"Heal Me Oh Lord and I shall be healed save me and I shall be saved for thou art my praise that's the Christian confession that is the Christian stating his faith he is confessing his belief he is giving his testimony he is expressing what he feels in the depth of his being and in the recesses of his heart." [00:10:07]

"The first characteristic of the Christian is that he has a consciousness of sin that he is aware of his need of deliverance from sin it's absolutely basic and fundamental any person who resents a doctrine of sin it seems to me cannot be a Christian at all." [00:13:45]

"The Christian is a man who realizes that he is guilty of sins because there is sin in him that it isn't that he is all right but that occasionally does a wrong thing he realizes that he is wrong and therefore does wrong things that the trouble is not that the fountain itself was pure but that some impurity as somehow got into the stream after it had left the fountain." [00:21:05]

"The Christian is not only a man who realizes that he's ill and that he has need of healing he's obviously a man who also realizes that he's utterly hopeless and helpless in the matter of healing himself I'll go further he realizes that the whole world cannot heal him why well he cries out unto the Lord to that." [00:27:27]

"The Christian is a man who's gone beyond all that he's tried to reform himself he's made his resolutions he's often written it in a book and signed his signature to it he said I'm going to deal with this at last come what may I am determined and he takes up this and that he takes up his moral resolution he takes up his activities he's going to do good he's going to curb something else and so he tries in this peacemeal fashion to deal with his essential problem but he's tried it and tried it and he's more conscious of his failure at the end than he was at the beginning." [00:30:38]

"Have you realized that you can't heal yourself have you given up taking spiritual aspirin merely trying to get rid of that headache spiritually have you faced the disease and you got tired of just making yourself a little bit better for the time being but then going back and realizing that the disease is still there haven't you come to see that you can never extra Pate it that do what you will you can never get rid of this thing that's in the center of your being your whole nature being diseased in me that is to say in my flesh dwelleth no good thing." [00:34:05]

"The Christian is not only a man who realizes he's suffering from a disease called sin and that it is an incurable disease as far as he and all men are concerned he believes he knows that God can cure him and he has unshakable confidence in that salvation well why well in this way the Christian you see is a man who has come to see and to believe and to accept God's way of Salvation in the Lord Lord Jesus Christ." [00:36:20]

"The remedy I need is that which can bring me back to God I don't want a little more knowledge I don't want to be improved I want the Living God my soul thirst thirst after thee the Living God I want to get back to him I want to get to the place which men originally occupied and nothing else can satisfy me I'm made for that and I'm interested in no remedy except a remedy that can bring me back to God." [00:41:19]

"There is no Health apart from that God is life and God is health and I shall never be healthy until I'm reconciled to God and it is Jesus Christ and him crucified alone that does it and he's done it and he's done it for me and then I need I say new life and he gives it me in him is life and he asks us to come to him if we are hungry if we are thirsty if we are tired and he will give us life anew." [00:42:55]

"The Christian is a man who gives all the praise to the Lord who says I am what I am by the grace of God bursting is ended him the Glorious let him glory in the Lord I am nothing Thou Art all thou must save and thou alone the Christian is a man I say who gives all the credit and all the praise and all the glory to him who alone deserves it." [00:46:17]

"Are you a sinner saved Alone by the grace of God do you attribute to him all praise and honor and glory is he your praise that's the Christian confession are you a Christian had you ever realized the terrible disease is you're suffering from had you ever realized how hopeless and helpless you are had you realized what God in Christ has done and which alone can heal you and is it your innermost heartfelt desire this evening to praise him and to live to his glory." [00:47:29]

"Let every man examine himself but let us realize as we do so that if that is not our confession we are outside the life of God and if we die in that condition we will remain in that condition throughout each eternity without a hope in Endless misery and wretchedness in that horrible Eternal death of sin may the Lord have mercy upon us amen." [00:48:39]
