<TITLE>03. Par 8-11</TITLE>L-8 The convention, of course, is for the speakers and so forth and get together, but we have another reason for a convention; that is, for the blessing of our souls, and for the healing of the sick, saving of the souls. And now, let us make this convention, each one of us put our shoulders to the wheels. And in our differences of one belonging to one denomination, one to the other, that doesn't mean a thing.
I'm a man; I love a Ford; and I rode over here in my son's Chevrolet. So I didn't fall out with him 'cause he bought a Chevy. I--I like the Ford, 'cause I've never had nothing else hardly but a Ford. So I like them. And you know what I found out is this Chevy takes me anywhere my Ford take me so... Just so we keep headed in the right direction, is--is the main thing. And that's the way I think it is. God wants us all to be headed in the right direction. And that direction is towards Jesus Christ.

L-9 Now, let us turn for a Scripture reading tonight in the book of Saint John the 6th chapter, and let's begin with the the 66th verse reading, if you're keeping the Scriptures down.
And from that time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him.
Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will you also go away?
Then Simon Peter answering Him, Lord to whom shall we go? Thou has the words of eternal life.
And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
May the Lord add His blessings to the reading of the Word. And if I should call it a text, I would like to speak on this subject for a few moments: "To Whom Would We Go?"

L-10 You know, man hasn't changed very much. He's still wandering about in the world seeking pleasure, restless, never satisfied, never coming to any right conclusions, never finding rest. He's just about in the same condition that he was when he left God in the garden of Eden and went out to shift for himself. He's been shifting ever since. And he finds it's a rough way to go. And it looks like he doesn't care very much, too many, just where this life will end up for them.
And if we could set down and take inventory, and ask the question of why are we here? How come that we ever come on this earth and what brought us here? And where is our eternal destination going to be?

L-11 I believe if we would all think that way for five minutes of our life, seriously, we would all speak like Peter did. Because Peter had found something in Jesus Christ that isn't in other men. That's the reason he asked, "To whom would we go?" He didn't say, "Where will we go? To whom will we go? For Thou has the words of Eternal Life." And wonder why that--that Jesus was so much different from other men. Why was it that He... Or what was it He had that other men does not have? There was something about Jesus that no man has, or had had to that time. And it made Him different.
And I think it's the same thing tonight, that a man when he becomes a Christian, there's something about him that's different from all of the other walks of life. No matter how good he may be, a good citizen, go the second mile, or be a good neighbor, but when he comes in contact with Jesus, there's something changes in him. There's something makes him different, noticeable different.
