<TITLE>07. Par 22-25</TITLE>L-22 A few days ago, or few weeks ago, when I helped pull eight Chicago men out of the airplane wrecked behind my house, piece of arm, and intestines hanging on the trees, and head laying out in the field, I thought then that men ought... "Have I preached Chicago hard enough? Have I done everything? Has them man set in my ministry, under my ministry? Have I preached Christ to those poor souls that met eternity in a moment's time on their way to a convention? Did I ever have the opportunity when I seen them pull the pieces of the men from place to place? Did they know the Lord Jesus?" Where they are now they can never go from that state they're in now.
Then I wonder, had we better be deeply sincere no matter what it cost us? Sometimes it costs a great price to be sincere. But we better be sincere, and on the right thing we better be sincere.

L-23 As I passed by and seen the heathens worshipping, where they'd burned their children, and where they feed them to the crocodiles, and so forth, and all kinds of human sacrifice, beating one another, and laying on spikes and nails, and tormenting, and cut their hands off, and breaking their feet, and so forth, and punching their eyes out, and looking at the sun till they go blind, with the deepest of sincerity, and yet wrong...
We must be more than sincere. We must be inspired by the Word of God that'll bring Christ to His Word and blend them together, and make It speak and act just like It did in the days of old. It's got to be that.

L-24 Notice. When Abel came... And when Cain made his great offering, he knelt down; he worshipped the Lord; he was just as sincere as Abel was. But Abel... No Bible in them days, he went and got a lamb by inspiration. No other thing could ever tell him. Inspiration: he got a lamb and put a--a vine around its neck and led it to the altar, and there slew the lamb. And God gave witness that he was righteous, for God had revealed to him. And that same revelation has been down through the age, in every age, and yet today, that the Church of the living God is not built upon buildings, upon finance. It isn't built upon social standings among the public. It's not built upon education. It's built upon the inspiration of the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ. That's exactly the truth. That's where the Church of the living God stands.

L-25 There is another picture looked at that. It was a placing of a son of the Old Testament. In the Old Testament when a child was born, a boy... In the Old Testament when a child was born into a home, it was given tutorship by a tutor, which is a very beautiful picture of the son today, that's born into the Father's house.
Now, we read in Saint John 14 said, "In My Father's house is many mansions." To we western people, that doesn't sound right. You have to go to the east to know what that means. The house was his kingdom. And the real way to translate that in our day would be, "In My Father's Kingdom is many palaces." Another translator said, "In My Father's apartment house is many apartments." He was off too.
But, "In My Father's Kingdom is many palaces." Because what the father owned was all this great province, this great place that he--he owned. And he had servants all over the place. And when his son was born, he gave a correct tutor, one that was--that was sufficient to educate his child, and to promote him, and to bring him up to be an honorable man.
And how beautiful the Father of heaven when He made His Church, He gave us a Tutor, the best there was in heaven, One that's worthy, and can guide us, and lead us. That's the Holy Spirit, is a Tutor to the Church to bring It up in the admiration of God.
