I heard this tremendous needful sermon today by Pastor Steven Anderson titled, “Fools For Christ's Sake.” Here is the video of the sermon on Rumble. I hope you will listen to it. Ecclesiastes 12:9, “And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.” God has given us pastors and preachers to teach us. Jeremiah 3:15, “And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.”
Tragically, in these modern times more than ever pastors have had a wicked tendency to become corrupt, brutish (lacking good sense) and stupid. Unfortunately, most pastors are not preachers. Churches are born, they live, they decay and they die, just like human beings do. Preaching is the heart of a church. Without Bible preaching a church is merely a social club. Most Baptist churches today function as social clubs, fun centers and retirement communities; not obeying The Great Commission to go out into the highways and hedges to preach the Gospel to lost sinners. Sadly, ninety-nine percent of churches today are lukewarm or dead, and many others are religious cults that preach a counterfeit plan of salvation.
We all need Bible preaching every day to help us think and live right. I heard this sermon today and felt compelled to share it with everyone. Pastor Anderson preaches the truth that divorce is a sin, and there are no biblical grounds for divorce. We live in an ungodly culture today that praises ungodly women who divorce their husbands, but the Bible calls it wickedness (Jeremiah 3:20). Even if you are married to a bad wife or husband, God commands you to tough it out and stay married to that person, no matter what.
Going to church is worthless if there is no Bible preaching. Peaching is truth set on fire.
