The Voice Of One Crying Out In Suburbia

This is one of the most powerful sermons I have every heard, one that grabs hold of the text and holds on for dear life, and one of the most difficult texts to preach there is, Leviticus 10, the death of the sons of Aaron. It is preached by R.C. Sproul as part of a series of talks given at Piper's Pastor's Conference. If this is typical of the talks given, I can't wait to hear the rest! I wonder how many preachers would find this to be a good sermon? It is a sermon that focuses on the Holiness and Justice of God Almighty. It is not full of cutesy stories and anecdotes, not full of emotional driven appeals to get people to "make a decision". It is a sermon that sets out the Holiness of God and lays bare of sinfulness before Him. There is far to little of that coming from pulpits today, a condemnation on many a preacher who is too timid to preach that sort of message and on many a Christian whose ears seek tickling and wants to hear nothing about God except how much He loves them. God bring us repentance, revive our spirits, change our hearts. Remind your people of your wrath, so that they may understand just how gracious the sacrifice of your Son truly was.
