<TITLE>14. Par 43-45</TITLE>L-43 Well, you think that's something? Right down in our own country, every Thursday night in a certain big organizational church, the pastor and all of them puts on a beatnik game. Picture in the front page with a long beard, a beatnik. A certain denominational church, my friend called me the other night to come down, of a great holiness organization. And they were putting on a beatnik, or no, rock-and-roll party. And even the man was doing the telecast said, "Aren't you afraid that you'll get some criticism?"
He says, "Long has the certain--this church organization forgotten the beautiful art of rock-and-roll."
When it comes to a place that the church has to put entertainment, it's a miserable, backslidden, hell bound group of people. When it gets to the place that we cannot represent Jesus Christ in the power of His resurrection, fold up your doors and go back to the world 'cause your dead anyhow. Amen. Yeah, but that's it. Uh-huh. Oh, yes, we can't out glitter them. He is a Light. He is a glow, not a glitter. Jesus don't--is not a glitter like the world glitters, but He's a soft glow of Light. Amen. And you can't shine it. You have to let it shine. Don't you try to work it up because it won't work. That's what's the matter. If they can't get them one way, they get them another. If they can't work it up, to try to make their light shine, what do they do? They try--that's artificial make up. You can't make it shine. Just let it shine. Oh, hallelujah.

L-44 What time is it? I heard my watch alarm. I'm past time. He's raised from the dead. He is alive. What is the message today? Come, believe, go tell others that He is risen from the dead. He's alive and He appears to the elected church tonight. As He appeared then, what He does then... I've always told you that God is infinite and cannot change. And if that was His attitude towards the world then after His resurrection, it's the same thing today. And Jesus witnessed the same thing by saying, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man." Let us bow our heads.

L-45 Lord Jesus, sometimes I--I wonder if I'm not beside myself, when I think of seeing the horrible curse that's coming on this world, when I think of the churches that's trying to be entertainers, trying to copy after the world. Lord God, oh, You--You said, "Father, I pray that you take them out of the world." Take the world out of them, keep them from the world. You prayed that they might keep Your disciples from the world, and here they are going right back to the world, trying to compare with the world.
God, grant, help Lord; somebody will catch the message; surely, they'll know. You're the same yesterday, today, and forever. You're not dead but alive forevermore. We believe You, Lord. And how can a man believe unless You call him? Jesus said, "No man can come to Me, except My Father calls him first. And all My Father has called--has called, will come." And we know that's right. They will come. And it's just our duty to preach it and let the chips fall wherever they wish to, and the sheep hear the voice.
