<TITLE>11. Par 104-118</TITLE>L-104   Now, the last chapter, previous chapter, we heard this, that, "How shall we escape, if we neglect this great salvation; Who was first preached to us by the Lord Jesus, and Him with those who heard Him?" The same things that Jesus did, to show, them same things like takes place here: same Angel of God, same works, same evidence, same everything, everything along, same Gospel, right with the Word. "If that was taught by the Lord, then confirmed by His disciples that we've heard," Paul being the same, "how shall we escape, if we neglect such great salvation?"

L-105 Now, Paul was saying that to his Hebrew audience. Now, they didn't have tape recorders, today, like we got here. But they had scribes who was setting there, taking It down just as Paul was preaching It.
And that's what It is right here. We're getting It by tape recorders, and these tapes go over the world, see, to show that It is the Truth. Our religion is not in vain, It's absolutely the resurrected Jesus Christ, same thing. Now we mustn't neglect It.

L-106   Now, just don't go away from church, today, and say, "Well, I kind of enjoy going down there. I like the singing, and the people are friendly around that little old church." Don't do that.

L-107 Brother, let your heart become a flame, say, "Here, I got to do something about this. I got to get out and see if I can get somebody saved."

L-108 And don't go out, saying, "Bless God, if you don't repent, you're going to perish." No.
Go at it gentle. "Be as wise as a serpent, as harmless as a dove." See, that's the way to go. Approach the person, if he's raising chickens, talk about chickens, to him, for a while. See? And then, first thing you know, you'll be talking about the Lord. If he's a farmer, talk about his farm.

L-109 If he sells automobiles, talk about his automobiles, for a while, "What nice cars you got," and so forth. See?

L-110 Till you catch the Spirit, when Father says, "Now is the time to approach him about his soul."

L-111 You can wind it off, see, "That's a fine automobile. You know transportation, today, has become great. Oh, how the nations has been brought close together; and the cities of our nations, close together. Friends and mothers can visit each other. You know, it's a wonderful thing to have automobiles like you're selling."

L-112 "Yes, sir. It sure is. Uh-huh." You know, puffing on his cigar, or whatever it is. "Yeah, them, them is good cars."

L-113 "Did you ever think of what the old-timers would have thought if they'd seen something like that?" Just keep going like that, you know.
After a while, say, "Yep, yeah, sure is."

L-114 You know, another thing it does, it brings like we having, like in revivals. People can come across the country, quickly, for a revival." See, you're opening the way, all time, you know.

L-115 If you feel Something chock up the way, stop right there, move over here. Like a doctor said, out at Phoenix, said, "Lord, fill my mouth with good words, and then nudge me when I've said enough." You see? Yeah. "Nudge me when I've said enough."

L-116   Now, notice now, we're going to start from the 15th chapter, or 15th verse of the 3rd chapter, closely now.
While it is said, To day if you... hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

L-117 Now watch Paul speaking here. Now it is said, "Today, after so long a time." We're going to get into it after a while, that, "Today, so long a time." Comes into the next chapter, "After so long a time."
... it is said, To day if you... hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the day of provocation, when they provoked God.

L-118 Now let's read the next verse.
For some, when they had heard, did provoke:...
Now what's he talking about? Gospel.
... howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
But with whom he was grieved for forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
