Lobster And Ravioli Salad

Your pastors will be consistently “afflicted,” as 2 Corinthians 4:8 declares. Their personal life will be scrutinized. Their labor will be relentless. Their family will be tested. Their freedoms in Christ will be limited. Their decisions will be questioned. If it goes well all the glory to God. Yet if it doesn’t, it is the pastor’s fault. As Paul said, they will be afflicted in “every way.” Changing churches or careers will seem like the greener pasture. Yet pastors must remember that God is sovereign and because He is in control, they are not, as the verse say, “crushed.” As one pastor said, “Squeezed, but not squashed.”

A Message from our Provider:

“Life – your only chance. Eternity – payback time”

Here is the great evangelical disaster – the failure of the evangelical world to stand for truth as truth. There is only one word for this – namely accommodation. The evangelical church has accommodated to the world spirit of the age. First, there has been accommodation on Scripture, so that many who call themselves evangelicals hold a weakened view of the Bible and no longer affirm the truth of all the Bible teaches – truth not only in religious matters but in the areas of science and history and morality… This accommodation has been costly, first in destroying the power of the Scriptures to confront the spirit of our age; second, in allowing the further slide of our culture. Thus we must say with tears that it is the evangelical accommodation to the world spirit around us, to the wisdom of this age, which removes the evangelical church from standing against the breakdown of our culture.

Francis Schaeffer
