Too Many Churches Have An Unbalanced Emphasis.

Ours is a God of love, mercy and grace. If you attend a church which preaches this and tells you to be nice to others - that is all well and good but is only partially correct.
Certain things are missing:
1) Ours is a God of justice.
2) He is a God who demands righteousness. Are you told this?
3) Hell is our destination if we do not repent and accept Jesus as our Saviour. So many churches talk of salvation in isolation but not what we are saved from. Are you told this?
4) When is the return of Christ ever preached?
5) What teaching is there on the rapture?
6) What teaching is there on the spiritual gifts?
7) When was the last time you received some 'end times' preaching?
8) Are churches demanding that you do all in your power to see souls saved? - Why not? Is it not important enough?
9) Does your church waste precious time preaching on climate change?
10) Is your church political?
11) Does your church preach a social gospel?
12) Does your church avoid uncomfortable truths and lean on teaching which is effectively based on 'universal salvation?'
13) Does your church pretend that the first eleven chapters of Genesis are just a parable?
14) What evidence is there in your church that God The Holy Spirit is present?
15) Does your church get out into the community or expect the community to come to you?
16) Does your church wholly accept the infallibility of Scripture?
17) Does your church take a Bible-based stand on tricky, social issues?
18) Is yours a thinly disguised 'salvation through good deeds' gospel message?
19) Is your message adapted to 21st century standards because 'God has not yet caught up with man's modern morality.' (And not to worry - because He will eventually. Well, won't He?)
20) If yours is a so-called 'liberal church' - leave at once and find the nearest thing you can to a real church!


So. How is your church? - Well, I trust.
Getting the things above wrong - and you may actually be part of a cult!
