Preaching on Hell

You hear very little preaching… 1977… I mean 19… Well about… I preached one week of the Western North Carolina Camp Meeting 1977. But about 5-6 years ago, I preached one week of the Western North Carolina Camp Meeting. They always have two weeks. And the last night… Could you believe, the last night of that old-fashioned camp meeting… You’re not supposed to preach a message like this on the last night of an old-fashioned camp meeting, especially if you’re expecting them to invite you to come back. But the Holy Spirit definitely impressed me to preach on hell and I was obedient. And I preached on hell. We had a number of folk saved; a number of folk saved.

On Saturday evening, preaching on hell, an old preacher… You know him, Brother Ken. An old preacher been preaching well over 50 years. He came down the saw dust trail after the invitation… Been preaching over 50 years; a warrior. He said, “Brother Allen, I’ve heard a lot of sermons the past year. I’ve heard hell mentioned in some sermons.” He said, “This is the only message I’ve heard on hell in over a year; only message.”

And in my study, in my library, no tellings how many outline books I’ve got. I’m talking about skeletons; not talking about sermons now. I’m talking about skeletons. I’ve got’n outline book; some of the greatest preachers in America. And Brother Ken, I went through that outline book. I’m talking about skeletons now. It’s at least that thick. And there wadn’t one outline in that book on hell; not an outline. Not one outline. Not one outline in that book! And the bible has much more to say about hell than it has to say about heaven. And don’t you know if God said a lot about a certain doctrine… HEY! He wanted me and you to say a lot about it. God help us now.

Greatest Evangelistic Field

You know what Dr. R. G. Lee said? Brother Doyle Turner heard him say it. Dr. R. G. Lee, President of the Southern Baptist Convention three times. He heard Dr. R. G.. I was told that he said it when he was preaching a meeting at the Concord Baptist Church, East Brainard, Chattanooga, Tennessee years ago. Dr. R. G. Lee said that he believed that eighty percent of the Southern Baptists was lost. Eighty percent. You know Dr. B. R. Lakin said before he went on to be with the Lord? Not a hundred miles from our home, some of our men went over to hear Dr. Lakin. He said eighty-five percent of the people that were being saved in his meetings was church members. Eighty-five percent. That’s what B. R. Lakin said. Dr. R. A. Torrey said before he went on to be with the Lord… He said “One of our greatest evangelistic fields is on our church rolls.” Church members that’s never been saved!

Sister Jimmy Getting Saved

In an old-fashioned country church, where heaven and hell was preached… and the gospel was preached… In a revival meeting, morning service… My wife made a profession… At the age of nine… Did not get saved… And she joined the church and she was dunked. You say now what in the world you talk’n about, dunked? Well, baptism is a church ordinance, isn’t it? How can you baptize somebody that’s never been saved? You dunk ’em. It’s a church ordinance. They go down dry sinners and come up wet sinners. But at the age of thirteen, in that same church, White Graves Baptist Church… It was an old-fashioned country church and it’s a miracle. Hey! It’s still old-fashioned. It’s still old fashioned. And at the age of thirteen she rode to church that morning on her father’s… on her dad’s pup wood truck.  And the man of God got up and preached under the anointing of the Holy Spirit and the power of God, and the Holy Spirit took the word, and my wife was pricked in the heart by the precious word of God. The Holy Spirit reproved her and drawed her. Hey! And she saw herself lost. Riding back home that day… She didn’t get saved that morning. But riding back home that day riding on her dad’s pup wood truck, she was afraid they was gonna have a wreck, she was gonna get killed before she could get home. When she got home, she didn’t go to the kitchen for di… She didn’t go to the kitchen for dinner. She went to her bedroom, got down on her knees… And right there in her bedroom, cried out for mercy. Hallelujah! Got gloriously saved. Hey! Got gloriously saved. Hey! Got saved.

(John 16:15) Conversion

You know the best time to count your converts pastors? Best time to count your converts is five years after the meeting. That’s when to count ’em. Count ’em five years after the meeting. Go back five years after the meeting and count ’em. (John 16:15)

George Whitfield

….ye must be borned again 3000 times…..ye must 600,000 conversions

 

Mrs. Joni Erwin

I was think’n. I was think’n just a second ago; just one second… About our organist… What a family, the Rickett Family. Her dad is still a deacon at the South Calhoun Baptist Church. He’s probably eighty six, still an active deacon. Mother went on to heaven about three-four years ago. What a family, the whole family, a large family. At the… Listen… Brother J. E. Glass preach’n for me, Brother Ken on a Sunday evening twenty-one years ago. Could you believe? Pastor, I still remember what he was preach’n on: Hebrews 12: 1 and 2. That’s what he was preach’n on. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us… That’s what he was preach’n on. I’m sitting up in the choir loft. You know how our choir loft is, Ken? I’m sitting up in that choir loft watching them young people back there; those little boys and girls. And if they get to talking… If I can just get their attention and look up at me, all I gotta do is look at ’em. And I’m sitting in that choir loft and I… and the awfulest burden come over me. Holy Spirit said when he gets through preach’n, I want you to preach. I said you… Yeah I want you to preach. Holy Spirit. So I came out of the choir loft and I sat down at the pulpit chair there up on the podium. Brother Glass knew. Brother Glass, when he finished preach’n, he didn’t give no invitation. He just turned it over to me. I got up and preached on Hell Wouldn’t Have Moved. You think that bothered me any? Went on home. When I got home, Mrs. Joni Erwin called; a school-teacher, very refined, precious person. She said “I got this awful burden.” She said “It’s the third time I’ve had it.” Said, “I had it one time at the Blackwood Springs Baptist Church. This is the third time.” I said “Tell me about when you got saved Sister Joni?” Bethlehem Baptist Church! Twelve years old! Hey! Look real to me. I said “The the only thing I know to do is I’ll go pray and you go pray.” And before I got through praying, she got saved and she called our home and she didn’t even hang… She was so excited… Now I’m talking about a very refined person; educated. She didn’t even hang up the phone. She was shouting through the house. That’s been twenty-one years ago. She’s still playing that organ. It’s holding good.
