<TITLE>02. Par 7-12</TITLE>L-7   And then I'd expect you brethren, at any time that you see me to get away from this Scripture, to come to me privately and tell me where I'm wrong. I don't care if you're one of the trustees or the... or if you're the janitor, whoever you are, you're duty bound to me, as a brother in Christ, to tell me when I'm wrong scripturally. If there's a question, let's set down and solve it out, together.

L-8 And that's why you come, I suppose, to me tonight, brought me in here, is because that there's questions here that seems to be questioning you in your mind for the things I have--have here. Now remember, brethren, I don't know... there's no names signed to any of these tickets, but... and they're wrote, and I can't... don't know who wrote them, but they're questions that's on your mind, and I'm here to answer them the best of my knowledge.

L-9   And remember, God is looking to me to see that I stay in the Word. And I'm looking to you to see that you carry out the Word, see, see, in this church. And keep it spiritual, for, remember, all the forces of--of the dark kingdom of Satan will be turned against you as you begin to grow in the Lord. And you must be soldiers, not just fresh recruits. You're aged soldiers now, and been trained to fight. And Satan will come among you and cause you to dispute with one another if he can. Turn him down just immediately; you're brethren; and it's the enemy. And we're here to hold a standard in this evening Light time, that, when the world is darkened and the whole church kingdom is going into the Council of Churches. And pretty soon they'll try to tack a sign on this door here, "Closed!" And then we're going to have to meet other places, 'cause they'll certainly close these churches one of these days if we don't take the mark of the beast. And we're depending on staying true to God till death sets us free, and that's what we intend to do.

L-10   Now straight to the... And I would ask, that if ever a time that any of these things come into question, that this tape may be played before the members of this church, see, at your meetings, or prior the meeting, just before the meeting start. Turn this tape on and play it! And may the congregation here understand that these man are duty bound to God, as their oath in this church, to help hold these principles. You may disagree with them; and if I let you run it, then I'll disagree with you. We've got to have some source somewhere where there's got to be an ultimate. And the best that I know, I'm giving it under the Holy Spirit, letting Him be my ultimate. And let this tape be your ultimate on these questions.
10a        Now, the first one is:
How shall the church act towards calls for financial help of... for food and clothing? What--what act, what--what should the church do?

L-11 Now we realize that the church is responsible for its own, for our members here of the church, we are totally responsible as far as we have needs to supply them with. We are responsible for our own, that's, steady, constant members of the tabernacle that come here and worship with us. We are duty bound to them, as our brothers and sisters who have proven to be our members of this gathering.

L-12 Now, we realize that there is millions tonight without food, without clothing, and we would love to be able to help the whole group of them, to do everything we could; but financially we cannot do that, we can't support all the world. But we are duty bound to our own. And I think, in that, and then if we have anything left over that you would want to contribute to people who are not members here of this church, something that you'd want to give to them, it should be met between the board of the deacons.
