Daring to Declare the Gospel of Christ

WHERE IS THE FEAR OF GOD TODAY? Is this not what is wrong with us? Is not this the whole story? This present generation is so taken up with the idea of our own importance and so occupied with the dignity of man, that we no longer fear God, if we ever feared Him. We are presumptuous, self-willed, unruly and dying a slow but sure death, and on the verge of complete ruin. If there is one word that describes this generation of religious people, it is "irreverence." Sophistication will yet kill this present generation. Men go to church today to patronize God, not to worship God. The majority of church-going people, judging from their attitude, believe that in attending church, they are conferring a great honor upon God. Church attendance is an excuse for a fashion parade and a show of pride. Men go to church to be entertained and amused. They insist that the preacher be a good mixer, entertainer, actor, and pulpit clown. The preacher who dares to declare the gospe

Zeal for the Glory of God

"When Christ chased the money changers from the temple, John records, “ And His disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of Thine house hath eaten Me up ” (J OHN 2:17) . Christ’s holy anger and zeal over what was going on in the temple was born out of relationship. It was His Father’s house! He could not bare what was being done there. Likewise, all who are in spiritual relationship with the same Father in Christ, they cannot bear to sit in a godless place of false religion and listen to a man blaspheme God, deny His word and gospel, reduce Christ to a pathetic failure in His Person and work and glorify the will, works and worth of fallen sinners. If one can listen and endure such a mockery of God and His Son, there must not be a relationship with them. If we have received grace and salvation from God in Christ, our zeal for the glory of God our Father will surely keep us from participating in that which mocks Him!" - Gospel report by preacher Gar
