What is one thing the Church must get right?To preach and teach the biblical gospel is my business, not because I am a pastor, but because I am a Christian first and foremost. In Paul’s letter to Corinthians, Paul says, "For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified" (1 Cor. 2:2). The gospel is your business if you are a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ. Furthermore, the gospel is the church’s primary business. That is why the gospel is very personal and precious to me and it should be to you, to your family, and the church you are a member of. It is utterly important that we properly understand it, live it, defend it, tell others about it, fight for it, and be willing to even die for it.I would argue that many people in the church or outside of the church do not understand the biblical message of the gospel and salvation. It is perfectly understandable if the people outside of the church do not have the gospel or understand the gospel. But it is truly tragic when the people in the church do not have the proper understanding of the gospel or the biblical view of salvation. And when that becomes the case, a church is no longer a church; rather, it has forfeited its right to call itself a church regardless how popular that church is or how many people attend it. Thus one of the main reasons for wanting to write this particular article arises out of my deep concern for churches in general and specifically the church that God has called me to shepherd.If there is one thing we must get right, it is the gospel. We have room to make mistakes in the church since there is no perfect church (however, I am not advocating low quality in any sense). We can make mistakes in music or how we do announcements, etc. But there is one thing we cannot afford to make a mistake or fail. And that is the gospel. Because without it, there is no salvation and there is no solution to my sin and yours. And without the gospel, there is no heaven, and there is no hope. And without the gospel, there is no reason for the church’s existence.As the apostle Paul clearly warns in Galatians 1:7 there are individuals who disturb and distort the true gospel with false gospel. One of the God-given duties as a pastor is not only to preach and teach the Word of God, but also to warn the people of God concerning the false gospels and the people who spread those heresies. A true shepherd watches over the flock of God (cf. Luke 2:8; Heb. 13:17). And the apostle Paul demonstrates here in Galatians 1 what a true shepherd does. He protects and watches the flock of God by giving warnings. A shepherd or pastor who fails to do this is not a good shepherd let alone a true shepherd. My question to you is: Do you know the true and biblical gospel? If you are interested, visit our church’s Web site: www.fbcluverne.org.
