| 1993 A Nation Cut Short |
Discussion of the term “cut short”. How humans serve God better in pain than in prosperity. Multiple Biblical applications of this: If God did not cut short the time, even the remnant would not survive. When there is no shame, it may be too late to repent, be it a person or a nation. The sinful nature is not as much of a problem as the normalization of it. When sin is no longer recognized as sin, how long will it be until God cuts you short? Example: homosexuality. Yet, we can point the finger at Romans 1 when we’re guilty of Romans 2. An outstanding and unique view on “for the elect’s sake” in Matthew 24. With the increasing tolerance for sin, there will be no remnant left if God doesn’t intervene. |

| 93-01-30 We Have Sinned |
Daniel’s prayer from Daniel 9 and its application to the U.S. today. Billy Graham probably based his Clinton inaugural invocation upon it. “We have sinned and the curse is poured upon us.” The litany of social sins will cause the land to vomit the people out. A scathing condemnation of our country from the scriptures, especially concerning sex, greed, theft, bribary, government, the pastors, politics, the arts. “All of the things that the prophets said would come to pass against Israel will come to pass against us.” Dart first heart this from Herbert Armstrong and Garner Ted Armstrong. Dart asks, “Who knows how much farther we can go before God will cut our legs off.” (Given in 1993, how much closer are we today?) A very sobering sermon. There is a time to put your life right. That time is now. |

| 93-05-01 Grow In Grace |
1) Change is not necessarily growth. 2) Correcting error is not necessarily growth. Change for change’s sake is dangerous. Change based on God’s word is what should be striven for. Change should be one day at a time, which may not even be visible in the short term. How to write God’s Word on your heart. Grace allows us to work now on growing rather than working on atoning for past sins. The value of forgiven sins as badges of character. 3) You can’t grow by reacting against things. 4) Try looking at your world in terms of growth. |

| 93-10-30 A Prescription for Slander |
Tale-bearing is a sin. Just listening makes you an accomplice. “Tale-bearing is without a doubt the primary single cause of the breakup of churches, the separation of friends, the destruction of reputations, and the destruction of relationships.” Dart tells how to protect yourself and the church from the ravages of tale-bearing with one surefire, simple practice that will stop it in its tracks. What’s the big deal if someone sins? Are you sin-free? Is anyone? Then why do the details of the sin matter? Don’t strive to be “in the know”, make others fee important and valued, but not by tale-bearing. Dart never mentions the word “gossip”, but this sermon definitely applies to gossip. |
| 93-11-14 A Hard Road Ahead |
“Woe to those that call evil good and good evil.” Israel went down the same path – Dart applies this to us today and shows that society really is deteriorating. One example is the normalization of deviant behavior and calling normal behavior deviant. There is an absolute right and an absolute wrong and they are defined in the Bible. Unless you change now, you are likely to live your last day the same as you lived yesterday. Dart has an excellent explanation of the parable of the unjust steward and making friends of unrighteous mammon and how to apply it today. Also, the importance of staying close to each other in preparation for hard times. |
