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...
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,
My grandaddy built this church
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.
