Bobtalk

Columbus, Ohio
Franklin County Veterans Memorial Auditorium
Concert

Thank you. Right, in case you didn't guess, that last animal was a snake. I know some of you knew that already. Same snake that was in the Garden of Eden. Back then snakes walked on their legs. Well, actually they still do. Same snake that was in the Garden of Eden, same snake that previously had been Lucifer. High angel of God (....) fallen angel Lucifer. Anyway when you want to meet God, that must be when you on you’re guard the most. Cause he came down and he deceived me, didn't he? Didn't he do that? He deceived them ain't that right? When Adam and Eve gave the keys to this world over to the Devil. Well, that's why Jesus Christ had to go to the Cross right? Not only for the forgiveness of sins but to destroy the works of the Devil. So that's why it says, I think it's Romans 8, if that same spirit that raised Christ from the dead, dwells in you, shall quicken your mortal life. And you can be alive, lots of dead people walking around today, thinking they got to be alive. (before Slow Train)

Thank you. Thank you. Right, well you know they say the Bible says no word of God comes like a boil. (....) word of God in you tonight. I know there's a lot of people who don't know it. You see all the race riots and things they have been going on? Well, let me tell you the eighties are gonna be worse than the sixties. Anyway, if you want the word of God in you, I don't know about making it grow. But like, I, I don't know too much about farming but when the Bible talks about planting seeds on the wayside. And I know some of you out there are on the wayside. You hear the word of God, you gonna know you’re saved, you’re gonna receive all the gladness and joy. You know you may not have everlasting power, but as soon as you leave these doors, your enemy is gonna snatch it from you. He don't want you to have it. Then there's like planting seeds on the rock. I know out there there’s a lot of rocky ground. You gonna receive the word. You gonna walk out of here, but you gotta know yourself well enough to enable for it to grow. And it’s gonna die too. Then you plant seeds among thorns. And I know there's lots of thorns out there. Thorns are cares and riches of this world. They are gonna choke that seed and not let it grow . They’re just not gonna grow on that stuff, I still know there’s fertile ground out there. And it’s gonna grow. (after Saving Grace)

All right, thank you. On the keyboards tonight, give him a warm hand, from Muscle Shoals, Alabama Spooner Oldham. On the other set of keyboards from Birmingham, Alabama, Terry Young. On lead guitar tonight, from Little Rock, Arkansas, Fred Tackett. Playing drums tonight, from Tulsa Oklahoma Jim Keltner. On bass guitar tonight from Cincinnati, Ohio. Who only tonight said his first job was right here in Columbus, at the 7-11 Club. Is it still there? Tim Drummond. All right ladies and gentlemen from Dallas Texas, Clydie King. From Houston Texas, Gwen Evans. Ahh from San Francisco, Mary Bridges. Also from San Francisco Mona Lisa Young. You remember the girl that told you the story about Jesus? Can you hear me now? Put no other name before that name. That name will still be here when this Heaven and Earth pass away. John the Baptist baptized with water, Jesus he baptized with fire and the Holy Ghost. If you ain’t baptized like that right now, you just run out of here and get baptized like that. Anyway, from Nashville, Tennessee, Regina McCrary. (before Are You Ready?)
