There is no neutrality towards Jesus. Christ does not accept anyone who is not for Him. Passitive ego-centered sophisticated "objectivity" takes souls to Hell. We can't come to Christ with our intelligence, it requires the Spirit of God. If you stay away from church for 3 Sundays in a row, you are backslidden. Backsliders are deadly. Hollensen tells about neutrality in the seminary.

218 - 50th Ordination of Rev Baseler and 35th Ordination of Rev Hollensen (7/17/1972)

Advice from 28 years of preaching from the same pulpit. Keep spiritually fit. The thunder of God's Word from the pulpit. Only the church can give the message of hope. Let Christ shine. A Christian is one who makes it easier for others to become Christians. Liberties may jeopardize others. Pleasing everyone is not possible, but don't be a stumbling block. Have a heart for those who are crushed by the sins of their lives.

Rev. Hollensen's final words as pastor of Emanuel Lutheran Church.

God with us in human flesh. He humbled Himself in love to be our mediator.

215 - Emmanuel God With Us (12/24/1972)

About Melchizedek - not a Levite. Uninterrupted forgiveness. Communion is the most sure proof of forgiveness - nothing could be better. Feelings fluctuate.

214 - A Priest Forever, After the Order of Melchizedek (12/17/1972)

There is no luck, no chance - Jesus has all power in Heaven and in earth. Kingdom of grace - undeserved love. Spiritual capacities differ. Heaven will exceed our expectations.

213 - Thy King Cometh Unto You (12/10/1972)

Are our Christian dead happy? The First Judgement. Do they know what is going on here? The Second Judgement - the sheep and the goats. Our resurrected bodies will be like Jesus. We will know others and feel at home.

Reasons for - and lessons in - giving thanks.

211 - Oh Give Thanks Unto the Lord (11/22/1972)

Signs of the Second Coming. Destruction of the Temple. Wars and rumors of wars. Survival of the Jewish race. Hatred for the Church. The gospel to reach all nations. Why Jesus didn't reveal the day of His return.

210 - Watch - Be Ready for My Return (11/19/1972)

Just one way to Heaven, through Jesus Christ. The danger of being "broad minded" in this the most important issue. Universalism is a fallacy, but so also the assumption that the grace of Jesus will not cover the heathen who have never heard the gospel. Account of two young ministers who came to Rev. Hollensen seeking advice. Criticism of pastors by their congregation. Preach the fundamentals - the gospel. True repentence - what it means. Rev. Hollensen announces the recent death of two in-laws.

209 - One Way to Heaven - Jesus Christ (11/12/1972)

Higher education is not required in order to effectively share the plan of salvation. The hand of God in our adversities. Ordination of women is not biblical. Recollections of Rev Hollensen's first Sunday school teacher.

208 - Oh the Joy That Comes from Sharing Christ (10/22/1972)
