New member today

I stumbled upon Sermonindex.net today when searching for a booklet printed in 1841 that had been mentioned on a Joseph Prince show. I found the text of the booklet on this site. I looked around for awhile and am intrigued by the resource this site contains. I am a minister and look forward to the use of other inspired preaching and the insights of others who are seeking more of Jesus! I admire the tenets for posting and admonishing a right spirit when sharing with others. I have become soul weary from the argumentive spirit in so many forums and look forward to respectful and loving dialogue with other contributers.

Welcome to the forum!

What book were you searching for when you found the site? I'm backed up on reading materials but I really like to hear about new resources. :-)

Welcome to sermonindex, I advice you to listen these messages, be blessed...

GRACE AND POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT - ZAC POONEN:
http://media.sermonindex.net/4/SID4076.mp3

It is called Soul Nourishment by George Miller. It is a testimonial about his journey into meditation of the Word. He had begun each day with prayer and then study of word but he found to reverse that process brought an incredible increase into his daily life. Joseph Prince stated this pamplet changed his life.

I am interested in what you are learning from Him also. Thanks for welcome

thank you sir moderator I will look/listen to these.

Thank you for the suggestions!

Checked out your blog and website. So glad to hear of works being done in Detroit. I lived there in the 60's. Bless you in your works.

Hi drhumm, have a listen on sermons here,( I recommend Zac Poonen's messages about Grace) hope that you'll find the difference on what Joseph Prince is teaching... I came across to his quote
“Old Testament prophets call your sin to remembrance, while New Testament preachers call your righteousness to remembrance. Old Testament preachers tell you what’s wrong with you, while New Testament preachers tell you what is right with you because of what Jesus has done, in spite of what is wrong with you.” (DTR, p.220)
it is false BASE ON MY JUDGEMENT and his message of Salvation by grace is very elementary... salvation is by grace through faith but this does not dismiss our accountability. When you are struck by the beauty of Jesus Christ you will be on fire for God that's why it is written: "continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling" (Philippians 2:12) He also doesn't have a clear teaching on repentance, 2 Corinthians 7:10 says "For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death."

I also don't agree on his teaching about tithing and prosperity....I found his teachings humanistic...

I hope you will not stumble because of me...but please have time to meditate on these....

Brother,

I was going to share with you that Joseph Prince is not thought highly of here and I can see that we are off! I have no opinion one way or the other because I don't listen to him but on the other hand, I don't watch any preacher on TV (they all get on my nerves charging for this, that and the other).

But anyway, welcome to sermonindex, it has calmed down quite a bit in recent years and you should have a great time commenting and such!

God bless you,
Lisa

Interesting as I thought this was a non critical forum. Is it not? I listen and learn from many although the Holy Spirit is my main teacher. I guess my comment was immediately polorizing which I generally work against. I am a woman named cathy. Thanks Lisa for the heads up I look forward to discussing with you

So far Ive gotten posts warning me about Joseph Prince. I found a pamplet on the meditation of the word of God by George Miller which I found on this site quite intersting. I agree with Work out your salvation with fear and trembling but it can be done in the Lords strength and leading of the Holy Spirit to lead us into the joyful life which comes through much repentence. I am very ecletic and learn from many. I am also a speed reader and take in a lot of info. Is there a lot of criticism of preachers done on this site. I was hoping there was not, as I am one. Let me know what you think. It would be impossible for you to make me stumble so no worries...

I like to listen to the Word too. I have found I hear things I miss when reading.

Bless you sister Cathy! I like the confidence you have in the Lord. I believe you will be blessed by coming to SI. There are some of the finest Christians as well as some who are very judgmental about a lot of preachers. I believe you will be tremendously bless by all the resources and the many challenges that you will encounter here. It will help you to see things from many different perspectives.

I am also a minister of the gospel as well as Lisa and some others but be prepared to be challenged in your walk with God. I do not agree with everybody on SI but I have learned to love others and communicate better and it has helped me to change in areas where I needed to change and it has helped to strengthen in my walk with God.

I believe SI is the best christian website on the internet with all its resources and I believe you will come to see that also and really learn some things in the Lord during your time here.

So be blessed sister in the Lord...from brother rbanks

Brother rbanks, Thank you for the friendly note. You also helped me figure out what SI meant I was slow to figure it out.. I am not worried about being challanged in my walk but looking for opportunity to sharpen my commnication skills. I enjoy looking at things fom different perspectives and recognize that the Spirit of the Lord shows us different perspectives in the Word each time we visit it. I recently tried to remember a series I taught out of the book of Ezra and cannot remember my main point. I re visited Ezra hoping to recapture my POV and was unable to. I saw different things this time due to what I can only surmise. Age, influence of others, Holy Spirit moving differently in my life. This is going to be fun. Thank you for the blessing. Dr Humm

Glad you are here too. I enjoy peaceable communication also. I used to debate but the Lord insisted I give it up. My Irish roots squealed at that but now find life a lot more calm and free. Our church has been praying a lot for revival as of late. I do not see a solution for all of the division I see and hear to be resolved except through a genuine renewal and revival of the Body of Christ leading to a wave of evangelism bringing new souls into the Kingdom of God. Oh well that was quite a sentence. Tell me about your prayer life. dr humm

thank you sister Cathy, I agree with you...
