By Joshua AdamsOne of the greatest lies being preached today is that love requires agreement.Jesus never taught that.He loved sinners enough to tell them the truth.He healed them.He forgave them.He ate with them.Then He called them to repent, deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him.Our generation has redefined love until it no longer resembles the words of Christ.We celebrate whatever makes people comfortable.Jesus warned about the broad road.We applaud compromise.Jesus called people to the narrow gate.We preach acceptance without repentance.Jesus preached forgiveness that transforms lives.There is a difference between loving people and affirming everything they do.If your version of Christianity never confronts sin, never calls people to repentance, and never makes anyone uncomfortable, ask yourself a hard question.Are you following the Jesus of Scripture...Or the version our culture finds acceptable?Matthew 7 is not an invitation to follow the crowd.It is a warning that the crowd can be sincerely convinced they are right while walking toward destruction.Which do you think churches struggle with more today...Speaking the truth without love...Or preaching love while refusing to speak the truth?#Matthew7 #BiblicalTruth #NarrowGate #ChristianContent — in Palestine, TX.
