For the past 50 years, Christians have stood in the background not making any waves.  They try to appease, then try to discuss.  By making people happy and not insulting them, they would come to Jesus.

 

Sadly that is the furthest from the truth.  Jesus told the truth, even if it was insulting.  It was brutal at times.  It was direct.  It was the truth.  The religious leaders of the day did not like it and did not want to hear it.  They like the status quo. 

The church has gotten away from speaking the truth.  After all it may offend someone.  So what?  Would you rather offend them here and they change their minds and go to heaven or wait until they stand before God and He sentences them to everlasting damnation?  It is time for the church to start speaking the truth and standing up for what is right before there is no chance at all.
