Episode 363: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 329

Episode Summary:

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. (Proverbs 14:34)

5 For instance, tomorrow it’s packing up time. We got to leave. Maybe tonight. Got to leave this world, go somewhere else. And you know that might be just about so too.

I heard one of my associates say today, that not only in this city, but all the cities around over America; one of my associates said that “He seen a car open up and just a teen-age girl started to get out and the beer and whiskey cans and things fell out of the car. The kid just left them lay there and went on in to get something and come back.” He said, “If God doesn’t soon send judgment upon America, He will have to resurrect Sodom and Gomorrah and apologize to them (That’s right.), resurrect Sodom and Gomorrah and apologize for sinking them (That’s right.) if He don’t soon send judgment.”

We’re in for it, friends, that’s all. Sure. But the Church is in for it too: a rapture. Amen. That’s the wonderful part, the rapture, coming for the Church. Be a sad day for the unbeliever then. But it’ll be a most marvelous time that we’ve ever seen or thought for those who are ready at that time when Jesus comes.

6 What if you were taking a trip into the other world that you don’t know where, just stepping off? You’re old and shaky, you’ve served the Lord for years and years, and tomorrow you’re going to go aboard to the ship that’s going to take you away when you get old. And was going to the ship come in over here at the dock. And you went down and got on this ship, the old foghorn blowed. And she started across the sea, and as soon as you got across, she made trips back and forth for the thousands of years.

And when you set your foot on that new land, somewhere they just discovered a new land. And whenever you set your foot down there, then every one of those gray hairs went black again. All those wrinkles and worn down bodies, went back to a young man and woman again, to live forever. Just as soon as your feet touched that land, that’s what happened. Well, that’s just exactly what happens. That’s right.

When the old ship of Zion comes gets its victim, taking him away. Some of these mornings I expect to hear the whistle blow myself, in the room when the fogs a gathering; this mortal life is spent. I hope that everything’s all right then. I believe that it will be. He give me the promise. I believe it with all my heart, that I’ll step across the other side. Now, not only me, but all those the love His appearing, they’ll be there.

So keep your thoughts on that, sinner friend, tonight. And what if come with you, and went out way out here, to a chute somewhere that went down to a dark whirling pit to an Eternity that never ceased in midnight darkness, and screams, and morns, and groans… Might be tonight, you might make your decision to change ships. I hope you do. All without Christ go that way. All with Christ goes this way. Just the difference of whether you believe Him and accept Him or not. So make your choice tonight, and let us pray now, while we bow our heads.
