“ Great Sermon! ” Pastor McDearmon, I M H O may not have an equal in the English language for pressing the Bible to the conscience, as Richard Baxter wrote, to "screw the truth into people's minds." As I place this note on this sermon, it is playing on our online station www.wildernessradio.com I need these things continually. Prone to wander, Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love.
“ Strong Sermon! ” This sermon gives us insight as to the deepest meaning of the suffering that was involved in the tests and temptations that Jesus felt during His life amongst the people in the everyday lives they lived. The temptations presented by Satan, we don't understand the suffering that Jesus endured during those days, which are much greater than what we face. But we must know that with the Holy Spirit, we have the power to overcome them.
“ Revealing Sermon! ” This is an outstanding examination and explanation of some aspects of postmodernism and how it is affecting our society, and filtering into some of our churches. The overall affect of these types of philosophies is anti-Christ and strong false teaching that only serious study of the Holy Scriptures can prevent the falling away as revealed in the Holy Bible. This is an excellent resource sermon for further study on this topic.
“ Outstanding Sermon! ” This message gives us a simple, but total understanding of the changing of our cultural reaction to God's Truth, by the introduction of pre-modernism, modernism, and post-modernism. Pastor George does an excellent job explaining these 3 important historical changes.
“ So glad to have found this. ” I discovered this sermon today, looking for a sermon to recommend to the Pulpit and Pen Program's Voice in the Wilderness sermon From Pastor McD. I can't remember, before even finishing a sermon, calling three other people to talk about it...2 pastors {including our mutual friend A.N.M} and another friend. Then finishing it, and starting over to pray for God to help me as I listened a second time. At the one hour mark of this sermon I quote..."but if we are staying out late on Saturday night, and sleeping in on Sunday morning, preoccupied in the late hours of Saturday evening with newspapers,television and social occasions and all the rest: we are not going to bring the male of the flock, we are going to come here with something on the Lord's day morning lame and blind. Ill selected, ill prepared. You know that's the reality.
“ Great Sermon! ” I attended TBC when Dr.Robert Martin taught Hebrews in S.S. I listened to Dr. James White as he just finished Hebrews in Phoenix, through SermonAudio sermons. But Pastor McDearmon is the preacher I look forward to listening to in order to wake me out of my dullness as he goes through the 5 warning passages of this epistle. Will listen to these at work. May God use them in my life.
“ Excellent Sermon! ” Yet another excellent sermon in this series and another must hear!
Many thanks and blessings to you Pastor McDearmon and your ministry.
“ Excellent Sermon Series! ” A must hear series of sermons for all concerned Christians.
Bless the Lord!
And many thanks and blessings to you Pastor McDearmon, for preaching from the heart of the Lord God Almighty.
“ Great Sermon for any with hearing problems ” I was blessed to hear this message this last Lord's day and then on Monday received the Trinitarian Bible Society 'Quarterly Record Magazine' with the following article: 'Deaf People
Hearing': And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and
the eyes of the blind shall see
out of obscurity, and out of
darkness.
Isaiah 29.18
http://www.tbsbibles.org/pdf_reports/259-1.pdf#page=32
'you say but I am so deaf: the older I grow—not just in a natural sense but spiritually too—the harder of hearing I appear to be. Take heart, take heart: the day is coming that the words of our text will be fulfilled with glory and perfection, because â€in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness’. Then
you shall see the King in his beauty, and will hear His voice; and together with the elect, bought from every tribe and from every nation, you will exalt the King and magnify His grace for ever. Amen!'
“ Great Sermon! ” I listened to this for the 2nd time yesterday. There is a lot to comment on, but the words that affected me the most is an answer to the question, "what will it take for there to be a second generation of this church." Answer: As to our future prospects...perhaps the greatest danger not only to this Reformed Baptist Church but to Reformed Baptists generally...is the turning of the grace of our God into licentiousness. An incremental, subtle antinomianism, but that Reformed Baptists who know their confession will never admit, but in terms of their willingness to play with the world and to cover it illegitimately with the doctrine of "Christian Liberty," Since this message was preached in 1997, those of us who are witnessing the next generation 16 years later can assess for ourselves whether these fears have become, in some cases, reality. But what is interesting is to hear the assessment of a present generation about the preaching of the previous generation and I have certainly heard a "revisionist history" about the old paths we treaded and the seen some of these pastors marginalized.
“ Excellent Sermon! ” Paul has always been someone who I would look to for answering difficult questions, and Pastor George did a great job presenting Paul's walk in this world.
“ Excellent Sermon! ” Pastor George gives a strong, thorough explanation of how postmodernism fits in with the modern tower of Babel. Very detailed and fully understandable. I'll listen to his second teaching on this subject.
“ As good as it gets ” Pastor McDearmon preached this particular sermon in our assembly - Grand Rapids - Sunday night. There was one word I used to sum up his three messages here. "authority." I don't know another active preacher that reminds me as much of our mutual friend, Albert Martin. {where the McDearmons are visiting as I type this}. It had the desired effect. We often don't talk a lot about sermons anymore after the delivery. Not so in this case. My wife and I needed and received the earnest warning and admonition. I can't make good preachers known. I can give others a heads up, but I don't have an explanation why the best communicators and preachers are still too unknown in our day. But maybe like A W Pink, their labors will follow after them. God has a way of keeping us from spiritual pride. T M S, Grand Rapids, MI www.puritanaudiobooks.com
“ Great Sermon! ” Pastor McDearmon is helpful here in his definition of revival and awakening.(2)I certainly agree with him that the Ninevites experienced many conversions, not just an awakening and an outward reformation. The latter conclusion would fail to consider that an awakening that doesn't issue in a conversion renders the subjects more guilty. More light that doesn't result in conversion means that all reformation is done by mercenary motives, trying to appease a God that the heart is still at enmity against. This would make the Ninevites to have been more culpable. As the theologian A.H.Strong states that the soul is the most guilty the moment before it is regenerated because against more light than ever it is still at war with God.
That is precisely WHY the Ninevites will rise up in judgment against the generation that lived in Christ's day. Matthew 12:41 The Ninevites repented at the preaching of Jonah.
“ Awesome! ” This is superb sermon that is filled with insight. The account of our Lord's response to the rich young ruler has great relevance for our salvation today. Please share this powerful sermon with others.
