A dear godly and eminent preacher once reminisced in a sermon: "100 years ago if you wished to become a member in any #baptist church in America you stood up on your hind legs in front of the altar and they asked you this question: 'Are you willing to be sent to hell if it'll bring glory to God?' And unless they were willing to be sent to hell, if that'd bring glory to God, they weren't received as members. You'll never be saved until you quit trying to use God and just surrender to Him."
How far have we fallen in this country from pure and undefiled religion? We used to believe in a Sovereign God that once saved men and women by His power. Now we just do it ourselves and save God the trouble. We used to preach absolute surrender in our pulpits. Now we just write our own terms of salvation and demand God accept them.
I invite you to listen to this sermon of Rolfe Barnard entitled Seeking The Lost. It is time to shake yourselves from the false conversions you have been satisfied with and make conversion and salvation by the power of God alone and the all out effort of your life.
