AMEN!
Pastor, this sermon has gotten me through some hard times this season as I rebuke the sinners around me who would infect the Body of Christ with liberal gobbledygook. This whole "God loves everybody" jazz really gets my goat! I cannot tolerate this slander against the LORD, and I cannot show my children the coward's way of smiling and walking away.
A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.
John Calvin
I am more than a dog, I am the Daughter of the King of Kings (1 Timothy 6:15; 2 Corinthians 6:18), and as such I refuse to let my Father's image be tarnished by this hippy-dippy love-fest nonsense people insist on attributing to Him.
Anyway, I came across a passage in Scripture and wonder if it also applies:
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
Proverbs 1:28-30
Pastor, am I correct in understanding this to say there is no Salvation for those who opt to think for themselves rather than obey as instructed?
