I recently stumbled upon this historical sermon by a real man of God.
Enjoy,

Are you saying that you are not a real man of God?

Since some upon this board think a womanizing drunk is a "real man of God" I request the name of the "real man of god" lest my ears become adulterated by clicking on some Occultic-teacher-cum-Pentecostal.

Gerald, your ears are safe....look at the link. Wheaton College, BGC
(Billy Graham Center )...so i'm sure it is very evangelical and not to pentecostal.....

I searched the archives but could not come up with a name either...I listen to the sermon and it is really good. It has the style of A.W. Tozer, but the voice sounds different. A.W. Tozer is one of my favorites.

Jim Elliot, the 28 year old minister, killed during the "End of the Spear" incident in the jungles of Ecuador (January, 1956). I have been fascinated with this testimony of the five missionaries killed while attempting to share the gospel with indigenous tribes. I stumbled upon Elliot's sermon while looking for information on the subject. It's humbling to me to listen to the sermon of a real martyr for God.
For more on the subject, see Life Magazine (January 30, 1956), the movie "End of the Spear", or the documentary "Beyond the Gates of Splendor".

Jim Elliot is amazing, as is his first wife, Elizabeth. Her book, The Shadow of the Almighty chronicles Jim's story. Run, don't walk, to buy that book and read it!

Speaking of the End of the Spear incident, I love this video of Mincaye, the Waodoni tribesman who speared two of the missionaries and then gave his heart to Christ -- giving a word of encouragement. Steve Saint, son of Nate Saint, one of the five killed, is interpreting.

I thought Elizabeth was his only wife. Could you explain "first wife"?

Ha--you are right. I was thinking of her and her three (total) husbands and confused myself.
Thanks for clearing that up!
