THE B.I.B.L.E.

Title: The B.I.B.L.E.
Author: Jerry Watts
Text: Hebrews 4:12
Since March 25, I have become keenly aware that I am passing off the scene. Now before anyone gets upset or REALLY EXCITED, I have no plans to resign, retire, or expire, the candid truth is this: I'm on borrowed time. Psalm 90:10. Morbid? No! I know my time and influence are limited, so no one gets too excited, I'm going NOWHERE quickly or without kicking and screaming. But I am aware of my stage. This leads me to a sense of responsibility, the weight of which I have not known before.
With all of this said, I am going to be blunt with you today. "Our world is disintegrating." This week, I used the southern expression in staff meeting, "Our world is going to hell." When I was a kid, I'd hear preacher say this and it was almost like they enjoyed saying it. I don't say this from the wrong perspective, it is with a broken heart and sadness.
Here's the follow up, "We, as the church (the holders of the sacred chalice of truth) are doing little in the marketplace to remedy it." Did you watch TV this week?
There was more effort given in stopping traffic and protecting a gang of murderers than the church did in stopping our culture from running into a place of eternal punishment.
Stop!! This is not a political message because I don't care what your politics are. What I care about is where your heart is in regards touching and reaching people with the TRUTH of GOD'S WORD. This has to do with changing the culture - starting here.
(How about a little audience participation?) We say we believe the Bible, DO WE?
A BIBLE QUIZ. What is the 'Great Commandment?' What is the NEW COMMANDMENT? What are the last words of Jesus to His followers before He ascended? Who is responsible to tell? To whom do we go? Which one of Christ's followers are excluded from this command? ---- S0, What's going on? Why is this culture disintegrating like it is?
