Subject: How to "win the world" ? |
Bible Note: Larry I agree if people are getting saved, however the real question then becomes are they getting saved? Many are being filled with feel good, ego building messages that leaves little room for repentance and humility. In fact sin and the fact they are sinners in need of salvation is rarely mentioned. So if their getting saved I ask from what, the bad opinion they had of themselves when they walked in? Two Sundays ago I listened to a man preach his whole message on you don't have to change to be a Christian. I was in shock and even more so as I left hearing people commenting on how wonderful the message was. He preached in a very upbeat dynamic way, letting his fantastic personalilty be seen and by this won the people's approval not with the truth but with his delivery. People were drawn to what he said, as he painted them as being God's perfect children. However he forgot one thing they are not born that way, but become God's perfect children only if they are cleansed by nothing less than the precious blood of Christ. That point was totally absent from his message. EdB |
