    Don't Teach The Gospel

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Sep 16, 2012
     | 3,076 views

    Christians aren't called to teach to the world, because the world is essentially unteachable. However, we can reach the world through our witness, the authentic living of a Christ-like life.

    Who here is a teacher? St. James tells us, “Not many of you should presume to be teachers…because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly” (Jas. 3:1). Who presumes to be one? Anyone want to be judged? Nodody? Well, I guess that, to escape any additional judgment ...read more

When he wrote to the Galatians, he was combating heresy. When he wrote ...read more
