The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.

Birth and early upbringingSamuel Logan Brangle was born on June 1st, 1860, in Indiana, and was raised by his Godly mother after his father died from Civil War wounds.

Finding peace and assuranceAfter struggling for peace through multiple meetings, Samuel received assurance of his salvation simply by confessing his faith with his mouth to his mother.

College years and yielding to the callWhile studying as a brilliant scholar at DePauw University, Samuel wrestled with ambition until a successful public speech led him to surrender to God's call to preach the gospel.

Struggling at seminaryEnrolling at Boston Theological Seminary brought eight years of inner warfare between good and evil until Dr. Daniel Steel and the Holy Spirit revealed Christ to him.

Seeking God's power and breaking selfRecognizing his subtle worldly ambition, Brangle was completely broken before God until he exercised faith in the cleansing promise of 1 John.

A heaven of love poured outBrangle received an overwhelming revelation of God's love that melted his soul, filled him with compassion for all creatures, and anchored his faith.

Offering himself to General William BoothRejecting a flattering Methodist pastorate, Brangle traveled to England to join the Salvation Army, where General Booth tested him by assigning him to polish cadets' boots.

The Boston appointment and the brick incidentAssigned to a difficult core in Boston, Brangle was struck on the head by a brick thrown by a drunkard, leading to a long period of bedridden writing that produced helps to holiness.

Maintaining the blessing through disciplines and the willBrangle emphasized that preserving sanctification requires active daily obedience, prayer, scripture reading, and keeping the will fixed on following Christ despite changing emotions.

Light and love keeping in stepBrangle stressed the importance of praying that light and love stay in step, as light without love leads to pride, and love without light leads to fanaticism.

Authentic Christianity without artificialityHe urged young believers to avoid being standardized or crippled by a fear of emotion, letting the true power of the Holy Spirit make them natural and enthusiastic.

Retirement and conclusion of earthly serviceAfter decades of traveling, preaching, and promoting holiness, Samuel Logan Brangle retired and was called home to God in May 1936 at the age of 75.
