Glen Bond Sunday Night June 11, 2006 Picayune, MS Subject: Judgement is coming Song: When I see the blood pg 120 Bro. Freddy talkng about Christ, and how he was the perfect sacrifice for sin. In England, they are trying to pass a law that all clergy must marry the gay and lesbian. They call it some kind of partnership, but it carries almost all of the same priveliges of marriage. There is very little difference. They have already made it so that the gay and lesbian can marry. The prime minister thinks it is a good thing. (Tony Blair) Spain wants to give human rights to the apes and chimpanzees. They think that there is no difference between man and ape except a few years of evolution. They think that as an ape has no soul, man has no soul since he came from an ape. The news these last couple of days from New Orleans tells of people being killed. The world is filled with violence. Genesis 6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. This is just as valid now as it was in Noah's day. Look what God said; "I will destroy them with the earth." Is this what the Lord is getting ready to do? The Lord told Noah to prepare an ark, a means for saving himself from this destruction. The Lord is getting ready to judge this world. Are you safe in the ark? Christ is the Ark. Have you entered in? Do you think as those in 2 peter 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. The world as a whole no longer believes that God will judge them. They think that He is not coming back. They think that they can do as they please with no consequences for their actions. All of this Homosexuality is nothing more than fulfilling the lust of the flesh. It is saying "I don't care what God said, I want this, and I am going to have it." "I won't have this man to rule over me." Lost sinner... that is what you are doing. You are refusing Christ, you are refusing to submit to HIM because you want to have your own way. You don't want to stop what you are doing and seek the Lord. But, Listen, You sitting here have hope. Those out there have no hope... not as long as they are out there refusing to hear. I used to think " if I was there when Noah built the ark, I would have went in." Is that what YOU think? Is it? Are you so blind and ignorant as to think that? I'm not railing on you because you are blind and ignorant. That is just the natural man, blinded by Satan, and ignorant of his condition before God. You have the same thing is set before you right now!! You have Gods word telling you that judgement is coming, and you have the same ARK of safety before you, and you won't come in. You see judegment comming and you won't believe it. You want to say, There has always been violence, there has always been killings, there has always been wicked men on earth. You are like those of Peter's day; And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. There has always been wicked men on earth. There has, but NOW things are ripe for the harvest. Judgement is coming soon. Are you going to stick it out, and wait as long as you can? Are you going to wait till you see the door start to close? Do you think you can do that? I think that there was a few who watched Noah go into the ARK and said"Look at him, He's going into the ARK" It must be getting close to the time of the flood he was always talking about. Maybe I should stick around here and when the rain starts, I will run on in there with him. or, Maybe I will go on in after the ball game this afternoon. I don't want to mist the game, it should be a good one today. or, He may have turned his back for just a minute, and when he looked again, the Lord had closed the door. IT WAS TOO LATE! He waited too long. Are you going to wait too long? Are you still busy with the world? saying, No, I don't have time right now. I will seek the Lord later. Ball game Fishing trip The only time I have to do anything is Wednesday nights, and that is when I go motorcycle riding. I can't seek the Lord then. Look at all of the excuses they used in the Bible... Luke 14:18 18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. 20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. Are you making excuses for why you won't come to the Lord? The main thing here is, "They would not come". YOU will not come. The Bible says... John 5:40 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. You won't come because you don't want to. It is going to take some effort. You don't want to make an effort to get something that you don't want. The natural man doesn't want to be saved, he loves his sin and all of the things of this world. You love this world. You don't want to be saved. You must ask the one who is able, for help. Don't ask me for help, I can't save you. You must ask God. 1 Tim. 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. The purpose of his coming to this world was to save wicked, lost, sinners. That was the only purpose of the Ark that Noah built, to save all that would enter into it. Don't just set there and say, "I can't believe". You can't do anything without Gods help. You get up every day and go to work, don't you? God gives you strength for that. If you will get up and come to him, he will give you strength for that also. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- About decisionism: You must believe, but not of yourself. It is a gift of God. You must repent, but not of yourself. It is a gift of God. You must come to him, but not of yourself. The Father must draw you. You are not able to make a decision for Christ. You are not able to "Give your heart to Jesus". Why would he want that old wicked heart? The most wicked, evil, mass murderer, has to have his understanding opened before he will ever know that he is a sinner.
