Well, it's good to be here tonight friends
and to be before you with this message.
You're not going to want to miss it
uh, the old puritans Had long sermon titles
because their sermons had so much to say
If you will, excuse me friends.
I have a long sermon title for you
tonight Because I have a lot to say
and i'll get to that title in a
minute But what we've accomplished In our churches
today is to make men and women religious
without christ And give them a false sense
of security in a society That is on
a mad rush to hell Everyone is willing
to take a savior that will keep them
out of hell But nobody wants a lord
who will keep them from sinning the old
time puritan preachers had these long Titles attached
to their sermons because they had so much
truth jammed in there to speak to sinners
in their generation And if you pardon me
friends, I want to bring you the title
of my message this evening, which is Come
kill your god and come clean With the
god of the bible or just go on
to hell clutching your idols Now that's the
title of my message this evening friends because
I believe everyone has a god they serve
We have found us a religion We are
comfortable with and we have found us a
god We can get by with so long
as he doesn't get in the way of
our daily living If you're not careful some
of you Will go to hell hanging on
to your god with one hand and clutching
your idols in the other This stuff we
call salvation In our church today is a
byproduct of anemic evangelism Which has been handed
out like free kool-aid And everybody's drunk
it and we drank it because it was
easy to swallow And it tasted good going
down, but it did nothing for a spiritual
condition Nor did it fix our sin problem
of a broken law of god whereby We
stand guilty beneath the condemnation Of a holy
god who hates sin Who has to deal
with sin and who will punish sin?
our trouble is We've never seen our sins
for what they are arrows into the heart
of god the father No one preaches the
law today that shuts men up and women
to god for salvation But the law Must
be preached because one day the sentencing of
the law will be carried out on all
guilty lawbreakers God declares that the requirement to
get into his holy heaven Is perfection?
And no man is perfect, but all have
sinned and fallen short of the glory of
god at a future judgment every mother's son
Will be held up to the strictness and
severity Of the law of god and everyone
will fail that test Because a crime has
been committed Through the transgression of god's law
The sentencing of the law must be carried
out and sin must be punished the trouble
with the modern church in our day Is
that we have congregations full of nice people
who refuse to believe that God is a
god who must punish sin They have heard
preacher after preacher for years tell them that
if you go to hell friend It's because
you sent yourself there That's a bold-faced
lie You wouldn't send yourself to hell any
more than you'd arrest yourself for committing a
crime Try yourself pronounce sentence against yourself and
lock yourself up in a prison for years
Nobody Willingly will go to hell.
That's why it says Listen to me.
That's why it says over in the gospel
of matthew in chapter 22 in verse 13
Then said the king to the servants bind
him Hand and foot and take him away
And cast him into outer darkness There should
be weeping and gnashing of teeth Uh, you
think you're gonna walk on over to hell
and jump on in there?
No, sir You will be taken by angels
with a superhuman power They will tie you
up like a dirty hog ready for the
slaughterhouse And you will scream your head off
and gnash and bite your teeth in anger
As they forcibly cast you into that burning
pit of torment and misery Now that's the
introduction to my message tonight friends and you
better pay close attention To what I have
to say Because you're gonna hear the gospel
tonight in all its bloody colors Some of
you have never heard the real gospel before
in your whole life and this will shock
you because the gospel of the son of
god Is an offense to lost religious people.
It makes them fighting mad And it is
foolishness to the world of pagan idolaters Some
of you Won't like my message and you
sure shooting won't like me Because I have
a dirty job to do friends in hand
-to-hand combat with you because Before you
will listen to me proclaim the god of
the bible.
I first have to kill the god of
your imagination And so do you Come kill
your god and come clean with the god
of the bible or just go on to
hell clutching your idols Now you're gonna have
to throw them down Cast them aside to
get to the god of the bible who
declares in isaiah 116 wash you Make you
clean Put away the evil of your doings
From before mine eyes cease to do evil
Now, that's what the god of the bible
declares about himself And what he thinks of
your filthy rotten sins God will avenge himself
against all sin friend My bible is clear
on this as it describes the vengeance of
god against sin In isaiah by saying The
sword of the lord is filled with blood
and over in the new testament in second
thessalonians We read of the avenging god Coming
out of heaven Oh when the lord jesus
Shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty
angels inflaming fire Taking vengeance on them that
know not god and that obey not the
gospel of our lord jesus christ Who shall
be punished?
with everlasting destruction From the presence of the
lord and from the glory of his power
Now that's the god of the bible friend
and the god of the bible is a
god who must punish sin You better get
your knife out and kill that little god
You whittled out for yourself who lets you
sin all you want to and leaves you
alone Hear me now our churches are loaded
With baptized heathen in love with their sins
who just got enough religion to comfort them
on their way to hell You better kill
your god and come clean with the god
of the bible through repentance of sin I'm
here to warn you Of the fearful wrath
of god due to them that sin You
can't hide your sins from a holy All
seeing god God will smoke you out of
your hole and chase you down And pursue
you Right up to the judgment and arraign
you before angels and men To prove that
you are guilty Of breaking a strict law
and you will then have to face The
severity of that broken law as a just
judge then damns you forever in a devil's
hell They will have to hold you down
and bind your hand and foot while you're
screaming Your full head off.
That's when your legs will go wobbly and
lose their strength And your knees will knock
together like you're doing a mexican cucaracha in
isaiah We see your condition as you face
the sentencing of the law the sinners in
zion are afraid Fearfulness has surprised the hypocrites
who among us shall dwell with the devouring
fire Who among us shall dwell?
with the everlasting burnings Your knees will go
to knock and then friend when your sin
is found out You better come clean with
the god of the bible now before it's
too late A man must be awakened to
their lost condition And see their danger of
dying in their sins and come and tremble
before the god of all majesty and eternity
Who has power to cast you into hell?
Jesus says fear him Jesus says in matthew
10 28 And fear not them which kill
the body but are not able to kill
the soul but rather Fear him which is
able to destroy both soul and body in
hell Men must see their sin And feel
their guilt before they will repent and come
clean with god and seek him for mercy
and forgiveness for sin But the man Who
will not see his sin?
Will not be troubled in conscience for his
sin Nor will he be forced to confess
and forsake it and condemn himself for it
before a holy god All the powers of
hell Will conspire together to keep man from
seeing their sins and their guilt of sin
Be willing friend To know your condition now
and be able to do something about it
to be willing for the spirit of god
To shine his holy spotlight on your soul
and expose your sins To search you and
convince you of your guilt and peril to
stand one day Before the god of all
the earth and give an account to him
For it is appointed Unto men once to
die but after this the judgment Oh friend
Wouldn't you rather come clean with god now
in repentance?
And throw down your most beloved idols and
get to a blood-stained savior from sin
Who hung on a ignoble cross on a
hill called calvary?
Jesus christ is the only remedy And refuge
for sin and he was nailed to a
cross and crucified for sin There he bore
the curse becoming sin for us But you
must get to christ friend salvation is christ
The cross is the place Where wicked men
sought to get rid of him, but by
his death it becomes the place Where his
saving power flows out to all hear me
now flows out to all Who come in
repentance?
Confessing they are sinners and own a master
savior and lord i'm all worn out friend
from this message I feel like a Excuse
me I feel like a dishrag that's been
wrung out But I feel I can't leave
you without giving you An opportunity to come
clean with god and do business with his
son I'm gonna sing a hymn friend and
if god's been dealing with your awakened soul
Through this message then don't delay you get
to christ You get to christ as fast
as you can in matthew jesus said and
as moses Lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness even so Must the son of man
be lifted up Look at that man on
the cross friend See the nails in his
bleeding hands and feet Uh, look at that
blood-stained savior from sin as he hangs
there Beckoning you to come to him.
He says that whosoever Believeth in him should
not perish but have eternal life For god
so loved the world that he gave his
only begotten son that whosoever Believeth in him
should not perish but have everlasting life How
about you friend?
Are you ready?
and willing To kill your god and come
clean with the god of the bible To
throw down your shotgun of rebellion At his
nail-pierced feet to get rid of your
filthy idols once and forever And confess and
forsake your dirty rotten sins Then come you
come To this blessed savior from sin the
lord christ and surrender All you are to
all he is You come as I sing
My hope is built on nothing less than
jesus blood and Righteousness I dare not trust
the sweetest frame but wholly lean on jesus
name On christ the solid Rock I stand
all other ground is sinking sun All other
ground is sinking sun When darkness fails his
lovely face I rest on his Unchanging grace
in every high and stormy gale My anchor
holds with in the veil On christ the
solid Rock I stand All other ground is
sinking sun All other ground is sinking sun
