Why Is The Gospel Of Christ Offensive?

As this nation blatantly waves their finger in the face of God and disobeys His Word and rejects the Person and Work of Jesus Christ we should not be surprised by the tragedies that will come. I certainly want and pray for revival in America, but people who serve the devil want this country to fall and if we as Christians do not use our prayer and our voices, then we will fall with it. People openly mock Jesus, make fun of Jesus and pervert who He is. Galatians 6:7: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. Proverbs 14:9: “Fools mock at sin…”

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is offensive to people because it tells them that they are sinners and that they will die and go to hell if they do not repent. We as the hands and feet (and mouthpieces) for Christ have to do this in the most kind, sincere and gentle way in love, cutting them to the bone and pierce their heart so that they can see what they truly are. Recall if you can what you saw and how you felt when you were pierced for the first time and realized that you were a lost sinner. That you were going to die and perish because you had sinned against God.

Do not be afraid. Plant your seeds every time you get the opportunity. Time is short! The Rapture can happen at any moment and we are to be working diligently to proclaim Christ to the world, to be ready when He appears, to have our lamps trimmed and full of oil so that we go with Him to the marriage of the Lamb. We have to work hard for Jesus to give invitations to as many as we can while we are still here so they can go with us! We need our eyes to look to the clouds for Christ while our mouths proclaim Him here on earth – everyday!

Preach to them the Gospel because you might be someone’s last line of defense. Preach the Gospel with no remorse or sympathy toward being tolerant. You can do all of this in love! Do you not know that we serve an intolerant God who did everything to save us and love us by sacrificing His Son on the cross, but will stop at nothing to cast us to the depths of Hell if we do not turn from the sin that God could never dwell with? A Holy God whose perfectness and pure goodness and love would destroy any sinful being within His presence because His excellence cannot be in the midst of imperfection. Our God who has told us time after time that sin will plague us for eternity and that Jesus Christ is the only redemption to remove the curse of iniquity from us?

Stand up for Christ! Where are the true men and women of God in America?

We are called to turn the world upside down but we have replaced God fearing men and women in this country with soft, tolerant, bible ignorant, politically correct, lukewarm Christians and false converts; these are the representatives of Christ in America today. How sad and discouraging is that? That the true Christians have shied away and hid in a broom closet because of fear of confrontation or rejection or persecution to certain degrees. Unbelievably, their fear of men is greater than their fear of God. Unbelievable. Have they quickly forgotten the Gospel and what the fear of God entails and what the fear of God can do?
