I agree, guys. We are trying to "pretty up" the gospel. You know, decorate it real nice so that it is not so unpleasant to anyone. The only problem with that is the fact that the gospel of Jesus Christ IS unpleasant to the natural, unsaved person. Nothing can change that. However, I believe there is a more subtle problem than the worldly pleasures found in our churches. Many pastors are so infected with the "numbers" disease that they'll do just about anything to have a big (and bigger) crowd. A large number of people is fine, IF you have a passion to reach the lost. But many pastors, I'm afraid, are more interested in the image of their churches. None of these things influenced the apostle Paul. He never felt the need to dilute or pollute the gospel to make it attractive. He just went out into a hostile world, preached the pure gospel, saw multitudes saved and turned the world upside down. That's the way God works. He ALWAYS blesses and honors the Word of God. Of course, Paul suffered greatly for his actions. He was persecuted, not "popular". Oh, that we would do as much!! |

Some thoughts on this matter:The mighty Romans sat in their senate discussing what could be done about the barbarian threat. They did not know that they were sitting next to some of them. Although outnumbered, Islamic terrorists are smart--and patient. They take an indirect approach to their planning. Five years or more is worth a successful attack. Want some good models to follow? Two come to mind. PAST-the Old West. PRESENT-the Israeli army. Terrorists aren't treated well in Israel. That would be merciful compared to the Old West. Radical? Too intense? Well, I suppose we could continue down the path of make-believe (PC nonsense). Talking and reasoning with terrorists is useless. The only thing they understand and respect is force. Of course, it is my firm belief that this trouble is a direct result of America's turning from God and the Bible. |
