Excellent talk. Blessed by it! It's hard to argue with the contention that Whitefield is the greatest preacher since the apostles. One who possibly came close was John Sung, the great Chinese preacher of the 1920s to 1940s, who also preached with great fervour & effect.
Great message, as usual from Dr. Lawson. One comment about his earlier You Tube sermon on Whitefield several years ago, with comments disabled. Most likely this has long been corrected, but the word "Gloucester" is most likely easy for the Englishman, but is also easy to pronounce incorrectly by others (including me years ago, when I was corrected). The first syllable is like "claw" and the first "e" is not pronounced: "Glaw-ster."
If someone had the evangelistic zeal of a person like George Whitfield today there would be a conference with people that pick apart everything he says and criticized and books written to criticize him . These same people would tell others that he never preached anything to influence theology.

Why ,? Mr. Whitfield whenever I hear you preach you preach you must be born again Mr. Whitfield ,leaned in intently and said to the questioner “you must be born again ! “
Whitefield stands alone among evangelists. Basically, there's everyone else, and then, there's Whitfield.. . . there's just nothing else that can be said.
I so greatly admire Lawson's passion and preaching. That said, however, I find somewhat strained or perhaps undermining how he always presses continually Calvinism's predestination. I just don't see predestination the way Calvinists preach it. I say that in light of what Peter wrote: that God predestined us according to His foreknowledge. That said, I greatly admire Rev. Lawson's uncompromising championship for the cross and Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
If say hold tightly to Jesus! He will move you and keep you. The Catholic Church went too far speaking of men. Let Jesus out of everywhere or let me say let Him be all in your life. Jesus alone will change everything about you and the world
How many times did I cry listening to this? Too many!
It's my belief that Whitfield was an amazing instrument of God during America's birth. I'll say it, I believe God used our forefathers for their signatures only. These were all men who called upon the name of God but rejected the name of Christ. Like always, here comes God speaking through Whitfield and it just brings in throngs of masses. God's plan will always prevail and I believe in revelation we will see there was a lot going on here spiritually where God had to become involved.
In the movie the gladiator the general says something like. "Rome in its infancy was so fragile even a whisper could knock her over." I believe America in its infancy was so fragile over spiritual warfare, without the intervention of God through the Holy Spirit who dwelt in men, we would of been a more degenerate place during this time. In our infancy we needed the tender care of Jesus. Now that we are grown, we think we know what's best and it's led our country down a road leading to judgement.

Why am I crying while watching this
why can't we see such men today O GOD?
If someone had the evangelistic zeal of a person like George Whitfield today there would be a conference with people that pick apart everything he says and criticized and books written to criticize him . These same people would tell others that he never preached anything to influence theology.
Why would someone dislike this?
Amazing book! Finished it in one day.

This man is a great preacher by God's grace. Great man of God, whom God has used for the conversion of many.

John Wesley is probably greater but he’s not reformed so is ignored.

Thank you so much pastor Steve Lawson ❤️
Aaaaand they're taking his statues down
Love whitefield
I love awesome men & women of God.
May God give us 1000 men like Whitefield.
Praise the Lord! 🙌🙌🙌
It's all because of Jesus. The One who loved us and gave His life for us.
Praise God.
Thank God for his life 🙏🙌
That's why i love Lawson, he's the most extremist preacher.
This is inspiring. Definitely buying that book.
It was said that Whitfield would weep as he pleaded for sinners to come to Christ!
Oh that we had preachers like this today 🙏🏻
“I hold to the Calvinistic scheme not because of John Calvin because Jesus Christ has taught it to me “George Whitfield

Goodness

You need Whitefield in your bloodstream?
Thank you Steve Lawson
Thank you! This is what is missing in our churches today. All head and no heart seems to be the norm not the kingdom of God!
George was on fire.
Wow!
Over the Top Emphasis on BUYING HIS BOOK damages the integrity of the message.
We need evangelist as George Whitefield. Today. Tdy we have preachers that preach what people want to hear not what they should hear.
Where can I get a book of the zeal of George Whitefield.
Whitefield preached the three R's: Ruined by sin; Redeemed by the Savior; Regenerated by the Spirit.
I love hearing Dr. Lawson Preach
Powerful! Where are the preachers today! Will the real preacher of God stand up!
I think Whitefield would turn in his grave if he knew how many times his name was mentioned in this talk.
Awesome Lawson as always.
