81 What have you been doing, church? What’s your conditions tonight? When your hand’s raised up in your devotion, is there something checked you? If you’re flirting with the world, if you’re doing things that’s wrong, your kiss…
82 Think of it, man. Mister, I want to ask you something. And this goes for Miss, too, and Mrs. Young Lady, what would you think of your boyfriend, if you knew you seen him out kissing and going on with other girls, and you were engaged to him, and he come over and patted you on the hand, and say, “Dear, I love you only”?
You’d say, “You little hypocrite, get out of my view!”
83 What would you…? Think of it, Mister. We’re not only engaged, but we are married. The Church is married to Christ. We are the Wife of Christ, bringing forth children. How would you like to come home of a night, for your devotion to your wife, and she’s got a bunch of little children, and you find that day…? And when she comes in, oh, her nails may be painted (that is, if you’re of the world). You might…She might look ever so pretty, but you know. Think of it, brother, if that woman’s been kissing other men. If those arms that’s around you, telling you she loves you, and you know that that’s a…that she’s loved others too, her love is not true. Her love is not true. It doesn’t belong to you, it belongs to others also. If there’s any man about you, you’d scoot her off your lap. Think of what a feeling that would be. Think of it, lady, if your husband come home. Not only that, but packing diseases of immoral acts.
84 And, oh, bless your heart, the church is eat up with spiritual venereal, of all kinds of isms and everything else. It’s wrong! God, be merciful! Jesus is coming, friends. You ain’t going to have time one of these nights, or one of these days. You better check up now.
