“The man whose little sermon is ‘repent’ sets himself against his age, and will for the time being be battered mercilessly by the age whose moral tone he challenges. There is but one end for such a man — ‘off with his head!’ You had better not try to preach repentance until you have pledged your head to heaven.” (Joseph Parker)

The church must be reminded that it is not the master or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state. It must be the guide and the critic of the state, and never its tool. If the church does not recapture its prophetic zeal, it will become an irrelevant social club without moral or spiritual authority -MLK

Are we beholding the Jesus of the Bible, or the Jesus of our insecurities and assumptions that we project onto Him as we struggle?
To behold the Jesus of the Bible is to lay hold of the secret of enjoyable prayer, extravagant love, and exhilarating faith.
The Jesus we behold determines the Christian we will be. -David Sliker

The certainty of God’s judgment actually is good news if we view it in the right perspective.
The alternative – the prospect of God forever tolerating wickedness and never bringing recompense for injustice – is far more dreadful. The intended lesson from this brief study, however, is that the gospel is good because it is true. It is a note of clarity in the midst of a chorus of lies; it is a ray of light shining in the dark landscape of this present evil age. The gospel is good because it shatters the walls of falsehood imprisoning the lost through the liberty of reality – whether that reality first manifests itself to us in the extravagance of mercy or the severity of judgment. In other words, the gospel is good because it is from God and it is about God (cf. Gal. 1:11-12). God alone ultimately defines the goodness of the news we herald – not the subjective response of the hearer, not whether it feels palatable to the audience. -Stephen Venable (full article here)
