No Compromise?

Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.

Galatians 1:10 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/gal.1.10.NLT

Paul was defending the fact that he had preached a pure gospel, not a watered-down gospel. He went so far as to say let anyone who preached a different gospel be cursed. Now, that is a tough call, but he said it.

We have a man in Australia, a prominent footballer who has preached a judgmental gospel. He may well think his gospel is pure gospel. However, God is his judge, not me. I see the effect of his preaching and he is hurting people. Yet he is telling it like it is.

What gospel should we preach? What gospel did Paul preach? What gospel did he oppose? Paul was a straight talker. He called sin, sin and grace, grace. We would need to read all his epistles to understand his gospel message. Perhaps that would be a good idea.

How effective is my gospel? How effective is yours? Do you have one? Are you ready to give an account?

Perhaps it is time for a review.
