Puritan Board Sophomore
My pastor who has been teaching me for about 2 years wants me to teach in the children's church on Sunday mornings. He feels that I have been gifted to teach/preach. The only problem he has is, what he calls, the intelectual level that I am on is so much higher than the children. I am not being boastful. I am actually very scared. I know those who teach are held to an extreme acountabilty before our Creator. Inside of me, I really want to do it. I want to go and preach the Gospel of Christ and Him crucified. But as I study the Scriptures and read books like A.W. Pink's "The Sovereignty of God" I get more and more deep seated in my Reformed Theology. I have been trying to destroy the doctrines of the Reformed Faith, but every time I read the Scriptures these truths we hold are affirmed and reaffirmed. The so-called Calvinist's of our day are too scared to go out and preach it!
I am feeling like Spurgeon. These Truth's are burnt in my conscience and to sit back while my Lord gets blaspheamed for the sake of Church growth and humanly love. I believe in the Absolute Sovereignty of God. When one believes this, IT REALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN HOW ONE LIVES.
Anyhow, I am speaking at a Wednesday night prayer meeting on July 28th. I will be preaching on John 10, and showing how 2Peter 3:9 relates to the Sheep and not the whole world!
Sorry for the babbling.
