A preacher is a man who proclaims the irrefutable gospel of Christ (Romans 10:13-21; 1 Corinthians 1:17-31; 1 Cor. 2:1-5; 1 Cor. 3:1-10). And with so many lost souls in the world, a preacher has no time to be using the pulpit to talk about the campaigns of persons running for public office (2 Timothy 2:1-4; Luke 9:60).
And neither should a church open its pulpit for politicians to come and seek votes, because the church is the pillar and ground of the truth and not a place for men to come and talk about Democrats and Republicans (1 Tim. 3:15). So a sound preacher realizes he has the commission to preach the gospel and woe be upon him if he doesn’t (1 Cor. 9:14-18; Acts 20:19-21:27; Ezekiel 3:16-19). In church, you must demand that the preacher proclaim the word of God only, giving book, chapter and verse for his teaching (Titus 2:1; 1 Peter 4:11). You must also demand that the preacher use the word of God in the correct way (2 Cor. 4:1-6). If the preacher goes off on some kind of rambling speech about politics, or someone who is running for public office, demand that he get back to preaching the gospel or be fired (1 Tim. 6:3-5; Romans 16:17; 1 Tim. 1: 3-4). Hope to hear from you or see you at the services. Recently, it was said that a large percentage of Americans are changing from the religion of their childhood. Well, that can be a good thing or it can be a bad thing. For example, the Bible teaches that Jesus built one church and the Bible warns of the existence of false doctrine (2 Peter 2:1-2; Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 1:22-23; Eph. 4:4).
Now consider this; if a person is a member of a church that the Lord didn’t establish, that person is in false teaching (Mark 7:7; Matt. 15:13-14; 2 John 7-11). And in order to be saved, one must leave error behind, and that is a good thing. But on the other hand, if that same person is a member of a church where the truth is taught, and he leaves that church after falling victim to false teaching, that is a bad thing (2 Peter 3:14-18; Colossians 2:8). Since it is possible to be wrong and also possible to be right; one shouldn’t leave a church unless that church is proven by the word of God to be in error. Hope to hear from you or see you at the services. The Vatican has announced what they call the creation of several new sins. People, we need to read the Bible! All those things of which the Vatican speaks, has already been given to us in the Bible (2 Peter 1:3).
The commands not to break the law, harm the innocent, or engage in actions which are destructive to human existence, have been plainly taught by Jesus on many occasions. For example, when we are taught to love our neighbor, to do good until all men, and to set a good example before our fellow man, we sum up everything that the Vatican claims to be revealing to us (Romans 13:9-14; 12:17-18; 1 Thessalonians 5:14-15). Once more I warn you to stay away from men and stay with the word of God (Rom. 16:17; 1 Timothy 4:16; 2 Tim. 3:14-17; Matthew 24:35). Hope to hear from you or see you at the services. |
