A Great Statement

Brother Wayne Jackson writes such helpful material for all Christians. His articles can be of great help to those who are not Christians as well. I figure I have read every article that has been published on ChristianCourier.com in the last two years, at least.

One of my favorite things brother Jackson does, though, is the “article-within-an-article.” In other words, sometimes he puts a little extra “umph” behind a point that, obviously, has gotten to him in the past. I believe he only does this to help others to see the rediculous nature of doing such things, not to “get back” at someone who has done it to him.

In the latest article, there is one of these “bonus” points. It is about how some people, whenever a preacher speaks to them about sin, say that he is not preaching out of love. Note what brother Jackson says:

A minister of God can spend his days and nights helping people; he can teach them rich truth, listen patiently to them in times of trouble, give them assistance in hours of financial crunch, help them in days of family crises, and assist them in burying their dead—occasionally with minimal gratitude. But when he feels the need to admonish them, because of a weakness or worldliness in their lives, suddenly he has become “unloving.” Figure that out!
