DEDICATION FOR “PRIME THE PUMP”
First, and foremost, “Prime the Pump” must be dedicated to the honor and glory of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit! Before creation, while the Triune God experiences perfect fellowship, the Sovereign, Triune God decrees to speak creation into existence “ex nihilo”—out of nothing, because nothing (not even one scrap of a thing) existed. God decrees to create a vast universe with man created in the image of God Himself, having mind, will, and emotion. God would create man, which includes both male and female, in “unconfirmed holiness”—without sin present in his nature—for his will to confirm his nature through obedience or disobedience. God created man to benefit from a close, loving relationship with God, and Adam chose to disobey (1Tim. 2:14).
God’s desire to benefit man through a close, loving relationship would not be thwarted. Knowing before He created man that man would choose to disobey, God establishes His Plan of Salvation while only the Godhead exists. God the Son, at the absolutely correct point of time, would take on unblemished humanity through God the Holy Spirit causing conception in a virgin. The Triune Godhead then went about with creation, Adam’s disobedience, condemnation of every natural descendant of Adam, and revealing His desire to forgive sin through the death of an Innocent Substitute for the guilty parties.
God sees the perfect sacrifice for sin in our Lord Jesus Christ hanging on a Roman cross, shedding His holy blood to pay a debt of sin that He did not owe in order to regain what He had not lost. There is absolutely nothing in or about me that qualifies me for forgiveness of sin. Just like you, I was born with The Sin Nature that I received because Adam reproduced after his own kind—a sinner who reproduced more sinners, who, in turn, reproduced even more sinners. God saw no merit in me. He saw no goodness in me. He saw sinfulness and condemnation for that sin. However, something else occurred before creation. God chose to save some who are condemned. God the Holy Spirit convicted me of my sin and accomplished His work of grace in my life on 18 May 1968.
The second part of this dedication goes to my parents, Edwin and Edna Wagner, who taught me the value of “doing my best.” While “doing my best” did nothing regarding salvation, it instilled in me a desire to understand and put into practice whatever I might learn. I surrendered to the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior from sin at age 12, and that “spirit of incorporation” took on a new and greater value—now because of acquiring spiritual knowledge through reading the Bible.
The third part of this dedication goes to my bride, nicknamed “Lee,” who joined me as an equal partner in our adventure together that began in 1977. After our tenth wedding anniversary, approaching our eleventh, I was a thirty-two-year-old freshman with two children when I entered Lancaster Bible College to study for vocational ministry.
The fourth part of the dedication goes to a vast host of individuals whose names, for the most part, do not appear here in print, not because they are unimportant, but because of the volume that would be required and/or the possibility of missing one here or there. I especially desire to thank The Bible Fellowship Church of Camden DE for their role and amazing support and encouragement that the congregation has been to me.
The last part of this dedication is to you, the reader of “Prime the Pump.” I am thankful to those who helped “fill my container” along the years. I pray that this work will prime your pump into greater understanding and appreciation of God through Scripture.
Blessings on your day,
Pastor Dan Wagner
