Art wrote:There is only one call, Steel. And that is to go into all the world and preach the gospel. For some, it is on a large scale, as with an evangelist. With others, it is sharing Christ with our neighbors over the fence or at the workplace. Whichever way, it is Christ and the cross we are to be ambassadors for. We are never called to entangle ourselves with the political corruption, else Christ or the apostles would have admonished us to do so. We cannot change the world thru political rants, etc but we can see a soul come to know Christ through our faithful witness of the crosswork of Christ. Just as J. Vernon Mcgee once said, " One convert to Christ at a time will do more good than all the political rants and rallies that have ever taken place".And yes, we are to stand against false teachings but it does not replace the need of the gospel.We are first proclaimers of the cross, then we are apologists. If we reverse this process, we can fall into the heresy hunter deception and miss what Paul and the apostles had in mind- to wit, the persons soul.If attacking political and RCC evils is not balanced with the gospel, how can any one trapped by these evils ever be set free? The gospel IS the missing element on most message boards and constant attacking of a problem without giving the solution is just a waste of time and the waste of a poor soul who is desparately in need of salvation.
