“ Great Sermon on Gospel more important than moralis ” Personal view: ¶ Dr. Rugh often will have more than one topic covered in a sermon. He makes a natural switch from moralism to what really matters -- the Gospel. This occurs 39 min. into the sermon. ¶ How often have you shared the Gospel this year, add up the number of times? ¶ John 8:31-32 Evangelicals jumping on the bandwagon judging between the righteous and unrighteous -- but God doesn't judge on external actions. ¶ The Truth will make you free not stopping a particular sin activity. You can be against homosexuality and adultery etc. all your life and still go to hell! The bottom-line issue is--are you a slave of God or the Devil? The most important issue in the world, are you for Christ or against him? You aren't a Christian if you're against homosexuality and not a Christian if you support it, you're actually a moralist. The problem is not the promotion of abortion etc., in this country, but God says that it is the result of people obeying their lusts. ¶ A Christian is to be moral but why are we judging unbelievers? God wants them to hear the Gospel. They have an internal problem of rejecting God. ¶ We are all sinners before God, even the most righteous people. Making more Pharisees won't clean up society. --See 2 Cor. 4:1-7!-- The world is ripe for judgement.

“ Great Sermon! on Self-Righteousness ” To paraphrase: Par. Pastor Gil isn't one of the 1500 to tell you how to vote in 2012. Gil is more concerned with what Bible believing Christians should be concerned about. Gil uses the term "Evangelical," as shorthand phrase in this sermon, though it has little meaning anymore. Gil looks at those Evan. leaders who look at candidates as being moral or not. Par. You have to clarity and understanding of Romans I. What is immoral is promoted as normal by some politicians. [More & more of them!] Many Evans. say we have to stand for the Biblical morals. All secular men suppress God's truth and everyone knows the truth about God, but they are without excuse according to Romans I. They are futile in their reasoning and their hearts are darkened. Sin makes them stupid. They worship themselves. Par. The problem in this country isn't,.e.g., homosexual marriage as some Evan. pastors say, stopping this won't even stop the decay of the country for the foolishness of these men has to be dealt with. Their corrupt heart is the disease; their behavior is just a symptom. Par. Treating symptoms is denial of what God said. When you are judging people who aren't Christian, you condemn yourself. Prideful moralists are guilty before God. Christian "Pharisees" aren't following Christ.
In the fall of 1969, Gil began a full-time teaching ministry as Senior Pastor of Indian Hills Community Church. He also earned his Ph.D. from the California Graduate School of Theology. The focus of Pastor Rugh’s ministry is systematic, verse-by-verse teaching of the Bible. As a...
