What is worse is those who call themselves Christian yet have no grain of truth in them. It seems that theologians can get away with gross untruths. There is teaching denying hell, the rapture, the second coming, and the resurrection. There are false teachers preaching soul sleep, temporary reincarnation, ethereal heavens, that humans become angels, and other such fancies. How can there be Christians out there who still believe in purgatory and absolution by a priest other than Jesus Christ? How can anyone think they can get to heaven on their good works and kind words? We need the teaching of the agony, blood, and anguish of Jesus on the cross. We must focus on how much of a price God had to pay for our sins. The real question is whatever happen to the word SIN? I hear “Christians” claiming that abortion, homosexuality, fornication, and pornography are okay. What is up with that? STOP the SIN!!!
“Old-fashioned, Spirit-filled, Christ-honoring, sin-hating, soul-winning, Bible preaching! It is the hope of the church! It is the hope of the nation! It is the hope of the world!” -Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001)
