The Full Gospel

A man who considers himself a Christian, once told me, “You won’t save a single soul by the things you write.”  I don’t mean to offend anyone, but why should I care what he thinks?

If we listen to such advice we will not speak at all.  And if we error by speaking too harsh a message, have we done the Lord a disfavor?  And when men stand before the living God, to give account of themselves, will we have delivered what could have save their soul?  Or we will we stand in contempt of His Holy Blood by telling them only, “God loves you”?

The Bible does not tell us that the love of God is the beginning of wisdom.  In fact it says, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.  If men will not fear God what is that to me?  We are to proclaim the full gospel.

There are plenty of so called preachers who will tell people only that God loves them.  The world is rich with those who will preach honey.  So by His grace, I determined a long time ago to speak the other side of the coin.  I don’t expect praise from those who preach otherwise.

By His Grace

Do Not Fear Fear

English: Fear God... Religious text on a metal...

My days have no divider.

Yesterday, today, tomorrow all meld into one.

Pining for what was pleasant is the consuming desire of each moment.

Hope remains, but it is obscured by daily tasks.

Sleep is deep and sweet.

But the day evaporates into obscurity.

Does this indicate that His promise has been breached?

Has my sin caught His Holy eye so that His lovely eyes no longer look upon me?

Did not those who “would never enter His rest” live out the rest of days before His promise came through death?

We are but to believe and be saved.

Yet it is He who provokes that saving belief.

What shall be said when a man finds troubles yet sleeps soundly as one forgiven?

Guilt is not present.

Though fear of repeat is like a cloud of rain on a cold day while I stand naked in the open field.

What was said?

Can you recall?

“But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the
body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.”  (Luke 12:5)

I do not fear the present turmoil deep within my soul.

It is the slighting of Jesus’ Royalty that captures my attention.

And isn’t this as it should be?
