Stephen Nichols: Jonathan Edwards

In this session, Dr. Stephen Nichols introduces us to one of America's greatest theologians. We often romanticize the lives of former saints, considering their lives "charmed." The life of Jonathan Edwards, perhaps America's greatest theologian, challenges this tendency. Despite enduring poverty, conflict, rejection, illness, and the death of loved ones, Edwards never failed to trust God's redemptive purposes for His people. Edwards marveled at the beauty of God's work in creation and among His people, and no hardship could stop him from expounding it.

Agree!

“Don’t call everything a conspiracy, like they do,
and don’t live in dread of what frightens them.

Make the LORD of Heaven’s Armies holy in your life. He is the one you should fear.
He is the one who should make you tremble.” (Isaiah 8:12-13 NLT)

All empires and nations are established by the LORD God Almighty. He has a purpose for everything. Have faith and trust that He is in full control. If we have to fear anything or anyone, fear Him! For He is the Holy One of Israel who created everything in the COSMOS. He is transcendent, absolutely Other, immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine. His words and promises are the only refuge the true believers have. The only secure place on earth - is the holy ground where God is with us while we are waiting and resting upon Him! Shalom🙏🙏🙏

Popular theologians never starved for material food, as the followers idolized their sermons, and made sure that the theologians that told them they were going to have their souls saved, were very well fed indeed. Martin Luther, (with his fat jowls) was one such well-fed theologian, who, in turn wanted the princes of the day to put the starving peasants to death for revolting. Never, ever, trust a theologian to tell you the truth. When Martin Luther was a Catholic monk, he did not preach that Jesus wanted men to marry. He later used the Catholic bible, to start a revolution of protesters, against the pope. That was how the word Protestant became the new rave of the day. “I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self.”
