“ Great Sermon! ” Super sermon. But I can't help thinking preachers need to move with the times. All we seem to hear about is sodomites. What about the lesbians? A recent survey found that 23% of men have had or would consider a same-sex experience. For women it was 60%! Another study: a whopping 50% of females born in the nineties will have had a same-sex experience by the time they are 25. Shocking. You say homosexual lust is all-consuming and very powerful. Not surprising then, that we have been flooded with erotic and sensual imagery of women for decades. Satan is putting women under tremendous pressure, every other film from Hollywood seems to be a lesbian love story. Lesbian weddings out number gay weddings by up to 3 to 1 and more. This is just the beginning. Come on preachers. Save the women!
“ GOD HAS SPOKEN LOUD AND CLEAR !! ” God says that marriage is binding until DEATH. It is a violation of HIS WORD to divorce and remarry. The Jews had the custom of betrothal. During that period, the man was called the husband and the woman was called his wife, though no marriage covenant had yet been established. To end a prospective marriage, a legal divorce was required. This is why the exception clause is only found in Matthew's gospel as it does not apply to Gentiles who had no such custom. The "exception" spoken of by Jesus in Matthew 19:9 means what it says--divorce is only permitted for the cause of porneia (fornication) during the betrothal as that is not putting asunder what God has joined together. After a marriage has been entered into, the only action that dissolves that covenant is DEATH. God makes that crystal clear through the writings of the Apostle Paul in Romans 7:2-3. Those who divorce and remarry are denying that their first marriage is still binding in God's sight. HE IS THE FINAL AUTHORITY on the matter, not man! And, He has further said--"...adulterers...shall NOT inherit the kingdom of God." 1 Cor. 6:9-10. Take the matter of divorce/remarriage very serious because GOD DOES!! He's a "hard-liner"!!

“ Daring, Timely Sermon! ” And wasn't Hurricane Sandy, on virtually the political eve of the Nov. 6th elections, a warning shot across the bow of America from heaven? What should happen should heaven open up its full artillery as it did on Sodom and Gomorrah? Is not the "wrath of God revealed from heaven against the unrighteousness"--blatant, shameless, "pride"-promoted, and now legalized unrighteousness (thus calling evil good, and good evil)--of America? Will God be mocked and his holy justice (righteousness revealed by the standard of his Law that is ratified and "established" by the Gospel) reviled and defamed without consequence? Is God impotent or omnipotent? How will it go for them, or this or any nation, that call holiness "hate" and unrightousness "love" and "good"--those who are "forward" to shake their fist at their Maker or pretend that Jesus was a timid, unholy, nonjudgmental, unrighteous preacher of "social justice" or "equality" of those who act wickedly, as if they are the "poor" and "afflicted" of the earth, instead of the oppressors and degraders of themselves and slaves to sin! "For by what a man is overcome, to that he is enslaved" and "for these things the wrath of God comes upon the children of men". The LORD answers in the psalm: "To the Forward, I will show myself forward"!
“ Who has ears to hear... ” The speaker has spoken plainly a warning. Who will you vote for when Salvation requires Repentance....anyone standing on repentance???
There is no vote worth giving without first undersatnding the place of Eternity in a sin filled, depraved political platform that denies the Word of God.
Where will Obahma spend Eternity?
“ Great Sermon! ” This is not popular message today's evangelical churches ,but this what the Bible exactly is saying. Thank you pastor John .I'm praying for your ministry that God will strengthen you and your ministries
“ Politically-Incorrect but true! ” What is unfortunate is that many of the most conservative (including "reformed") pastors today have capitulated to the democratic and humanistic philosophy of a pretended "equality" as well as the pragmatism of (materialistic) "necessity". It is pastors who are afraid to teach this and, in fact, openly mock this clear position as if "workers at home" were stricken from their Bibles.
Younger pastors especially have their wives working outside the home to supplement their very modest salaries, so are leading by wrong example in total lockstep with the world. Thus, while most churches claim to oppose Feminism they practically are submitting to and embracing it entirely in their families. This is destroying families and marriages, and children are sacrificed on the alter of Money-loving and "lifestyle". Divorce rates are equal with that of non-Christians as wives roam around in the world apart from their Bible instructed duties, while it is considered "normal".
