AMPLIFIED 2015 | Isaiah 8:14 "Then He shall be a sanctuary [a sacred, indestructible shelter for those who fear and trust Him]; But to both the houses of Israel [both the northern and southern kingdoms--Israel and Judah, He will be] a stone on which to stumble and a rock on which to trip, A trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Subject: Let's Preach Christ Rightly in 2008 |
Bible Note: "If we are to preach Christ crucified, we must also preach a Christ that opponents would see as worthy of crucifixion. It is a dangerous thing to speak and teach an unfelt cross. If Christ is to be rejected in our day, let it be for those things He was rejected for in His day, and not because we're trying to pacify an already hyper-sensitive, politically-correct culture which cries for truth but openly rejects it. "Are we to spend our days on this earth passively trying to avoid sin rather than attempting great and glorious things for the One who is in the process of redeeming all things for His glory? Let's not sit passively and live cautious, careful, nice lives. Let's not speak of Christ as if we're in a library or sipping tea in a parlor with well dressed grandmothers who desire to speak of pleasant things that go well with their decaffeinated citrus blends. If we play it safe, we may find that we have spent the best years of our life doing absolutely nothing of merit as we wait for our light to turn green so that we can escape this frightening world. Sure, you might be thought of as a 'nice' guy, but don't assume this has anything to do with being conformed into the image of Christ." --David Fairchild |
