A Growing Omission In Modern Day Preaching

(Not Presenting The Gospel Plan Of Salvation) 

Robert R. Taylor, Jr. 

Why are more and more of our preachers omitting the inclusion of the plainly stated stipulations of the Gospel plan of salvation in EVERY sermon they preach? I would not dare do this. I am now in my 63rd year as a preacher and each time I have given the invitation, I have told people what to do to be saved. I emphasize hearing, faith, repentance, confession and baptism (Rom. 10:17; John 8:21,24; Acts 17:30; Rom. 10:9-10; Acts 2:38 or Mark 16:16). I also make a point to tell any erring member of the church who needs to be restored what God’s plan of salvation states (Acts 8:22; James 5:16; 1 John 1:9). I have done this consistently from 1949 to 2012 and plan no change in this. I feel strongly that we are not ready to sing the invitation song until the above has been done. Should this not be the sentiment of EVERY Gospel preacher?

Trump’s Christians

Glen Head

I saw a meme on Facebook not long ago that accused Christians who support Trump politically of “selling their souls.” There was a long list of immoral things that Trump not only did in his past but continues to this day. Granted those who entertain this thought overlook the immorality of those whom they align themselves with, yet that doesn’t matter. They just want to point out the “hypocrisy” of the Christians and accuse them of not being like Jesus.

Let’s look at just one man in the Bible in a little bit of depth and see why God favors those who live moral lives even while under heathen authority. When I say moral in this writing I mean godly, spiritual, pleasing to God. Daniel gave glory and adherence to God’s law, not the immorality of the kings he served. Daniel served God first and foremost!
