Strike a nerve anyone?


I want to touch on the single most close thing to my heart. Its what causes my blood to flow and pump through every vain I have as a Christian. Its what causes me the most joy and stability, and strength I could ever experience Its what I have been saved by thanks be to God, and my Lord Jesus Christ and with the most passion I have, it must be talked about passed on and spoken of, the people of God must be trained to deliver it, live it, breath it, know it fully, and not take away from it, or water it down in any way, not remove from it or make it soft and acceptable.......................

The Gospel of Jesus Christ............ The bad news, then the good news stuff! I bet that makes most of you uncomfortable..........Do you think that there was any comfort to Christ when He hung on the cross?When He was abandoned by God as Gods wrath was on Him? When he was mocked and accused of having a demon? When those of his own did not recognize him and picked up stones to stone him?

The way I see it is this, If I was a Doctor, and you came to see me as a patient because you were sick and wanted to find out what the problem was I would do whatever is necessary to help you get down to the bottom of whatever ails you.

X-rays, blood tests, whatever it took, also, my job as a Doctor would be simple, its not only my job to find what ails you, but to also give you a cure. Now with that being said most of you can already see where I am going.

What if I found that what was wrong with you was life threatening? What if I was afraid to tell you about it because I didn't want to see you upset? I certainly would not be qualified if that was the case. But a good Doctor (as I would be) would sit down with you, I would look over the X-rays with you and with every bit of detail look you in the eyes as you cried and not hold back the seriousness of your disease.

After I saw the complete understanding that you have of the seriousness of your disease, I know for sure now, you would be willing for the cure, you would embrace the treatment you would be humble and willing to take what I am offering. Broken and ready

We need to be the same with the Gospel message, we so often want to make ourselves comfortable so we can easily tell someone that Jesus loves them............That my friends is putting the cart before the horse, Its like me the Doctor trying to convince you that I have the cure for the disease that you know nothing about.

What an insult to you and if I must say very offensive! Why? Because I would be insisting you are sick!

We are the same with the Gospel....... Don't talk like that! You are being pushy.......(I like to think I'm being pulley) Let me say this to you stop mocking the Cross!!! The death of Christ was so awful and you go and minimize it by your self centered ideas to comfort yourself, the whole while people are going to hell.............. or do you believe that? If you truly believe that, wouldn't you do what is necessary and right to let those who are on that path to know? I think you are sleeping.......in some sort of stupor, a dreamer, possibly not even saved! Did I strike a nerve? Good then there's hope.....................stay tuned for the hows of reaching the lost!!!
