Ballston Lake Baptist Church

Hello I’m a 75 yr old Disabled Veteran Vietnam - been pastoring for 50yrs And with out a doubt — This has got to be the best message I have ever heard on the Effectual Call. Thank you

How far we have strayed from true worship, and singing, reading, praying, preaching and receiving the word! In my 30+ years as a believer I remember one time hearing an old preacher in his late 80’s just spoke only scriptures and I cried through the whole message, he didn’t read it, but spoke it with such passion that he cried! That was close to ten years ago and I’m still moved by even now! Thank you for resetting the foundation that we have lost. Bless you!

I was looking to hear how different preachers interpreted Gal. 2:17. I had never heard of this man but was extremely blessed by his teaching. Well done, sir!

An excellent message to stir up our faith, to challenge our obedience, zeal, love and faithfulness to the Lord Jesus Christ. Is He my first love, or have I lost my first love? When I examine myself through the eyes of Christ,and His word, am I ashamed of my commitment to Him and my walk with Him? Lord have mercy on me, a sinner! To God be the glory!!! Amen!!!

This was a very good sermon. It brought to mind some who use 'evangelism' as an excuse to sit home, beg for money, post videos on the internet of themselves reading from the bible and call that 'evangelism', and refuse to work. IT would seem from this teaching they are in sin. There are brethren who do not work consistently and take hand outs as well, again, this sermon shows them to be in sin. In application to myself, I am guilty of working and not being too cheerful about that. Thank you for presenting the truth of the word of God plainly, by God's grace I have seen need to improve in my own life. I will not financially support any believer who consistently refuses to work and begs for money - Tony Miano comes to mind; or any believer who works sporadically, but is capable of working full time. I have no problem helping any who cannot work due to valid reasons.

Christians take God's name in vain every day without even realizing it, even from the pulpit. This sermon will help you to avoid this sin.

This isn't just an excellent sermon. There are qualities to this message and other sermons from this speaker that clearly set it apart from other broadcasters. His messages are peculiarly organized, every work carefully spoken. The messages are lacking personal opinion and heavy on scriptural references. He takes the time to prove his assertions from scripture which makes these messages IDEAL to use in the company of other believers with different backgrounds. The applications are common sense and often indisputable. We invest the money to transcribe these sermons for our work bible study. We use a projector to display the .pdf file while we listen to the message. Periodically we pause the message for discussion. Overall we find these sermons from this speaker very edifying and provoking. The discussion is real. The overall effect is that these messages are propelling men towards God in a life of faith and obedience. Thank you!

Thank you!

Simply blessed byhearing your exposition of this series. Appreciate your exaltation of the Lord and His call to action even in our dark moments (which He regulates).

the word of God sharpens and cuts. I give thanks for both

I'm both humbled and encouraged by this sermon. I truly believe God is rounding up his sheep for his Glory.

This is a great message. I am a bondsman and am painfully aware of the multitudes of people who have little to no hope in this world. To have hope in Christ is everything and such a precious gift!

This sermon gives us insight as to the deepest meaning of the suffering that was involved in the tests and temptations that Jesus felt during His life amongst the people in the everyday lives they lived. The temptations presented by Satan, we don't understand the suffering that Jesus endured during those days, which are much greater than what we face. But we must know that with the Holy Spirit, we have the power to overcome them.

This is an outstanding examination and explanation of some aspects of postmodernism and how it is affecting our society, and filtering into some of our churches. The overall affect of these types of philosophies is anti-Christ and strong false teaching that only serious study of the Holy Scriptures can prevent the falling away as revealed in the Holy Bible. This is an excellent resource sermon for further study on this topic.
