Beatitudes and the Lords Prayer

Reverend John Martin, III diligently and faithfullyexpounds upon the most profound words of the Christ. You will find John Martin loyal to Jesus and faithful toMatthews God-breathed text. It is asif Reverend Martin forces the text through the winepress and brings forth arich glass of royal vintage that brings honor to the King of vineyard. Pastor Martin is faithful to his maxim thattheology is practical. Maintaining hishigh view of the church and his love for the Lords sheep, John Martin impartsthe Lords Prayer and the Beatitudes in a manner that exhorts the Christian,This is the way, walk ye in it. IsMartin a moralist as so many who take on these passages? God forbid!Martin is no moralist. Hepresents the beatitudes of Jesus as the characteristics of those who havepartaken of the new birth. I have heardthese sermons. They are robust andpowerful. Reverend Martin has the fireof Knox, the precision of Calvin, the compassion of Luther, the humility ofEdwards, and the potency of Rushdoony.May our gracious Lord bless your understanding of His word as presentedby His servant, John.Rev.
