Fellow Seventh-day Adventists, are we so bound up with programs and church work and fearing man rather than God that we are afraid to hear the gospel spoken to us straight?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m afraid that chapter 33 of the original Great Controversy book (The Sins of Babylon) is very true even among us:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I saw the state of the different churches since the second angel proclaimed their fall.  They have been growing more and more corrupt; yet they bear the name of being Christ&#8217;s followers.  It is impossible to distinguish them from the world.  Their ministers take their text from the Word, but preach smooth things.  The natural heart feels no objection to this.  <strong>It is only the spirit and power of the truth, and the salvation of Christ, that is hateful to the carnal heart.<\/strong>  There is nothing in the popular ministry that stirs the wrath of Satan, makes the sinner tremble, or applies to the heart and conscience the fearful realities of a judgment soon to come.  Wicked men are generally pleased with a form without true godliness, and they will aid and support such a religion.  Said the angel, Nothing less than the whole armor of righteousness can overcome, and retain the victory over the powers of darkness.  Satan has taken full possession of the churches as a body.  The sayings and doings of men are dwelt upon instead of the plain cutting truths of the word of God.  Said the angel, The friendship and spirit of the world are at enmity with God.  When truth in its simplicity and strength, as it is in Jesus, is brought to bear against the spirit of the world, it awakens the spirit of persecution at once.  Many, very many, who profess to be christians, have not known God.  The character of the natural heart has not been changed, and the carnal mind remains at enmity with God.  They are Satan&#8217;s own faithful servants, notwithstanding they have assumed another name.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I highly recommend this short sermon video, and if you can watch the whole thing without crying, you are definitely made out of different stuff than i am.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/nPIOkdNL-QQ\">Eric Ludy the gospel<\/a><br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This sermon of just over 11 minutes gives the gospel so succinctly, and so straight, it makes me wonder why God&#8217;s remnant people can&#8217;t have the gospel preached so powerfully among them?
