<TITLE>06. Par 24-27</TITLE>L-24 There's no way of hiding, or down here. There's only way you have to figure to hide, that's go up, get out of it. And there is only one way up. Oh, how I like our Man in space. I--I like it. Because He said He would take us out of it. Get out of this thing... Yes, sir. There's no security in the--the nations.
You say, "I'll run to this little nation, that little nation." Why, it'll all be blowed up. And they'll... There's no security here in the nation. There's no security in our jobs.
And notice in this day, that home life has become a situation that ought to be dealt with. My, you see little boys going out and taking a rifle and shooting papa and mama, while they're laying in bed. Dishonesty amongst our women and men, our mothers and fathers... In lots of big cities, the husband and wife pack secret keys, or same keys, rather, pass keys to their apartment. Each one comes in, eat a meal somewhere. And one's got a date and the other one's got a date. My.

L-25 Have no more decency, no respects at home. Homes in these days don't have the old fashion homes (might--too many doesn't have), where the Bible is open and dad reads a chapter, and they kneel around the table and pray. People go in, set down and eat. Just I seen, people will go to the table and just start jaumming, and--and slopping around eating, never ask the blessing. You know, that just... I don't mean to make this as a joke; I want to say it for a point.
I noticed one time, it was out when we was living on the farm. It was... They was under a hog, under a apple tree. And them apples was falling off and hitting him on the head. And he eat apples all day long. And he never did look up to see where they was coming from. That's right.
Well, that don't only go on hogs. You don't realize where that food comes from. You better look up and thank God for it, because He was the One Who gave it.

L-26 We don't have no more security of the home. Send your children to school, what do they teach them out there? Many times, too many times, they teach them we come from apes. Well, we don't believe that. No. And if a man's no more than an animal, then eat, drink, and be merry. That's what makes so many juvenile delinquents. That's what makes so many crimes committed. Because if people's no more than a animal, it makes him act like an animal.
We got to tell him he's a son of God, born for the Kingdom of God, and he is somebody. This is just a negative, a picture, negative, waiting for it to be developed someday. And death is the only thing that can develop it.
When you die out to yourself, a new picture starts on the inside. And then that new creature, Christ Jesus, begins to show itself through. And one of these days, He will come and receive you up to Himself. Then the whole thing will be changed. And then this negative shadow will become a positive.

L-27 We find out that the security of the home is very uncertain. A young man can go out and get him a wife, a young woman take herself a husband. He might act like a gentleman and everything, but it's--it certainly is a chance to take.
And we find everything going on in the homes: everywhere, breaking up. America has more divorces, I think, than any other nation in the world. Where we're supposed to have civilization, and every year we find out that each year people begin to act a little more uncivilized.
Could you imagine men that could kill men and women and little children, and that's a--a cultured, what's supposed to be? In the old times, when the revolutionary was fought, when I believe it was Stonewall Jackson on top of Lookout Mountain, and another great general at the bottom. They had their train--cannons trained to one another. And then when the--got ready to fire the next morning, Jackson gave orders to go out. Hollered down to the bottom of the hill and said, "Brethren, get ready. We're going to fire on you."
