<TITLE>08. Par 72-78</TITLE>L-72 Now, see, there's no need of fighting. God takes care of all things. You see? Don't do it. Just love them. Return good for evil, all the time. Is that right? When anybody speaks good about you, well, be thankful. If anybody speaks bad about you, bless them anyhow. Sure. That's right. Let... God takes care of the rest. He's the One. Isn't that right? He's the One. So after all, we all got to answer to Him.
And no matter what it is, if your archenemy... If you got any feeling at all, and the worst enemy you got that you know was going to go to a place like hell, it'd make you feel bad.
I don't know of a person; I don't--can't think of the lowest person in the world today, that it was Stalin up there, ever who it was, I'd hate to know that man was suffering in the torments of hell this morning. I'd hate to know it. I sure would. I pray God have mercy upon his lost soul as he died (See?), that God won't let him suffer like that in eternity. Think of a human in the torment of hell, that the Bible pictures here to the unbeliever. Just think, a human being, why, I... It'd make a stone heart to want a man to go to a place like that. I'd do everything I could to keep him out of it. I sure would. And I feel sorry for him, to the depths of my heart, if he went to a place like that.
Now, you can see a brother doing wrong, and--and try to guide him, but if he won't listen, then the only thing to do is love him, anyhow, and pray for him. Isn't that right?

L-76 Now, how many loves Him with all your heart? with all your heart, just love the Lord? That's just good. Now, keep that up. Just keep that up. And just want to love Him more.

L-77 Now, this morning, in the blessed old Word here... Oh, it's such a marvelous thing to read this--this New Testament, Old Testament, any of It. But the 4th chapter of Acts this morning where we start for a little preview now. We're going back. This is during the time that the Church had just been rekindled. And this is the time that we like to speak of.

L-78 Now, somebody, don't let me speak too long. I got a funeral service right immediately after the service here, at Coot's Chapel, this afternoon at two o'clock, a Mr. Underwood. And tomorrow afternoon, a Mr. Tinsley, our neighbor here, died yesterday. And so, eighty-five years old, and so I have his funeral tomorrow.
I just asked Sister Gertie if she'd come with the hymn for me, to play one, 'cause I don't think they even have a song or anything for this afternoon, the people, I guess. And I'll ask Sister Gertie if she'd come play for me this afternoon. Maybe we can get fixed for tomorrow for Mr. Tinsley's funeral...?...
