The Danger of Hindering the Gospel

January 22, 2022

The Jewish nation paid a price for hindering the gospel in their day. Our nation if it continues to seek to repress Christians and Christianity will certainly pay a price. Yet our prayer is that such repression will stop and that the gospel will flourish in this land as it has in the past.

America is full of sin from the highest to the lowest. Only the powerful preaching of the Word of God will bring repentance to our land. It will be only when America fears God again that we will see a great change. When that happens, God's glory will be revealed in our land as the Psalmist says in Psalm 85:9 - "Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land." Will we ever see His glory in our land again as it was in the days of the First Great Awakening and the Second Great Awakeing in the 18th and 19th centuries? Only time will tell but we can pray that it will happen again.

So many Christians today give lip service to the Bible and yet do not live out its precepts and don't even know what its precepts are. We need to get back to the Bible in a serious way if we are to live lives worthy of the kingdom we have been called into. Today, we need a national repentance to take place beginning with Christians who hold to the name of Christ but do not live up to that name. Repentance needs to begin with the house of God in this nation and then spread outward to everyone else in this nation.

Today, we can learn from the apostles what sacrificial service is. We can learn to identify with a people that we might reach them with the gospel. From their example, we can see the emptiness of the health and wealth gospel and how it makes selfish and materialistic Christians.

While the health and wealth preachers of today lord it over their flocks with prosperity messages and pressure to give to get, the apostles put on the role of servants and reached out to the people with love and compssion. We need the compassion of Christ and the love of Christ for people.

Today, we need integrity in ministry. The church is weak because much of what it does lacks integrity. Preachers accepting large salaries and making few sacrifices doesn't help. The prosperity preachers proclaim a gospel that is far different than the message Jesus and the apostles preached. All of these things weaken the church. If there is to be a true revival, it needs to come to the church first and this is what we need to pray for.

God has entrusted the gospel to us. We must preach it at all costs. We must boldly preach it. We must preach it with much conviction and power. We must pray for that power to come upon us that men may hear the Word and believe it in mass numbers. That's what happens when revival comes.

Paul could have given up because he faced much difficulty in Philippi. Yet he pressed on to the next place and there took a bold stand for the gospel and found success. God will bless His Word and bless us if we are obedient to His command. We must press on with the gospel in spite of opposition.

There is a coming wrath and there is only one way of escape which is revealed in the gospel and that is through Jesus Christ, the only Savior. We must flee to Him for refuge before it is too late.

True repentance involves leaving our idols behind and following the Lord in our lives. Are we ready to give up our idols in this land? Are we ready to forsake them in order to follow the Lord? Are we going to continue to follow our idols and face the wrath of God for it or will we turn from them back to the God of our forefathers and be blessed? What do we want? God's wrath or God's blessings on this nation?

Today, power point presentations and friendly talks have replaced the powerful preaching of the Word of God in many evangelical churches. The great pulpits of the past have been set aside to make room for the worship team. Yet, have we not lost something vital in doing that? We need to return to the primacy of the word of God being proclaimed from our pulpits with power and great conviction.
