Saying “I need Jesus but not the church” is to say “I need Jesus but not everything Jesus says I need.”

"Ten thousand thousand are their texts, but their sermons are all one," as some wise chap (allegedly Spurgeon) once quipped.

This happens nowadays when the "gospel-centered" preacher's eagerness to preach Christ—which is right (John 5:39; Col. 1:28)—is combined with his rejection of moralism (which is also good) without attention to the particular details of the passage itself.

The result is that every sermon becomes the same, saying very little besides "You're a sinner, and Christ is your Savior." That's true, and vitally important, but the Bible says a lot more than this. (Indeed, if that were all that God had wanted to say, he could have done so a lot more concisely. Yet, as James Jordan once said, "The Holy Spirit never wastes his breath." And that means the details matter.)

On top of making every sermon virtually identical, two other unhappy effects are produced:

1. Biblical imperatives are rarely, if ever, preached. And if/when they are, the commands are used almost exclusively to cite our inability to obey the Lord and the necessity of Christ's death. Again, this is true, but it completely obscures the other (two) uses of moral laws in God's world.

2. Biblical figures are never used as examples. This is an effect of the "You're not David!" emphasis of the last generation. This sounds good to those who imagine that moralism is the only way to miss Christ, but it's a significant departure from the Bible's own teaching. Christians are repeatedly called to consider both positive (Luke 10:37; Rom. 15:4; Heb. 11; ) and negative examples (1 Cor. 10:6–11; Heb. 12:16; 1 John 3:12), imitating the one and rejecting the other.

The way forward is to preach ten thousand thousand texts with one saving Lord (i.e., the whole Christ) as the central focus without diminishing the ten thousand thousand implications of his fullness.

Size, consciousness, self-awareness, and capacity for pain are completely arbitrary markers of personhood and would justify killing large numbers of people in addition to unborn children.

@Logos @albertmohler I was looking to buy one recently. If I don’t win, will you at least tell me how to purchase one? 😎

HEARTBREAKING: Her 10-month-old baby was cut in half with a knife in front of her, her husband shot dead, and she watched them split her second child's skull with a machete. They also amputated one of her hands.

This is life for Christians in Nigeria. The media remains silent.
