01/08/25 THE MESSAGE DOESN'T CHANGE
If you want to know the truth, you must look past the messenger and the method of presenting the message.
The messenger is important. God gives qualifications required for the messenger.
The method is important. Though methods change, they should never be carnal, sinful, degrading to the message.
The MESSAGE is the most important issue. Though there is nothing inherently wrong with the following list, don't let physical appearance, stately architecture, demonstrative or heady or charismatic preaching, musical talent, large numbers, big programs, winsome personalities catch your attention. Focus on the actual message. Study the word of God. Allow God to open your eyes and transform your life.
Shallowness comes at various levels and in various forms. If what you are hearing is not saving you from sin, it is not the gospel. Sound doctrine will produce Christ-like living. Biblical truth leads to being conformed to the image of Jesus. Saving truth purifies the heart and the life. Remember, either God separates you from sin or sin separates you from God. This is the message of the Bible from beginning to end.
