Sugar-coat preaching? Afraid to offend men in the hopes to attract them? Think again! The reason why Christ was crucified and hated by the Pharisees and teachers of the Law was because of His boldness to stand for the TRUTH. Remember this. A Christian leader should also have this conviction. If a Christian leader is not as bold as Christ, then truly Christ is not in His heart. What good is it to have many members in the Church, but before the eyes of God, they continue doing things detestable before God? Brother, understand that although it is Gods will to gather MULTITUDE, His ultimate goal is TRANSFORMATION. But transformation requires BOLDNESS, and that means telling what is RIGHT and WRONG without compromise, that at some point may offend people or ignite rage among them. But what is it that you are afraid of? The Church is not your Church. It is for Christ. So allow Christ to do His will and not your own will. Eliminate your PRIDE! “The Church is called to stand for truth—to be faithful to Christ. It does not change its convictions to adapt to the prevailing opinions of the culture so that it does not offend men in the hopes that it can attract them. We need to deal with men in love but we also need to speak the truth. This is how we proclaim Christ to a changing generation.” – William Webster Be richly blessed ahead! :)
