1
00:00:00,706 --> 00:00:02,907
You children, you're 
watching your parents.

2
00:00:02,907 --> 00:00:04,672
Listen, your parents aren't perfect.

3
00:00:04,672 --> 00:00:07,118
And don't sit there and 
look at their life and say,

4
00:00:07,118 --> 00:00:12,086
well, I see where they fail
and where they fall short.

5
00:00:12,086 --> 00:00:13,939
What is that?

6
00:00:13,939 --> 00:00:17,363
What is that to you?

7
00:00:17,363 --> 00:00:21,301
Are you going to look at that and say,

8
00:00:21,301 --> 00:00:24,659
well, that justifies me to ignore Christ?

9
00:00:24,659 --> 00:00:28,401
No, all that shows you is 
that sinners need Christ.

10
00:00:28,401 --> 00:00:30,339
And we need Him all the way to the end,

11
00:00:30,339 --> 00:00:32,550
to the very last day.

12
00:00:32,550 --> 00:00:35,685
But are you going to turn 
your back and say

13
00:00:35,685 --> 00:00:38,502
I don't need Him? You better think again.

14
00:00:38,502 --> 00:00:40,506
Because I'll tell you, that day is coming

15
00:00:40,506 --> 00:00:42,875
when you're going to have 
to stand before God

16
00:00:42,875 --> 00:00:45,121
and you'll think right then.

17
00:00:45,121 --> 00:00:49,005
You'll know.

18
00:00:49,005 --> 00:00:50,610
Change your mind now.

19
00:00:50,610 --> 00:00:53,677
Rethink this thing now.

20
00:00:53,677 --> 00:00:55,805
Some of you young people,

21
00:00:55,805 --> 00:00:57,028
you gather out there.

22
00:00:57,028 --> 00:00:58,918
It's like as fast as you can get away -

23
00:00:58,918 --> 00:01:00,349
get away from this thinking,

24
00:01:00,349 --> 00:01:02,753
get away from this 
religion of your parents,

25
00:01:02,753 --> 00:01:05,441
get out there, get closer 
towards the world,

26
00:01:05,441 --> 00:01:07,819
move out towards the sidewalk.

27
00:01:07,819 --> 00:01:10,638
We see you out there.

28
00:01:10,638 --> 00:01:12,668
(incomplete thought)

29
00:01:12,668 --> 00:01:14,478
Remember how it is,

30
00:01:14,478 --> 00:01:16,619
the devil plucks up the seed.

31
00:01:16,619 --> 00:01:19,623
And you want to get out there 
and let each other pluck it up.

32
00:01:19,623 --> 00:01:21,789
The evil influences, 
the worldly influences,

33
00:01:21,789 --> 00:01:24,399
let it get plucked up 
because you want it gone.

34
00:01:24,399 --> 00:01:26,836
You feel better, but listen, 
there's a day coming

35
00:01:26,836 --> 00:01:28,938
when you won't feel better.

36
00:01:28,938 --> 00:01:30,782
You better think again.

37
00:01:30,782 --> 00:01:33,347
This thing that you want 
to so casually throw off

38
00:01:33,347 --> 00:01:35,972
and run away from and live 
it up and live your life,

39
00:01:35,972 --> 00:01:37,414
you better think again.

40
00:01:37,414 --> 00:01:40,299
Because what Jesus said is those

41
00:01:40,299 --> 00:01:41,606
who believe in Him,

42
00:01:41,606 --> 00:01:43,668
those who come to Him,

43
00:01:43,668 --> 00:01:48,114
He gives to them life and more abundantly.

44
00:01:48,114 --> 00:01:51,825
You're on the way of death.

45
00:01:51,825 --> 00:01:53,547
You better think again.

46
00:01:53,547 --> 00:01:55,269
It feels like life.

47
00:01:55,269 --> 00:01:57,247
It feels like freedom,

48
00:01:57,247 --> 00:01:58,909
but it's a devilish one

49
00:01:58,909 --> 00:02:00,989
and it's a deception.

50
00:02:00,989 --> 00:02:03,181
And all the time, Jesus is calling you,

51
00:02:03,181 --> 00:02:04,627
"Come unto Me.

52
00:02:04,627 --> 00:02:07,509
I'll give you life and I'll give it 
to you more abundantly,

53
00:02:07,509 --> 00:02:10,030
and I will forgive every 
single one of the sins,

54
00:02:10,030 --> 00:02:12,969
and I'll take you to paradise 
just like I did that thief."

55
00:02:12,969 --> 00:02:14,860
You better think again.

56
00:02:14,860 --> 00:02:19,611
What I'm offering you is the 
Treasure of all treasures.

57
00:02:19,611 --> 00:02:22,230
Is it offensive to tell people 
those kinds of things?

58
00:02:22,230 --> 00:02:25,351
Is it offensive to tell people that 
their sins mount up to Heaven?

59
00:02:25,351 --> 00:02:27,293
And that pretty soon, the 
ground underneath them

60
00:02:27,293 --> 00:02:28,827
is not going to bear them up anymore?

61
00:02:28,827 --> 00:02:30,009
It's going to give way

62
00:02:30,009 --> 00:02:31,757
and they're going to fall right 
into that lake of fire?

63
00:02:31,757 --> 00:02:34,332
Yes, that offends people, 
but that is the truth.

64
00:02:34,332 --> 00:02:35,647
And we need to call them:

65
00:02:35,647 --> 00:02:38,306
Think again. Think again. Think again.

66
00:02:38,306 --> 00:02:40,496
Ask yourselves this question.

67
00:02:40,496 --> 00:02:42,111
Some of you, you're sitting here,

68
00:02:42,111 --> 00:02:43,667
you know you're not Christians,

69
00:02:43,667 --> 00:02:46,747
or you know you've been playing a game.

70
00:02:46,747 --> 00:02:49,302
