Err on the side of the Gospel
2 Cor 4:1-2
What are some current disgraceful and underhanded ways in our society?
Most recently...
Hate, bigotry, prejudices, violence
Hate for others with differing view
Bigotry and prejudice against of different skin color
Violence against others, including the shooting of police officers.
2 Cor 4:
The only position a follower of Christ can take on any issue is the one that errs on the side of the Gospel.
To err on the side of caution is to be especially careful rather than taking a risk or making a mistake.
I will not speak on the issue of statues and monuments from the platform but I will speak about the gospel and how Christians must view everything through the lens of the gospel and the eyes of Jesus Christ.
We must denounce all hatred and rise up against racial bigotry and embrace all men and women for they were created in the image of God.
There will be distractions, I have struggles with this issue, not the white supremacy issue, that’s evil and comes from the pit of hell.
But I can get distracted with the issues dealing with our rights to freedom of speech.
I can get sucked in really fast, I have an opinion, believe me but its a set up from Satan.
Paul refers to the freedom we have in Christ, since we no longer are under the law.
1 Co
1 Cor 10:23
Just bc you have the freedom to do something you must ask yourself the following questions, and these apply to your walk with Jesus and they can also apply to your position as a member of the human race.
1) Is it helpful?
2) Does this act or thought dominate you?
3) Does it build up others or put them down?
I can focus on the constitutional issues and forget all about the Gospel.
Am I citizen of Heaven first?
Yes, according to the Apostle Paul in
Don’t be distracted.
Paul alludes to the struggle in following Jesus
2 Cor 4:
The apostles and teachers were sacrificing their physical bodies for the sake of the Gospel in the first generation church.
How dare we think that we can live as a second class citizen in heaven and take a luke warm approach to our faith and expect God to bless us and work on our behalf.
He must be first!
Our identity must be founded on the message of the Gospel and not the country we live in.
I love this country, I do not want to live in any where else unless He calls me to but I am first a citizen of Heaven, a follower of Jesus.
Romans 12:9-21
Although we face ridicule our spirits will be renewed daily.
The conflicts we face today are only temporary and is preparation for eternal glory.
We fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.
To those who’s message is laced with hatred, in the words of the late President Ronald Reagan.

“you are the ones who are out of step with our society, you are the ones who willfully violate the meaning of the dream of America...” Ronald Reagan
As one of the pastors of this fellowship I will always stand against hatred of any form and I hope you stand with us as we continue to spread the Gospel and the love of Christ.
