The Gospel Trumpet

The Gospel Trumpet Gospel Trumpet is a non-profit organization that promotes biblical, Reformed Christianity through two ministries: radio broadcasts and sermon distribution.

The ministries are an outreach of the Heritage Reformed denomination of North America. The sermon distribution ministry consists of contemporary, Bible-based sermons by ministers of conservative Reformed denominations. Most of the writers are from the Heritage Reformed denomination. The sermons aim to address relevant topics in our day. Their goal is to glorify God, nurture and strengthen believer

s, and convict and win unbelievers to the cause of Christ. Three sermons are contained in each booklet sent out. They are printed as often as funds permit and then sent to thousands who have requested them. The radio preacher is Dr. Joel R. Beeke, president and professor of systematic theology and homiletics at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary and pastor of the Heritage Netherlands Reformed Congregation in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Dr. Beeke is a worldwide conference speaker and prolific author. Presently, Dr. Beeke's sermons are aired each Sunday evening in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Producing the sermon booklets and purchasing air-time for the radio ministry requires significant funds. By the grace of our LORD, we have some generous donors who support these ministries. If, however, you've been blessed by these ministries and feel that these ministries could be a blessing to others, please consider donating. We are a non-profit organization listed with the IRS and can therefore issue donation receipts to US taxpayers.

“Whether our anger be carnal or spiritual may be thus discerned; if it hinder not but quicken our holy exercise of prayer and other religious duties: if it |interrupt not our meditations, nor withdraw us from performing our duty to the party offended, neither make us peevish [ill-tempered] to others, it’s spiritual, not carnal.”
Ezekiel Culverwell, Time Well Spent, 11.

“Many there are that suffer the sun not only to go down upon their anger, but to run his whole race, yes, many races, ere they can be reconciled, whereby their anger becomes inveterate and turns into malice, for anger and malice differ but in age.”
John Trapp, The Marrow of Many Good Authors, 1071.

“Anger should not be a burning coal from Satan's furnace; but a blazing coal from God's altar. It should resemble fire in straw; which is as easily quenched, as suddenly kindled. He that would be angry and not sin, must be angry at nothing but sin. Let not the sun go down upon your wrath, neither give place to the devil. He that carries passions to bed with him, will find the devil creep between the sheets.”
William Secker, The Nonsuch Professor, 94.

“Thou a Christian and carry hell-fire about thee! how can it be? When we see a child furious and revengeful, that comes of merciful parents, we use to say, we wonder of whom he got his currish, churlish disposition; his father and mother were not so. Who learns thee, O Christian, to be so revengeful and unmerciful? thou hast it not of thy heavenly Father, I am sure.”
William Gurnall, The Christian in Complete Armor, 371.

“There is a necessary holy anger, which is the whetstone of fortitude and zeal. So, it is said, Lot’s righteous soul was vexed, 2 Pet. 2:7. So Christ himself, He looked round about him with anger, Mark 3:5. So ‘Moses's anger waxed hot,’ Exod. 32:19. This is but an advised motion of the will guided by the rules of reason. Certainly, they are angry, and sin not, who are angry at nothing but sin. It is well when every passion serves the interests of religion. However, let me tell you, this being a fierce and strong motion of the spirit, it must be used with great advice and caution.”
Thomas Manton, A Practical Exposition on the Epistle of James, 58-59. (italics mine)

“There is a just and lawful anger, for it is said, ‘Be ye angry, and sin not.’ We may be angry, where God is angry, as Jacob, Moses, Nehemiah and Jeremiah were. But their anger was holy, temperate and short.”
Isaac Ambrose, The Christian Warrior, 116. (italics mine)

“Anger is a tender virtue, and such as by reason of our unskillfulness may be easily corrupted and made dangerous. He that in his anger would not sin, must not be angry at anything but sin.”
John Trapp, The Marrow of Many Good Authors, 1070. (italics mine)

“Angels are exact and careful observers, and eye-witnesses of our behavior and deportment in the public ordinances. To this end were the curtains of the tabernacle pictured: full of cherubims, to signify, that about our solemn meetings, whole troops of angels take notice of our carriage [behavior]. Surely, if this were considered, we should be very serious in God’s worship; yea, how spiritual and heavenly should we be, if our hearts were but fixed on these glorious angels?”
Isaac Ambrose, Ministration of, and Communion with Angels, 100.

“Concerning angels, it is true that they and ministers are fellow-servants; (Rev. 22:9) but yet ministers have sundry [various] prerogatives above them.
1. Angels rejoice at the conversion of a sinner; (Luke 15:10) but by the ministry of prophets, sinners are converted unto God. (Acts 26:18)
2. An angel was sent to Cornelius, to advise him whither to go to be instructed; but a minister instructed him in the way of life. (Acts. 10:6, 34)"
Thomas Gouge

“The promise of angel-protection, as all temporal promises, runs with this tacit reservation and condition, always provided that God in his infinite wisdom, for reasons best known to himself, do not judge the contrary more conducing to his glory, and our inward good. We know Job was afflicted, that he might be tried; and the Lord doth sometimes suspend the protection of his angels, that we may the more depend upon himself.”
Isaac Ambrose, Ministration of, and Communion with Angels, 61.
