Paul Washer May 13, 2009

I have just discovered Paul Washer, a Baptist preacher. His gospel hearkens back to the days of the Great Awakening – Whitefield, Edward, Spurgeon. His indictments of today’s version of Christianity is so true. Although his gospel is so clearly Baptist, how I wish that men like him would discover the Adventist Movement that I have found. The Advent message (and the Great Controversy/Trust-Healing model) would complete his message. Thank the Lord for the many who preach His word in truth and not a watered down gospel with no power at all.

One point I learned from Paul’s sermons:
The question is not will you allow Jesus to come into and renovate your heart? The question is has God done such a work in your heart that your passion and your desire and your greatest need is to throw yourself and cling to Christ alone? (Just like the woman with the issue of blood, do you have a faith borne of desperation? If you do, you will have a passionate love for God borne of God’s great love for you.)

God’s way of presenting truth May 12, 2009

Evangelism p. 525
“The divine commission needs no reform. Christ’s way of presenting truth cannot be improved upon. The worker who tries to bring in methods that will attract the worldly minded, supposing that this will remove the objections that they feel to taking up the cross, lessens his influence. Preserve the simplicity of godliness.”

Counsels on Health p. 498
“The Saviour gave the disciples practical lessons, teaching them how to work in such a way as to make souls glad in the truth. He sympathized with the weary, the heavy-laden, the oppressed. He fed the hungry and healed the sick. Constantly He went about doing good. By the good He accomplished, by His loving words and kindly deeds, He interpreted the gospel to men.”

Unconditional Grace, but Conditional Salvation May 12, 2009

God loves us no matter what. God will be good to us (grace) whatever we do. God wants to save us above anything else. But just as a doctor cannot help a patient who doesn’t seek or follow advice, God will not force the unbelieving man.

Hosea 2:16 May 3, 2009

One day, you will no longer call me Master, but Husband.
