Sermon Transcription
Here you are tonight, and thus far you've never taken warning. Where is hell? Hell is one heartbeat away from you without Christ. One heartbeat away from you without Christ. But the promise is, he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul, and that's the promise. You see, these voices from hell carry the message not just to the nation, but to you. In reality, and I hope that God will bear this into your heart tonight, in reality, what you hear from the destruction of the lost is not just voices from hell. What you hear is the voice of God. And if you have heard the voice tonight, harden not your heart. Let's bow together in prayer. Our gracious God and our Father in heaven, we thank thee that thou dost deal faithfully with our souls. We confess to thee that with every justification we are concerned for the well-being and for the future of this nation that thou hast so uniquely blessed. Gracious God, we pray for America tonight. Turn back the tide of evil, wicked perversion, and sin. O God, we pray, raise a standard of truth. Cause the fear of God to fall upon the people. Cause the fear of God to fall upon those elected to high office. Lord, give them a genuine faith in the gospel. Put a fear of God in their heart that they will not walk wittingly contrary to what is just and good. Lord, have mercy upon the nation. We cry to thee that thou wilt indeed awaken this great nation to the unspeakable evil of the blood of the poor innocents. Gracious God, we pray, rid us of the scourge of secularism that has so cursed the land. Have mercy on the land. Save America from simply becoming another of the superpowers that sink into hell. But Lord, we are also concerned about the individual. We're concerned tonight about men and women and young people in this meeting, cursed by sin, dominated by the devil, slaves of lust. Lord, we cry to thee tonight that thou would speak to young men and young women, I and men and women without reference at all to their age. Have mercy, Lord. O God, cause a deep concern. And if there are those here tonight without Christ, the world doesn't know what's going on in their heart. We can't read the deep and dark places, the chambers of imagery in the heart. But thou canst. Gracious God, we pray that thou will speak. We ask thee, O Lord, in Jesus' name, that thou will cause deep conviction, give honest confession and true repentance with faith in Jesus Christ. We were singing tonight, O Lord, Christ receiveth sinful men, even me with all my sin. O God, we pray that thou would bring the lost to Christ. We thank thee that when thou dost discover to a man or a woman the fact that they're sinners, it's good news in a way because Christ came to save sinners. Lord, give grace to seek the Lord tonight and grant that not one will leave this meeting refusing to hearken. We have heard voices from hell. Let us now hear the voice from heaven. Harden not the heart. As their heads are bowed and their eyes are closed, in a moment the meeting will be over. It stood in the ante room of eternity tonight. Before you know it, you will have gone through the door. How is it with your soul? If you're not saved, oh, I trust you'll see how much, how urgently you need to be saved. You'll get to Christ. Mr. Brim and I are here to help you. We can do nothing but point you to Christ, but we'd be happy to do that. Don't leave without the Savior. Here and your soul shall live. Come as the others leave. It is time to seek the Lord. Part us, O God, with thy blessing. Keep us in thy fear and grant that we will not lose the solemn reality of thy holy Word, we pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
