I could have bought some herbs.
I heard about how successful I could be.
I listened for five minutes to one “lady” who could not decide what verses she wanted to expound upon. Then upon choosing the verse [John 1:11] totally missed the point of the verse.
I learned how exercise can help me get more in tune with my spiritual side.
I had the opportunity to buy the tape, CD, DVD either individually or the whole series.
I was told by a large man in a large pulpit, “you have got to get your arms around this…”
I was impressed by packed auditoriums.
I was saddened by what was missing from every single one of the preachers.

There was no Jesus.
No cross.
No redemption.
No blood.
No sacrifice.
No one talked about sin, so there was no need for forgiveness.
None spoke of grace, atonement, mercy, or faith.

There was no Jesus.

In a world desperate for truth, brothers, preach Christ Jesus crucified, risen, and coming again.
Among a nation of pretenders, be the bearers of the Cross. It is the only hope.

pax,
