Maybe that is why there are not a whole lot of problems between the church and worldly culture today, because we are not confronting the culture around us.

Are we willing to risk being misunderstood and maligned in order that truth might be told and men might be saved? Identifying a malady and explaining its seriousness are always the first steps to finding a cure... God has ordained that men come to conviction of sin, repentance, and saving faith through preaching. Yet how can the [Holy] Spirit use our preaching if we are not willing to expose sin or call men to repentance?

Don't touch the ark of God! It is the God of Israel who is wounding people with regards to their sin. Do NOT comfort the soul that God is breaking.

The question is not, "Do you want to go to heaven?" The question is, "Do you want God?"

The MORE you Trust in the Arm of the FLESH, the LESS you're going to see of the POWER of GOD.

You cannot learn doctrine well until you follow the doctrine you learn!

When you refuse to teach on the radical depravity of men, it is an impossibility that you bring glory to God, His Christ, and His cross, because the cross of Jesus Christ and the glory thereof is most magnified when it's placed in front of the backdrop of our depravity!
