“ Great protection. ” Narrative sermon: the God of the covenant bringing His people out of Egypt and into Canaan. Satan's opposition to this and in the life of Jesus and Joshua the High Priest.
“ Cultural mandate. ” A plea for Christians to fulfill our cultural mandate, to work for a Christian culture. Christians must be engaged in education, in schools, or else the culture will be from the wicked one.
“ Great Sermon! ” Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O LORD, and You exalt Yourself as head over all. 1 chronicles 29:11
“ Great lessons. ” Very useful lessons from the lives of the Erskines and the 4 controversies in which they were involved. Some sad lessons also. Rich material.
“ Timely warning. ” A message about the danger of having a mind full of Calvinism, with the heart untouched of these truths. Of having no concern for the lost, no burden for missions. A Calvinism without the passion for souls as Brainerd and Carey had. Timely warning.
“ Great darkness. ” In times of depression we loose sight of every hope, every blessing we had or we will have from God, we can feels only the pain of the knife in the wound and our only wish is to escape from it, maybe in death. There are moments of utter powerlessness, we are down physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually. Only a sight of God can bring us out of this condition.
“ How to evangelize. ” Starting point of the message is Mark 5:18-20. A plea to renounce to the obsession of methods and points in evangelism. We must live a saintly life and we will do evangelism. Rich message. Many personal examples from the preachers life. Very useful message.
“ Is God still good? ” Job between the temptations of Satan (the temptations continue through the speeches of the 3 friends) and God, who permits suffering in his life for a greater end (to know God better). We must love God for what He is, not for what He gives us. The lecture has 41 minutes, the rest is time for Q&A.
“ Go on! ” We have the truth and the salvation that the philosophers of this world did not have, that the people without God did not have. So we must stand fast and serve the Lord trusting in Him.
“ Too important to ignore! ” 80% of children raised in evangelical homes are leaving the faith when they leave home. The remedy for this is not in man made religious programs, but rather in God appointed , father-led family worship daily in the home. Thank you, Mr. Ptacek, for bringing forth these neglected teachings from the Word of God.
“ Excellency of God. ” The escape from Egypt had as the first consequences the fact that the people saw God exalted above all the gods of the nations. The holiness of God consist in all the excellencies of His attributes, it is not one of them. The holiness of God presented in creation, in the giving of the Law, in redemption and in glorification.
“ Great Sermon! ” This message is worthy of serious reflection by all who desire to glorify God in their family and who wish to raise godly children. Thank you!
“ Discerning teachings. ” The Lord taught us not a doctrinal tolerance, in which to accept all kind of teachings. There are many teachings from the devil and we must discern them and fight against them. Every religious pretense must be judged by its theology and by the lives of the adepts. If they live as the world, they are from the world and from the Spirit of God.
