0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.
0:20.3	Well, I hope that yesterday's episode compelled you to come back. If so,
0:24.2	welcome. This week, we are looking at Charles Spurgeon's great sermon called Compel Them to Come in.
0:29.3	The center point of that sermon is the parable of the Great Banquet told by Jesus that we see in Luke 14,
0:34.4	verses 12 through 24. Let's go back to Spurgeon here. This is towards the end of his sermon,
0:39.5	so the gloves are off now. Now I turn for one moment to some here. There are some of you here
0:44.9	members of Christian churches who make a profession of religion, but unless I be mistaken in you,
0:50.4	and I shall be happy if I am, your profession is a lie. You do not live up to it. You
0:57.1	dishonor it. You can live in the perpetual practice of absenting yourself from God's house,
1:02.4	if not in sins worse than that. Now I ask such of you who do not adorn the doctrine of God,
1:07.8	your Savior, do you imagine that you can call me your pastor, and yet that my
1:12.3	soul cannot tremble over you and in secret weep for you? Again, I say it may be, but little
1:18.4	concern to you how you defile the garments of your Christianity, but it is a great concern to God's
1:24.2	hidden ones who sigh and cry and groan for the iniquities of the professors of Zion.
1:30.7	Your profession is a lie. Now, this might sound a little judgy to a sensitive person's ears,
1:37.9	but my goodness, this is refreshing to me. In a sermon about the command to compel people to come
1:44.1	to their Heavenly Father's great banquet,
1:46.3	to meet him in his kingdom, Spurgeon pulls absolutely zero punches. He looks at his congregants
1:52.2	and tells them that, for some of them, their quote unquote faith is vapid. It's non-existent.
1:58.2	They profess it, but it's a lie. To go even further, the prince of preachers
2:02.8	calls them out for missing the gathering of the saints at church and for not keeping to sound doctrine.
2:07.8	With that in mind, let me remind you of these words from Jesus and perhaps the most terrifying
