<TITLE>13. Par 55-57</TITLE>L-55 That's what's been the matter with the church: not on the guard. Something's wrong. Oh, Brother Caddie used to sing a song:
We let down the bars.
We compromise with sin.
We let down the bars.
The sheep got out,
But how did the goats get in?
Let down the bars, that was all, begin to compromise. The three...
The congregation, voting for their pastor, would take some little slicker, in the stead of some man that was really an old fashion, hell fire and brimstone preacher, that'd handle the gospel with his bare hands instead of Hollywood gloves on.
The world's full of Hollywood evangelism. We don't need that in Pentecost. Let that go on out where it belongs. We want the old fashion kind, the kind that knows the truth, lays the axe to the root of the tree and let the chips fall where they want to. That's right. Back to the Gospel, brother. I'd rather be in a crowd, that'd go to meet Jesus, with five of those than a hundred thousand otherwise. Different. The honesty and purity of the soul and the heart in the presence of God... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-56 Now, if that little deer is real quick, and it stands there, like a many a little girl tonight, that some little snicklefritz come down the road... And she'll go out, and don't know any better, and put lot of lip stuff on her face, and paint herself all up, and make her eyebrows like that. If God wanted you like that, He'd a made you that way in the first place.
And you know, in Pentecost we're teaching somewhere around in here, I got it several times, liberation of women. What in the... What's the matter with you people? Liberation? Christ gives liberation from the world. That's the only liberation we have. I think you men that's teaching that need some liberation from the bonds of prison. No liberation, if... When you're in Christ... If you love the world or the things that pertains to the world, the love of God's not even in you. That's what the Bible says.

L-57 That's a big thing for a Calvinist to say, but I'm a Calvinist as long as Calvin stays in the Bible. When he gets out of the Bible, I'm an Arminian then. I believe in the real Truth of God's Word. They both had something, but they went out on limbs and died out there. But the Bible still lives in the trunk of the tree. Exactly right. That's in the Holy Spirit. If you love God, you don't even desire to do those things. That's right. If you desire to do them, then the love of God's not in you any more. That's what the Scripture says.
But now, brother, if you notice how the churches got in this conglomeration of gaiety, what's happened? Used to be, you wouldn't let your children go to the picture shows. The devil beat you on that. He set the television in the home. That's right. He did that. Now, I--I'm not saying good things don't come through the television, but you just watch what you turn on and turn off. You got Oral Roberts or somebody on there, or some good thing like that, look at it. If it isn't, keep it off. That's right. And if your kids won't do that, keep the thing out of your house. That's exactly right. You'd be better off. That's right.
In your everything, it just looks like that the whole thing's-- the whole thing's sick from the head to the feet, just a sinful, conglomeration of filth, it looks like. No wonder the Bible said, "All the tables is full of vomit." That right.
