I've seen The Deeps 3 times and listened to over 20 sermons. If the Lord tarries I expect I'll move north and take one of those spots in the coming extended parking lot. |

In a letter to his brother Charles in June 1766, the Arminian evangelist John Wesley, now in his sixties, wrote, "I do not love God. I never did. Therefore I never believed, in the Christian sense of the word. ... I never had any other evidence of the eternal or invisible world than I have now; and that is none at all, unless such as faintly shines from reason’s glimmering ray. I have no direct witness (I do not say, that I am a child of God, but) of anything invisible or eternal." See the SWRB blog on SermonAudio at http://ow.ly/kk2wt or http://www.sermonaudio.com/new_details3.asp?ID=13559 for more context for the quote above, as well more information on other surprising and disturbing beliefs held by John Wesley. For example, you will see that "Wesley taught that unconverted Muslims and other heathen will be accepted by God on the basis of their good works" and also wrote, "Prayer for the dead, the faithful departed, in the advocacy of which I conceive myself clearly justified." |

Its unfortunate people are very biased towards a minister who preaches a type of doctrine they support.George Whitefield was indeed an entertaining and great minister of the Word who preached to many people but being popular does not mean being the most effective. John Wesley - love him or hate him - was a great minister of the Word who won more souls for Jesus Christ than Whitefield. Wesley had a more effective way of producing genuine converts than Whitefield mainly because of his Christian perfectionism doctrine (Matthew 5:48; 1 Thessalonians 5:23) The greatest evangelist in history is obviously D.L. Moody, followed by John Wesley, then others |

How truly amazing He is! Our congregation is so blessed to have the PSC that we do. You all truly do
represent us. Brothers and sisters we have seen in difficult times of not having a pastor
how He has so blessed us in many ways and continues to sustain us. For
example, in our pulpit supply, in additional help from our teaching elders
and our ruling elders, in our diaconate to our congregation members! I
can only imagine when the man God has called comes along, how truly
awesome that will be. PSC keep encouraged, the church continues to pray and we all know His
timing is perfect! Your sister in Christ, Debbie Reed |

What do we do with people who are at different levels of sanctification? We preach the Word to them like Jesus. That Word includes strong, repeated, NEW TESTAMENT, instruction about sins of all types. Some of these sins are mentioned more than others due to their destructive nature. Sexual sin is one of them. And yes, people are fallen and struggle with temptations of all kinds. But a failure to preach the Word clearly, concisely, thoroughly will result in people who “just aren’t bothered by that particular sinâ€, even those God mentions over and over (sexual sins). Repentant people when tempted wrestle privately due to their new shame God has given them about their sin. Unrepentant people don’t have that gift from God yet and need to hear the Word about that sin. Bold, comfortable sinning should prompt the minister to reevaluate his preaching, not reevaluate the Holy Spirit. To then say the Holy Spirit has changed and clearly FORBIDDEN BY GOD IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, life-destroying sins are now akin to Israel’s shellfish restrictions is bizarre. |

TODD RESPONDS:You ask, “Is she a lesbian woman or is she a born again woman?†Does being born again mean you are instantly not a lesbian? Or a sluggard, or a liar, or a glutton, or abuse alcohol, or smoke a pipe? We are all new creations when we accept Christ. But sanctification takes time. And we still struggle. The question is… what do we do with people who are at different levels of sanctification? That’s what he’s trying to address. He’s saying that he’s seen remarkable progress in her journey… but that progress has not yet reached her sexuality. See very possible to me from people I’ve watched. Sometimes it takes time and is not instantaneous. Todd |

Todd Rhoades repsonded:Chuck, Did you even read the article? It didn’t sound like it. I believe homosexuality is a sin as well. But the questions asked are valid. Todd |
