From Arcadia, California,
the Carter report presents
00:00:07.55\00:00:10.71
"The Living
Word" around the world.
00:00:10.74\00:00:12.79
This is a special
message for special friends
00:00:17.77\00:00:20.91
in the great land of
Australia, also in New Zealand.
00:00:20.94\00:00:25.44
I'm coming to Australia
for the Avondale Homecoming,
00:00:25.47\00:00:29.06
the last Sabbath of
August this year 2010.
00:00:29.09\00:00:34.16
I want to see you there.
00:00:34.19\00:00:35.73
We're going to
have a tremendous time.
00:00:35.76\00:00:38.79
I'll be there preaching the word
of God in the college church.
00:00:38.82\00:00:43.56
The last
Sabbath, Sabbath morning,
00:00:43.59\00:00:45.90
the last Sabbath of
August 2010. It's a homecoming.
00:00:45.93\00:00:51.58
People are coming
from all over Australia,
00:00:51.61\00:00:54.49
all over New Zealand,
00:00:54.52\00:00:55.89
in fact my friend
all over the world.
00:00:55.92\00:00:59.48
I haven't seen some of you
00:00:59.51\00:01:01.08
for 30 or 40,
dare I say 50 years.
00:01:01.11\00:01:07.05
I want to see you this
year at the Avondale Homecoming.
00:01:07.08\00:01:11.58
It is the last
Sabbath of August 2010.
00:01:11.61\00:01:15.70
I'll be
preaching the word of God
00:01:15.73\00:01:18.10
in the college church
and I want to see you there.
00:01:18.13\00:01:21.90
Then that same day
during the afternoon
00:01:21.93\00:01:24.85
right on 4 o'clock at
the Peace Memorial Church.
00:01:24.88\00:01:30.11
That is the great village church
at the gates of the college.
00:01:30.14\00:01:34.39
We're going to have a
great evangelism rally
00:01:34.42\00:01:38.01
and we want to see
you come there too.
00:01:38.04\00:01:39.70
I'm going to be
showing you pictures
00:01:39.73\00:01:41.86
of God's mighty
works of grace in China,
00:01:41.89\00:01:45.99
in Russia, in India,
and around the world.
00:01:46.02\00:01:50.45
That is at the
Peace Memorial Church,
00:01:50.48\00:01:53.44
the Avondale village church.
00:01:53.47\00:01:57.08
The last Sabbath of August 2010
00:01:57.11\00:02:00.31
and the time is 4
o'clock in the afternoon.
00:02:00.34\00:02:03.66
I'm looking
forward to seeing all of my
00:02:03.69\00:02:07.56
Aussie friends, everybody.
00:02:07.59\00:02:09.94
See me there and God bless you.
00:02:09.97\00:02:12.72
We're pleased to have with
us here today David Carter,
00:02:15.75\00:02:19.01
who is our
director of television.
00:02:19.04\00:02:23.01
David, you've just
come back from India.
00:02:23.04\00:02:26.10
How many times have you
been to that great land?
00:02:26.13\00:02:29.37
Now, that's a good question.
I think about eight times.
00:02:29.40\00:02:32.03
I'm not sure,
eight or nine times.
00:02:32.06\00:02:34.92
Is it a long way?
What's its like going to India?
00:02:34.95\00:02:39.10
Well, I wish it
was a bit closer.
00:02:39.13\00:02:41.45
It's about 25 hours
each way on the plane,
00:02:41.48\00:02:44.61
so its 50 hours fly time.
00:02:44.64\00:02:46.47
Yeah. And usually when
we go, we're not sitting up
00:02:46.50\00:02:50.26
in the front, we're sitting--
sitting down in the back.
00:02:50.29\00:02:53.00
Yeah, that's right.
00:02:53.03\00:02:54.40
How many people live in
this great land of Hinduism?
00:02:54.43\00:02:57.39
About 1.2 billion
people. And it's growing?
00:02:57.42\00:03:01.96
Yeah, it is
growing very rapidly.
00:03:01.99\00:03:03.93
In five years time India
will be bigger than China.
00:03:03.96\00:03:06.56
It will be the
largest country in the world.
00:03:06.59\00:03:08.29
That's about four
to five years time.
00:03:08.32\00:03:10.27
So it's a huge country.
00:03:10.30\00:03:12.86
Many of these people and--
and they number themselves,
00:03:12.89\00:03:18.44
sub group is,
is in the millions.
00:03:18.47\00:03:21.01
We're talking
about the untouchables.
00:03:21.04\00:03:23.14
How many untouchables
in the land of India?
00:03:23.17\00:03:26.94
Right, between 166
million and 200 million.
00:03:26.97\00:03:31.61
So that's over half
the population of America.
00:03:31.64\00:03:35.89
What on earth please
tell me is an untouchable?
00:03:35.92\00:03:39.67
We have a great
church here and you know,
00:03:39.70\00:03:42.59
this church here in Arcadia
is certainly a touchable church.
00:03:42.62\00:03:47.54
Everybody is
shaking hands or hugging.
00:03:47.57\00:03:50.49
Why are touchables not hugged?
00:03:50.52\00:03:54.98
Right well, in the--
in the Hindu caste system
00:03:55.01\00:03:58.63
you have these people
who have been ostracized and,
00:03:58.66\00:04:02.10
and literally
outcast from society,
00:04:02.13\00:04:04.65
because they do
all the menial jobs,
00:04:04.68\00:04:06.51
they do the jobs that
the higher castes won't do.
00:04:06.54\00:04:09.73
They think they're
dirty. They won't touch them.
00:04:09.76\00:04:11.36
They won't look at them.
00:04:11.39\00:04:12.76
They won't go
anywhere near them.
00:04:12.79\00:04:14.16
They're considered
to be lower than dogs
00:04:14.19\00:04:15.81
and hence the term slum dogs.
00:04:15.84\00:04:18.90
So a movie was made about this,
00:04:18.93\00:04:20.77
I think it was
called Slumdog Millionaire.
00:04:20.80\00:04:23.70
What did it--
what did it talk about?
00:04:23.73\00:04:26.47
Well, it portrayed how
these people live in the cities
00:04:26.50\00:04:31.02
and basically, you know,
00:04:31.05\00:04:32.44
how they--they are
treated lower than dogs.
00:04:32.47\00:04:35.47
I've been to India not
as many times as you have.
00:04:35.50\00:04:37.64
I've been there, I
think only three times
00:04:37.67\00:04:40.12
but I've seen the untouchables.
00:04:40.15\00:04:42.04
I've seen the dung ladies
carrying the dung on their heads
00:04:42.07\00:04:46.01
because nobody else is gonna
get dung on their heads. Right.
00:04:46.04\00:04:49.65
I've also seen them doing
the most degrading jobs. Yeah.
00:04:49.68\00:04:54.79
I'm also told David,
here in North America
00:04:54.82\00:04:58.18
by many well meaning people
00:04:58.21\00:05:00.53
that one religion
is as good as another.
00:05:00.56\00:05:03.60
Well, well I say, tell
that to the untouchables
00:05:03.63\00:05:07.33
and see, see what they think.
00:05:07.36\00:05:09.35
That I mean, to
me that is not true.
00:05:09.38\00:05:11.91
I mean, there's a
lot of good Hindus.
00:05:11.94\00:05:13.83
What I mean the Hindu
caste system has brought this
00:05:13.86\00:05:17.09
about and the only way
out of it is really accepting
00:05:17.12\00:05:20.10
the biblical
gospel and you know,
00:05:20.13\00:05:22.21
that's the only thing that can
00:05:22.24\00:05:23.61
get you out of
this, this wicked system.
00:05:23.64\00:05:26.03
How many castes are there?
Then, that's a good question.
00:05:26.06\00:05:30.97
There's thousands and
thousands, no one really knows.
00:05:31.00\00:05:34.16
I mean there could be
hundreds of thousands.
00:05:34.19\00:05:36.24
But I mean, its,
the in North America,
00:05:36.27\00:05:39.88
in Australia, in our countries
we're born as equal people.
00:05:39.91\00:05:43.22
In the Hindu system you're born,
you're unequal from day one.
00:05:43.25\00:05:47.95
And so if you're
unfortunate enough to be born
00:05:47.98\00:05:51.89
in the lower caste,
then you're an untouchable,
00:05:51.92\00:05:55.68
nobody will touch you. Right.
00:05:55.71\00:05:57.79
But the good news
is that Jesus will.
00:05:57.82\00:06:01.22
Well, that's right.
That's absolutely right.
00:06:01.25\00:06:03.40
Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:03.43\00:06:04.80
And so would you
say the Christianity--
00:06:04.83\00:06:08.17
the Christianity of the Bible
00:06:08.20\00:06:10.28
is the only religion
that lifts up these people?
00:06:10.31\00:06:12.99
Absolutely, 100 percent sure.
Yeah, absolutely, very true.
00:06:13.02\00:06:17.42
What were you doing there?
00:06:17.45\00:06:18.82
What is the Carter Report
trying to do in this vast land?
00:06:18.85\00:06:21.76
Right away, we
have a TV program there.
00:06:21.79\00:06:24.31
We're trying to get
that on more stations
00:06:24.34\00:06:26.25
and we're trying
to get, you know,
00:06:26.28\00:06:27.83
our program all over India.
00:06:27.86\00:06:29.68
So that's what
we're trying to do.
00:06:29.71\00:06:31.38
I know it's tough.
00:06:31.41\00:06:32.78
We've had lots of
problems and lots of opposition.
00:06:32.81\00:06:35.34
We're on Indian television,
are we getting any feedback?
00:06:35.37\00:06:39.75
Yeah, a huge amount of feedback.
00:06:39.78\00:06:41.97
People are asking
about you all the time.
00:06:42.00\00:06:43.95
They ask about
the Carter Report.
00:06:43.98\00:06:45.47
They want us to come back.
00:06:45.50\00:06:47.23
So yeah, we're getting--
we're getting a big response.
00:06:47.26\00:06:50.14
And so David, we have a policy
00:06:50.17\00:06:53.07
even though the
hill is tough and hard.
00:06:53.10\00:06:57.19
We're gonna keep
plugging, climbing up that hill.
00:06:57.22\00:07:00.06
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
Yeah, it is difficult.
00:07:00.09\00:07:03.09
It's taken us about
three years to get ready,
00:07:03.12\00:07:05.01
sit over there
with the government.
00:07:05.04\00:07:06.69
We've just
completed this process,
00:07:06.72\00:07:08.38
that's been a long
and arduous process.
00:07:08.41\00:07:10.33
It's been-- it
just about killed us.
00:07:10.36\00:07:12.86
But we've got it done
and we were very happy
00:07:12.89\00:07:14.77
about that and we
give glory to God for that.
00:07:14.80\00:07:17.76
And we would like to
say it to everybody watching
00:07:17.79\00:07:20.52
the telecast today
that there's no such person
00:07:20.55\00:07:24.59
as an untouchable with God,
because Jesus died for us all
00:07:24.62\00:07:29.50
and His arms are stretched
out to touch every one of us.
00:07:29.53\00:07:32.93
David, we thank you for the work
00:07:32.96\00:07:34.49
that you're doing
for the untouchables
00:07:34.52\00:07:36.86
and the Indian
people and God bless you.
00:07:36.89\00:07:39.45
Thank you. Thank you, very much.
00:07:39.48\00:07:41.00
My privilege. Thank you.
00:07:41.03\00:07:42.40
Thank you. Thank
you. Thank you. Thank you.
00:07:42.43\00:07:44.48
This is the second in
the series "This I Believe."
00:07:49.05\00:07:55.03
Today I believe in the
Ten Commandments. Amen.
00:07:55.06\00:08:01.47
Have you heard
of H.M.S. Richards?
00:08:01.50\00:08:04.50
He used to be the
speaker on Voice of Prophecy.
00:08:04.53\00:08:08.37
One of the
greatest preachers that this
00:08:08.40\00:08:10.92
whole world has ever seen.
00:08:10.95\00:08:13.10
He touched my
life in a powerful way.
00:08:13.13\00:08:16.95
I read through his
book time after time,
00:08:16.98\00:08:19.64
"Feed My Sheep"
helped me to realize
00:08:19.67\00:08:21.95
what a preacher ought to be.
00:08:21.98\00:08:24.89
When he was a
little boy he was always,
00:08:24.92\00:08:28.47
like a lot of other little boys,
00:08:28.50\00:08:30.71
always teasing his younger
brother, always teasing him.
00:08:30.74\00:08:35.62
You wouldn't think that
this old saint would have had
00:08:35.65\00:08:37.94
that capacity as a little boy.
00:08:37.97\00:08:40.01
He's teasing his little
brother and his little brother
00:08:40.04\00:08:42.35
used to throw tantrums
and throw himself on the floor
00:08:42.38\00:08:45.14
and be
screaming, kicking his feet.
00:08:45.17\00:08:49.47
H.M.S. had a beautiful mother.
I've seen pictures of her.
00:08:49.50\00:08:53.51
Beautiful, beautiful girl.
00:08:53.54\00:08:55.90
She said, Harold,
you got to stop this.
00:08:55.93\00:08:59.10
You're driving your brother
00:08:59.13\00:09:00.50
crazy literally,
let us stop this.
00:09:00.53\00:09:02.87
Therefore as your
mother I tell you,
00:09:02.90\00:09:05.97
you got to stop this.
00:09:06.00\00:09:07.92
He said, oh, I'll
stop mother if you tell me.
00:09:07.95\00:09:11.91
But little boys are little boys.
00:09:11.94\00:09:14.79
He wasn't such a
little boy either.
00:09:14.82\00:09:18.01
As soon his
brother screaming again
00:09:18.04\00:09:22.96
and his mother
said to him Harold,
00:09:22.99\00:09:24.69
she sat him down she
said, now this is serious.
00:09:24.72\00:09:28.28
She said, it appears that I
must be a failure as a mother.
00:09:28.31\00:09:34.78
Any of you mothers
ever felt that way?
00:09:34.81\00:09:37.96
I feel that I've been
a failure as a mother,
00:09:37.99\00:09:41.08
because if I
were a better mother
00:09:41.11\00:09:42.72
you wouldn't be like this.
00:09:42.75\00:09:45.01
Therefore, the next time
you do it I'm not gonna beat you
00:09:45.04\00:09:48.58
because that
doesn't seem to work,
00:09:48.61\00:09:50.41
you're gonna beat me.
00:09:50.44\00:09:53.00
It's quite a story.
00:09:53.03\00:09:54.41
I heard H.M.S.
Richards tell the story
00:09:54.44\00:09:56.44
to Avondale
College 50 years ago.
00:09:56.47\00:10:00.15
When he preached the
sermon, "The Unsparing God,"
00:10:00.18\00:10:03.34
probably the best sermon
I had ever heard in my life,
00:10:03.37\00:10:06.93
up to that time and since then.
00:10:06.96\00:10:11.32
He told his great
story, just moved upon my soul.
00:10:11.35\00:10:15.58
And he said, mother,
I can never beat you.
00:10:15.61\00:10:17.99
Well, she said, if
you could never beat me
00:10:18.02\00:10:19.94
stop doing what you're doing.
00:10:19.97\00:10:22.53
I speak on behalf
of God as your mother.
00:10:22.56\00:10:26.19
I'm the law,
you got to stop this
00:10:26.22\00:10:29.72
or else you have to beat me.
00:10:29.75\00:10:32.17
So he made the
promise, mother, I will never,
00:10:32.20\00:10:34.35
never, ever do it again.
00:10:34.38\00:10:36.20
But the words of promise
were scarcely out of his mouth
00:10:36.23\00:10:40.19
when his little
brother was screaming.
00:10:40.22\00:10:43.80
H.M.S. Richards told a story,
00:10:43.83\00:10:46.01
heard him tell it
in the Avondale Church.
00:10:46.04\00:10:52.32
She called him into
her bedroom and she said,
00:10:52.35\00:10:55.41
Harold I want you to
go down back of the house
00:10:55.44\00:10:59.22
down to the creek and get
one of those big bulrushes.
00:10:59.25\00:11:04.77
These big reeds.
These tough reeds.
00:11:04.80\00:11:11.50
And bring it back to
me and give me a beating.
00:11:11.53\00:11:14.92
He said, I could
never do that, mama.
00:11:14.95\00:11:17.04
She said, well, you go do
it because I'm your mother.
00:11:17.07\00:11:21.32
Just go do it. So he went down
00:11:21.35\00:11:24.55
and tells the story and he came
with one this long, you know.
00:11:24.58\00:11:30.64
She's sending
back time after time
00:11:30.67\00:11:32.96
until he came
back with a big thing,
00:11:32.99\00:11:35.24
solid, thick, and hard.
00:11:35.27\00:11:40.55
And he told the story
in the Avondale Church
00:11:40.58\00:11:43.08
that I'll never, never forget.
00:11:43.11\00:11:45.21
Then she took him
her boy into the bedroom
00:11:45.24\00:11:51.07
and she bared her shoulders.
00:11:51.10\00:11:54.09
Pulled the dress
down, bared the shoulders.
00:11:54.12\00:11:56.62
Bent over the bed and
said, Harold, beat me.
00:11:56.65\00:12:02.16
And Harold Richards, H.M.S.
said, he lifted up the rod
00:12:02.19\00:12:05.77
and tried to
bring it down across
00:12:05.80\00:12:07.19
his mother's bare
back and he couldn't do it.
00:12:07.22\00:12:10.54
But she said Harold,
while you're this age
00:12:10.57\00:12:16.27
I stand in the place
of God for you. Beat me.
00:12:16.30\00:12:22.03
His hand
trembled, he tried to do it.
00:12:22.06\00:12:25.17
But after a while
he just broke down
00:12:25.20\00:12:27.25
and he was
sobbing uncontrollably.
00:12:27.28\00:12:31.11
And H.M.S. told the
story that she took this boy
00:12:31.14\00:12:34.91
and set him down
on the bed next to her
00:12:34.94\00:12:39.99
and told him the
story of the gospel.
00:12:40.02\00:12:44.55
How the innocent was
beaten by the guilty,
00:12:44.58\00:12:50.87
for the guilty, with the
guilty, to bring us to God.
00:12:50.90\00:12:58.77
Never forget it. There would be
00:12:58.80\00:13:02.38
no beating if there were no law.
00:13:02.41\00:13:06.58
My topic today
is "This I believe."
00:13:10.02\00:13:15.34
I believe in the
Ten Commandments,
00:13:15.37\00:13:19.76
the moral law of God.
00:13:19.79\00:13:22.57
I want you to take
your Bible just now
00:13:22.60\00:13:24.35
and I want you to
turn to the theme text
00:13:24.38\00:13:27.60
that some of you
will find quite unusual.
00:13:27.63\00:13:31.10
I want you to come over here
to Galatians 3:10 and onwards.
00:13:31.13\00:13:36.55
Because this book is used
by our theological opponents
00:13:36.58\00:13:41.49
to say that the Ten
Commands are abolished.
00:13:41.52\00:13:45.44
I want you to
come to Galatians 3:10
00:13:45.47\00:13:49.97
and onwards my dear, friends.
00:13:50.00\00:13:54.17
Galatians 3:10 and onwards.
00:13:54.20\00:13:57.11
"All who rely on
observing the law
00:13:57.14\00:14:01.18
are under a
curse, for it is written,
00:14:01.21\00:14:05.63
'Cursed is everyone
who does not continue
00:14:05.66\00:14:07.79
to do everything
written in the Book of the Law.'
00:14:07.82\00:14:10.86
Clearly no one is justified
before God by the law, because,
00:14:10.89\00:14:16.84
'The righteous
will live by faith.'
00:14:16.87\00:14:20.21
The law is not based
on faith, on the contrary,
00:14:20.24\00:14:23.82
'The man who does these
things will live by them.'"
00:14:23.85\00:14:26.80
So look at me. Let
me tell you something.
00:14:26.83\00:14:28.81
The Bible says, you
can't be saved by the law.
00:14:28.84\00:14:31.45
Did you hear this?
00:14:31.48\00:14:33.67
The Bible says, you and I can't
be saved by being good enough.
00:14:33.70\00:14:38.38
We can't be saved by
keeping the commandments.
00:14:38.41\00:14:41.35
The Bible says,
that every person
00:14:41.38\00:14:43.62
who depends upon the law
for salvation is under a curse.
00:14:43.65\00:14:49.55
I want you to know this.
00:14:49.58\00:14:52.06
That's what the Bible
says, I cannot be saved
00:14:52.09\00:14:55.37
by my good works even
done with the help of God.
00:14:55.40\00:15:00.19
Verse 13 says,
"Christ" now here is the theme.
00:15:00.22\00:15:04.59
This is the chief text.
00:15:04.62\00:15:06.32
"Christ redeemed us
from the curse of the law
00:15:06.35\00:15:10.81
by becoming a curse
for us, for it is written,
00:15:10.84\00:15:15.07
'Cursed is everyone
who is hung on a tree.'"
00:15:15.10\00:15:18.68
You folks listening today? Amen.
00:15:18.71\00:15:22.57
Christ redeemed us
from the curse of the law
00:15:22.60\00:15:26.50
by becoming a curse for us.
00:15:26.53\00:15:28.56
But listen to me,
if there were no law,
00:15:28.59\00:15:31.57
there would be no curse.
00:15:31.60\00:15:35.47
The curse fell upon
Christ on the cross not because
00:15:35.50\00:15:40.42
there was no law, but
because there was the law.
00:15:40.45\00:15:46.67
No law, no curse,
no Calvary, no gospel.
00:15:46.70\00:15:54.43
The Bible says, Christ redeemed
us from the curse of the law.
00:15:54.46\00:16:00.49
Listen carefully.I said again,
00:16:00.52\00:16:03.83
no law, no curse, no cross.
00:16:03.86\00:16:10.34
Because of Christ's death
the law of God is established
00:16:10.37\00:16:17.53
more firmly then if every
person had kept it perfectly
00:16:17.56\00:16:22.32
then if no one had ever sinned.
00:16:22.35\00:16:27.71
Do you get this?
Anybody listening out there?
00:16:27.74\00:16:29.94
You folk's, can I
have a little feedback.
00:16:29.97\00:16:31.97
Do you hear what
I'm saying today?
00:16:32.00\00:16:33.94
Yeah. If there was no law,
let me write it up, my friend.
00:16:33.97\00:16:38.10
No law-- if there is no law,
00:16:38.13\00:16:41.90
the Bible says
there is no curse.
00:16:41.93\00:16:45.86
And we know that
Christ was cursed
00:16:45.89\00:16:48.56
for us because there is a law.
00:16:48.59\00:16:52.75
And the law,
the moral law of God
00:16:52.78\00:16:55.80
is established more firmly
today than if every person
00:16:55.83\00:17:01.99
since the beginning of time had
kept the law of God perfectly.
00:17:02.02\00:17:09.46
Christ died because the law
demanded payment and justice.
00:17:09.49\00:17:17.43
Now, Calvary tells
me three great truths.
00:17:19.34\00:17:22.48
It tells us many truths,
but three come to my mind.
00:17:22.51\00:17:25.78
Number one, the cross of Christ
00:17:25.81\00:17:27.67
tells me that
God loves you and me.
00:17:27.70\00:17:31.26
Never doubt His love.
There's a great song about that.
00:17:31.29\00:17:36.30
Have you ever doubted
His love when you're down
00:17:36.33\00:17:39.57
and you feel beaten up?
00:17:39.60\00:17:41.72
Don't you sometimes
feel down and beaten up?
00:17:41.75\00:17:44.95
I do. When the heaven
seem to be led over your head
00:17:44.98\00:17:50.98
and the earth is
brass onto your feet.
00:17:51.01\00:17:53.37
Never doubt His
love, He loves you.
00:17:53.40\00:17:57.47
The cross of Calvary
is God's greatest argument
00:17:57.50\00:18:01.34
that God loves
you. He cares for you.
00:18:01.37\00:18:03.81
He thinks about
you. He feels for you.
00:18:03.84\00:18:08.44
Number one, God loves you.
00:18:08.47\00:18:11.69
Number two, this
is a great truth.
00:18:11.72\00:18:14.07
God in Christ
made a blood atonement
00:18:14.10\00:18:18.30
for the sins of the world.
00:18:18.33\00:18:21.61
Come over here to Hebrews
9:22, 27. The Book of Hebrews.
00:18:21.64\00:18:28.54
Want you to turn to this great
book on the sacrifice of Christ.
00:18:28.57\00:18:33.26
Hebrews 9:22. Jesus my friend,
00:18:33.29\00:18:37.23
was not a martyr,
Jesus was a sacrifice.
00:18:37.26\00:18:41.76
Hebrews 9:22,
please turn to the text.
00:18:41.79\00:18:46.47
"In fact, the law
requires that nearly everything
00:18:46.50\00:18:50.36
be cleansed with blood,
and without the shedding
00:18:50.39\00:18:54.90
of blood there
is no forgiveness."
00:18:54.93\00:18:59.26
If you come now to verse 27,
00:18:59.29\00:19:01.01
"Just as man is
destined to die once,
00:19:01.04\00:19:04.74
and after that to face judgment,
00:19:04.77\00:19:07.24
so Christ was
sacrificed once to take away
00:19:07.27\00:19:11.73
the sins of many people,
00:19:11.76\00:19:14.53
and he will
appear a second time,
00:19:14.56\00:19:16.29
not to bear sin,
but to bring salvation
00:19:16.32\00:19:19.62
to those who are
waiting for him."
00:19:19.65\00:19:23.18
I want every person watching
the telecast to know that
00:19:23.21\00:19:27.06
this church we
believe in the atoning
00:19:27.09\00:19:31.27
sacrifice of
Christ on the cross.
00:19:31.30\00:19:35.66
And He was sacrificed the
Bible says, because of sin.
00:19:35.69\00:19:41.13
Are we going to see today
00:19:41.16\00:19:42.53
sin is breaking
the moral law of God?
00:19:42.56\00:19:48.70
So Calvary
tells me God loves me.
00:19:48.73\00:19:53.51
If I'm a black person and I'm
ostracized in a white community.
00:19:53.54\00:19:59.69
If I'm--God
loves me, God loves me.
00:19:59.72\00:20:04.64
If I'm a white person
living in some part of the world
00:20:04.67\00:20:08.58
where white people
are hated, God loves me.
00:20:08.61\00:20:13.15
We were talking today
about the untouchables.
00:20:13.18\00:20:16.05
Millions and millions of
untouchables, God loves them.
00:20:16.08\00:20:21.68
Amen. He loves you.
00:20:21.71\00:20:24.96
And Christ made a
perfect atoning sacrifice
00:20:24.99\00:20:27.67
for the sins of the
world, that's the second truth.
00:20:27.70\00:20:31.04
And the third
truth is this, God's law,
00:20:31.07\00:20:34.54
moral law cannot
be abolished. Amen.
00:20:34.57\00:20:40.23
God's moral law enshrined
00:20:40.26\00:20:43.62
in the Ten Commandments
cannot be abolished.
00:20:43.65\00:20:47.59
If they could have been
there would not have been
00:20:47.62\00:20:50.77
a bleeding sacrifice
on the cross of Calvary.
00:20:50.80\00:20:56.84
I want you to come
over here with me please
00:20:56.87\00:20:59.46
to First John
3:4, First John 3:4
00:20:59.49\00:21:06.21
written by John,
the beloved disciple.
00:21:06.24\00:21:09.81
First John 3:4. The Bible says
00:21:09.84\00:21:14.57
"Everyone who
sins breaks the law."
00:21:14.60\00:21:18.70
Listen, look at me please.
00:21:18.73\00:21:20.58
If a moral love
of God is abolished,
00:21:20.61\00:21:23.64
then you would
have no sin. Amen.
00:21:23.67\00:21:27.17
Avoid with this
superficial new theology.
00:21:27.20\00:21:32.00
The Bible says,
"Everyone who sins
00:21:32.03\00:21:34.51
breaks the law, in
fact, sin is lawlessness."
00:21:34.54\00:21:39.97
Sin it says in the KJV.
00:21:40.00\00:21:42.32
Sin is the transgression of
the Lord. A good translation.
00:21:42.35\00:21:46.69
Come over here to
Romans Chapter 7:7. Romans 7:7.
00:21:46.72\00:21:54.27
In the holy word of
God and I'm glad to see
00:21:54.30\00:21:56.61
you folks here today in church.
00:21:56.64\00:21:58.09
Romans 7:7. The Bible says,
00:21:58.12\00:22:01.55
"What shall we say, then?
Is the law sin? Certainly not!
00:22:01.58\00:22:05.51
Indeed I would not
have known what sin
00:22:05.54\00:22:08.30
was except through the law.
00:22:08.33\00:22:10.98
For I would not
have known what coveting
00:22:11.01\00:22:13.74
really was if the law had
not said, 'Do not covet.'"
00:22:13.77\00:22:18.31
And there the Apostle Paul
is quoting the Ten Commandments.
00:22:18.34\00:22:24.36
So follow my reasoning.
00:22:24.39\00:22:29.60
If there is no moral law
00:22:29.63\00:22:35.47
then there is no sin
00:22:35.50\00:22:38.76
and if there is
no sin my friend,
00:22:38.79\00:22:41.72
if there is no
law, there is no curse
00:22:41.75\00:22:45.03
and there is no
Calvary, and there is no gospel,
00:22:45.06\00:22:48.96
and there is no salvation.
00:22:48.99\00:22:50.92
I have with me
today seven small angels
00:22:54.50\00:23:00.14
who are now going to
come up on the stage.
00:23:00.17\00:23:03.47
And together we
are going to illustrate
00:23:03.50\00:23:06.32
the truth of the gospel.
00:23:06.35\00:23:08.24
Well, they please come now.
00:23:08.27\00:23:10.97
My seven
delightful small angels.
00:23:11.00\00:23:15.46
But that's not what their
mother's always call them.
00:23:15.49\00:23:19.11
Here they come.
Oh, you look so nice.
00:23:19.14\00:23:24.74
You look so nice. Now I think
we're going to do something.
00:23:24.77\00:23:28.00
We're going to move
you all over here because
00:23:28.03\00:23:33.47
I don't want anybody to
be lost behind the desk.
00:23:33.50\00:23:37.59
Come in close,
close, close, close.
00:23:37.62\00:23:41.52
Oh, dear, well what
am I going to do now?
00:23:41.55\00:23:46.52
I'll just have to
hold you up in the air.
00:23:46.55\00:23:50.06
Now there we have them,
00:23:50.09\00:23:51.81
seven beautiful
children from our church.
00:23:51.84\00:23:56.00
Now, I want to--no, I
think we can come over
00:23:56.03\00:23:59.08
just a little bit further there.
00:23:59.11\00:24:03.35
Here, you are. This is
Juliana. How are you, Juliana?
00:24:03.38\00:24:08.05
Good. Okay. All right.
00:24:08.08\00:24:13.35
Here he comes. Okay.
00:24:13.38\00:24:15.92
Now we're going to start
with this young man here.
00:24:15.95\00:24:19.81
His name is Jack.
You know, this is Jack.
00:24:19.84\00:24:23.65
Say hello, Jack. Hi, Jack.
00:24:23.68\00:24:25.09
Yeah, this is Jack
and this is Helene.
00:24:25.12\00:24:28.10
This is Matthew and this is E.J.
00:24:28.13\00:24:30.44
and this is
Juliana and this is Baron
00:24:30.47\00:24:34.60
and this one here and I
get to blow her hair is Mary.
00:24:34.63\00:24:40.20
Now these children have
got special names, okay.
00:24:40.23\00:24:45.58
I want to teach you their
names and we are going to see
00:24:45.61\00:24:49.43
how these children
are going to teach us
00:24:49.46\00:24:53.63
the truths of the gospel.
00:24:53.66\00:24:55.41
Now this girl's
name is Law. Say it. Law.
00:24:55.44\00:24:59.86
When I touch their heads
you should say their Bible name.
00:24:59.89\00:25:03.47
This is Law. This is Law.
00:25:03.50\00:25:06.93
And the Bible tells me that sin.
This is Sin. His name is Sin.
00:25:06.96\00:25:14.81
And sin is the
transgression of the?
00:25:14.84\00:25:18.75
Law. You're doing very well.
00:25:18.78\00:25:21.15
And because of
sin, we need a Savior.
00:25:21.18\00:25:26.44
What's her name?
Savior. Savior. Savior.
00:25:26.47\00:25:31.41
Yeah, and this one's? Law.
00:25:31.44\00:25:33.02
Yeah. Law, Savior, Sin.
00:25:33.05\00:25:37.59
Oh, you're doing so well.
00:25:37.62\00:25:40.45
Now this boy's
name, EJ's name is Gospel.
00:25:40.48\00:25:45.39
Gospel. Gospel.
Gospel means good news.
00:25:45.42\00:25:50.22
And Matthew's
name today is Grace.
00:25:50.25\00:25:54.53
Grace. Grace. Law. Sin.
00:25:54.56\00:25:59.96
Savior. Gospel. Grace.
00:25:59.99\00:26:03.74
One hundred out of a hundred.
00:26:03.77\00:26:05.55
Now Helene's name
is Church. Church.
00:26:05.58\00:26:10.57
We come together as a church.
00:26:10.60\00:26:12.85
God has raised up the
church and God has raised up
00:26:12.88\00:26:16.19
the church to
tell people about the?
00:26:16.22\00:26:19.96
Savior. And the
Savior came preaching the?
00:26:19.99\00:26:23.33
Gospel. The gospel,
which is the story of God's?
00:26:23.36\00:26:27.62
Grace. And grace is
how God's saves us from?
00:26:27.65\00:26:32.08
Sin. Which is
breaking God's? Law.
00:26:32.11\00:26:35.27
Now if there were no
law, there would be no?
00:26:35.30\00:26:39.33
Sin. Yeah.
00:26:39.36\00:26:40.73
Now the church
employs the preacher.
00:26:40.76\00:26:46.46
Preacher. So Jack's name is?
00:26:46.49\00:26:48.98
Preacher. And so it is
the work of the preacher.
00:26:49.01\00:26:53.85
He looks after the? Church.
00:26:53.88\00:26:56.57
And he has a great
responsibility. The...
00:26:56.60\00:27:00.98
Preacher.
...tells people about the?
00:27:01.01\00:27:03.96
Savior. Who came preaching the?
00:27:03.99\00:27:07.29
Gospel. Which is the story of?
00:27:07.32\00:27:09.95
Grace. Which tells me
how God saves us from?
00:27:09.98\00:27:13.65
Sin. Which is breaking God's?
00:27:13.68\00:27:16.11
Law. Now my friends,
00:27:16.14\00:27:18.28
are you all with
me? If there is no?
00:27:18.31\00:27:23.43
Law. There would be no?
00:27:23.46\00:27:25.31
Sin. And we certainly
would not need to have the?
00:27:25.34\00:27:28.93
Preacher. Because we
would have to close down the?
00:27:28.96\00:27:32.24
Church. And what
would we do without?
00:27:32.27\00:27:35.44
Grace. Because
there would be no?
00:27:35.47\00:27:37.89
Gospel. And we
wouldn't need the? Savior.
00:27:37.92\00:27:41.55
Now today in
the world everywhere
00:27:41.58\00:27:45.95
preachers with a new theology,
00:27:45.98\00:27:48.09
it's not what the old
churches used to teach.
00:27:48.12\00:27:50.50
No, no, no.
This is a new heresy.
00:27:50.53\00:27:54.15
But people believe it because
it's convenient to believe it.
00:27:54.18\00:27:57.45
People are saying
the law is abolished.
00:27:57.48\00:28:01.68
And so what we're going to do?
00:28:01.71\00:28:03.24
We're going to do
what they tell us to do
00:28:03.27\00:28:05.45
and we'll get rid of the? Law.
00:28:05.48\00:28:07.86
And if there is no
law there is no? Sin.
00:28:07.89\00:28:11.72
So if there's no sin
we do not need? Savior.
00:28:11.75\00:28:15.23
We don't need a Savior.
00:28:15.26\00:28:16.63
And if there's no
Savior, there is no? Gospel.
00:28:16.66\00:28:19.63
And if there's no
gospel, there is no? Grace.
00:28:19.66\00:28:22.60
No grace. And if
there's no grace,
00:28:22.63\00:28:25.18
we may as well
close down the? Church.
00:28:25.21\00:28:28.75
And sack the?
Preacher. Sack the preacher.
00:28:28.78\00:28:32.73
Now folks, out of
the mouths of babes.
00:28:35.95\00:28:42.85
I want to tell
you, folks, something.
00:28:42.88\00:28:44.25
I want this to get down
into the molecules of your mind.
00:28:44.28\00:28:49.27
I get letters on occasions
from the telecast because
00:28:49.30\00:28:52.56
I believe in the
Ten Commandments.
00:28:52.59\00:28:54.67
And they say to
me, don't you know
00:28:54.70\00:28:56.47
the Ten Commandments
were nailed to the cross?
00:28:56.50\00:29:01.92
This was never, never in history
00:29:01.95\00:29:06.47
taught by the
great churches including
00:29:06.50\00:29:10.02
the Roman Catholic
Church, the Baptist Church,
00:29:10.05\00:29:12.39
the Presbyterian
Church, Methodist Church,
00:29:12.42\00:29:14.81
the Church of England.
00:29:14.84\00:29:16.21
They have all taught
the commandments of God.
00:29:16.24\00:29:20.65
But today there's a new
heresy abroad in the land
00:29:20.68\00:29:26.20
and this heresy
has caused controversy
00:29:26.23\00:29:30.85
and confusion in Christendom.
00:29:30.88\00:29:33.98
And I want to say this,
this new theology that says
00:29:34.01\00:29:38.93
that the moral law of
God is abolished has opened
00:29:38.96\00:29:45.22
the flood gates of
inequity upon the world.
00:29:45.25\00:29:50.54
You wonder why things are
getting worse in the world.
00:29:50.57\00:29:55.93
You wonder why
people lie so much.
00:29:55.96\00:30:01.01
You wonder why?
00:30:01.04\00:30:02.71
You wonder why people
steal with their taxes.
00:30:02.74\00:30:09.77
And why people, if I run
into you in the parking lot,
00:30:09.80\00:30:13.83
don't put their name on
a card on your windshield,
00:30:13.86\00:30:19.08
is because they have
been taught the dreadful lie
00:30:19.11\00:30:24.39
that comes from the devil
that the moral law is gone.
00:30:24.42\00:30:31.97
This doctrine when
accepted destroys the home,
00:30:32.00\00:30:37.18
the nation and the church.
00:30:37.21\00:30:42.74
Now I'm gonna show
you something today
00:30:42.77\00:30:47.70
which generally has not
been used in North America.
00:30:47.73\00:30:51.59
It's a little bit of theology.
00:30:55.52\00:30:57.03
It's not hard to understand.
00:30:57.06\00:30:59.95
You need to think it's true.
00:30:59.98\00:31:02.19
I'm gonna tell
you little history.
00:31:02.22\00:31:04.65
Our churches had
some great pastors.
00:31:04.68\00:31:07.81
One of the great pastors
was an old pastor in Australia
00:31:07.84\00:31:11.92
about 6'4'', big rugged
man Pastor W. M. R. Scragg.
00:31:11.95\00:31:19.88
Not only was he a
pastor and a church leader,
00:31:19.91\00:31:23.06
but he was a
gardener and everything else.
00:31:23.09\00:31:28.06
I first got to
know Pastor Scragg
00:31:28.09\00:31:30.46
when I was riding my
Harley-Davidson motorbike
00:31:30.49\00:31:34.37
into the town where he lived.
00:31:34.40\00:31:36.72
The town of Young in
South, New South Wales,
00:31:36.75\00:31:41.29
it was wet and cold.
00:31:41.32\00:31:43.83
And I was looking for
the home of a certain person
00:31:43.86\00:31:47.94
and I was riding my big Harley.
00:31:47.97\00:31:52.68
And a car just
pulled out from a shop
00:31:52.71\00:31:55.30
and I pulled up beside the car,
00:31:55.33\00:31:57.44
the bike going boom, boom, boom,
00:31:57.47\00:31:59.02
had a leather
coat on leather cap.
00:31:59.05\00:32:01.57
And this man put his
head out of window and said,
00:32:01.60\00:32:04.20
"Officer, I'm sorry
what did I do this time."
00:32:04.23\00:32:08.98
Oh, I said,
"I'm not an officer."
00:32:09.01\00:32:11.51
He said, "What do you want?"
00:32:11.54\00:32:13.26
I said, "I'm looking
for Pastor W. M. R. Scragg."
00:32:13.29\00:32:17.89
He said, "That's me."
00:32:17.92\00:32:21.01
That's when I
first met Pastor Scragg.
00:32:21.04\00:32:25.87
Many years ago,
there were preachers
00:32:25.90\00:32:28.75
going around
the land down under,
00:32:28.78\00:32:33.46
doing a tremendous work of
confusion, holding debates.
00:32:33.49\00:32:40.17
Thousands of people
attended these debates.
00:32:40.20\00:32:44.39
And they were led by a--
particularly successful debater.
00:32:44.42\00:32:49.84
And he loved to
tear preachers apart
00:32:49.87\00:32:53.41
who believed in
the Ten Commandments.
00:32:53.44\00:32:56.70
And he had tremendous
success because with debate
00:32:56.73\00:33:03.03
there is usually
more heat than light.
00:33:03.06\00:33:07.20
And the debate is
often won not by the man
00:33:07.23\00:33:09.75
with the truth, but
by the most cunning man.
00:33:09.78\00:33:13.80
And this man was
choking up many victories
00:33:13.83\00:33:17.76
until he meet
Pastor W. M. R. Scragg.
00:33:17.79\00:33:23.22
And I'm going to
show you the argument
00:33:23.25\00:33:26.34
that slew the
dragon of antinomianism,
00:33:26.37\00:33:32.97
it's called the
Law and the Testimony,
00:33:33.00\00:33:36.86
two Hebrew
words, Torah and Eduth.
00:33:36.89\00:33:40.40
As somewhat
irreverent young ministers
00:33:40.43\00:33:42.82
we called it Torah and Edith,
00:33:42.85\00:33:45.36
but it was
actually Torah and Eduth.
00:33:45.39\00:33:51.84
Get ready, come with me
in the Bible, Exodus 31:18.
00:33:51.87\00:33:56.93
I can give you much
but you must see this.
00:33:56.96\00:33:59.26
I can give you a lot of stuff.
00:33:59.29\00:34:03.47
I can give you much.
00:34:03.50\00:34:06.45
Exodus 31, but we
don't have time Exodus 31:18,
00:34:06.48\00:34:10.46
"When the Lord finished speaking
to Moses on Mount Sinai,
00:34:10.49\00:34:14.44
he gave him the two
tablets of the Testimony,
00:34:14.47\00:34:17.71
the tablets of stone
inscribed by the finger of God."
00:34:17.74\00:34:20.84
God gave to the
Ten Commandments,
00:34:20.87\00:34:23.37
a special name and
most of us have been
00:34:23.40\00:34:28.09
oblivious to
this fact Testimony.
00:34:28.12\00:34:31.34
I am now going to
appeal to those people
00:34:31.37\00:34:34.23
who are watching the telecast,
00:34:34.26\00:34:36.11
who say, we're save
from the Ten Commandments
00:34:36.14\00:34:40.24
that the
commandments are abolished.
00:34:40.27\00:34:41.82
Exodus 30:6, you
have to come fast.
00:34:41.85\00:34:45.70
"Put the altar in
front of the curtain
00:34:45.73\00:34:47.32
that is before the
ark of the Testimony--
00:34:47.35\00:34:51.08
before the atonement cover
that is over the Testimony--
00:34:51.11\00:34:55.02
where I will meet with you."
00:34:55.05\00:34:56.42
Exodus 25:16, 22.
Exodus 25:16 and 22,
00:34:56.45\00:35:01.58
"Then put in the
ark the Testimony,
00:35:01.61\00:35:04.91
which I will give you."
00:35:04.94\00:35:06.44
Verse 22 "There, above the
cover between the two cherubim
00:35:06.47\00:35:10.65
that are over the
ark of the Testimony,
00:35:10.68\00:35:14.41
I will meet with
you..." the Testimony.
00:35:14.44\00:35:16.63
Come now to Exodus 32:15 and 16.
00:35:16.66\00:35:20.85
Exodus 32, please
turn to the text 15 and 16.
00:35:20.88\00:35:25.41
"Moses turned and
went down the mountain
00:35:25.44\00:35:27.85
with the two tablets of
the Testimony in his hands.
00:35:27.88\00:35:31.51
They were inscribed on
both sides, front and back.
00:35:31.54\00:35:34.35
The tablets
were the work of God,
00:35:34.38\00:35:35.93
the writing was the writing of
God, engraved on the tablets."
00:35:35.96\00:35:41.44
The Bible says, that
God gave a special name
00:35:41.47\00:35:45.44
to the Ten
Commandments, the Eduth.
00:35:45.47\00:35:49.08
He called those
Ten Commandments.
00:35:49.11\00:35:50.68
He didn't call them the law.
00:35:50.71\00:35:52.50
No, He didn't call them
the law in this instance.
00:35:52.53\00:35:57.13
He called them by
a very special name,
00:35:57.16\00:36:00.08
He called the Ten
Commandments the Testimony.
00:36:00.11\00:36:03.45
Now if you come
to Exodus 34:28-29.
00:36:03.48\00:36:06.88
Exodus 34:28 and 29,
00:36:06.91\00:36:12.21
"Moses was there with the
Lord forty days and forty nights
00:36:12.24\00:36:14.97
without eating
bread or drinking water.
00:36:15.00\00:36:16.90
And he wrote on the tablets
the words of the covenant--
00:36:16.93\00:36:20.59
the Ten Commandments.
00:36:20.62\00:36:22.58
When Moses came
down from Mount Sinai
00:36:22.61\00:36:24.91
with the two tablets of
the Testimony in his hands..."
00:36:24.94\00:36:29.03
Listen, this is
pretty important,
00:36:29.06\00:36:32.80
if you get this, this is going
to save you from deception.
00:36:32.83\00:36:38.35
The children of Israel
were given a sanctuary.
00:36:38.38\00:36:41.96
God said, "Let them
make Me a sanctuary,
00:36:41.99\00:36:45.20
so I can dwell among them."
00:36:45.23\00:36:46.74
And so you had the big courtyard
00:36:46.77\00:36:49.28
and then you had
the sanctuary proper,
00:36:49.31\00:36:52.92
out here you have the
altar of burnt offering
00:36:52.95\00:36:55.51
and the sinner
would bring an offering,
00:36:55.54\00:36:58.42
sometimes a
bull, sometimes a lamb
00:36:58.45\00:37:03.27
and this was a blood
atonement, a blood sacrifice.
00:37:03.30\00:37:08.15
The sanctuary proper
was divided into two places,
00:37:08.18\00:37:11.41
the holy place that
had the table of showbread.
00:37:11.44\00:37:14.97
You know, when the
showbread was changed,
00:37:15.00\00:37:18.06
you know, when the people got
fresh showbread on the Sabbath.
00:37:18.09\00:37:22.89
You know, what that teaches,
00:37:22.92\00:37:25.02
you get fresh
bread on the Sabbath.
00:37:25.05\00:37:28.04
You say, I don't
need to go to church.
00:37:28.07\00:37:29.95
Well, you're just gonna be
stuck with stale old bread.
00:37:29.98\00:37:34.98
The showbread was
changed every Sabbath.
00:37:35.01\00:37:38.31
The reason that
people are starving to death
00:37:38.34\00:37:41.27
right here in so
called Christian America
00:37:41.30\00:37:45.73
is that they've
given up the Sabbath.
00:37:45.76\00:37:48.56
They don't go to church anymore.
00:37:48.59\00:37:51.64
But the showbread was right
here, the loaves of showbread.
00:37:51.67\00:37:54.61
Then you had the
seven golden candlesticks
00:37:54.64\00:37:57.60
and then you had
the altar of incense.
00:37:57.63\00:37:59.50
But in the most holy place,
00:37:59.53\00:38:04.67
you had the Ark of the Covenant.
00:38:04.70\00:38:07.86
You wouldn't want
to just walk in there.
00:38:07.89\00:38:12.24
A person who just walked
in there, didn't walk out,
00:38:12.27\00:38:17.08
that was where, that's a kind
of glory of God was manifested.
00:38:17.11\00:38:24.94
The power of God and
there you had two angels
00:38:24.97\00:38:29.65
and they were
looking down at the ark.
00:38:29.68\00:38:33.28
On top of the ark, you
know, what they had there?
00:38:33.31\00:38:36.66
The Mercy Seat. The Mercy Seat.
00:38:36.69\00:38:42.10
And God said to Moses put
into the Ark the testimony.
00:38:42.13\00:38:48.78
So listen to this whenever,
00:38:48.81\00:38:54.44
whenever the word,
00:38:54.47\00:38:58.32
let me say it again, whenever
the word testimony Eduth
00:38:58.35\00:39:04.74
is used in connection with
the sanctuary of the temple.
00:39:04.77\00:39:12.12
It means one thing and one thing
alone the Ten Commandments.
00:39:12.15\00:39:19.89
I want you to know this and
on top of the Ten Commandants
00:39:19.92\00:39:23.79
that we've all broken,
you have the Mercy Seat
00:39:23.82\00:39:28.69
and the blood was put there.
00:39:28.72\00:39:32.62
"When God looked down upon
00:39:32.65\00:39:34.56
His broken law,
that we've all broken.
00:39:34.59\00:39:37.82
He looked at the law through
the blood on the Mercy Seat,"
00:39:37.85\00:39:43.11
that's the
gospel in the sanctuary.
00:39:43.14\00:39:46.79
And because everybody
has broken the law of God,
00:39:46.82\00:39:51.94
there was a bleeding
sacrifice in the courtyard.
00:39:51.97\00:39:58.84
And so whenever the word
Testimony is used in connection
00:39:58.87\00:40:04.13
with the sanctuary, it
means the Ten Commandments.
00:40:04.16\00:40:09.38
Now come over
here to Deuteronomy 31.
00:40:09.41\00:40:12.76
to 26.
00:40:12.79\00:40:15.94
Deuteronomy 31:24 to
26, notice it in the Bible.
00:40:15.97\00:40:23.60
Deuteronomy 31:24,
"When Moses finished writing
00:40:23.63\00:40:29.14
in a book the words
of this law, the Torah,
00:40:29.17\00:40:34.43
from beginning to end, he
gave the command to the Levites
00:40:34.46\00:40:38.43
who carried the ark of
the covenant of the Lord.
00:40:38.46\00:40:41.96
'Take this Book of the Law
00:40:41.99\00:40:46.74
and place it beside the ark
00:40:46.77\00:40:50.45
of the covenant of
the Lord your God...'"
00:40:50.48\00:40:54.20
You say what does this mean?
00:40:54.23\00:40:56.18
Well, there was a book
besides the Ten Commandments,
00:40:56.21\00:40:59.63
there was a book,
there was a scroll
00:40:59.66\00:41:02.61
and it was placed beside.
00:41:02.64\00:41:05.42
The Torah was beside the
ark and the Ten Commandments,
00:41:05.45\00:41:09.93
the testimony inside the ark.
00:41:09.96\00:41:14.94
Now look at me, I
have people come to me
00:41:14.97\00:41:20.21
and I say that
you separate the law
00:41:20.24\00:41:26.77
from the Ten
Commandments, you can't do it.
00:41:26.80\00:41:32.12
I say to them I never did it.
00:41:32.15\00:41:35.40
My church didn't do it.
00:41:35.43\00:41:37.39
God did it in the
sanctuary and whenever this word
00:41:37.42\00:41:44.22
testimony is used--
I said to my friends
00:41:44.25\00:41:47.48
who say, the
Sabbath is abolished.
00:41:47.51\00:41:50.67
I say to my friends who say,
00:41:50.70\00:41:52.80
we don't need the
commandments of God anymore.
00:41:52.83\00:41:57.30
I say to you, whenever the word
testimony is used in connection
00:41:57.33\00:42:03.67
with the sanctuary, it
means one thing my friend,
00:42:03.70\00:42:06.67
let God speak to your heart.
00:42:06.70\00:42:09.34
And some may be saying, I
don't want to believe this.
00:42:09.37\00:42:12.82
I had a man say
to me sometime back,
00:42:12.85\00:42:14.90
he's given up the
commandments, when I showed,
00:42:14.93\00:42:16.81
he said don't tell me anymore,
I don't want to hear this.
00:42:16.84\00:42:20.53
Let God talk to you.
00:42:20.56\00:42:23.43
Let God have his way with you.
00:42:23.46\00:42:27.40
Now we know that something
00:42:27.43\00:42:29.93
was nailed to the
cross, we know that.
00:42:29.96\00:42:32.91
We know that something was
done away with at the across.
00:42:32.94\00:42:36.62
My friends say, well,
they were the Ten Commandments,
00:42:36.65\00:42:39.72
but try stealing
that person's motorcar.
00:42:39.75\00:42:43.45
Oh, no, that
commandment still remains.
00:42:43.48\00:42:48.23
We know that something
was nailed to the cross,
00:42:48.26\00:42:51.43
but if we can find in
the last book of the Bible
00:42:51.46\00:42:54.91
written well and truly
this side of the cross,
00:42:54.94\00:42:57.41
if we can find a
sanctuary, and the testimony,
00:42:57.44\00:43:03.37
and the commandments,
this is a end of all debate.
00:43:03.40\00:43:09.94
Come now to the
Book of Revelation,
00:43:09.97\00:43:11.69
the last book of the Bible.
00:43:11.72\00:43:14.80
Revelation
11:19. I love the Bible.
00:43:14.83\00:43:21.05
I love to be
standing on the Bible.
00:43:21.08\00:43:26.21
Revelation 11:19, "Then God's
temple in heaven was opened."
00:43:26.24\00:43:31.92
This is at the second
coming, right at the end,
00:43:31.95\00:43:34.42
"And within his temple was
seen the ark of his covenant..."
00:43:34.45\00:43:39.24
There is a temple
and there is an ark.
00:43:39.27\00:43:44.46
Look at Revelation
15:5, Revelation 15:5,
00:43:44.49\00:43:51.12
"After this I looked
and in heaven the temple,
00:43:51.15\00:43:55.22
that is, the tabernacle
00:43:55.25\00:43:58.06
of the Testimony, was opened."
00:43:58.09\00:44:01.10
Look at me.
00:44:04.34\00:44:07.30
Heaven is opened
in the last days.
00:44:07.33\00:44:11.14
Glory be to God.
00:44:11.17\00:44:13.25
John sees a temple, John
looks further and he sees an ark
00:44:13.28\00:44:21.11
blazing with the glory of God.
00:44:21.14\00:44:24.14
And he looks inside the
ark and he sees the testimony,
00:44:24.17\00:44:30.18
the
commandments of God including
00:44:30.21\00:44:33.48
the fourth one which
is the Sabbath. Amen.
00:44:33.51\00:44:38.52
Don't you dare
say, it doesn't matter.
00:44:38.55\00:44:44.10
Every time the word testimony
00:44:44.13\00:44:46.39
is used in
connection with the sanctuary,
00:44:46.42\00:44:48.79
it refers to the Ten
Commandments, nothing else.
00:44:48.82\00:44:52.89
In one of the
text, Revelation 14:12,
00:44:57.20\00:45:02.55
"This calls for
patient endurance on the part
00:45:02.58\00:45:07.95
of the saints who
obey God's commandments,"
00:45:07.98\00:45:12.63
the ten, "and
remain faithful to Jesus."
00:45:12.66\00:45:19.73
This is for the
person who is looking
00:45:19.76\00:45:24.12
for truth on the law of God
00:45:24.15\00:45:27.55
and the
commandments the ultimate proof.
00:45:27.58\00:45:31.56
From that man who
was ravaging the church,
00:45:31.59\00:45:33.97
there came a complete silence.
00:45:34.00\00:45:39.17
And that is why
my beloved friend,
00:45:39.20\00:45:41.53
I say to you every great church,
00:45:41.56\00:45:45.84
we're not
talking about the cults.
00:45:45.87\00:45:48.60
When people come
to me and they say,
00:45:48.63\00:45:50.26
the Ten Commandments are
abolished, that is cultic.
00:45:50.29\00:45:56.44
But every great church
has taught the perpetuity
00:45:56.47\00:46:01.43
of the Ten Commandments
like my old mother church,
00:46:01.46\00:46:07.49
the church of
England which is called
00:46:07.52\00:46:11.90
in this country
the Episcopal Church.
00:46:11.93\00:46:13.96
Come with me to the Ten
Commandments, Exodus 20.
00:46:13.99\00:46:17.45
And I shall read them.
00:46:17.48\00:46:20.53
And I want you to do
what they do according
00:46:20.56\00:46:23.19
to that wonderful prayer book
00:46:23.22\00:46:26.90
that came from
the Anglican Church,
00:46:26.93\00:46:30.65
because the priest
would stand every Sunday
00:46:30.68\00:46:34.28
before the
congregation and he would read
00:46:34.31\00:46:37.44
the words of the
Ten Commandments.
00:46:37.47\00:46:40.47
And the congregation would say,
00:46:40.50\00:46:42.96
Lord, have mercy upon us
00:46:42.99\00:46:45.77
and incline our
hearts to keep this law,
00:46:45.80\00:46:48.27
thus we shall be true to
the faith of our fathers.
00:46:48.30\00:46:53.90
God spoke all these
words, "I am the Lord your God,
00:46:53.93\00:46:58.24
who brought you out of Egypt,
out of the land of slavery.
00:46:58.27\00:47:01.81
You shall have no
other Gods before me."
00:47:01.84\00:47:04.40
And the congregation says...
00:47:04.43\00:47:07.90
Lord have mercy upon us.
00:47:07.93\00:47:09.75
Incline our
hearts to keep this law.
00:47:09.78\00:47:13.86
"You shall not make for yourself
an idol in the form of anything
00:47:13.89\00:47:17.26
in heaven above or on the earth
00:47:17.29\00:47:19.06
beneath or in the waters below.
00:47:19.09\00:47:21.35
You shall not bow down
to them or worship them,
00:47:21.38\00:47:24.06
for I, the Lord,
I am a jealous God,
00:47:24.09\00:47:27.16
punishing the children
for the sin of the fathers
00:47:27.19\00:47:29.78
to the third and fourth
generation of those who hate me,
00:47:29.81\00:47:33.49
but showing love to
a thousand generations
00:47:33.52\00:47:36.50
of those who love me
and keep my commandments."
00:47:36.53\00:47:41.38
Lord, have mercy
upon us and incline
00:47:41.41\00:47:44.63
our hearts to keep this law.
00:47:44.66\00:47:47.42
No idols in the church.
00:47:47.45\00:47:50.16
The third commandment "You shall
not misuse the name of the Lord
00:47:50.19\00:47:53.44
your God, for the Lord
will not hold anyone guiltless
00:47:53.47\00:47:57.59
who misuses his name."
00:47:57.62\00:48:00.11
Lord, have mercy upon us.
00:48:00.14\00:48:02.91
Incline our
hearts to keep this law.
00:48:02.94\00:48:06.41
God forbid that any
person he should take the name
00:48:06.44\00:48:09.28
of the Lord in vain,
I hear it all the time.
00:48:09.31\00:48:12.41
Oh, my God, they
say, blasphemous.
00:48:12.44\00:48:17.80
How do they expect to
walk the streets of gold?
00:48:17.83\00:48:23.97
The Third Commandment
"You shall not misuse
00:48:24.00\00:48:27.11
the name of the Lord your
God, for the Lord will not hold
00:48:27.14\00:48:29.66
anyone guiltless
who misuses his name."
00:48:29.69\00:48:32.04
Now the Fourth Commandment.
00:48:32.07\00:48:34.79
The priest, the
Anglican priest would read,
00:48:34.82\00:48:38.13
"Remember the Sabbath
day by keeping it holy.
00:48:38.16\00:48:41.66
Six days you shall
labor and do all your work,
00:48:41.69\00:48:44.81
but the seventh day is a
Sabbath to the Lord your God.
00:48:44.84\00:48:48.04
On it you shall not do any work,
00:48:48.07\00:48:50.58
neither you, nor
your son or daughter,
00:48:50.61\00:48:53.40
nor your
manservant or maidservant,
00:48:53.43\00:48:55.73
nor your animals, nor
the alien within your gates.
00:48:55.76\00:48:59.88
For in six days the Lord
made the heavens and the earth,
00:48:59.91\00:49:05.18
the sea, and
all that is in them,
00:49:05.21\00:49:08.31
but he rested
on the seventh day.
00:49:08.34\00:49:10.47
Therefore the Lord blessed
00:49:10.50\00:49:12.16
the Sabbath day
and made it holy."
00:49:12.19\00:49:15.14
And the congregation,
Lord, have mercy upon us
00:49:15.17\00:49:20.32
and incline our
hearts to keep this law.
00:49:20.35\00:49:24.02
"Honor your
father and your mother,
00:49:24.05\00:49:26.56
so that you may
live long in the land
00:49:26.59\00:49:29.15
the Lord your
God is giving you."
00:49:29.18\00:49:31.78
Lord, have mercy up on us
00:49:31.81\00:49:34.70
and incline our
hearts to keep this law.
00:49:34.73\00:49:40.55
"You shall not murder."
00:49:40.58\00:49:42.91
Lord, have mercy upon us
00:49:42.94\00:49:45.45
and incline our
hearts to keep this law.
00:49:45.48\00:49:48.33
"You shall not commit adultery."
00:49:48.36\00:49:51.90
Lord, have mercy upon us
00:49:51.93\00:49:54.92
and incline our
hearts to keep this law.
00:49:54.95\00:49:57.73
"You shall not steal."
00:49:57.76\00:50:00.82
Lord, have mercy upon us
00:50:00.85\00:50:03.56
and incline our
hearts to keep this law.
00:50:03.59\00:50:06.29
"You shall not
give false testimony
00:50:06.32\00:50:09.64
against your neighbor."
00:50:09.67\00:50:12.23
Lord, have mercy upon us
00:50:12.26\00:50:15.04
and incline our
hearts to keep this law.
00:50:15.07\00:50:18.11
"You shall not covet
your neighbor's house.
00:50:18.14\00:50:20.83
You shall not covet
your neighbor's wife,
00:50:20.86\00:50:23.43
or his
manservant or maidservant,
00:50:23.46\00:50:26.68
his ox or donkey, or anything
that belongs to your neighbor."
00:50:26.71\00:50:32.20
And the
congregation cries out, Lord,
00:50:32.23\00:50:36.49
have mercy upon us and incline
our hearts to keep this law.
00:50:36.52\00:50:42.29
And I say, amen and amen.
00:50:42.32\00:50:48.83
Why did God give us
these Ten Commandments?
00:50:48.86\00:50:53.80
You listen to some people
you'd think it was for a curse.
00:50:53.83\00:50:58.62
He gave these commandments
for our good, for our peace,
00:50:58.65\00:51:03.78
for our security, for
our health, our safety.
00:51:03.81\00:51:09.06
Isaiah said, "O that you had
hearkened unto my commandments,
00:51:09.09\00:51:14.08
then your peace would
have been like a river
00:51:14.11\00:51:17.83
and your righteousness
like the waves of the sea."
00:51:17.86\00:51:22.88
Dr. Graeme said,
"Out of unbalanced
00:51:22.91\00:51:27.83
practices of
impurity grow phobias
00:51:27.86\00:51:31.97
which alarm even our
most skilled psychiatrists."
00:51:32.00\00:51:36.01
Do you want to
know why this country
00:51:36.04\00:51:38.73
seems to be
going down spiritually
00:51:38.76\00:51:42.08
and in many other ways?
00:51:42.11\00:51:45.02
It's because the law of
God has been kicked out.
00:51:45.05\00:51:49.34
Professor Walter Rauschenbusch
said, "The moral laws are
00:51:49.37\00:51:53.95
just as stable as
the law of gravitation.
00:51:53.98\00:51:56.81
Every fuzzy human chicken
that is hatched into this world
00:51:56.84\00:52:00.99
tries to fool with these laws.
00:52:01.02\00:52:03.40
Some grow wiser in the
process and some do not.
00:52:03.43\00:52:06.89
We talk about
breaking God's laws.
00:52:06.92\00:52:09.67
But after these laws have been
broken several billion times
00:52:09.70\00:52:13.88
since Adam first
tried to play with them,
00:52:13.91\00:52:16.75
these laws are still
intact and no seam or fracture
00:52:16.78\00:52:20.26
is visible in them, not
even a scratch on the enamel.
00:52:20.29\00:52:25.08
But the lawbreakers--
that is another story.
00:52:25.11\00:52:29.34
If you want to
find their fragments,
00:52:29.37\00:52:30.90
go to the ruins of Egypt,
of Babylon and of Jerusalem.
00:52:30.93\00:52:33.51
Study statistics, read
faces, keep your eyes open.
00:52:33.54\00:52:36.56
Walk through the
graveyard and read
00:52:36.59\00:52:38.62
the invisible inscriptions
left by the Angel of Judgment,
00:52:38.65\00:52:42.00
for instance, Here lie
the fragments of John Smith,
00:52:42.03\00:52:45.79
who contradicted his
Maker, played football
00:52:45.82\00:52:48.37
with the Ten
Commandments and departed
00:52:48.40\00:52:50.41
this life at the age of 35.
00:52:50.44\00:52:52.87
His mother and
wife weep for him.
00:52:52.90\00:52:54.79
Nobody else does.
May he rest in peace.
00:52:54.82\00:52:58.94
This country has in New York,
the great Statue of Liberty.
00:52:58.97\00:53:04.47
Thank God for liberty.
00:53:04.50\00:53:07.72
Paul says for
liberty, Christ has called us.
00:53:07.75\00:53:11.68
The Statue of Liberty
but this country needs
00:53:11.71\00:53:15.34
another statue, the
statue of responsibility. Amen.
00:53:15.37\00:53:21.92
Whereby we'll
keep His commandments.
00:53:21.95\00:53:25.09
I picked up this
magazine, is it Newsweek,
00:53:25.12\00:53:28.72
talking about Wall
Street and the people
00:53:28.75\00:53:30.68
who are running it fast,
loose, and out of control,
00:53:30.71\00:53:35.40
fast, loose, and out of control.
00:53:35.43\00:53:38.54
You know, what they
ought to do at Wall Street,
00:53:38.57\00:53:42.46
at the stock exchange,
they would have nail up
00:53:42.49\00:53:44.85
the Ten Commandments.
00:53:44.88\00:53:48.95
This great land that
was born on the gospel
00:53:48.98\00:53:54.86
and the Ten
Commandments is being destroyed
00:53:54.89\00:54:00.84
by greed, lying, idolatry,
00:54:00.87\00:54:05.59
the love of money, another God.
00:54:05.62\00:54:09.80
We need the Ten Commandments,
fences for the tree,
00:54:13.80\00:54:16.75
George Vandeman called them.
00:54:16.78\00:54:18.97
And we need them as Paul
said in Galatians 3:21 to 24
00:54:19.00\00:54:24.53
"That the law
is our schoolmaster
00:54:24.56\00:54:27.62
to lead us to Christ.
00:54:27.65\00:54:29.61
The law is a mirror.
00:54:29.64\00:54:32.13
When I see myself as I
am when the spirit of God
00:54:32.16\00:54:37.37
enlightens my
darkened soul, the law of God
00:54:37.40\00:54:41.97
drives me to Christ,
drives me to the gospel."
00:54:42.00\00:54:47.06
Listen to these words.
00:54:49.91\00:54:52.47
"I hear the words of
love, I gaze upon the blood,
00:54:52.50\00:54:57.99
I see the mighty sacrifice,
and I have peace with God.
00:54:58.02\00:55:04.79
Law and terrors do but harden,
all the while they work alone.
00:55:04.82\00:55:12.21
But a sense of
blood-bought pardon
00:55:12.24\00:55:15.04
can melt the heart of stone."
00:55:15.07\00:55:18.16
Has it melted your heart?
00:55:18.19\00:55:20.69
Or are you hardening
your heart against the gospel?
00:55:20.72\00:55:24.17
But a sense of
blood-bought pardon
00:55:24.20\00:55:27.75
can melt a heart of stone.
00:55:27.78\00:55:30.15
To run and work
the law commands,
00:55:30.18\00:55:32.26
but gives me
neither feet nor hands.
00:55:32.29\00:55:35.21
Better news the gospel brings,
00:55:35.24\00:55:37.60
it bids me fly
and gives me wings."
00:55:37.63\00:55:41.35
I would not
work my soul to save.
00:55:41.38\00:55:44.61
For this my Lord has done,
but I would work like any slave,
00:55:44.64\00:55:52.22
for the love of God's Dear Son.
00:55:52.25\00:55:56.52
I believe in the
Ten Commandments.
00:55:56.55\00:56:01.13
Amen. "This I
Believe," amen. Amen.
00:56:01.16\00:56:09.05
He will hold you up
00:56:13.57\00:56:20.24
And He will hold
you up in victory
00:56:20.27\00:56:24.07
Watch your light
outshine the stars
00:56:24.10\00:56:27.40
And when you're
breaking down and weary
00:56:27.43\00:56:30.71
Just be weary in His arms
00:56:30.74\00:56:37.14
There will be
trials There will be tests
00:56:37.17\00:56:43.78
But Jesus is praying
for you In Him we found rest
00:56:43.81\00:56:50.51
So don't you worry
if you begin to fall
00:56:50.54\00:56:56.50
Just lean on the one
love Who's greater than us all
00:56:56.53\00:57:02.58
He will hold you, yeah, yeah
00:57:02.61\00:57:09.50
He will hold you up
00:57:09.53\00:57:15.20
I know Jesus will hold
00:57:15.23\00:57:20.29
He will hold you up
00:57:23.29\00:57:28.88
Jesus, He will hold up
00:57:28.91\00:57:36.06
I know He will hold you up
00:57:36.09\00:57:43.07
Amen.
00:57:55.71\00:57:57.08
