Are seven kinds of people god cannot save.
00:00:15.576 --> 00:00:17.211
God cannot save. are you numbered among them?
00:00:17.278 --> 00:00:19.346
Are you numbered among them? those of you here,
00:00:19.413 --> 00:00:20.047
Those of you here, those of you who are watching
00:00:20.114 --> 00:00:21.082
Those of you who are watching by television,
00:00:21.148 --> 00:00:22.683
By television, you can go to church,
00:00:22.750 --> 00:00:24.285
You can go to church, sing the songs,
00:00:24.351 --> 00:00:26.020
Sing the songs, but until you meet jesus --
00:00:26.087 --> 00:00:28.122
But until you meet jesus -- [that's right.]
00:00:28.189 --> 00:00:29.090
[that's right.] -- you're not going to heaven.
00:00:29.156 --> 00:00:31.058
-- you're not going to heaven. matthew 7:14,
00:00:31.125 --> 00:00:32.960
Matthew 7:14, the lord says,
00:00:33.027 --> 00:00:34.528
The lord says, "broad is the way that leads
00:00:34.595 --> 00:00:35.830
"broad is the way that leads to destruction,
00:00:35.896 --> 00:00:38.299
To destruction, and many there be
00:00:38.365 --> 00:00:39.400
And many there be that find it.
00:00:39.467 --> 00:00:40.668
That find it. and narrow is the way
00:00:40.734 --> 00:00:42.236
And narrow is the way that leads to heaven,
00:00:42.303 --> 00:00:43.771
That leads to heaven, and few there be
00:00:43.838 --> 00:00:46.373
And few there be that find it."
00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:48.008
That find it." that's god's word.
00:00:48.075 --> 00:00:50.144
That's god's word. that's why i'm so intense
00:00:50.211 --> 00:00:51.679
That's why i'm so intense about this subject.

00:00:54.548 --> 00:00:55.349
The judgment bar, i want to see the saints
00:00:55.416 --> 00:00:57.451
I want to see the saints of cornerstone church
00:00:57.518 --> 00:00:58.786
Of cornerstone church flying through the gate,
00:00:58.853 --> 00:01:00.488
Flying through the gate, pure by the blood of

00:01:09.096 --> 00:01:09.630
Ready? "certain people that trusted
00:01:09.697 --> 00:01:10.998
"certain people that trusted in themselves that they
00:01:11.065 --> 00:01:12.833
In themselves that they were righteous,
00:01:12.900 --> 00:01:13.601
Were righteous, and despised others:
00:01:13.667 --> 00:01:15.369
And despised others: two men went up to the temple
00:01:15.436 --> 00:01:16.871
Two men went up to the temple to pray,
00:01:16.937 --> 00:01:17.438
To pray, one a pharisee and the other
00:01:17.505 --> 00:01:19.073
One a pharisee and the other a publican.
00:01:19.140 --> 00:01:20.574
A publican. the pharisee stood and prayed
00:01:20.641 --> 00:01:22.476
The pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself,
00:01:22.543 --> 00:01:23.911
Thus with himself, god, i thank thee,
00:01:23.978 --> 00:01:25.346
God, i thank thee, that i am not like
00:01:25.412 --> 00:01:26.113
That i am not like other men are,
00:01:26.180 --> 00:01:27.181
Other men are, extortioners,
00:01:27.248 --> 00:01:27.848
Extortioners, unjust,
00:01:27.915 --> 00:01:28.582
Unjust, adulterers,
00:01:28.649 --> 00:01:29.216
Adulterers, or even as this publican.
00:01:29.283 --> 00:01:31.185
Or even as this publican. i fast twice in the week,
00:01:31.252 --> 00:01:32.720
I fast twice in the week, and i give tithes of all
00:01:32.786 --> 00:01:33.988
And i give tithes of all that i possess.
00:01:34.054 --> 00:01:35.022
That i possess. and the publican,
00:01:35.089 --> 00:01:35.890
And the publican, standing afar off,
00:01:35.956 --> 00:01:36.957
Standing afar off, would not lift up so much as
00:01:37.024 --> 00:01:38.325
Would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven,
00:01:38.392 --> 00:01:39.593
His eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast,
00:01:39.660 --> 00:01:41.195
But smote upon his breast, saying,
00:01:41.262 --> 00:01:41.795
Saying, god be merciful to me
00:01:41.862 --> 00:01:42.830
God be merciful to me a sinner.
00:01:42.897 --> 00:01:43.931
A sinner. i tell you that this man went
00:01:43.998 --> 00:01:45.499
I tell you that this man went down to his house justified
00:01:45.566 --> 00:01:47.635
Down to his house justified rather than the other:
00:01:47.701 --> 00:01:49.136
Rather than the other: for everyone who exalts
00:01:49.203 --> 00:01:50.471
For everyone who exalts himself shall be abased;
00:01:50.538 --> 00:01:52.840
Himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself
00:01:52.907 --> 00:01:54.975
And he that humbles himself shall be exalted."
00:01:55.042 --> 00:01:56.510
Shall be exalted." [amen.]
00:01:56.577 --> 00:01:57.444
[amen.] let's pray together.
00:01:57.511 --> 00:01:58.212
Let's pray together. father, thank you for
00:01:58.279 --> 00:01:59.079
Father, thank you for your word.
00:01:59.146 --> 00:02:00.581
Your word. let the light of god's truth
00:02:00.648 --> 00:02:02.183
Let the light of god's truth lead us to the cross,
00:02:02.249 --> 00:02:03.984
Lead us to the cross, lead us to a personal
00:02:04.051 --> 00:02:05.052
Lead us to a personal relationship with
00:02:05.119 --> 00:02:05.953
Relationship with jesus christ.
00:02:06.020 --> 00:02:07.688
Jesus christ. in your name,
00:02:07.755 --> 00:02:08.222
In your name, we pray and ask these things.
00:02:08.289 --> 00:02:09.690
We pray and ask these things. and all of god's children
00:02:09.757 --> 00:02:10.724
And all of god's children said, amen.
00:02:10.791 --> 00:02:11.725
Said, amen. [amen!]
00:02:11.792 --> 00:02:12.359
[amen!] you may be seated.
00:02:12.426 --> 00:02:14.228
You may be seated. let me say immediately,
00:02:14.295 --> 00:02:15.596
Let me say immediately, for those of you here and
00:02:15.663 --> 00:02:16.764
For those of you here and those of you who are watching
00:02:16.830 --> 00:02:17.831
Those of you who are watching by television,
00:02:17.898 --> 00:02:19.066
By television, that god loves every person
00:02:19.133 --> 00:02:20.434
That god loves every person on this earth,
00:02:20.501 --> 00:02:22.336
On this earth, good, bad, evil,
00:02:22.403 --> 00:02:24.071
Good, bad, evil, whatever you may be.
00:02:24.138 --> 00:02:25.873
Whatever you may be. the bible says,
00:02:25.940 --> 00:02:26.707
The bible says, "god so loved the world,
00:02:26.774 --> 00:02:27.975
"god so loved the world, that he gave his only
00:02:28.042 --> 00:02:28.776
That he gave his only begotten son,
00:02:28.842 --> 00:02:30.477
Begotten son, that whoever believeth
00:02:30.544 --> 00:02:31.478
That whoever believeth in him should not perish,
00:02:31.545 --> 00:02:33.347
In him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
00:02:33.414 --> 00:02:35.583
But have everlasting life." but god cannot save
00:02:35.649 --> 00:02:37.151
But god cannot save the self-righteous.
00:02:37.218 --> 00:02:38.185
The self-righteous. that's person number one.
00:02:38.252 --> 00:02:39.954
That's person number one. notice the phrase that
00:02:40.020 --> 00:02:41.021
Notice the phrase that "they trusted in themselves
00:02:41.088 --> 00:02:42.489
"they trusted in themselves that they were righteous."
00:02:42.556 --> 00:02:44.191
That they were righteous." the bible says,
00:02:44.258 --> 00:02:44.858
The bible says, "trust in the lord with all of
00:02:44.925 --> 00:02:46.060
"trust in the lord with all of your heart and lean not to
00:02:46.126 --> 00:02:47.895
Your heart and lean not to your own understanding."
00:02:47.962 --> 00:02:50.197
Your own understanding." point:
00:02:50.264 --> 00:02:50.998
Point: when you trust only in
00:02:51.065 --> 00:02:52.233
When you trust only in yourself,
00:02:52.299 --> 00:02:52.733
Yourself, you are your god.
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:54.635
You are your god. you don't need god;
00:02:54.702 --> 00:02:56.437
You don't need god; therefore, god cannot
00:02:56.503 --> 00:02:57.404
Therefore, god cannot save you.
00:02:57.471 --> 00:02:58.606
Save you. jesus told this story to
00:02:58.672 --> 00:03:00.174
Jesus told this story to pharisees that fasted
00:03:00.241 --> 00:03:02.042
Pharisees that fasted twice a week.
00:03:02.109 --> 00:03:03.177
Twice a week. they tithed up to 30% of all
00:03:03.244 --> 00:03:05.946
They tithed up to 30% of all of their income.
00:03:06.013 --> 00:03:07.147
Of their income. jesus said,
00:03:07.214 --> 00:03:07.815
Jesus said, "except your righteousness
00:03:07.881 --> 00:03:09.283
"except your righteousness exceeds that of the pharisees,
00:03:09.350 --> 00:03:11.452
Exceeds that of the pharisees, you shall not inherit
00:03:11.518 --> 00:03:12.720
You shall not inherit the kingdom of god."
00:03:12.786 --> 00:03:14.488
The kingdom of god." there are people who have
00:03:14.555 --> 00:03:15.522
There are people who have religion without
00:03:15.589 --> 00:03:16.457
Religion without righteousness.
00:03:16.523 --> 00:03:18.325
Righteousness. they have ceremony without
00:03:18.392 --> 00:03:19.727
They have ceremony without consecration.
00:03:19.793 --> 00:03:21.528
Consecration. they have profession without
00:03:21.595 --> 00:03:23.564
They have profession without possession.
00:03:23.631 --> 00:03:25.165
Possession. the bible says,
00:03:25.232 --> 00:03:25.966
The bible says, "they are clouds without
00:03:26.033 --> 00:03:27.334
"they are clouds without rain."
00:03:27.401 --> 00:03:28.168
Rain." "they are wells without
00:03:28.235 --> 00:03:29.770
"they are wells without water."
00:03:29.837 --> 00:03:30.504
Water." "they are trees without
00:03:30.571 --> 00:03:32.273
"they are trees without fruit."
00:03:32.339 --> 00:03:33.107
Fruit." "they are as sounding brass
00:03:33.173 --> 00:03:34.908
"they are as sounding brass and tinkling cymbals."
00:03:34.975 --> 00:03:36.610
And tinkling cymbals." "they make noise but they
00:03:36.677 --> 00:03:38.379
"they make noise but they are not substantive."
00:03:38.445 --> 00:03:40.314
Are not substantive." the self-righteous hate
00:03:40.381 --> 00:03:41.515
The self-righteous hate this story because it's
00:03:41.582 --> 00:03:42.683
This story because it's their portrait.
00:03:42.750 --> 00:03:43.751
Their portrait. it's the portrait of many
00:03:43.817 --> 00:03:45.419
It's the portrait of many who sit in america's churches.
00:03:45.486 --> 00:03:48.289
Who sit in america's churches. it's the god of self.
00:03:48.355 --> 00:03:50.591
It's the god of self. that's america's favorite
00:03:50.658 --> 00:03:51.825
That's america's favorite idol.
00:03:51.892 --> 00:03:52.860
Idol. yet this story is as tender
00:03:52.926 --> 00:03:54.428
Yet this story is as tender as a mother's touch and as
00:03:54.495 --> 00:03:56.263
As a mother's touch and as healing as a mother's kiss
00:03:56.330 --> 00:03:58.065
Healing as a mother's kiss to those who have sinned.
00:03:58.132 --> 00:03:59.466
To those who have sinned. the bible says
00:03:59.533 --> 00:04:00.234
The bible says in proverbs 28:13
00:04:00.301 --> 00:04:02.136
In proverbs 28:13 that those who will confess
00:04:02.202 --> 00:04:03.804
That those who will confess and forsake their sin
00:04:03.871 --> 00:04:05.706
And forsake their sin shall have mercy
00:04:05.773 --> 00:04:06.507
Shall have mercy with the lord.
00:04:06.573 --> 00:04:08.642
With the lord. that is a powerful verse.
00:04:08.709 --> 00:04:09.877
That is a powerful verse. listen to it.
00:04:09.943 --> 00:04:11.145
Listen to it. "those who confess and forsake
00:04:11.211 --> 00:04:13.681
"those who confess and forsake their sin shall have mercy
00:04:13.747 --> 00:04:15.749
Their sin shall have mercy with the lord."
00:04:15.816 --> 00:04:16.417
With the lord." right now,
00:04:16.483 --> 00:04:17.318
Right now, there's a doctrine going
00:04:17.384 --> 00:04:18.719
There's a doctrine going through america of what i call
00:04:18.786 --> 00:04:20.454
Through america of what i call "unlimited grace."
00:04:20.521 --> 00:04:21.522
"unlimited grace." you sin and keep on sinning,
00:04:21.588 --> 00:04:23.123
You sin and keep on sinning, keep on sinning,
00:04:23.190 --> 00:04:23.924
Keep on sinning, and god just lets you keep on
00:04:23.991 --> 00:04:25.292
And god just lets you keep on sinning,
00:04:25.359 --> 00:04:25.826
Sinning, and it's alright with him
00:04:25.893 --> 00:04:27.094
And it's alright with him because god's grace has no
00:04:27.161 --> 00:04:28.696
Because god's grace has no limit.
00:04:28.762 --> 00:04:29.296
Limit. i assure you,
00:04:29.363 --> 00:04:30.064
I assure you, god's grace does have a limit.
00:04:30.130 --> 00:04:32.599
God's grace does have a limit. god's grace gives you the time
00:04:32.666 --> 00:04:34.401
God's grace gives you the time to confess your sin.
00:04:34.468 --> 00:04:37.438
To confess your sin. in the old testament,
00:04:37.504 --> 00:04:38.205
In the old testament, if you sinned,
00:04:38.272 --> 00:04:39.740
If you sinned, they knocked you off
00:04:39.807 --> 00:04:40.507
They knocked you off right there.
00:04:40.574 --> 00:04:42.076
Right there. in the new testament,
00:04:42.142 --> 00:04:42.976
In the new testament, to sin and continue sinning
00:04:43.043 --> 00:04:46.880
To sin and continue sinning without abandoning
00:04:46.947 --> 00:04:48.048
Without abandoning your sin,
00:04:48.115 --> 00:04:48.882
Your sin, is to make the grace of god
00:04:48.949 --> 00:04:50.551
Is to make the grace of god an accomplice to evil.
00:04:50.617 --> 00:04:52.519
An accomplice to evil. think about that.
00:04:52.586 --> 00:04:53.821
Think about that. it makes the grace of god
00:04:53.887 --> 00:04:55.656
It makes the grace of god an accomplice to evil.
00:04:55.723 --> 00:04:57.491

I'm going to just choose a few words that are a consensus
00:05:04.164 --> 00:05:07.034
Words that are a consensus of what the bible is trying
00:05:07.101 --> 00:05:08.202
Of what the bible is trying to say.
00:05:08.268 --> 00:05:09.136
To say. the pharisee is conceited.

He's arrogant. he's pompous.
00:05:12.239 --> 00:05:13.273
He's pompous. he's self-righteous.

He's self-righteous. he--
00:05:14.675 --> 00:05:15.509
He-- he or she is holier than thou.

He's judgmental, mean spirited.
00:05:20.013 --> 00:05:21.281
Mean spirited. in the theatre of your mind,

In the theatre of your mind, see the pharisee climb
00:05:22.583 --> 00:05:24.184
See the pharisee climb the steps of the synagogue.
00:05:24.251 --> 00:05:25.986
The steps of the synagogue. he has on his long robe.

And when he can be seen by all,
00:05:33.694 --> 00:05:34.628
By all, he must be heard as he bellows
00:05:34.695 --> 00:05:36.997
He must be heard as he bellows not a prayer.
00:05:37.064 --> 00:05:38.198
Not a prayer. but it's a public announcement
00:05:38.265 --> 00:05:39.900
But it's a public announcement of his goodness.
00:05:39.967 --> 00:05:41.635
Of his goodness. listen to his prayer.
00:05:41.702 --> 00:05:42.669

That's pride. that's demonic pride.
00:13:15.922 --> 00:13:17.991

Prayer is not telling god how to do your will.
00:15:08.301 --> 00:15:10.470

He's a jewish guy who worked for rome on a percentage.
00:16:32.752 --> 00:16:34.621

You're going to pay. and if you don't pay it,
00:16:44.697 --> 00:16:45.598
And if you don't pay it, rome puts you in prison.
00:16:45.665 --> 00:16:47.934
Rome puts you in prison. this tax collector was hated
00:16:48.001 --> 00:16:49.903
This tax collector was hated by the jewish people.
00:16:49.969 --> 00:16:52.472
By the jewish people. say "irs" and then multiply
00:16:52.539 --> 00:16:54.674
Say "irs" and then multiply that by 200.
00:16:54.741 --> 00:16:56.876
That by 200. (laughter)
00:16:56.943 --> 00:16:57.177
(laughter) a fellow jew had three things
00:16:57.243 --> 00:16:59.312
A fellow jew had three things to do if he touched a publican
00:16:59.379 --> 00:17:02.015
To do if he touched a publican in a private crowd.
00:17:02.082 --> 00:17:03.583
In a private crowd. one,
00:17:03.650 --> 00:17:03.983
One, he would spit in disgust.
00:17:04.050 --> 00:17:06.419
He would spit in disgust. two,
00:17:06.486 --> 00:17:07.320
Two, he would go home
00:17:07.387 --> 00:17:08.221
He would go home and immediately bathe.
00:17:08.288 --> 00:17:10.757
And immediately bathe. three,
00:17:10.824 --> 00:17:11.291
Three, he would burn his clothes he

00:17:14.794 --> 00:17:16.729
That tax collector. notice the publican's prayer.
00:17:16.796 --> 00:17:18.465
Notice the publican's prayer. he stood afar off.
00:17:18.531 --> 00:17:19.632
He stood afar off. this is not for show.
00:17:19.699 --> 00:17:21.301
This is not for show. this was between himself
00:17:21.367 --> 00:17:22.335
This was between himself and god.
00:17:22.402 --> 00:17:23.303
And god. this is not a performance.
00:17:23.369 --> 00:17:24.704
This is not a performance. this is a gut-wrenching
00:17:24.771 --> 00:17:26.573
This is a gut-wrenching confession of his sin.
00:17:26.639 --> 00:17:28.408
Confession of his sin. he did not lift his eyes
00:17:28.475 --> 00:17:29.609
He did not lift his eyes toward heaven because he did
00:17:29.676 --> 00:17:30.877
Toward heaven because he did not think he was worthy
00:17:30.944 --> 00:17:34.414
Not think he was worthy to look god in the face.
00:17:34.481 --> 00:17:36.349
To look god in the face. he smote his breast,
00:17:36.416 --> 00:17:37.450
He smote his breast, which is a jewish expression
00:17:37.517 --> 00:17:38.785
Which is a jewish expression of deep sorrow and remorse
00:17:38.852 --> 00:17:40.653
Of deep sorrow and remorse for his sin.
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:41.521
For his sin. jesus said,
00:17:41.588 --> 00:17:42.489
Jesus said, "blessed are they who mourn,
00:17:42.555 --> 00:17:44.390
"blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted."
00:17:44.457 --> 00:17:47.627
For they shall be comforted." mourn for what?

Mourn for what? their sin.
00:17:48.761 --> 00:17:49.929
Their sin. the greek reading of this text
00:17:49.996 --> 00:17:51.464
The greek reading of this text is "god be merciful to me,
00:17:51.531 --> 00:17:52.999
Is "god be merciful to me, the sinner,"
00:17:53.066 --> 00:17:53.967
The sinner," not a sinner,
00:17:54.033 --> 00:17:54.868
Not a sinner, but "the" sinner.
00:17:54.934 --> 00:17:55.969
But "the" sinner. i am the worst of the worst.
00:17:56.035 --> 00:17:57.370
I am the worst of the worst. i am here pleading for
00:17:57.437 --> 00:17:58.605
I am here pleading for god's mercy.
00:17:58.671 --> 00:17:59.706
God's mercy. the word "mercy" here refers
00:17:59.772 --> 00:18:01.407
The word "mercy" here refers to the blood atonement.
00:18:01.474 --> 00:18:02.742
To the blood atonement. listen closely.
00:18:02.809 --> 00:18:04.110
Listen closely. on the day of atonement,
00:18:04.177 --> 00:18:05.178
On the day of atonement, the high priest took the blood
00:18:05.245 --> 00:18:06.679
The high priest took the blood of the lamb and sprinkled it
00:18:06.746 --> 00:18:08.381
Of the lamb and sprinkled it over the gold-covered seat of
00:18:08.448 --> 00:18:10.917
Over the gold-covered seat of the mercy seat in the ark
00:18:10.984 --> 00:18:12.552
The mercy seat in the ark of the covenant.
00:18:12.619 --> 00:18:14.587
Of the covenant. the ten commandments are in
00:18:14.654 --> 00:18:16.089
The ten commandments are in that ark of the covenant.
00:18:16.156 --> 00:18:18.024
That ark of the covenant. there's blood on the lid.
00:18:18.091 --> 00:18:20.727
There's blood on the lid. in the ark was
00:18:20.793 --> 00:18:21.928
In the ark was the ten commandments,
00:18:21.995 --> 00:18:22.929
The ten commandments, which is the law.
00:18:22.996 --> 00:18:24.631
Which is the law. you can't know the love of god
00:18:24.697 --> 00:18:26.566
You can't know the love of god without the law of god.
00:18:26.633 --> 00:18:29.202
Without the law of god. when the high priest
00:18:29.269 --> 00:18:30.203
When the high priest sprinkled the blood over
00:18:30.270 --> 00:18:31.471
Sprinkled the blood over the mercy seat,
00:18:31.538 --> 00:18:32.639
The mercy seat, god in heaven had to look
00:18:32.705 --> 00:18:34.307
God in heaven had to look through the blood to see
00:18:34.374 --> 00:18:36.376
Through the blood to see the law,
00:18:36.442 --> 00:18:37.644
The law, because the blood guarantees
00:18:37.710 --> 00:18:40.013
Because the blood guarantees mercy.
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:41.314
Mercy. the blood guarantees mercy.
00:18:41.381 --> 00:18:43.783
The blood guarantees mercy. listen to me.
00:18:43.850 --> 00:18:44.784
Listen to me. i don't care how low your sin,
00:18:44.851 --> 00:18:47.687
I don't care how low your sin, how massive your sin.
00:18:47.754 --> 00:18:49.822
How massive your sin. if you ask for god's mercy,
00:18:49.889 --> 00:18:51.958
If you ask for god's mercy, the blood of calvary
00:18:52.025 --> 00:18:53.193
The blood of calvary guarantees that god will
00:18:53.259 --> 00:18:54.761
Guarantees that god will give you mercy,
00:18:54.827 --> 00:18:56.095
Give you mercy, total forgiveness,
00:18:56.162 --> 00:18:57.397
Total forgiveness, a new beginning,
00:18:57.463 --> 00:18:58.431
A new beginning, a new hope,
00:18:58.498 --> 00:18:59.432
A new hope, a new joy,
00:18:59.499 --> 00:19:00.533
A new joy, a new life,
00:19:00.600 --> 00:19:01.768
A new life, and give it to you today!
00:19:01.834 --> 00:19:04.904
And give it to you today! (applause)
00:19:04.971 --> 00:19:07.941
(applause) back to the seven ways.
00:19:08.007 --> 00:19:09.742
Back to the seven ways. secondly,
00:19:09.809 --> 00:19:10.510
Secondly, god cannot save those
00:19:10.577 --> 00:19:11.711
God cannot save those who will not believe.
00:19:11.778 --> 00:19:13.079
Who will not believe. john 12:37:
00:19:13.146 --> 00:19:14.514
John 12:37: but although he had done
00:19:14.581 --> 00:19:16.015
But although he had done many signs before them,
00:19:16.082 --> 00:19:17.483
Many signs before them, they did not believe in him.
00:19:17.550 --> 00:19:19.519
They did not believe in him. the bible says,
00:19:19.586 --> 00:19:20.286
The bible says, "believe on the lord
00:19:20.353 --> 00:19:21.254
"believe on the lord jesus christ
00:19:21.321 --> 00:19:22.822
Jesus christ and you shall be saved."
00:19:22.889 --> 00:19:25.158
And you shall be saved." if a man does not believe,
00:19:25.225 --> 00:19:26.593
If a man does not believe, is he to blame?
00:19:26.659 --> 00:19:27.827
Is he to blame? yes.
00:19:27.894 --> 00:19:28.695
Yes. more than half of the world
00:19:28.761 --> 00:19:30.029
More than half of the world is a doubting thomas,
00:19:30.096 --> 00:19:31.497
Is a doubting thomas, afraid to believe
00:19:31.564 --> 00:19:33.032
Afraid to believe or refuse to believe.
00:19:33.099 --> 00:19:34.767
Or refuse to believe. jesus said,
00:19:34.834 --> 00:19:35.468
Jesus said, "i am the light of the world."
00:19:35.535 --> 00:19:37.370
"i am the light of the world." "where two or three of you
00:19:37.437 --> 00:19:38.638
"where two or three of you have gathered in my name,
00:19:38.705 --> 00:19:39.772
Have gathered in my name, i will be there."
00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:41.274
I will be there." this is a lighthouse.
00:19:41.341 --> 00:19:42.542
This is a lighthouse. in jesus' name,
00:19:42.609 --> 00:19:43.876
In jesus' name, you can walk out of
00:19:43.943 --> 00:19:44.911
You can walk out of your personal darkness today
00:19:44.978 --> 00:19:47.080
Your personal darkness today into the glorious light of
00:19:47.146 --> 00:19:48.715
Into the glorious light of the son of god.
00:19:48.781 --> 00:19:50.283
The son of god. we all face the same fact:
00:19:50.350 --> 00:19:52.118
We all face the same fact: some believe,
00:19:52.185 --> 00:19:52.819
Some believe, some doubt.
00:19:52.885 --> 00:19:53.686
Some doubt. why?
00:19:53.753 --> 00:19:54.420
Why? because the problem is not
00:19:54.487 --> 00:19:55.888
Because the problem is not in the facts.
00:19:55.955 --> 00:19:56.889
In the facts. the problem is in your
00:19:56.956 --> 00:19:58.224
The problem is in your willingness to accept
00:19:58.291 --> 00:19:59.392
Willingness to accept jesus christ.
00:19:59.459 --> 00:20:00.493
Jesus christ. thirdly,
00:20:00.560 --> 00:20:01.060
Thirdly, god cannot save those who try
00:20:01.127 --> 00:20:02.428
God cannot save those who try to come to salvation
00:20:02.495 --> 00:20:03.563
To come to salvation another way.
00:20:03.630 --> 00:20:04.964
Another way. john 5:39 says,
00:20:05.031 --> 00:20:06.733
John 5:39 says, "search the scriptures...
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:07.667
"search the scriptures... they testify of me.
00:20:07.734 --> 00:20:09.469
They testify of me. and you will not come to me
00:20:09.535 --> 00:20:10.970
