Transcript

Alright thank you very much, and hello again dear radio friends. How in the world are you? Doing all right? Yes, thank God we can be in the world but not of it, and that’s the basis for the little corny greeting that has become part of our trademark. I stole it originally, from my good friend Elliott Stedelbauer, who lived up in Toronto for most of his life, I guess. I’ve traveled with them across the world, precious brother, and he used to say that and the verse stuck with me and when I went on the radio, the day by day, back in 1962, representing the college, I said, well now, let’s have a little greeting and maybe you can use Elliott’s greeting, “How in the world are you?”, and it stuck. So, that’s where it comes from. Well, I hope everything’s all right at your house, and so glad that you are there on the listening, and thank you for being there. Well, these people who were came from Jerusalem, these know it all’s, they couldn’t explain the power by which our Lord Jesus Christ was casting out demons, and so all they could do was to ascribe it to Satan himself. A tragic mistake and blasphemous statement. Well, “He called them unto Him”. How gentle the Lord Jesus was, He didn’t defend Himself. He just, he just lined up for them, some very special truth. He said, “How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand, and if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand, and if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but have an end. No man can enter into a strong man’s house and spoil his goods except he will first bind the strong man, then he will spoil his house”. We stop just for a moment. Our Jesus always pointed out the fact that you can’t go in two directions at once. Satan can’t cast out Satan, a house divided against itself can’t stand and elsewhere He said, “No man can serve two masters”.

I once asked Bernice Cory who with Vic Cory founded the great Scripture Press publishing house. They started in their own home and their shipping department was their kitchen table. Humble beginnings, but my, what a great ministry today. Well, they’ve both gone to be with the Lord, but during four or five years, it was my privilege to work closely with them, and so I said to Mrs. Cory once day, “Bernice, tell me, how was it that you were brought to the Lord Jesus Christ?”, and she went on to say that she was quite religious and quite self-righteous, at the same time, and determined that she was going to get all the enjoyment she could out of life, and not allow religion to circumscribe her activities, and hinder her pursuit of happiness. Now, she wasn’t doing anything terribly wrong, but she was simply determined that nobody was going to make a Christian out of her, the kind of Christian at least, that couldn’t do the things that she wanted to do. She said, this went on for a while and she knew that God was dealing with her heart at the same time, and she knew also that there was a godly aunt, who was praying earnestly for her niece, and so it came about one day, that her aunt was talking with her, and Bernice, rather petulantly I suppose, said, “Well, Auntie, I just, I don’t think God says anywhere that that I mustn’t do these things, and I want to have some fun”, and so on. She was defending herself as vigorously as she could, and this dear godly lady asked her to look up the passage where Lord Jesus said, “No man can serve two masters”. She said, “Read that out loud, would you Bernice”, and so the young lady read it. “No man can serve two masters”. Now, said this godly aunt, “It doesn’t say, Bernice, no man should. It doesn’t say that you mustn’t. It says you can’t. That it says it’s impossible to go both ways”. You want to think about that for a while? And that truth began to stick in the conscience of this young lady, and Mrs. Cory told me that it wasn’t long before she said, “Lord I know I can’t go two ways at once. I know I have to make you Lord of my life”, and that was the turning point.
