<TITLE>02. Par 6-10</TITLE>L-6 And we would ask tonight, Lord, that You would shake Your church as never before, that we might know the hour that we're living. For truly in last evening's reading we find that this church age was to be a lukewarm, just beginning to get into the world. And the--the vine of formalism growing around the church and choking out the spiritual life of the church, so, God, tonight, send in the sickle and the grubbing hoe, and cut out all the weeds that's choking out the church. All the great spiritual blessings of the church that it deserves, and that Jesus has died that it might receive, may it come a hundredfold tonight, a great shower of His blessings upon the people, as we reverently wait, Lord.
And as we open Thy Word, knowing that It is the Word of Life, and it's God Himself painted on a page, we would ask that You would send the Spirit to the heart of Your servant, Lord, and get a context that would be just appropriate for this hour. Hear the prayer of Your servants, Lord, as we pray together, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and for His glory. Amen.

L-7 Daniel 5:25, this is the writing that was written:
MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
We are confronting something. There is not a bit of doubt in any heart here, but what there is something that's fixing to take place. And we being Christians and the timepiece, that the world has not got the answer to this day... Science hasn't got the answer to this day. And the most pitiful thing, and part of it, the church hasn't got it, when we ought to be the place where people can come and find these things. But we have drifted away.

L-8 Now, in every age at the junction of each age, there's always been warnings before judgment. And if people spurns warnings, there's nothing left but judgment. There's only two things: mercy and judgment. And when you spurn mercy, judgment has to come automatically.

L-9 And anyone could look upon the streets, and read the newspapers, and listen to the--the radio. And we all are aware that something is wrong. And being that it is wrong, God's Bible never leaves us without an answer to these things. And to see the condition our nation has got into, we know that there cannot be anything left but judgment to us. And I say this statement without any apology. If God lets the United States of America, our lovely country and home, get by without judgment, He will be duty bound to resurrect Sodom and Gomorrah and apologize for burning them up. That's right. For we're guilty of the same sins.

L-10 God loves sinners but hates his sin. And so you see, God has to act the same every time. He cannot act one way at a certain time, and that same kind of a crisis rise, His action on the first has to be on the second the same way, or He acted wrong when He acted in the first place.
We are mortals, and we're--we're finite mind. And He's infinite. Therefore, we get smarter and more educated as the days go on, and the generation rise and falls. But God was perfect to begin with. He does not get any smarter, because He was infinite. And then if the infinite God was called on the scene to act, and the way He acted the first time, it will have to be His decision every time when the same crisis arise.
