WOE IS UNTO ME IF I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL

“…WOE IS UNTO ME
IF I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL”
(I Corinthians 9:16)

The thought above is taken from the Apostle Paul’s first letter to the Church at Corinth [chapter nine, verse sixteen], “For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!” Paul’s whole life was consumed with Christ. It was the constraining love of Christ that caused him to offer body and soul to the cause of the Gospel. His life was a living sacrifice offered completely on the altar of consecrated service to the God and Father of Jesus Christ his Lord.
I do not think Paul would have responded favorably to the pragmatism of our day and time. The bulk of modern man’s religion would have been grievous to him. Elijah, the great prophet of old, would have challenged the Baal prophets of today’s “social clubs,” ridiculed them to shame and then chopped their heads from their shoulders.
The crying shame of the matter is that all that is being practiced in religion today is done in the name of a God that they know not. There is not an ounce of gospel truth preached in the average church. I speak of the Gospel of which the apostle said, let a man be accursed if he preach not the gospel. Matter of fact he said in the Galatian letter (1:8), “…But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel…” (than that he had first begun to preach) “let him be accursed.”
I have religious window shoppers occasionally visit the assembly and ask the question, “What do you offer the children?” Meaning what social activities are offered. I usually reply, “We have one thing that we offer for the whole family, namely the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Since all are sinners, all need the Gospel. To offer people social functions, activities, and entertainment and no Gospel for their souls must be the greatest sin of all. It would be a great boon for the few of us who try faithfully to keep to the mission of the New Testament Church, clearly preaching and witnessing the Gospel of the grace of God, that those who have so perverted that mission and message would divorce themselves completely from the Church of Jesus Christ. My point is, instead of identifying as the “First Whatever Church of So-n-So,” identify as the “First Social Club of So-n-So.” All that the pragmatics are doing is making poor sinners feel good while on their way to hell. It is just another case of the blind leading the blind.
