Elder Freddy Boen, born April 10, 1938, died October 30, 2021. Our featured sermon was preached at the night service at Luling Primitive Baptist Church in Texas. This message also includes several hymns and opening prayers. Brother Freddy preached this sermon over 32 years ago! This sermon is a well-presented defense of the practice of feet-washing, prompted by a caller who asked why Primitive Baptists wash feet. So this message addresses various objections to foot washing. He will present six objections to washing feet. But Brother Freddy first makes an introductory remark that every preacher should note as he enters the pulpit, "Why do I want to preach?" He answers three ways: "to inform, cause to believe or disbelieve, and motivate." We ought to know how to defend what we believe the Bible teaches. And Preachers ought to give solid reasons as to why!
Here are the six objections He answers:
1 - Feet Washing was not done at the Communion Service;
2- Feet Washing is only a Jewish custom;
3- Feet Washing is only taught in one place in Scripture;
4 - Feet Washing is just an example;
5- Feet Washing is not comfortable, and:
6 - Feet Washing is not proper for the sisters.
In addition to the objections addressed, Elder Boen will go over John chapter 13, highlighting several good points for your remembrance. Please note that the recording ends before the final comments. We do hope the memory and words of Elder Boen will be a blessing to you. If you have any comments, please forward them to PBS.org!
