Paul said, " 'I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men. For I have not shunned (avoided) to declare to you the whole counsel of God.' "
Acts 20:26-27
It seems that a lot of preachers I hear today do not declare "the whole counsel of God." Their messages concentrate on social issues, positive confession, successful living, and even God's love and grace. But they avoid such topics as sin and repentance, judgment and hell, and holy living according to God's word. These sermons are not popular and do not draw a crowd, so the preachers and teachers avoid them. If sin, righteousness, and judgment are the messages of the Holy Spirit (John 16:8), shouldn't they be the main message of the preacher? I fear that ministers will be held accountable for the blood of the people they misled when they stand before Jesus.
Today's Thought: The main message of the Gospel preacher should be the "whole counsel of God" which includes sin and salvation,
heaven and hell, and holy living.
Have a "whole counsel" day. Love you.
