<TITLE>06. Par 45-53</TITLE>L-45 Last Sunday I started to go over to Brother Cauble's. And I heard this church bell ring, and I just walked up and down in the yard. I couldn't stand it. That was all. I heard you, so I--I--I just had to come down.
So now, let us just bow our heads now and speak to our Maker, and then in a word of prayer. Has anybody a special request? Just raise up your hands, just say, "I..." Just make it known. God knows what's on your heart. Now, just keep your request on your mind.

L-47 Most holy God, Who has created heavens and earth by the Word of Thy mouth, by the thoughts of Thy mind. We are coming into Thy Presence, through Jesus Christ our Lord, to give Thee thanks for all that You have done for us. And we're so grateful to You, Lord, this morning to know where we are standing, to know the position that we are in this morning, and the history of time, and the future that's coming. Knowing today, that by the grace of God, that we've been washed in the Calvary's Blood, that we are prepared with faith in our hearts to meet Him if He should come today. We should say, "Even so, come, Lord Jesus."
And we see the sin heaping up, until it seems like the world staggers under the impact of sin. How that drinking and gambling, and carousing, and nudeness, and, O God, the filth, and dirt, and muck of the people, and how they, if they could just realize... Lord, does those people who dresses like that in those little old ungodly clothes, and get out there on the street, do they realize that they're nothing but bugs and dust, that maybe in another week the bugs will be eating that body that they're so glorifying? Do they realize that the cankerworms will eat it up and their soul will be yonder in an eternity without God, without Christ, without a hope, sinking in deep despair, to be simply annihilated at His coming? O God, give us voices of--of warning, that we might warn every soul of this danger that they're approaching.

L-49 Be with us today and give us words of wisdom, as Solomon once said in the Ecclesiastes, that we would be wise builders, that we'd be the shepherds of this assembly. And we pray, Lord, that as we seek out words to say, that they would be--they would be masterpieces that would catch the heart that's so in need here this morning.
We have not come and gathered under this hot roof today just to be seen, but we have come here because we love You, and because we are desiring to hear from You. You are our Lover that we love, and we desire to hear Words from Thee. We are grateful for what we have already heard. It will long stay with us. Now, give us the portion that You have for us today, as we wait further on Thee. We ask it in Jesus' Name, and for His sake. Amen.

L-51 Now, it's... [Tongues and interpretation are given--Ed.] We are grateful for these exaltations from the Spirit; they tell us and warn us to watch the Words that maybe the Holy Spirit is going to speak to us today. And we don't know just what He has in store for us, but we do know that there must be something that He's going to bring forth. Maybe a question's on your mind, that He'll speak it through there. He might speak it through the message this morning. He might speak it tonight at the service. He, somewhere along today, He's trying to, look like, warn someone to catch the Word.

L-53 Now, to turn to the written Word, let us go over in the Book of Exodus, for the Sunday school lesson.
Do you have a baptismal service? [Brother Neville says, "No, not until six o'clock this evening."--Ed.] No. The baptismal service at six this afternoon.
