We Have Forgotten That The Way Is Narrow

Thank God for preachers like brother Paul Washer, and brothers like Lane Chaplin who make these sermons available on YouTube!

This is one of the first of many Paul Washer’s sermons that I heard a good time ago, and I can’t even begin to tell you how much it has affected me and my Christian walk. If you’ve read my testimony you’d know that I was one of many who said that ‘miracle prayer’ and became a (carnal) Christian for many years after.

Knowing how dangerous that belief is, I beseech you — that If you haven’t heard this sermon before and truly examined to see if you are saved (2 Corinthians 13:5), please take the time to today! I pray that it has an impact on you as it had on me.

Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Karen and I have benefited greatly from the ministries of teachers like John MacArthur, R.C. Sproul, John Piper, and of course, Paul Washer. In fact, we have benefited so much from the teachings of these God-fearing teachers that very often we wonder how we can contribute to and support their ministries.

Those who know us well will know that when it comes to a monthly donation, we aren’t exactly in the financial position to do so right now.

I’ve therefore been thinking that we can perhaps start small — that instead of just downloading sermons that we have found helpful in understanding God’s Word, we could perhaps actually pay for them (or their MP3 equivalents anyhow) even if the sermon or sermon series was available as a free download.

For example, single sermons at Grace To You, John MacArthur’s ministry, cost just US$2 (S$2.90) and a series of sermons go for about US$6 (S$8.50) so I thought it’d be a good way for us to show our appreciation and support the ministries at the same time.

What do you think? Is it a viable option for us to support the ministries?

Biblical Womanhood

Karen was “complaining” that while I featured a sermon by Paul Washer on Biblical Manhood, I didn’t post one on Biblical Womanhood.

So here’s one, sisters, where Pastor Voddie Baucham exposits Titus 2:3-5 to teach about Biblical Womanhood, and which I pray will edify you.

In this second sermon I’m featuring in as many days, Paul Washer teaches about Biblical manhood.

This sermon was first preached Sunday July 27, 2008 at Grace Life Church of the Shoals (formerly First Baptist church of Muscle Shoals). You can buy part 2 of the sermon on DVD, download the mp3, or buy the CD here.

Total run-time: 48:46 minutes.

The Purpose Of Marriage

Brother Paul Washer preaches another great sermon, this time on marriage and its purpose from a Biblical perspective. I’d highly recommend all married couples to watch this, together if possible. For those who are still single, it’ll give you a proper view of marriage.

It’s mostly addressed to the men because God has ordained us to be the head and leader of the household, but there’s much to learn for women too.

May you be blessed by this sermon.

Sermon is in English with Dutch translation. Total run-time: 100:44 minutes.

Update From Ray Comfort

I am very glad that brother Ray has taken the time to respond publicly to the article by Ingrid Schlueter, which you can read here.

As I write this, I remember that another good brother, Paul Washer, also almost does the same thing (or at least he mentioned that he does so in one of his sermons) — if he’s invited to speak, he’ll go, to present the Gospel as it should be.

Certainly, most of us who give our thoughts on this will have in some way much respect for Ray and his ministry, in addition to concern for his reputation which has been impeccable all this while. And, God forbid, we will never want to see Ray join the pack of wolves who are even now ravaging the unsuspecting in the flock.

I’m still mulling over my stand on this issue, having now both sides of the story (so to speak) since the public statement from brother Ray. I can see where he’s coming from, and I can also understand why Ingrid wrote what she wrote. In my opinion, it is, from all angles, an interesting issue up for discussion.

I’ll post further thoughts on this soon as I mull over it some more. :)

That Which Makes Me The Christian That I Am

Some say I am harsh, unloving, and even having a “profound self-righteousness in my own denomination” as one comment puts it on another blog. I am not concerned with these brickbats though on many occasions I do re-examine to see if I was indeed being self-righteous, so please accept my thanks for those reminders.

Initially, I did get riled by the comments, but since reminding myself constantly that I don’t labor for the applause of man but of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and that I must never seek gratification for my flesh, but the honor and glory of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I strive on leaning on His strength.

So, to those who wonder why I am such a Christian, seemingly harsh and unloving, please take some time to watch this sermon (104 minutes) that turned my Christian life 180 degrees away from carnality. I’ve never, prior to hearing this sermon by brother Paul, understood the holiness, love and mercy of God thus. It broke me and had me in tears the first time I heard it, and hearing it again and again never fails to break me and spur me on to seek the face of my Lord.

I pray that you, too, shall be broken, and come to live a life acceptable to God, and that even if you have to appear harsh and even be ostracized, you seek that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be honored and praised and glorified above all for He alone, and only He, is worthy.

The Greatest Words in All of Scripture

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.
