In a comment this week, someone warned me that my thoughts may not be convenient to me financially. I’m well aware of that. If I wanted to be more popular, I would go with what sells. Praise the U.S. and the G.O.P. Make fun of global warming, Obama, etc. Dump on those who make tough decisions about whom to include in church directories. Criticize anyone who chooses to stand up for traditional doctrines. Talk about feeding people and building houses and avoid talking about evangelism…

I know what plays in Peoria.

Unfortunately, I’m committed to teach the truth as I see it. Not what’s popular. Not what’s trendy. Not what’s convenient or comfortable. As a friend of mine pledged when accepting the role of pulpit minister at a certain congregation: “I will teach the Word of God no matter the personal cost.”
