We all have heard of someone making a comment that a person is hearing voices of course meaning they are mentally deranged. It is one thing to know the truth, and another thing to speak the truth, but it is quite another to believe in it and live it. Today many people in the Christian community just voice an opinion. Some voice platitudes of thought. Some voices say that we are to accept a watered down version of love. A love that has limitations. They tell us of a love in which biblical truth must bend because of the times.
According to this gospel, no personal changes are necessary when one decides to follow Jesus. No repentance, no forgiveness, no commitment, no legitimate changes are needed for we don’t want to keep them from our church rolls. We want to be acceptable by all.
Let us not be the obstacle to a person buying Gods whole game plan for their life. There is a voice in the midst of these voices that says what is free has a cost and what has a cost frees you – the “shame of the cross.” So what, that the Christ centered gospel sounds rather strange or something from one who is deranged, it certainly is out of the norm as far as the present day political/religious philosophy is propagated. To me this does sound rather strange as I listen to what is coming from the celebs of our time. Yet I am to buy into this, which is not logical. I don’t think so, not on my watch.
