I just heard an advertisement on an AM radio station.  They are suggesting we should tune in to the next episode of a teaching.  The episode is sponsored by a Presbyterian Church.

The gist of the teaching has to do with selection of a physical therapist to enhance your muscular structure.  They refer to it as a training in personal wellness.

I have not listened to the program, nor will I.  The focus of the government these days is on personal wellness.  I make it a point not to listen to them.  The focus of the godless these days is on personal wellness.  I make it a point to preach the gospel to them.

Even if the program couches this teaching in Christian thinking they are only duplicating the work of the godless.  What business is it of God’s people to duplicate the teachings of the godless? 
The Presbyterian Church wastes its money, effort and time.  While they should put all their resources into teaching the gospel, evidently they prefer to teach personal wellness of the body.

Precious little time, energy and money is in our hands to dispense.   With so many souls dying everyday and headed to destruction, what right do we have to ignore the gospel?

I know their arguments, they are not shrouded.   “I am my brother’s keeper” is the first.  This is a child of the social gospel which is so prevalent today.  In this gospel, the power of God is minimized.  While the love of man for his brother is maximized.  This teaching turns the gospel inside out.

The twin of this child is the idea that we will lure people to us by tickling their ears with what they want to hear.  The idea is, when we have their attention we can secretly slip in Christian ideas.  And why do they want to keep the gospel secret?

I give them credit for being crafty.  But I give the devil the same credit.  By cloaking some aspect of the gospel of Christ Jesus, they confess their Shame of his glory.  And they strive to avoid the confrontation the gospel will surely bring.  They have introduced their plan.  May it fail miserably.

May the Lord confront them so that they do not share in the sins of this world.  For their efforts do not bring the fullness of God’s glory in Jesus Christ to a world dark and perishing.  They have mixed in poison to the healthy food of God.  May God have mercy on them and confront them in this folly.
