Reformed Thoughts and Gary’s Desk

Coach Dave Daubenmire, I like his style, and boy has he ever hit the nail on the head. The pulpit of the church is not for WIMPS. Pastors must tell the truth no matter what the consequences may be. Sin is sin, period, no matter who is committing it. We can not soft sell the gospel of Jesus Christ. Christ didn’t. Read Matthew 23:27 and Matthew 10:34. Christ wasn’t some hippie preaching man centered love all the time. He was a real man, our example of boldness and courage. We have the truth and the Holy Spirit of God, why would we ever fear the counterfeit power of man?

Please, after you have read this article by Coach Dave read the one that inspired this article, “Sheep Without Shepherds.” http://www.newswithviews.com/Daubenmire/dave115.htm. Brother preachers we must be willing to accept the blame for the debauchery our country is in, repent, and then stand in the pulpit and the streets and call our beloved congregations to bring EVERY area of their lives into submission to Almighty God. Then and only then can we expect God to do mighty things in America.

I agree with Charles Finney: “If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the public press lacks moral discernment, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the world loses its interest in Christianity, the pulpit is responsible for it. If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. If our politics become so corrupt that the very foundations of our government are ready to fall away, the pulpit is responsible for it.” Read on.
