Episode 335: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 301

Episode Summary:

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)

40 My little girl asked me the other night, she said…Or, it was little Joseph, he said, “Daddy, is there such a thing as a witch?”

I said, “Oh, sure.”

41 He said, “Does she have a long nose, and she rides on a broom at nighttime?”

42 I said, “No. She has a painted face, and rides in a Cadillac to a—a cocktail party.” That’s the new modern version of it.

43 And he said, “Is that a witch?” I don’t know whether I should have told him that or not, because every time on the street he sees one, he says, “Daddy, there’s a witch. Isn’t it?” Well, I suppose that…

44 You know, they used to have old Charlie Barleycorn. Some of you older people remember him, with the hat pulled down over his ears. And even a crow would be scared of him, Charlie Barleycorn. Oh, he’s changed since prohibition went out. But now he’s in a little bumper, setting in every icebox, and he’s the most popular fellow in the city. But he is still the same damnable thing that sends man’s soul to hell, and young people to the insane institution; and has got an age up here of rock-and-roll idiots and beatniks, and juvenile delinquency, till it’s become insanity. Even till our schools can’t touch them; we lost twenty thousand teachers last year.

45 Why? They are searching for Something. They are looking for It, and the church has failed to give It to them. The reason they do that, because they were made that way, to search.

46 Finally, what does it end up in? Murder and suicide. Man who thinks that he’s doing something when he gets a date with his neighbor’s wife, or would break up some home or some woman. You think you’re getting by with something, but finally you’ll end up with a pistol to the side of your head, and blow your brains out, or jump from some scaffold somewhere, or kill yourself, take poison, dope, or something, and go into a miserable condition, and die and go to a devil’s hell, because you’ve rejected the—the real Cure.

47 We got a cure. Calvary is that cure. Christ is the cure. And He is the only cure, the only foundation, the only way. There is things that you can get from Christ that you can’t get from nowhere else. Christ is the way; not a way, It’s the way. The church is fine, we love them, but the church is not the way. Jesus is the way! Can’t cast your cares upon the church, the church has no salvation. It can only point you to Jesus, Who is the only salvation. He is the Way, the Truth, the Life. The only way to the Father is through Jesus! The only Comforter, the only One Who can, knows how to care for us.

48 For, we can’t even care for one another. I read in the Scripture some time ago, where It said, “Not discerning the Lord’s Body.” And I thought, what a statement! Found in First Corinthians 11.

…not discerning the Lord’s body.

And for this cause many are sick and weakly among you…
