=== Why We Need Bible Literacy (02:28) ===

[00:00:00]  Most people aren't reading the Bible anymore.
[00:00:02]  They go to happy church.
[00:00:05]  I watched a little television, a little Christian television now and then.
[00:00:11]  Do you know some of the major preachers?
[00:00:14]  They're praying, they don't even pray one and complete sentence.
[00:00:20]  They say, Jesus, come into my heart, Amen.
[00:00:22]  Well, if you prayed that prayer, write me right now and let me know because you're saved.
[00:00:27]  No, you're not.
[00:00:31]  Well, maybe you took the first step, you know, but you have to go on with taking up your cross.
[00:00:41]  You need to start reading the Bible, people.
[00:00:44]  That's the reason we have hell in a lot of churches because we've got a lot of unsaved people acting like the devil because they belong to the devil.
[00:00:54]  What does the Bible say?
[00:00:55]  My Bible says, work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
[00:01:01]  And it says something to the effect, but if we barely make it, then you know what I mean?
[00:01:06]  It's like, what is it going to be for the world?
[00:01:09]  We're preparing a program and a lot of programs on the keys of salvation.
[00:01:15]  You have to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
[00:01:19]  You don't just say, come into my heart, blah, That's it.
[00:01:23]  You're saved.
[00:01:25]  You have to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
[00:01:28]  That he died on the cross.
[00:01:30]  He rose from the grave.
[00:01:32]  You have to confess your sins.
[00:01:35]  Oh, there's so much.
[00:01:36]  You need to love your neighbor.
[00:01:37]  You have to forgive everybody else.
[00:01:45]  Oh, my God.
[00:01:45]  You mean not just me?
[00:01:49]  There's a lot more to being saved than just blah, blah, blah.
[00:01:53]  You have to understand what it means.
[00:01:57]  You can't judge each other.
[00:02:01]  If you don't forgive, you will not be forgiven.
[00:02:06]  Forgive me.
[00:02:08]  I've got 90 days.
[00:02:11]  According to my prophet friend, John Kilpatrick, I got 90 days to be on point.
[00:02:18]  I want everybody to be saved.
[00:02:21]  But the problem is we're not reading the Bible.
[00:02:23]  That's why we're not prepared.
[00:02:24]  You don't know what's coming.
[00:02:27]  We haven't read the Revelation at all.
