Moral Crusaders With Zeal But No Ethical

The Church Has Been Brought Into The Same Value System As The World: Fame, Success, Materialism And Celebrity. We Watch The Leading Churches And The Leading Christians For Our Cues. We Want To Emulate The Best Known Preachers With The Biggest Sanctuaries And The Grandest Edifices. Preoccupation With These Values Has Perverted The Church's Message.

The True Mark Of A Christian Leader Is Trying To Build Up Other People. Raise Up Other Leaders!

But All At Once I Realized That It Was Not My Success God Had Used To Enable Me To Help Those In This Prison, Or In Hundreds Of Others Just Like It. My Life Of Success Was Not What Made This Morning So Glorious -- All My Achievements Meant Nothing In God's Economy. "no, The Real Legacy Of My Life Was My Biggest Failure -- That I Was An Ex-convict. My Greatest Humiliation -- Being Sent To Prison -- Was The Beginning Of God's Greatest Use Of My Life; He Chose The One Thing In Which I Could Not Glory For His Glory.

The Gospel Of Jesus Christ Must Be The Bad News Of The Conviction Of Sin Before It Can Be The Good News Of Redemption. The Truth Is Revealed In God's Holy Word; Life Can Be Lived Only In Absolute And Disciplined Submission To Its Authority.

The Bible Has, Amazingly- No Doubt With Supernatural Grace-survived Its Critics. The Harder Tyrants Try To Eliminate It And Skeptics Dismiss It, The Better Read It Becomes.
