Zealous for the Lord e-bog

Hanserd Knollys (1609-91) was a godly pastor/leader and prolific writer among the early Calvinistic Baptists of the seventeenth century. His life and ministry demonstrated a heart for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Despite imprisonment and persecution, he preached the gospel continuously and asked nonbelievers to "e;open the door"e; of their hearts to Christ. As for believers, he exhorted them to worship God "e;in spirit and truth,"e; live holy lives in both "e;the form and power of godliness,"e; and prepare and watch for the imminent second coming of Christ. As his friend Thomas Harrison said, "e;He was a Preacher out of the Pulpit as well as in it."e; It is hoped that this summary of his life and timeless message will spur believers to reach the world with the gospel.
