O God, thank Thee for this moment where we can bow before a holy God. As unworthy as we are, all of us conscious of the grace of God, recast on grace totally. Apart from grace we have nothing to approach God. Shall we come because of the blood of Christ, and approach Thee carefully, reverentially, fearfully, and yet with love and joy, with our Saviour ever liveth, to make intercession for us. And so come in Thy mercy, our Father, accept our praise for Jesus, for Thy Son, for His blood, His death, His salvation, His life, and His intercession for us. Come in Thy mercy, and wash me in the blood of God, God the Son, the Creator, the Saviour, and the coming Judge of this world. And fill me with the Holy Spirit, in Thy mercy upon such a base vessel as me, such a weak vessel as me, and yet our best and profitable servants. And in Thy mercy anoint and unctionize this Thy holy Word. We thank Thee for the Holy Spirit. The letter killeth, without Thee we can do nothing, but the Spirit giveth life to this holy book. Come therefore, and in mercy on all of us, especially on me, come and make Thy Word alive. We walk in so many meetings, and we walk out unchanged. We may as well not have been there. Nothing happened. God forgive us. As preachers, forgive us, as Thy children. We pray that tonight we will never, ever forget the holy Word of God. Write it in our hearts, by the hand of God, through the Holy Spirit. And now in mercy, protect us from Satan, our only enemy, his demons, and evil people, with evil intent, who are everywhere, even in searchers. Come, Setrush, unto the blood of Christ. Rebuke thou thyself, Satan, away, by the risen, resurrected power of Christ, and in the name of Jesus Christ. Come now, fill me with Thy Spirit. Anoint, unctionize, quicken, and take these words, and visit our hearts. We ask these things in the name that is above every other name, in the sacred, perfect name of Jesus Christ. In faith, and for His glory alone. Amen. Exodus 20 verse 1, And God spake all these words, saying, I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them. For I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. For the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Remember the Sabbath day. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Thou shalt not do any labor. Thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day. Wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass. Thou shalt not do any labor. Thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day. Wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's. Now these ten commandments found in Exodus 20 verse 1 to 17 are known as the Decalogue. The Decalogue, a Greek word meaning the ten words. The ten words referring to Exodus 34 verse 28. The ten commandments are actually a comprehensive summary of the full law of God. The ten commandments are actually a comprehensive summary of the full law of God which was given to Moses on Mount Sinai in 1491 B.C. which is contained, which is recorded in Exodus, Leviticus and Deuteronomy. The first four of these ten commandments the first four of these ten commandments concern our obligation and our duty toward God. Our obligation and our duty toward God. But the last six of these ten commandments concern our obligation and our duty toward our fellow man. In the New Testament the Lord Jesus condensed the ten commandments into two. In the New Testament the Lord Jesus condensed the ten commandments into two. We read in Matthew 22 verse 35 Then one of them which was a lawyer that is a teacher of the law of Moses a teacher of the law of Moses Then one of them which was a lawyer asked him a question tempting him and saying Master which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind This is the first and great commandment The second the second is like unto it Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophet On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophet Firstly Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind Referring to Deuteronomy 6 verse 5 And secondly Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself Referring to Leviticus 19 verse 18 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophet All the law and the prophet Then in Romans 13 verse 8 The apostle Paul also wrote Oh no man anything Oh no man anything but but to love to love one another For he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law He that loveth another hath fulfilled the law For this Thou shalt not commit adultery Thou shalt not kill Thou shalt not steal Thou shalt not bear false witness Thou shalt not covet And if there be any other commandment It is briefly comprehended In this saying It is briefly comprehended in this saying Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself Love worketh no ill to his neighbour Therefore love is the fulfilling of the law Love worketh no ill to his neighbour Therefore love is the fulfilling of the law The giving of the law The comprehensive summary of the law The condensing of the law And now The curse of the law The curse of the law Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law To do them Deuteronomy 27 verse 26 Now beloved this not only means the ten commandments Which are merely a comprehensive summary of the law This not only means the ten commandments But all the rituals Feasts Sacrifices And all things that are written in the book of the law Which contain six hundred and thirteen commandments Comprising a complete system of ethics or moral duties Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law To do them But that no man is justified by the law and the sight of God it is evident Galatians 3 verse 11 For whosoever shall keep the whole law And yet offend in one point He is guilty of all James 2 verse 10 Beloved the laws of God Are so interlocked with one another The laws of God are so interlocked with one another That if we offend in one point In one point we are guilty of all For whosoever shall keep the whole law And yet offend in one point He is guilty of all Cursed be he That confirmeth not all the words of this law To do them The curse of the law But But Christ Christ hath redeemed us From the curse of the law Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law Being made a curse for us For it is written cursed Is everyone that hangeth on a tree Galatians 3 verse 13 And by him All that believe are justified All that believe are justified from all things From which he could not be justified by the law of Moses Acts 13 verse 39 Therefore By the deeds of the law By the deeds of the law There shall no flesh be justified in his sight Romans 3 verse 20 For Christ is the end of the law For righteousness to everyone that believeth Christ is the end of the law For righteousness to everyone that believeth Romans 10 verse 4 I do not frustrate the grace of God I do not frustrate the grace of God For if righteousness come by the law Then Christ is dead in vain If righteousness come by the law Then Christ is dead in vain Galatians 2 verse 21 Romans 7 verse 7 What shall we say then Is the law sin Is the law sin God forbid God forbid Hey I had not known sin But by the law I had not known sin but by the law The purpose of the law The giving of the law The comprehensive summary of the law The condensing of the law The curse of the law And now The purpose of the law The purpose of the law Romans 7 verse 7 I had not known sin But by the law For I had not known lust Except the law had said Thou shalt not covet But sin taking occasion by the commandment Wrought in me all manner of concupiscence For without the law sin was dead For without the law sin was dead For by the law is the knowledge of sin Romans 3 verse 20 For where no law is There is no transgression Where no law is There is no transgression Romans 4 verse 15 For sin is the transgression of the law Sin is the transgression of the law 1 John 3 verse 4 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster To bring us unto Christ The law was our schoolmaster To bring us unto Christ That we might be justified by faith Galatians 3 verse 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster To bring us unto Christ That we might be justified by faith For by grace are ye saved through faith And that not of yourselves It is the gift of God Not of works, lest any man should boast Ephesians 2 verse 8 and 9 To him that worketh not But believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly His faith is counted to him for righteousness To him that worketh not But believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly His faith is counted to him for righteousness Romans 4 verse 5 Not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law But that which is through the faith of Christ The righteousness which is of God By faith Philippians 3 verse 9 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster To bring us unto Christ That we might be justified by faith The purpose of the law The purpose of the law But The purpose of the law Is twofold The purpose of the law is twofold Firstly By the law is the knowledge of sin But secondly By the law comes the knowledge Of inbred sin And our enslavement to sin As a result of our inbred sinful nature By the law is the knowledge of sin But secondly By the law comes the knowledge of inbred sin And our enslavement to sin As a result of our inbred sinful nature Romans 7 verse 19 For the good The good that I would I do not I do not But the evil which I would not That I do Now if I do That I would not It is no more I that do it But sin that dwelleth in me And evil is present with me For I delight in the law of God I delight in the law of God After the inward man But I see another law in my members Warring against the law of my mind And bringing me into captivity To the law of sin Which is in my members O wretched man that I am Who shall deliver me Who shall deliver me From the body of this death I thank God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord I thank God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord For whosoever committeth sin Is the servant of sin Enslaved to sin But if the Son therefore shall make you free Ye shall be free indeed John 8 verse 34 and 36 The fulfilling of the law The giving of the law The comprehensive summary of the law The condensing of the law The curse of the law The purpose of the law And now The fulfilling of the law Matthew 5 verse 17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law Or the prophets I am not come to destroy But to fulfill The fulfilling of the law Do we then make void The law through faith? Do we then make void The law through faith? God forbid God forbid, yea We establish the law We establish the law The fulfilling of the law But If While we seek to be justified by Christ We ourselves are found Sinners If while we seek to be justified by Christ We ourselves are found sinners Is therefore Christ the minister of sin? Is therefore Christ the minister of sin? Galatians 2 verse 17 If while we seek to be justified By Christ we ourselves are found sinners Is therefore Christ the minister of sin? Romans 6 verse 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin That grace may abound Romans 6 verse 15 What then shall we sin Because we are not under the law but under grace Titus 2 verse 11 For the grace of God The grace of God That bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men Teaching us that Denying ungodliness and worldly lusts We should live soberly and righteously and godly In this present world The fulfilling of the law Christ Fulfills the law In and through us beloved He fulfills the law By the indwelling of his Holy Spirit Who now writes his laws Not on tables of stone But in the fleshly tables Of our redeemed hearts 2 Corinthians 3 verse 3 I will put my law in their inward parts And write it in their hearts Jeremiah 31 verse 33 But Don't believe that This means That when we face temptation to sin Don't believe that this means that we Don't have to choose To obey His Holy Spirit's And caution And all the light That he has given to us Who will then Who will then enable us To turn away from temptation And thus fulfill the demands of his moral laws And thus fulfill the demands of his moral laws and commandments Romans 8 verse 1 There is therefore now no condemnation To them which are in Christ Jesus Hallelujah But wait That's half a sentence There is therefore now no condemnation To them which are in Christ Jesus Who walk not after the flesh But after the Spirit For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus Have made me free from the law of sin and death For what the law could not do In that it was weak through the flesh God sending his own Son In the likeness of sinful flesh And for sin Condemned sin in the flesh That the righteousness of the law Might be fulfilled in us That the righteousness of the law Might be fulfilled in us Who walk not after the flesh But after the Spirit For they that are after the flesh Do mind the things of the flesh But they that are after the Spirit Do things of the Spirit For to be carnally minded is death But to be spiritually minded is life and peace Because the carnal mind is enmity against God For it is not subject to the law of God Neither indeed can be So then They that are in the flesh Cannot please God But ye are not in the flesh But in the Spirit If shall be that the Spirit of God dwell in you Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ He is none of his Verse 12 Therefore brethren We are debtors Not to the flesh To live after the flesh For if ye live after the flesh Ye shall die But if ye through the Spirit Do mortify the deeds of the body Ye shall live For as many as are led By the Spirit of God They are the sons of God For as many as are led By the Spirit of God They are The sons of God Galatians 5 verse 16 This I say then Walk in the Spirit And ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh This I say then Walk in the Spirit And ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit And the Spirit against the flesh And these are contrary the one to the other So that ye cannot do the things that ye would But if ye be led of the Spirit Ye are not under the law Now the works of the flesh The works of the flesh are manifest Which are these Adultery Fornication Uncleanness Mischievousness Idolatry Witchcraft Hatred Variance Emulations Wrath Strife Sedition Heresies Envying Murders Drunkenness Rebellions And such like Of the which I tell you before Even as I have also told you in time past That they which do such things Shall not inherit the kingdom of God They which do such things Shall not inherit the kingdom of God But The fruit Of the Spirit Is love Love Joy Peace Long-suffering Gentleness Goodness Faith Meekness Temperance Self-control Against such There is no law And they that are Christ's They that are Christ's have crucified the flesh Have crucified the flesh With the affections and lusts With the passions and lusts If we live in the Spirit Let us also walk in the Spirit Now these last two verses Are vitally linked to one another To understand all these verses we preached on Listen carefully there They that are Christ's In this building Have Crucified the flesh With the affections And lusts They that are Christ's Have crucified the flesh With the affections and lusts What does that mean? If we live In the Spirit If we live in the Spirit Let us also walk Let us also walk In the Spirit What does that mean? Enoch Walked With God Genesis 5 verse 22 Can two walk together Except they be agreed Amos 3 verse 3 This I say then Walk in the Spirit And ye shall not Fulfill the lust of the flesh Galatians 5 verse 16 Whosoever abideth in him Sinneth not 1 John 3 verse 6 He that saith he abideth in him Ought himself also so to walk Even as he walked 1 John 2 verse 6 And now little children Abide in him That when he shall appear When he shall appear We may have confidence And not be ashamed Before him at his coming 1 John 2 verse 28 Now little children Abide in him That when he shall appear We may have confidence And not be ashamed Before him at his coming 1 John 2 verse 28 The giving of the law The comprehensive summary of the law The condensing of the law The curse of the law The purpose of the law The fulfilling of the law And now The bearing of the law The bearing of the law And its consequences That's a statement They have made void thy law Psalm 119 verse 126 They have cast it away As worthless In all their religion In its context Of what David was saying They have cast it aside Buried it As worthless That's staggering isn't it That's staggering Christ stated in John 16 verse 7 That the Holy Spirit when he is come Will convince Convict the world of sin When he is come He will convince The world of sin Of righteousness and of judgment Staggering That's a staggering statement The sword of the Spirit Who will convince the world of sin Of righteousness and of judgment Is the word of God And the word of God teaches explicitly That by the law is the knowledge of sin God's way God's way When he is come He will convince Convict the world of sin D. R. Moody said The first work God will ever do in your life Is to convict you of sin Of righteousness and of judgment If you bypass that Anything you say is the Holy Ghost in you Is not the Holy Ghost You cannot bypass God's first work in your heart You cannot How can you cry to God to be saved When you don't know you are going to hell How can you cry to God to save you from sin When you don't realize you are a sinner Without the law Sin is dead By the law is the knowledge of sin God says in the New Testament And most certainly what God Has taught in the context of the New Testament Is that is God's way To bring a man to the consciousness That he is in trouble for eternity Desperate trouble The godliest man I ever knew in my life His name was Will MacFarlane He has been dead a long time now But that was one of the greatest honors and privileges God ever gave to me as a young preacher Is to know that man He certainly was probably the most anointed preacher I have ever heard in my life You cannot believe how children Not only grown ups Held on to every word unable to breathe in fear As God came through him Anointed amongst the nicest few I believe in the history of the church Was this godly Will MacFarlane Mr. MacFarlane said to me When I was a very young preacher When they were young preachers out in the field Young preachers who were staggering in the world Young but full of fire The first week of the meetings Every night they would preach the law Then when everyone knew they were sinners The second week, the whole week They would preach the judgments of God Until everyone knew where they were going and trembled And then the last week they would preach grace Then he made this staggering statement To his knowledge of all the souls Wherever they went over all the years Of preaching thus to an old man He is not conscious of one That backs him This is the testimony throughout the world Of this godly man The method through which the old preachers preached The godly Charles Finney In 1821 God took hold of this man Finney here in America He was studying for law And he bought himself Because he was amazed At the amount of the law that he was studying That was from directly The Old Testament Of the Holy Bible So he went out, bought himself a Bible And began to study it And came out of the most awful conviction of sin He went out in desperation into the field Crying out to God And God swept down and saved that man's soul As he looked up to Jesus for mercy But oh, he was desperate He was so stunned At the revelation of God in his heart That he was saved As the Holy Spirit bore witness with his spirit And the peace of God flooded his heart He walked back to the town crying in his heart If I am truly saved I will give my life To bring the world to God The next day He left law forever And pursued God He went across the town, down the streets Every soul he found he went to With his joy unspeakable, full of glory With the peace of God that passes all understanding Flooding his heart The Holy Spirit bearing witness with his spirit That he is a child of God With his knowledge of eternal life and peace with God He swept through that town Leaving no stone unturned As he went from soul to soul to soul and soul Weeping Crying out of what God had done In his heart Through the law Making him become desperate to see God He was taken by a local preacher And taught the scriptures Taught the doctrines of the Bible for a short time And then given one opportunity to preach In one of the pulpits of the town So anointed was this man As young as he was No theological seminar That the whole town and community was staggered And shaken to the core A holy hush swept through that whole community As men and women and children began to see God He was then immediately asked to speak in other towns He went to a town where there was so much depravity And so much evil That he shouted from the pulpit in the first meeting That they are like hellhounds With all their blasphemies Hellhounds on their way to hell And their obscenities The whole town was angry But everyone came back It's amazing You can make people angry They'll come back So don't worry you might come back tomorrow They came back What did he do? He preached on the ten commandments In the light of the rest of the scriptures But especially in the light of the rest of the law By the time he came to the sixth commandment Thou shalt not commit adultery Wicked men Began to fall down across the whole church The whole building And falling on their knees weeping And falling on their faces sobbing In fear In fear Of judgment of God As they were convinced of their evil Through the preaching of the law Eventually Within a short time The entire community had sought God for salvation They could not find one soul In the entire town and community That had not sought God with the whole heart And this is wonderful to those of you that criticize him Go back in history In that particular town not one soul was known to ever backslide Ten years went by One thousand five hundred towns and cities across America Had turned to God mostly in their entirety as their town What did he preach? The law For by the law is the knowledge of sin God says He will convince the world of sin And if that's not the first work Nothing you say was the Holy Spirit Is the Holy Spirit If that is not the first work God ever did in your heart No matter who you are And no matter what experiences you have Then he shook the world As he cried out fearlessly for those ten years From the law of God in virtually every sermon he preached I remember preaching as a young man And God had taken me aside In a very unique way I've never heard voices saying God Because then you'd be in trouble I never saw anything Oh but I knew it was God impressing In my heart I had no doubt That I should take this book and memorize the scriptures And I should bring the scriptures back to the pulpit of God Because those that have one eye outer of fear of God Or reverence toward God or discernment about God Will desire the scriptures as they stand Without any apology More than anything else from the pulpit of God worldwide And I have found that the godly flock The compromising liberals Hate the word of God And hate anyone who preaches it At some convention where I was asked to preach As a very young preacher A lady got up And she was so offended that she began to scream She shook the entire hall She screamed in such anger She lost soul control Crying out to me from the back of the hall How dare you You are under the law And you bring everybody under the bondage of legalistic law That God has set us free from I'm under grace Don't you know as no one told you This is the dispensation of grace man You do damage Bringing the law And bringing everybody into fear like this Look at these young people, look at these people How dare you I said lady You confuse me I only quoted the New Testament And I didn't say one single word But the scriptures And every one was in their context I didn't add a word to the entire sermon Only the sermon and the mount I was young, it was one of the first things I ever preached Memorized and preached Trembling as I preached it Knowing how sacred it is For it is the greatest sermon that was ever preached in history It was Christ's sermon, nobody else's But oh, I said lady How is it That you regard the New Testament And the words of Christ as legalistic law That should not be allowed to preach In this dispensation How is that possible lady She screamed in such an insane way That she actually unnerved the entire convention You are under the law I am under grace The old Will Macfarlane Was standing close to me He walked up and said with a loud voice In front of her and everyone Keith boy You did well You preached God's word Word by word you gave us what Christ said Keith, everyone in my life That ever said to me I am not under the law But under grace Landed up in disgrace And she did Of which I will not go into detail She did Fearfully Everyone I have ever heard In my entire life As a preacher That has said those words I am not under the law I am under grace Ended up in disgrace Keith Disgrace Staggering I was in a town Where an amazing amount of people So they gathered us all in this biggest hall What we call the city hall Of this town, the town hall To be able to accommodate all the people While I was preaching Just quoting the word of God A woman got up So angry That she virtually destroyed the meeting She wasn't content with walking out You know Hoping no one sees that I'm too scared to sit under it any longer No, she wasn't doing that She stomped on her feet Down those wooden right through She got in her car and so revved that car and screeched But I saw preaching We thought what's wrong with her She was angry And she certainly did disturb that meeting In her anger at what was being preached We went home to the preacher's house that had invited me It was quite late He said, Keith, sit down with my wife Have a cup of tea here at the fire, it was cold I'm going to find that lady And I'm going to find out what offended her So we were sitting After a good while he comes back in the door And he's laughing, but nervously Do you know what offended her? I said, lady, what offended you That you could disturb, destroy a whole meeting Like you destroyed tonight's meeting What offended you? What did he say that offended you? She said, how dare he No one is allowed to speak like that In any public How dare that young man think he can speak to people like that How dare he If I ever see him I will slap him on the face, he needs it She was angry What exactly did he say that offended you and angered you That he shouldn't have had the right to ever speak He said this He said, lady, I hate to tell you this, but he was quoting The sermon on the mountain He was quoting, word perfect, what Jesus Christ said I don't believe that Christ said that Give me your Bible, lady Oh, now he reads She looks, trembles, shaken And she says these words I don't care Even if Christ said those words I will never go near a church that preaches such things That is not the Christianity I want Or will accept, or will embrace I don't care if Jesus Christ himself said those words Can I shock you? Is that not what so much of the church is saying today? I will not go near where they preach the law Of which, by the way, the sermon on the mount is based entirely upon For Christ quoted the law Again and again, and shook the world with how he expounded on the law He carried the law to the New Testament And showed us how to preach, and that's how Christ preached God have mercy on you preachers that don't emulate him To bring sin where it is To make sin sin again by the law Oh, are we not saying the same thing across the churches of the world today? I don't care if Jesus Christ said those words I will not go near a church or a pulpit or a preacher that dares To bring such things, that's not the Christianity I want So what do you preach because of that happening, preacher? What do you preach? As far as dispensationalism is The dispensationalists have dispensed In most parts of the world now Roughly 80% of the entire Bible As being meaningful in any way To this dispensation 80% and this is in the evangelical theological seminars God have mercy on you While I agree That there is the ethical law The judicial law With all the various facets of the law That James definitely said should not be imposed upon the rest of the world On the Gentiles I disagree with my whole heart That the moral law, no wonder you don't want anything of the New Testament anymore Because it contains the law From Christ preaching throughout You will find it related Sir, the Old Testament, without it We would be in poverty We would be bankrupt and paupers to understand the New Testament Don't talk to me about dispensationalism Don't you dare bring that 80% of the Holy Word of God as dispensation Listen carefully We wouldn't understand, we wouldn't be able to grasp most of the New Testament doctrines We wouldn't be able to even grasp the smallest facet Without the Old Testament Even the sacrifices were vital for us to understand The full revelation of the facets of why Christ died We wouldn't be able to grasp that We would be in poverty, even at the death of Christ on the cross Without the Old Testament Believe me, the Old Testament is there, vital for us to understand What sin is Yes, it was written to the Jews Yes, James said that, but the moral law is carried through the New Testament So what are you doing, burying the New Testament now? Beginning with the sun and the mount, why? Oh God, have mercy on you church We have multitudes coming to your buildings who are converted to religion But never ever repented of sin And will go to hell because you gave them a testimony that you can come to Jesus Come, receive, accept, but repent How do you say the word repent? If you don't preach sin and make people know they have to repent from it There's no way you can cry repent anymore Turn, or burn The old preachers used to preach Preach that today, they'll burn you Beginning, oh you won't believe, we'll write the matches Trust me, trust me Peter Hammond A very godly and anointed preacher in South Africa said these words What happened to sin? It's been thrown out of the back door by almost everyone Sin is defined in the Bible as the transgression of the law, that is the ten commandments But churches in their efforts to promote the concept of grace And their confusion between legalism and law abiding I have thrown out the commandments with the bath water And we are left virtually bankrupt of truth Because we leave out what God says we must begin with Or nothing will ever happen of truth Oh God have mercy God have mercy Let's leave all that I would say one of the greatest, if not the greatest living theologian in the world today In my understanding, and I have met many of the greatest theologians of our world that are living And many who died, I had that privilege But one of the greatest, if not the greatest in my understanding Theologian in the world today is a man called Mike Davis, Dr. Mike Davis The principal of IMI, Theological Institute in Texas He wrote a book, one of the books, and this book he says here He wrote Satan has quietly and ever so slowly Anethesized the church with false suppositions Which have insidiously become accepted as truth There is the great subtlety of Satan in this generation He has suggested that love has done away with the law Oh, the God of love mantra Is simply man has created a God in his own image A safer, improved from the holy God of wrath In the Old Testament, who calls in the New Testament For holiness without which no man shall see God The fear of legalism has become an excuse for sin That is inexcusable throughout the churches of the world The fear of legalism has become an excuse for sin And that is inexcusable Put aside this Satan-bred fear And walk in the fear of the Lord again, Church of Christ Not the fear of legalism For God's sake I wish I could go on with the book Your Face, O Lord, Shall I Seek Of this godly man who literally stuns me Every time I hear him As he expounds the word of God As I don't think I've heard Not by anyone living anywhere At the moment Oh The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul Psalm 19, verse 7 If God changed his mind In the light of the full revelation of God That is the first thing that will bring a man to repentance The first duty of a preacher is to declare God's law Otherwise He is a grief to God Martin Luther The law must prepare the way for the gospel And to overlook this is certain To fill the church with false converts Charles Finney The law was given not to save men, but to measure them Diyamudi Without which they would never know They are going to face judgment Satan Raised up a sect Such as that teach that men should not be terrified by the law But gently exhorted by the preaching of the grace of Christ Martin Luther Satan has raised up a sect That teach that men should not be terrified by the law But gently exhorted by the preaching of only grace through Christ The great Martin Luther Let us expound and beat out the ten commandments This is the way of our Lord and the sermon in the mount We can do no better than to follow his preaching, J.C. Ryle I think all which I have come to be awakened and turn to Christ Were awakened by the law and through fear I know not of one in my life That came just through the preaching of love and grace as it was I would call on everyone who has use of the pulpits of God throughout this world To preach the law of God until sinners cry out What must we do to be saved? Paris Readhead Because they do not know the law of God It is impossible for them to know their sin And the sin which they are now dead Will become alive to them through the law Martin Luther The only way we know we are a sinner Is by being confronted and taught God's moral laws Jonathan Edwards Before you speak peace to your hearts You must bewail your transgressions against the law of God George Whitefield The law Ignorance of the law is the bottom of all religious mistakes In the church of Christ worldwide John Newton I do not believe that anyone could preach the gospel Who does not preach the law of God Without sinning in the pulpit Charles Spurgeon Be careful church of Christ Today we have a concept that crowds means revival Let me tell you something That's the last thing you would ever look for in your life In this carnal, liberal, compromising generation Is crowds Drawn by entertainment and charismatic personalities Worldly entertainment that's carnal and sensual And emulates the world at their worst today And get away with it So long as it draws the crowds No sir, that's not revival You don't know one iota of anything With an intelligent heart of what God means by revival Or any true revival of this world By joining churches in their mega states And their wealth And they cry for money to be more wealthy You don't know one iota of the You are totally ignorant of what God's revival is in history By crowds If that you think that is revival Sir, you know nothing Unless you hear men being called to turn from sin By proclaiming thou shalt not As God said In every aspect of what God said Thou shalt not Until you hear that priest And see people flocking In repentance to God at the altars And turning from sin As they seek God for grace and deliverance You have never seen anything but blasphemy Sacrilege And the greatest lie the devil's ever given to this world Is crowds means God is here God have mercy on you church That you substitute God's way with entertainment Oh, be careful Do not fall into that satanic trap Which most of our churches has If you do not hear repentance being cried from the pulpit Run screaming for help And don't stop running until you are far away from that church Because that man will be judged by God eventually For letting people go to hell And bearing what God said you must preach Or do you think they will not be accountable to God Ah, I was in a town Where the whole town came to a standstill I wish I could say this happened to me Oh, every place I've been to But the entire town came to a total standstill As God swept in that whole community And throngs of people were coming to Christ for salvation The Christians were thrilled at God answering their prayers But many prayed for years for God to visit The social gospel people Oh, God came I left full of joy But when I returned I was told something shocking I was told That all hell had broken loose since you left, Mr. Daniel I was young And I trembled I won't tell you who It always would shock you who was behind it They have excommunicated Throngs of people in denomination upon denomination And by saying stand Everyone that said they were saved Or converted Or born again In those meetings Stand And every one of you now get out We don't want such teachings Oh, one church after the other Not all churches, trust me, but one church Then there was a meeting call Preachers, elders, leaders and others Filling this great hall Where they cried out that I would be barred From ever allowing back in any pulpit in that town For all the trouble I caused And so it was going on And one old German man, who is dead now, I knew him He stood up with a loud voice And he said, can I ask you a question All you preachers and all you people To my remembrance when I was in every meeting Every single meeting he only quoted the word of God In its context Books upon the books of the Bible The letters of the New Testament Word perfect and then expounding only with the scriptures Everything to my knowledge in its context Tell me what angered you like this If a man only brought the word of God Why do you so hate what he brought Are you angry with that young man Or are you angry with God For he brought nothing but what God said Not one word that I remember Even his prayers were all scriptures being quoted Is it God's word you're angry with That that was dared to be brought back in the pulpit of God It was a deadly silence Answer me Answer me You won't get away without answering me The old man said, oh, eventually The man said, yes Even if that's in the Bible That is not what we preach But Jesus Christ That is not what we preach That is not the Christianity we want The three leaders of that group That were behind us Fell down dead Within thirty minutes And fear fell on that town Because even the ungodly and the unsaved Acknowledged it was the judgments of God On the hypocrisy of preachers Who hate the word of God And will fight any man that dares to come with God's word Back in God's pulpit in this generation of compromise Liberal, hypocrisy And sacrilege in the pulpits worldwide Oh, I aged when those men died I aged a few years In the next two or three weeks Weeping before God And if I had to stand here and tell you The things that happened In the forty-six years I have preached To hundreds of thousands of people Thousands of pulpits I fear for the men that oppose God's word Because they're not fighting me, they're fighting God And you're in trouble, brother Sir, sorry If you fight God and his word We talk of the second coming of Christ A few years ago, Greg Gordon of the Sermon Index Asked me to preach in Scotland, close to Glasgow And I preached a sermon called Satan's servants in God's pulpits And all I did was quote what God says about people in the pulpits New Testament, in the last days Many false prophets shall rise Heretics, the word many is the most Under the banner of Christianity In the eschatology of what would happen just before Christ comes Many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive Many! No doubt it isn't just because they forced their way Oh, they wanted only these people The heap to themselves, teachers having itching ears Who close their hearts, you see, to the truth Who don't want it They want anything, any entertainment Anything, but don't dare touch our sin I wonder what percentage of the world I wonder what percentage of the preachers behind the pulpits Who say, oh, oh, have we not prophesied, preached in thy name And thy name have cast out devils And thy name done many wonderful works And then when I profess unto them, preachers I never knew you, apart from me that work iniquity You that never turn from sin How can you call for people to turn from sin Oh, in the last days, the majority of preachers according to Christ's words Many! And the Greek is the most, the most But say to me in that day, Lord, Lord Have we not prophesied, preached in thy name I never knew you Preacher, is that what Christ is going to say to you Oh, doesn't that matter, because your life is a brief moment You had better seek God, because Christ is coming Trust me, that sermon I preached over there Oh, there was problems with the microphone The second time it ever happened to me in my life was here That was the first time Now, two years ago Well, they have perfected, somehow doctored those sermons That you can hear word perfect So, they're putting it on Greg and Sermon Audio And all these other websites Look for it, Satan's servants in God's pulpit Sir, that gives you the second coming of Christ And what will happen in the church of Christ worldwide According to the Bible, the New Testament And all I give is the scriptures In case they matter anymore Church of Jesus Christ Christ is returning And the great deception And the greatest tragedy of our generation Is that the church worldwide, the majority Do not want what God says You have to preach Or it's blasphemy standing in the pulpit Can we stand, please? Father, have mercy on me I brought this in much weakness And far from perfectly But with my heart And with a pure motive For God to wake up people Even those that are steeped in hypocrisy In a way they will never recover Until they seek God for truth Beginning with the preachers of this land and world Because until that is preached It's total blasphemy In Jesus Christ's name Amen I wonder if I could ask the leader of this meeting If we don't close with hymns Or anything further and no appeal We are dismissed ======================================================================== Video: https://sermonindex2.b-cdn.net/ZWS-FBoN35E.mp4 Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/keith-daniel/the-call-for-preachers-to-preach-the-law-and-sin-before-the-coming-of-the-lord/ ========================================================================
