While walking down a memory lane Of pasts so long ago Oh, Satan came right by my side, making me feel low. He brought up thoughts of hurt and pain when I had gone astray. He wanted to discourage me as I walked along my way. He said, you're undeserving cause I know where you've been. I have a record of your life when you were bound by sin. I know your darkest secrets. that you would never tell. What makes you think you don't deserve a place with me in hell? As I heard the old accuser, well this was my reply.

Good white God, who has not Think of His love I don't deserve it There's no way I could earn it Eternity is not long enough He's answered prayers I've prayed for years, never once has He left me.

Thank you for reaching in and picking up a sinner like me. I was useless and worthless. Let me sit right back there yeah And I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart. That day I was walking through them woods up there, and he was speaking to me. And then when he placed me under a whole ton of conviction, it changed my life. It took the hardness and coldness out of my heart. There is no way I could ever repay him for what he did, for what he's done for me these last three years. to have him on my side and in my heart. I'm telling you, that is the best thing that ever could happen to me. And I tell you, I just want to thank him for the bottom line. He's been here with us this week. Give his little arms, one arm stretched out around this little church this whole week. And I just want to thank him. Thank God. Thank God. Hallelujah. Amen. God already made three years. I sat back on that pew one Sunday. Sunday's a good morning. Y'all people, I'm quiet. The Spirit of the Lord was just calm and easy. But Chris said, I don't know what to do, but God knows what He's doing for me. All I remember is getting up. They said I was on the piano, but I was doing business with God. I'm glad He saved me. I'm not going to hell. I want to thank God for saving me on April 14, 2000, when I was a 15-year-old boy at Providence Pro Baptist Church in the Fellowship Hall on Providence Mill Road on the left side of the building, right side of the altar. And I'm just so thankful that that night, I was talking with Jackson last night. He said, Daddy, I'm scared. I said, son, it's a good thing. God's scary. Thinking about eternal judgment. He'll strike fear in your heart. And it did for me that night to the point where I couldn't take it anymore. All I knew is I wanted Jesus. He was the one that could fix my problem. And I put my faith and my trust in him that night. And 15 years old, I'm almost 40 in January. Hadn't been the same since. I remember it like it was yesterday. I'm almost scared to tell my testimony sometimes because I was under so much conviction. I feel like there's a lot of people that just... They haven't been there. And it's like, your experience might not be exactly like my experience, but I'm gonna tell you, he hung me out over heaven. I thought any moment, if I didn't do business with God, right then and right there, I would have dropped off right there on the spot. I was visibly under conviction. And I thank God that he had to do that to shake me from that religion I had, shake me from that profession I had that didn't ever do anything for me. It took that kind of conviction. I wasn't interested in drugs, I wasn't into dope, I wasn't into alcohol, I wasn't into all sorts of things, but I was religious and I enjoyed it. I was sincere about it. I was very sincere. But it took the Holy Ghost of God to open my blinded eyes. I mean, just as much conviction as it would have drunk on I mean, but what he did for me on the inside, gave me a new heart. He'll do that for anybody. I told Jackson last night, I said, God loves you, he wants to save you. Why wouldn't he? And it just got me tore up thinking about it, how much God wanted to save me. And what a precious Savior we serve to meet us right where we were at. I read a statistic the other day that said out of that over a trillion chance that you would even be born into this world. Trillionth of a chance. Now to be born, but what about be born in the home he was born in? What about being under the preacher that was preaching? The conviction you got under, and then statistically, what is the odds you would say yes? It's just mind-blowing, astronomically mind-blowing. It is a God thing. And I am so grateful that he had mercy upon me. Amen. Thank God. Amen. That's right. I wanna thank the Lord for saving me. November 12th was a year. And he took things from my life that I couldn't change myself. There was times where I thought maybe I would try to quit things. Maybe a month or two months, you know, it never lasts. I was like the dog that returned back to his own body. And it took the Lord coming into my life and changing me. And I just love him so much. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. says I don't deserve it, but I want to thank him. He's just so worthy tonight, and I've been thinking, we just got back from Greece, and we did the, it was called a tour called In the Footsteps of Paul, and while we were over there, you just got to see how religious that place was, and I've been thinking today, and we didn't really stay in the Book of Acts, and you know, Paul was a religious man. And God had to take a religious man to go to a bunch of religious people. That's why we looked there on Mars Hill. I looked up there and saw all those temples that are still standing there today. And I looked around at those people still there in Athens, Greece today that are religious. And then you look around still in Kannapolis and still in America that a bunch of religious people that still go and still do things and base their salvation on works. And you have never worked your way to heaven. It took somebody like Paul. Because I think about people all the time saying, that person's testimony saying that they tried to get the basic on what things they did. It's not based on what we do. It's based on what Jesus has done. And I want to thank him for that day. On February 19, 1984, on a Sunday morning, for the first time in my life, I saw myself the way God saw me. And I was like, wow, I'm lost. I don't even know why I even thought of saying it. God said, you're lost. And I want to thank God for giving me the strength to believe Him and trust Him as my personal Savior. I want to thank Him. I want to praise Him. And I was sitting there and hearing what they call Philippi. We were sitting there and walking. They said, this is where Paul walked. And they showed us where they thought he was held in the jail. And we're sitting there and I said, thank you God for saving Paul because Paul was faithful to go preach. Then somebody else got called. Somebody else got called. Somebody else got called. Somebody else got saved. Years down later, guess what? Somebody preached that morning and I got saved. That's right. And she mentioned about being religious, and my family's full of religion, Catholic, Pentecostal, you name it, they have it. But not once did they ever mention about being saved. I didn't know the first thing about being saved when I came here several years ago. And I only lived five minutes away, and God knew that I needed to come here to get saved. And I want to thank Him that on June 27th of 2021, right outside in that little hallway, the pew's not there anymore, but my place is still there in the Lord. And I want to thank Him for changing my life. This evening in Austin, I passed by a little shopping center and there was an ABC store. People were just going in and out. And I told Austin, I said, I'm so thankful that the Lord gave us something worth living for. We don't need drugs. We don't need drugs. We don't need drugs. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen Thank you for everything you've brought me through, everything you've taken out of my life. I didn't do it. I couldn't have done it. I couldn't have saved myself. Just looking at my family members, I know I'm no better than them. I'm still a law center, but to just see the change that the Lord's giving me, I just want to thank you for that. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. He's answered prayers I've prayed for years, never once has He left me. He's made a way when all I saw was impossibilities. My heart bows in worship, my lips sing His praise. I don't deserve it. There's no way I deserve it. eternity is not long enough to thank God for all He has done. I say amen. And I know that I hear it, I'm cheering on the team. Justified in the blood of Christ Live and sing, live and know that I am. Live and sing, live and know that I am. Live and sing, live and know that I am. I'm still alive and I know that I am. I'm still alive and I know that I am. I'm staying here for another night. I'm staying here for another night. I'm so glad I came, and I know that I am. I'm so glad I came, and I know that I am. I'm so glad I know that I am. Leave it to you, and I know that I am. Leave it to you, and I know that I am. Leave it to you, and I know that I am. I'm so glad I know that I am. Satisfied, satisfied, and I know that I am. And I know that I am satisfied And I know that I am I'm so glad I know that I am I'm saved And I know that I am I'm saved And I know that I am I'm saved And I know that I am I'm so glad I know that I am I was raised in a drunkard's home. Done what I wanted to do, when I wanted to do it, and how I wanted to do it. Didn't care too much about what nobody thought about me. But one day, my first wife died, and I'm telling you, It shot me into a spiral. I got so wicked and undone and lost that I was going to commit suicide. I was going to get my car up to 100 miles an hour and go into a good solid tree. And Satan was 100% with me. But I'm telling you something, I know my job worked. And the sweet Holy Spirit of God spoke to me so loudly, I thought it was a coworker. I turned around to look to see who was talking to me. Everybody there, everybody at work? I turned back to go back to work, and hey, Holy Spirit of God said, son, what you got in your heart to do, if you do it, you're going to hell. For the first time in my life, I had a fear of going to hell. I had made good through professions, but I didn't profess that. Just because you made a profession don't mean that. You better know that the Holy Spirit got to dealing with you and bringing you to the place. I read my Bible enough to know God said I know everything. From the beginning to the beginning. Well, why should I go out there and stumble around in the darkness trying to find my way when the Holy Spirit of God knows That's right. That's right. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Jesus. Amen. Yes. Amen. I don't think there's any chance of me changing. I think I'm too close home now. I don't think if I change my mind and decide to go back out in the world, I don't believe God will see the sun rise in the morning. I believe God will kill me. He went to the outermost to save me. He is all I need. I brought everything I needed. Matter of fact, I brought everything I needed with me. Yeah. That's right. Amen, I'm glad tonight. Sorry, you testify. I'm glad tonight the Bible said in Psalm 32, blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. In Luke 19, the Bible said the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost. I'm glad on July 29, 2008, as a 15-year-old boy, a lot on the Mount Youth Camp, on a Tuesday night, Jesus came after me. He changed my life, he made all the difference, amen. I think about the two men that went up to pray, one went down, justified, the other didn't. I'm glad that I come down that mountain different than I went up. Amen. Jesus, we was talking at lunch today, only Jesus can change me like, amen. Only Jesus can produce the change in me. Amen, every man that met Jesus and let him have his way never stayed the same. Every blind man never saw the same. Every deaf man never heard the same. Every dumb man never talked the same. Every lame man never walked the same. Every leper never looked the same. Every dead man never lived the same. Thank God every blind man never saw the same. And I'm so glad John 5, 24 said, barely, barely, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life. I'm glad of Romans 8.1, there is therefore now no condemnation to the immature in Christ Jesus, amen. Not after the flesh, but after the spirit. I'm glad 1 John 3.1 said, behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called, that I should be called, the sons of God. Amen. Therefore the world knoweth us not because it knew him not. And I'm not waiting to be saved. Beloved, now are we the sons of God. I'm saved tonight. I'm as saved tonight as I'll ever be. Amen. A thousand, million, trillion years from now, I won't be a bit more saved than I am right now. I'm glad notwithstanding in this, rejoice not that the spirits are subject unto you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven. There over yonder there's a pool, and my name is there tonight. Amen. Chris Winburn is there because of God's sake. Amen. And to God be all the glory. He did everything. Amen. Psalm 103 said, He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. Amen. as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. I'm glad, Lord, that Revelation 1.5 said unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood. And I am saved, Ephesians 1.7, amen, in whom we have redemption, through His blood. Amen. The forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace. Amen. We're glad that God was rich in mercy. Amen. For His great love was with us. He loved us even when we were dead in sins. I've been made alive together with Christ. By grace you're saved. I'm in Him and He's in me. And thank God there's only two kinds of people in Noah's day. You were either in the ark or you weren't. And I'm glad I'm in Jesus. Amen. I'm glad they pitched that ark with pitch. Amen. And thank God it was atoned. Amen. And not one drop of the wrath of God was going to get in that ark. Amen. I'm glad I'm in Jesus. Not one drop of God's wrath is going to touch my life. Go all the way to the furthest point, go to the fence of being saved. I'm on the other side of it. Praise God, Jesus did it all. Salvation is of the Lord. If you had any part in it, you ain't got it. I'm glad he did it all for me. He drew me, he convicted me, he saved me, thank God he birthed me, he regenerated me, he redeemed me, he washed me. He sealed me. Thank God he did it all. One day he's going to glorify me. Hallelujah. That's all for now. You. you. so so Amen. All right. Thank God for the good singing tonight. Appreciate the good spirit of worship this evening. It's good to be saved. So thank you for being here in the service tonight and all the visitors. We appreciate you being here this evening as well.

And then the revelation of your will, God, as a child of God. What a blessing to know the good except from the will of God. Lord, we're thankful for this crowd of believers here tonight. God, it might be somebody in this building not truly born of God. unless you open their eyes. You said we got into this world blind in the minds of them who believe not. Thank God the light of the glorious gospel can shine and they can see the light. Lord, I pray God that'll happen to somebody here tonight if they're not truly born again. They don't even know what they're missing. The devil's got them blind. They think this world is what it's all about. God, I pray God you'd change that tonight. And I pray God you'd help this church.

When I first met Jesus, I was thirsty and dry. And nothing in this world could fill that longing inside. Oh, just a small drink of water is all I would ask. But he gave me something that he knew would last. Then up from my soul sprang a river that will never run dry. And this story of mercy is mine now to tell. I asked him for water, but he gave me the well. It's hard to believe I'm a part of his bride. For you see, no one was as worthless as I. years I had searched for that life-changing source, but I never found it till I met the Lord. Then up from my soul sprang a It was a spring of salvation that will never run dry. And this story of mercy is mine now to tell. I asked Him for water, but He gave me the well. Then up from my soul's breath. It was a spring of salvation that will never run dry. And this story of mercy is mine now to tell. I asked him for water, but he gave me Thank you, children. Praise God. I had panted for a drink of some cool spring I had hoped would quench the burning Of the thirst I felt within Poor I was and sought for riches Something that would satisfy But the dust I gathered round me only mocked my soul's sad cry. the husk around me till my strength was almost gone. Longed my soul for something better, only still to hunger on. I have found Him whom my soul so long has craved. Jesus satisfies my longing through His blood. AM SAVED! It's ever springing. Bread of love so rich and free. Untold wealth that never faileth, my Redeemer is to me. ♪ Yet I have found Him ♪ Who my soul so long has craved ♪ Jesus satisfies my longing ♪ Through His blood I now am saved I have found Him, whom my soul so long has craved.

Well, by and large, that will be redeemed if the Lord says so. If the Lord says so, amen. Amen. Amen. Praise the Lord. That's right. Amen. Well, it's a world of searching for peace and satisfaction. And I preached it for almost 40 years now. You can go from one end of the earth to the other side of the world, and you'll never find what you need because it's in Christ. It's in Jesus. Till you get saved, till you get saved and born again, all that other stuff, it won't work. but Jesus satisfies our souls. Amen. That's right. So I'm glad I'm satisfied. Well, I was trying to raise $1,000 for the print ministry, and I'm told that we got exactly $1,000. So praise the Lord. Isn't that great? So I praise the Lord for that and thank you for those that give to it, amen. And you'll have a little bit of a reward. Somebody wave on the other side of the world, get a track and get saved. Because you gave a little money, God might say, well, look what you have to do, amen. That's right. All right, we're going to let Brother Frazier come and preach to us tonight, amen. It's Friday night. I ain't in no hurry, amen. It's just 8 o'clock. I mean, it ain't but 4 o'clock in California. Amen, preacher, amen. All right, let's get our Bibles out. Going to be looking over in the book of Hebrews, Hebrews, chapter number 9 in your Bible, Hebrews. And the ladies ought to love this book here because that tells you that he's supposed to make the coffee in the morning. Amen, Hebrews, Hebrews, amen, Hebrews. In chapter number 9, Hebrews, amen. Amen. I can show you some scripture where he's supposed to do the dishes too. It says, where a man wiping the dishes, turning it upside down. Well, some of you men looking rough at me, but it's too late. You done gave an offering, praise God. Amen. So you ain't get it back. Amen. Amen. Hebrews chapter number nine. I shouldn't have told that part about the dishes, should I? Well, I ain't going to tell you about the ironing. Amen. Hebrews chapter number 9 in your Bible, and I'm going to start reading verse number 23. Chapter number 9 and verse number 23. Amen. The Bible says, it was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us. nor yet that he should offer himself often as the high priest entered into the holy place every year with blood of others, for then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world. But now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many, and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. I want to back up to verse number 27. And my burden for tonight deals in this verse. And it says, as it is appointed unto men once to die, and this includes women as well, amen, it is appointed to everybody once to die. You have an appointment. The only one that can break that appointment is God. Amen. Will He break that appointment? Amen. Well, He's going to come and rapture a bunch of us away. Amen. And we're not going to go by the way of death. Amen. We're going to go by the way of changing. We call it the rapture or the catching away, the Bible term. Amen. But if He doesn't come, Soon, especially for someone like Brother Al. Brother Al will probably live to be 125, 30. Amen. But, amen, if he don't come back in the next 35, 40 years, amen, Brother Al will probably be checking out. Amen. Brother Melton, amen, he's just 35, so I can't really use him in the illustration. Amen. But, amen, according to this verse, We have an appointment, as it is pointed unto men, once to die, but after this, the judgment. Now, I'm concerned about the death part, but I'm also concerned about the judgment part. Amen. We must all, amen, we must all, amen, appear before the judgment seat. Amen. We've got to give an account, and I want to preach for just a little while. Amen. I can find in my Bible, at least seven different judgments. And, of course, I can find, amen, where God judged throughout the Old Testament, and He does in the New Testament as well. But there are seven judgments. I'm going to be a blessing to you tonight. I'm just going to preach on three of them. Amen. So I'm going to preach tonight. Here's the title of the message, Three Judgments. three judgments. Amen. Let's pray, and you can be seated. Father, we love you. Thank you for loving us, letting us come to church again tonight. Lord, what a blessing it has been to be here all this week. Lord, the singing has been wonderful. The fellowship has been tremendous. All the food and the wonderful place to stay. God, you've been so good to us. We thank you, dear God, for the dear friendships that we have in this building. And Lord, we're praying God tonight, realizing and knowing, Lord, there's somebody you want to save. God, I still feel the same way that I felt last night. God, I believe that you want to save somebody. And so, Lord, use me, God, tonight. Let me be your servant. Help me, Lord, to be a vessel of honor. I pray, God, that you'd clean me out and fill me up. And God, you'd use me for your glory tonight to say everything you would say if you were here. or Peter, amen. God, we pray. And Lord, we'll thank you for it, give you all the glory for it. In Jesus' name we pray, amen and amen. You can be seated. Now I want to deal with, I want to mention these seven judgments, amen. And again, you can think of court judgments. You can also think, amen, of judgment being done. I can easily find seven judgments in our Bible. In Matthew 25, verse 32, I can find a judgment of nations. I'll say this about America. We're fixing to leave out soon. We're going to be gone for seven years. We're going to come back after that seven years. That's called the tribulation period. 42 months, divided there, seven years, so the first half, 42 months, is called the Tribulation. The second part of that, seven years, the other 42 months, is called the Great Tribulation. And sure enough, in our Bible, it divides that, shows us it will happen. when the abomination of desolation takes place. We've got a picture, a type of it in our Old Testament, amen, but there'll be a complete fulfillment of that. How the Lord is going to, amen, pour out His wrath on this earth, and we are going to come back after that. And we're going to be with the Lord, and we're going to be on white horses, amen. So if you don't like horses, amen, that's tough luck, amen. If you're going to be saved, you're going to come back on white horses, amen. I'm scared of horses. I was standing by one a while back, and the man said, you don't have to worry about this horse. It's the nicest horse I've ever had. It ain't never bucked nobody off, ain't never done anything. It's a good horse. Me and my wife was standing here, and a preacher and his wife was standing here, and that horse turned around and bit her in the shoulder blade, caught her right under the shoulder blade and picked her up and jerked her around. So that's what I think about horses. But praise God. Amen, this horse, amen, that I'll be riding back on, amen, not only will it be a special horse, but I'll have a glorified body, amen. One preacher used to say, I can ride between its ears if I want to, amen, and say, giddy up, giddy up, amen. But there's a judgment of nations. When we come back, amen, somebody asked me, said, Brother Fraser, how come we don't see a lot of scripture, a lot of prophecy about America, and there's gonna be judgment of nations? judgment of nations. This world hates America. Amen. This world hates America. You think that everybody loves America, but this world hates America. And there's going to be some judgment for America. Amen. One preacher said it like this, if God doesn't judge America, then he's going to have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah. But now God don't have to apologize to nobody. and for nothing. Amen. But I understand what point he was making. Amen. Our just and fair and righteous and holy God, amen, is going to judge America for what it has done and is doing. So there's a judgment of nations. Ezekiel 20, verse 37 tells us he's going to judge the nation of Israel. They've been a part of some judgment of God for many years, and then there's going to be some judgments more to come. Jude 6 talks about angels being judged, a judgment against angels that have sinned. You can read more about it in 2 Peter 2 and verse 4. And then there's a judgment of sin in John 12 and verse 31. We can see the Bible, I'm going to read that to you. In John 12 and verse 31. Jesus, in verse number 30, answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. Now is the judgment of this world. Now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." Amen. There's a judgment of sin. Amen. And the Lord took our place, amen, to pay that sin, amen, debt for us. Amen. He was lifted up, amen, from the earth on the cross and shed his blood and died and was buried, amen, three days later to rise again, amen, to live forevermore. Amen, so we see there's a judgment of nations, a judgment of the nation of Israel, a judgment of angels that sinned, amen, a judgment of sin itself. And then there are three other judgments that I want to deal with tonight. Amen, I want to start off, amen, with a judgment you'll find in 2 Corinthians chapter number five. And so if you'll turn there with me, 2 Corinthians is right after 1 Corinthians. Amen. 2 Corinthians chapter number 5 in your Bible in verse number 10. Amen. Now this is important that you listen up. You've got to go to court. Amen. There's to be a judge on the throne. I'm not going to ask for a raising of hands. How many of you had to go to court? That could be embarrassing for some of you. Amen. You'd be surprised maybe how many has been in jail in this building. Amen. Amen. If I said it at our church, half the church would have to stand up. Amen. 2 Corinthians chapter number 5, amen, and verse number 10, for he's speaking here to save people, and he says, for we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that everyone may receive the things done in his body according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Amen. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men. Amen. So God tells us here that to save people, of course, he's speaking to save people. Amen. He's addressing us, brethren. Amen. And he goes on down and tells us that we must all appear. Now, that means if you're saved, you're going to appear at the judgment seat of Christ. Amen. You're going to stand before God and you're going to give an account for the things that you've done. not whether you're saved or not, because God saves you when you call on Him and receive Him as your Savior. But He's going to catch us away. He's going to bring those that have died before us. He's going to bring their spirits with Him. He's going to bring up their bodies out of the graves and out of the sea. He's going to put them back into their bodies, changed into glorified bodies, and He's going to change our bodies into glorified bodies. And the twinking of an eye, amen, we're going to be changed and we're going to be caught up to meet the Lord in the air, amen. He's going to take us away for seven years. If you can't get excited about that, then your excitator is broken. If you can get more excited about a ride at Disney World or Dollywood, amen, than you can about going through the sky without a roller coaster or an airplane, amen, and going through a door and being on the other side, amen, it's going to be wonderful now. But when we get there, Brother Stenick Blue used to say, I'm excited about the judgment seat of Christ. There are some things I'm not going to be happy about. And there's going to be some things I'm going to be embarrassed and sad about." He said, but I want to see what God did with all the monies that I gave to missions. Amen. Sure enough, we're going to stand before God. Those that are saved, they're going to stand before God. Amen. We're going to receive crowns according to the Bible. Amen. We're going to receive rewards according to the Bible. Amen. For the things that we've done. Now, for us to suffer loss, it may picture, I'll give you an example, a picture, a word picture, if you could get there and see that God had all these things that he wanted to give you, all these crowns and all these jewels, amen, all these rewards that God wanted to give you, amen, but he's gonna burn your works and see what they were made of, amen, all of the wood, hay, and stubble's gonna go away. What does that represent? It represents what you did for self. And then the only thing that's going to be left, amen, is going to be what you did for God. And God's going to reward you for it, and you're also going to suffer loss. At that time, God told you to hand that tract to that person, but you didn't do it. Amen. It'll be brought back up more likely. Amen. God's going to show that you didn't obey Him. Amen. And He had this reward for you, but you didn't do it, so therefore, you don't get the reward, and that's the loss you're going to suffer. Amen. Saved, yes. Amen. But given account, amen, for the things that you've done in your body, whether they were good or bad, amen, and you can suffer loss, amen, if you didn't do good. That's why it's important, if you say, to live for God, and to witness, and to talk, and to tell, amen, and be faithful. Well done, thou good and faithful servant. You know what? Our God is not gonna say you were faithful if you wasn't faithful. And he's not going to say, well done thou good, if you wasn't good. So let me give you a few things here as a way of outline. Hey man, we're going to stand before God at what's called the BEMA. And the BEMA, the picture for that is, hey man, like we would think of our Olympics, our races, and then they would come after the race. The winner would come before the beamer, amen, the judgment. And the judges, amen, would reward them with a crown. And they would trot down the field while the crowd all heard and saw what they had done. It was the reward, amen. Someday you're going to stand before God. If you're saved, you're going to stand at the judgment seat, and God is going to reward you. Amen. There'll be jewels in the crown. Amen. There'll be rewards that God will give you if you served Him and suffered and labored for God. Now, if you don't do nothing for God, don't expect anything. I'm not being, that's not being mean, I'm just telling you, I'm warning you up front, amen, I thank God for a doctor that'll tell me the truth, thank God for a policeman that'll warn me and tell me, amen, here's a preacher, he's gonna tell you in advance, if you don't do nothing for God, then you're gonna stand before God and you're not gonna have a reward. Salvation is free, say amen. Rewards or not. Salvation is eternal. Can you lose rewards? Yes. Amen. You can lose rewards. You can do something for God and then turn away from God and lose those rewards. Amen. The Apostle Paul in all of his labor, he was concerned. He did not want to fall and fail. Amen, and lose reward. He didn't want to. He wanted to be able to stand before God and give God the glory. My brother told me one time, I was witnessing to my brother, and my brother said, oh, I'm not interested in them crowns or anything. He said, I just want to make it through the gate. I said, well, Bill, you just don't understand. I said, because, amen, when you get there, you're going to want those rewards, because according to our Bible, amen, there's going to be a worship celebration like we have never known. It'll be the greatest worship service this world and mankind has ever had, amen, and according to that, you're going to be able to take off what you've done for God, amen, and cast it back at His feet and give Him glory. Not only that He saved you, but that He let you serve Him. And then for that 1,000 years, called the millennial reign, amen, those that have suffered with him shall also reign with him. And so you'll come, amen, for 1,000 years, not 70 years, 1,000 years, amen, you'll rule and reign with God, amen, and the Lord, amen, will be the King of kings and Lord of lords, amen, it may be King Terry or Lord Chris. Amen, that's right. Or Lord Dustin, unless you don't do anything. If you don't do anything, then don't expect anything. Now here's a few things about our judge. Hey man, we first look at the person on the throne, which is the Lord Jesus. Hey man, the perfection in this judgment will be that he will make no mistakes. The eyes of the Lord are in every place beholding the evil and the good. The good. So he's watching you. He's watching things that you're doing that are good. He's watching things that you don't do good. Amen. He's got a perfect record. Amen. You're talking about proves or someone saying, well, we've got all of this evidence. Amen. God. Amen. We'll make no mistakes. Amen, nowadays, amen, they can bribe a judge. We've seen a lot of that. Amen, going on. Amen, you can threaten a judge. Amen, probably some of that going on. They probably said you either do it this way or we'll kill you. Amen, and sure enough, judges can be crooked and corrupt. Say amen, you know that's right. Amen, for the money or for their very lives. Amen, but amen, what are you gonna bribe God with? What are you gonna give Jesus? But Paul, you can't give him, you can't bribe him, he owns it all. Hey man, you gonna act like you're gonna give him something? Hey man, you can't give him, he's God. So therefore you can't bribe this judge, amen, so this judgment will be perfect. He will not, he will not, amen, forget about something that you done, amen, he will not give you more than what you done. So the judgment will be perfect. It will be personal. Amen. For we must all appear. Amen. That means Jeremiah has to stand before God and give an account. Your mom and your daddy loves you. How about you're going to give an account for yourself. Amen. You're not going to have. Amen. Caleb can't come over and say but Lord. Amen. Chris can't sell. Yeah but that was partly my fault. Hey man, no, no, no, you're gonna give an account for the things that you've done. Hey man, before God, he's gonna look right at you, you're gonna look right back at him. Hey man, and you're gonna give an account for the things that you've done in your body, whether they were good or bad. So it's going to be personal. Amen. It will have some pastoral part to it. According to our Bible in Hebrews chapter number 13. I need you to turn there. Hebrews chapter number 13 in your Bible. Amen. I'm going to read a scripture to you. It's a very serious scripture. Amen. The Bible says in verse number 17, it says obey them that have the rule over you. Chapter 13 verse 17, submit yourselves for they watch for your soul as they that must give account. That they do it with joy and not with grief, for that is unprofitable for you. Did y'all hear that verse? So Craig, that means that you're gonna stand before God and you're gonna give an account. And then God will bring up your pastor and he will give an account. You say, no, no, Brother Frazier, you missed that because, see, I'm gonna give an account for myself. Yeah, but according to this verse, amen, they're gonna give an account for what it was like to pastor you. You say, I didn't know that. Well, you know it now. Amen. If you're a member of this church, amen. When you stand at the judgment seat of Christ, you're going to give an account for what you did. Amen. And then God, amen, will summons, amen, up to give witness. Terry Deeds. What was it like to Pastor Mason? What is Tucker? What about that? Man, how do I remember that? Amen. So God is going to have Terry Dietz come up and he's going to give an account, amen, for what it was like to Pastor Mason. Amen. It says here it can be profitable. Amen. He can do it with joy. Or he can do it with grief. He can say, oh, God, it was horrible. Mason was always, he just wouldn't be faithful. I couldn't get him to ever do anything. Every time I asked him or every time I tried to tell him to do something, he'd just argue and fuss and make everything horrible. God, it was just a nightmare to pastor him. Or, hey, man, he can do it with joy and say, oh, God, you know, Lord, it was wonderful to pastor Mason. I wish that I had a thousand Masons in here. Hey, man, we're not talking about the organization. Some of y'all didn't smile, you must be amazed. Let me see your hand, see your belt buckle, see your boot. Hey man, watch your car out yonder, it's got one of them little badges on the back of it. Amen. Amen. So you can make it hard on your pastor. And it can be unprofitable for you. Amen. Amen. I put down here because it starts with P and I'm doing an outline. Amen. I see the person. I see the perfection. Amen. I see the personal. Amen. I see the pastoral. I see the profit or the loss. I remember, amen, when I used to work, I used to work for a man that owned a bunch of restaurants, and I was supervising 22 restaurants. I had some in Tennessee, I had some in Kentucky, I had some in Missouri, I had some in Arkansas, and I had one in Illinois, I had one in Metropolis, Illinois. When you went in, there was a statue there of Superman. Metropolis. And sure enough, you went in, and there was a Superman with his arm up like this. And then you went on in a little bit, and they had a big dispute, a big fuss about it, because you turn the corner, and there was a grocery store there called Big John's. Hey, man, and the statue there, he had two bags of groceries, and Big John was bigger than Superman. They was all tore up about it. Hey, man, they made him take that Big John down, hey, man, and get a smaller statue. I'll tell you what, though, every month, every month, I had to go all the way to Dyersburg, Tennessee, which is up above Memphis, up at the top of the state, and I had to go there every month, and I had to give an account. I had to give an account of being the supervisor for the restaurants. We went over every restaurant, 22 what was called pea and ales, profit and loss statements. And we sat down and we would go line by line. We'd start off with the gross, the sales at the top. And some of them were gross. Amen? And then we would go down and we would talk about food costs and labor costs. And we'd go down with the electric bill and break it down to how much was water and how much was electricity and how much was sewer. And just all the way down the line, how much did we spend on maintenance? Did we have any repairs? And we went all the way down. Then we got down to the very bottom. And at the bottom there was a place called Net Profit, amen, and so we went over what was called a profit or loss, a P and L, profit and loss statements for all of those restaurants. And sure enough, now listen, I had to give an account. I had to tell them what all of those managers had done, amen, for the month. If one stole a deposit, amen, we had one steal a deposit, amen, and so I have to go to the boss that owned it all. And I'd have to tell him we lost $2,700 here, and it was because this manager stole the deposit. Then I'd go over to the next one, and this happened. Somebody pulled in and run through the sign, and we had to buy a new sign. And it costed so many thousands of dollars, and that come off of it. And then I'd go over to one, and everything went good. And I'd say, we had a good month there. And boy, we made so many thousands of dollars. And he'd say, woo, that's good there. Amen. And then I'd go over here and tell him, amen, that something else bad happened. And it was just a profit loss, up and down. Do you know what? Your pastor, amen, has been placed in a position of management, amen, for God. Amen, someday you'll stand before God, amen. God will call him up. He'll give an account for what it was like to pastor you. You say, I ain't never heard such, that's why God sent me here tonight to tell you. Amen. If I'd known that, I'd have treated him better. You know it now. God's not gonna let him lie, amen. It ain't like God don't know, amen. But listen, amen, that there's gonna be some accounting that takes place, amen. According to this verse, those that have the rule over you, amen. Those that are watching for your soul, those that preach the word of God unto you, amen. Remember them which have rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God, whose faith follow considering the end of their conversation. What is the end of their conversation? They're going to stand at the judgment seat of Christ. Amen. They're going to give an account of what it was like to Pastor Chris Winburn. And he's either going to say, Lord, it was wonderful, and God's going to know it. Amen. God's not going to let Brother Terry lie. Brother Terry's not going to get up there and make up something. Amen. Well, I love you, Chris, so just don't say nothing. And I'll tell him that it was wonderful. No, no, no, no, no. No, he's gonna tell the truth. Amen, you're gonna tell the truth. Amen, God, amen, is going to have some judgment for Terry Deets, but also for Pastor Terry Deets. We got great accountability. We got a lot to give an account for. Somebody said, Brother Frazier, don't you wish y'all was running 1,000? That means I'd have 1,000 to give an account for. That's a lot. You say, how many y'all run over? We run about 1,000. We ain't caught but about 150 of them, but we're running 1,000, at least 1,000. We might be running 2,000. You ought to see them run when I come walking down to Wal-Mart. Hey! Strong! How about bee-bee zip-tang? Go out in the park, hey! I'm telling you, it's amazing. But hey man, you're gonna stand before God at the judgment seat. Give an account, things you've done. Hey man, it'll be perfect, it'll be personal, it'll be pastoral, it'll be either profit or it'll be loss. And it's all about your performance. You say, Brother Frazier, the Bible says, not by works of righteousness which we've done, but according to his mercy. And it says over here, for by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, the gift of God, not of works, not of works, brother Frazier, not of works, lest any man should boast. Yeah, and it also says over in James, he said if you ain't got no works to go with it, amen, then it's dead, being alone. So what is God saying? God's saying salvation is a gift of God. But then He requires and wants you to work. He wants you to be a servant. Amen. How many times does He tell us and give us examples of servants laboring for Him and working. Will you go and work in my vineyard today? Amen. Why stand you here idle all the day long? And over and over and over, if you'll work, if you'll labor, if you'll do something, if you'll win souls, I will reward you for it. There's another judgment. Judgment number two in this message appears over in the book of Revelation. I want you to turn over there with me. Revelation chapter number 20 in your Bible. Revelation chapter number 20, amen. We'll start, amen, in verse number 10. I just like reading about the devil, having to be thrown in there, amen. Ain't got nothing to do with this message, but praise God, I like reading about it. It's one of my favorite verses in the Bible. Amen. Chapter 20, verse number 10, the devil that deceived them was cast into the prize. God! He was cast into the lake of fire. And brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever. Now look at verse number 11. And I saw a great white throne, him that sat on it. Who's sitting on it? Jesus sitting on it. From whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. Now listen to this, it's serious now. Amen. He doesn't have the meek tender. He's not a baby anymore. Amen. He doesn't have the smiling, wonderful face here at this judgment. His face, his countenance is so serious that we're looking for a place to hide. What's he mad about? I use that term as being angry. What is the Lord angry about? Amen. Amen. It says here, I saw a great white throne. Him that sat on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. Amen. You're going to be in heaven. Come on, man, y'all can answer that. Okay, then you're going to be looking for a place to hide. You don't want to be there. Chris will be looking for a place to hide. There's no place to hide. You say, Brother Frazier, but I'm saved. I'm here, but I'm not being judged. But heaven and earth is looking for a place. We're looking for a place to hide. Mason, amen, the saved are going to be there, and they're looking for a place to hide. I'm going to be there. I don't want to be there. It's going to be horrible. It's going to be the worst day of our existence. Amen. God is fixing to bring up everybody that rejected Him. Everybody that did not receive Him is fixing to be brought up before God. Amen. All the way to the back, all the way to the very end. Amen. God's going to bring them up. He's going to bring them up to great white throne judgment. Amen. Every one of them, Brother Joe, all of them, not one of them is going to escape it. All of them are guilty. All of them are going to the lake of fire. Amen. He's bringing them up. Amen. Their name's not recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life. Amen. They're not saved. Amen. They're going to maybe argue or maybe even beg and plead. I think there'll be a lot of begging and plead going on that day. Oh my, what a horrible day. It's the great white throne judgment day. And sure enough, the Bible is coming through. Brother Allen used to say, that Matthew 7 over there, not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven. Many shall say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, hath that not Have we not prophesied in the name, and in the name of cast out devils, and in the name of done many wonderful works, amen, and then God the Lord Jesus is gonna profess unto them, depart from me, I never knew you, I never knew you. Workers of iniquity. God the Lord Jesus sitting on a great white throne. I picture it that we're either behind him or over to the side. We are not being judged. Amen. But we're watching it happen. And God is bringing up hell. Amen. He's bringing up hell and all the people that's been in it. Amen. They're all standing before God one at a time begging and pleading. Oh, God, I'm sorry now. Oh, God, I receive you now. Oh, God, I believe in you now. Oh, God, I'm sorry. Over and over and over and over. And some of them, hey man, according to the Bible, we're going to be crying. For God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Who's crying? We are. Amen. He's not talking about the ones that go into hell. He's wiping their eyes off. Amen. Whose eyes is He wiping? He's wiping our eyes. Amen. I think part of it's going to be because we're going to be sad that we didn't try harder. Going back to that song you sung, hey man, I wish I'd have worked and labored and done more for him. Hey man, sure enough, one by one they're gonna be brought up, we're gonna watch it, we're gonna be weeping and crying, wishing we had done our job. And a few songs just haunt me. That song, and you read him, no, you never mentioned him to me. That's awful. You met me day by day and knew I was astray, but you never mentioned him to me. There's not a person in here, not an adult in here anyway, that can't tell me, you don't know anybody that's lost. You know that there's people that's lost and you know who they are. And you know, amen, you meet them all the time. And can you even pull out a gospel track and hand it to them? Can you go in the bathroom at Hardee's and just put a couple of tracks out? Can you go to the gas station and go in there and drop one on the sink? I got a call not too long ago of a man that called me. He was on the phone. He was weeping and crying. Somebody had left a gospel track on the toilet, on the urinal it was. And that man came in. got that gospel tract, took it out in the parking lot, opened it up and read it, called me on the, my number's on the back, he called me begging and pleading, can you help me get to God, I don't want to die and lost and go to hell. His name was, I think it was Frederick, if I remember right, Frederick, he was 58 years old, he was begging and pleading God to save him in the parking lot. Isn't that wonderful? Amen. That night we had revival. Why was there revival? I told that story today. I got to lead somebody to the Lord on the phone because of a gospel track left at a truck stop. One of my men back in the back, he went into another world running and shouting and praising God. Amen. He ran all over the building. Amen. And finally when he slowed down enough, he said, I left that. I left it today. This great white throne will be horrible. People that you know will be there. Some of them may even accuse us. They may turn around and say, why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you try harder if you knew I was lost? You can say, well, I asked you that time to come to the revival, but you said you was on vacation. And that just dissolved the rest of your responsibility. Well, we've knocked on every door in this county. God ain't trying to save doors. Well, we went up and down that street, knocked on every door down through there. Did you get to talk to anybody? No, we didn't get to talk to anybody. We knocked on every door. Well, God, He ain't really interested on how many doors you can knock on. He wants you to talk to the person behind the door. You say, well, Brother Frazier, they won't come to the door. I understand that. I go through the same things you do. Amen. But, amen, am I trying to win somebody to God? Amen. Have you talked to anybody today? Did you try to win somebody today? Amen. Have you got a burden for somebody tomorrow? Are you going to try to tell somebody tomorrow? Amen. Tomorrow is Saturday. Most of you are off from work. What are your plans on winning souls tomorrow? Amen. What are you going to do? Amen. Where are you going to tell? Amen. How many tracts are you going to give out? Grab you some door hangers. Amen. You say, preacher, I'm kind of shy, I'm backward, and I just don't talk to people good. Good, grab a bunch of those door hangers. Amen, go down through there and hand them out everywhere. Amen, place them on the windshield of the cars down at the Walmart till they come run you out. Amen, they'll run out and say, we've done called the law. Good, that gives me plenty of time. You can be like Dukes of Hazzard. Amen, run out, jump through the window of your car. Amen, squeal the tires. Amen, and jump and come out of there before the law comes in. While he's coming in, you wave at him. Do-de-do. You got one of them horns, you can go do-de-do-de-do. Amen, and work your way on down to the grocery store. My wife, you know what she does? She puts them in the gas pumps. Amen, while I'm pumping gas, she's hitting every pump on the gas station. Amen, just for the fun of it, I took her up to that one that's got 180-something gas pumps up yonder. I said, I'll come back and get you in a couple hours, honey. Bucky's, amen, that put her to work. Some day we're going to stand before God at the judgment seat. Some day we're going to stand and we're going to watch what God does at the Great White Throne. Some of the people you begged and pleaded with, you've done everything that you possibly knew that you could. You presented the Bible. You took them out to eat. Amen. You called them. You text them. You gave them a Bible. Amen. You invited them to every Bible, but they said no every time. And you've done all that you could. Amen. Even though you'll probably still be crying, looking at them, watching that person being grabbed by God. Amen. And thrown into a lake of fire. a volcano, a lake, boiling lava, fire bulging and bubbling out and puking out, and God's going to take them and throw them into that fire. That's awful. Those that are not saved will be thrown into, and listen to this, an everlasting lake of fire. We find that here in the scriptures here, and whosoever was not found in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire, a lake of fire. And they're throwed into it. According to our Bible, it's eternal punishment. They shall go away into everlasting punishment. Amen. Somebody said you just burn up. I talked about it last night. No, you don't burn up. If you die lost, listen to this preacher now, if you die lost, amen, you say, well, I'm going to get saved, but I'm going to do it later when I'm older, when I'm tired of sin and everything. Listen to me. Amen. You say, yeah, but Brother Frazier, I just don't know if I can live it. I've got this craving for sin. Of course you do. Amen. There's pleasure in sin for a season. Amen. The natural-minded man desires it and craves it and wants it. Amen. But if you get saved, God changes you. Amen. He brings in, gives you a new heart, new desires. Amen. Your cravings are different. Amen. And He gives you power, amen, to have victory over sin. You'll love the things that you hated. You'll hate the things that you love. You'll love the things of God. Amen. And you'll hate the things of the world and of the devil and even yourself when you do wrong. Amen. Soon we're going to be leaving out. We're going to be leaving out. And we'll be at the judgment seat of Christ. Give an account for the things that you've done. Get your rewards or suffer loss. And then there'll be that great white throne 1,007 years later after that. And it will be the most horrible day of our lives. We'll cry and we'll weep. If it's somebody real close to us, we may even beg God, knowing that there's not an opportunity. It'll be too late. And we'll watch, listen to this, billions. Billions, with a B, of people be thrown into the lake of fire. Billions, billions. They'll beg and plead God, beg and plead God. They may look at Austin and say, why didn't you tell me, Austin? Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you try harder? And Austin will just stand there and weep and cry. He may even say, oh God, please have mercy. It's my fault, I didn't try hard enough. It won't matter. That person chose not to be saved. They could have been saved. They didn't get saved because they didn't want to be saved. Amen? Listen, maybe they wanted this world a little bit more. Maybe they wanted their sin just a little bit more. Well, I'll do it later when I get older. Let me tell you something. You're not promised you're going to get older. Me and your pastor almost died yesterday in a car crash. That's how close it was. We were that close to getting within six inches probably of dying yesterday. Amen. That's how close life can be gone. Amen. I preached funerals. Amen. Younger than everybody on this whole section right here. Amen. I preached a pile of them younger than y'all too. You can find a couple there. I preached a lot of funerals for young boys younger than Jackson. I preached one for a little baby that wasn't but a month old all the way up to in their 90s. I preached them older than Brother Al. Preached funerals from all different ages. You don't know when you're going to die. We can go to any graveyard you want to and find somebody younger than you. Some of you teenage girls, you think you're young. Teenage boys, you think you've got plenty of time. You may go out tomorrow. I'm not trying to scare anybody into doing something, but you better be fearful. According to the Bible, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. You don't even have any knowledge until you start fearing God. Brother Dustin said his son was talking to him and telling him that he was fearful. That's wonderful. It is wonderful because the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, the beginning of wisdom. Hey man, you can't get saved until you start fearing God. This coming down here and laughing, cutting up, chewing your gum, popping bubbles. Hey man, it ain't no fear there. And if you ain't got no fear there, there ain't gonna be no conviction there. And if there's no conviction there, there's not gonna be any conversion. Hey man, so you're wasting time. But someday, someday, someday. There's a preacher, I thought you said you was preaching on three judgments. You've only give us two. Amen, I'm gonna give you this last one. The last one I'm dealing with, amen, I can show you an example of it in 1 Corinthians 11 31. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. Here's how wonderful our God is. If we will judge ourselves, then God won't have to judge us at the Great White Throne. Are y'all listening to me? Let me tell you what I did, Joe. I did the same thing you did. I judged myself. Amen. Come now, let us reason together. God said, you know what I did? Amen. I reasoned it out in my mind according to God. Amen. I'm a sinner. We've all sinned and come short of the glory of God. There's none righteous, no, not one. All we like sheep's gone astray. Amen. All throughout the Bible. Amen. We're sinners. I pleaded guilty. Amen. I pleaded guilty. Amen. And because I pleaded guilty, amen, God recognized, amen, I humbled my spirit to him, amen. In other words, I judged myself. You're right, God, I'm wrong. Hey, God, you're right, I'm a sinner. God, you're right, amen. I need to be born again. I need to be forgiven. I need to be washed. I need you to forgive me and save me and cleanse me and sanctify me, amen, and birth me into your family. God, you're right, I'm wrong. It's like you're standing before the judge and being honest. I run that stop sign. And you tell him, and you're honest, and you just plead for mercy. God, you're right. You're right. God, you're perfect. You're right. You've done it all right. Everything in this book is perfect and right. You're righteous and holy. I'm wrong. I'm the sinner. And I plead guilty. I pleaded guilty before God. According to our Bible, we have an advocate with the Father. Amen. Jesus Christ the righteous. He's a perpetuation for our sins, not ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. So the Lord Jesus becomes our lawyer. Isn't he everything? Amen. He can be the judge and the lawyer. That's a good deal right there, praise God. If I'm going to have to go to court, I want the judge to be my lawyer. And sure enough, The Lord Jesus says if you'll judge your sin, you'll judge it yourself. So there's a judgment of sin, there's a judgment of sinners, there's a judgment, amen, of yourself. A judgment of self. Let me ask you the question. You don't have to raise your hand. But have you judged yourself? Have you agreed with God that you are a sinner and that you're lost and that you needed to be saved? According to our Bible, if you don't get saved, amen, you're going to die. And after you die, there's an appointed judgment. If you die without the Lord Jesus being your Lord and Savior, then you will someday stand at the great white throne judgment. You'll beg and plead God. You'll say, I'll do it now. God, I was foolish. I'm sorry. I agree with you now, but it's too late now. And God will cast you into a lake of fire. See, let me tell you something about our God. This world has a view of what they think our God is. They think that he's a God of love. And let me tell you something, he's not just a God of love, he is love, sir. He is love. We wouldn't even know about love if it wasn't for God telling us about love. He is love. But he's also a righteous and holy God. And he's also, amen, made it clear by this book and by his preachers that he has thunder in it out. Amen, that there's a judgment, there's a punishment for rejection of God's only begotten Son. Now, I give this illustration, I want to say it real quickly, but I give this illustration every once in a while. What if Dustin, hey, man, was driving home tonight, and while he's driving home, he sees a wreck in front of him, car spins out of control. You could tell he was going to crash because he was weaving all over the road. It was horrible. You was watching him, and you told your wife, you said, honey, he's going to crash that car. He must be drunk or doped out of his mind. He's going from one side of the road to the other. He must be on his cell phone. or something, but he's all over the road. And then you watch him as he veers off and goes down and crashes and it rolls, flips several times and crashes into a tree. And sure enough, Dustin being the kind of guy he is, hey man, he's going to whip it over and say, honey, you stay in the car and I'll be right back. And he takes off running down the bank and runs down there. Sure enough, I mean, smoke's coming out from under it. One tire's still turning. One plumb broke off. Windshield's all busted and caved in. The top's smashed in real hard. And Dustin comes running up there. He looks in, beer cans everywhere, the stench of marijuana rolling out. Hey, man, white powder all over the top of the car. He looks in there, and here's this old drunk in there. Hey, ma'am. And Dustin says, sir, you need to get out of the car. It could catch on fire about that time. You hear it start sizzling as the gasoline line starts to drip on the manifold and it starts dripping. It's a matter of time until it catches on fire. It's a matter of time until it blows up. And sure enough, he's cussing and blaspheming God. Amen. But Dustin's trying to get the door open. He can't. He runs around to the other side. He's pulling on the door. He can't get it loose. The man's in there. He's going to burn up. The car's on fire. He's trying to get it out, get it open, trying to pull the man out. All of a sudden, he looks through, and there's Jackson. Jackson has jumped out of the car to run down and help his daddy. What? And sure enough, Dustin looks through the other side and says, Jackson, go to the car. Get out of the car. He said, I can do it, daddy. I can get in here and unlock it. I can get him out. No, son, no. Go to the car. Get away from this car. He said, I can do it, daddy. And he slides on in there and unlatches it. And Dustin grabs the door, pulls it open, pulls the man out. And boom, it goes into a bomb. And Jackson didn't make it out. Sure enough, Dustin runs back over, it's on fire. His wife, she's running down the bank, she's screaming and hollering, get him out, get him out, it's too late. He's trying, it's an inferno. They can hear the screams. He's trying everything he can. And then finally he just realizes it's too late. His son gave his life so that this drunkard could live. I wonder how he would react. If he went over to that drunkard sitting over there laughing, he goes over and, sir, sir, don't laugh. My son just gave his life for you. And he says, I don't care. I didn't ask him to. I could care a stinking less. And you know what? I don't know Dustin real well, but I know Leland. And if my son gave his life for him, My countenance is gonna change. Oh sure enough, there'll be a law come, there'll be an ambulance come. I'll be in trouble. Are y'all listening? For every bit of wrath that I can come at with my feelings. My heart is broken. My son died in your place and you laughed? What if he spit on me? What if he spit on you, Dustin? Got in your face and said, I don't care, blankety blank. Something's gonna happen to Dustin. Let me tell you what's gonna happen at that great white throne, I'm done. God the Father will be there. If you wanna know why everything's so angry, it's because God has give his son, and it was worse than a car fire. They beat him beyond recognition. They beat his face basically off. They pulled his beard out by the hands full as they ripped and tore his face. Young man, they beat his eyes shut. Amen. His face, his visions, his appearance was marred, so marred, more than any man. His body, they'd beat it until the skin was dragging the ground while he walked his way up to Calvary. Amen, they drove nails in his hands and in his feet and according to Isaiah, amen, he was bruised for our iniquities, chastisement of our, amen, God poured out His wrath so that we could be saved. And if you wouldn't come and receive that, and humble yourself and judge yourself and agree with God and be saved, no wonder. Somebody said, would a loving God throw somebody into a lake of fire for eternity? The answer is yes. Yes. Because what's going to be flowing through the mind of God is I gave my son and I let him that done no wrong and was sinless perfection. I loved him. I had never been separated from him and I had to turn away from him for you. I did that for you and you laughed in my face. And now you're calling on me. But I will not answer. And he'll take and grab them. He'll throw them. He won't just escort them over there and then go into it. He is so angry, Brother Terry, that he is throwing them. How, hey, listen, how awful that will be to see God, amen, grabbing sinners and throwing them into the fire. You say, man, that sounds like an awesome God to do something like that. Oh, yeah, yeah. He's amazing. He's holy. He's just. He's righteous. And all that will come to Him and judge their selves won't have to be judged. Let's bow our heads together. I want to ask you a simple question. I'm fixing to turn over to the pastor. With every head bowed, nobody looking around. Every head bowed, every eye closed. I want to ask you a simple question.
