“ Timely Message ” Thank you, Rev LoSardo, for this timely and vital message on the true nature of mankind, and of that great salvation wherewith He hath saved us.
If anyone just casually skimming this website who may have heard it said in "Christian" churches that God loves you just the way you are, please listen to this sermon.
“ Excellent teaching! ” Excellent, thorough teaching. While not stating it directly, this sermon is really about the Doctrine of Election. When given the "free will" to choose God or the robber-murderer Barabbas, Man left to himself will always choose anything but God. And so... praise God for sovereign Grace!
“ Great Sermon! ” very biblical. not a sermon to scratch itching ears. thank God for these people who continue to follow the instructions that the Lord gave to His people regarding the roles for each gender and not twist the Scriptures to fit their own ideas.
“ Great Sermon! ” Re: Anita's comment on 9/5/06. Yes, Anita, I know that we fundamentalists are against New-Evangelicalism, but much of Fundamentalism preaches the same easy-believism false gospel that we are against. Unfortunately.
“ A very practical sermon ” This is a very practical sermon that will benefit the entire body of Christ; as it is our desire to receive all that we can from God's Word in our local assemblies and be doers of the Word and not hearers only.
“ Thank you for a wonderful sermon ” Our hearts are heavy when we hear about what they did to Our Dear Lord and what he did for us. And there is also a joy in our hearts to know that our Dear Lord paid with his life for us. I know it should be me up there on the cross. Because I am the sinner and not him who gave his life that we may have the victory in him.
Thank you Dear Pastor Joseph.
“ WARNING!!! ” WARNING! If your desire as a Christian is to hold on to your man-centered pride then do not listen to this sermon. However, if you have the Spirit within you that cries, "Not my will Lord, but Thy will be done.", I encourage you to listen and allow the Word of God preached in this sermon to humble you before the Sovereign Lord. Hallelujah for the Lord our God the Omnipotent reigns!!!
“ Listen and Examine Yourself! ” There is a reason that Spurgeon preached more about false conversions than any other subject - because he realized just how many in his day in the church were not truly regenerated and as a result headed for hell! How much more is this true in today's apostate church. I cannot urge you more earnestly to to obey the Scripture and "examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?"(2 Cor 13:5) Do not assume that because you profess faith that you are bound for heaven - this is Satan's greatest lie, and he is fooling many in the chruch today.
Don't be fooled, rather make your calling and election sure. Find out if Christ does indeed dwell in you. Please listen to this study and consider forwarding it to a friend whose soul you care enough about to warn - they just may be snatched from the fires of hell.
But do not fear, if you are truly His, this sermon will provide you with much comfort as well.
“ Good For Self-Examination..... ” I do appreciate messages like this that gives the truth as it relates to the dangerous doctrine of the carnal Christian. It does seem to be just another excuse to live a life after the flesh, while claiming the insurance of salvation. It's deceptive, and we all need these kinds of sermons that remind us of the truth relating to the true Christian regeneration experience. There are too many confident professing Christians who may be in error as it relates to their salvation. Only the truth will set us free.
I was glad to hear him speak about how many carnal or nominal Christians like to only speak of God in terms of "love, love, love", while ignoring the fact that He is also a Holy God that hates sin and wickedness in men. This should cause trembling and fear in such false confident professors of Christ, but instead bringing out the truth of this will always cause the natural man to be hostile. Alot of Christians shun close self examination of their faith, but I am glad to hear from this sermon that it is a good thing to do; especially in such a deceptive and increasingly wicked time.
This sermon will be an important part of my audio sermon library. I am grateful to Elder Poss for the preaching of God's truth.
“ I Greatly Appreciate This Sermon! ” Wonderful exposition on the Kingdom of God in contrast to earthly kingdoms of men. Staying true to the scriptures, this message helps to dispell false Christian movements which seek to advance the kingdom through carnal means and carnal reasoning, in showing why they are unbiblical. It also helps the believer to gain a more clearer understanding of how Jesus Christ is already advancing the Kingdom, our real role in this, and the glorious aspects of it's future that awaits us.
I'm very appreciative once again for the pure preaching from God's word from this minister.
“ Very helpful ,clarifying sermon! ” ..There is so much misunderstanding and confusion regarding the doctrine of sanctification. This sermon has helped me sort out some of my own error in understanding this doctrine. A timely, thought provoking message. Well worth listening to. I have listened twice already. Looking forward to listening to the others in this series too.
“ Important Message! ” I greatly appreciate this message on how believers can and must always see the authoritative and divine word of God in the scriptures. It cuts to the quick in dispelling the lies of relativism. I appreciate this greatly as a believer.
“ Excellent Message! ” I truly give thanks to God the Father for graciously enabling Pastor LoSardo to wonderfully expound upon the rare message of the glory of God, and how we as believers have been given this glory through grace and truth. After recieving true revelation and understanding of this message, it cannot help but give the true believer an even more clearer understanding of our purpose here on earth as we await redemption, and an even greater picture of the eternal hope that is to come!! It cannot help but be a purifying hope, that sets a focus heavenward to the eternal glory that awaits us! So encouraging and inspiring a message!
“ A very good message ” A very good message on the mystery of Jesus being 100% God and also being 100% man. A doctrine that is not spoken of much in the modern Church. This message strengthened my understanding of this all important doctrine,
“ The Debate is Over! ” An excellent, comprehensive and concise study that lays to rest the argument of whom Paul speaks of in Romans 7 and calls those who do not agree to repentance!
“ wonderful sermon ” Great sermon, on a section of Scripture rarely spoken about . Good insight into the true meaning of service in the church. Very helpful for examination.
“ Some specifics on Doctrine of Election ” The sermon includes a very interesting Biblical word study on the word "draw" as it relates to God's drawing us to Himself. Also, there is a most thoughtful and penetrating discussion of the fallacy of attempting to apply man's logic to the "fairness" of election.
“ Timely Message! ” Self-indulgence and sufficiency is indeed a sin that puts the world in the Christian and keeps them from having the heart of God. I am grateful for this message. The heart that truly longs for and seeks after God, and seeing sufficiency in Christ alone is one who can be truly in this world and not of it. I pray that the Lord will give me more of a desire for Him and to know and understand Him.
Regardless of what the majority may do in Christendom, we can't look to the world's standards as a measure to judge heavenly standards. When we see, with a heart of true contrition, God's divine standards, through the finished work of Christ, we can rightly focus on the goal set before us with great reverence and love for the One who redeemed us. Glory be to God for this exhortative message of truth.
