For the past fifteen years, I have been trying to preach the Gospel. All of these thirty-two years have been spent in school: grammar, high, college, seminary, and the school of practical experience. Dur­ ing these years of schooling, I have only learned three lessons that are really worth-while. I was born a totally depraved, vicious sinner; but I did not know it. My parents say that evidences of that sinful disposition be­ gan to manifest themselves before I was three days old. The first day I went to school I rebelled at the authority of the school. I had numerous disputes with other students. Some of these disputes ended in blows. I did not know why it was that I rebelled at all authority, and defied anyone that opposed me. I went to church, but I was not interested. I was never able to understand myself until I read: "The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies." (Psa. 58:3). Then I read Psalm 51:5, which says: "Behold I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." Later, as a beloved brother of the cross read: "For we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Rom. 3:23), I saw myself as I was-depraved from birth, with vicious desires and unholy passions; condemned before God. Thus I learned my first lesson. Just how to rid myself of the sin I possessed, I did not know. I had attended a church of another denomination and had heard men speculate about the plan of salvation. I had heard them say with emphasis: "No man can know that he is saved until he gets to heav­ en." I had heard them sing: "'Tis a point I long to know, Oft it causes anxious thought: Do I love the Lord, or no f Am I His, or am I not f" That type of religion made no appeal to me. If I had possessed that kind of religion, I would have been no better off than I was; I was already in a state of indecision. Then, one night I sat in a Baptist church and heard the scripture: "The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin." (I John 1:7.) Like a drowning man grasping at a straw, I laid hold of this; and sang that night with others that trusted the same Savior: 347302 "Happy night, happy night, when Jesus washed my black heart white; He taught me how to sing and shout, and be a Christian out and out, Happy night, happy night, when Jesus washed my black heart white." Then I could say with Paul: "I know whom I have believed.'· ~II Tim. 1: 12.) There was no guess-work about this. I could say with Naaman: "Now I know there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel" (II Kings 5:15). As my second great lesson, I had learned that I was a sinner saved by grace. I was so happy in the Lord that I felt this experience just could not last. I concluded that it must end some time. But, lo, it was not ended; but has grown sweeter with each passing day. Thu~ I learned my third great lesson,-that I was saved eternally, and could never be lost. This was the greatest lesson of all. Now with Paul, I say: "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." (Phil. 1:6); or with Peter: "Kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." (I Pet. 1:5) ; or still again with my blessed Lord: "No man i,; able to pluck them out of my :E'ather's hand." (John 10:29). These three lessons have meant very much to me. I preach them every time I stand before an audience. I have preached them in each of these thirteen messages of the past thirteen consecutive Sunday evenings in our radio broadcast over Station WCMI. These sermons are not attempts at polished literary productions, but are simply "sparks from a busy anvil", being reproduced here exactly as they have been given over the air. May God bless them to the good of the many who shall read them as He has the many who have heard them. JOHN R. GILPIN. September 1, 1937.

My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able t o pluck them out of my Father's hand." I wa nt to t ell you a bout the great est insura nce ·, policy in thE world. I am an agent for the company. I represent the King's Etern­ al Life I nsurance Company . It has headquarters in H eaven. The direc­ torate includes God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The President is the King of kings. The Genera l Agen t is t he H oly Spirit. I I want to offer some reasons why y ou should t a ke a policy in this company. First of a ll, it is the oldest. It has been doing busi• n ess for thousands of years and it has never changed its p'Olicies nor mana gement: "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever" (Heb. 13:8). "For I am the Lord, I change not" (Ma l. 3:6). It is the strongest of all insurance compa nies. It has more capital than all other companies combined, for its capita l is the "unsearchable riches of Christ" (Eph. 3 :8). It has the largest number of policy holders. In Matt. 8 :11, we read that J esus said, "Many sha ll come from the east and west , and shall sit down with Abraha m, and Isaa c, and J acob, in the kingdom of heaven" . R ev. 7: 9 speaks of, "A great multitude, which no man could number, of all na tions, and kindreds, and people, a nd tongues, stood before the throne". In R ev. 5 :11, we read, "And I beheld, and I hea1·d the v oice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders : and the number of them was t en thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands." Bring on your a d­ ding machine, your posting machine, and your clerks, secretaries, a nd stenographers and try to count the redeemed; y ou will only find tha t it is "a great multitude, which no man could number" . It has no dissa tisfied policy holders. N ot one has been displeased with the benefits derived in 6000 years of the company's existence. Every one is a booster. In f act , all are anxious to get others to en­ roll. It is the only company which insures a man for more than he is -6- worth. In every company there is a limitation except in this one. How much is a man worth 1 Paul tells us, "They are together be­ come unprofitable (Rom. 3:12)". In spite of man's valuation, God insures us for Time and Eternity. You need it. How strongly God argues your need of ETERNAL LIFE INSURANCE! "The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked" (Jer.

  • Paul's Letters Script
    Paul’s Letters Episode 05 Second Thessalonians Script There I was sitting in my frigid house with a bit of a hangover, wrapped in a blanket. It was January, I’d been out all night. I was musing about the month being named after Janus, the two- faced Roman god. It was said that Janus could see the past and the future at the same time. That’d be awesome, because if I could see the future, I would soon be rich enough to buy all the liquor and women I could want! The Apostle Paul had been staying at my house, I wasn’t the best host, being out all night. He had almost convinced me that my Roman gods were not real. I was on the verge of becoming a Christian, but let’s just say I wasn’t quite ready to give up my wild lifestyle. All of a sudden, reverie interrupted. A group of totally out of control dudes burst through my door. Rough dudes. Rougher than me. What could I do but sit there quietly as they ransacked my house looking for Paul and Silas. Finally, I got their attention. “Paul and Silas aren't here,” I shouted. They were out, somewhere. So, they grabbed me instead. They dragged me toward the city officials. And I wasn’t the only one either, they were also dragging a few people I recognized who had become believers in Jesus. At the town center, the officials were in a turmoil. A few Jews and the rough dudes - accused me of hosting someone who opposed the Roman government, someone who followed a king other than Caesar.

  • Spoon River Anthology (Abridged by Bill Fellner)
    Spoon River Anthology (abridged by Bill Fellner) [The Hill] 4 Where are Elmer, Herman, Bert, Tom and Charley, The weak of will, the strong of arm, the clown, the boozer, the fighter? All, all are sleeping on the hill. One passed in a fever, One was burned in a mine, One was killed in a brawl, One died in a jail, One fell from a bridge toiling for children and wife-- All, all are sleeping, sleeping, sleeping on the hill. Where are Ella, Kate, Mag, Lizzie and Edith, The tender heart, the simple soul, the loud, the proud, the happy one?-- All, all are sleeping on the hill. One died in shameful child-birth, One of a thwarted love, One at the hands of a brute in a brothel, One of a broken pride, in the search for heart's desire; One after life in far-away London and Paris Was brought to her little space by Ella and Kate and Mag-- All, all are sleeping, sleeping, sleeping on the hill. Where are Uncle Isaac and Aunt Emily, And old Towny Kincaid and Sevigne Houghton, And Major Walker who had talked With venerable men of the revolution?-- All, all are sleeping on the hill. They brought them dead sons from the war, And daughters whom life had crushed, And their children fatherless, crying-- All, all are sleeping, sleeping, sleeping on the hill. Where is Old Fiddler Jones Who played with life all his ninety years, Braving the sleet with bared breast, Drinking, rioting, thinking neither of wife nor kin, Nor gold, nor love, nor heaven? Lo! he babbles of the fish-frys of long ago, Of the horse-races of long ago at Clary's Grove, Of what Abe Lincoln said One time at Springfield.

A poem is a device designed to create a mood in the reader that is similar to the mood its author was in while composing it. Right- Poem: "Early Spring". Morning temperature on the Hochschneeberg: 34oF. Snow falling, in the form of rain. Damply shimmering whitish gray snowfields. Water level rising steadily in the rivers. Mild, stormy weather. Generally overcast. Continued, tremendous snowfall in the Northern Alpine region. Avalanches have blocked Tunnel No.ll of the mountain railroad. The hotels at Semmering are overflowing with gentry and wealthy bourgeoisie attempting to squeeze in a few more days of toboganning and such. But the Sun is gobbling up the snow. The Earth is saturated, not to say soggy, and that is why the surplus water is rushing into the rivers. The farmer is optimistic. Young Helga, weeping, is scouring the terrain for primroses.

  • WINE and WEEKLY: SOME THOUGHTS on the ELEMENTS and FREQUENCY of HOLY COMMUNION Last Revised: 11/19/99
    WINE AND WEEKLY: SOME THOUGHTS ON THE ELEMENTS AND FREQUENCY OF HOLY COMMUNION Last Revised: 11/19/99 Introductory Note: This paper is a slightly expanded version of the paper I presented to the elders of Redeemer Presbyterian in April of 1997. By no means do I consider this paper to be the last word on either issue it addresses. I also must beg the reader’s forgiveness for errors yet to be edited, as this is not a final draft. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, especially concerning exegetical, theological, and historical errors. Several specific changes need to be made in future drafts. In particular, the preliminary section on worship on pages 3-4 needs to be further developed and clarified. Also, the section on Romans 14 and Christian liberty needs to be rewritten. Someday, I would like to brush up the section on symbolism, indicating my more mature views in that area. I would also like to make more clear how the Lord’s Supper “works,” that is, its covenantal efficacy. I have littered the paper with footnotes, primarily to keep the more technical aspects of the paper out of the main body. Several footnotes address the presence of Christ in the Supper because this has been such a controversial point in church history and because I consider a proper understanding of this aspect of the Supper crucial to any sacramental debate. Ultimately, the question of Christ’s presence in the sacraments (and in the worship service as a whole) is intimately bound up with the questions of frequency and the use of wine.

I'm one of a select group of radio isotope specialists, chosen for work at Red Stone Arsenal. My research is usually classified, so you are probably unfamiliar with my work on the proper irradiation of radioisotopes. I mention this in order for you to recognize me as a credible witness to a natural phenomenon never before believed possible. But wait! I'm getting ahead of my story.
