Divine Priorities and Other Messages
Overview
In this collection of nine sermons, preached within the context of a World War, Ironside implored his congregants to reconsider their priorities at the same time that their country—embarking on a massive war effort—was re-examining its own. To whom do we owe true allegiance? Can rationing goods for the war effort teach us something about our devotion to Christ? After all, says Ironside, Christ is more deserving of our obligations. In these sermons, Ironside covers the life and work of Jesus, missions, and the connection between divine healing and the atonement. Ironside also responds to a Roman Catholic priest’s allegation that Protestantism lay at the source of the world’s problems and that it ought to be abolished.
