In this sermon, the speaker shares the story of his father's transformation after finding God. His father had gained wealth and position in life but was unhappy and filled with grief and fear. However, he had a life-changing encounter with God and decided to give his life to Christ. He gave up alcohol, cigarettes, and worldly pleasures and became devoted to God. The sermon then shifts to discussing the tragedy of Solomon's life, highlighting how he started off loving God but later became consumed by his love for money and sensual pleasures, leading to his downfall. The speaker also mentions another man who was revered for his conservative values but ended up in jail due to his love for money. The sermon emphasizes the importance of seeking God and avoiding the love of money.

The title, the title of my sermon here tonight, the title of my sermon here tonight is The Tragedy, The Tragedy of Solomon's Life. The Tragedy of Solomon's Life. We read in 1 Kings 2 verse 10 that David died, David died. Verse 12, Then sat Solomon upon the throne. Chapter 3 verse 3, And Solomon loved the LORD. Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father. Verse 5, And the LORD, the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream, and God said, Ask, ask what I shall give thee. Ask what I shall give thee. Verse 9, And Solomon said, Give, give thy servant an understanding heart, an understanding heart, that I may discern, may discern between good and bad, that is between good and evil, between right and wrong. Verse 10, And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this, that Solomon had asked this. Verse 12, And God said unto him, I have done, I have done according to thy words, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart. 2 Chronicles 1 verse 1, And the LORD his God was with him. The LORD his God was with him, and magnified him, that is, he honored him, he honored him exceedingly. 1 Kings 10 verse 24, And all the earth, all the earth sought to Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. 2 Chronicles 9 verse 23, And all the kings of the earth, all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear, to hear his wisdom that God, that God had put in his heart. And the queen of Sheba exclaimed in 2 Chronicles 9 verse 6, The half, the half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told to me. The half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told to me. 1 Kings 10 verse 8, Happy are thy men, she said. Happy are thy people, happy are these thy servants. Verse 9, Blessed, blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighteth in thee, which delighteth in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel, because the LORD loved Israel. Therefore made he thee king. What an incredible beginning. What an incredible beginning. But Solomon had a tragic ending. Solomon had a tragic ending. Will you? Will you? In 1 Kings 3 verse 14, God had warned him, If, if thou wilt walk in my ways to keep my statutes and my commandments, then, then, if, and then are two crucial words. If, and then are two crucial words strewn throughout the Bible, beloved, and none of us dare overlook that. But Solomon tragically kept not that which the LORD had commanded. 1 Kings 11 verse 1, But did evil in the sight of God. Verse 6, Verse 9, And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because, because his heart turned from the LORD. Now that can sadly happen to us also, beloved. That can happen to us also, beloved. The queen of Sheba had given Solomon this noble tribute. Happy are thy people with thee as their king. But they soon despaired under his eventual foolish and tyrannical reign. At his death, at his death, a weary and disillusioned nation pled with Solomon's heir apparent Rehoboam. Thy father made our yoke grievous. Now therefore, ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father and his heavy yoke that he put on us. But Rehoboam proved to be gravely foolish from the start and consequently faced the rejection of most of his people. David Wilkerson of Times Square Church, New York, said, The first thing God removes from a Christian who backslides is discernment. The first thing God removes from a Christian who backslides is discernment. That, I believe, is tragically what happened to Solomon, beloved. But why, why did such a glorious beginning end in such shame? Why did such a glorious beginning end in such shame? Now the answer, the answer to that question, I believe, is given to us. The answer to that question, I believe, is given to us in the book of Ecclesiastes. The book of Ecclesiastes, which is a staggering sermon delivered to us by Solomon himself before his death. Ecclesiastes literally translated the preacher, the preacher, contextually meaning the preacher's sermon. But in essence, it was Solomon's shameful confession in which he reflects on how he lost, how he lost the integrity of his initial pursuit of God. Have you? Has that happened to you? In chapter 1 verse 17, he confesses, I gave my heart, I gave myself to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. In other words, what was I thinking of? What was I thinking of when I buried integrity and single-mindedness in my pursuit of God? It was madness doing that, for it only brought shame and sorrow and weariness to my life. Now the first thing, the first thing he confessed doing that he now realized was madness, was literal madness. The first thing he confessed doing that he now realized was literal madness was when he buried, when he buried his initial pursuit of God-imparted knowledge in order to live a God-glorifying life. When he buried his initial pursuit of God-imparted knowledge in order to live a God-glorifying life and stooped to embrace a carnal pursuit of prideful knowledge in order to live a self-glorifying life. Chapter 1 verse 13, I gave my heart initially to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all things. But then, verse 16, I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I have gotten more wisdom than all that have been before me. Yes, I initially gave my heart to no wisdom, but then stooped to what I now realize was madness in doing and folly. And in chapter 12 verse 12, he sorrowfully cried out in disillusionment of making many books, there's no end. And much study is a weariness of the flesh, much study that was not sought for edifying, but self-glorifying swiftly became a weariness of the flesh to him. So the first thing he confesses, having tragically stooped to that he now looked upon as madness doing, was when he buried his initial transparent and humble and noble pursuit of God-imparted revelation and knowledge in order to live a God-glorifying life, and foolishly embraced a prideful pursuit of knowledge in order to live a self-glorifying life. And in doing that, in doing that, he lost every intention of implementing or living those God-imparted truths. I want to repeat that. In doing that, he lost every intention of implementing or living those God-imparted truths. And we all must beware here, beloved, we all must beware here, for all integrity is immediately crippled the moment we cease to live only for God's smile. And this was Solomon's first fearful warning to all who would read this, his heartbreaking confessional sermon. All integrity is immediately crippled the moment we cease to live only for God's smile. I have known men in this world who were living encyclopedias of this book, every doctrine, every theological facet of truth, historical, church history, everything there is about Christianity, you name it, even today's movements, heretical or good or once good and now lost, he could tell you like a living encyclopedia. When I was near him, I used to say, stop, just wait, and I'd pull out papers and pens and say, now go on. He was a living encyclopedia of biblical truths, but he eventually brought great dishonor and shame upon Christendom. When it became evident that he didn't live the truth he preached, I have known men again and again who left me in awe at their knowledge, their incredible grasp and understanding as it were, but they brought great dishonor and shame upon Christendom when it became evident they didn't live the truth they preached. Now, I have no doubt that they had started with genuine humility, transparency, and integrity like Solomon, but like Solomon, they also fell fell into the trap of seeking self-glory and thereby ceased to seek grace, the grace that God would have given them to live a holy life through the knowledge they had obtained. Beloved, God is a jealous God, Exodus 20 verse 5, and his sensitivity as he sees our motives, as he sees our motives in serving him, is unnerving and fearful. I believe that the great warning to us here is that it is possible to become living encyclopedias on the truths and doctrines of the sacred book and to tragically experience no genuine desire or intention of living or implementing those truths. I believe that the great warning to us here is that it is possible to become living encyclopedias on the truths and doctrines of the sacred book and to tragically experience no genuine desire or intention of living or implementing these truths. The tragedy of a sacrificial pursuit after biblical and theological knowledge with no intention or desire to live it. I wonder what percentage of preachers alone in the evangelical pulpits of our world are guilty of this as I look at them being exposed. One by one across the world in shameful sin while they were preaching all this knowledge that impressed and left men and women in awe. Now the second thing, the second thing he sorrowfully confesses to have stooped to that led him to his making shipwreck of his spiritual life and pursuit of God was to have become consumed with a passion for wealth and materialism but once again for self-glorification. In chapter 2 verse 4 he reflected, I made me great works, I builded me houses. Verse 7, I had great possessions. Verse 8, I gathered me silver and gold. Verse 9, so I was great, I was great. Verse 10, and whatsoever my eyes desired I kept not from them. But then in verse 11, in verse 11 he sadly wrote, he wrote, I looked on all the works of my hand. I looked on all the works that my hand had wrought and behold all was vanity and vexation, weariness of spirit. Verse 17, therefore I hated life, I hated life. Then in chapter 5 verse 10, he warns us, he that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver nor he that loveth abundance would increase for this is vanity, it's worthless wasted effort that brings nothing but weariness. In 1 Timothy 6 verse 5, Paul warned us, be content with such things as you have. Verse 9, they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish and hurtful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. Verse 10, for the love of money is the root of all evil, which while some coveted after they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. I met a pastor in my country of one of the largest churches in our nation. Now what's unique about this man is his church is situated in one of the most affluent wealthy areas of southern Africa where there are millionaires upon millionaires upon millionaires and billionaires. Just to drive through there is unnerving. Here his church is situated 6,000 people. I walked into his building, the auditorium they'd built. Oh he started with six in a little cottage meeting a few years prior and then he said these words to me that undid me. Brother, the tragedy of this church is that 90 percent of all members are millionaires, a good amount are billionaires, most of which attempted suicide and I with my pastors as the church grew was taken to their hospital bed as they lie, some of them close to death, some of them hardly able to be revived after the horrific way they tried to kill themselves and I led them to Christ. I pointed them to the one that's satisfied, that fills up the gap, that no other thing you pursue or achieve. Oh there's a man in South Africa that said when I become a millionaire that's when I'll rest. You know he became a millionaire and the next day after he was declared a millionaire he committed suicide. This man said the most of this congregation came to this church as a result of us leading them to Christ as they lay half dead because wealth doesn't satisfy. You think it does. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. That's a shocking thing to find having achieved great wealth and financial success did not give them what only Christ can, peace and true happiness. My father as a little boy was in great poverty during the Great Depression. The Depression just prior to the Second World War, the world plunged into depression, that is financial recess and recession to the degree that people were committing suicide across the world daily, jumping of buildings who lost everything and couldn't provide and had to be thrown in the street. Oh recession's a terrible thing my father told me as he reflected back. He was a little boy and my daddy to help his mother because his daddy had forsaken him and his mother couldn't survive it seemed. So as a 13-year-old boy he went off to work. He found work on the streets with pick and shovel with big men hardened out in the countryside of the roads for one ceiling a week to help his mother to survive. Now my daddy said there were times the blisters on his hands broke and the blood just poured down the pick to shovel and he had tears as he trembled in pain in the cold winds blowing across but he didn't want anyone to see him crying for fear of losing this one ceiling of a week of hard labor that they let a little boy in the recession they stooped to that. They have to for people to survive. Children left school in their multitudes in our nation and across the world to keep the family alive somehow for anything they could do but daddy as he stood there began to weep and he said words that changed the course of his life forever. I will one day make money. I will one day fight my way to have wealth. I don't care what I have to do to get there. I will never see my children resort to this to stay alive. After the war daddy returned very young and worked like a slave to the degree that even the owner of the company said stop it go home you're wrong. My daddy just carried on but wouldn't obey just working. Of course they rose him up as a young man to foreman and then manager but worse than that daddy started studying. He found these books from Europe and he studied through the nights working like a slave through the day studying right through the nights. Mommy said you're going to die. No one can survive this. What are you doing? I have to. Don't stop. He left everyone behind in his profession across the nation. He just put him up more and more authority more and more position. He was indispensable across the nation to many many companies that now ran by his knowledge survived by his knowledge grew but daddy turned to drink. 60 cigarettes a day smoking through the night. I looked in that door and no matter what time of the night there was this little red cigarette as he lay in a bed trying to think of how to cope with all that was upon him all the responsibility upon him somehow the night was not his to sleep we get high blood pressure fall down pools of blood alcoholism as he had to socialize to make wealth those days it wasn't little meetings in a little conference hall there was always socializing where great decisions were made in the business world and he had to socialize and he would come back reeking eventually he was enslaved to drink to the degree that we were shamed mother would weep herself to sleep and then there was the arguing his whole character changed when he was reeking and mother couldn't bear it she hated it we hated it and the shame it brought on the home and the disgrace and people's eyes at the way he became eventually his wife was filing for divorce I will never love another man in my life I promise you that my boys he was my first sweetheart as a child I will never love another man but this is not the man I loved I will never love another man but this and mommy will die if I stay any longer so I have to leave they had two children me and my brother he rebelled he was angry he didn't speak to my father he avoided daddy if he saw him come down the passage he'd get in the room and slam and lock wouldn't speak days weeks in his anger blaming daddy for mommy aging weeping me running off as a little boy that he couldn't find me in my fears and disillusionment and confusion to escape and they're running down the streets my little brother looking for his brother oh he blamed daddy and he angered daddy and so my darling daddy sat back crushed given up all hope no hope resigned to losing everything in life oh he had gained position he had gained materialistic wealth above most but no happiness the same and grief and fear and sorrow as everything was robbed and lost that he wanted so to provide for in the way he thought as a child he could bring security and happiness to his family but he lacked as a boy and then god saved him just in time in the most wonderful way daddy was totally delivered in one moment on his knees he walked out and said to mother i've given my life to christ i shall never take it back he smashed every bottle pouring it down the drink down the drains mother we will never bring wine or alcohol or we'll never have anything not even wine or champagne it ruined my life it ruined our lives threw down his cigarettes 60 over a day for over 23 years never less than 60 a day never touched another never touched another drink hated abhorred the smell of it the thought of it god had set him free read through this book 68 times in nine years that he lived now he gave up everything went around confessing to things that he took that should have declared in his position he was able and the fortune he had made and they said well it would have been thrown away anyway you don't have to he said no don't stop me he made checks out to companies and companies and companies you let me do this in the end they were saying they told me we said to your daddy well we're not going to take it you give it to churches or missionary societies but not us we can't well eventually they called my father asked my mother to make sure he came because he didn't want to so they flew up to our big cities trying to get him back because the companies were just collapsing all over the nation that he had brought to great prosperity for these men mother said there was a row a circle of men some of them household names they saw wealthy that had all investments and all these things of these companies and they just sat there looking at him but mother said they offered him what no man should have been offered as she couldn't believe they'd stooped to such things to try and bring him back that no one could say no to but daddy stood up she said he never told me this and he said thank you but no thank you you see i thought this would give me happiness but it destroyed my life the more i got the more my life crumbled i don't want it anymore i was poor in poverty as wealth increased that you bestowed on me i only found wealth when i found christ i never knew true wealth now i have wealth that which is valuable i found salvation in jesus christ as you all have heard and known then he said these staggering words i know you men some of you household names the way you've achieved and the wealth you have but i know this also how miserable you are i know how unhappy your homes are i know about your wives i know about your children you're the same as me most of you you're in poverty give up give it up and come and find true wealth in christ or will you die like that he left mother was unable to move she was so shocked she said she turned around looked at these men she said keith every single one of them was shopping brocks god had confronted them you see this isn't happiness it's not going to ever satisfy you loving this no matter what you achieve by dubai numbers of them gave their lives to christ through daddy now a life consumed with the belief that materialistic achievement and wealth is the means to fulfillment and happiness can be expected from the unsaved beloved but when a man who knows and follows half the heart of god who walks with god who loves god who's fulfilled and finds all the peace that god gives a man who's right with him when he allows his pursuit of god to be drowned by a carnal desire and passion for wealth and materialism he will experience grave sorrow and frustration for he will completely lose the one thing that truly matters in life peace with god god is a jealous god and he wants our hearts and he warned against laying up for ourselves treasures upon earth for where your treasure is there will your heart be also matthew 6 verse 19 who seek set your affection set your affection on things above not on things of the three verse two i know a deeply conservative and loved evangelical preacher i have known more than one trust me who landed up in jail for long sentences for the love of money that took away their integrity you see the love of money is the root it's just the beginning of all evil once the seed of this sin enters your heart it can lead you to stoop to grave sin beloved and total disregard and insensitivity insensitivity toward god's will and commandments the third and final burial of all integrity in his pursuit of god that he confessed was madness madness in doing was his pursuit of sensual pleasures in chapter 2 verse 1 he shamefully confesses i said i said in my heart i will give i will enjoy pleasure verse 10 so i withheld not my heart from any joy or pleasure but he that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man proverbs 21 verse 17 warns i want to repeat it write it on your heart boy girl he that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man and paul also warned against serving diverse lusts and pleasures and tragically stooping to become lovers of pleasure more than lovers of god that's a serious verse there you see it says there was something overtaken that buried it lovers of pleasure more than lovers of god to timothy 3 verse 4 choosing choosing choosing choosing to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season hebrews 11 verse 25 thou art given to pleasure thou art given to pleasure isiah 47 verse 8 does god confront you and say that of you also here tonight does god confront you and say that of you also here tonight in your heart and conscience in 1 kings 11 verse 1 we read we read that solomon loved many strange woman where is that me well ungodly foreign woman verse 3 and he took to himself 700 wives which turned away his heart completely from god that was the final barrier this word loved is sensual it's not just you loving one woman you loving something there's something tragic about this word it implies a sensual desires that made you stoop to this it's fearful he loved many women didn't matter if they were ungodly didn't it matter if gods had warned and given him the light from the old laws and the commandments through moses not to embrace them not to pursue them because they would turn your heart away from god he took to himself 700 wives which turned away his heart the three completely from god the final burial of anything left happened there was nothing left now i know a man in south africa and a lady she's quite a character he's more of a character so i get a little bit startled in their company at times but i've made notes and used it she said to him i suppose if i die you would swiftly marry someone else wouldn't take long you'll get married again won't you so he looked up what never one was enough thank you well solomon certainly didn't seem to think so he had some other sort of agenda ah well i have known many preachers who tragically at some point gave themselves over to the lusts of the flesh and like solomon ended in disgrace and shame became a grief to god and man now the downfall of many people and many great preachers that i have known and prayed with and loved the downfall of so many one proudly seeking to glorify themselves and no longer god proudly seeking to glorify themselves in religion in preaching and no longer god secondly purposefully and sinfully seeking wealth and materialism oh oh once a man in the pulpit where a christian starts on that road it's the end god he will not stand in the pulpit with god even if he has a bible and quote scriptures about giving money is written across every single church and man on earth even if they have thousands the moment they stoop to that beloved and i hope you hear the sermon sir proudly seeking to glorify themselves the downfall of many preachers seeking to glorify themselves and no longer god proudly seeking to glorify themselves and no longer god two purposefully and sinfully seeking wealth and materialism through religion three evilly passionately seeking sensual pleasures in my country there was a man so revered and loved by his conservative values and his uncompromising message he really was revered i preached for him in some of his meetings and then he landed up on the front pages of every newspaper and the television i believe the news the whole nation landed up in jail for the love of money you see he stooped in his love for money to take money from the churches his massive monuments that were being built to accommodate the crowds that to go and gamble is found in a gambling den a casino because he now is so lost so much because it wasn't enough so he wants more and so he stoops you see it's the root of all evil prison his wife died of a what a lovely soul she was i have known so many who had such integrity that i literally went to my knees after a few minutes with them and what god had done in this world through them and then the shame the disgrace across the world as their names were written in newspapers magazines as they were exposed and sensual pleasures stooping to the lust of the flesh and now are the same and disgrace of the world let alone the church evilly passionately seeking sensual pleasures in the end while you preach that can happen to a man john cried out in 1 john 2 verse 15 love not love not love not the world neither the things that are in the world if any man love the world the love of the father is not in him that means love for god is no longer in him for all that is in the world the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the father but is of the world the world and the world passes the way and the lust thereof but he that doeth the will of god solomon now while solomon while solomon pursued god in humility and integrity this book records that he had peace on all sides round about him 1 kings 4 verse 24 and judah and israel dwelt safely and he joyfully proclaimed the lord my god hath given me rest that is peace on every side so that there is neither adversary enemy nor evil occurrent that's misfortunes that come upon us as a nation 1 kings 5 verse 1 but god soon withdrew his hand of protection and blessing from him for the lord stirred up an adversary that is an enemy unto solomon hadad the edomite 1 kings 11 verse 14 chapter 11 verse 23 and god stirred up another adversary reason verse 26 and jeroboam the aphrodite even he lifted up his hand against the king he rebelled against the king respect and love for solomon was gone all respect and love for solomon was gone and his nation's heart steadily turned against him but hebrews 12 verse 5 caustens us here despise not thou the chastening of the lord god did this took away the blessings and brought sorrows and troubles to try and make him seek god again to try and make him give up these evil pursuits and set his heart to being blessed and honored by god again the only way that god will let's get right with god despise not thou the chasing of the lord hebrews 12 verse 5 we see this again and again cried out through one passage after the other in its context and perhaps that's what god is doing to you if he isn't yet he's going to i guarantee you child if you're a child of god your life will crumble pursuing these things at salvation at salvation enslavement to sin is gloriously cancelled whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin whosoever goes on and sin is enslaved to sin john 8 verse 34 verse 36 but if the sun shall set you free shall make you free you shall be free indeed gloriously freed now subsequent to salvation i believe a total surrender is essential in every christian's life i beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of god that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice you see in the old testament the sacrifice had to be a whole animal dead but he doesn't want that he wants the whole of your life dedicated laid on the altar surrendered fully on the altar of god i beg you brothers by the mercies of god you do that present dedicate yourselves to be a living sacrifice holy acceptable unto god which is your reasonable service and be not conformed to this world don't go for the things the world goes for that will just bring grief but be transformed now by the renewing of your mind change your heart change your minds from anything that would divert you from an integrity in your pursuit of god that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of god i believe victory will be obtained at such a dedication beyond all comprehension and i've yet to meet the man who argued with me and said that's not true everything's salvation i said i want to ask you a question don't you dare answer with a lie or god may strike you dead so be careful what about your life you're saved i have no doubt of that don't desperately need for god to have a total surrender in you in your life desperately before you make shipwreck i've never known a preacher or a man who hasn't turned away and walked away from me unable to say the true answer but those who seek such a dedication the victory that you obtain and experience through this act of total dedication is maintained only through the discipline of meditating god's word fervently which results in true prayer outside of which there is no such a thing as praying in the spirit apart from crisis prayers in desperate need there's no true prayer you see we are born with a sinful nature that salvation cancels out that enslavement to sin but a total total surrender to god and seeking as you realize where your heart can be going just surrendering everything no matter what it costs no matter what you're going to throw out of your door your life or lose but don't lose the pursuit of god man's heart is evil from his youth genesis 8 verse 21 solomon cries out remember now thy creator in the days of thy youth while that is before the evil days come not for the years do not when thou shalt say like solomon i have no pleasure in them i don't believe like we preach that this is speaking to unsaved people to get saved no you young people get so totally right with god don't seek other things don't bury your pursuit of god of course solomon got right with god before death but it was too late to rectify all the damage and shame and sorrow that his life had brought upon this world and on god's name the fact of this book of ecclesiastes is proof that this man confessed where he had gone wrong and longed for us and all who would read this sermon as heartbreaking as it is to be protected from where he landed the whole conclusion he says in chapter 12 verse 13 is to fear god keep his commandment this is the whole duty of man for god shall bring every work into judgment with every secret thing whether it be good or whether it be evil oh that's what he prayed for isn't it but lost we have to be very careful here tonight concerning this man solomon's fall you see his confession as tragic as it was was courageous because if any one of us sitting here tonight were to try to do the same the cost would be so so great an honest confession before everyone right now of just what you are the cost of such a confession is this man made before death to the whole world through the centuries the cost of such an honest confession to oneself will cost oh i implore every one of you whom god has spoken to here tonight to pay that price confess it to yourself that costs how many of you how many of us started off like this man with utter integrity seeking wisdom knowledge from the pages of this holy book in order to live a god glorifying life you also had a wonderful beginning but will you end in shame and tragedy we think we choose to come to a convention fellowship is sweet tell me do you honestly think god wasn't in it for this message alone but what will you do with this message one step after the sermon one word after the sermon god satan and man will know what you've done with this message one step after this message god will know satan will condition what you've done with this message even if god brought you here to hear it can we stand please no appeal but there's an altar you know not here just before god to ask for forgiveness to tell god you'll pay the price no matter what you have to bury of your plans and life but you will no longer step out of the perfect will of god and that is ultimately to pursue him with your whole heart soul and in total integrity no matter what you have to lose or who you have to lose now that altar might be strewn with people here tonight seeking god or maybe you in five minutes will be laughing with people let me tell you what you're doing you're laughing in god's face don't doubt it now mr corbell will you come please to our to the front no up here one more meeting tomorrow morning i believe we gather here about nine i think i think roy will be preaching first at 10 a little break and then i'll preach he brings a half an hour message and me hopefully an hour or what god can do between this meeting and tomorrow morning if you let him could change your life and your world everyone you affect in this world or could end in tragedy for you and everyone that knows you if you don't don't doubt this could you please commit us to christ can we bow in prayer please
