<TITLE>03. Par 20-28</TITLE>L-20   And men come together, in hopes of finding out something. They want to know, to find a solution or some kind of a system, a time of lifeline, to keep our world together. We gather here this morning for that purpose.

L-21 Men meet in different circles, to find out there's something wrong. We all know there is. And there's something wrong in the world, and we must try to find this out. And men gather in these circles to find out what the solution is. This happened many times in our world, what we call "falling apart." We're living in the time that when our--our... not only our nation, but our whole world is falling apart. There seems to be nothing that has the foundation, that's, that can stand.

L-22   We tried in so many different things. We've--we've tried to educate the world, to an understanding of one another. We... And we've had different systems of League of Nations, and U.N.'s, and so forth, to try to bring understanding to man. The Christian world has tried to educate the people to an understanding. We tried to denominate them to an understanding. And seems like we're right back, like it always has happened, the whole systems are falling apart, something wrong.

L-23   We want, seriously think of this, for the next few minutes. Just don't enter this now, just to say, "Well, we walked over and we set down. We had a breakfast. We heard testimonies, and so forth." But let's, with all of our hearts, get down to this and think of it.

L-24 Remember, it's our life, and there's nothing no more important than our life. There's nothing no more important, no matter how much we gain in the world, or how great we become here, but we got to come to the end of the road. And then the... That's a telling time, and we must approach it with all the sincerity we know how to do.

L-25   When, the people in other times, when people tried to find some way of survival, and they went to systems. And the only way that they can go to any other system, than the way that God has laid down, is to get away from His Word. Men in other ages has done this, the times past. They all tried to get away, and tried to control the world, and make a system of politics, and different things to try to control and hold the--the world together. And, they, in order to do that, they have to get away from God's plan of doing it. See? They're... God has a way of keeping this thing together. And the only way that men can ever adopt some other way, he has to get away from the original way.

L-26   You see, before there can be a lie, there has to be a truth that that lie comes from, because a lie is the truth perverted. All sin is--is righteousness perverted. That's all sin is, is to... See? The Devil cannot create anything. He perverts what God has created. There's only one Creator, and that's God. A lie is a truth perverted. Adultery is the right act perverted. And anything is, that's wrong, is the right that's been perverted.

L-27   So, therefore, to take any other system of keeping the world together, than God's system, it's a perversion. So anything perverted has to have an end, because everything that had a beginning has an end. It's the things that did not begin, that never dies, never has an end.

L-28 And there's only one thing that never did begin, and that was God. Therefore, the only way we can ever live Eternal is to have God's Own Life in us, and that's Eternal Life. And we... God separated Himself among us, and given His Spirit like He did on Pentecost, and It was seen in symbols of Fire, from the Pillar of Fire that separated Itself amongst the people, to give His Own Life out to the people. And through this, the mind of Christ should be operating among us.
