“ A challenging message. ” We were part of Erroll's congregation many years ago and it's good to note that at the time of the delivery of this message he had lost none of the old fire. What need we have today of genuine revival.
“ Rich. ” Very good and rich material. A presentation of the Calvinistic views of Fuller on the Doctrines of Grace and his opposition to Arminianism, Hyper-Calvinism and Antinomisnism.
“ Great Sermon! ” Christians can believe in evolution if they want. But thats not what the majority of the scientific establishment mean when they say evolution. They mean a theory that has no purpose and that does not include God.
“ Interesting! ” Will this lecture be available online, by podcast, or SermonAudio for those unable to attend? It should be made available somehow because there are many who cannot possibly attend.
Will this exchange be limited or will the subject of slavery also be included in this "exchange" lecture? The views of Hodge, Thornwell (Who wrote The Church and Slavery), and Dabney all recognized the historic view contrary to most reformed pastors and churches today, especially New Calvinists (e.g. Piper) who make the historic view a virtual heresy, contrary to these better theologians.
And didn't Charles Hodge actually call R.L. Dabney "America's greatest theologian"? It seems like the defenders of orthodoxy were largely in the South.
“ Great man of God. ” Very good and helpful introduction to the life and ministry of a Baptist preacher about who I knew almost nothing. God gave great man to His church is past times - and we have what to learn from them and what to immitate in tehm.
“ Stand for the Word. ” This message is only about Luther, not about Zwingli. It discusses Luther's excomunication and the Diet at Worms. A courageous stand for the Word of God against all opposition.
“ Great testimony. ” A narrative of the preachers conversion, with new information not told in other messages, followed by an exposition of 2 Cor. 5:17.
“ Power of the Spirit. ” Only the Spirit of God can illuminate sinners and regenerate. We are total dependent on His working. We have to pray for His filling and His working, and to not depend on ourselves or on methods in evangelism.
“ Learning from Acts. ” Acts of the Apostles as a Manual of evangelism. The disciples prayed, preached and taught, not asked for decisional regeneration.
“ Great Sermon! ” I was there in the 60s, but I really didn't have a practical understanding of it until this evening when I heard Gary's sermon. God bless him!!!!
“ Great Sermon! ” I highly recommend this sermon! The translation and exposition of these Psalms is edifying and encouraging especially for those struggling in some difficult providence. What a great God who causes us to thirst for him, by leading us into dry places for a time, all so that he might lavish on us his love and grace and so show us his all surpassing greatness.
“ Need for revelation. ” A message about the futility of seeking to explain God or life without starting from the revelation God gave about Himself. We can know God only from what He revealed about Himself, not from the reason of fallen men.
“ Call to faithfulness. ” Following the faithful of old, we are called to be faithful to the faith delivered for the saints, in the midst of so many erroneous teachings in our contemporary setting.
“ Biblical. ” The sermon is 1 hour long, followed by Q/A session. We must preach a whole Christ to the whole man. We must be honest in our evangelism, as Christ was, telling the people not only their rights in the Christian life, but also their responsibilities and the hardness of it.
