Praise God that His Spirit is calling so many out of the superstitions and blasphemy of the RCC and into churches where they have access to the Bible where it is proclaimed as the basis of faith and practice.
No doubt there can be doubts about the validity and perhaps over-simplicity of the gospel message given in these charismatic gatherings, and all the nonsense of "speaking in tongues" etc, but these precious souls have now been set free from bondage. Those who are truly saved the LORD will lead into the full light of the entire message of salvation.
Praise His name, and to Him be the glory.

Sermon:
Preaching - with Signs Following
Rev. Andrew Patterson

1
comment

“ Stirring Warning To The Lost ”
In the final part of Samuel's sermon, the Lord intervenes in a dramatic fashion, and Israel recognises its sin at last. Mr Patterson message from this passage is a needful one in our day, as it was for the Israelites of old. I was reminded yet again that "the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom". The challenges to the believer of faithfulness in prayer and reverential service to God in integrity is always good for me to be reminded of. As is the reminder of the Lord's faithfulness and the reason He saves. The sermon ends with a dire message to those who yet will persist in sin, and this makes this sermon a good one to send to any you may know who are still in that dangerous and awful position.

Sermon:
A Sermon for a Sinful Nation
Rev. Andrew Patterson

“ Insightful Sermon! ”
With the Israelites gathered at Gilgal, that place of the memorial stones and the first Passover in the looked-for Promised Land, Samuel addresses a sermon to them. Mr Patterson's own sermon caused me to rehearse in my heart the great and mighty deliverance given freely to a worthless sinner and sealed with His own assurance. And further, to search my life to see to what extent I now am relying on human and not divine help. May these words be a blessing to all that hear them, a renewal to the backslider, a means of salvation to the lost, and a further cause of rejoicing in those that yet fear God.

May the LORD be gracious to comfort the family members and church brethren of these three men, for precious in the sight of God is the death of His saints. My wife and I will pray for you that this grief may be assuaged.

For the perpetrators of this vile act, may what you perhaps perceive to be a work of triumph be to you an occasion for lament, and the sorrow you have inflicted on the innocent come upon your own head.

To any Muslims who may be visiting this site, think carefully where your beliefs are certainly taking you.

Focus on Gospel's Changing Power, Not Gun Control

I am from the British Isles where there is very stringent gun control. Yet gun crime has been described there as "out of control" in a press report I recently read. Added to this is a judiciary which is heavily biased in favour of the criminal and a government which has put unrepentant armed terrorists actually into government. Ordinary citizens are generally defenceless against criminals who find it no problem to obtain firearms.
The point made in the USA that to keep and bear arms as a counterweight against tyrranical government is, I feel, a very valid one. To say nothing about defence against rampant and violent crime.

“ Excellent Expose ”
This is another excellent expose by Rev Brown of yet more "shock-horror, we've at last found the truth" garbage, this time by a failing film producer and an Israeli "Bible expert". Does not the heart grow weary at the continued production of this trash? Thank you, Rev Brown, for this sermon with illustrative PP on the vitality for the Christian of the eternal truth of the Resurrection.

“ Mighty To Save. ”
In this day and generation many mainline churches are staffed by placemen, timeservers and hypocrites who are concerned to promote godlessness and perversion: arminians proclaim a "gospel" wherein God is dependent on man to make a decision: charismatics babble in "unknown tongues". Sinner, are you surfing this website confused by what is really the gospel as a result of all this weakness and confusion? Hear this faithful preaching of God's word by an annointed preacher for an introduction to One who is mighty to save to the uttermost. May the Lord be gracious to bless it to your heart for His glory and name's sake.

Sermon:
The Testing Period for Saul
Rev. Andrew Patterson

comment

“ A Call For Today ”
Christian, does it grieve you to see in this perverse age the multiple onslaught on God's church and His name by the devil? Are you moved by the actions of the serpent (translation of the name of Nahash) in striving to turn God's kingdom into "a land that is withered" with people who have lost their vision? Or are you indifferent and even complacent and comfortable with self? Mr Patterson may challenge your own standing in this evil day and generation. May it be to all of us an effective call to plead for revival at the throne of grace.

In (prayerfully) considering this situation, which on all past history of the main protagonists seems almost unbelievable, it is a great comfort for the Christian to remember the sovereignty of God. He who knows the end from the beginning will work to do all His pleasure in this and all matters.
Of course this will be seen as the defeat of Dr Paisley by the IRA among the godless. This fearless preacher of righteousness has been constantly exposed to ridicule for his biblical stance for decades by these people.
Whether this bring "peace" to Ulster remains to be seen.
I for one will be praying for Dr P and the Gospel outreach of the FPC to the lost, which may also suffer in this event. And I will be continuing to pray that the Lord will be gracious to the murderers that Dr P has now come into agreement with, that He may grant them an ear to hear and bring them to the place of repentance and salvation.

Sermon:
Saul - Chosen & Confirmed as King
Rev. Andrew Patterson

comment

“ Great Sermon! ”
In the present situation in Ulster, the role of the people in rejecting the God who delivered them in favour of a flawed human is especially poignant. A continued blessing to hear God's word expounded in this series, wherein are many lessons drawn by the preacher. This "episode" touches on humility, faithful preaching and the insistence of the people in pursuing their desire, though rebuked by Samuel. Mr Patterson again uses this passage to enquire of his hearer, "What will you do with Christ?" Sinner, this is the all-important question. May the Lord use this preaching for the salvation of many, for His own glory and name's sake.

Sermon:
Saul - A Converted Man !
Rev. Andrew Patterson

“ Thoughtful Message ”
Mr Patterson here considers the features and significance of Samuel's anointing of Saul as king. The signs following came to pass, and here is a useful contrast to what we may see today in "word of faith", tongue-speaking types of ministries. Finally the question of Saul's being saved is considered, and an evaluation according to Scripture is given. I look forward to the continuation of this series.

“ Great Sermon! ”
The continuation of the story of Saul's being chosen to be king is used of the preacher as a type of salvation, very profitably for the edification of God's people. Mr Patterson also refers several times in this message to the necessity of time spent with the Lord, and also the blessing it is to hear God's word faithfully expounded. "...But stand thou still a while, that I may show thee the word of God." May the Lord use this series to bless His people and to bring the lost to a saving relationship with Him.

Sermon:
Saul & His Appointment With Samuel
Rev. Andrew Patterson

1
comment

“ Providence and Sovereignty of God ”
In this message in the series on 1 Samuel, an analysis of the character of Saul is followed by the comfort of the truth of God's sovereignty, then the nature of Samuel himself (how different from Saul..). As always, these points are presented with relevency to our own day and age and the listener is directly addressed as to their standing with God, and how indeed they do (or not) relate to that great work on Calvary's cross. This study series gives the listener many opportunities to perceive the working out of God's great love and purpose for His people.

“ The Price of Sin ”
Rev Patterson again brings out from the riches of God's word topics that are very pertinent in this day and generation. The ongoing story of the defiantly rebellious people of Israel, true to their form in rejecting the God who had blessed them beyong measure, rings in the ear today. "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise." (Prov 12 v 15) Let us continue to pray that the consequences warned about in this message of the apostacy of our own evil and dark times can yet be turned away by God's own mercy.

You are of course correct to give the meaning of "thou shalt do no murder" and it OKs the actions you mention, plus of course the judicial use of the death penalty. The Lord even made provision for accidental killing in the Law in the cities of refuge, but that is another thing and is a type of His great mercy.
I hope you didn't think my suggestion to you about a murderous heart meant you had in any way to justify yourself to me, a sinner saved only by God's grace. Having a murderous heart does of course apply to you, me, the President of the US, Bertie Ahern, the pope of Rome, old Uncle Tom Cobley and all. In short, all men (ie human beings) are born into sin's depravity inherited from Adam. This is called Original Sin, or Total Depravity.
You are probably familiar with Jeremiah 17 v 9 and the question therein, and the answer given in the following verse. Without a saving work from a sovereign God, we are hell bound. Hence "Ye must be born again."
I have to go now, and in doing so pray for God's grace in your life.

Thank you for your observations --

"Which was it in Tetzel's case? I don't know."

"I'm happy to be a fool for Christ's sake."

The case of Tetzel and the sale of "indulgences" -- a system of remission of sin granted by a man (can you see any blasphemy here?) in return for money and/or good works -- is well deliniated in history books.

Your expositions in these columns of such practices as indulgences, the efficacy of "holy objects" which can impart "grace", and other superstitious pagan claptrap does show you to be a fool, but not for Christ.

I don't say this as a cheap jibe.
The word "fool" in the Bible has a stronger connotation than used today. It means a person who is deliberately depraved despite being surrounded by the truth.
If your case were not so eternally tragic, it would indeed be hilarious. But of course it isn't, and I apologise for seeming to laugh at you as a person.
