And he's like, I don't know. And he's like, I don't know. And he's like, You know, when I first got saved in college, the first year after I got saved, I didn't really read this much, but I read a lot of, you know, Christian books. And there's this famous book by this guy named Lee Strobel. Who's heard of Lee Strobel? The case for faith? The case for Christ? Anybody? Man, I'm dating myself. I'm obviously a lot older than I realize. It's a long time. This book was written like 15 years ago or so. But I remember, you know, being saved and thinking, oh, you know, it'd be so great to try to win these atheists to the Lord. And it's like, man, I was like, if I just read this book, it would teach me how, because he was an atheist or agnostic that supposedly converted. Okay. And I remember that he was going around to all these religious leaders, all these Christian leaders, and he was talking about hell because hell was just too unfair to him. It didn't seem right to him that there was a hell. Okay. We went to this one religious leader. I don't remember who the religious leader was. But the guy said, you know, actually, a lot of the experts think it's just symbolic when it says they're tormenting the day and night forever and ever and it talks about fire over and over. I mean, it talks about hell like three times as much as heaven. And he was so touched by that, he's like, well, I can believe in a God that doesn't send anybody to hell. But you know what? That's not the God of the Bible. And he can sit here and say, well, you know, there's no hell. You know, people cannot get saved unless they believe it. Okay. You say, well, but you know, you have to understand also, hell's a necessity for the sinner because when we preach the gospel to them, hell motivates them to get saved. It's not just that it merely exists. It motivates them to get saved. Now turn to Acts 24. Are you in Acts 24? Acts 24, look at verse number 24. And after certain days when Felix came with his wife, Jerusalem, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, Felix trembled and answered, go thy way for this time. When I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. It says he's trembling. Why is he trembling? He's afraid. He heard about the judgment to come and he's afraid. Why? Because he doesn't believe. As far as we know, he's in hell today because he called for a more convenient season. That season probably never came because when you preach the gospel to people and they say, well, later on, the word that's sown in their heart is probably going to be taken away. They're probably never going to believe. They're probably never going to get saved. Now, I hope he did, but all indications for him and King Agrippa a few chapters later is they never did get saved. But when he heard about the judgment to come, he started to tremble. He was afraid that Paul might be telling the truth. And he didn't believe it, but he was afraid he was going to hell. See, hell motivates people. You know the reason why I got saved? I vividly remember. I was afraid I was going to die and go to hell. That's why I was willing to listen to the gospel because I was afraid. And then all of a sudden I got saved and I was so thankful. Afterwards, I felt this feeling of relief immediately after I got saved. And I was so thankful to be saved. People that are unsaved out there, they are afraid that they're going to die and go to hell. Now, they might not tell you that, but I promise you it's the truth. For two years, I remember just every night just thinking, man, I hope God will forgive me. I hope he'd let me into heaven because I just didn't know that I had faith. Ninety-nine plus percent of people in this country, they believe a false gospel. They believe in Catholicism. They believe in all these various weird cults. They don't believe the right thing. We'll do our best and when we show them hell, that's going to motivate them to get saved. I was preaching the gospel one time in Ohio. I don't remember if it was at the university at Akron or Kent State. My friend brother, Jeff Utzler, he went to those areas a lot and I was up there visiting one weekend and we went to one and I was preaching the gospel to this guy and I started the conversation and I didn't think the guy really wanted to listen to me. It was one of those where I was like, well, he says he's listening but I feel like I'm wasting my time. I was going through it and it just seemed like he was a really smart guy, really intellectual. He thought he knew something and I think he was secretly mocking me in his head. I went through the verses and I'm explaining it and he was just kind of a really confident guy and really arrogant. He knew what he was talking about and I remember just all of a sudden it was about 10 minutes into the conversation he just switched like that from being very confident to being very much like Felix. All of a sudden he was afraid. Now, he didn't believe what I was saying. He didn't get saved but all of a sudden he started to get afraid and he's like, I don't want to talk about this anymore and he basically just yelled at me and I was like, alright, it doesn't change anything. I was like, the Bible says you must believe and if you don't believe this you're going to go to hell and this sort of guy all of a sudden being like this. Why? The word of God is power. But I'm saying what? We must talk about hell because people like that would never get saved unless we brought up hell. It scares them into reality. Otherwise, they'd never get saved. Look, if we preached the gospel and never talked about hell, this is what would happen. We would have a lot of people pray with us and none of them would get saved. We must show them that there is a hell. I remember when I first started to preach the gospel and I didn't really want to do it. So I was part of Campus Crusade and their method was going through the four spiritual laws and you start off and just say, you know, God has a wonderful plan for your life. So I'd follow this method and it's like a five-minute conversation and I remember when I first started doing it because I was kind of naive. I was going soloing in the mountain layer of West Virginia University and an hour and a half I preached the gospel seven times and had eight saved. I thought they got saved at the time. People don't get saved if you just avoid talking about hell and avoid talking about that you must change what you believe and believe on Jesus Christ. They don't get saved unless you're very clear about that. People will not get saved. It's a necessity for the sinner otherwise they won't get saved. It scares them and then they're willing to believe on Jesus Christ. Obviously not all of them but some of them are. Turn to Psalm 66. And so hell's a necessity for the Savior. It's a necessity for the sinner. But you know hell is also a necessity for the spiritual institutions. What do I mean by that? Well one, I'm trying to make this an illiterate circle. So spiritual institutions. But basically if people don't believe in hell they start believing some really weird things about the afterlife in terms of like their version of a judgment. In this country what's the weird thing people believe in? Purgatory. Right? Most people in this country believe in purgatory. They believe that after you die no matter whether you believe no matter how good you are you're going to burn for a little while to help cleanse up some of your sin. That's why they sell Jesus on a cross because they just don't get it. They believe in purgatory that when you die you can't simply go to heaven. But you've got to cleanse out some of your sin as you go. Well in Psalm 66 this is risky on my part because I'm going to give you their heavyweight verse. I'm afraid half of you are going to leave to go back to your Catholic roots or something after I give you this. Psalm 66 let's look at the big argument they have in verses 10 through 12. Verse 10 For thou, O God, hast proved us. Thou hast tried us as silver has tried. Thou hast brought us into the net. Thou hast laid its affliction upon our loins. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water but thou brought us us out into a wealthy place. So they say well you know God's brought us through fire which means everybody goes to burn for a little while before they get sick. Now does that look like a really solid argument? No. The first problem with this is he's alive. Okay? He's writing this he's not dead. I mean if what they're saying is true then that means he'd be writing from up in heaven like man you brought me through the fire and now I'm here. Look he's still alive. I mean that's the best argument you have. It just shows that the Catholics they don't really believe this. They're not basing what they believe in this Bible at all. That's their big argument. We'll turn to Psalms 103. Psalms 103. All it's saying is we go through trials in life. Yeah you know God's led us through I mean some through the water some through the flood but if we're gonna be saved it's all through the blood. Right? Even on Jesus Christ. Look yeah we all go through trials in life. That's all he's saying. Every single person goes through trials. Psalms 103 verse 12 As far as the east is from the west so far hath you removed our transgressions. Amen. See you know you start going east you're still going east you're still going east it never means west. As far as the east is from the west because they never meet. It's the same with our salvation. Our sins are completely gone when we get saved. Our future sins are wiped away. They're done. He's never gonna bring them up. They're done. We're on our way to heaven. We don't have to spend a little bit of time burning. Spend a little bit of time you know in purgatory before we make it into heaven. No you know your soul is already perfect. We have our soul we have our body. Our bodies are gonna sin until the day we die but our soul is perfect immediately when we believe on Jesus Christ. It's completely cleansed. We have no sins that we have to account for. We'll go to heaven. Turn to Matthew 5. Matthew 5. Is that their number one argument from what I saw? Let's look at their number two argument. Okay. Let's see if this one you know maybe this is giving me the nail in the coffin and you guys leave after this one. Matthew 5. And in verse 25. It says in verse 25 agree with thine adversary quickly whilst thou art in the way with him lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge and the judge deliver thee to the officer and now be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee thou shalt by no means come out then till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. So what they say is well the prison is referring to purgatory and you're not getting out of there until you pay the uttermost farthing. Now that's just ridiculous. If you want to just think everything in the Bible is symbolic you can make it mean anything you want. Okay. But you know the Bible is very clear in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 7. In the Sermon on the Mount it's gonna disprove what they say in Matthew 5. Cause in Matthew 7 verse 13 Matthew 7 verse 13 It says in Matthew 7 verse 13 Enter ye in at the straight gate for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction and many there be which go in there at because straight is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life and few there be that find it. There's only two places. There's the broad way. There's the narrow way. There's the second death. There's eternal life. There's hell. There's heaven. There's no indication of a purgatory anywhere in the Bible. Say well why do they even have to be in the broad way? They're not gonna be in the broad way. They're not gonna be in the broad way. They're not gonna be in the broad way. Say well why do they believe in a purgatory? Because it makes them money. Cause it used to make them a lot of money. It's like well we can pray for your relative to get out of purgatory. Just give us 20 bucks or it's probably a lot of money back then. But just give us an amount of money and we'll pray for them to get out of purgatory. That's the reason why it exists. And so all of a sudden they form their doctrine and then they say well let's come up with the best verse we can get. Well those are their arguments. Those are the best verses. You ever wonder how do they get purgatory? I mean that's their argument right there. Another weird belief in the afterlife in terms of people that well just weird belief in the afterlife is reincarnation. Now turn to John 9. John 9. Now what's happening over these last couple years the last 10 years is the religions of the world are starting to come back together. Right? Catholic Church has created so many harlots but they're all coming back tomorrow. And so what they try to do is combine all these religions together. And so what they're starting to do now is all these holy books are teaching the same thing according to them. So they're weird beliefs they try to morph into the Bible like reincarnation. Okay? Well let's look at one of their big arguments for reincarnation here in John 9 verses 1 and 2. And it says in John 9 verse 1. So this man was born blind. And his disciples asked him saying master who did sin? This man or his parents that he was born blind. So think about the question that they're asking. They're saying this man was born blind. Did he sin? Is that why he was born blind? Now think about that. That's a dumb question. It's like you're saying he sinned in the womb. He committed some terrible sin in the womb that God made him blind. Like that's what they're asking. I mean what a stupid question. Right? And so what people that believe in reincarnation will say is well you know obviously then he must have lived you know in another life. And that's what they meant. No it's just people ask dumb questions sometimes. That's what we see here. They're asking a dumb question. Now I like Jesus' response though in verse 3. Because Jesus answered neither hath his man sin nor his parents but that the works of God should be made manifest. You know what Jesus does not rebuke them for asking something stupid. He does say man you are so bobo. Right? He doesn't do that. Yeah he's long suffering. Sometimes in life you know we're all going to say stupid things. And they just be long suffering with people if they say something stupid or they think something stupid. That's the way Jesus is here. Because this is about the dumbest question you can possibly think of. This guy was born blind because he's such a bad sinner. And so people that are trying to morph reincarnation into the Bible they will teach this. Another example of weird beliefs on the afterlife is some people believe that you know what if you are a really rude person in this life that you're going to be have people be really rude to you in hell. Like it's not a literal fire. They don't want to believe in that. But you know if you're an obnoxious bully then you'll get bullied in hell for all eternity. Just these weird beliefs. You know these are really strange beliefs but did you know that the Baptists have a really weird belief in the afterlife as well? See hell is a necessity for spiritual institutions including the Baptists here because Baptists have their version of purgatory. And it's called this Abraham's bosom garbage that the Bible doesn't teach. Turn to Revelation 13. And you say well what are you talking about about Abraham's bosom? You know I thought bosom was a body part. You're right. It is a body part. But what people believe is that when people died in the Old Testament this is what most Baptists the vast majority of Baptists believe is that when most people died well not most when anybody died in the Old Testament they didn't get to go to heaven. You say well why didn't they get to go to heaven? Well because Jesus did not die yet. He hadn't paid for their sins so they would have to go to hell. Okay you say wait a minute. People that were saved went to hell. Well they went to the good part of hell. Because apparently you know hell has like you know a couple parts. It's got the part where they're burning and right beside that they're like on a miniature golf course just in paradise over there. That's what according to the Baptists that's what they believe that there's a good part to hell. Now the average person you talk to and you ask them what does hell make you think of? They're not going to think it's a good place. Can you imagine you know a soul winning in the Old Testament. You know if you would just believe in the coming Savior you'll get to go to hell forever. I mean that's so stupid. But they say well Jesus did not die yet. Well turn to Revelation 13. You say well how did they go to heaven if Jesus hadn't paid for their sins? Revelation 13 verses 7 and 8. And it was given unto them to make war with the saints and to overcome them and power was given to him given him over all kindreds and tongues and nations and all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him whose names are not written in the book of life of the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. We must understand Jesus or God is outside of time. He's not within our time system. God has no beginning. He has no end. And God knew from the very beginning that you know what Jesus was going to die and pay for our sins. It was the plan from the beginning. It's not like this dispensationalist say where basically you know man screwed it up and God had to keep changing his mind because he didn't know what to do. No I mean his plan was the lamb slain will have sinned and come short of the word of God. We're all sinners and that was the plan. Turn to Acts 2. And so my question is if everybody went to hell in the Old Testament what was Elijah doing? Because I mean he went up into heaven. Was he just kind of hanging in outer space just kind of seeing what's going on? And God's like sorry you know you're gonna have to just wait here by the pearly gates before he lets you in. I mean that doesn't make any sense. I mean it's clear he went up. He went to heaven when he died. Why? Because it's always been the same. There's heaven and there's hell. In Acts chapter 2 verse 31. Now the reason why they don't want to think that anybody went to heaven is because what they don't want to do is think that Jesus Christ when he died his soul went to hell. Now look at what it says in Acts 2 verse 31 about Jesus Christ. He's seeing this before the stake of the resurrection of Christ that his soul was not left in hell neither his flesh did see corruption. And see they don't want to believe that Jesus Christ that his soul went to hell so all of a sudden they've decided well there's a good hell. There's a good part of hell. But it's very clear in this verse that his soul was not left in hell. But I want you to understand something. The way this is worded is your flesh seeing corruption is that a good thing or a bad thing? Is it good or bad if your flesh corrupts? It's bad isn't it? It's not good if your flesh corrupts. And so when he's mentioning two things his soul was not left in hell neither his flesh did see corruption. These are both very bad things that are happening. Okay? It's a very bad place going to hell. His soul was not left in hell neither his flesh did see corruption. Because of the fact that he did rise again his flesh did not corrupt because he was dead less than four days. Lazarus was dead four days and behold he's naked. Jesus was dead three days. His flesh didn't corrupt. Okay? And his soul was not left in hell either. So it would not make sense in here when it says hell to say well this is a good hell. Not only is there nowhere in the Bible that would say that it just wouldn't make sense with the grammar here in this verse. Now turn to Luke 16. And in Luke 16 this is their big argument for believing in this Abraham's blossom of nonsense that when people died in the Old Testament they went to the good part of hell. Okay? Now I got saved when I was 18 years old and if somebody had told me you know there's a good part to hell I would have just made fun of them. I'm like are you kidding me? Because everybody knows that hell is a terrible place. Yeah. Suggesting that there's a good hell it's like are you kidding me? I mean I'll be honest you know these Baptists need to start listening to the Pope because the Catholics got this right. They understand Jesus went to hell. They got that part right. And the Baptists they just don't want to believe that Jesus went to hell. Well you know what I'm glad that he did go to hell to pay for my sins because he's saving us from that judgment. Luke 16 verses 23 and 26 And in hell he lift up his eyes being in torments and see it Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom and he cried and said Father Abraham have mercy on me and send Lazarus and he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said son remember that thou in thy lifetime receiveth us like good things and likewise Lazarus evil things but now he is comforted and now are tormented. And beside all this between us and you there is a great golf fix so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot neither can they pass to us that would come from thence. And so in this story you're basically seeing a conversation between heaven and hell. Now here's the thing if Abraham's bosom is true basically what they're saying is this was a common occurrence that people just used to talk to each other from heaven from hell to paradise all the time that's what they teach. This is what what God's doing here is giving us a special glimpse into hell. Okay. He's giving us an idea the mind of an unbeliever who dies and goes to hell forever. This was not a common occurrence that he allows us to actually see this but you notice in this verse where it says there's a great golf fix in verse 26 there's a great golf between heaven and hell. Okay. So those in hell they're never gonna be able to go to heaven and those in heaven they're never gonna be able to go to hell. So Baptist would like to point to this Baptist purgatory in this verse in this passage but there's so much scripture in the Bible that would say that when somebody's saved whether it's in the Old Testament or new they go straight to heaven and if they're not saved they go straight to hell. And so in this passage it's interesting though because it says in verse 26 they which would pass from hence to you cannot. You see when people die and they go to hell they're never gonna be able to go to heaven. But you know what we have the opportunity to spare people from going to hell. Amen. They want people to talk to their loved ones. In this story the rich man is asking for somebody to talk to his brothers. He's asking for somebody but you know what? He's not gonna send him to rise again or Lazarus because once you go to heaven you're there forever. Right. See hell's a necessity not only for the savior and for the sinner and for the spiritual institutions it's a necessity for the soul winner. Hell's a necessity for all of us. You know why? Because hell is what motivates us to rest the gospel. Look at Luke 16 verse 27. Then he said I pray thee therefore father that thou would ascend him to my father's house for I have five brethren that he may testify unto them lest they also come unto this place of torment. So he's pleading for him to go and then tell his brothers Abraham saith unto them they have Moses in the prophets let them hear them. He said nay father Abraham but if one went unto them from the dead they will repent. He said unto them if they hear not Moses in the prophets neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead. In verses 30 and 31 it mentions the word repent. In verse 31 it clarifies when it says will they be persuaded because what it's saying by repenting is changing their mind. They're persuaded of what they believe in Catholicism to believing the right thing. It's not talking about repentance of sins. What it's saying is that you know what he's saying that hey they'll change their mind they'll repent and he says no they won't be persuaded they won't change their mind though one rose from the dead. Obviously later on we know that Jesus Christ did rise from the dead. But you know we see this story in the Bible. I believe the main story here is not only to give us a picture of what hell is like but for us on a daily basis to know this story and realize this rich man is in hell forever. And nobody can do anything about that. That's a done deal. You look and see and this is not a parable he uses real names this is a real story. This person is in hell forever. And that's the sad reality for 99% of people. And he wants people to preach the gospel to his brothers. Well who's going to preach the gospel to his brothers? We are. We're the only people to do it. See hell is a necessity for the soul winner. Because you know what quite honestly sometimes you know you just kind of get cold hearted and you just kind of just don't feel like going soul winner. You just kind of feel like going about your week and the attitude comes across all of us from time to time that you know what we're doing more than 99% of Christians. Right? It's like I've already won more souls to the Lord than 99% of Christians will ever win. So you know what I've done enough God I can just throw in the towel. You know we can never throw in the towel. Because the sad reality is there's people like this all the time that would just beg and plead for somebody to preach the gospel to their relatives. Turn to Hebrew 7 or 11. Hebrews chapter 11 verse 7. I mean I would say that the vast majority if not all of us in this room we know people we know family members that you know what they're in hell right now. I can say that. You know my granddad you know he was agnostic or atheist until the day he died. You know you say well you know God made an exception for him. No he didn't. If you don't believe on Jesus Christ you go to hell. And you know what he would have never wanted to listen to the gospel here in this life but I'm sure he changed his mind once he died and went to hell. That's the reality. You know what hell is a motivator for us. It's a necessity for us to think about hell and realize it's a real place. You know I was thinking about this sermon last night because I like to review and practice my sermons and I was just sitting down in the chair just trying to think about hell for a little while. Hell is kind of unimaginable. It's kind of hard I mean we know it's real. It's what the Bible teaches. It's really hard to comprehend though hell. I mean you just think about that 99% of this world is going to die and go to hell. It's almost unimaginable. It's hard for us to even really take it in. It's hard for us to comprehend it. I don't think we'll ever be able to fully comprehend it. That's what the Bible teaches. Hebrews 11 verse 7 By faith Noah being warned of God of things not seen as yet moved with fear prepared an ark to the saving of his house by the which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. What is it that motivated Noah? He was moved with fear. You know what we need to be moved with fear. We need to realize hell is a real place and be moved by that, be motivated by that. I don't want to see anybody go down there. Just think when you walk around here there's so many people here in Manila just look around and realize almost all of these people are going to die and burn in hell forever. We must be moved with fear. We can never just become desensitized to the reality of hell. We need to always remember the reality of hell. Turn to Jude 1. I've said this before and this is the truth that the reason why I started preaching the gospel was because of the fact I didn't want to see people go to hell. I didn't necessarily have an interest to not be worldly at the time. I didn't have an interest to quit listening to rock music or things like that. But I was motivated to see people get saved. That's really the start of everything because when you realize hell is a real place and you don't want to see people go to hell it's going to change who you are. The question all of our family members want to know, right? They ask you why are you so extreme? Why are you going all the way to this church? I mean there's a Baptist church on every corner. It's not the same thing. We're moved by fear. Jude 1 verses 22 and 23. And if some have compassion making a difference and others saved with fear pulling them out of the fire hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. See the Bible says we ought to have compassion on people and then it says others save with fear pulling them out of the fire. Now we talked about how the unsaved person they need help to make them realize they need to get saved. But you have to understand that most people don't realize they're in a burning building. Most people do not realize they're drowning and on their way to hell. Now we can try to motivate them and show them help but you know what? Oftentimes they don't get moved with fear but we ought to be moved with fear doing everything we can to rescue them from going to hell. We ought to be moved with fear. We ought to save them with fear. Not only that we're showing them about hell but that we are moved by fear. Amen. We save them with fear because we're afraid. We don't want to see them go to hell. Why don't we go soul winning every week? Because we're afraid of hell. We don't want to see people die and go to hell. We're moved with fear. And you know what? If hell doesn't motivate people what is going to motivate you in life? I mean you say well you know I go to a church that preaches the gospel isn't that good enough? No it's not. We're all expected to preach the gospel and last I checked it's still 99 plus percent in this country and it's unsaved. You say yeah we got 400 people saved in 2018. That's a small drop of water in the bucket my friend. How often do you run into a saved person out soul winning here? Not very often. We're getting a lot of people saved. That's a small drop in the bucket. We need multitudes of churches started in tons of soul winning until the day we die because there's going to be a lot of work to do until the day we die. So what can we learn about this? Number one, that as a recap you know hell is a necessity for the Savior. How can you balance right and wrong if there is no hell? It doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Hell is a necessity for the sinner though. They must believe in hell to be saved. They can't say well you know I believe that you know it's just by Jesus but I don't believe anyone goes to hell. I've never run into that scenario in my entire life. If they're willing to believe on Jesus and believe it's eternal life only in him, they're going to believe hell is a real place. Hell is a necessity for us to remember this, to keep this in mind. There's a reason why we're doing this missions trip. Because of the fact there is a hell and most people are going there and if we don't do work who's doing it? You say well I go so many more than you know I go so many for four hours every week. We ought to do as much as we can until the day we die because there's a lot of unsaved people out there. Every single one of us. Let's go to the word of prayer. Dear heavenly father, thank you for allowing us to be here today and help us to remember this sermon and obviously we know hell is real but honestly this is more us than anybody else because we're the ones that are going to be the soul winners and go out there and preach the gospel. Help us to be moved with fear. Help us never forget how real this is. Help us not to try to just wish it away like a lot of people do and kind of pretend it's not a reality. The truth is that 99 plus percent of this country is going to die and go to hell and it's our job to go out there and preach the gospel. Help us have a great day soul winning today God but help us to have a wonderful week and get tons of people saying. We ask you to hold off the weather and we'll coach you on your own. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right, let's sing our last song. Turn your hymnals to song number 306, song number 306, Have Thine Own Way Lord. Song number 306. Song number 306 Have Thine Own Way Lord. On the first now. Ready? Have thine own way, Lord, have thine own way. Thou art the powder, I am the clay. Mold me and make me after Thy will. I am waiting, yielded and still on the second. Have thine own way, Lord, have thine own way. Search me and try me, Master today. Wire that snow, Lord, wash me just now. I see thy presence, humbly I bow on the third. Have thine own way, Lord, have thine own way. Wounded and weary, help me, I pray. Powerful power, surely is thine. Touch me and heal me, Savior divine. On the last now. Have thine own way, Lord, have thine own way. Hold on me, absolute sway. Fill me thy spirit, till all shall see. Christ only, always living in me. Where am I? Where God gave me for this day. Thank you, Father, for allowing us to be here. If I may refer to you, we ask for your paper to be called.
