"What's The Big Deal? I've Had Thirty Or Forty Years Of Sermons!"

            Well it's only another 24 hours for another glorious Lord's Day! Glorious in that in many churches all around the world....brothers and sisters in Christ....my brothers and sisters and your brothers and sisters....will meet together and hear the glories of our Lord and Savior and Coming King preached! Let us all pray for these humble men to be empowered by the Holy Spirit to carve and to mold....and to apply fire and then a balm to our vexed souls in this evil age!
            My brother-in-law just returned from the Philippines hours ago. His text that I just received described how so very poor they are....the family that he visited.....but so very spiritually blessed! A former pastor just returned....also hours ago....from Africa.....after ministering for years as a missionary in an even poorer South Sudan....and he arrived with a beautiful adopted son! 
            We will....Lord willing....because of obligations to an elderly family member....stream our worship service....and be able hear of our glorious God and His gospel! John MacArthur....(I just looked at the church bulletin on its website).....will not be in the pulpit for the eleventh straight Lord's Day. God interrupted his pulpit ministry as he was preaching through Revelation....this at the eleventh chapter. We need his voice on a national level.....along with John Piper and so many other faithful pastors whose ministries are expanded even throughout the world!
             I realize that many of the readers here cannot really understand some of my comments..."What's the big deal? It's just a sermon. I've had thirty or forty years of them?" Try this....after you return home tomorrow....and you are still wondering what I'm talking about....close the world off and open your computer....and Google up names such as Spurgeon or Martyn Lloyd-Jones or Piper or MacArthur....along with....'sermon YouTube'....and then should God will it....you will understand!
