I immediately thought of Paul’s words to Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:2-4 “Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers and they will turn their ears from the truth”. Pastors need to stand firm on the Word of God and not be swayed by people who don’t want to hear the truth. Heaven and Hell are real. Certain things we do and lifestyles being lived today, God declares as sin. The only remedy for sin is to believe and accept Jesus Christ as Savior. Society does not get to condone sin and then the church follows. God has called the church, the believers to be a light set on a hill for all to see. Let us, the church, show what it really means to love God and to love people. We can share the truth in love. The challenge is to be loving but to also be true to God’s Word.
