THIS IS EXTREMELY POWERFUL, EVERYONE! PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS SHORT ARTICLE!
Sadly, so many churches tell people what they WANT to hear instead of what they SHOULD here. In so many churches the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Israel's Messiah by the way) has been so watered down that it is virtually unrecognizable by what is actually written in the Bible! So many churches provide little more than "people-pleasing, lukewarm fluff" from their pulpits! The pastors say, "Don't offend anyone, don't talk about anything 'controversial' from the pulpit, don't ever tell the people that Jesus is the ONLY way to eternal life (that might get someone angry!)" So when the Gospel is so watered down, this is what happens in the article below! How many times when Jesus spoke His Word did people entreat Him to leave their region? How many times did they chase Him off, or want to kill Him?! The true Gospel of Jesus Christ IS offensive, for it convicts our sin (people don't want that!), but it leads to repentance and ultimately righteousness! If a pastor is truly doing as Jesus did, many are not going to like it! But that is what pastors SHOULD be doing! Jesus says he will spit the "lukewarm" out of His mouth (Rev. 3:16)! Many pastors (yes, pastors!) will be left here after the Rapture!
