The Old Preacher (The Word of God NOT Fair Speeches) - Pastor Nelson Turner
Pastor Nelson Turner of http://www.av1611reformation.com/ - a ministry dedicated exclusively to the word of God in the English language, the AV1611 King James Bible and proclamation of the Doctrines of Grace contained therein to the honor of the Lord Jesus Christ - preaches this sermon (with additional readings from the writings of the John Newton, and Rev. Thomas Scott, who succeeded Newton as pastor of Newton's congregation.)
Pastor Turner, in a sermon for the benefit of all - but of particular importance to those who, in the name of the Lord, preach God's word and purport to teach His Elect - demonstrates from God's word and the pastoral readings that Christian pastors and those who place themselves under them have instructions from Holy Scripture and church history how to conduct themselves in humility to the Lord. All are to exert special care to avoid vain exertions, the pride of man, wicked imaginations, and departure from sound doctrine in their spiritual devotions and service to the Lord God.
Please note the distinctive character of Pastor Turner's ministry: bold before the enemies of the Lord and His eternal word; not afraid of what man may say if the Lord has spoken. This is not a self-named ministry. This is not a ministry in search of love offerings. This ministry is not promising salvation to anyone from the formulaic recitation of the Sinner's Prayer.
Pastor Turner, by the grace of the Lord God, preaches the word of God from the AV1611 King James Bible for the instruction and spiritual edification of the Elect saints of God wherever they might be. The word of God is the final authority in all matters of faith, practice and doctrine; and questions of meaning in particular passages of the Holy Scriptures must be resolved by further study of the Scriptures, not appeals to popes or church fathers or underlying meanings in the texts of other languages.
We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that the word of the Lord may have free course and be glorified; and that all thanksgiving, praise, honor and glory be unto the Lord now and forevermore.

Doctrine of Election - Understanding and Appreciating the Blessed Truth
These words from Thomas Scott, from a written work published (LETTERS AND PAPERS OF THE LATE REV. THOMAS SCOTT, 1825, Thomas Whiting, New Haven, Conneticut. Pages 238,239)
"And now, if in fact God does regenerate one, and leave another unregenerate, and thus makes one to differ from another, it is plain that he does it intentionally; that is, he intended to do it before he actually performed it: and if it be just and right in God to actually do this work for one and not another, it could not be unjust or wrong in to intend to do it-unless it can be wrong to intend to do right: and, if God might justly intend to make a difference half an hour before he made it, he might with equal justice, in his foreknowledge, intend to make it from the foundation of the world: and this is all I suppose the scriptures mean by election.
Nor can any thing be objected against this view of this...doctrine, which does not equally go to deny the justice of God in regenerating one and not another: that is to say, stripped of all its false colorings, to deny God, the sovereign of the world, that right which each of his subjects claims to himself, to do what he will with his own.
If any man suppose that God is indebted to him, let him make his claim, and it shall assuredly be paid him: but if God owes us nothing, be we have ungratefully rebelled against him to whom we owe our all; and, when invited and intreated, refuse to be reconciled in his way, or unless he excuses us, and blames himself and his law, to humor our pride and self-love; what awful impiety it is to charge him with partiality and tyranny because he does what he will with his own, and has mercy on whom he will, and them only!"

The Heavenly Footman - Pastor Nelson Turner - AV1611Reformation.com - 12-18-2011
"The Heavenly Footman" a sermon by Pastor Nelson Turner of www.AV1611Reformation.com was preached on the Lord's Day, 12-18-2011, from the word of God in the English language, the AV1611 King James Bible for the edification and instruction of the Elect of the Lord God wherever they may be throughout the entire world here and hereafter. This sermon was inspired in part by the writings of John Bunyan which have been a recent study of Pastor Turner and concerns the spiritual warfare: how it is conducted; the weapons available; who wins in this warfare, and through Whom and by what means it has been made possible for us to win. Significantly, one wins the prize. That one is the Lord Jesus Christ, and those who are united with Him as a branch is joined to the Vine. Apart from Him we can do nothing. If this is a blessing to you, please write to Pastor Turner at the address in the contact link on the AV1611Reformation.com website.
Idols In The Wilderness (part 1) - Pastor Nelson Turner - 1-1-2012 - AV1611Reformation.com
\
In this Lord's Day sermon from January 1, 2012, Pastor Nelson Turner of www.AV1611Reformation.com addresses the topic of idolatry and how readily mankind turns away from the right worship of the Lord God in spirit and in truth to pursue cunningly devised fables, and ceremonies of men. Every distraction which wastes the time allotted to us; squanders the resources with which we have been blessed; or sets our affections above attentiveness to the word of God as the primary -- indeed total -- application of our minds, hearts, souls and strength is a kind of idol which we need to cut down, grind to dust and burn outside the camp lest we be found guilty of spiritual whoredom. We, the Elect of the Lord, have been ransomed at a great price, even the blood of the Lord, and to whom much has been given much is expected. We should tremble to trifle with the Lord by setting aside our duties toward Him for the sake of worldy pursuits that do not by any rationalization have Him in view.
