Sixteen years of writing these posts. It takes its toll in ways I don't even want to get into. I don't know how many times I would tap the 'publish' button and ask the Lord if that was the last one? I may very well do it after posting this.
I have a number of different goals in these posts. I want to introduce visitors to great ministries and great preachers from the past....Spurgeon and Martyn Lloyd-Jones....for evangelicals today have never heard preaching like this....and I would like to point them to ministries today that can carry them until they can find a real preaching church....which are few and far between....and I get to do this all the time in these posts....to people all over the world....and I'm so thankful for the opportunity!I want to shake pillars. By that I mean that I want to stir up pastors and leaders....even if it means that they get mad at me....for it may at least get them thinking again! I want to shake up friends.....yeah I'll lose many of them but I want to at least attempt to shake them out of the doldrums that they are most definitely in....wasting away on the most trivial pursuits.
I want to do something else....and in doing this I have to reach as many people as I can. I know these two things....and they are not conflicting statements.....I know that Jesus is at the very door....and I mean right now....that is statement one....and I know that if Jesus tarries.....which would mean that I am wrong....that the Father wants us to believe that Jesus is coming back right now....even if Jesus does tarry!
This is where the true hope and joy is! This keeps you focused! This stirs us up with zeal! I am so thankful to God....to be called a fool at times....for shouting so loud....Maranatha....Lord Jesus come....for I know even more....that His Word will not come back void!
So I post about all of this....and I know that I don't change many minds....but that is not my primary goal here. I want the visitor....and the reader....friends who have given it the once over and then went back to their games....I want all these folks to have this website....specialdogg.blogspot.com....in the back of their minds....because when they finally see that all the warnings from men like Billy Graham and MacArthur and Sproul....and so many others....when they finally see that these men were not just flapping their lips....and when the judgments become too pronounced to ignore any longer.....then they can come back here to fill in some of the blanks on things that they did not see....or even recall some of the warnings that they rejected....and this for encouragement....because we are all going to need strength and wisdom and encouragement in the days to come!
