Episode 369: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 335

Episode Summary:

Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. (Proverbs 20:1)

67 A few weeks ago, over in a great, famous hotel in—in Canada where they had put me up. I went up to my room, after my service. And there was young ladies, perhaps in their late teens, eighteen, nineteen, maybe up to twenty-three, somewhere. Three of four of them running up-and-down the floor, with just their underneath garments on. And with bottles in their hands, running from one room to the other, lovely-looking young women.

68 As I got off the elevator, I stood and looked. Oh, there was Something in me! I thought, “O God, will my little Rebekah or Sarah ever come to that?”

69 And I looked at them. They staggered across the floor. I just stepped in, to one side, and they passed and walked on out, went the other way, drinking. I stopped, through the hall, looked down again, seen lovely little ladies which could probably be a real sweetheart to some man. And I heard one of them say, “Whoopee! This is life!”

I thought, “How wrong that is! That’s death.”

70 For, the Bible said, “She that liveth in pleasure is dead while she is alive.” So then we find out, that life, what we call life.

71 And we see signs today, such as this, “Where there is Budweiser, there is life.” How perverted that is! Where there is Budweiser, it is death.

72 And we see signs like this, too, “Life begins when the sun goes down.” No. Death begins when the sun goes down. The people become night prowlers. They prowl at night. And if you notice, they take the nature of the evil. Evil always prowls at night.

73 And I read an article in a magazine, one time when I was on an airplane. It was about Hollywood. And it said, that, “Life begins after midnight. You should come down on certain streets and certain things.” And it had the picture of burlesque, and so forth, that goes on.

And I said, “How perverted that is!”

74 You see, if Satan has a kingdom, he’s got to have a false economy. He’s got to have something that he can present to them, to make them think they are living. But it’s absolutely on the vice versa side. It’s death, in the form of life. See? It’s a perversion from real life.

75 Because, let us settle this in our mind now, once and forever. There’s only one way to have life. That’s right. “And to know Him is Life.” That’s the only way that we can have Life, and no other way, for God has only promised Life through Jesus Christ. And the great Jehovah, without beginning or without ending, without—without beginning of days or ending of years, has give us Life through Jesus Christ, and Him alone.
