The Old Preacher

[rocknanchor]

'Tell me the old,old story of Jesus and His love'

Hymns such as this spans the divides, shouldn't "His love"?

 

[quietbloke]

His love knows no bounds thank God

 

[quietbloke]

'Tis old yet ever new'

 

[quietbloke]

Visiting a nursing home to visit an old preacher. Trust that I am a blessing to him. He is certainly a blessing and inspiration to me!

 

[quietbloke]

I love to sit at the feet of God's servants.

 

[quietbloke]

'It was down at the feet of Jesus,O the happy,happy day that my soul found joy in believing and my sins were washed away'

 

[quietbloke]

The Psalmist said,'Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil,for Thou art with me'

 

[musicalpilgrim]

The old preachers shared the gospel even when dying.

How wonderful to read!

my friend is dying and is an amazing witness to her family and friends, I still pray for healing, for the Lord to bless her, although I understand that this life is only temporary and our real home is in eternity...

[rocknanchor]

There’s an old preacher Jesus told us about that some may not appreciate me saying so, but it’s true and brutally unfortunate. For he has been preaching in his region for a long time.

“Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day. “And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores, and longing to be fed with the crumbs which were falling from the rich man’s table; besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores. “Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. “In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. “And he cried out and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.’ “But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. ‘And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.’ “And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father’s house— for I have five brothers—in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ “But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ “But he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!’ “But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”
(Luke 16:19-31)​

The Old Preacher echoes “Be saved!”
“Be Blessed!” echoes the rich Inner Man.

Had a great time visiting an old preacher again. There is always so much wholesome conversation. I love listening to wise men.

'Nearing Home', by Billy Graham is a wonderful read that I am enjoying so much.

'Just as I am' by Billy Graham

Right. How could we forgo that Apostolic preacher whom confessed “now aged”

“, ,I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.”​

“Scholars estimate that Paul the Apostle was between 62 and 68 years old when he died.”

By those days standards, old. Should the condition of natural force dictate what God can do at any point in this life?

David Hathaway is still receiving prophetic vision in his old age and bringing the message of the Gospel of Christ to the nations.Eurovision Missions to the nations.
