Great Sermon! A 'must-hear' sermon from Dr. Stephen Jones. One of the best I have heard on the topic of covetousness. From the time God saved me back in 1986 I have found this evil sin to plague my heart on and off. There is no getting rid of it as it is woven into our depraved hearts and our very being - "for out of the heart proccedeth covetousness" said the Master; and it is the Christian's duty to subdue and rule over it.
This was Sodom's sin and it is pretty much the plague of Christians the world over -
"Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy." [EK 16:49]
Our prayer should be "Incline my heart unto Thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken Thou me in Thy way." [Psalm 119:36,37]
God's Manhunt I 'stumbled upon' Dr. Farrell's preaching within the past few weeks, and have been blessed, challenged, and instructed through his sermons -- have thoroughly enjoyed listening to him!
Great Sermon! The thoughts in themselves are sin
I agree also with Dr Hamilton
Jesus said whoever looks as a woman lustfully has committed already committed adultery.
Great Sermon! Thank you for your sermon! It was helpful, especially in evaluating a movie ("The Greatest Showman") about P.T. Barnum. Barnum has been lauded for having family-friendly entertainment, and "The Greatest Showman" has been highly recommended by some Christians. Being anxious to find out more about this movie, I watched a trailer and was surprised to see women immodestly dressed and sensual dancing. Your sermon confirmed my conviction that this kind of entertainment has no place in a Christian's life. As a Christian, I want entertainment that will help me focus on the Lord and worship Him in the beauty of holiness (Psalm 29:2). But this is not possible if I'm looking at women in clothing which exposes or draws attention to parts of the body that are sexually stimulating, especially when there is sensual dancing. But that's just one problem I have with the movie. Your sermon along with Robert W. Reed's sermon "Entertainment" helped me to see other problems and be more discerning in my choices for entertainment.
Great Sermon! Wanting to know if this is my grandfather preacher Bill Hall he was a preacher and a husband of a woman named Maggie Rose Hall and his son was Miles and Xander Hall
Tremendously blessed thank God. Mark you delivered this address from Bob Jones University I am nor sure when but I was listening to the recording this morning (25-5-2019 very early as I am in the process of helpinga small church reformul;ate its foundation after many splits and troubles with leadership etc. I am not the pastor but have been a missionar Evangelist and pastor over fifty years now in so called retrement. However I have been requested to help this now very small church but all eager to live according to the Scriptures and be part of a church which is absolutely grounded in Scripture. Your address thrille me as I have a heart for the Church as you surely have and all you said concerning the Word of God and the Church I resonated with 100% I want to thank you for it and ask your permission to use some or all the material you used on that occasion which I know the people of Sturminster need to hear. I had already given my first address pointing out the very four elements you referred to as essential to the Church life and had attention for forty five minutes I had not intended to speak for that long but there was no murmur of disapproval. So is there possibly a transcript of that address I may have? I am also looking for books you may have written on Amazon . Thanks Jim Allis
So blessed to hear such and awesome message I am from Mexico living in California since 1997. I came here trying to leave my old life but sadly I found out I couldn’t leave myself. On 2001 i had a suicidal episode almost ended my life. I accept Jesus in 2012 sunset then I have been searching the meaning of my life... I am zealous for the word of God and I have been improving little by little last Julia I admitted myself to a mentar clinic and there were question if God will heal me in this heart I know there is a better life after this one I am not looking forward to come there sooner than i am supposed to. Thanks for this message I am a child of God.
And my reason to be lies in praise Him alone!!!
