“ Christian faith. ” Excellent message. A living faith is meditating to the things of God, is walking in constant communion with God, is growing in the knowledge of His Word and is a praying faith.
“ Great Sermon! ” Dear Pastor, Thank you for your wonderful message, applied with wisdom and anointned with the Spirit.
God bless you, your family and ministry.
In Christ alone, Lia Leigh.
“ one mention ” he says attend a church. i believe that but it should be explained what a church is. how that 2 or more together in God's name are a church. because many agnostics i know hate Christianity because of hypocrites in the churches. and i believe there are few good churches at least in my area.
“ Great Sermon! ” Dear Pastor, Thank you for your message. I am a missionary in Nigeria (thank God for the internet). The book of Daniel is not 'milk' for babes. There are so many difficulties there about timing, history, the coming of the antichrist...But I thank you for bringing me back to the Cross and to the Crucified. I receive peace in my soul afresh by listening to your preaching. May God bless you, your family and ministry, in the name of Jesus, amen. Lia Leigh.
“ Great Sermon! ” I quiver when I hear such profound truths, I cannot contain myself, this is my understanding of giving up the milk of the WORD and digesting solid biblical food. I like sermons like these that makes me tremble with hot and cold blood rushes through my whole body. I fear our Mighty GOD'S wrath, yet I find comfort in His Grace and Mercy. Thank you. GOD BLESS!
“ Great Sermon! ” Extremely Great Sermon and title, this should be sealed by the Blood of JESUS into the hearts of many, the other 2 comments says it all. I mean I really like it alot and yes I am struck with awe. Thank you, GOD Bless you Pastor Prutow.
“ Great Sermon! ” Professor, thanks for modeling the point of this sermon in the structure of it! I was blessed -- and challenged -- to preach simple truths that grip the heart and transform lives. May the Lord continue to raise up RP preachers who cause the pulpits, and the mission fields, and the living rooms ring with the Good News of Jesus Christ! Thanks for your labors in the church, in the Seminary, in your writing, and -- especially -- in the pulpit!
“ Great Lecture! ” For all who wrestle with the issue of office as it pertains to the Ministry of the Word and Sacrament, this is a very helpful and clarifying lecture and one that I hope all teaching and ruling elders in the RPCNA and other Reformed and Presbyterian denominations will consider. Well done Dennis!
“ What Christianity is ALL about! ” This sermon begins with examples of very old Christian folks who are nonetheless full of life -- bearing much fruit! How did these elderly people arrive at this wonderful condition? They were NEW CREATIONS! Being "in Christ" as a NEW Creation makes ALL the difference -- it's essentially what Christianity is all about.
Now, becoming this new creation inaugurates a necessary and ongoing struggle involving the "good fight of Faith," and we must daily put on the "new man" and put off the old things which hinder our walk as a NEW Creation.
Beyond being informative, this is a very practical message. Listen to it only if you wish to be challenged to BE who you are in Jesus Christ: the Gospel believed and applied.
“ Excellent Sermon! ” Nothing but Good Bible Truth here.
Thank God for a teacher such as Dr. Prutow who doesnt fall for the non-biblical silly fantasies of dispensationalism and popular fiction.
“ Another Great Sermon! ” Dr.Prutow's early stuff is just as good as his newer material, I'm here to tell you. Another very enjoyable sermon, this one. I could listen to this guy all day.
“ Excellent Sermon! ” Man, this guy is good!
I've listened to alot of sermons on here by alot of different speakers and I have to say this fellow ranks right up there with the best of them. We are indeed blessed to have Dr. Prutow's sermons to listen to. Thanks for posting them on Sermon audio and thank you Sermon Audio for existing!
“ Great Sermon! - Hypothesis of Evolution ” I agree that The Theory of Evolution is ridiculous, however, It is actually not even a theory. I was taught in high school about the "Scientific Method". It is a series of steps that one takes a hypothesis through in order to officially call something a theory.
Well, this so-called theory of Evolution does not even make it through this scientific method. It is actually still only a hypothesis, by Science's own definition. Of course, They will never admit this.
“ Great Sermon! ” Thank you Dr. Prutow for defending Psalm singing from the Book of Revelation. Seeking to promote Psalm singing, critics have often used Revelation 15 to counter me. Your demonstrating that Revelation is patterned after the Psalms, quotes the Psalms and has the same message of the Psalms is very instructive. I will be using your sermon to help persuade others to look again an the need and benefit of Psalm singing. Thanks for your insights and exegetical defense of our singing the Psalter.

“ Response to Jago from Australia ” Here are four thoughts for consideration.
First of all: [1] Following the pattern of Hebrew poetry, [2] carrying the theme of Christ's kingship, and [3]quoting the psalter, this song of Revelation, by its example, points us back to the psalter.
Second: Modern hymns are not composed using the patterns of parallel thought used in Hebrew poetry. Such patterns are foreign to modern hymnody.
Third: The technical procedure used to transpose the patterns of thought used in Hebrew poetry into western style is known as prosody. It is similar to the translation process and is used to convey the thought and intent of the original.
Fourth: The parallel paterns of thought used in Hebrew poetry are easily transfered into different languages. This is part of the beauty of Hebrew poetery not found in other forms of poetery.
“ Great Sermon! ” But the point is, it is not a psalm. It is a song written after the pattern of the psalms and has some of the ideas from the psalms, but it is not one of the psalms. Many of our hymns and gospel songs follow these same criteria. Very few people seem to sing the actual psalms as written. They rearrange them to fit our notions of musical metre. They even alter the words to fit. [See the response by Dr. Prutow]
