Now, the sincerity. We don't have it. It seems to be such small interest. It should be in time of this jubilee, right now, after we know and are positive of these things, it should be that Shreveport would be buzzing like a buzz saw. The jail ought to be full, hanging out the windows, preaching the Gospel. The street corners ought to be full of men and women testifying to the power of God.
Yet, we believe it, we say. But we've lost the sincerity and the enthusiasm that it is to receive It. Now, that's the truth. That's exactly. And we'll never come back until we come down to that spot of appreciation of God making a way for us, and then calling us in it, and vindicating it to us by His Spirit and by His Word, that assurance that we have.

What a tragedy it is to see the churches in this condition. Not that I have anything against churches, but you see what I mean. Now, no sorrow, just the ritualistic form... And yet, Israel was using the Word and commandment of God.
And the churches today take the things out of the Bible. But there's no sincerity with it.
And when Israel begin to take the Word and commandments of God, and make it a ritual, that displeased Jehovah, the Giver of it. It was about that time when they made God's Word a ritual, that that mighty prophet Isaiah appeared on the scene. Read it, Isaiah 1. He was sent to Israel. They hated him and finally sawed him to pieces.
But what did he do? He stripped them. He said, "Your solemn feasts God has refused." He said, "It's become a stink in His nostrils." What was it? The feast that God ordained for them, the new moons, and the Sabbaths, and the offerings of sin offerings, and so forth that God had given to Israel, they had made a tradition out of it. That's right.

Oh, church, do you see what makes a minister's heart break? When the Pentecost that He gave us, we've made a tradition out of it. The sincerity has faded from the church. Oh, I don't say all of it, thank God. The sincerity is gone. People can't listen to it no more. They don't want to hear it. They'd rather get somebody that's got more polish. They don't want it. Well, just as it was then, so is it now. But God sent them Isaiah, and he pulled no punches.
