In Galatians, Paul admonishes the church for perverting the gospel and making it different from what the Holy Spirit deliberately delivered to Him. In my opinion, what it comes down to is who the "preacher" of this relevant message is trying to please- God or man? Only men care whether or not their comfort zone is challenged. Only men are concerned with making our holy God relevant to their sinful nature. Only men are willing to settle for a "soft soap" message full of flattery and words with little conviction. When we're more concerned about pleasing Christ rather than men, it will change what we see as relevant- and ultimately the message that is delivered.Sarahhttp://www.dailyoffensive.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
