Christ does not accept anyone who is not for Him. Passitive ego-centered sophisticated "objectivity" takes souls to Hell. We can't come to Christ with our intelligence, it requires the Spirit of God. If you stay away from church for 3 Sundays in a row, you are backslidden. Backsliders are deadly. Hollensen tells about neutrality in the seminary. http://javafoundry.com/hollensen/224.mp3 http://javafoundry.com/hollensen/224.mp3 30:51 Rev Martin E Hollensen no Tue, 27 Sep 2016 06:09:12 -0400 lhall@javafoundry.com (Lee Hall)Lutheran,classic,sermons,Hollensen,Emanuel,Marion,43302 Unknown date A Message from John the Apostle A Message from John the Apostle http://javafoundry.com/hollensen/223.mp3 http://javafoundry.com/hollensen/223.mp3 38:44 Rev Martin E Hollensen no Mon, 26 Sep 2016 19:30:33 -0400 lhall@javafoundry.com (Lee Hall)Lutheran,classic,sermons,Hollensen,Emanuel,Marion,43302 5/30/1965 Love God and Love Your Neighbor Love God and Love Your Neighbor http://javafoundry.com/hollensen/221.mp3 http://javafoundry.com/hollensen/221.mp3 29:52 Rev Martin E Hollensen no Sun, 25 Sep 2016 07:20:32 -0400 lhall@javafoundry.com (Lee Hall)Lutheran,classic,sermons,Hollensen,Emanuel,Marion,43302 5/10/1965 Train up a Child The importance of Christian child rearing. http://javafoundry.com/hollensen/220.mp3 http://javafoundry.com/hollensen/220.mp3 30:57 Rev Martin E Hollensen no Sat, 24 Sep 2016 06:22:23 -0400 lhall@javafoundry.com (Lee Hall)Lutheran,classic,sermons,Hollensen,Emanuel,Marion,43302 7/17/1972 50th Ordination of Rev Baseler and 35th Ordination of Rev Hollensen A guest minister explains the difficulties of being a minister, and the times of Rev Baseler and Hollensen. http://javafoundry.com/hollensen/218.mp3 http://javafoundry.com/hollensen/218.mp3 26:49 Rev Martin E Hollensen no Wed, 21 Sep 2016 21:42:52 -0400 lhall@javafoundry.com (Lee Hall)Lutheran,classic,sermons,Hollensen,Emanuel,Marion,43302 11/14/1965 Thunder, Lightning, and Sunshine Advice from 28 years of preaching from the same pulpit.
