1 | Avoid a Sugar Coated Gospel | Zech 12:3 | Hank | 186114 | ||
Doc, could we say without dishonor either to the Gospel or the Prince of Preachers that the gospel IS a little like MandM's? It melts in your heart and not in your hands. I stole this idea in a sneaky, round-about way from our brothers Searcher and jthetrick. :-) But if Spurgeon was moved to use the phrase "sugared gospel" in his time, what would he call the sickening mess that abounds in so much of Christendom today? Paul's solemn charge to Timothy holds today as much as it ever did: "Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths." (2 Timothy 4:2-4, NASB). --Hank | ||||||

Here's another Spurgeon quote pertinent to today: "It is to be feared that some zealous brethren have preached the doctrine of justification by faith not only so boldly and so plainly, but also so badly and so out of all connection with other truth, that they have led men into presumptuous confidences to stand up and cry, 'believe, believe, believe, 'without explaining what is to be believed---to lay the whole stress of salvation upon faith without explaining what salvation is, and showing that it means deliverance from the power as well as from the guilt of sin -- may seem to a fervent revivalist to be the proper thing for the occasion, but those who have watched the result of such teaching have had grave cause to question whether as much hurt may not be done by it as good." Very pertinent, indeed! |
