“And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth,” Exodus 9:16.
Preached by Rev. Ivan Foster on Lord’s Day, March 2 1986.
Here is, at least to some small measure, the faith and hope of Free Presbyterians some 40 years ago.
Is something of the same message preached today in our pulpits? The denouncing of ecumenical treachery and betrayal of God’s truth; the same protest against the political compromising in the face of Romanism’s, ecclesiastical and political, resurgence?
Or are there many of our pulpits silent on such matters and are there ministers who seek fellowship with those, described in our Presbytery’s statement, entitled: ‘OUR STAND ON SEPARATION’, as ‘brethren who maintain fellowship with those who deny the faith.’
If this is so, what a dishonouring of the God who has been so merciful to us as a denomination and what a judgment we will most surely face if there is not a repenting and turning back again to the ‘Old Paths’ of Scriptural obedience!
