<TITLE>03. Par 9-11</TITLE>L-9 That's why we're here in America now, waiting for the hour that when we can cross the seas again, where we can go into those people. And the offerings and so forth that we get, all over the expenses, goes directly to that cause. Then when we get there at the judgment bar, you'll see that that's the truth. That everything that we have done with reverence, we've put it to the Kingdom of God, every cent that we can, and live as meager as we possibly can do, so that the Kingdom of God...
I do not believe that we ought to be building three or four million dollar churches and preaching, "Jesus is coming," and men on the field preaching the Gospel with no shoes on. It's not right. My brothers is on the field.
Other day under investigation, and the fellow said, "You buy your suits from Penney's and pay seventeen dollars?"
I said, "That's right."
Said, "Well, you can afford better suits than that."
I said, "Not when my brothers are eating two meals a week, no shoes on their feet, preaching the Gospel that I'm standing for. I can't afford any better than that."
That's exactly right. We have no right. No, sir. We have no right to blow millions for big buildings that's almost morgues anyhow. And millions are dying that don't even know Jesus Christ as Saviour, and crying and begging to receive It. And we put a big church up on this corner and proselyte this one on the other corner over here, make fun of them and tell them they're all wrong. Millions of such things are going on, and millions dying yearly that never heard the Name of Jesus one time. While we're fussing, they're dying over there without knowing Christ. And God's going to hold us responsible for it in that day.

L-10 Well, that wasn't my text. I--I just can't help from saying those things. So you--you come to hear Brother Thoms tomorrow. He's here in the building somewhere, somewhere. I know he is, he and his wife. And, yes, Brother Grumett, I'm certainly glad to see he and his little wife there. And they'll be here at two is it? Two-thirty tomorrow afternoon.
The Lord bless you. Before we read the Word, let's bow our heads for a word of prayer. And I might say this before I pray. If the Lord willing, I want to preach tomorrow night, if the Lord willing, on "As The Eagle Stirs Its Nest."

L-11 Lord, You are our only hope, the only means of salvation. And we are so glad, Lord, when we think about overseas, to the millions setting in darkness, worshipping animals. And they're worshipping images made of mud and of stone, sprinkled with blood of fowls and animals, seeking for mercy, breaking their bones, and cutting their faces, and trying to find peace... And here in our own lovely land, Jesus Christ has been so good to us to give us peace, and we can hardly get the people to walk across the street to receive it. No wonder judgment is hanging in the hangers. O God, we would pray tonight that You'd be merciful to us.
And we pray for our Brother Thoms, as he and his little wife crosses the sea. May he be anointed with the Holy Ghost, to bring mercy and peace to those that are setting in darkness. Bless this young couple, Lord, as they're yet youthful, and can stand the wear of the jungle. We pray that You'll be with them.
