Are You Serious?!!!!!

This morning, I'm praising God for His goodness. I have been privilaged over the last, almost 7 years of being saved to hear some good preachin'. I can honestly say that so much of that good preaching, I've heard recently. And that encourages me. I'm sure if you've got any sense at all, you can see how things in this world are going...our nation is in trouble, it's people are in trouble, and the church as a whole is not helping, I'm afraid. So the fact that we're living in the last days...days when people everyday are sittin' down and quittin' on God, and I can honestly say that the good preaching I've heard is coming in these last days is encouraging. There are still men who will preach the truth, many of them in my generation. And there are still people who love the Lord and love the preaching of His Word, annointed and approved by Him. There are still those whose ears aren't all itchy for something superficial and watered down.

This message was preached by Brother James York, a young , on fire preacher at Wright's Chapel Baptist Church on a Thursday night. Brother York preaches on the solemn days in which we are living. So many Christians seem to be living their lives seemingly unconcerned that there are troubled people all around us that need Jesus. We're not serious...we don't take God's Word serious, His service serious...nothing really. This message will challenge you and it's the truth...I'm afraid so many churches have kicked the Holy Spirit out of their churches and he'll never darken the doors again and without that Spirit, there will be no conviction and where there is no conviction, their will be no new births. How serious are you taking these last days...

Putting Your Vineyard Up On The Market?

Wow...that's really all I can say about this message I heard the other day on Old Paths Sermons.org by Ralph Sexton Jr. Preached in 1987 in a tent at the foot of the Washington Monument, this one made me cry. The Spirit was all over it, even 22 years after it was preached and it rang so true. I got so excited about what I was hearing, I about decapitated myself on the kitchen ceiling fan (as I was cleaning off the top of the fridge) Note to self and you...when listening to this message, refrain from being on ladders as you might just have a spell and fall off and injure yourself. You think I'm exagerating...I'm not. The text was from the story of Nabol and his vineyard, when Ahab came to buy it from him. It challenged me to consider what is at stake if I sell my vineyard to the Devil...how much we stand to lose...how much we have already lost. This is where the church is at today and I couldn't help but be amazed that in that day a fundamental could pitch a tent in the nations capital and preach like Brother Sexton did and not be thrown into prison, be dragged into court by the ACLU or whooped after the meeting! How far this nation has come... Listen to this one! It'll help you...
