The Gospel As Presented By Erick Ludy

This is a precious video! It is about the Gospel and is presented by Eric Ludy. He has been influenced by some of the people I have, including Charles Spurgeon and George Whitfield to David Wilkerson and Keith Green. I smiled when I read "Keith Green".  His song "Asleep In The Light" impacted me mightily when I as a prodigal returned to my Father. You can read more about Eric Ludy at the bottom or go to the website listed. As always, be a Berean and judge what the teachers are saying by the written Word of God, the scriptures.

BRIEF SPIRITUAL HISTORY
Eric Ludy was born in Hinsdale, Illinois, December 17th of 1970 to Winston and Barbara Ludy, a strong Christian couple who highly valued the Scriptures and were hungry to live out an authentic Christian life.  His parent’s convictions proved a strong influence upon his young soul, and Ludy yielded his life to the Person of Jesus at the age of five while sitting on his mother’s lap.  Ludy grew up exposed to many differing denominational perspectives within the Christian church tradition but never proved either hungry for spiritual matter or thirsty for greater understanding of the Kingdom of his Lord throughout his pre-college years. His mother and sister believed strongly in the power of prayer and wielded their confidences in the direction of God winning over Ludy’s young soul.  The effect was quite dramatic.  For though he had never showed much of a spiritual spark of givenness to the great Gospel commission since his commitment at the age of five, in his Whitworth College dorm room on February 2nd, 1990, Ludy encountered God Almighty and was forever altered.  “My new life began that day!” Ludy declares.  It was after reading the book, No Compromise - the Life Story of Keith Green, that everything seemed to suddenly click, and Ludy found himself on his knees before the Living God letting go of life as he had always known it. “From that day,” Ludy says, “I have been all about Jesus Christ.” 

HIS DENOMINATION

When Eric Ludy is asked about his denominational leanings, he very simply says, “Just stick Leonard Ravenhill, C.T. Studd, Hudson Taylor, Rees Howells, and Charles Spurgeon into a blender, and that’s pretty close to what I believe.”  Ludy is a “deeper life” advocate, a strong proponent of the supremacy of Christ and of the sufficiency of the Word of God.  

The following is the dedication in the front of his Ellerslie Training Curriculum:  

I have found spiritual gold in many different places throughout my life.  Outside of my dear parents and Leslie’s parents, there are twenty-six greats (from the past two centuries) that have most influenced my Christian thinking and living in our modern times.  And since their thoughts are found speckled throughout these notes, I wish to honor them here, as a reminder to all the students gleaning wisdom from this training, that the strongest Christian leaders are but a consecrated quotation of the giants of faith that have proceeded him - C.T. Studd, Hudson Taylor, George Muller, Rees Howells, AW Tozer, William Booth, Amy Carmichal, Richard Wurmbrand, Leonard Ravenhill, Paris Reidhead, Corrie Ten Boom, George Whitefield, John Wesley, David Brainerd, Charles Spurgeon, EM Bounds, John Hyde, Jim and Elizabeth Elliot, Keith Green, Jackie Pullinger, DL Moody, Major Ian Thomas, Gladys Aylward, David Wilkerson, and Oswald Chambers.  I dearly desire my life to be a quotation of such an audacious band of mighties.
