I would like to be able to describe how the above sermon recording was made....but right now I do not know. I know that it is produced by Banner Of Truth.
My guess is that it was around 1990....and by this time....about eight years into my Christian walk....I was in Christian bookstores all the time....and there were a lot of them near me....in fact about ten years later we owned one! Anyway....there was this one Christian bookstore in New Castle, Pennsylvania....that I and my wife and son would drive to about once a month. I was Pentecostal in my theology at the time. Well I would return home after each visit with a new book.....but there was something different about a lot of the books that were on the shelves of this Christian bookstore. They had an icon on the spine of the book....of a man in a preacher's robe....holding up a Bible with on hand. Whatever they were....they were changing my Christian theology. I soon found out that the publisher with this little man on the spine was Banner Of Truth. We would later sell those books....and promote them....in the Christian bookstore that we opened up!
So that same publisher produced this recording of a sermon....not a sermon by Jonathan Edwards.....but it appears to be a sermon constructed around the thoughts and teachings....and other sermons of Jonathan Edwards. Whatever it is....it is profoundly powerful....as wonderful as anything that I have heard from Charles Spurgeon. By "profoundly powerful"....and...."wonderful".....I mean that the words penetrate....and like a fish hook....they do not want to pull out. Well that is how they affect me anyway. I've listened to it three times in the past week....and cannot wait to listen to it again.....but I'm wondering how these words would affect you....or if you would even listen to the sermon....but then I think that you might....for if it did not intrigue even a little bit.....I do not think that you would have read this far in this post!
