Preaching in the Flesh?

The new site is call Justification by Grace and it should launch with an article or two tomorrow, the anniversary of Martin Luther’s nailing his famous 95 Theses to door of Wittenberg’s “Castle Church.” Even after that site is launched, I will still be posting articles on The Renewed Mind blog, such as this one:
In a message Paul Washer preached several years ago, he told of preaching in a church where an elder approached him afterward, saying something like this: “Brother Paul, you preached the truth tonight…. But you did it in the flesh and you need to get down on your knees and repent.” Sobering words indeed.
Though I haven’t researched exactly what sermon I heard Brother Washer say that, the story stands very clear in my mind because when he related it, I could, also, relate. No, I was not rebuked by an elder in the church in that same way; however, there were a few times several years ago, that I have come away from the sermon, convicted even to tears at times, falling on my face before God in repentance. I continually pray that I might be alert, not slumbering to the truth, that I may be ever submissive to Him and constantly communing with Him, so as not to fall again: “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall” (1 Corinthians 10:12).
