I first heard AB at Bible Conference in the 1980’s in Grand Rapids when I was a student at Grand Rapids Baptist College and Seminary, now known as Cornerstone University. Back then we had a week of Bible Conference speakers and services when students and the public attended services. Times change. He did not.

We must understand that the minister is nothing but an instrument like a violin, it can only make beautiful music by the one who plays it. Can the violin boast? The player is God and He alone will be seen. Who gets all the glory, the player or the instrument? So let us pray that God will be seen and heard and glorious in the one whom He has chosen and sent to preach His precious word!! Thanks for sharing, and God bless you all!!

If we fail to pray for the ministry, we will not benefit, be blessed, grow up to maturity in the image of Christ, be sanctified or be led in the way of holiness. Do we want God to be our teacher? Do we desire to know God and to love Him more? Do we long to hear His voice and be made to obey all His commands? Yes!! If you don't really care about these things, then you may question your salvation and your new birth from above! One of the signs that you are born again is that you will care greatly about things like this!!

This was so powerful about the times we live in now and as freedom to speak truth from God's Word can now be judged 'hate speech' This was preached: May 25, 2021 The ending of this message is so important for Christians to understand. Reciting some verses in the Bible now can get one labeled a speaker of hate that will bear harsh consequences. Today almost a year later from this message it is more evident and forces more organized to report said speakers. I cannot imagine this was an easy lesson to teach for Pastor Begg as it is a most important one and at the close he was warning that 'chains' that got Paul arrested can now become 'chains' for us today. "Calm mid the bewildering cry, Confident of victory." He who would glorify his God must set his account upon meeting with many trials. No man can be illustrious before the Lord unless his conflicts be many. If then, yours be a much-tried path, rejoice in it, because you will the better show forth the all-sufficient grace of God. As for his failing you, never dream of it-hate the thought. The God who has been sufficient until now, should be trusted to the end." -- Spurgeon The battle is raging and it is against the Body of Christ.

I Had No Right I thought first, maybe not right. I stood at the edge of the crowd, listening. My life was a complete misery, yet love enflamed my heart beyond reason. He spoke tenderly of love and family. My mind, so weary, heart thorn-stabbed. I thought again of my daughter. Her chances were obvious and bad. I heard His promise, His compassion, all worry melted, replaced by certainty. Even from my knees, seeking faith within! I appealed to His obvious surety. They could not; He said, "Do not silence." I believed with cause, proven correct. Our prayers always reach heaven. It's pure faith Christ will never neglect. I knew I was not adopted, and mucky. Yet, with bitter sorrow for my wrong I approached His table believing kindness, my tears and prayers, deepest song. I spoke a request that He save another. Precious life, I knew, was His true concern. I knew in His presence, I was rescued. His spoken word said the unlearned. His light, so bright, the shaded garden grows all affected as rescue brings double. Christ demonstrates to the wild edge, He makes space for true faith at His table. ~ kk

" Guys" is impersonal. It expresses no loving camaraderie between the speaker and the listener. It is an acceptable address in many circumstances. But not in this pastoral message. "Loved ones" not only expresses a desired personal connection and honor, it also is a demonstration of obedience of followers of Jesus to " love one another as I have loved you." When addressed as an object of Christian love, one senses that he/she is significant, and that the speaker wants the best for you.

Preaching is akin to an oracle of God. It's beginning is the spirit joined to God's Spirit: inspiration is from the mind of God who knows the hearers through and through: every sin, every weakness, every infirmity. A preacher can point out a man and speak directly to that man about things that no man knows but the hearer.. A prophet can be a preacher and or a teaching prophet. A prophet must fast and pray for greater yieldedness. Rebuke can come forth from such a one as though from the throne room, leaving the speaker to think afterwards: "Now, I am a dead man." A man that God uses in such a way, might have to be dragged from his prayer closet and set up before men, because he fears what might come forth. He preaches to kings as boldly as to paupers, in any way that God would speak to a common mortal, whose next breath is in His hands. A prophet will have a supernatural calling by way of a gift that is part of his ministry, ie. an 'open' vision and/or a dream. The teacher is the renewed mind, orderly in instruction & dividing rightly the Word. An apostle can teach and preach and knows easily which one he is flowing in. There can be insight of teaching & illumination embedded within preaching. An apostle can at sometime flow in all ministry gifts: planting churches at God's direction, or ministering as a prophet, or as a powerful evangelist with mighty signs and wonders, or as a teacher, or as a pastor. The prophet can see "in the Spirit" or have a vision while Gods words are filling his mouth; in such a state, his mind lags behind in awe and wonder at what is happening as God uses him. People who do not know these things should not speak of them, as they only cause confusion.

And of some have compassion, making a difference: AND OTHERS SAVE WITH FEAR, PULLING THEM OUT OF THE FIRE, HATEING EVEN THE GARMENT SPOTTED BY THE FLESH. (II Cor. 5:11) "Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men." ARE WE SMARTER THAN ST. PAUL? Do we dare correct St. Jude the brother of our Lord? Seems to me we need to read and study our Bibles a little better! Our God is not just a God of love and compassion. If the Book is true, and we know it is, we are not to just preach and teach about the love of God but also "the wrath of the Lord"! Only so do we save ourselves and them that hear us.
