They Cannot Bear Sound Doctrine
People cannot bear sound doctrine anymore. If you tell them the truth, they say, “Thou shalt not judge” — and somehow you become their enemy.
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine…” — 2 Timothy 4:3
“Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” — Galatians 4:16
The Zeal to Save Some
Now you are left with the zeal to save some — but you don’t know how to reach them without offence.
You’re afraid of their negative response, which can make you a devil in their eyes. Yet your love for positive change keeps you in unseen sorrows of lamentation, interceding on their behalf that they may be saved.
And they keep wondering why you can’t mind your own business — unknown to them that that IS your business: seeking, saving, scattered sheep.
Sorry — and Not Sorry
I am sorry — and not sorry — if I have offended you, or will offend you in any way, by my preaching. For I cannot bear to see you burn in hell.
So now that I have the opportunity, as given me this day, to save you while I can — I shall speak with all my possible best. Because I cannot bear to hold back the fire shut up in my bones, which can only be let out through my mouth, undoing the works of darkness.
“Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.” — Jeremiah 20:9
I Am Not Afraid of Your Faces
So whoever you are: I am not afraid of your faces. For I choose rather to obey God than to hide for the fear of men.
“Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.” — Jeremiah 1:8
“We ought to obey God rather than men.” — Acts 5:29
My love to see you blessed will never die.
God bless you.
