<TITLE>03. Par 8-10</TITLE>L-8 And so then I can hear them go on saying, "Well, I heard daddy talking the other night, and they're going to have a board meeting pretty soon, and this fanatic we got up there in that tower always warning us about our sins are so great that--that God's going to send in a nation and swipe us out, I hear the next board meeting they're going to excommunicate him. They're going to get him right off the board; he's too much of a crank for us modern people in this day. We just can't have nothing like that. He keeps us all tore up, warning us of judgment. And we just won't stand for it any more. Mother says when she goes to her card party that you hear that old tower man call out, 'It's wrong to do it; it's wrong to do it; God's going to judge it.' And mother and dad have a big hold in the church. And one day the preacher said, or the priests said--spoke about it. And he said that he thought that fellow was nothing but a fanatic," because the Priest had to kind of sway with the people, or if he didn't, he lost his job in the pulpit. I'm so glad to have men of God that's free that can preach the Gospel, regardless, and have no ties bound to them. And I'm happy to know that there's people that receive it when it is preached in its power.

L-9 But this... As they--the evening went on, the young women speaking of what was going to take place. Then the young man gathering at the tavern and after while--after getting drinking and the modern, would be today, the rock-and-roll parties, and sin got on it's way.
Somehow it's strange, when it gets dark, demons possessed creatures begin to move. I seen in a magazine here sometime ago, that some movie star said that night was made to live in. Night is made to sleep. And if you'll notice, you people here at the desert, it's your serpents and scorpions and snakes and lizards that crawl at nighttime, spiders and evil. Those who prowl at night around is evil. Night is very evil because it's darkness. And thanks be to God that there is a light that we can see to walk in. And people who walk in darkness are blind, not knowing where they're going. But the children of the light know because they're walking in the light. And Jesus is that Light. "I am the Light, the Truth, the life, the way."

L-10 And in the tavern as they were speaking, and after while, I can hear the--the dance stop and the--the jazz band cease for a few minutes, and somebody said, "Say, did you hear that old crank up there in the tower? He's been speaking again. Blowing off his head about judgment coming on. We're going to be blowed up, or blowed out, or something. Some nations going to come in and get us. Don't they know that we're the farthest advanced nation in the world? Don't they know that we are better equipped than any other nation? We could whip anybody that come along." Not knowing, that creeping right up on them, all the time, was the enemy. No wonder everybody's nervous. No wonder the day that we're living in is so tremendous.
