Imagine yourself, you're on a sunny beach on a sunny day, or you're playing golf on a beautiful golf course, or you're out taking a morning walk, when a pain grips your chest, and your legs become cement, and you crumble to the ground, stone dead from a heart attack, then demons grab hold of your soul, as you are driven from light into darkness, as you're chased out of this world into another world you were quite unprepared for, but Jesus calls hell, outer darkness, and that's what it is friend, and you go from light to that darkness quicker than you can snap your fingers, I'm being honest with you, with your souls tonight friend, I don't want you to go to hell, I don't want you to go there, even from a church pew, or even from a pulpit, you can be active in a church, reform yourself in many ways, but if there remains but one evil way, then there's ungodliness, if a man lives in a way of sin, it not only renders his profession suspicious, but it's full evidence against him, if there's a rotten spot in your life, and you refuse to turn it over to God, and seek his grace to forsake it, and turn from it, then that is proof in itself, you are not subject to God's authority, and if you're not subject to his authority, he won't allow any rebels in his kingdom, he will not run up the flag of peace upon your soul, while you still have a shotgun pointed at him, listen to me friend, you'll be condemned at the day of judgment, before thrice holy God, who's the righteous judge of all the earth, just one way of sin, known about, and indulged in, will damn you, because if you're living in a way of sin, that is enough to expose all your pleas, and pretenses of claiming to be a follower of Christ Jesus, living in a course of lying, or stealing, or profanity, or drunkenness, or fornication, they're just a few of the damning evidence, they'll follow you into eternity, and stack up against you, as proof and evidence against your sincerity, even if you steal clear of great transgressions, and you hope that on that day, God will not insist on small things, you are deceived, because even though the sin that you live in is small, it's still big enough to damn you, one small leak still sinks a big ship, a .22 caliber bullet will kill you just as quick as a ballistic missile, if you're bucking God in one area of your life, and you refuse to give to Him, you will be the one thing that brings His gavel of justice down upon your head, in the end, there is contempt toward God in small sins, there is enough rebellion to God, that God will wrap up in little sins, He'll damn you for sure, God's word in Proverbs 19 .16 declares, he that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul, but he that despiseth his way, shall die, some settle upon a false bottom of religion, when things are going their way, if a man is willing to serve God in ordinary circumstances, where his liberty and safety is secured, he is alright, but he will excuse himself when things get too hot, when there are great difficulties, so he must be excused, because he will not risk confiscation of his goods, or prison, or death, for his profession of faith, unregenerate religious men, cannot be counted on, or even trusted, though they may be ready to own their own fault, by being ashamed, and shedding some tears, but soon, when the temptation returns, they are as bad as before, so was King Saul, who was a prideful, sinful man, who kept on trying to kill David, but confessing, but never repenting, and forsaking his sin, though he repeatedly shed tears, he tried to kill David, very soon afterwards, Saul lifted up his voice, and wept, after one such episode, of attempted murder, he even promised his son Jonathan, as the Lord liveth, he shall not be slain, but as soon as King Saul got an invitation, from the Zephytes, he was pursuing David again, David was always dodging Saul's spear, there is no trust in such men, who hide behind religion, and live in a way of sin, if they live in ways of sin, they are yet dead in sin, and fall into the category, of the ungodly, they know nothing, of true biblical repentance, the Apostle Paul, states in 2 Corinthians 7 10, Godly sorrow, worketh repentance, unto salvation, not to be repented of, you are under a power, and that power, is the power of darkness, upon your soul, you are a slave to your sin friend, your trouble is, you just made a decision, and joined the church, without ever experiencing a work of grace, upon the heart, through regeneration, you must be born again, please don't stay religious and lost, in the days of Wesleyan Whitfield, the predominant ministry, was an unconverted ministry, men wore white collars, but they did not wear the robe of righteousness, through the new birth, George Whitfield cried out, against the unconverted ministry of his day, and he was felted, with rotten eggs, and rocks for it, but he also saw revival, on two continents, his main message was, you must be born again, when Whitfield was a student at Pembroke College, he was a member of John Wesley's Holy Club, where these religious young students, met on a regular basis, to have nights of fasting, Bible reading, and prayer, Whitfield even visited prisoners and widows, he gave alms, even denied himself decent food, and warm clothing, all in the name of his religion, but he, like John Wesley at the time, they were just lost religious folks, then he discovered, while reading a book, that his friend Charles Wesley loaned him, a little book written by the Scotsman Henry Schugle, and the title of that book friends was, The Life of God in the Soul of Man, while Whitfield read that book, the light came in, and flooded his soul, with the fact that to be saved meant, one had to experience God, to where the life of God was in the soul of man, this completely transformed George Whitfield's life, thrust him into a globe of tribal ministry, where his one theme was, he must be born again, and it was the fuel of the great awakening,.
