All right, here are the 12 quotes from the transcript:

"Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door saying, Lord, open to us. Then he will answer you, I do not know where you come from." [00:01:31] ( | | )

"We shouldn't be concerned about the number of people that are going to be saved. We should be concerned of, am I part of that number? Know, we worry about everybody else's salvation. We become salvation keepers, you know? And do we check on our salvation? Do we check what that looks like?" [00:04:06] (24 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


"The world will tell you there's many ways to get to heaven. The world will tell you there's just not one way. Because we live in a world that has so many choices. We promote so many choices. We teach so many choices in everything. That we become accustomed to everything is a choice. But everything is not a choice." [00:05:05] (27 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


"There is no other way but one way to get into the kingdom and through that door. You see, what happens is when we talk about the narrow path, the narrow gate, the narrow road, the world wants to perceive us as narrow-minded. That we don't explore outside of this little box. But being narrow-minded, it's not bad." [00:06:09] (25 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


"Being narrow-minded is a good thing. Being narrow-minded will keep you on a track. You know, I don't know about you, but if I'm on an airplane, I don't want my pilot to be wide-minded, right? I don't want him to have all these opinions. I don't want him to say, okay, you've been cleared to go to runway one." [00:06:34] (25 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


"This know means an intimate love from God and so what he's saying here is I don't know where you came from there was no relationship we don't have an intimate relationship I don't know you you don't know me and so when he knows us he knows us intimately that's why he uses that word I don't know you it's because that relationship is not there."

"There's going to be a day when he comes that no one else will be saved. Do you know that? There's going to be a day when no one...and this is just not a message on when he comes, because we all have our appointed time here on earth. And we don't know when that is. We don't know. This bridegroom, he represents Jesus." [00:17:58] (26 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


"It doesn't matter what your title is, the works that you did here on earth. If you don't have that intimate relationship with him, it doesn't matter who you are. You're not getting through that door. Job 14 .5, this is in the NLT translation, says, you have decided the length of our lives. You know, how many months we will live, and we are not not given a minute longer." [00:19:25] (36 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
