Great Sermon! This is an excellent message, and very much needed for this present day. Spurgeon's words are just as relevant today as they were when he originally spoke them. Praise God for such bold preaching!
From the sermon, " If I am wrong upon other points, I am positive that the sin of this age is impurity of doctrine, and laxity of faith. Now you know you are told every Sunday that it does not signify what you believe; that all sects and denominations will be saved; that doctrines are unimportant things; that as to the doctrines of God's grace, they are rather dangerous than otherwise, and the less you inquire about them the better; they are very good things for the priests, but you common people cannot understand them. Thus they keep back a portion of the gospel with cautious reserve; but having studied in the devil's new Jesuitical college, they understand how to call themselves particular Baptists, and then preach general doctrines, to call themselves Calvinists, and preach Arminianism, telling the people that it does not signify whether they preach damnable heresies instead of the truth of God."
Where is this boldness today? Today we have 'Christians' locking arms with error and those who cleave to it! What a shameful thing this is.
Great Sermon! What a blessed sermon, my heart is full of praises to our God and King. Thank you lord for the blessings of your word and to the men who can expound it.
How good God is! "Praise God from whom all blessings flow!" By the grace of God some of us were part of this history. We bless God for the life and ministry of Pastor Martin.
True Believer What I love about Ryle is that he is Biblical powerful and pastoral. In these words he describes the genuine believer and his marks. He really demonstrates that he was powerfully used of God and his entire focus was on Christ. His teachings here reveal exactly that.
Powerful Wow!!
A powerful statement by Ryle a Bishop of the C.of E.
The chasm between Ryle and todays C.of E. is as wide as the chasm between heaven and hell.
The Archbishop of Hypocrisy and his bishops today would do well to hear Ryle and his doctrine. But alas Satan and sin separates them from Ryle's faith and their worldly convictions.
Thought Provoking Excellent and thought provoking.
How many Christians make this same mistake of neglecting the Word of God - And even forgetting it is the Word of God.
