<TITLE>10. Par 29-32</TITLE>L-29 I'd rather have an old home with no rug on the floor, and with a little old iron bedstead setting there, and an old dresser somewhere, or whatever, and a little old kitchen table made out of boxes with a sign hanging on it, "God bless our home" than all the fine homes in the world, your pin-ups and nonsense that you have today, and a Bible laying on the table instead of all these old love story magazines and things laying around of dirt, and filth, and lust, and everything else to breed into the children. How can you expect anything else but a bunch of infidels and agnostics to answer out. That's true, friends. Bring up a child in the way that it should go, teach him on the Word of God.
Abraham Lincoln, until he was a grown man, had two books: One of them was the Bible and the other was the Foxe "Book of the Martyrs." Abraham Lincoln... And he studied that so hard, he read; he--he concentrated on that. That's what developed that kind of a character that Abraham Lincoln was.

L-30 Show me what you read. Show me what you listen to. Let me hear your songs you like best; I'll tell you what's in your soul feeding on it. "By their fruits you shall know them." That's right.
Go in to some of the places to eat, and that rattlety juke box nonsense. I've went in a many time and asked the man, if I done set down to order my dinner, 'fore I knowed that the thing was in the house, I'd go out and say, "Mister, how many records will that thing play an hour?" He'd tell me. I'd say, "Here, jerk the plug out and I'll pay you right now till I get through eating. I--I want to eat in--in--in decency." And I'll say, "I'll unplug the thing, if--if you just--just please keep that thing off while I try to eat back there, will you? And I'll pay you every record that they could play. If they play one just every two, three minutes, I--I'll make every one of them right (See?), while I'm in here." Oh, such nonsense, and of all that.

L-31 Now, that's the reason America's where she's all worm eaten today. That's the reason the very foundations is eat out from under it.
Now, you take people that's let the canker eat into them like that, how can you ever tell them people of the supernatural. The only thing they hear at church is some little doxology, or something, or other, or something about who's going to be the next mayor, and never the Word of God. See? If it is it's in some little baby mild form, like a little baby aspirin to an adult. See? It doesn't ease the pain of a--of a heartsick human being. That's right. You've got to have something that's God's hypo. Amen. It stimulates.
You know, He was called "The Lily of the valley." And the lily is where we get opium. Opium comes from the lily. And I'm telling you: If you're heartsick and wore out and tired of sin, just let God give you the opium from the Lily of the valley, and you'll find out it'll ease every pain and every care; and it'll set your heart looking towards God in respect to His Word and believe it with all your heart. Right.

L-32 Now, for a background, in the Bible we're going back over into I Kings just for a little bit, in a mental conditions, to let our mind drift back to a certain event. There was King Ahab of the Old Testament. Which King Ahab in his time, is a beautiful type of the--the New Testament. And notice. Just as Ahab married Jezebel, an idolater, and brought idolatry into Egypt, was a type in the--the seven dispensations of the Old Testament, as the seven candlesticks of the New Testament.
In the dark ages, the fifteen hundred years of dark ages, protestantism married Romanism and brought idolatry into the church just the same way. Watch the Bible and see if it doesn't say that. That's right. Through that fifteen hundred years of dark ages, you come out with a false baptism, sprinkling, the false name, false everything else. And God said, "You have a little light, and you have a name, but you've denied Mine." See? So that's the same thing.
