If I Had My Way


Read this excellent word from the Way of the Master Minute

If I Had My Way

Bible teacher, Paris Reidhead, said, "If I had my way, I would declare a moratorium on public preaching of 'the plan of salvation' in America for one to two years.

Then I would call on everyone who has use of the airwaves and the pulpits to preach the holiness of God, the righteousness of God, and the Law of God until sinners would cry out, 'What must we do to be saved?'

Then I would take them off in a corner and whisper the Gospel to them. Such drastic action is needed because we have Gospel-hardened a generation of sinners by telling them how to be saved before they have any understanding why they need to be saved."

What wise words from a man who understood the principles of biblical evangelism. May God give us the same wisdom. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.

Acts 20:26-27

Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all of you, for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

Yes, this is a courageous plea! Oh that we might seek to know and understand the full counsel of our Lord.

Hi Luvvom, I cannot get this out of my mind: Jesus' first sermon in Matthew was this: Repent. For the Kingdom of God is at hand.

I cannot remember when I last heard from the PULPIT in front of me a serious 'repent' sermon. Or anything about the Wrath of God.

It is like all these Christians are on a big cruise ship headed for the lake of fire and do not know it. (I know that sounds presumptuous but I cannot help it. I was ON that cruise ship)
