“ Great Sermon! ” Dr. Beeke calls this Doctrine "The cardinal doctrine of the Reformation. Justification by Faith alone. Justification freely in the very Blood of Christ Crucified. My first time listening to Dr. Beeke, I will be back again. This is sound doctrine and a good message worth listening to. All to often we either forget Justification or not seek it's teaching in the first place. This is a very good place to come to refresh yourself of it or just find out all about it. Thankyou Dr. Beeke.
I was greatly blessed and encouraged by the message from Ezekiel 36. What a wonder of His great love to Israel and us who burden Him daily with sin. I pray for God's blessing on your ministry to the extention of His Kingdom. To take Him at His word is so hard. I pray that God will take away my unbelief. I was blessed by renewed assurance through this message. Thank You and God Bless
“ Great Sermon! ” A wonderful message which we need to be reminded of over and over. An absolute must to hear for anyone who does not yet have assurance of salvation in Christ or someone who is trusting in something other than Jesus Christ for their salvation.
“ Wonderful Message! ” John Byl paints a picture with Scripture to show how blessed we truly are to have God's love upon us. Truly, our Lord's name is Wonderful!
“ Great Sermon! ” This sermon should be heard by every born-again Christian. I was a Pentecostal-Charismatic for 14 years. The Lord opened my eyes to the doctrines of grace in Dec 1989, and led me to the Puritans. I did not know of mortification and vivification until then, and am still learning daily to walk in newness of life. Dr Beeke's article on Meditation is such a gem to my soul. Please make it available to the wider Christian world. Thank you for ministering to us so faithfully.
Theologians are Baal worshipers We are speaking about the most grievous sin of breaking the first commandment. Baal - means lord, possessor,
Theology in not a Bible term. It originates as a category in the definition of philosophy as arranged by a pagan who lived hundreds of years before Christ named Aristotle.
Theology is the arduous mental reconciliation of the Bible with pagan philosophy. Using the half truth of the first mover concept of Aristotle, the Living God of Abraham and Jesus and the Bible is replaced by a god who is far away, outside of time. Not withstanding the solemn admonition of Jesus "call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven” Their spiritual fornication begins with the so called early church “fathers”. Origen finall
“ Challenging preaching ” Teach us, Lord to regularly examine ourselves.Encouraged to examine my own soul and life,praying that we may keep our hearts with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.
“ Nothing But The Blood ” Great Sermon!
The doctrine of this message is straight gospel. As Joel Beeke points out, the blood of Jesus is the thread that ties the entire Bible together. And that it's ability to bring us out of darkness and into the light is the basis for fellowship with Him and other believers. It was refreshing to my soul to hear once again how a sinner such as I can only stand before the Holy God in the righteousness of Christ alone. This is the first love to which all true believers must return. Is your heart hard? Are you weak? Are you burned out? Remember once again that unless you are trusting in the blood and righteousness of Christ alone, you are in grave danger!
“ Great Sermon! ” What a blessing to have Christ and Him crucified as our only glory. The world hates Christians because we have left their realm of glorying in the flesh to glory in Christ. People who are from two different worlds have nothing in common. "If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because you are not o f the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." -John 15:19
Praise God that He continues to grace us with preachers who still preach the doctrine of Christ crucified!
“ A Much Needed Exhortation. ” This is the kind of message that would have been heard more readily hundreds of years ago. But today, we live in times of apostasy which Paul spoke about in 2 Timothy 3:3-4. The subject of sin is okay these days as long as no one tells us what sin is. Tell us we're sinners, that's fine, but don't tell us that God requires us to forsake certain things. Jesus extended many faithful warnings concerning our sinful patterns and tells of the eternal consequences of our continued rebellion against God. This sermon is a must hear for all genuine and sincere believers!
“ Moving Sermon. ” As happens time and again when listening to sermons from Dr. Beeke, I was much impressed by this one. There was a convicting authority and a constraining power in it, as he lovingly and in a very plain way pleaded with children and young people. I think I can say I haven’t been a very difficult child to my parents, but I believe I never realised so deeply how MUCH I have sinned against them, as I now did. I felt I should obey Dr. Beeke’s pointer to ask my parents for forgiveness, today, not postponing it to tomorrow. “Behold, NOW is the accepted time, NOW is the day of salvation.” I realised something too, of my sinning against God Himself when sinning against my parents, because they are in authority over me by His ordinance. And if I sinned already so much against my parents, what must I have sinned against God, Who is yet infinitely higher, and worthier of my love and obedience! May the Holy Spirit convict me more, and drive me to the Lord Jesus! It is my fervent desire that many, especially children and young people, will listen to this sermon, and the Lord will bless it to bring them closer to their parents; that also many prodigal sons and daughters will return home to God and to their parents! “Where love dwells, the Lord commands the blessing.” (Ps. 133:3, Dutch Psalter)
