Podcast appearances and mentions of George Whitefield

Romans 8:16 — Continuing his sermon series on the Holy Spirit, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones answers an important theological question: does the sealing of the Spirit actually exist? The short answer, he says, is yes. In his sermon on Romans 8:16 titled “The Witness of History,” he combs through historical accounts of Christian thinkers, pastors, and theologians who have experienced God's sealing of the Spirit to give evidence for this Christian phenomenon. Many of the names are recognizable as Dr. Lloyd-Jones quotes these famed Christians through the centuries. He reads the works of George Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, D. L. Moody, Charles Spurgeon, and many more. He remarks on how astonishingly similar are these accounts of God's sealing of the Spirit. These theologians write about being overwhelmed by emotions, a profound sense of peacefulness, and a life-changing understanding. Dr. Martyn Lloyd Jones explains that the sealing of the Spirit is an emotional understanding of a Christian's salvation that might occur within a believer's life. It is not necessary to a person's salvation but it is a great gift of God's choosing to give. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/603/29

How Are Cultural Shifts Making Evangelical Trends Look Like Revival? Good Faith "founding friend" David French joins Curtis Chang for a powerful conversation on revival, revolution, and the future of American Christianity. Together they explore whether today's supposed spiritual movements signal a genuine renewal of faith or a political realignment within evangelical culture. From Gen Z's shifting beliefs to the rise of MAGA Christianity, they unpack the tension between true repentance and political identity. David and Curtis offer fresh insight into how Christians can pursue authentic spiritual growth while navigating a deeply divided cultural landscape.

There is much talk of awakening, revival, and 'quiet revival' in the churches in the West at present. While we wish to avoid the extremes of sensationalism and cynicism, it is right for us to hunger to see God move again, and to give ourselves afresh to studying how the Lord has moved in the past. This week's piece helps us to reflect on one aspect of the Great Awakening of the eighteenth century: the Lord's work among young people and children.   Featured resources: – Ian Shaw, 'Young People in the Great Awakening', Banner of Truth Magazine, Issue 169 (October 1977).   On the Great Awakening and men associated with it:  – Jonathan Edwards, Thoughts on the New England Revival: Vindicating the Great Awakening (Clothbound, 304 pages) – Joseph Tracy, The Great Awakening (Clothbound, 472 pages) – Select Sermons of George Whitefield (paperback, 200 pages)   More from the author: – Ian Shaw's article, Phillis Wheatley (1753–1784), in the present issue of the Banner of Truth Magazine (November 2025, no. 746).     Explore the work of the Banner of Truth: www.banneroftruth.org Subscribe to the Magazine (print/digital/both): www.banneroftruth.org/magazine Leave us your feedback or a testimony: www.speakpipe.com/magazinepodcast

When we think about the 18th-century church, we think of famous preachers like John Wesley, George Whitefield, and Jonathan Edwards. Few people know there were also black pastors preaching the gospel. One of these, Lemuel Haynes, was probably the first African American ordained by a mainstream Protestant Church in the United States. Join Sophia, Linus, and Sean as they ask Dr. John Saillant, author of Black Puritan, Black Republican: The Life and Thought of Lemuel Haynes, to tell us more about this important pastor who was well-respected as a preacher and author in his day.   Show Notes: Episode #82 about William Carey and missions to India was mentioned several times during this episode.

Vemos dos mensajes: de Abraham Lincoln y de George Whitefield. La lectura de estos mensajes dura en el audio hasta el minuto 16:14, y luego hay comentarios. Son dos mensajes relevantes, donde se tratan algunas cosas esenciales, y que nos dan pie, luego, en los comentarios, a subrayar algo en torno al más grande "milagro" que estaríamos ahora presenciando. Lincoln y Whitefield hablan por ejemplo de lo inconmensurable que es el ámbito celestial... o de algunas cosas muy importantes sobre la relación íntima con Dios, etc. El tema general que agrupa estos mensajes en este apartado 11 es el de la "expiación vicaria", es decir, el tratamiento dogmático de la figura de Jesús, por el que se entiende falsamente que, gracias a su muerte en la cruz (y otras cosas relacionadas), se habría conseguido algo en relación a nuestra alma. Jesús sí fue una figura vital para el tema de nuestra alma y la relación con Dios, tal como hemos visto y empezamos a comprobar. Pero las creencias falsas que lamentablemente asolan todavía hoy a casi todas las formas de "cristianismo" son, paradójicamente, muy dañinas ─dañinas en cuanto a, digamos, la efectuación o al "éxito" de llevar a cabo la relación de amor con Dios─. Estos mensajes que aquí leemos y comentamos fueron dados por varios desencarnados y por espíritus ya celestiales (como Jesús de Nazaret), durante unos años a partir de 1914. Están ordenados temáticamente, tal como los muestra la versión que ofrecen del pdf en "Divine Truth". ─ La página con el texto y el enlace al audio, etc., es:: https://www.unplandivino.net/padgett-1-11-40 ─ El título de este audio es: " 1/11:40-41) 11.

The sermon centers on Jesus' parables of the mustard seed and leaven in Luke 13:18–21 to reveal the nature of the kingdom of God as growing not through force or sudden transformation, but through humble, gradual, and organic expansion. Drawing from historical examples like Amy Carmichael's faithful, small-scale mission work and George Whitefield's quiet, persistent evangelism on a ship, the preacher emphasizes that the gospel advances not by worldly methods—such as mass revivals or political power—but by the inward transformation of hearts through the Spirit. The message calls believers to patience and faithfulness, rejecting the temptation to accelerate spiritual growth through manipulation or spectacle, and instead trusting God's sovereign work in individuals and societies over time. Ultimately, the kingdom begins insignificantly but will culminate in a mighty, visible reality, as the Spirit works unseen yet surely in the world and in the lives of believers.

John Wesley was an Anglican cleric and Christian theologian. Wesley is largely credited, along with his brother Charles Wesley, with founding the Methodist movement which began when he took to open-air preaching in a similar manner to George Whitefield. In contrast to George Whitefield's Calvinism (which later led to the forming of the Calvinistic Methodists), Wesley embraced Arminianism. Methodism in both forms was a highly successful evangelical movement in the United Kingdom, which encouraged people to experience Christ personally. Wesley believed that this doctrine should be constantly preached, especially among the people called Methodists. In fact, he contended that the purpose of the Methodist movement was to "spread scriptural holiness across England." Throughout his life, Wesley remained within the Church of England and insisted that his movement was well within the bounds of the Anglican tradition. His maverick use of church policy put him at odds with many within the Church of England, though toward the end of his life he was widely respected . ••• RESOURCE - https://www.soundcloud.com/thewaytogod/ . ••• RESOURCE - https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/mclean/kjv/john.1%20 .••• FERP250927-Episode#400b GOT250927 Ep400b . ••• The Secret Behind the Believers Dominion, Part-8b: The Secret of Grace, Segment-2 .Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/fresh-encounter-radio-podcast.

After an introduction, George Whitefield's classic 18th century sermon is delivered, showing the timeless relevance of God's word to our experience of persecution in every century of the Church. Whitefield's sermon begins at 8:27.

Charlie Kirk fought a good fight. He went into the public square and proclaimed Jesus and His moral standard...unto death. This is a MUST HEAR sermon. My voice is shot from the public declaration of Christ, His Gospel, and His moral standard. Nevertheless, the truth of Romans 1:16 went forth with strength that is not my own. There are many lamenting Charlie Kirk's death, many jumping on his bloody coat tails, but will we do what Jesus did, the Apostles did, George Whitefield did, and Charlie Kirk did? Will we stand up for Jesus courageously? Will we not be ashamed of the Gospel of Christ? Will we go therefore? Or will we just be pretenders and cowards who watch Mrs. Kirk pick up where her husband fell on the field of battle? May God wake up His Church through the violent and bloody death of Charlie Kirk and send her forth with strength, courage, and genuine love for Jesus and perishing sinners! May God raise up a million men to stand in the public square in Charlie Kirk's place! This is NOT my final sermon on Charlie Kirk, his life, his mission, his death, the evil of Leftist/Woke/Trans ideology, and God's plan to turn the world upside down through the public proclamation of His truth. God willing, that will be preached next Sunday. I simply did not have time to prepare properly this Sunday.

Most Christians are familiar with John and Charles Wesley, as well as George Whitefield, who were among the leading promoters of the English Revival. However, there is much more to discover about that period of church history. Listen as Trinity, Christian, and Mina talk to Rev.

In a world flooded with half-truths and political spin, are we settling for what just sounds right instead of what is right? This short reflection asks a pointed question: how many times do you need to be lied to before you stop trusting the source? Featuring a sobering quote from George Whitefield and a look back at 2020's “mostly peaceful protests,” this piece is a challenge to seek truth—not a version of it that's convenient, but the real thing. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit clintmorey.substack.com

In this episode, we look at George Whitefield's response to John Wesley's sermon Free Grace, published more than a year later.

Ros Clarke and Lee Gatiss talk about the controversial and brilliant George Whitefield.

In this episode, we focus entirely upon John Wesley's sermon, Free Grace, which he preached at the end of his first month in Bristol. This sermon articulates John's distinction between predestinarian thought and Biblical thought (in his mind) and sets the stage for the dispute between John Wesley and George Whitefield that will split the nascent Methodist movement.Please give us a rating and review wherever you get your podcasts.You can find us online at www.historyofmethodism.com.You can support us online at patreon.com/historyofmethodism. 

'He did not get up to talk about his party, his cause, his interest or his office', wrote J. C. Ryle of George Whitefield. 'He was perpetually telling you about your sins, your heart, Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, the absolute need of repentance, faith, and holiness, in the way that the Bible presents these mighty subjects.'  This week we turn our attention to a man who, by God's grace, became a means in the salvation of thousands of souls in the eighteenth century.    Featured Resources: – David Campbell, 'George Whitefield: The Power of the Gospel', Banner of Truth Magazine, Issue 699 (December 2021). – Bob Thomas (collator, introduction), 'Encouragement from the Eighteenth Century: Extracts from Arnold Dallimore's Biography of George Whitefield', Banner of Truth Magazine, Issue 737 (February 2025).   Resources on Whitefield: Dallimore, Arnhold, George Whitefield: The Life and Times of the Great Evangelist of the 18th Century Revival (2 volumes, clothbound, 1232 pages, also available as single volumes) Philip, Robert, The Life and Times of George Whitefield (paperback, 588 pages) Vandoodewaard, Rebecca, The Man Who Preached Outside (board book) Select Sermons of George Whitefield, With an Account of His Life by J.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 26th of May, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go straight to the word of God, to the Book of Isaiah 53:3:“He is despised and rejected by men,A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.”I want to speak to you this morning about rejection. What is rejection? Well, according to the Oxford Dictionary it is to be shunned, to be cast off, to be turned down, to be snubbed, to become unpopular. Jesus knows exactly how you feel today, my dear friend. If you have been rejected, I know what it means, and I know what it feels like, but Jesus really knows. Not only does He know but He cares. He cares for you and most of all, He understands what you are going through.The great revivalist, George Whitefield, who lived in the 1770's said, “If you are going to walk with Jesus Christ, you are going to be opposed. In our days, to be a true Christian is really to become a scandal.” Now that is heavy going. Who is going to make you a scandal? It will probably be nominal christians, christians who say, “Lets live and let live and if that guy wants to live that lifestyle, leave him, and if that woman wants to do that, lets just have peace.” That's not what God called us to do. He called us to be salty, He called us to be different, He called us to stand up for truth and righteousness and give us a passion for lost people, hurting people, sick people and rejected people! DL Moody, another great evangelist said, tongue in cheek, but it is true, ‘If everybody has got something good to say about you, be sure, Jesus has got nothing good to say about you.” It's true, isn't it? Because if everybody has got something good to say about you, you are luke-warm, you are like salt that has lost it's flavour and is only good to be cast out in the street and trampled over. So be encouraged today if you are rejected because you are standing up for truth and righteousness, and know that the Lord is very proud of you and when He comes back to take us home with Him, He will recognise you.God bless you and goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 25th of May, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Romans 3:23: “…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, …” “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16Why did God send His only Son down to earth to die for your sins and my sins? Do you know why? Because God knew we could never make it to Heaven on our own because there is not one person on this earth, apart from Jesus Christ, who is without sin. It is impossible for a man to work his way to Heaven. Did you hear that? Impossible. Now, I love George Whitefield, the great English evangelist who died in his mid-fifties, but he said something I have never forgotten. I am laughing because I want you to think about this. He said, “It is easier to go to the moon with a rope made of sand than it is to work your way to Heaven.” In other words, it is impossible.I remember many, many years ago, I had the privilege of ministering at a funeral. The gentleman that had died was a very good friend, and he had a very checkered background, he had made some mistakes in his life. He had done some things that he regretted, but one thing I did know about him is that he loved Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour, and he was born again. I said at the funeral, ‘I know this man is with Jesus, not because he was a good man but because he was a believer.” And at the end of the service, a neighbour came up to me and he was furious. He said, “How can you say that good people don't go to Heaven?” I said, “Good people cannot go to Heaven, only believers can go to Heaven.” He was not very happy, but you know, before that man died, his son had led him to the Lord Jesus Christ.Today, do not fool people and try and tell them that because they are good people they are going to Heaven. That is not the truth. It is only believers in Jesus Christ that will go to Heaven.Have a wonderful day,God bless you and goodbye.

The Methodist Church has split and one side is growing fast. In this episode, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany Cocker unpack the theological roots of Methodism, why nearly 5,000 churches have joined the Global Methodist movement (a fairly new denomination), and what makes this tradition so distinct in today's world. They explore the historical foundations of Methodism, the influence of John and Charles Wesley and George Whitefield, and how the movement developed across England and the American colonies.Here's What We Discussed:00:33 – The Roots of MethodismHow the term “Methodist” began as a slur, and how the Wesley brothers and George Whitefield formed a movement focused on prayer, discipline, and Scriptural devotion.03:04 – John Wesley in AmericaJohn Wesley's short-lived ministry in colonial Georgia and how his personal struggles helped shape the future of Methodism.05:58 – Charles Wesley's HymnsCharles Wesley's theological influence through music, and why his hymns remain central to Methodist worship today.10:06 – George Whitefield's Evangelistic ReachA look at Whitefield's powerful preaching ministry, which reached an estimated 80% of colonial America, and his foundational role in the Methodist revival.13:05 – United vs. Global Methodist: The Modern SplitKey reasons behind the recent division, including differing views on biblical authority and Scriptural application.17:11 – A Typical Methodist Worship ServiceWhat to expect on a Sunday in a Methodist church: a blend of liturgy, creeds, music (both hymns and contemporary), and Scripture-based preaching.20:10 – Church Leadership & Governance An overview of the Methodist church's conference-based structure, role of bishops, and lay participation in decision-making.22:05 – Wesleyan Theology & Sanctification What “Christian perfection” really means in Methodist theology, and why the emphasis on sanctification and personal salvation sets this tradition apart.Key Quote:“One of the things that sets Wesleyan theology apart is John Wesley's view on what came to be known as Christian perfection, or entire sanctification. Wesley didn't teach that Christians become sinless in this life, but that we can, through God's grace, grow into full maturity in Christ. That means being wholly devoted to God and to loving others. The deeper you go into the sanctification process, the less you're going to sin.” – Pastor Jeff CranstonWe love your feedback! If you enjoyed this episode, leave us a review.

Scripture Reading: Psalm 3 (2 Samuel 13-16) Sometimes we can read the stories behind our hymns, like the loss of Horatio Spafford's four daughters before he wrote “It Is Well With My Soul.”   The stories enrich our understanding of these songs.  One of the things that makes Psalm 3 interesting is the superscription before verse 1, which tells us the background behind the Psalm.  It reads “A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom, his son.”  The story is found in 2 Samuel 13-16 and it is the heartbreaking account of rape, revenge, and an extremely strained relationship between David and his son Absalom.  It was strained to the point that Absalom orchestrated a coup to take the throne of Israel for himself, in opposition to his own father.  As a result of this treasonous conspiracy David is forced to flee his own throne and country, running for his life from his own flesh and blood.  His cry to God in this terrible circumstance is recorded in Psalm 3. David's strength and hope lies in (1) the nature of God (Psa 3:3), who is a deliverer and comforter; (2) the faithfulness of God in the past, when God answered David's prayers (Psa 3:4); and (3) the reign of God over this situation (Psa 3:8; cf. 2 Sam 15:25,26; 16:11,12).  The result of this consideration in David's heart was courage and the shattering of the grip of fear.  “I will not be afraid of many thousands of people” (Psa 3:6).  This Psalm is a great encouragement to us as we face difficulties of every kind.  Let us not live in fear.  Let us learn to say, as George Whitefield said, "We are immortal until our work is done."

Francis Franklin, father of Eliza, was born on December 9, 1772 in Mursley, Buckinghamshire. He was the youngest of seven children; his parents being William and Mary Franklin. Just before he turned 15 he moved to Oxford to apprentice as a cabinet and chair maker to his cousin, John Payne. He regularly attended the parish church, as he had been raised, but found the Baptist ministry of James Hinton to be more useful. He also took up the habit of reading, especially George Whitefield's sermons. For more information, visit CBTSeminary.org

What happens when religious institutions claim exclusive rights to salvation? The spiritual and historical consequences are far more dangerous than many realize.The American Soul Podcast tackles the troubling phenomenon of denominational gatekeeping, examining a recent statement by a Cardinal claiming, "Only the Catholic Church possesses the fullness of the means of salvation." This bold assertion contradicts the very foundation of Christian belief—that Jesus Christ alone is the path to salvation, with no denomination or institution standing as intermediary.Scripture never mentions specific denominations as pathways to God. Rather, it consistently points to Jesus as the singular hope for humanity. When we read in Matthew 9 how Jesus ate with tax collectors and sinners, declaring "I did not come to call the righteous but sinners," we see his rejection of religious gatekeeping in favor of direct spiritual relationship.The historical consequences of institutional religious power serve as sobering warnings. Drawing from the Book of Martyrs, we examine how religious persecution flourished whenever an institution claimed infallibility and exclusive spiritual authority. This pattern repeats throughout history, whether in religious contexts or political ideologies that demand absolute loyalty.As Americans, we should remember both our spiritual and national foundations. The Great Awakening preacher George Whitefield's words still ring true today: "The door of mercy is not yet shut. There does remain yet a sacrifice for sin, for all that will accept of the Lord Jesus Christ."What's keeping you from turning to Jesus Christ directly? As this episode concludes: there's nothing standing between you and Christ except yourself. No denomination, no human institution can claim to be the exclusive path to salvation when Scripture clearly teaches otherwise.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Pastor Mike Abendroth dives into the often-overlooked art of listening to a sermon, using insights from the great 18th-century preacher George Whitefield. Drawing from Whitefield’s six key principles, Mike discusses how believers should approach sermons—not merely as passive listeners, but as active worshipers seeking transformation. He emphasizes the importance of coming with a teachable heart, diligently paying attention, avoiding undue criticism of the preacher, and making personal applications of the message. Mike also unpacks the need for prayer before, during, and after a sermon, recognizing that true spiritual change depends on God’s power. Filled with humor, historical anecdotes, and biblical wisdom, this episode is a practical guide for those who want to maximize their engagement with God’s Word every Sunday.   Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/P6zhFN2Dvqs Produced/Edited By: Marrio Escobar (Owner of D2L Productions)

Exodus 33:1-23 — What should the church do when it is compromised and apathetic? Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones argues effectively that the answer is revival. In this sermon on the backslidden church from Exodus 33:1–23 titled “Revival of a Backslidden Church,” Dr. Lloyd-Jones gives four essential steps to revival: 1) the church must identify with the state of the people; 2) it must separate to meet with God; 3) it must be urgent in prayer; and 4) it must want more of God. First, Moses saw the state of the people and reacted by standing in the gap and preached truth to the people, even if people did not react favorably. Today's church must do the same. Second, he moved the camp out from the people, and those who are spiritually alive, says Dr. Lloyd-Jones, must do the same. He notes the examples in church history such as the Wesley brothers, George Whitefield's “Holy Club,” and others. Next, Dr. Lloyd-Jones argues, “Orthodoxy alone will not win the battle” but Christians must urgently pray with faithful expectation. They must pray with “holy boldness.” Lastly, Dr. Lloyd-Jones urges the Christian not to settle, but to desire more of God. Moses desired more of God than he was given (lest Moses die), but the result was still a powerful manifestation of God.

It's Monday, October 14th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus How Muslim Malaysia might curb religious liberty of Christians Human rights activist Siti Kasim recently raised concerns over a proposed bill that would significantly undermine religious freedom in Malaysia located in Southeast Asia.   If this Muslim-majority nation, with 63% practicing Islam, passes the bill, Muslim courts would be granted greater authority, potentially eroding the rights of non-Muslims, reports International Christian Concern. Kasim argued that the bill, which aims to strengthen the role of Islamic law in the country, could have far-reaching consequences. She pointed to historical examples, such as Lebanon, where a once-dominant Christian population was gradually marginalized as Islamic influence grew. Malaysian Christians would be well advised to heed the truth found in Proverbs 28:1 which says, “The righteous are as bold as a lion.” Kamala Harris enjoys slight lead over Donald Trump According to Real Clear Politics, which averaged America's top 10 presidential polls taken between September 30th and October 9th, Kamala Harris has 49.2% support among likely voters compares to Donald Trump who has 47% support. Kamala refused to answer Colbert's question about what would change Recently, Kamala Harris has appeared in a series of interviews with friendly, fellow liberals. She made an appearance on CBS' The Late Show with Steven Colbert. COLBERT: “Polling shows that a lot of people, especially independent voters, really want this to be a ‘change' election, and that they tend to break for you in terms of thinking about change. “You are a member of the present administration. Under a Harris administration, what would the major changes be and what would stay the same?” HARRIS:  “Sure. Well, I mean, I'm obviously not Joe Biden.” COLBERT: “I noticed.” HARRIS: “And so that would be one change in terms of but also, I think it's important to say with, you know, 28 days to go, I'm not Donald Trump. (cheers, applause) And so when we think about the significance of what this next generation of leadership looks like, were I to be elected president, it is about. “Frankly, I, I , I love the American people, and I believe in our country. I, I, I love that it is our character and nature to be an ambitious people. You know, we, we have aspirations. We have dreams. We are. We, we have incredible work ethic and, and, and I just believe that we can create and build upon the success we've achieved in a way that we continue to grow opportunity, and in that way, grow the strength of our nation.” First, Colbert's assertion that Kamala is perceived as the “change agent” is laughable since she has been in office for the last four years. Second, Kamala never answered Colbert's question about what policies would change and what would stay the same. Kamala on The View: Would have done nothing differently over 4 years Kamala Harris also appeared on ABC's The View.  Sunny Hostin, a liberal co-host, asked this. (Watch the show here). HOSTIN: “If anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?” HARRIS: “There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of, and I've been a part of, of most of the decisions that have had impact.” On this liberal-loving show, Harris asserted that she would have done nothing different despite the fact that inflation is through the roof, our southern border is porous and dangerous, and Russia and Hamas both felt emboldened to start wars because of the weakness of the Biden-Harris administration's foreign policy. David Brainerd, missionary to Indians, an inspiration to other missionaries And finally, October 9th marked the 277th anniversary of the death of David Brainerd, the famous Christian missionary to the Indians, who died of tuberculosis at the young age of 29. According to Ligonier Ministries, he was one of nine children born to Hezekiah and Dorothy Brainerd. David's father, a man of extreme scrupulousness in the Christian life, died when he was only nine years old.  Then, a month before his fourteenth birthday, his mother died, which left young David incredibly distraught. On the Lord's Day, July 12, 1739, at the age of 21, after a long battle with his resistance to the doctrines of the sovereignty of God and original sin, Brainerd wrote, “The Lord, I trust, brought me to a hearty desire to exalt Him, to set Him on the throne and to ‘seek first His Kingdom.'” Then, in September 1739, only two months after his conversion, Brainerd entered Yale College in New Haven, Connecticut. During his first year, he contracted measles, which sent him home for several weeks. In his second year, he began to spit up blood, an early warning sign of tuberculosis. He first experienced the flames of revival in 1741 under the ministries of George Whitefield, the fiery evangelist from England, and Gilbert Tennent, a Presbyterian pastor from New Brunswick, New Jersey. A commencement address in 1741 at Yale by Jonathan Edwards invited further criticism from the faculty, who were increasingly opposed to the Great Awakening. Edwards argued that the Great Awakening had been sent from God and gave credibility to the students in the college who had experienced revival. In 1742, fueled by revival zeal, Brainerd was expelled from Yale for his remark that a tutor in the college had no more grace than a chair.  The Yale drop-out was animated by God's call of Isaiah: "Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?' Then said I, 'Here am I; send me.'” (Isaiah 6:8) From 1743 to 1747, he served American Indian tribes in Massachusetts and New Jersey. It was in the Garden State that God brought awakening to the American Indians, adding more than one hundred to Brainerd's growing congregation. While experiencing sickness, extreme hardship, and loneliness, Brainerd often took up his pen to write of his increased love for the American Indians under his ministerial care. His heart longed to show them the glory of Christ through the preaching and teaching of Scripture. Due to his battle with tuberculosis, he left the mission field and rode his horse to the home of Jonathan Edwards in Northampton, Massachusetts, arriving on May 28, 1747.  Edwards' 17-year-old daughter, Jerusha, oversaw his care, became engaged to Brainerd, contracted tuberculosis from him, and died several months later on February 14, 1748. After Brainerd's death on October 9, 1747, Jonathan Edwards discovered the young preacher's diaries and believed they would be of immense value to the broader Christian world. In 1749, with an introduction, Edwards published the journals as The Life and Diary of the Rev. David Brainerd. Missionaries Henry Martyn and William Carey devoured Brainerd's diaries as encouragement of what God can accomplish through frail but willing vessels of mercy.

In this week's episode, Dr. John Snyder and Teddy James engage in an imaginative discussion. What if we could bring back masters in their fields like J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, George Whitefield, Albert Einstein, or Hudson Taylor to teach us in Northeast Mississippi? If they were to offer tutoring near our homes, we'd do whatever necessary to be present and prepared to learn from them. As previously discussed, wisdom has called out to us. God Himself has promised to teach us His word. Sadly, we often approach Scripture unprepared, uninterested, and unwelcoming. Yet, there's no greater privilege in human life than meeting with our Creator. Therefore, we must come to Scripture filled with prayer, crying out to the One who is willing and able to teach us all we need to know. But how do we read and study well? John provides helpful tips on approaching personal Bible study. He and Teddy then discuss how to pray while studying Scripture to maximize its impact on our pursuit of holiness. We'll delve deeper into this subject next week.
