A Word of Warning From 'The Golden Age of TV'! Though this message is dated 1993 in the description above, it actually dates to the late 1960s/early '70s (judging by references to Vietnam, the large number of Westerns on TV and the growing popularity of color sets). This message contains two separate topics: family worship for the first 34 minutes, with the remaining 25 addressing television in the home. It is fascinating to hear Pastor Wilson warn of the dangers of television programming from what we now consider a more innocent age and one some Christians turn to on DVD or TVLand for supposedly family-friendly shows. Even after 40 years, much of what Pastor Wilson says is still relevant. His warnings against using the TV as a babysitter and simply turning it on to relax without even knowing what is on are as timely now as then. I appreciated his encouraging Christians to leave it off on the Lord's Day. (A message too few heeded: If I remember correctly, Bonanza and The Wonderful World of Disney torpedoed attendance at Sunday evening services, which services are now held in only a handful of churches). An excellent complement to Wilson is Neil Postman, who long ago warned of the threat of television to the art of conversation and to sustained listening. No wonder so many church services resemble gaudy TV variety shows.
Great Sermon! Truly a great message from this servant of God. This was preached in 1994, and since then more delusions have spread about being born again. Many today say it is making your decision for Christ, but the truth is; it is a magnificent work of the power of the Holy Spirit. We need more preachers that will preach the true doctrine of regeneration!
Convicting Sermon I first thank God,and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit for using Pastor Martin to deliver a message for such a time as this. This message should make every professing Christian and non-believer cry out to God and ask for mercy.
Great Sermon! very powerful message heard today, 4th Jan. 2010, by Pastor Albert N.Martin, most challenging for every believer, a must-hear! The only reservation was that no mention was made of the chosen elect of God.
But how needful to have such a heart-moving message. Thank you Pastor Martin. Hope to hear more from you.
Great Sermon! I've heard this Matthew 7 message, by different pastors over the years, but none can compare to Pastor Martin's expounding on this passage. I would go as far as saying, if a professing Christian is not moved by this, he has not the spirit of God. Powerfully convicting!

Great Sermon! This is a wonderful sermon, any man worth his salt should listen to this. Bother Martin's boldness and Spirit filled emotion made it truly a privilege to hear. I will do my best to get every man in my congregation to listen to it.

A must hear! I fear there are increasingly fewer reformed baptist ministers [and I am one] who would preach such a message. In such a day of confussion let us preach the truth plainly. This is "relevant" preaching [well before the term began an in thing]. If this was truth in 1981 who or what has changed? Has man changed? Have our children changed? Has the Bible changed? Let us return to the old paths. Let us preach the gospel and its implications plainly. May God help us!

Penetrating and powerful Within a few moments, Pastor Cook has your attention and you are eagerly following the story of Christ's gracious but pointed dealings with the woman at the well. We watch as Christ draws near to this needy woman and brings the good news to bear on her soul; simultaneously, Pastor Cook does the same with those hearing this sermon. Warmly recommended.
Great Sermon! Back in 1986 for the first time i listen to brother Martin " what is a biblical christian" from there on he's become one of my favorite preacher that preaches the whole counsel of God. here is another great sermon to the glory of God. he uses God's hammer to drive the nail of Sola Scriptura!!! Amen!!!
Great Sermon! Adam came from Dust but jesus is Lord from heaven,
God said to adam " till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."
we are all earthly and were in adam when God cursed him, all our bodies go into curruption,
Lord jesus came from heaven and was made of the seed of David,
He is not in the Adam or Abraham nor in the David nor any human being like apostle paul said, "Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him."
I know it is impossible for Lord Jesus body go into curruption because he is not under that Curse of God on Adam and whole world that is in Adam (all humans which were children of Adam),
Our Lord by his Resurrection from the dead truelly proved to be the Son of God and that he is from Heaven above and he is not earthly like us,
Our Lord Jesus proved he alone is only from Heaven above, as he Said while he is on Earth "no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven,
Except him there is no Hope for Life to any man,
We see our Lord as our Life and Eternal Life which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us,
Our only Hope,Life,& Everything
