Hmmm, just another thought, before drifting off to sleep ( Psalm 4:8 ) Today many churches will preach Jesus. But they won’t preach the Cross. They won’t tell people that they are sinners and must repent. They won’t tell them that there is only one way to salvation, through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Instead, we celebrate Jesus as a blessing machine. We preach a Jesus which accommodates us – one who is nothing more than a get out of jail free card. Or Jesus is someone who we use as a license to do as we please. But where is the gospel in all of that? I’ve got news: God is going to hold every one of us personally responsible for the gospel we preach. We are going to answer to Him for whether we preach the Truth of Jesus Christ or whether we water it down to get members and money. Our accountability to God for this is absolute. In fact, the Bible says that if you are a teacher or preacher, you will come under the greater judgment. Jesus said that anyone who causes a little one to stumble is in for some bad consequences. This is not a game. It is a eternally serious matter. We are dealing with the eternal lives of people, and the glory of God Himself.
