Old Fashioned Repentance

"Repent,
repent,
repent,
was the message rung out by John the Baptist in the wilderness.
Christ's message to the people was "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." Luke 13:5.

And the apostles were commanded to preach everywhere that men should repent.



The Lord desires His servant today to preach the old gospel doctrine,
sorrow for sin,
repentance, and
confession.


We want old-fashioned sermons,
old-fashioned customs,
old-fashioned fathers and mothers in Israel.

The sinner must be labored for, perseveringly, earnestly, wisely, until he shall see that he is a transgressor of God's law, and shall exercise repentance toward God, and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. When the sinner is conscious of his helpless condition, and feels his need of a Savior, he may come with hope and faith to the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world. Christ will accept the soul that comes to Him in true repentance. A broken and contrite heart He will not despise.
