Will God Use Preaching To Harden People? | Pastor Patrick Hines Reformed Christian Podcast #shorts

8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: "Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here [am] I! Send me." 9 And He said, "Go, and tell this people: 'Keep on hearing, but do not understand; Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.' 10 "Make the heart of this people dull, And their ears heavy, And shut their eyes; Lest they see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And return and be healed." 11 Then I said, "Lord, how long?"

Today we will look at the many times in biblical history and recent church history that calls from faithful men to the church to repent have fallen on deaf ears. The church today, perhaps more than ever, is on the precipice of a theological dark age. Some think we're already in it. The time for doctrinal reformation is now. The need for God to bring true revival through that doctrinal reformation is greater now than perhaps it has ever been. We will look also at the 1996 Cambridge Declaration - a call to the church to repent of its worldliness, recover and confess the truths of God's word as did the reformers, and to see that true embodied in doctrine, practice, and life - also fell for the most part on deaf ears.
