We will rejoice and be glad in it."

Glad in it.

"Oh, woe is me

if I preach not the gospels."

Corinthians 9:
16.

Amen, Grandpa.

Oh, well, I think

I'm gonna preach that holy word.

- Preach it, Daddy.

- Yes.

We read in Hebrews 11...

By faith... by faith...

Noah, being warned by God

of things not seen as yet...

prepared an ark...

for the savin' of his house...

by which he condemned all others.

For there was multitudes

upon multitudes of people...

and God drowned them

all except Noah and his flock.

Drowned them all.

All sinners gone to hell.

Praise his name.

I'm good at climbing.

I'm good at climbing.

You talk to some of them maudlin,

touchy-feely preachers out there...

peddlin' their soft faith...

they gonna tell you what you wanna hear.

They ain't gonna tell you

what you need to know.

They can't. Can't tell you the truth.

Why, it might be politically incorrect.

But they'll tell you...

this nation and the world

is goin' to hell.

They won't tell you why.

Can't tell you why.

They'll tell you...

"God loves you.

God loves everybody."

Does a God that drowned the entire world,

exception of Noah and his flock...

sound like a God that loves you?

No.

That sound like a God

that forgives your sins?

- No!

- No, sir.

Your carnal desires?

That's not God's love.

That's a God that abhors the wicked.

He abhors those

that ignore his righteous teaching...

and forsake his covenant...

and scoff at his acts.

God doesn't love you...

unless you fear him.

We talk about a fear we have

of certain snakes.

Well, that'd be a righteous fear.

We talkin' about a fear we have

of takin' a cookie...

Grandma's cookie jar...

'fraid of being caught?

I don't believe so.

Talkin' about the fear of God. I fear God.

You better believe I fear God.

But my fear is born out of respect...

- Oh, f***.

- Admiration...

devotion...

sacrifice...

adoration...

and knowledge of the scripture...

that I preach.

Give us some knowledge, Daddy.

Give us some knowledge.

But I preach knowledge,

and I preach to this...

and I preach, and I preach...

Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord.

I preach like my daddy before me,

and his daddy before him.

My grandaddy built this church

goin' on a hundred years ago.

He used to minister up there...

at the 12th St. Baptist

up there in the city...

till he couldn't stomach

what he called the deviltry anymore.

So he abandoned that modern-day Gomorrah

and settled Cooper's Dell...

June, 1917.

But if he thought people

were depraved back then...

I mean, his head'd nearly burst...

if he saw how wicked

this country's become.

I hate the wickedness of America...

and all the sin-worshippers

who populate it.
