Watchman's Calling with Todd Tomasella and Frank Telford

THE CALLING OF A WATCHMAN There are a lot of people in these chaotic times that are using the title of a watchman to describe the ministry work they are doing. While I am very encouraged by any one who puts his or her hand to the plow and is bold enough to sound an alarm there are some problems with understanding what a watchman really is. The watchman position was given to Ezekiel and he was asked by God to warn the people of impending judgement. 17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. 18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul. .....
