Thank you. Alright, last chance for you to come view these shows before you read the newspaper.
Cause they say all kinds of things. Usually they’re not true. Not too encouraging you know.
Reporters they either don’t know about it or some religion barrier.
Or they may think they know about it. They think of God as a friend, that’s as far as it goes.
They don’t think of any morality at all, or gender. I know some relationships have gone
wrong haven’t they? I know mine have. Children can’t get along with their parents.
Parents can’t get along with their children. Can’t get along with their boss Can’t get
along with wife or relationships. Or Satan or ….. The Bible says God gave Christ as
reconciled the world to him. And got to get a relationship with God if everything else
is falling o bits. Don’t you worry about the country now, cause the Bible said
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the council of his own country.” (before Slow Train)

Well, thank you. Who knows that sometimes we expect too much of someone and they let you down?
I hear a couple, just a couple. For you to trust and let you down. That’s a decision.
Most of you show me the side you wanna show me. But I say you’re in the same position to.
There’s only one name that can save you. Only one person who went to the Cross for you.
And you can take it or leave it. Now we don’t believe in a Heaven and Hell.
You just die, you’ll find out, remember that. When you came into this world what did you bring.
What did you bring with him when you came into this world? What are you gonna take with
you when you leave. You ainít gonna take your baggage with you. Youíre not take your bags,
not gonna take your attitudes, not gonna take your prejudices nor pride. None of that,
youíre taking none of that with you. You go all alone. (before Solid Rock)

Alright thank you. On the keyboards tonight from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Spooner Oldham.
All right on the other set of keyboards from Birmingham, Alabama Terry Young.
On the drums from Tulsa Oklahoma, Jim Keltner. From Little Rock, Arkansas on lead guitar
Fred Tackett. On bass guitar from Cincinnati Ohio, Tim Drummond. From Dallas Texas
Miss Clydie King. From Houston Texas, Gwen Evans. From San Francisco Mary Bridges.
Also from San Francisco Mona Lisa Young. Remember the young girl that told you about
Jesus earlier? Wasn’t that long ago, about 6 hours or so? Yeah. We all got a lot of food,
but you ain’t missing food you need spiritual food. And you might never hear that name
again but remember you heard it. Jesus is a part of yourself of anything.
You got a health problem, you got a money problem, you got love problems.
John the Baptist baptized with water, Jesus baptized with the Holy Spirit, it’s a
little different. Anyway, from Nashville, Tennessee, Regina McCreary. (before Are You Ready?)
