Job 14:1–22 1 Man that is born of a woman Is of few days, and full of trouble. 2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. 3 And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, And bringest me into judgment with thee? 4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one. 5 Seeing his days are determined, The number of his months are with thee, Thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; 6 Turn from him, that he may rest, Till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day. 7 For there is hope of a tree, If it be cut down, that it will sprout again, And that the tender branch thereof will not cease. 8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, And the stock thereof die in the ground; 9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, And bring forth boughs like a plant. 10 But man dieth, and wasteth away: Yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? 11 As the waters fail from the sea, And the flood decayeth and drieth up: 12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, Nor be raised out of their sleep. 13 O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, That thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, That thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! 14 If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my appointed time will I wait, Till my change come. 15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: Thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands. 16 For now thou numberest my steps: Dost thou not watch over my sin? 17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, And thou sewest up mine iniquity.

“ Religion everywhere! No truth to be found... ” Dear Brother Don, The message you expound in this sermon is so vital! Thank you so much for your succinct delivery of The Gospel of Sovereign Grace. When a prominent Columbus businessman died recently (he had become very wealthy selling his fast food restaurant franchises worldwide), his church buddies wrote their condolences in an online obituary guestbook. One man wrote, "We'll miss you, pal. Good to know you're up there teaching God how to make hamburgers." This is sickening to anyone who truly knows that hell awaits the sinner! As you said, this sentiment is prevalent everywhere in our society. Everybody who dies is "in heaven", no matter how they blasphemed the LORD in their life, no matter how they hated Him, His people and the truth of His Word. They all are in heaven now. "RIP, better off now." On and on! We pray that the LORD will prosper the preaching of His Truth in this hour. God bless you and all His preachers and teachers. He promises that our labors will bear fruit unto eternal life! We love the video. The last time we saw you preach in person was in 1995, when you met us and some other folks at a hotel here in Columbus.
