<TITLE>02. Par -</TITLE>L-920-7 Now, I would like for the people to know that sometimes in answering these questions, it's hard. It takes a lot of grace to stand here, if you know the love that I have for you people. I couldn't express it. I don't even express it to my children; I don't even express my--my deep love for my wife as I ought to, because I'm--I'm temperamental, and I just keep going in one straight line. There's only one thing I'd express my whole love to: that's God Almighty. And I--I just love Him first of all. Other people I love, but I--I don't want to get--I don't want to mar that love that I have for Him; let that be first. So therefore, when I answer your questions, I'm answering it with love in my heart to you, but one thing before me all the time: that's Jesus Christ (See?), in that way that He'd answer it.

L-921-8 Sometimes I might have to answer... It might hurt, might scratch, and I--I don't mean it to be that way. I'm answering it with one purpose, as I said, Christ before me. And I got to remember that It's Him that I'm... I've got to give an account for. So my first love is to Him; my second love is to you people, and so I--His Church that He's purchased with His own Blood. And He really loves you more than He loved Himself, because He gave Himself for you. You're the purchase of His Blood, and I--I handle it just as careful and sincere as I know how. But then, in doing it sometime you think, "That was a very rude remark (I'm about...); it's so blunt and flat." I'm doing it with Him in my mind (See?) to try to make--that the rest--everybody see just that it must be this way. It's not any--anything to hurt or no more than just to make sure that the people gets it, and I hope everybody receives it in that way. And now, in here we find out what is on our minds.
And as I see you all all assembled this morning and everything packed around, and I think we got a overflowing crowd in the--in another church. A sister church has picked up a--a radio or some kind of a--a telephone hookup. That's... The overflow is in that church this morning; I understand. Brother... Or another brother's got a--a church that's got the overflow that's being transmitted from here to that church. That's so that you won't have to stand on each other's feet and things around the walls.

L-921-10 Now tonight, the Lord willing, we'll have a--we'll begin early tonight. I'd like to ask the pastor and the--the board if they would... Let's start just a little bit early tonight, 'cause the people, some of them are here, and they'll have a long drive to drive. And I'd like to start at least a hour earlier tonight, if we could, and finish that out. So you... Just as soon as you have your lunch after 6 o'clock or any time, why, I'd start. See? Say, you usually start at 7:30 don't you? Let's be--let's let me be on the platform by 7:00. See? And there by 8:00 or 8:30, or something like that, it'd give you time to--to go to your homes and be ready for tomorrow's work, if there is a tomorrow.
Now, the Lord be with you and bless you abundantly, and I'll go in as soon as this service is over and pick up these other questions and try to answer them out. I just write on them, just a little--little pieces of notes and so forth, that I can--I can... Kinda forget the Scriptures. Then when I'm in the room studying, then I (I like to refer back to them somewhere, and I got it here.) and just jot it down on a piece of paper. And therefore, if it's in a--in a encyclopedia I have to pick it up, or some expression of a word, or a name, I've got it wrote before me. I don't have to bring a big bunch of books and so forth; I've got it there.
