Great Sermon! Great comforting message. Not based on “scratching itchy ears” but on the truth of God’s word. Thank you sermon audio and Pastor Dowling
Introductory sermons The series introduction sermons are my favorites. Good background that helps make sense of the rest of the book. And some of the info is hard to come by in cursory readings.
We so often confuse piety and self-righteousness - always to the detriment of those whom we have an obligation to reach out to. I couldn't agree less that this gentleman is trying to change the image of Christ in any way; simply finding a way, within the boundaries of God's word, to reach those people that you SF have prematurely judged. May more mercy be shown to you than you have expressed.
I agree 100% with Chrisopher. I pray they turn their lives to God and continue to enjoy His blessings in the fruit of the vine without condemnation by their weaker brethren.
A great read on the subject, "Drinking With Calvin and Luther!" By Jim West.
Honest message! Thanks Kevin & Dave! We are dealing with extended family opinions about our daughter's future. It's wearing these relations thin, very quickly; my wife and I get tired of hearing the same things over and again. This was a big encouragement and I appreciate the Scriptural references and speaking frankly.
