"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Matthew 7:12
Or as it says in the Old Testament, "For the day of the LORD draws near on all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you. Your dealings will return on your own head." Obadiah 15
Many in our modern world seem to assume that God has gone on an extended vacation and this allows them to act in any way that they please. Well, contrary to what many soft preachers today are saying, God will still have the last word at the Great White Judgment Seat. You see, God is extremely patient in allowing mankind to make his own choices but there is coming a pay day when man's life will end and then comes the accounting that he thought he was avoiding. Every person who thumbs their nose in the face of God's offer of forgiveness will stand before this judgment seat and since his or her name will not be found in the Book of Life, they will be cast into the Lake of Fire/Hell. Hell, now there's a word you rarely hear today, especially from America's pulpits. You see, the soft preachers don't want to offend people with the truth about the consequences of their choices. This is equal to a doctor, after an examination that determined that the patient has stage three cancer, telling the patient to take two Twinkies daily and everything will be ok. This is medical malpractice in the highest order. So it is with soft preachers today. They are committing spiritual malpractice by avoiding the consequences of sin. They fear that they won't have the big church and lose their popularity.
Do you remember a man named John the Baptist (Baptizer or Immerser more accurately)? He said of Jesus when the people left John and followed Jesus, "He must increase, I must decrease." John 3:30
Preachers need to remember that the sheep do not belong to them but to Jesus, the Good Shepherd. Far too many preachers are fleecing the sheep today rather than leading and feeding the sheep of their Master. You see, the church of Jesus Christ desperately needs a revival that will restore the Bible as our plan book, not what some guru teaches at a conference. May God have mercy on us all.
