Jonathan Edwards wanted his present life to be shaped by what would be most important upon entering heaven. Whatever is …

though I do not see the Bible slamming slavery to the extent that you do, the ways in which the Bible does condemn slavery are enough for me: that the slave trade is sin and injunctions for masters to treat slaves with love. Perhaps this is not Edwards, but there are historical accounts of the rare families who bought slaves to spare them hardships and provide them a home until they were ready live by themselves; I do not see this as sin. Good luck.
There have been men throughout history who have been unable to take the vow of poverty for the ministry. They cannot put Christ ahead of money. Every minister, no matter how good their intellectual writings who owned slaves compromised in this area, in order to increase thier wealth, (Mammon). The two greatest challenges for men, are sex, and money. It takes a FURIOUS discipline in prayer, word, ad worship to have self control in these areas. Obviously King, Edwards, etc, did not h
Yeah, i don't have much time to waste either. But i'm pretty messed up, so dealing with my fears, with my personality issues etc. is not at all waste of time. Giving myself time, having patience with my self is not at all waste of time. Of course i know, many of you think of procrastination right now – but if God has the patience with me, why should i feel permanently stressed of running out of time? Of time being like liquid gold (that flows out of my hands)?
if i'm called to ministry and i am not doing it… him emphasizing: "Do it!" will solve all my problems, blockades, and i will just simply be motivated enough suddenly? My need is not for someone to tell me something i know, but to help me find the things which obstruct me. The sermon is good, but this part is missing. HOW can i "just do it" if i couldn't till now?
The part where Dr Lawson says “liquid gold”…The part before that, just got me in the heart and face and mind and I couldn’t stop shouting YES!!! Man it changed me. Thank you
March 2023- since I heard this message a few years ago I hear it at least twice a year. It is wonderful and inspiring to hear of Johnathan Edwards’ resolutions to be the best Christian of his lifetime- resolution 63!
This is a great sermon. Highly recommend everyone listen to it. It really put my life into perspective. I think to myself about my grandfather having been deceased for over 22 years now and life is so short. I need to Listen to this sermon every month to remind me, or motivate me, to get moving.
Thank you so much good Sir…I'd be reporting about this great man: Jonathan Edwards and you gave me the enlightenment I need to have. Else it helped me reflect as a Christian myself. I hope I can convey the message the way God wants it to be delivered.

Thank you for this in-depth account and for sharing this I thoroughly was encouraged and may we learn from such Godly preachers . We need more of these than ever before
This man of God is really a inspiration to my spiritual life the Holy spirit helps me to follow all his teaching and preaching He preach with wisdom and knowledge and I love it thank you Jesus
Can it be assumed that all sanctification aimed at the glory of God, be a function of God's grace and power, regardless of any acknowledgment of said grace or power?
Regarding Predetermined Lifespans For Individuals 1) The fear of the LORD prolongs life, but the years of the wicked will be short (Proverbs 10:27). 2) Keep His decrees and commands, which I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the LORD your God gives you for all time (Deuteronomy 4:40). 3) Saul died because he was unfaithful to the LORD; he did not keep the word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for guidance, and did not inquire of the LORD. So the LORD put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse (I Chron. 10: 13) 4) If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that (I John 5:16). 5) Two believers, Ananias and Sapphira died prematurely because they lied to God about the price of some land that they sold (Acts 5:1-11). 6) When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful nature may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord (I Corinthians 5:4,5).
Isn't it interesting the way women always want to undermine their husbands authority as this man's mother did. Standing behind his father winking at him like Satan himself.
Reality, Christ Jesus is and He said clearly, if you love Me, follow. Or He is not and it doesn’t matter. And today in 2023 there is a billion worldly things desperately trying to delude us away from Christ. Remember the great delusion The Lord sends in the last days. That it makes men’s heart’s grow cold. You either are actively in love with Jesus Christ or not. There is the clear line of salvation right there. The Father demands absolute love and adoration for The Son. We go through The Son, period. And being in love with Jesus The Father is pleased with us and hears us. Sorry about carrying on. Stay in The Word, pray without ceasing and keep the armor on ! Jeremiah 20:11, The Lord is my Dread Champion !

This is an amazing sermon. Blessings to all who hear and are encouraged to make better use of their time for the sake of the Glory of God.

Um he's not talkiong about King Edwards! He is talking about the New England Puritan Jonathan Edwards!
He was talking about Satan influencing Peter!!

How about preaching the Bible and Jesus instead of men. Lawson is arrogant and denies us a personal relationship with God. God is a person not a book.
God bless him. No sell out here.

I know for some, learning about people like J.E. encourages them. It just depresses me. How can I measure up to even a fraction of this?

America is great, because God mercifully gave America great men & women.

Isn't it better to live your life and do what's right based on your love of what's right rather than fear of punishment?
Amen
Thank you.
This is powerful stuff!!
