So rich and powerful that it warrants a second listen....

Never before did a man speak like this.

I want to thank SermonIndex SO MUCH for taking the time and effort to search out such excellent messages. For those of us who have pablum for our sermons on Sunday, many of these messages are truly the meat that keeps us going! Thank you!

Kinda hard to listen to the typical Sunday morning sermon after listening to something like this, isn't it? We so easily settle for less.

“…That is what was necessary to bring a righteous man to an awareness of God of a kind that otherwise would have evaded him except it came through suffering from the hand of God.“

“. .. Because something happens when we submit to the hands of God. The thing that is calculated to bring down what is cheap, superficial, false, play acting, even sincere.
There is a remarkable necessity to lay hold of God in the time that remains in the way that we ourselves would have been too slothful ever to have sought him. We would have been content to coast . For God is bringing you a verbal Holocaust as a preliminary, and an invitation for a fuller one for those who want to be increased and multiplied and have a length of years for which you can rejoice eternally… “

This message is so true. The Lord brought this to remembrance today as a wake up call. Art makes a statement how the sins of the fathers are judged upon their children. Over the past few months I have been struggling with things I learned from my parents. First I saw the sin their lives and the Spirit pointed to it in my own and I have sought to repent and be free of it because it reflects poorly on my Father. I fear too fruit of the sin my life that will come to those whom have been blessed spiritually but also imitate me physically. The more I see of God, the more I see of myself, how un-Christ-like I am. I have to admit I fear the devastation because I know I am still very proud.
