Watchman’s Calling [radio] Todd Tomasella with Frank Telford [podcast]

Frank Telfored writes:

“Being a watchman is a calling but it’s not for everyone. We see the Lords judgement coming and we sound the alarm daily. Even under those circumstances we still take care of our families, we still give a honorable effort at work, we still look for opportunities to encourage others, we still laugh, we still keep pressing forward. God has taught us how to thrive in the last days. Even though the sword is coming, to us it is our redemption. We face the end of the age with no fear whatsoever. Keep sounding that trumpet whether they hear it or refuse just never put it down.”

“And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious. 8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.” Ezekiel 2:7-8

DO you have a 20/20 vision? Read Acts 20:20 and get it!

“Acts 20:20   I KEPT BACK NOTHING. Paul preached whatever he believed was useful or needful for the salvation of his hearers. A minister of the gospel must be faithful to declare the whole truth of God to his people. He must not seek to please their desires or gratify their tastes, nor to promote his own popularity. Even if he must speak words of reproof and rebuke, teach doctrines that run counter to natural prejudices, or preach Biblical standards that oppose the desires of the flesh, the faithful preacher will deliver the whole truth for the sake of the flock (e.g., Gal. 1:6-10; 2 Tim. 4:1-5).” Life in the Spirit Study Bible, Donald Stamps, p. 1705

“Acts 20:26   I AM PURE FROM THE BLOOD OF ALL MEN. The word “blood” is used normally in the sense of bloodshed., i.e., the crime of causing someone’s death (cf. 5:28; Mat. 23:35; 27:25). (1) Here it means that if any should die spiritually and be lost forever, Paul would not be blamed. (2) If overseers do not want to be held responsible for the perishing of those under their ministry, they must declare to them the whole will of God.” Life in the Spirit Study Bible, Donald Stamps, p. 1705

Love protects therefore love warns. Jude 3; Phil 1:17; 2 Cor 5:11

"Warn them from Me": The 3 Things Paul did to Protect God's People [podcast]

The 3 Things Paul did to Protect God’s People [podcast] Jesus and His holy apostles often rebuked and exposed false leaders and false doctrine (Matthew 23; Acts 13:10; 20:29-31; Galatians 5:11-12; 2 Timothy 4:2-4; 2 Peter 2; 2 John 7-11; Revelation 2:6, 15, etc.). Therefore we know that part of following Jesus includes doing the same. In fact, the body of Christ is mandated to do just that (Romans 16:17-18; Philippians 1:17; Jude 3-4). PWT = Preach, WARN, Teach “Whom we PREACH, WARNING every man, and TEACHING every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in […]

Grace Abounding

“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18 WHEREVER you see sin in the world, or in your own life, remember that there is a way out – God made that way through His only begotten Son. All sin can be overcome and so repent and be refreshed and REJOICE because where sin is, God’s grace can abound much more: “Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:” Romans 5:20 Is such […]
