We Have Forgotten That the Way Is Narrow

September 9, 2008 in Christian Living by Isaiah | 10 comments

Thank God for preachers like brother Paul Washer, and brothers like Lane Chaplin who make these sermons available on YouTube!

This is one of the first of many Paul Washer’s sermons that I heard a good time ago, and I can’t even begin to tell you how much it has affected me and my Christian walk. If you’ve read my testimony you’d know that I was one of many who said that ‘miracle prayer’ and became a (carnal) Christian for many years after.

Knowing how dangerous that belief is, I beseech you — that If you haven’t heard this sermon before and truly examined to see if you are saved (2 Corinthians 13:5), please take the time to today! I pray that it has an impact on you as it had on me.

Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Matthew 7:13-14 NASB

Just Look How Far We’ve Come!

“Progress”, indeed.

What used to be called modesty
Is now called a sexual hangup.

What used to be called Christian discipline
Is now called unhealthy repression.

What used to be called disgusting
Is now called adult.

What used to be called moral irresponsibility
Is now called being freed up.

What used to be called telling a lie
Is now called being disingenuous

What used to be called chastity
Is now called neurotic inhibitions.

What used to be called self indulgence
Is now called self fulfillment.

What used to be called living in sin
Is now called a meaningful relationship.

What used to be called perversion
Is now called an alternate lifestyle.

What used to be called ethical anarchy
Is now called the theology of liberation.

What used to be called killing an unborn baby
Is now called choice.

Florida Pastor Issues 30-Day Sex Challenge for Congregation

Marriage, Sex, and IntimacyA Florida church has issued a challenge to all singles and married couples in the congregation — that singles go without sex for 30 days while married couples go at it everyday for the same period.

I don’t know about you but I think somehow there’s an implication that the church doesn’t bat an eyelid about singles having sex after those 30 days.

“Our married people are far more fearful than our single people,” said Paul Wirth, the pastor.

As well they should be! Run, Forrest, run!

In other news, this is interesting to me because of my own take on Biblical prophecy:

Rome’s Mayor: UN and Pope For ‘United Religion’

Walter Veltroni today resigned as mayor of Rome to focus exclusively on his campaign to become Italy’s prime minister in the April national election. In his goodbye to the press, Veltroni talked about “a place where religions can meet and talk”.

No prizes for guessing correctly where that might be: Rome.

“I have discussed the idea to make Rome a place where a building could be constructed that would be called ‘United Religion’ with the secretary-general of the UN and the Pope; it would be a place for all religions in the world. I would like to see this idea carried out and to see this place of exchange between several religions”.
