Great Sermon! If you haven't read this letter, you should. It contains one of the clearest definitions of what faith is (seeing) that I have ever read. If it doesn't reach its intended target, it has touched me. Thank you.
I have finished reading/ listening to sermon on the open letter to Angus Buchan. I must commend you on your truthfulness to the Gospel. I am currently listening to a series on Ancient Heresies by Dr. James White and I fear Angus’ Gospel is merely physical bread people feed on, good for now, until hunger sets in again. This morning I read John 6 and it all just became too clear. What a waste to have all those people who listen and then you don’t feed them on the bread of life. Now I have to deal with half my colleagues and family who have been there this past weekend, how to handle it with love and truth, being true to the Gospel and not some man made message of positive thinking.
Thank you for that information. I am saddened to hear that. Unfortunately, I do not have a source for that article.
May God grant many more the grace to encounter the true Gospel in South Africa and around the world rather than selling themselves out to a cheap, powerless, moralism.
According to my cousin, he has listened to a radio interview with Angus (week before Easter 09 I think) where the presenter (person named Freek) asked Angus whether he would tell South African Muslims that they have it wrong concerning Jesus as being the only way to God and that one could not come via Mohamed for example. After some gymnastics from Angus (to avoid answering the question) and under duress as a result of pressure from the interviewer to drive an answer out of him, he responded by saying: “No I won’t tell Muslims they have it wrong...”. I have searched the internet for a transcript but could not divvy anything up. Are you perhaps aware of this, i.e. could you point out where we’re able to obtain such a transcript?
There are other things, such as a “heart shaped cloud” that apparently appeared at a venue Angus was talking at. I have also heard that Angus admitted that the woman in his Film (potatoes) was in fact never dead but that the film makers made her out to be to add sensation to the film in order to attract an audience. I could not find confirmation of these things, but obviously would like to obtain more clarity on them, because we all would like to understandfor the sake of educating ourselves.
Many Important Points In This Sermon! A very edifying sermon on practical holiness, who God is, and much more.
I saw the documentary on the man who lived with bears (grizzly bears, at that!), which you mention in this sermon. I could hardly believe that anyone would do such a thing and the video was quite startling to watch. The end was also as you mentioned. Reminds me of these Bible verses:
"These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God" (Psalm 50:21-23).
The truth will set you free and this is the truth! okay...i used to some crack and drink alcohol daily and then had the miracle of God delivering me from all desire. And this is the exact kind of insight that helped me along the way. I have been looking for a sermon to give to a friend who is still struggling and this is the one. I plan on listening and giving him the whole series. I have only listened to number 1, but I can tell the direction this series in going in and I would encourage anyone to listen to this sermon above all other addiction sermons. This is the truth that will set you free!
Thank God for blessing you with the insight that may save many!
Great Counsel This is a sermon series that needed to be not only downloaded, but burned to CDs at once.
Many sermons I hear once, Wayne Mack's counsel is so important - at least to our family - it needs to be digested by being heard over and over. This is a great addition to Sermon Audio.
