“ Powerful Preaching! ” Messages like this are why I love to be encouraged in God's Word by Timothy Gallagher above any other minister alive today. I am always tremendously blessed by this young preacher.
“ Incredible Sermon! A Must Hear! ” Pastor Jim Gables preached two messages in my absence while Lisa and I were ministering at Arctic Barnabas Ministry Family Retreat. He was available to preach when I returned... and what a blessing!
It's always a blessing to hear Bro. Jim expound God's Word, but I have to say... this has got to be my very favorite message of all time, if not the most important message for both myself and our congregation to hear.
Thank you, Brother Jim, for your ministry to the Lord, to His Word, and to His people!
“ Thank you for your encouragin comment ” Hi Brother Gary,
I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment, and such an encouraging one at that. May the Lord continue to bless and keep you.
“ Great Sermon! Excellent Witness! ” It is always a delight for me to hear you expound God's Word, Brother Mark. This exposition of Gethsemane was a particular blessing to me. May the Lord continue to bless and keep you, your family, and the Lord's congregation in your care, my dear friend.
“ Precious Sermon! ” It has been my distinct pleasure to know Granville Gauldin and to call him brother, friend, and beloved elder in Christ's church. A retired preacher, at 83 years young, he is one of THE most kind and humble of God's children I have ever met. I pray that his humility and kindness will be, if the Lord is merciful to me, virtues that may be added to my faith as I see them so clearly in Brother Granville.
As far as this message is concerned, I have heard preaching of God's sovereign election from some of the most mighty men used of the Lord in these days; yet, I have never in my life heard a message on election that is so precious in propositional truth or so sweet in sanctified doctrine as this message here. I have never rejoiced more in the security of my salvation by God's sovereign election than through this message delivered by Brother Granville. I was beside myself in the precious presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at the close of this blessed sermon.
“ Awesome Reminder of Christ's Love! ” Thank you, Brother Don, for that awesome and encouraging reminder of the eternal, undiminished and sovereign love of Christ!
May our Lord continue to bless you, your family, and all the saints at Lantana Grace.
“ Thank you, Wendy! ” Thank you, Wendy, for your encouraging words. I've passed them on to my dear brother, Aaron Acker.
It was certainly an honor and blessing to have him bring to us a devotional message from Psalm 23 at our recent Flowing Faith Conference. The entire time I was listening to this message, I kept thinking, this brother truly knows the Great Shepherd of whom he speaks.
May our Lord Christ continue to bless you and keep you.
“ Thank You! ” Thank you, Brother Lynn. You are a blessed encouragement to me, indeed! May the Lord continue to bless you in your service to Christ and your witness for Him.
“ Great Sermon! ” Thank you for the blessed message, Brother Darrell. It was great to see you again. May the Lord continue to bless you in your service to Christ and your witness for Him.
“ Awesome and Needed Message! ” That was an excellent and convicting message for many of us, Brother Don; things I could have done, and could still do better, by God's grace. It was also a tremendous blessing and privilege to meet you. May the Lord continue to bless you in your service to Christ and your witness for Him!
“ Excellent as Always! ” It is always a tremendous blessing to hear the Word from Brother Paul. All three messages yesterday were powerful. Don Currin's message prior to Brother Paul's came as a real one-two punch for all of us in attendance. I just happened to notice the time of the message as it was posted. The anointing of the speakers made every message seem like only a few minutes (I suspect for those submissive to those truths-- & probably seem like an eternity to those resistant to them). Thanks to Brother Dean Olive's audio team for posting these so quickly. I am so blessed to be a part of this Pastor's Fellowship.
“ Great Sermon! ” This message may be one of the best and most annointed presentations of the gospel I have ever heard. At the very least, it is in the Top 5.
I am grateful to the leadership of Heritage Baptist Church in Lake Charles for allowing me to post this blessed message of God's truth. May this message continue to be used for the glory of the cause of Christ and the furtherance of His kingdom.
“ Excellent Series! ” I downloaded this series and put them on CD when Dr. White put them up on YouTube. I've listened to them many, many times as there is always great encouragement from the messages and teaching of James White.
“ Excellent Practical Counsel! ” Thank you, Dr. Murray, for that very excellent counsel on Christian clothing. Practical and direct! This has been added to our Sovereign Grace Baptist Church "Must See" list, both for our young people, and their parents.
“ Great Question & Answers Session! ” It is always a pleasure to listen to the lessons from Dr. White. This one, however, was particularly touching to me because of the living example he gave of a couple in Phoenix who were comforted with the peace of the sovereignty of God through the loss of a child. As an elder in the church, I too, witnessed this blessed grace through a couple in Scammon Bay, who lost 2 young boys to the Kun River on the north side of our village. This week marks the 2nd anniversary of the boys' death; & the parents' testimony is still, "God is good."
Concering my enemies or the enemies of God, my heart breaks for them so as to love them and pray for them as the Lord commands, for all I can think is: there, but for God’s grace, go I.
UPDATE:My efforts to contact Pastor Drake have been unsuccessful, and that possibly due to his phone and emails being inundated as a result of the many articles circulating on the Internet.

Let us be reminded that the Bible commands us to pray for all men, with supplications, petitions, and thanksgiving (1 Timothy 2:1), which includes praying for, both, Pastor Drake and President Obama.
