“ Great Sermon! ” This message is beautiful. Still looking for a reformed church in my area where people display joy and lift their hands when they sing. I was regenerated six years ago and I aim to spend the rest of my life attempting to get a small glimpse of all Christ accomplished
“ A lovely uplifting message! ” Thank you for this very encouraging message brother, Matthew.
Lots of food for meditation and prayer.
Truly, this sermon is a ‘still small voice’ in itself.
“ Thanks for Addressing 'Lent' ” Thanks for your thoughtful consideration of a timely topic. I do agree with what you've said, but I'd like to add another point.
I'm involved in a little Baptist church, in a small town. Other than a tiny Brethren chapel (half a dozen people), we are the only evangelical work in the community. Each year, all the churches (liberal, Catholic, and all) are called upon to unite for ecumenical services and a luncheon, once a week, during Lent.
Our church does not participate, and receives criticism for this--even from one individual in our own congregation. The argument is that we are being "stand-offish," with the implication that we think we are too good to associate with others.
Yesterday, I was told that, after all, we're all trying to get to the same place (heaven). In other words, other than a few cosmetic or stylistic differences, churches are all the same. But this is precisely why I believe it's wrong to join in. It gives exactly that impression, and, in effect, expresses tacit approval of churches that do not preach the gospel of grace.
Thanks again for your message. God bless.
“ This sermon means much to me ” This sermon touched me deeply. Since
much of my daily contact is with
"lost" people, I'm taking a serious and
deeper approach to studying the Holy Scriptures to give me strength to
deal with the "lost." I'll start to
incorporate daily prayers for dealiing
with them as Jesus would.
May God give me the strength and knowledge every day to have the Holy Spirit direct me.
Praise Jesus Christ
“ Great Sermon! ” Thank you for this message. This is a subject that needs to be addressed. People need to be taught that Lent is a Popish practice not found anywhere in scripture.
