“ Thankful for honest preaching. ” It is almost inconceivable that sermons like this go without comments. Having just finished the book, Fundamentalist Seduction, I would rather tremble at good warning on the 7th commandment than become hardened at this point. A former pastor I knew preached the most powerful sermon I ever heard on this subject, then plunged headlong into this sin. I kept his copy of John Owen's "Sin and Temptation" when I sold his library after he left the ministry. I kept it as a warning to me. His notes were in the margin. The man who preached at my wedding defected from the faith because of adultery. As Alleine wrote, "(An Alarm to the Unconverted) "oh be scrupulously careful here, your soul depends upon." false converts desire salvation from suffering—but they do not desire to be saved from sinning. They would have their souls saved—but still would have their lusts. They would be content to have some of their sins destroyed—but they cannot leave the lap of Delilah, or divorce the beloved Herodias. They cannot be cruel to the right eye
or right hand." I am a mailman. I have to see inappropriate catalogs daily. I depend on sermons like this to make sure the fire is doused at all times.
“ Great Sermon! ” Most excellent. I learned so much from this. Just recently was made aware of the different confessions so am studying them. The only confession I ever learned was the apostles creed as a catholic. Loved this teaching. Thank you.
“ Great Sermon! ” Bro. Kurt, this sermon, this message, the Spirit empowered way you presented it took my breath away. Toward the latter part I felt like l couldn't breathe as I tried to wrap my mind around afresh understanding that Lord Jesus is worthy of the reward of His suffering. I was holding my breath as I saw anew that I am the reward of His suffering. What grace that the Father would give His Son one such as me as a reward for His suffering. I am His and He Is mine. Trying to breathe normally again.
“ Great Sermon! ” I became Born Again in November 1997 during an Altar Call that was held during a Wild Game Feed at my brothers Non Denominational Church.
“ Great zeal for God. ” I found this message useful. I thank God for the dedication of Abraham Marshall to preach the Gospel, for his passion for souls. We have what to learn from him.
