<TITLE>03. Par 10-14</TITLE>L-10 And when we get to associating ourselves saying, "We're just a little better here than the Church of God," (You see?), or, "we're a little better than the Foursquare, or the Jesus' Name," or something like that, when we're just a... We might differ a little bit in ideas. We all went to eat dinner today; we all take different pie; but we're eating pie just the same. You see? That's the idea. So the idea of it is if--if we can just see our fellowship. So don't go to leaning toward organizations; lean towards Calvary. You become dead to these other things.

L-11 And I do believe, let me say this while it's on my mind. I do believe that an organization has played a good part. For there's many times, brethren, as bad as we hate to think it, there's been things that crop up among us and things like that, that's been heresies. And people will just take those heresies and scatter the people any way. And a group of brothers get together that's--that I... What I mean is going out like they did in the early days and all kinds of stuff. And--and we have it all yet today (See?), just still a moving. And a people that can bring themselves together...

L-12 The real picture of Pentecost, to my opinion, when it comes to organization, is the--the church, Brother Pethrus, the Filadelfia church in Sweden. Now, they don't care what kind of a doctrine you have, as long as it's Scriptural. If you want to see it this way, or that way, or anything, as long as you have fellowship and live a real clean holy life. There you are. That's good. And if you want to say that Jesus is coming on a white horse, and the other one says He's coming on a white cloud, look for Him that way. Just go ahead, as long as you live a good clean life and have fellowship. That's the way. That's it. That's...

L-13 Well now, that's one reason, friends, that I'm with this Business Men's group. Because I know there's a lot of things in there ought to be straightened out. But it's the--it's the best that we have. That's right. Yes. There's a lot of things that I'll have to say and--and you... The brethren here will tell you. I never pull any punches with them. I'm here as God's servant to tell the Truth. And I've got to answer for it. That's right. Brother Rose said, "That's why we like you." Well that's--that... Well, we can't... We--we've got to stay with this Word. See?

L-14 Just some time ago, I think, was you in... I was overseas, or over in the island last year, and they had a meeting, and some of the brethren was bragging about in this great meeting where they had business men around the country. And they were speaking about, "I had a little place down on the corner. My business was no good. And I had a horrible time. And the first thing you know, I--I come in to receive Christ, and--and, oh, I got everything now."
Now, that's good. We appreciate that. That's good, but prosperity don't always mean Christ. See?...?... and we have to watch that. Now, that's good. See, I... Nothing against that, but I kinda got after the brethren that night when we went down to the motel where we--the group of us were staying, and Brother Shakarian and all of us.
