The Lord’s Attitude on Social Gospel
The work of the church is not eating and drinking
Romans 14:17 – For the kingdom of God is not eating and
drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy
Spirit.
Men have only been converted by the pure
preaching of the gospel.
Romans 1:16 – For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for
it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes…
Go and Preach – Mark 16:15
Faith comes by hearing the word – Rom 10:14-17
Faith DOES NOT come by entertaining!
God is not pleased – 1 Corinthians 11:20-22
Evangelism MUST be to the heart of men.
7) Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for
whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
8) For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap
corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the
Spirit reap everlasting life.
Have a chicken dinner, you get people with
bellies full of chicken.
Have a Halloween carnival, you have bellies
full of junk food.
Have a financial seminar, you have pockets
full of cash.
Have a bible study???
You will have souls full of the gospel!

16) Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already
attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of
the same mind.
Let us retain the standard!

31) Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed in
Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples
indeed.
32) “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free.”
