I came across this today as I was sitting in the doctor’s office to have my shoulder examined. To read the story on how I injured it, click here.
This passage, from Arnold Dallimore’s two-volume biography of George Whitefield
“And what manner of men will they be? Men mighty in the Scriptures, their lives dominated by a sense of the greatness, the majesty and holiness of God, and their minds and hearts aglow with the great truths of the doctrine of grace. They will be men who have learned what it is to die to self, to human aims and personal ambitions; men who are willing to be ‘fools for Christ’s sake’, who will be reproach and falsehood, who will labour and suffer, and whose supreme desire will be, not to gain earth’s accolades, but to win the Master’s approbation when they appear before His awesome judgment seat. They will be men who will preach with broken hearts and tear-filled eyes, and upon whose ministries God will grant and extraordinary effusion of the Holy Spirit, and who will witness ‘signs and wonders following’ in the transformation of multitudes of human lives.”
Men, mark your calendars now for January 28 & 29, 2011. Steve Farrar will be our guest this year. You will not want to miss this weekend.
Looking forward to this event with great anticipation!! God was so obviously present this year! Everyone should bring someone!
Soli Deo Gloria!
