commandment of the Lord is pure the fear of the Lord is clean the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous this is what the Bible says about itself ask yourself anyone who inclines themselves puts themselves to study God's word if there's not a radical moral effect that changes I'm not talking about becoming a theologian we're not interested in more theologians we want disciples don't pontificate about what it means if you're not going to do it if you're going to study it God expects us to live it right so watch this how does these truths affect me again Psalm 19 watch the law of the Lord is perfect converting the soul that's how your soul is converted it's the law of the Lord it is perfect and what does it do it convicts me that I'm a sinner and I need to be changed today if you cannot agree with that first statement of verse seven you've got serious eternal problem friend you're telling God that he isn't always talking about that first statement in verse seven is the Lord saying you need me very badly I will live on forever I'm God you need my salvation and that's your first challenge second challenge is listen to this the testament of the Lord is sure making wise the simple making wise the dumb making wise the person who doesn't know this is an amazing thing wisdom is spectacular you can be a genius you could have graduated from MIT or Stanford you could be you could be a Harvard what so ever you know you're smart you know that means means you're smart you can make the dumbest decisions in life I know some people like this I hope they're not watching right now just don't on me as soon as it came out whoops but you can have all these degrees and you can have all of the theories and stuff and get up and walk right through a glass window I didn't see that you should open your eyes when you walk yeah listen wisdom is the application of knowledge that's what wisdom is wisdom is knowing how to use knowledge listen God says in James I will give every one of my children wisdom if they ask me for it so ask is that amazing you can be brilliant on paper and not be very wise you'd much rather have wisdom thirdly the statues of the Lord are right rejoicing the heart does not the world need a rejoicing heart in these days happy new year COVID round two there's something worse than sickness friends and that's losing your heart and your mind to depression wow you know what we need some rejoicing of the heart the commandment of the Lord is pure enlightening the eyes isn't that that even sounds good it's just like you're going to a doctor go down Newport Beach like to have my eyes enlightened right what would you like my eyes enlightened can't do it with a blade though there's no tucking tuck and roll for that one it's a matter of the countenance of your soul to have your eyes enlightened is to realize hey wait a minute I belong to God this whole universe belongs to him I don't know what's happening I don't need to know I trust him see what kind of and people when you do that you're from your neighbors and friends will go what are you nuts what do you want me to I want you to be miserable like me I want you to get down and grovel in your terror I want you to be so no no you know what I just read the Bible went to church today in the command of Lord is pure and enlightening the eyes wow God's amazing I'm gonna go with him first nice is the fear of the Lord is clean enduring forever I want to be on his side the judgements of the Lord are true and righteous there's one thing we know for sure nothing else is true and righteous but God number two as we come to this today heaven will you be going there the fact that there's in hell is the absence of heaven what makes hell hell a lot of things but one of them is the absence of heaven Jesus told us and spoke to us about heaven and hell in Matthew 25 verse 41 by the way Matthew 25 for you when you may find it interesting to know that Jesus spoke about hell more than any other person in the Bible and given what he did at the cross to keep people from going there makes sense to me he doesn't want you to go there so don't go there he says then he will also say to those on his left hand this is the day of judgment depart from me you curse it into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels did you know that that hell was made for Satan and his minions not for humans this presupposes by the way that hell was created before Adam and Eve were created we don't know when it was created but we know it was after the fall of Lucifer but before the arrival of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden God made hell for Satan and his fallen angels to be confined there in eternity you see well then why would humans go there that's a great question why why go there the Bible is very simple in this because quite frankly we are disciples of the flesh the world and the devil it says in first John without Christ in our lives we will do what the world tells us to do we will do what we want to do we will do what we desire will follow people the enemy of our souls will influence us or will make our own decisions and in this Christ is involved in your life that's the path that you're on right now in the hearing of my voice that's the path that you're on you're you're waiting right now for church to be over so you can go out and do your that thing that God is maybe San Diego yeah I don't think you should do that you shouldn't be doing that you see man that's this so unloving oh my friend if you think that's unloving you don't even know what love is if you tell your kid don't play on the freeway you get hurt oh man don't don't don't fence me in really you see those parents were the kids the kids about this big and the kid goes the kid goes I want that and the parent goes no you can't have it okay okay you can have it you see that I've been man those kids have got those parents trained really well we do that in life I want this I want that listen unless Jesus rescues you from you you are going to pull yourself down into a pit that you ought not to have gone to so on you it's not on him hell is where there's no love we don't even we can't even feather that the ugliest meanest wickedest person in the world right now it's still benefiting from the love of God in this world think of it hell is where there's no love I'm talking real I'm talking God's love here no no love there's no light see wait a minute what no there's no light did you know that how are you at the dark I'm not talking about a dark room years ago maybe you've been you can go to the Oregon caves and Oregon you go in there and they take you deep inside the cave they take you into the the grand auditorium I think they call it's all natural and huge and then the national park ranger gets you all in there and then he turns off the lights and at first it everybody goes oh oh wow it's dark and then this this is what happens it's really dark that's dark and then you hear mommy hold my hand no really and then you hear honey hold my hand and the ranger's talking about light and particles and the longer you're in there the quieter it gets and he said you know when we discovered these caves we found corpses in this cave in this case because people from whatever time would run into the cave or seek shelter get lost they can never find their way out because it was too dark I know it's a darkness that can be felt the park ranger will tell you on that tour that if you are lost inside here you'll probably go insane within a matter of days did you know that heart a hyper heart be respiratory you begin to panic and hyperventilate and it's as though you're in this big spacious room and it's as though you're being suffocated because the darkness starts to crush you and it's on in your mind and the Bible says that hell is dark and no light there's no love there's no light there's no life I didn't say there weren't living people there I said there's no life the Bible is very clear that those who are in hell are very very much living but they have no life so I wanted to spell something that a lot of people think is true yeah man you know what I don't need Jesus I'm going to party with my friends we're being held and we'll read like magazines and we'll drink from time to time and tell dirty jokes that's what we'll do no you won't no you won't because the Bible says it's a place that you're fully absolutely alone none of your friends will be there well they may be there you'll have no knowledge of them being there the Bible says you are forever falling you know that feeling some people like it I don't think so when you add on the rest of the attributes of hell the Bible says you're on fire so wait a minute if you're on fire there's gonna be some light no there's no light but you're on fire you're burning the Bible says that you're also in the lake of fire yet no light but always on the brink of drowning the Bible says Jesus said it's where there's weeping and gnashing of teeth look I don't know about you but I think I'd listen you know to what Jesus says about it you know how stupid your opinion would be right now about what you think hell is like that God would come and die in the cross so you wouldn't have to go there Jesus says it's a place where there's weeping and gnashing of teeth you know gnashing of teeth means it means that you move your teeth back and forth until they break you know some people in our culture today there's you wear bite splints created by your dentist to keep you from breaking your teeth did you know that you've cracked your teeth from stress you're not gonna have a bite splint in hell Jesus said it's a place where the worms time out the worm of the grave constantly naws on you can you imagine just trying to get something away and you're falling and it's pitch black and you feel like you're burning and there's nobody there to come for you this is why Jesus came you're not gonna hear this listen this is not how you grow a church it gives you messages like this this is called negative church growth tactics um but he doesn't want you there he wants you with him in heaven and so I'm I'm gonna give you this and I'm not joking I don't know it sounds funny but I did this ending because it's you can relate to it's the entrance into heaven what about it very quickly uh there's limited seating available you said come on quick joking around some woman heard second service you call the church she's all been out of shape because she thought I said heaven is limited like well you put in your pocket you put it on the shelf that's heaven that's not what I said I said this there's limited seating available I didn't make it up Jesus said in Matthew chapter 7 verse 13 enter in by the narrow gate because why does the gate and broads the way that leads to destruction and there are many who go in by it because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life and there are few who find it this is the word these are words of Jesus Jesus is saying there's only one way to come by the way I am that way he said I am the way the truth in life nobody comes to the father but through me what about other religions you're lost what about other religious groups and gurus enlightened ones lost what about other religious books and holy books lies there's only one covering the story from the beginning to the end forever limited seating the Bible says many are called old few are chosen that means in God's in God's foreknowledge he knows those when the imitation goes out to accept he knows those who will accept and he knows those who will reject based on his foreknowledge he knows by predestination that when the opportunity goes to you and you say I can't accept Jesus I'm really I'm dating this hot guy right now I mean he might dump me what's his name bill bill is Lord what's what's her name I always say Susie and so people write me say you always say Susie I don't know why but I can't accept Jesus Susie's really amazing Lord Susie she pulls the strings he's the puppeteer Susie and Bill will not be there to hold your hand at that moment secondly reservations are required seating's limited reservations are required okay this is going to create a riot I'm going to just be just to tell you it is many of you have come from a church background where you haven't listened to a word I've said today because you don't have to do because you get to play and do whatever you want to do and then run back quickly and get confession and if that doesn't work in time if you get killed on your way to confession a priest can run over there and give you a last right and if that doesn't work and you wind up in purgatory don't worry about you can get out you know who invented that stuff man that's not in the Bible anywhere is it in the Bible here's the deal the Bible says it's appointed into every human every human being wants to die and then comes their judgment there's no second chance after that she would have passed you kid me I thought I could sleep with bubbles and go out and do this with Rocky and then wind up going to heaven eventually I mean I've waited out at the price I'm going to do it you better watch it there's no second chance after you're dead you go as straight into eternity one way or the other up or down smoking or non-smoking but you have to have a reservation is your name written in the lambs book of life and then finally we end right here you need to act now I supply less this sounds like a
