PRAYER REQUEST

I'm a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers and I log onto their prayer requests every day.

I pray for everyone on the list and it has been really fulfilling. The requests range from physical illness, being close to death, suicide and, of course, being beaten up by Satan.  

This particular prayer request had me upset and I will tell you why. Here is the part of the request that I am talking about: I won't mention the whole request. But, this person, is telling the Pastor that he or she didn't like the sermon.

"I come to church to feel good. I don't need you telling me what I am doing wrong!"

Is this what sums up Christianity today? Boy, it sure seems like it to me. Being politically correct has taken religion down the wrong road. Now, sin doesn't exist anymore, hell doesn't exist anymore and so on. I believe if someone is offended by these things, so what. Jesus Christ is an offense to many anyway. Do we just shut up from now on? Are we in the "feel good" generation? We need to get back to basics:

Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. Because we are sinners, we need Him.    
I am using some of  my posts to show what is happening to Christianity today. If it might offend someone, just don't talk about it. I can feel an attack coming on, but, I will keep bringing up the need for Jesus no matter what!

I am so glad that my Pastor preaches the gospel at every service.
