Excellent read!


Biblical truths are tough, yet The Gospel must be taken as a whole, not just the parts that make you 'feel' good. That's the biggest mistake a lot of pastors make. They are afraid, or so it seems, of offending anyone, or making them feel bad. I have news for you. If, after hearing The Gospel, the "Good News", you DON'T feel guilt or discomfort, something is wrong. God is more than just love. He is wrath, justice, peace and more. Half measures make for full failures. In other words, only giving a smidgen of the Message sets up the hearer for failure. It makes for shallow roots. Only by giving the FULL message of the Gospel, can one hope to be saved, and make it stick. Contrary to many of the charlatans and false prophets out there, Jesus did NOT promise ease in this world for following Him. He promised trials, troubles, and danger. Our reward is not in this life but in the next.
