  Speaker 1: In the midst of all these changes, there are certain
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: things that have not changed and will never change. The
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: first thing that has never changed in all these centuries,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the nature of God has not changed. He said, I
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: am the Lord. I change not not even that much
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: change in God in all these centuries. He's from everlasting
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to everlasting. He had no beginning, he has no end.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I don't understand that, but I accept it. He's the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: one thing that we can count on as God. He's
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: unchanging in his holiness, Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God Almighty,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: which was, and is and is to come. Revelation four eight.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: God is unchanging in judgment, it says, the Lord shall
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: judge the ends of the earth. God is unchanging in love.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: God committed his love, taught us in that while we
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: were yet sinners, Christ died for us. God loves you.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: That's hard to believe. That's hard to take in. But
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: God loves you. And if you were the only person
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: in the whole world, God would love you, and he
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: would have sent his son Jesus Christ to down the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: cross for you. God is love. That's one thing I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: want you to remember when we leave. That we've said.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: And then the second thing, the word of God has
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: not changed. Not only the nature of God has not changed,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: but the word of God is not changing. This Bible
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: is the word of God. The grass withered, the flower faded,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: but the word of our God shall stand forever. The
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: third thing that hasn't changed, human nature has not changed.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah the Prophet said, as I said a moment ago,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Who can know it? All have sinned and comes short
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of the glory of God. You're a sinner. I'm a sinner.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Sin means that I've broken God's laws. I've broken the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: ten commandments. If you have broken one commandment one time,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: you're guilty of all. Have you ever told a lie?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Have you ever had lust in your heart? Then you're guilty.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: We're guilty before God. And because we're guilty, we're under
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: sentence of death, death in this life and death and
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the life to come. The way of salvation has not
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: changed in all these centuries. The way of salvation is
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: still the same. I'm at the mercy of chance. I
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: feel guilty all the time, and I don't know what
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I'm guilty of. It. I ask the question when I'm alone.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Who am I? I know that I must die, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I'm afraid to die. I don't want to die, but
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I know I'm going to have to die. Every person
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: in this audience seventy five years from now will be dead.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Millions are crying. What can I do to be saved
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: from the pressures of life. The pressures are just so great.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: We have great technology to save time, but we have
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: less time than ever. Escapism is a subconscious mechanism to
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: escape reality. Job said, my days are spent without hope. Isaiah,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the prophet said, even the youths shall think and be weary. Cain,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: who had killed Abel, had a terrible guilt in his life,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and he said, my burden is greater than I can bear. Job,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: who suffered so much in the Bible, wanted to die.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Thousands of people are suffering from some sort of mental illness.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: We're called the tormented generation. The tensions in the home,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: problems at work, health, problems making ends meet. We want
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: to scream in life. We want to escape from life.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: The psalmist and I said, oh, that I had the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: wings like a dove, for then I would fly away
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and be at rest. Have you said that I'd like
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: to just fly away from my problem, get away from
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: him and have rest. The psalmist. Longing to escape has
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: become the cry of the world today. But there doesn't
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: seem to be any way out for you. To those people,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, I'm the way out. Jesus said, I'm the door.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: By me. If any man enter in, he shall be saved.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, I am the Way, the Truth, and the life.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: No man comes to the Father but by me. In
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the sight of God, man is an individual, and God
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: looks upon you as an individual that he loves. He
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: has the hands of your head numbered. He sees the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: spy of faw. He loves you. He's interested in you,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and he wants you to talk to him and tell
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: him what your problems are, and he will help you.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: He loves you so much that he died on the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: cross for you and shed his blood for you. And
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: if you repent of your sins and receive him into
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: your heart, you'll be saved. You'll go to heaven. You
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: don't have to straighten out your life first. You don't
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: have to go home and do something good in order
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to find Christ. You do that after you've come to Christ.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: We don't have to make ourselves well before going to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a doctor. He sees sick people. He doesn't see well people.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Jesus was called the Great Physician. He said, it is
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: And we're all sinners, so are you. The blind man
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: came to Jesus just as he was. The leper came
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: just as he was. You can come to Christ tonight
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: just as you are. You don't have to go and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: clean up anything. You don't have to go change clothes
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: and put on your Sunday best. Just come as you
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: are and say, Lord, I am just a person in
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: need of Christ. I need to know that I know Christ.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: What do I have to do to believe? You have
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: to become as a little child. The Bible says all
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the way through the New Testament that we enter the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Kingdom of God by faith, therefore being justified by faith,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: In Ephesians to it says, for by grace are you
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: saved through faith? Now grace means something you don't earn.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: You don't work for it. You can't work your way
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to heaven. You can't get good enough to get to heaven.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: The word believe implies commitment, surrender. You believe in the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: person of Christ, and that word believe means that you
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: commit your life to him. You're not trusting anything for
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: your future. The little boy that I heard about, he said,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you know this life is short, but from what I've heard,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: eternity is awfully long, and said, we'd better spend our
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: time getting ready for eternity because we never know what
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the next hour is going to bring forth, what the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: next day is going to bring forth. We go to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: church once in a while, maybe every Sunday, but deep
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: in your heart as a doubt that you know Christ,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: you're not sure that if you died at this moment,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you'd go to heaven. You want to be sure. You
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: want to be certain. You want to know that your
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: sins are forgiven, and you want to know that purpose
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and meaning that God can give to you. Are you
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: willing to change your way of living? That's repentance, to
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: change your mind, to change the direction of your life.
