NOW TODAY I WANT YOU TO
TURN WITH ME TO II PETER

THE SECOND CHAPTER
BEGINNING WITH VERSE FIVE.

I HOPE YOU BROUGHT YOUR BIBLES
BECAUSE WE WANT TO TALK

ABOUT A VERY IMPORTANT
SUBJECT TODAY.

THE JUDGMENT OF GOD,
THE LOVE OF GOD,

AND THE COMING AGAIN OF JESUS
CHRIST, AND THE END OF THE AGE.

NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.

THERE’S NOT GOING TO
BE AN END TO THE WORLD.

BUT THERE IS GOING TO BE AN END
TO THE AGE IN WHICH WE LIVE,

THAT’S DOMINATED BY THE DEVIL
AND DOMINATED BY EVIL.

THAT WILL COME TO AN END
AND CHRIST THE MESSIAH

IS GOING TO COME BACK.

WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT
THAT A LITTLE BIT TODAY.

THE SECOND CHAPTER OF II PETER .

NOW, II PETER IN YOUR BIBLES
COMES RIGHT AFTER I PETER,

IF YOU’RE HAVING
TROUBLE FINDING IT.

BEGINNING WITH VERSE 5,

“AND SPARED NOT THE OLD WORLD

“BUT SAVED NOAH,
THE EIGHTH PERSON,

“A PREACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

“BRINGING IN THE FLOOD UPON
THE WORLD OF THE UNGODLY

“AND TURNING THE CITIES OF
SODOM AND GOMORRAH INTO ASHES

“CONDEMNED THEM
WITH AN OVERTHROW

“MAKING THEM AN EXAMPLE
UNTO ALL THOSE

“WHO WOULD LIVE UNGODLY
IN THE FUTURE.

“AND DELIVERED JUST LOT,

“VEXED WITH THE FILTHY
LIFESTYLE OF THE WICKED.

“FOR THE RIGHTEOUS MAN
DWELLING AMONG THEM

“AND SEEING AND HEARING,
VEXED HIS RIGHTEOUS SOUL

“FROM DAY TO DAY
WITH THEIR UNLAWFUL DEEDS.

“THE LORD KNOWETH HOW TO

“DELIVER THE GODLY
OUT OF TEMPTATIONS AND TRIALS.”

IF YOU’RE GOING THROUGH
A SERIOUS TEMPTATION NOW

OR TRIAL NOW

GOD KNOWS HOW TO DELIVER YOU.

IF YOU’LL TURN TO HIM
AND PRAY BY FAITH AND BELIEVE.

“AND TO RESERVE THE UNJUST
UNTO THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.”

THOSE THAT ARE
OUTSIDE OF CHRIST,

THOSE THAT LIVE WICKED LIVES
ARE BEING RESERVED

UNTIL THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.

THERE IS A JUDGMENT DAY COMING.

THE BIBLICAL STORY OF
SODOM AND GOMORRAH

COMES DOWN TO US TODAY
AS AN EXAMPLE

OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN
EVEN IN THIS DECADE,

OR IN THE DECADES AHEAD
IF WE DON’T TURN TO GOD.

NOW SODOM AND GOMORRAH
WERE TWO CITIES.

AND THEY WERE AT THE PLACE
THAT NOW THE DEAD SEA IS

IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

THE DEAD SEA IS TEN MILES
BY FIFTY MILE INLAND LAKE

IN THE LOWER JORDAN VALLEY.

IT’S A MINERAL SATURATED
BODY OF WATER

WHICH IS 1,260 FEET
BELOW SEA LEVEL.

IT’S THE LOWEST PART
OF THE WORLD.

IN GENESIS 13 WE READ
ABOUT ABRAHAM.

AND ABRAHAM IS GOING THROUGH
THAT PART OF THE WORLD

WITH ALL OF HIS FLOCKS
AND ALL OF HIS FAMILY,

GOING TO THE LAND THAT
GOD HAD PROMISED HIM.

HE WAS A MAN OF GOD.

AND HE HAD HIS NEPHEW
WITH HIM BY THE NAME OF LOT.

AND HE SAW THAT THE SERVANTS
OF LOT AND HIS SERVANTS

WERE NOT GETTING ALONG TOO WELL.

SO HE SAID TO LOT,
“LOT, LET’S DIVIDE,

“WE’VE GOTTEN TOO BIG.

“THERE ARE TOO MANY OF US.

“TOO MANY CATTLE.

“YOUR CATTLE AND MY CATTLE
ARE GETTING MIXED UP.

“YOU CHOOSE WHEREVER
YOU WANNA LIVE.

“IF YOU WANNA GO WEST,”
(TOWARD WHAT IS NOW PALESTINE)

“OR IF YOU WANNA
GO ACROSS THE JORDAN

“AND GO TO THE JORDAN VALLEY
WHICH IS LUSH LIKE

“A GARDEN OF EDEN.

“YOU TAKE A CHOICE AND
I’LL TAKE THE OTHER WAY.”

SO LOT LOOKED ALL AROUND AND
HE LOOKED DOWN TOWARDS SODOM,

HE LOOKED DOWN
TOWARD GOMORRAH.

AND HE SAW THAT WAS A VERY
WEALTHY PART OF THE WORLD.

A VERY WONDERFUL PART
TO LIVE IN.

HE CONSULTED HIS WIFE.

SHE SAID, “BY ALL MEANS
WE WANT TO GO TO SODOM.”

SHE WANTED TO GO WHERE
THE GOOD TIMES WERE.

AND SO LOT TOLD ABRAHAM,
“ALL RIGHT, UNCLE ABRAHAM.

“WE’RE GOING TO GO,
WE’VE CHOSEN TO GO DOWN

“TO SODOM AND GOMORRAH.

“AND GO DOWN TO THE LUSH
VALLEY OF THE JORDAN.

“AND WE’LL TAKE OUR CATTLE
AND OUR SERVANTS

“AND OUR PEOPLE AND OUR FAMILY
AND THAT’S WHERE WE’LL GO.”

ABRAHAM AGREED,
SAID ALL RIGHT.

THE DEAD SEA WAS
SURROUNDED IN THAT TIME–

IT WAS NO DEAD SEA,
OF COURSE–

BUT AT THAT TIME IT WAS A LUSH,
UNBELIEVABLY LUSH

PART OF THE WORLD.

BUT WITH THEIR WEALTH CAME
A LIFESTYLE OF HEDONISM,

SEXUAL OBSESSION
AND PERVERSION.

THE LIKE OF WHICH HAS
HARDLY EVER BEEN EQUALED

IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.

SO THAT TODAY THE WORD SODOM
IS USED TO DESCRIBE

A CERTAIN LIFESTYLE
THAT PEOPLE MAY ADOPT.

AS GOD HAD SENT
A FLOOD TO DESTROY

A CORRUPTED HUMANITY
IN NOAH’S DAY,

SO UPON SODOM AND GOMORRAH

HE SENT A TOTALLY DESTROYING
JUDGMENT OF FIRE.

AND THAT FIRE OF BRIMSTONE THAT
FELL UPON SODOM AND GOMORRAH

NOT ONLY DESTROYED IT,

BUT SANK THAT PART OF THE WORLD

TO THE LOWEST PART OF THE EARTH.

NOW WHAT WERE THE SINS OF SODOM?

WHY DID GOD ALLOW
THAT JUDGMENT TO FALL?

THE FIRST SIN THAT THEY HAD
WAS FALSE SECURITY.

THEY WERE SECURE.

AND WE TODAY HAVE A SECURITY
BEHIND OUR OCEANS

AND BEHIND OUR MILITARY POWER.

PRESIDENT YELTSIN HAS
STATED THAT THE WHOLE WORLD

CAN BE STANDING UNKNOWINGLY
ON THE EDGE OF AN ABYSS.

AND YOU SAW IN
YOUR PAPERS THIS MORNING

THE PROBLEMS THEY ARE
HAVING IN RUSSIA RIGHT NOW,

IN THE GOVERNMENT.

WE HAVE A FALSE SECURITY.

“WOE TO THEM THAT
GO DOWN TO EGYPT!”

NOW EGYPT IN THAT DAY
DID NOT HAVE MUCH TO DO

WITH ISRAELI PEOPLE.

AND YET, TIME AFTER TIME,

THE ISRAELIS WOULD GO
DOWN TO EGYPT FOR HELP.

AND HE SAID, ” WOE TO THEM
THAT GO DOWN TO EGYPT FOR HELP

“AND STAY ON HORSES
AND TRUST IN CHARIOTS,

“BUT THEY LOOK NOT TO
THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL

“NEITHER SEEK THE LORD.

“NOW THE EGYPTIANS
ARE MEN AND NOT GOD

“AND THEIR HORSES FLESH
AND NOT SPIRIT.”

ISAIAH THE PROPHET IS SPEAKING
IN THE 31ST CHAPTER

WHEN HE SAYS THAT.

THEY HAD FALSE SECURITY.

THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE
ABSOLUTELY SECURE.

NOBODY COULD EVER TAKE
SODOM AND GOMORRAH.

THEN THEIR SECOND SIN THAT THE
SCRIPTURE MENTIONS IS PLEASURE.

THEY LIVED FOR PLEASURE.

IN JOB 20 THE FIFTH CHAPTER
IT SAYS,

“THE JOY MAKING OF
THE WICKED IS SHORT

“AND THE JOY OF THE HYPOCRITE
BUT A MOMENT.”

YOU ONLY HAVE A MOMENT
TO ENJOY IT.

THEN YOU HAVE ETERNITY
TO REGRET IT.

THE SCRIPTURE SAYS THERE ARE
PLEASURES IN SIN FOR A MOMENT.

THEN IT’S ALL OVER

AND THEN THERE’S NOTHING BUT
THE REMORSE AND THE GUILT.

THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, “THERE’S A
WAY THAT SEEMS RIGHT UNTO A MAN

“BUT THE END THEREOF
ARE THE WAYS OF DEATH.”

“EVEN IN LAUGHTER,”
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS,

“THE HEART IS SORROWFUL AND
THE END OF MIRTH IS HEAVINESS.”

EVEN WHEN YOU’RE LAUGHING,
MANY PEOPLE.

IN PSALM 53:1, IT SAYS,

“THE FOOL HAS SAID IN HIS HEART
THERE’S NO GOD.”

IF YOU GO BACK TO
ORIGINAL LANGUAGE IN HEBREW

HERE’S WHAT IT SAYS;

“THE FOOL HATH SAID
IN HIS HEART NO TO GOD.”

HE’S NOT SAYING THERE’S NO GOD.

HE’S JUST SAYING NO TO GOD.

YOU SEE YOU CAN’T
PROVE SCIENTIFICALLY

THAT THERE IS A GOD

AND YOU CAN’T PROVE
SCIENTIFICALLY THERE’S NO GOD.

BUT EVERYBODY KNOWS
THERE MUST BE A GOD.

AND THEN THERE’S ANOTHER SIN

THAT SODOM AND
GOMORRAH COMMITTED.

IT WAS OVERINDULGENCE.

THE MAJORITY OF THE WORLD,
A GREAT PART OF THE WORLD,

LIVES UNDER WHAT WE CALL
THE POVERTY LEVEL.

AND IN LUKE 21 IT SAYS,

“AND TAKE HEED
TO YOURSELVES LEST AT ANY TIME

“YOUR HEARTS BE OVERCHARGED
WITH SURFEITING AND DRUNKENNESS

“AND THE CARES OF THIS LIFE

“SO THAT DAY COMES
UPON YOU UNAWARE.”

JOHN EASTWOOD
WROTE SOME TIME AGO,

“PEOPLE DO NOT DECIDE TO BE
DRUNKARDS OR DRUG ADDICTS

“OR PROSTITUTES OR MURDERERS
OR THIEVES.

“BUT THEY PITCH THEIR TENT
TOWARD SODOM

“AND THE POWERS OF EVIL
OVERCOME THEM.”

AND HOW MANY OF US
ARE LIKE THAT?

WE PITCH OUR TENT
TOWARD SODOM.

WE SORT OF LIVE HALF IN SODOM
AND HALF WITH ABRAHAM.

WE SORT OF ENJOY SODOM.

WE LONG FOR THE THINGS
THAT SODOM HAS.

WE’D LIKE TO HAVE THE FUN
AND THE PLEASURE

WE IMAGINE THAT
THEY’RE HAVING.

WE’D LIKE TO HAVE
ALL THAT MONEY.

BUT THE POWERS OF EVIL
WILL OVERCOME YOU

AND YOU WILL DIE BEFORE
YOUR TIME AND BE LOST FROM GOD.

IN JUDE THE 12TH
VERSE IT SAYS,

“THERE ARE SPOTS IN
YOUR FEAST OF CHARITY

“WHEN THEY FEAST WITH YOU,

“FEEDING THEMSELVES
WITHOUT FEAR.”

HOW MANY TIMES WE SEE
CHARITABLE EVENTS–

AND WE THANK GOD FOR THOSE
THAT ARE SINCERELY INTERESTED–

BUT THEY GO TO HAVE A BIG
TIME AND TO BE SEEN.

AND THERE’S A SPOT IN THEIR
CHARITY AND THAT’S THE SPOT.

AND THEN THE PEOPLE OF
SODOM AND GOMORRAH

HAD SOME NEW STRANGE GODS.

WHENEVER A MAN SEEKS
OR HONORS OR EXALTS

ANYTHING MORE THAN GOD
THAT’S IDOLATRY.

AND THERE ARE MANY OF US
THAT ARE GUILTY OF IDOLATRY.

BUT WE DON’T REALIZE IT.

IN PSALM 44 , IT SAYS,
“IF WE’VE FORGOTTEN

“THE NAME OF OUR GOD
OR STRETCHED OUT OUR HAND

“TO A STRANGE GOD,
SHALL NOT GOD SEARCH THIS OUT?”

ROMANS 1 , IT SAYS,
“WE’VE CHANGED THE TRUTH OF GOD

“INTO A LIE AND WORSHIPPED
AND SERVED THE CREATURE

“MORE THAN THE CREATOR.”

WE WORSHIP OUR BODIES AND
WE WORSHIP OUR GOOD TIMES

AND WE SPEND MORE
ON OUR COSMETICS

THAN WE DO WORSHIPPING GOD

AND CHRIST.

THAT’S MODERN HUMANISM.

AND THEN THEY WERE
ALSO GUILTY OF GREED.

GREED WAS A PLAGUE ON
THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE

OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH.

AND ONE OF THE ADDICTION THAT
TODAY HAS THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS

IN ITS VICE IS GAMBLING.

AND PART OF THE GAMBLING
MOTIVATION IS GREED.

WORKERS THROUGHOUT
THE INDUSTRIALIZED WORLD

ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY
TRAUMATIZED BY OVERWORK

AND THEIR EFFORT TO EARN MORE
THAN THEIR NEEDS REQUIRE.

SO WE NEGLECT OUR FAMILIES TO
GET MORE MONEY SO THAT WE CAN,

AND WE DON’T REALLY NEED IT.

GOD HAS PROMISED TO SUPPLY
ALL OF OUR NEEDS,

BUT HE’S NEVER PROMISED
TO SUPPLY ALL OF OUR GREEDS.

AND THEN IN THE SINS OF
SODOM AND GOMORRAH,

SO BAD THAT GOD GAVE THEM UP.

IN ROMANS 1 IT SAYS THAT
GOD JUST GAVE THEM UP.

THREE TIMES, HE SAID
HE GAVE THEM UP.

HAS GOD GIVEN YOU UP?

NO, THE VERY FACT
YOU’RE HERE TODAY

SHOWS THAT GOD HAS
NOT GIVEN YOU UP.

GOD IS STILL SPEAKING TO YOU.

THERE’S STILL A CHANCE FOR YOU
TO COME TO CHRIST.

THERE’S STILL AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU

TO RECEIVE THE LOVE OF GOD
AND THE GIFT OF GOD IN CHRIST.

IN II TIMOTHY 3 IT SAYS,

“MEN SHALL BE LOVERS
OF THEIR OWN SELVES,

“COVETOUS, BOASTERS,
PROUD, BLASPHEMERS, DISOBEDIENT,

“UNTHANKFUL, UNHOLY.”

AND ANYONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIGH
MORALITY TODAY IS LAUGHED AT.

JEREMIAH SAID THAT THEY
HAD FORGOTTEN HOW TO BLUSH

AND THERE’S A LOT TRUTH IN THAT.

NOW GOD WARNS SODOM.

HE SENT SOME ANGELS TO ABRAHAM

TO TELL ABRAHAM WHAT
HE WAS GOING TO DO.

HE WAS GOING TO DESTROY
SODOM AND GOMORRAH

WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE.

AND ABRAHAM SAID,
“WAIT A MINUTE, LORD.

“IF I WOULD FIND SOME REAL
BELIEVERS IN SODOM,

“IF I FOUND FIFTY RIGHTEOUS MEN,
WOULD YOU SPARE IT?”

AND GOD SAID, “YES.”

HE COULDN’T FIND FIFTY
SO HE SAID TO THE LORD,

“ALL RIGHT, LORD, WHAT
ABOUT IF I FOUND FORTY?”

THEN AFTER AWHILE, HE SAID,
“THIRTY,” THEN “TWENTY.”

FINALLY HE SAID,
“IF I FIND TEN, LORD,

“WOULD YOU SPARE THEM?”

AND GOD SAID, “YES, IF YOU FIND
TEN RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE IN SODOM

“I’LL SPARE SODOM.”

BUT HE COULDN’T FIND THEM.

AND THAT IS A LESSON TO US.

THE IMPORTANCE OF
A DEDICATED MINORITY.

A MINORITY OF PEOPLE WHO
BELIEVE AND WHO LIVE IT.

“EXCEPT THE LORD OF HOSTS
HAD LEFT UNTO US

“A SMALL REMNANT, WE SHOULD
HAVE BEEN AS SODOM.

“AND WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN
LIKENED UNTO GOMORRAH,”

SAYS ISAIAH 1:9

TO YOU CHRISTIANS,
JESUS GAVE A WARNING.

HE SAID, “REMEMBER LOT’S WIFE?”

THE ANGELS TOLD YOU

NOT TO LOOK BACK.

IF YOU DID LOOK BACK,

YOU’D BE TURNED

TO A PILLAR SALT.

WELL, SHE DID LOOK BACK.

AND SHE WAS TURNED

TO A PILLAR OF SALT.

AND JESUS SAID,

“REMEMBER LOT’S WIFE.”

THAT’S AN EXAMPLE FOR US TODAY,

“REMEMBER LOT’S WIFE.”

ONE OF THE SHORTEST VERSES

IN ALL THE BIBLE.

DON’T LOOK BACK.

MANY OF US LOOK LONGINGLY

AT THE WORLD

AND MANY ARE LIKE DEMAS,

HAVING FORSAKEN CHRIST

BECAUSE OF THE LOVE OF

THIS PRESENT WORLD.

NOW THE CLIMAX OF HISTORY

IS GOING TO BE JUDGMENT.

THE BIBLE WARNS THAT THE WORLD

IS IN FOR A GIGANTIC JUDGMENT.

THE ONLY BRIGHT SPOT

IS THE PROMISED RETURN

OF JESUS CHRIST.

BECAUSE THE SCRIPTURE TEACHES

FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER

THAT CHRIST IS GOING

TO COME BACK SOMEDAY.

HE’S GOING TO

SET UP HIS KINGDOM.

AND EVIL AND THE DEVIL

ARE GOING TO BE ELIMINATED

AND THIS IS GOING TO BE

HEAVEN ON EARTH,

WHEN JESUS COMES BACK.

[applause]

YOU SEE, JESUS CHRIST

LOVED US SO MUCH

THAT HE WENT TO THE CROSS

AND DIED FOR US.

HE TOOK ALL THE HELL

AND ALL THE JUDGMENT

ON HIM AT THE CROSS.

AND THE SCRIPTURE SAYS

“GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD,”

GOD SO LOVED

THIS PRESENT WORLD

“THAT HE GAVE

“HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON

“THAT WHOSOEVER,”

THAT INCLUDES YOU,

“WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM

“SHOULD NOT PERISH

“BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.”

YOU SAY, WELL, WHEN IS CHRIST

GOING TO COME BACK?

JESUS SAID, “BUT OF THAT DAY

“AND HOUR KNOWETH NO MAN.

“NO, NOT EVEN THE ANGELS

“OF HEAVEN,

“BUT MY FATHER ONLY.”

WE DON’T KNOW THE DAY,

DON’T SPECULATE.

IT’S COMING, IT’S SURE.

HE LEFT US CERTAIN SIGNS,

I WISH WE HAD TIME TO

GO INTO ALL OF THEM TODAY.

I BELIEVE THAT EVERY ONE

OF THOSE SIGNS

IS BEING FULFILLED RIGHT NOW.

AND CHRIST COULD COME BACK

AT ANY TIME.

[applause]

HOW WILL CHRIST COME?

“FOR THE LORD HIMSELF

“SHALL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN

“WITH A SHOUT AND THE VOICE

“OF THE ARCHANGEL

“AND WITH THE TRUMP OF GOD

“AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST

“SHALL RISE FIRST!”

WHAT A GLORIOUS TIME

THAT’S GOING TO BE

WHEN CHRIST RETURNS.

THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL,

I’M LOOKING FORWARD

TO HEARING THAT VOICE.

I’VE NEVER HEARD

AN ARCHANGEL.

AND THE TRUMP OF GOD,

WHAT TRUMPETS THAT WILL BE.

THAT WILL ALSO BE A TIME

OF PERSONAL JUDGMENT

WHEN YOU IF YOU’VE REALLY

NEVER RECEIVED CHRIST,

NOW YOU MAY BE BAPTIZED

AND YOU MAY BE CONFIRMED

AND YOU MAY BE A CHURCH MEMBER

AND ALL OF THAT.

THAT’S WONDERFUL.

I’M THANKFUL.

BUT THAT’S NOT ENOUGH.

JESUS TALKED TO NICODEMUS

AND SAID, “NICODEMUS,

“ALL OF YOUR RELIGION

“IS NOT ENOUGH.

“YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN.”

THE MOMENT YOU RECEIVE CHRIST,

THE MOMENT YOU OPEN YOUR HEART
AND SURRENDER TO HIM

AS LORD AND MASTER AND SAVIOR,

AT THAT MOMENT, YOUR NAME IS
WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE.

AND IF MY NAME WERE NOT WRITTEN
IN THAT BOOK OF LIFE,

YOU’D NEVER GET ME
OUT OF THIS STADIUM

UNTIL I’D MADE SURE
IT’S BEEN WRITTEN THERE.

BECAUSE ONLY THOSE WHO ARE
WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE

ARE GOING TO ENTER
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

[applause]

YOU SEE, FOR THOSE WHO ARE
WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE,

JESUS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS.

THEY PUT NAILS IN HIS HANDS
AND A SPIKE THROUGH HIS SIDE

AND A CROWN OF THORNS
ON HIS BROW

AND HE SUFFERED ONE OF THE MOST
AGONIZING PHYSICAL DEATHS

THAT A PERSON CAN SUFFER.

BUT THAT WASN’T
HIS REAL SUFFERING.

THE REAL SUFFERING OF
JESUS CHRIST WAS WHEN HE SAID,

“MY GOD, MY GOD,
WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME.”

BECAUSE IN THAT MOMENT,
GOD TOOK YOUR SINS

AND MY SIN AND LAID ON CHRIST.

HE BORE OUR SINS.

HE WENT TO HELL FOR US.

HE TOOK THE JUDGMENT FOR US.

SO THE CROSS IS A JUDGMENT.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO?

REPENT OF YOUR SINS.

AND YOU’RE NOT SURE

THAT YOU’VE REPENTED.

TO SURRENDER TOTALLY TO CHRIST.

YOUR HEART, YOUR MIND,

YOUR BODY, YOUR LIFE

SO THAT CHRIST IS FIRST

IN YOUR LIFE.

I’M GOING TO ASK YOU TO MAKE

THAT COMMITMENT THIS AFTERNOON.

I’M GOING TO ASK YOU TO DO

WHAT WE’VE SEEN THOUSANDS OF

PEOPLE DO THIS PAST WEEK.

GET UP OUT OF YOUR SEAT

FROM ALL OVER THIS STADIUM

AND COME AND STAND IN FRONT.

AND AFTER YOU’VE ALL COME

I’M GOING TO SAY A WORD TO YOU

AND HAVE A PRAYER WITH YOU

AND YOU CAN GET UP

AND GO BACK

AND JOIN YOUR FRIENDS.

WE’RE GOING TO GIVE YOU

SOME LITERATURE,

A BOOK THAT’LL HELP YOU

IN YOUR CHRISTIAN LIFE.

BUT YOU GET UP AND COME

AND DON’T DELAY,

BECAUSE HE SAYS,
“NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME.

“TODAY IS THE DAY
OF SALVATION.”

YOU MAY NEVER HAVE ANOTHER
MOMENT LIKE THIS

AS LONG AS YOU LIVE.

WHEN WILL YOU EVER SEE ANOTHER
THING LIKE THIS IN PITTSBURGH?

MAYBE ANOTHER GENERATION
OR MAYBE NEVER.

AND AS FAR AS YOU’RE
CONCERNED, IT MAY NEVER BE.

WE’RE GOING TO
WAIT FOR YOU.

YOU COME FROM WAY UP THERE,

WHEREVER YOU ARE,
GOD IS SPEAKING TO YOU.

AND BACK HERE, WHERE
THE SEATS HAVE FILLED IN,

YOU COME AND JOIN THEM.
