<TITLE>10. Par 38-41</TITLE>L-38 And now we've got what we call the U.N. And it's playing the same part. Why is Castro doing what he's doing, if there is a police force that can stop it? See? We think that we can do these things, but we cannot. There is some little something starts, and from there it begins to roll.
That's the same thing starts in a church. A little tattle starts in the church, and it rolls up into a place that'll break the church up and separate it. That's what broke up the Pentecostal group. That's what makes them about twenty or thirty different organizations. That's what broke up the Lutherans. And now, we're nine hundred and something different organizations, of all the protestant churches.
Is it because some little something started. We should not be divided. We should be one Church, one brethren, one brotherhood, standing shoulder-to-shoulder in these days.

L-39 The young married couple might say this. "John and I got along real well. But one day we got into an argument. And from that time it went on till we finally divorced. Here I am with the children; John's married again."
Or it might have been, "I lived as true to John as I could. But a certain little curly-headed salesman come to the door one day. And I--I don't know what happened."
Or he might say, "I was as true to Mary as could be. But one day I was in a certain store, and this girl kindy passed by and well, from that time..." There you are. See, it has to have a starting time.
Well, I keep telling you of things that starts wrong and ends wrong. Is there anything that can happen that's got an eternal to it, something that can last, that's good? Yes, I want to say there is. And that's when a man meets God. From that time on he's a changed creature. He's never the same no more.
I don't care how low he's stooped in sin; I do not care how immoral the woman's been, or how low the man's been, how long he's been without God, and how many times he's spurned his grace, yet, when he meets God, from that time he's a changed man, or a changed woman.

L-40 Let's just speak of a few characters that met God. Let's think of Abraham. He was just an ordinary man. He was not any special person. You don't have to be a special person to meet God. You just have to be who you are, and then meet God.
Now, Abraham was not a Jew. Abraham was a Gentile from the land of Chaldea and the city of Ur. And he was just an ordinary man, walking out into the--the fields. And perhaps he come down from--from the tower of Babel with his father. And he dwelt in the land of Shinar, and--and maybe he went out in the morning and picked berries and had those, and went out in the bush and killed an animal to get his proteins and so forth: probably lived an ordinary life.
And he had married his half-sister, which was Sarah. And when she was sixty-five years old and he was seventy-five years old...

L-41 I've got a good friend here. I don't think he's in the building tonight. I've looked everywhere for him. I like the man. That's Milo Durney. I don't think he's here. Somebody said he was here the other night. But if he's here, he has certainly changed since I saw him.
Mr. Durney, if you are present, and I don't recognize you, forgive me just a moment.
I like Mr. Durney. He's a real man. And the friendship that we had one day, when I would--shot a bear up on top of the mountain. And we'd went up there to pick up a moose that Reverend Mr. Rasmusson, that you all know real well... And I believe that... No, I... Mr. Baxter had--had killed a moose, and--and the bear was in the clean-ups. And we were... I'd shot the bear. And he was laughing at me, because I'd shot it so far away and hit it so solid.
