The Old Trailblazer Broadcast

This is the Old Trailblazer Broadcast. This is Pastor Albert Pendorfus riding out again on Old Dan.

Come on Dan, it's Friday morning. We've been out all week on the trail up and down this one hill and down the other and finding folks standing around the sawmill or the cotton gin or somewhere like the old trailblazers used to do. Spent the night on a couple of nights with folks along the way. Give you some hay and me a good breakfast and send us off on our way. I'm kind of weary this morning.

Friday we'll be back home later on this afternoon tonight. And the rest up for Sunday. Get rested up and get in the Word. Bringing God's message for Sunday. Preparing our heart. You know it takes preparation.

That's right. You know we ought to be more careful about God's Word than we are anything else in this world to make sure we give out the sound doctrine, the sound Bible, the sound word of reproof, and the sound word of encouragement to our folks. We have folks who write me, Dan, and tell me they want to be saved. I must be true to those folks. I must give out the gospel.

I must tell them how the Lord died to save souls. The scripture says there in Luke 19, 10, he said he came to seek and to save that which was lost. I've never heard anybody mention it really, but I kind of hone in on that word seek. The Lord not only came to save folks, but he came to seek. He came to find them.

And that's what we do here. Old Dan and I riding out on these old terrible roads here in the backwoods sometimes and seeking sinners. Seeking sinners.

That's right. One time years ago Pastor Shelton come out of the building. Had it on old hunting cap. It was cold weather.

Had an old cap with flaps down on it. One of the young men said, hey pastor, I see you got your hunting cap on. What you hunting? He said, I'm hunting sinners, son. I'm hunting sinners, son. Are you a sinner?

Old boy just bowed his head and said, yes, sir. I'm a sinner. He said, well, I'm hunting sinners.

Well, that's what old Dan and I doing this morning. We hunting sinners. We're looking at the soon coming of our blessed Lord.

And we saw there where the apostle was writing to Titus, another preacher whom the Lord has saved under pastor, under Paul's ministry. He said, for the grace of God that bringeth salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly dust, we should live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world, looking for that blessed hope. Oh my friend, that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and our savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us that he might redeem us. I love that word redeemed from all iniquity and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak and exhort and rebuke with all authority.

There we go again, my friend. Let no man despise thee. My friend, we're to speak with authority. God's man is the authority person. Here Paul speaks of that blessed hope.

That's what we're talking about. He says that the coming of our Lord is the blessed hope. And it is. And he commands Titus here and you and me to exhort and rebuke with all authority those who deny the second coming. I've never seen it fail yet whenever you find a preacher or a teacher who makes fun or belittles and tries to explain away the second coming of Christ, that you will find that he also explains away and denies blood redemption in Christ. Because these two doctrines rise and fall together, the second coming of our blessed Lord and blood redemption. In view of this statement, let me call your attention to this great scene.

Now you listen. Let us go back to the days when the Jewish people under the leadership of Moses were encamped there in the wilderness. The tabernacle had been built and set up, till the glory of God had filled the tabernacle and the Shekinah glory overshadowed the mercy seat. The Day of Atonement had come, and we see ere and there the high priests bring forth the sacrificial goat for a sin offering. The offering was slain, the blood taken, sprinkled there on the mercy seat. The blood made an atonement and reconciled the people ceremonially to God, covered their sin typically in His sight. This was called the Great Day of Covering, when the high priest took the live goat, called the scapegoat, confessed upon it the sins of the people, and handed over to a chosen man called the fit man, or the man of opportunity. This chosen man put a rope around the live goat's head and led it away into the country which was uninhabited. In other words, he led it out of sight of all the people. And while he was gone, the people stood in the doors of their tent, waiting for his return.

They expected him to come back. They believed that he would come back, and they knew he would come back soon for another year, for the people were ceremoniously cleansed and secured from the judgment of God, and that they would enjoy the fellowship of God. This is a picture of our blessed Lord, yonder on the cross of Calvary, our Lord Jesus Christ died as a great sin offering.

Let that soak in folks. He cried with a loud voice there, it is finished. It was that he announced that his covenant promise with the Father had been kept, that he had fulfilled the type and symbol of all scenes there in the wilderness at the tabernacle. As it is written, once in the end of the age hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. Our Lord Jesus Christ was both the offering, the sacrifice, and the high priest. As the high priest he arose, carried his own blood within the upper veil. There on the altar full of toma was made.

The Lord Jesus ascended there as the chosen man. Praise the Lord, he is coming back someday. Our sacrifice is within the veil. Our sins have been put away. As we gaze again believers, he is turned toward heaven himself, and we find as Paul writes to the Hebrews, unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin, that is without a sin offering, unto salvation. He is not coming back the second time as a sin offering. He came the first time as our offering.

The second time he will have no sin offering. Brother, this guarantees to every born again believer who claims him as a sacrifice, as a sin offering, as his scapegoat, as his substitute, that he is coming back for his own. Bless the Lord, he is my sacrifice. Praise the Lord, he is my sin offering. Thank you Lord, he is my scapegoat, who took away my sins, and he is my substitute who died for me. Living he loved me, dying he saved me. Buried he carried my sins far away.

Rising he justified me. Praise the Lord, he is coming someday, coming for his own, coming for me. Is he coming for you? Yes, unto him that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin, unto salvation. Now let me just take a moment here and ask you, Friday, we're going home in a little while Dan, let me just mention, folks you hear me all over this world, all over our nation and around the world, are you saved? Do these messages touch your heart about the second coming of our blessed Lord? He's coming folks. What is death to you? Is it going to be just a leap in the dark?

Is it my friend? Are you bound for heaven this morning or bound for that other place? Oh my friend, the scriptures say there's a heaven to win and a hell to shun, my friend. Someone has told me or written a story about somewhere on this earth there's a shaft that leads to hell.

I don't know that, I'm not sure of that, but this is someone's writing and they said over the door to that shaft there's a sign that says no more hope. No more hope, my family, my children, my grandchildren and no more hope. Someone wrote me the other day and said, pastor don't cry. Oh my friend, it's a crying time. Have you ever cried and wept over your loved ones, my friend, I have.

Oh in the dark of the night or many a night, wake up, can't sleep, bring every one of them, call them by name. Many of you, I call your name. Lord, deal with this one. Lord, save that one. Lord, come tender that one. Lord, give me that one as a trophy of thy grace. Lord, save this one.

Lord, don't let them go. Lord, have you ever done that, my friend? Have you ever woke up during the night and asked for your loved ones by name, call their name?

Have you done that, my friend? I tell my folks here, my congregation, when you get up in the morning, put your feet on the floor before you do anything else, say thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord, for a good night's rest.

Maybe it was a good night. Thank you, Lord, for a good soft bed, a cool pillar. Thank you, Lord, for a roof over my head.

Thank you for my family, my children, my grandchildren. Thank you for my congregation, Lord. Then I begin to call out your names, my mission folks there in Hattiesburg, there in Picayune, there in Mobile, there in San Benito, there in Orly. Oh, my friend, we have a group together together. Over the years, Pastor Shelton established mission places here and there in Yonderworth.

Two or three families met together in the home. He'd visit them when he could. And I've done the same thing. Over the years, many of our brethren now go out on Sunday night to the mission places, bring the message, just a simple message, Christ died for sinners, not no highfalutin, long, long, drawn out thing, no. You know it don't take long to bring God's message.

Sometimes I only speak 15, 20 minutes in the message. The Lord says, that's enough now, son, that's enough. Don't belabor your audience. Don't put them to sleep. Don't bore them. And I tell my brethren, don't bore the audience.

Don't put them to sleep. Ask the Lord for grace to do that. The Lord taught me that a long time ago.

And it's nothing more than just being kept too long. But the Lord knows how to teach us, don't He? But my friend, I'm asking you, are you ready to go be with the Lord? That's what our study is, coming of the Lord. He's coming after His folks. He's coming after us, coming after me and you, if you know the Lord.

And you don't want to be left behind, do you? Oh no, my friend, there's nothing in this world worth going to hell over. There's nothing, money and jewelry and fine homes and fine beaches, fine beach homes and condominiums and motor homes and all of those fine things.

There's nothing wrong with all of that. No, no, I praise the Lord for wealthy people that help support this ministry, people that the Lord has blessed. The Lord blessed me many years ago with a successful business and made it to where I don't have to take a sour out of this work.

I never have drawn a penny. And the Lord blessed me, never missed a meal, never had to go without a shirt on my back. And I have friends who love me and help take care of me and all of those things. But the Lord's love is the greatest thing, the love of God. Oh, my friend, the love of God that passes understanding. I can't understand it. I don't understand why the Lord would love an old sinner like me. No, I don't understand it. I don't understand it at all, but I know it because it shed a broad in my heart and I praise the Lord for it.

So I wish you would help me with the broadcast a little. We hardly ever mention that. But if you would, we could get out, buy more paper and ink, print all these messages and more CDs and blank CDs cost money, postage gone up, all of those things. But you know what? The Lord supplies the need. And I praise the Lord for it. He knows I'm not able to comprehend all those things. I mean, if we didn't have money, I'd be worried. I'm a worrying kind, my friend. But I do trust the Lord for all those things. I trust Him for you. And I love for you to call me to heaven.

You know, Pastor, the Lord saved this old sinner. That's the greatest message you can all have for me, my friend. Do that.

Would you do that? And then remember, I'm here next week at the same time. Be back Monday, old Dan. I'll be riding out. He'll be frisking.

I'll be praising the Lord. And I remember my mailing address is the Old Trailblazer, Post Office Box 1810, Walker, Louisiana, 70785. And my phone number is aircode 225-664-8658. I'm here every morning, real early.
