the Lord are right the commandment of the Lord is 14 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:24.760 pure the fear of the Lord is clean the judgments of the Lord are true and 15 00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:30.480 righteous this is what the Bible says about itself ask yourself anyone who 16 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.400 inclines themselves puts themselves to study God's word if there's not a 17 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.080 radical moral effect that changes I'm not talking about becoming a theologian 18 00:01:38.080 --> 00:01:44.400 we're not interested in more theologians we want disciples don't pontificate 19 00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:48.600 about what it means if you're not going to do it if you're going to study it 20 00:01:48.600 --> 00:01:56.240 God expects us to live it right so watch this how does these truths affect me 21 00:01:56.240 --> 00:02:03.720 again Psalm 19 watch the law of the Lord is perfect converting the soul that's 22 00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:09.000 how your soul is converted it's the law of the Lord it is perfect and what 23 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:16.040 does it do it convicts me that I'm a sinner and I need to be changed today if 24 00:02:16.040 --> 00:02:19.920 you cannot agree with that first statement of verse seven you've got serious 25 00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:26.000 eternal problem friend you're telling God that he isn't always talking about 26 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:32.800 that first statement in verse seven is the Lord saying you need me very badly I 27 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:44.240 will live on forever I'm God you need my salvation and that's your first 28 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:48.400 challenge second challenge is listen to this the testament of the Lord is sure 29 00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:57.080 making wise the simple making wise the dumb making wise

should open your 37 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:43.160 eyes when you walk yeah listen wisdom is the application of knowledge that's what 38 00:03:43.160 --> 00:03:50.480 wisdom is wisdom is knowing how to use knowledge listen God says in James I will 39 00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:57.200 give every one of my children wisdom if they ask me for it so ask is that 40 00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:07.600 amazing you

of the Lord is pure enlightening the eyes isn't that that even 47 00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:57.080 sounds good it's just like you're going to a doctor go down Newport Beach like 48 00:04:57.080 --> 00:05:05.600 to have my eyes enlightened right what would you like my eyes enlightened can't 49 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:12.360 do it with a blade though there's no tucking tuck and roll for that one it's a 50 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:18.400 matter of the countenance of your soul to have your eyes enlightened is to 51 00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:24.160 realize hey wait a minute I belong to God this whole universe belongs to him I 52 00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:29.280 don't know what's happening I don't need to know I trust him see what kind of 53 00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:31.880 and people when you do that you're from your neighbors and friends will go what 54 00:05:31.880 --> 00:05:40.400 are you nuts what do you want me to I want you to be miserable like me I want you 55 00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:49.240 to get down and grovel in your terror I want you to be so no no you know what I 56 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:53.320 just read the Bible went to church today in the command of Lord is pure and 57 00:05:53.320 --> 00:06:03.280 enlightening the eyes wow God's amazing I'm gonna go with him first nice is the 58 00:06:03.280 --> 00:06:12.080 fear of the Lord is clean enduring forever I want to be on his side the judgements 59 00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:16.680 of the Lord are true and righteous there's one thing we know for sure nothing 60 00:06:16.760 --> 00:06:24.320 else is true and righteous but God number two as we come to this today heaven will 61 00:06:24.320 --> 00:06:29.960 you be going there the fact that there's in hell is the absence of heaven what 62 00:06:29.960 --> 00:06:35.880 makes hell hell a lot of things but one of them is the absence of heaven Jesus 63 00:06:35.880 --> 00:06:42.280 told us and spoke to us about heaven and hell in Matthew 25 verse 41 by the way 64 00:06:42.280 --> 00:06:46.520 Matthew 25 for you when you may find it interesting to know that Jesus spoke 65 00:06:46.520 --> 00:06:52.400 about hell more than any other person in the Bible and given what he did at the 66 00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:59.360 cross to keep people from going there makes sense to me he doesn't want you to go 67 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:05.920 there so don't go there he says then he will also say to those on his left hand 68 00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:13.600 this is the day of judgment depart from me you curse it into the everlasting fire 69 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:19.240 prepared for the devil and his angels did you know that that hell was made for 70 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:24.760 Satan and his minions not for humans this presupposes by the way that hell was 71 00:07:24.760 --> 00:07:29.920 created before Adam and Eve were created we don't know when it was created but 72 00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:34.920 we know it was after the fall of Lucifer but before the arrival of Adam and 73 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:42.000 Eve in the Garden of Eden God made hell for Satan and his fallen angels to be 74 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:48.680 confined there in eternity you see well then why would humans go there that's a 75 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:58.440 great question why why go there the Bible is very simple in this because quite 76 00:07:58.440 --> 00:08:05.120 frankly we are disciples of the flesh the world and the devil it says in 77 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.960 first John without Christ in our lives we will do what the world tells us to do 78 00:08:09.960 --> 00:08:19.800 we will do what we want to do we will do what we desire will follow people the 79 00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:25.020 enemy of our souls will influence us or will make our own decisions and in 80 00:08:25.020 --> 00:08:28.380 this Christ is involved in your life that's the path that you're on right 81 00:08:28.380 --> 00:08:30.780 now in the hearing of my voice that's the path that you're on you're you're 82 00:08:30.780 --> 00:08:34.300 waiting right now for church to be over so you can go out and do your that thing 83 00:08:34.300 --> 00:08:37.940 that God is maybe San Diego yeah I don't think you should do that you shouldn't 84 00:08:37.940 --> 00:08:42.940 be doing that you see man that's this so unloving oh my friend if you think 85 00:08:42.940 --> 00:08:48.540 that's unloving you don't even know what love is if you tell your kid don't play 86 00:08:48.540 --> 00:09:00.440 on the freeway you get hurt oh man don't don't don't fence me in really you 87 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:07.720 see those parents were the kids the kids about this big and the kid goes the 88 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:13.180 kid goes I want that and the parent goes no you can't have it okay okay you can 89 00:09:13.180 --> 00:09:18.940 have it you see that I've been man those kids have got those parents trained 90 00:09:18.940 --> 00:09:29.460 really well we do that in life I want this I want that 91 00:09:29.460 --> 00:09:37.340 listen unless Jesus rescues you from you you are going to pull yourself down 92 00:09:37.340 --> 00:09:45.820 into a pit that you ought not to have gone to so on you it's not on him hell is 93 00:09:45.820 --> 00:09:53.260 where there's no love we don't even we can't even feather that the ugliest 94 00:09:53.260 --> 00:10:00.740 meanest wickedest person in the world right now it's still benefiting from the 95 00:10:00.740 --> 00:10:09.500 love of God in this world think of it hell is where there's no love I'm talking 96 00:10:09.500 --> 00:10:18.980 real I'm talking God's love here no no love there's no light see wait a minute 97 00:10:18.980 --> 00:10:25.420 what no there's no light did you know that how are you at the dark I'm not talking 98 00:10:25.420 --> 00:10:31.380 about a dark room years ago maybe you've been you can go to the Oregon caves 99 00:10:31.380 --> 00:10:38.580 and Oregon you go in there and they take you deep inside the cave they take you 100 00:10:38.580 --> 00:10:43.260 into the the grand auditorium I think they call it's all natural and huge and then 101 00:10:43.260 --> 00:10:48.420 the national park ranger gets you all in there and then he turns off the lights and at first 102 00:10:48.420 --> 00:10:54.940 it everybody goes oh oh wow it's dark and then this this is what happens it's 103 00:10:54.940 --> 00:11:00.180 really dark that's dark and then you hear mommy hold my hand no really and then 104 00:11:00.180 --> 00:11:06.540 you hear honey hold my hand and the ranger's talking about light and particles 105 00:11:06.540 --> 00:11:13.580 and the longer you're in there the quieter it gets and he said you know when we 106 00:11:13.580 --> 00:11:20.380 discovered these caves we found corpses in this cave in this case because people from 107 00:11:20.380 --> 00:11:25.020 whatever time would run into the cave or seek shelter get lost they can never find their 108 00:11:25.020 --> 00:11:32.060 way out because it was too dark I know it's a darkness that can be felt the park ranger 109 00:11:32.060 --> 00:11:38.340 will tell you on that tour that if you are lost inside here you'll probably go insane 110 00:11:38.340 --> 00:11:46.500 within a matter of days did you know that heart a hyper heart be respiratory you begin 111 00:11:46.500 --> 00:11:50.700 to panic and hyperventilate and it's as though you're in this big spacious room and 112 00:11:50.700 --> 00:11:54.940 it's as though you're being suffocated because the darkness starts to crush you and it's 113 00:11:54.940 --> 00:12:04.060 on in your mind and the Bible says that hell is dark and no light there's no love there's 114 00:12:04.060 --> 00:12:10.580 no light there's no life I didn't say there weren't living people there I said there's 115 00:12:10.580 --> 00:12:19.460 no life the Bible is very clear that those who are in hell are very very much living but 116 00:12:19.460 --> 00:12:28.540 they have no life so I wanted to spell something that a lot of people think is true yeah man 117 00:12:28.540 --> 00:12:31.700 you know what I don't need Jesus I'm going to party with my friends we're being held 118 00:12:31.700 --> 00:12:37.900 and we'll read like magazines and we'll drink from time to time and tell dirty jokes that's 119 00:12:37.900 --> 00:12:43.620 what we'll do no you won't no you won't because the Bible says it's a place that you're fully 120 00:12:43.620 --> 00:12:53.340 absolutely alone none of your friends will be there well they may be there you'll have no 121 00:12:53.340 --> 00:13:03.060 knowledge of them being there the Bible says you are forever falling you know that feeling some 122 00:13:03.060 --> 00:13:11.380 people like it I don't think so when you add on the rest of the attributes of hell the Bible says 123 00:13:11.380 --> 00:13:18.140 you're on fire so wait a minute if you're on fire there's gonna be some light no there's no 124 00:13:18.140 --> 00:13:27.660 light but you're on fire you're burning the Bible says that you're also in the lake of fire yet no 125 00:13:27.660 --> 00:13:38.580 light but always on the brink of drowning the Bible says Jesus said it's where there's weeping and 126 00:13:38.580 --> 00:13:48.180 gnashing of teeth look I don't know about you but I think I'd listen you know to what Jesus says 127 00:13:48.180 --> 00:13:56.740 about it you know how stupid your opinion would be right now about what you think hell is like 128 00:13:56.740 --> 00:14:02.820 that God would come and die in the cross so you wouldn't have to go there Jesus says it's a 129 00:14:02.820 --> 00:14:06.100 place where there's weeping and gnashing of teeth you know gnashing of teeth means it means that 130 00:14:06.100 --> 00:14:10.340 you move your teeth back and forth until they break you know some people in our culture today 131 00:14:10.340 --> 00:14:15.380 there's you wear bite splints created by your dentist to keep you from breaking your teeth did 132 00:14:15.380 --> 00:14:22.180 you know that you've cracked your teeth from stress you're not gonna have a bite splint in hell 133 00:14:22.180 --> 00:14:33.220 Jesus said it's a place where the worms time out the worm of the grave constantly naws on you 134 00:14:33.220 --> 00:14:36.580 can you imagine just trying to get something away and you're falling and it's pitch black and 135 00:14:36.580 --> 00:14:42.660 you feel like you're burning and there's nobody there to come for you this is why Jesus came 136 00:14:43.940 --> 00:14:48.420 you're not gonna hear this listen this is not how you grow a church it gives you messages like this 137 00:14:49.300 --> 00:14:57.780 this is called negative church growth tactics um but he doesn't want you there he wants you 138 00:14:57.780 --> 00:15:03.300 with him in heaven and so I'm I'm gonna give you this and I'm not joking I don't 139 00:15:03.300 --> 00:15:10.420 know it sounds funny but I did this ending because it's you can relate to it's the entrance 140 00:15:10.420 --> 00:15:21.300 into heaven what about it very quickly uh there's limited seating available you said come on 141 00:15:21.300 --> 00:15:25.620 quick joking around some woman heard second service you call the church she's all been out of 142 00:15:25.620 --> 00:15:32.100 shape because she thought I said heaven is limited like well you put in your pocket you put it 143 00:15:32.100 --> 00:15:38.900 on the shelf that's heaven that's not what I said I said this there's limited seating available I 144 00:15:38.900 --> 00:15:44.660 didn't make it up Jesus said in Matthew chapter 7 verse 13 enter in by the narrow gate because 145 00:15:44.660 --> 00:15:49.700 why does the gate and broads the way that leads to destruction and there are many who go in by it 146 00:15:49.700 --> 00:15:55.540 because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life and there are few who 147 00:15:55.540 --> 00:16:02.740 find it this is the word these are words of Jesus Jesus is saying there's only one way to come 148 00:16:03.540 --> 00:16:07.860 by the way I am that way he said I am the way the truth in life nobody comes to the father but 149 00:16:07.860 --> 00:16:14.980 through me what about other religions you're lost what about other religious groups and gurus 150 00:16:15.460 --> 00:16:27.380 enlightened ones lost what about other religious books and holy books lies there's only one 151 00:16:28.420 --> 00:16:31.700 covering the story from the beginning to the end forever 152 00:16:36.660 --> 00:16:40.020 limited seating the Bible says many are called 153 00:16:40.660 --> 00:16:46.980 old few are chosen that means in God's in God's foreknowledge he knows those when the imitation 154 00:16:46.980 --> 00:16:52.100 goes out to accept he knows those who will accept and he knows those who will reject based on his 155 00:16:52.100 --> 00:16:58.980 foreknowledge he knows by predestination that when the opportunity goes to you and you say I 156 00:16:58.980 --> 00:17:02.820 can't accept Jesus I'm really I'm dating this hot guy right now I mean he might dump me 157 00:17:03.220 --> 00:17:13.860 what's his name bill

create a riot I'm going to just be just to tell you it is 164 00:17:55.780 --> 00:17:58.900 many of you have come from a church background 165 00:18:00.580 --> 00:18:03.620 where you haven't listened to a word I've said today because you don't have to 166 00:18:03.700 --> 00:18:11.220 do because you get to play and do whatever you want to do and then run back quickly and get 167 00:18:11.220 --> 00:18:16.900 confession and if that doesn't work in time if you get killed on your way to confession a priest 168 00:18:16.900 --> 00:18:20.900 can run over there and give you a last right and if that doesn't work and you wind up in 169 00:18:20.900 --> 00:18:28.900 purgatory don't worry about you can get out you know who invented that stuff man that's not in 170 00:18:28.900 --> 00:18:35.220 the Bible anywhere is it in the Bible here's the deal the Bible says it's appointed into every 171 00:18:35.220 --> 00:18:40.580 human every human being wants to die and then comes their judgment there's no second chance after 172 00:18:40.580 --> 00:18:44.340 that she would have passed you kid me I thought I could sleep with bubbles and go out and do this 173 00:18:44.340 --> 00:18:48.500 with Rocky and then wind up going to heaven eventually I mean I've waited out at the price I'm 174 00:18:48.500 --> 00:18:56.100 going to do it you better watch it there's no second chance after you're dead 175 00:18:58.340 --> 00:19:02.980 you go as straight into eternity one way or the other up or down smoking or non-smoking 176 00:19:06.500 --> 00:19:09.940 but you have to have a reservation is your name written in the lambs book of life 177 00:19:10.820 --> 00:19:19.060 and then finally we end right here you need to act now I supply less this sounds like a commercial 178 00:19:20.900 --> 00:19:28.420
