The Suicide Of A Soul
Adrian Rogers
Alright, I want you to take your bibles please and turn to Mark, the tenth chapter . I trust that you brought a bible with you and if you didn't there ought to be a bible there in the pew rack. Would you please get it out and find the gospel of Mark. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John is the ground we're standing on and Mark is the second book in the new testament.

Thou knowest the commandments, do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not bear false witness, defraud not, honor thy father and mother.

Then Jesus beholding him loved him and said unto him, one thing thou lackest, go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor and thou shalt have treasure in heaven and come take up the cross and follow me. He was sad at that saying, and went away grieved for he had great possessions."

Now, what happened to this young man is the basis of our message today that I'm going to entitle the Suicide of a Soul. I want you to see this young man with his desire that he had, which was a desire for eternal life. And I want you to see his decision, and he made a tragic decision. Then I want you to see ...
