I TENDERED MY RESIGNATION at Community Church of the Hills after eight years of fruitful labor. When I got there in 2015, the Elders told me that they were two weeks away from shutting their doors permanently. As I leave in 2023, the fellowship has the largest attendance ever in over a decade with record
Last time, I shared about Jerry, a man who was given a few weeks to live while he was in hospice care at a Veteran’s hospital. I shared the good news that Jesus Christ saves sinners; he believed, repented, was baptized on the spot in his room…then five days later, he went directly into the arms of his Savior. (Read about it here.)
Did I fail to mention that Jerry’s son witnessed the whole thing?
A MODEST PROPOSAL FOR RELIEVING THE BURDEN OF GUILT OF THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN DISOBEDIENT TO CHRIST’S COMMAND TO GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL.
It is a melancholy object to those who walk through this great town or travel throughout the
country, when they see in the streets, the roads, the bars, the movie complexes, stadiums and parks, all the lost for whom there is no hope, nor glimmer of smile from the weary and heavy-laden.
I think that it is agreed by all parties that Western Christianity has forsaken its sacred obligation, nay privilege, of spreading good news to all those who are perishing, those following gods of their own making, accountable to no one except their creditors and even then, slacking.
Years have passed and false Gospel presentations have been erected allowing all sinners to just ask Jesus into their hearts without fear of God or repentance of sin; the fruit of these endeavors being a false hope and negligible security for entrance into Heaven, but a most certain assurance of damnation to the lake of fire.
This being the case I shall now, therefore, humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection.
Why “GO” and preach the Gospel?
