<TITLE>10. Par 30-32</TITLE>L-30 Now, this old king, he thought he would just go any way the winds blowed, tossed about by everything. Why, you're never stable. You don't know what you do believe. And the people today, they'd rather stay home and see "I Love Lucy," or what is that? Lucy--Lucy something. They're very loosey; I'll take that again. They're loose enough, they're running to hell. Exactly. That might be all right for the--from the heathens, but that's not for Christians. That's right. It's not for Christians. Christians won't...?... and love the Word of God. If you've got something in you feeding on such nonsense as that, you need to repent. That's right.
All your old rock-and-roll and boogie woogie, where did it come from? Out of the heart of Africa. I just left Africa. You women with that paint on, you know where it come from? That's a mark of heathenism. They paint their face, and that's where you got it from. Heathens does it. Christians wash their face. Amen. That's right. That might kind of scorch a little, brother. You better be scorched here than burnt somewhere else. So you better get right. Amen.

L-31 God loves the Truth. And the Truth shall set you free. God wants you to know the Truth. Christ is the Truth, the Holy Ghost...?... [Congregation worships--Ed.] He's here now, the Holy Spirit, likes...?... power...?... under consideration His Word. And if the Holy Ghost is in you, He feeds on the Wor--Word of God, and not on televisions, and "True Story" magazines and love books. That's you people calling yourselves Christians wrap yourself up in. Why do your children...?
Just--just looky here. In less than three months time every teen-age kid in the country from five years old to eighteen knowed who David Crockett was. All out on the street singing, "Davy Crockett." Some kind of fiction story, nonsense: killed a bear when he was three years old. How crazy. But the kids will wear coonskin caps and everything else and guns on their side. Oh, a ten-cent store is just full of it, everywhere else. Nonsense.
And you Christians, with the message of God, if the world could put that over and sell a lot of nonsense and stuff to kids, how much more ought the Christians to put over the program of the Lord Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Ghost, the resurrection, and Eternal Life, the coming of the Lord. There's a hundred--thousands of kids tonight in America could tell you all about Davy Crockett and don't know a word about Jesus Christ.

L-32 What's the matter? That's why they're staying at home, stuck they're head in a television instead of the Bible. Got nothing against the television, if it's used for God's program, all right. It was God's way in the first way. Who made the airwaves and so forth? But the devil just took it and perverted it, is all it was.
Hollywood got a hold... Anything they get a hold of is rotten 'cause they can't come for nothing else. I read in a crime magazines where those most famous women out on the street of prostitution at fifty dollars a night, living with men and things all up and down the coast, and then run out there and some other four of five husbands... And you little girls want to pattern yourselves after that? When the man out there that's supposed to be such movie actors and so forth, when they live with women so much till the natural course of life is changing, and they become perverted. And saying you want to pattern yourselves after that?
Look yonder at Calvary where a Man hung on the cross and died. The only real Example that was ever put in the world for human beings to live by is the Man Christ Jesus. Amen. That's right. Then we call ourselves Christians and harmonize our souls with such as that. No wonder the world leaks in. No wonder something's happening. No wonder you can't have soul stirring meetings any more, because the world leaked in: borderline, halfway, wishy-washy, oh, my, what a condition.
