Warm greetings, friends, near
and far. The Lord Jesus Christ be magnified
forever and ever. This is Sinner Saved coming at
you with the following short evangelistic gospel message,
which is sponsored by preacher Wayne Boyd and the Brethren in
Christ at First Baptist Church, located in Almont, Michigan,
USA. And God willing, this broadcast
will reach you, Lima Charlie, loud and clear. It is my hope
and prayer unto God most high, the only Holy Father, that his
only begotten son, Christ Jesus, the Lord our righteousness, be
greatly exalted, that his everlasting gospel be clearly proclaimed,
that the pride of mere flesh and blood men be humbled, and
that his elect saints be greatly encouraged and comforted. in
these evil and perilous days. please consider having paper
and pencil handy to jot down the scriptural references for
your own follow-up study. And so we begin with the weekend
gospel message to follow for all hands. Heads up! Please find enclosed encouragement
in so great salvation by the perfect and finished work of
our Lord Jesus Christ in saving poor, needy, and wretched sinners
by his sovereign free grace, that is to say, Almighty God,
in His unmerited favor, to save me and you from our sins and
from hell. Seek Christ. Pursue Christ. Get Christ. Christ is Almighty
God's salvation. Christ is the believer's only
and all-sufficient wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. Christ is that holiness without
which no man shall see the Lord. That outstanding, powerful, short
statement was from preacher Wayne Boyd. Glory to God. Trust his
heart even when you can't trace his hand. A reading from Psalm
107, verse seven. And he led them forth by the
right way. that they might go to a city
of habitation. God's thoughts are not as our
thoughts, neither are His ways as our ways. This truth is strikingly
exemplified in the manner in which He led the Israelites from
Egypt to the Promised Land. We would have chosen the way
that was nearest and most direct. God decided otherwise. He led
them round about through the wilderness and that for the space
of 40 years. And not merely was it the most
distant way, but it was the most dangerous way as well. It was
a land of deserts and of pits, a land of drought and death,
a land that no man passed through and where no man dwelt. But as
strange as it appeared, We are fully justified in saying that
it was wisely arranged their long detainments, their tiresome
and circuitous wanderings, their fierce conflicts with the Moabites
and the Amalekites, the bitter waters which they had to drink,
and the fiery serpents which they were stung, all fulfilled
the high purpose of him who is excellent in counsel, as well
as wonderful in working. However contrary his way might
have been to theirs, yet he led them forth by the right way,
that they might go to a city of habitation. And his dealings
with his people now are still as unusual, and as much opposed
to all their preconceived plans, as were his dealings with the
Israelites. He has crossed their own schemes
and thwarted their most fondly cherished purposes. He always
affects His own ends in His own way. Christian, what is your
duty? Cherish high thoughts of Almighty
God and all His inscrutable dealings towards you. It is to trust His
heart even when you can't trace His hand, believing that all
the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep His
covenant and His testimonies. It is to follow His guidance
continually. For as He led His people of old
with the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night, so He
has promised to direct all your steps and preserve all your goings. It is to wait for His time. For although the way may appear
long and tedious, yet remember, all is well that ends well. And
what will the end be? The word of the Lord says, and
the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with
songs and everlasting joy upon their hands. They shall obtain
joy and gladness and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. That message was from preacher
John McDuff. Christ is our Jonah. Jonah 115. So they took up Jonah
and cast him forth into the sea and the sea ceased from her raging. Christ is our Jonah who threw
himself into the sea of his father's wrath to save us from everlasting
perdition. Outstanding explosive short message
from old-time preacher William Dyer. Thus saith the Lord, for
I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the
dry ground. I will pour my Spirit upon thy
seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring. Isaiah 44, 3. How
often does the soul born and taught of God feel that it is
this dry ground? It would fain be fruitful at
every good word and work. It would be adorned with every
grace of the Spirit within, and with every good and godly fruit
without. Let no one think that the child
of God is careless or indifferent, either as to inward or outward
fruit. There is nothing too holy, too
heavenly, too spiritual, or too gracious, which the child of
grace would not desire inwardly to experience and outwardly produce. But he feels that he cannot,
by any exertion of his own, produce this fruitfulness after which
he sighs. As well might a barren field
convert itself into a fruitful garden without being tilled by
human hand or without rain from the sky, as a soul that feels
and knows its own barrenness produce by its own exertions
a crop of the fruits of righteousness. But the Lord that knows the desire
of the heart and its inward mourning over its own barrenness has given,
in the text, a sweet and gracious promise. I will pour floods upon
the dry ground." A partial shower would not be enough. The dry
ground would soon absorb a few drops of summer rain. Floods
must come, either from the skies or from the streams of that river
which makes glad the city of God, to produce this mighty change. These floods are the promises
poured into the soul, the love of God shed abroad in the heart,
the manifestations of Christ and of his atoning blood, the
inflowings of grace as super abounding over all the aboundings
of sin and the flowing of peace as a river into the contrite
spirit. That was another old-timer preacher,
J.C. Philpott. A reading from Psalm
31, 15. My times are in thy hand. Deliver me from the hand of mine
enemies and from them that persecute me. In the year of our Lord,
18 and 25, preacher William Freeman Lloyd wrote the following words.
My times are in thy hands, my God. I wish them there. My life,
my friends, my soul, I leave entirely to thy care. My times
are in thy hands, whatever they may be, pleasing or painful,
dark or bright, as best may seem to thee. My times are in thy
hands, why should I doubt or fear? A father's hand will never
cause his child a needless tear. My times are in thy hands, Jesus
the crucified. Those hands my sins had pierced
are now my guard and guide. My times are in thy hands. I'll
always trust in thee, and after death at thy right hand shall
forever be. Amen. Grace and mercy. What is the difference between
the grace of God and the mercy of God? Someone wants to find
it this way. Grace is God giving to us what
we do not deserve, which is righteousness, peace, and pardon. Friends, please
see Romans 3.24 and Romans 6.23. Mercy is God not giving to us
what we do deserve, which is wrath, death, and eternal punishment. Friends, see Titus 3.5. Thank
God for His eternal, sovereign grace and mercy revealed and
experienced in the heart of the sinner, in Christ Jesus the Lord. 2 Corinthians 4, 6, and that,
friends, was from an unknown preacher of righteousness. The
believer's view of sin. We who believe the gospel of
God's free and sovereign grace in Christ Jesus should not view
our sinfulness and wretchedness to the point of despair and unbelief,
but we should never forget it lest we presume and become ungrateful
and proud. We need to realize that anything
we have from God is mercy and grace. from God in the Lord Jesus
Christ. This is true of all God's children,
from the least to the greatest. Just like the Apostle Paul, we
must all say, O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver
me from the body of this death? I thank God through our Lord
Jesus Christ. So then, with the mind I myself
serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. See
Romans 7, 24 through 25. God keeps all these things in
our minds, to show us continually that we can never trust ourselves,
but that our hope, confidence, and assurance is in Him who saves
us, keeps us, and blesses us in Christ. We rejoice in Christ
Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh. As one man wrote,
the more we are growing in the sense of our sins and infirmities,
the more shall we see our need of clinging more closely to Christ,
drawing more largely upon his grace and entering more fully
into the cleansing virtue of his atoning blood. As we acknowledge
and confess our sins, let us in faith acknowledge and confess
our salvation through shed blood and imputed righteousness of
the Lord Jesus Christ." And that message was from preacher Bill
Parker of Eager Avenue Grace Church, located in Albany, Georgia,
USA. What man does cannot change what
God has done. What man thinks cannot change
what God knows. What man says cannot change what
God has said. What man determines cannot change
what God has decreed. What man wills cannot change
what God has wrought. As it is written in Isaiah 14,
27, the Lord of hosts hath purposed and who shall disannul it? The
answer to that question is nobody. Hallelujah, the Lord God omnipotent
reigneth. That wonderful message was from
preacher Gary Shepherd of Sovereign Grace Baptist Church located
in Jacksonville, North Carolina, USA. Why God's preachers love
to preach on God's election. We preach sovereign election
not only because it is revealed in God's Word, exhibiting man's
total depravity and inability, but because it exalts a sovereign
God in His Trinity of Persons. It reveals the magnitude of His
Kingdom and defines who are the objects of the Father's everlasting
love, the travail of the Redeemer's soul, and the objects of the
Spirit's concern and care. Within election's hallowed bounds,
the whole seed royal of heaven are found by a seeking savior
and a searching spirit. Excellent, that was from preacher
Thomas Bradbury, long time ago. It is written in Isaiah 45, 22,
where our Lord Jesus Christ commands, look unto me and be ye saved,
all the ends of the earth, for I am God and there is none else
and the master It says in Matthew 11, 28-30, Come unto me, all
ye that labour, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn
of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest
unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden
is light. Friends, it is imperative that
you flee to Christ Jesus today, not tomorrow, for none of us
are promised another day on this planet. Today is the day of salvation. Call upon the name of the Lord
while he may be found, and seek him while he is near, only by
being in Christ, the ark of our salvation. May we be delivered
from the fierce wrath of almighty God, which is coming soon upon
the wicked. This about wraps up this evening's
broadcast. I trust Almighty God will awaken
His sleeping elect and draw multitudes of men, women, and children around
the world to His only begotten Son, Christ Jesus, the Lord our
righteousness. Yehovah sidken you. Bless the
name. Baruch Hashem. Hey, I would just
like to add, dear friends, do not tire of Crying unto the Lord
for the salvation of sinners your loved ones neighbors you
