Kids, you, each one, seem like mine. You, each one, seem like just my sons and daughters. In one way, you are, see, spiritually speaking. That's right. The Lord God has--has put your souls into my care, because you come, listen to me. You believe me. See? And in one sense of the word, you are my sons and daughters. That's right.

Always remember, keeping the commandments of God is a great thing. Being raised in a good home is a heritage from God. And to be fine kids with personalities as you have, good. Wonderful, to have an education. It's wonderful to even live in this free land. We got many things to be thankful for.

But there's one thing that you just don't inherit. You've got to accept It. That's Eternal Life. And you'll only do that by following Jesus, by a born-again experience. Don't neglect that.
