The world does not hate its own. It does hate our Lord. It hates His followers. Where do you belong in this lineup?

Paul was not ignorant of Satan's devices, but we are not so wise. Among his most successful devices today are these: exalting tolerance above truth; emphasizing the head more than the heart; making size more important than sort; stressing the positive to the neglect of the negative; putting happiness above holiness; majoring on this world instead of the next.

We have suffered from the preaching of cheap grace. Grace is free, but it is not cheap. People will take anything that is free, but they are not interested in discipleship. They will take Christ as Savior but not as Lord.

We are suffering from a believism that never has believed, and a receivism that never has received, and it leads to deceivism.

You can't preach it like it is if you don't believe it like it was.
