Wow Sermon! My heart was stirred beyond my knowledge of the specific scriptures applied in this teaching. God's spirit certainly yoked us together in His will for His own and for the world He created.
To think He has elected us to co-labor with Him is almost inconceivable, but for grace.
My prayer for you is that He raises you up, exalts you, to sound the alarm among anemic churches that have been subtly injected with worldly venom.
You are strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might you have done a great exploit.

modern day Puritan thinking, love it! thanks Joe you practice what you preach, you're one who understands time is precious so you don't waste pulpit time with fluff and "seeker" trash but preach necessary food, I'm sure BOL Fellowship is a gymnasium and not a massage parlor!
Church Warning When you hear 2 Chronicles 7:14 recited, which part is omitted? "and turn from their (our) wicked ways"! America is addicted to wicked ways, and the church is no longer a SANCTUARY from evil.
Intimidation over the "separation of church and state" has produced compromise that SEPARATES the Church FROM GOD!
Great Sermon! An excellent message addressing the newest form of an old error that seems to come up in every generation ... the doctrine of the "three ways."
1)The super-Christian or "Radical" 2) The average Christian; and 3) The Unbeliever.
The Bible teaches that there are TWO WAYS - you are either "in Christ" or "in Adam!" The average Christian is called to a life of radical obedience to simple commands. There are no tiers or secondary classes in Christianity.
Great Sermon! I missed this during the Christmas season, but that's not really relevant to the hearing of it. This is really good and from a slightly different angle with perspective of the Holy Spirit. Couple things occurred to me as I listened. Years back when God mercifully encountered me through His Son and I instantly saw Who Christ Is and why I always saw Him hanging on that crucifix, from that point I realize I gradually saw who Mary is vs my former Catholic teaching. Another thing I've always thought in the recesses of my mind as I've listened to my fav and regular preachers here became clearer. What could make a regular man, just a man with clay feet, become so enamored, so excited, so totally absorbed with this Book that takes over his life to preach week in, week out for the rest of his life? No one less than the Holy Spirit. What could take my imperfect life and make it one that hungers and thirst after righteousness and holiness? No one less than God the Holy Spirit. This blessed me. Thank you. "Christmas in July!"
Great Sermon! I was very blessed by your message. God is good even in the darkness no matter how dark our days may seem. This message really encouraged. Pray, press in and wait up on the Lord. Deliverance is coming!

Ditto ..just wanted to echo the previous comments.This sermon is like a fresh, cold drink of water from the water fountain. So many churches are parched and could greatly benefit from hearing this.One is hard pressed to find a local church that isn't offering up the latest counterfeit nonsense that passes off as worship.
