“ Great Sermon! ” Thank You Lord for speaking through your servant Joseph, and Your servant, Reggie, to point us to You, and your amazing grace, in pardoning, freely, we sinners, and teaching us about the spirituality of Your moral law, beautiful, precious law, for putting it in our minds and writing on our hearts, and moving us to keep it, not to earn your favor, for that is utterly impossible; but rather to simply please You, because we love You, because You first loved us,
In Him,
Amen
“ Great Sermon! ” Good to see you made back to your home pulpit safe and sound my brother Reggie.
Thank you for your insightful, and thoughtful, as usual, exposition of this passage wherein Paul addresses the Thessalonians seeking to have them compare their deceptive false teachers with their true teacher: The Spirit through the instrument of Paul.
I especially loved your reference to the correct teaching of the Spirits use of the Moral Law, the Ten Commandments, in the life of the elect, first to bring them to a true knowledge of sin and self, and thus the fear of God, causing a flight to Christ in earnest as the only hope….and then, one this is accomplished, the right use of that Law as a Rule of Life, it being “put in the mind and written in the heart” by that Spirit, whereby the believer, with the psalmist exclaims “oh, how I love Thy Law, it is my meditation all the day”. Ps 119:97 & Heb. 8:10
“ Remembering Matthew 7:1-5 ” Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. (Matthew 7:1-5).
“ Great Sermon! ” Yes , the cry should be "come out fom among them." But, as I heard a caller on a radio program recently state that preachers today (and this seems to be increasingly in the reformed camp) are more concerned about being "unity concious" on a pastoral level than for remaining faithful to Christ and his words especially in essential aspects of the faith. This is especially the case with organizations such as T4G, The Gospel Coalition and the like. Thank God for our Lord's promise that he will build his church and the gates of hell will not prevail against Him, not even when they are being facilitated by other believers in their compromise and naivetee.
“ Great Sermon! ” This is a Halmark Sermon. If we could get Our flocks to dwell with deep reflection on these wondrous passages, oh what a revelation our churches would encounter!
“ Great Sermon! ” AWESOME sermon! Some highlights: "I asked one of our ministers in Florida dealing with the aftermath of the hurricanes, 'How are you doing?' And he said, 'Well you know, it's amazing with what ease God can put a hole in our economy.' ...Man's thinking and Arminian theology is that God owes sinners a chance and if he doesn't give them that then something's wrong. That's bad theology. You don't put the words God, owes, sinners together like that. Sinners owe God their obedience... In Amos, we see this REPEATED refrain...'I sent this disaster, and you tried to fix it yourself and you didn't return to me. I sent another disaster, and you tried to fix it yourself and you didn't return to me.' There is far more than a hurricane, far more than a tornado, far more than a flood that men will have to face. It is the God of Heaven that men have to face ... You want to say God's happy with you, when you won't obey His law. You want to say you belong to Him when you give allegiance to idols. Is this not exactly our nation? It is exactly our nation. We see rebuke in the Bible even for our churches because there are those who have more in common with their idols than they do with the person and work of Jesus Christ. Does the Lord send disaster? Yes, there are times the Lord sends calamity.
“ Great Sermon! ” This message was a real blessing to me. In it, Pastor Kimbro points out the depths of the depravity of the human heart and the depth's of God's grace shown to sinners in the salvation offered through Jesus Christ, as revealed in God's word.
“ Great Series of Sermons! ” Mr. Kimbro's entire series on Legalism and Antinomianism is well worth hearing. He gives a tremendous Biblical foundation and sense to the true Gospel; showing how it is far from either of these two errors that plague mankind.
“ Wake-Up Call! ” Absolutely wonderful to listen to. Not just to listen.. but to learn.. and to take to heart.. and to motivate to move. Heartily recommend it to all who will listen.
