<TITLE>06. Par 17-20</TITLE>L-17 Now, it's may be getting a little late, towards nine thirty. But now we're going to have the communion service. Now, we call it communion, but it isn't communion. Communion is to talk, to commune. Commune is when we stop and talk to the Lord, communicate.
But now this is called, the Lord's supper. I wonder how some of these modernists that don't say "supper" any more and calls it "dinner," how they're going to work that around. See? Yes, sir. It's the Lord's supper. We just believe the Bible the way It says it. And we want you to know that Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterian, Lutheran, whatever you may be, you're invited, and a brother with us if you're born of the Spirit of God, to stand here and take communion with us.
We believe that these represent the broken body of Jesus Christ, and we believe that a Christian is duty bound to take it. We believe that a man that's not living right, that comes and takes it without being living right, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. That's why those churches calling themselves Christians was found in the Bible full of blasphemous names. You see? Because, taking the communion, and going out, and living any kind of a life brings a bigger stumbling block than all the bootleg joints that there is throughout the country.

L-18 You see a prostitute on the street, you know what she is. Look at the way she acts and dresses. You know her. But a Christian shouldn't do that--that. If you see a place down here that says, "Package Store," wines, whiskey, and so forth, you know what that is. That--that's that place. That's all right. Dancing, ball, and so forth, you know what that is. But... You expect the people in there to be drinking, gambling, lying, stealing, everything else. That's the--that's a cage of unclean spirits.
But when you see a place, that professes to be sons and daughters of God, walk in there, and the first thing see them deny the very Scripture to fit a--because it don't fit their creed... See them come in there, and talk about the work of God doing something, and laugh at it; there's that hypocrite. That's--that's that thing that's evil. And see them people come and taking communion, and go right out there in the street and live just like the rest of them? That's the biggest stumbling block that there...

L-19 I preached here not long ago, the disappointments at the judgment. That bootlegger ain't going to be disappointed when he hears his sentence to go to hell. He ain't going to be disappointed; neither is the liar, or the thief. But the disappointed one is going to be that one who thought he was right. That's the one. There'll sure be plenty of it. We know that. And God have mercy on our souls. This is something that can't be played with.

L-20 A few weeks ago, there was one setting here among us, alive, a fine brother, Brother Taylor. He's in glory tonight, went in just a moment's time. And now, we know that someday we're going. So now's the time to live right. Now's the time.
