Enough is Enough!

I listened to a clip of a preacher who spent several precious minutes of several souls’ lives preaching “personal” convictions rather than biblical ones. Therefore, I’m about to offend some people, but enough is enough. So here’s my top ten responses to the preachers that use the pulpit to push their own agenda:

1. I don’t care who you voted for unless the name “Jesus the Christ” is on the ballot.

2. One political party is just as ungodly as the other. The lessor of two evils is still evil. Jesus never told the disciples how to vote, so I’m not going to either.

3. Second Chronicles 7:14 is NOT about the USA.

4. God doesn’t care if I wear a suit and tie or shorts and a T-shirt. He’s just glad I’m there. And if I miss a Sunday or two, He’s not mad. I’ve hurt myself more than anything.

5. The King James Version is not the only Bible, nor is it the most accurate translation. Jesus spoke Aramaic, not ye olde English. The New Testament writers used koine Greek.

6. Prayer is not prohibited in schools. Look it up. Students may pray at school.

7. Jesus was called a “glutton and drunkard” (KJB) because he ate and drank with the the common folk. Yes, it was real wine and He drank it. Yes, excessive use is sin, but so is excessive fried and sweet tea.

8. Jesus fulfilled the law. Use the Old Testament to point to Jesus -nothing more. You can’t get to Heaven by trying to follow rules.

9. Please STOP telling people they can get to Heaven by repeating a little prayer. Jesus said “Repent and believe the gospel.”

10. Preach Christ and Him crucified. Nothing more, nothing less. CONTEXT. CONTEXT. CONTEXT.

Oh, by the way, the recording that I listened to was a well-meaning, but unlearned and inexperienced young preacher by the name of Chad Frizzell in 2001. Thank God for His forgiveness and mercy! He changes lives. Even those on a spiritual high-horse!
