As God called men we must take a stand on Bible truth. We must preach the whole counsel of God, even when it goes against the status quoe. When it is politically incorrect to preach the whole counsel of God, we must preach the whole counsel of God.
I find it alarming at how hard we make excuses for things we do, and lead the Lord churches into. In a day and time when people will not endure sound doctrine, are we giving them what they desire? Are we becoming ear scratchers instead of Bible preachers?
The ecumenical movement is overcoming the Lord's churches and God's men. We are getting caught up in the excitement of getting along with everybody under one "Christian" banner. We are so caught up that we take Scripture, twist it around so that it justifies our actions.
We need BackBone men. BackBone to stand on Bible truth. And let us all remember, we are not in a popularity contest we are God called men--we are to feed the flock, lead the flock, and be an example to the flock.
How Is Your BackBone?

Are The Youth Of The World Being Entertained To Hell?
What are we teaching the youth of the world today? Are we teaching them that they are a sinner and in need of a Savior? Are we teaching them that Jesus is the only Savior and that for one to be saved they must accept Him by faith? Are we teaching them the importance of baptism and church membership after salvation? Are we teaching them that the religions of the world do not believe as the Lord's churches, even if it seems as if they do?
What do we teach the youth by our actions? Are we confusing them with our actions? Are we leading them into falsehoods by our actions?
The Bible teaches that the Lord's New Testament church is a teaching institution, the pillar and ground of the truth. Jesus commissioned His church to preach, baptize and teach. This is the work that the Lord sent His church into the world to do.
Over the years I have heard the phrase "we need to find a way to reach the youth of the world". I agree, we need to reach the entire world, including the youth. The Bible teaches us how to reach the people of the world, by the preaching and teaching of the Word of God. Romans 10:17 teaches us that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. According to the Bible we have the way God intended to reach lost sinners, including the youth of the world.
Why is it that we are so eager to find another way? Why does the preaching and teaching of God's Word not work anymore? The Bible fact is it does. God does not change. His way of leading mankind to Jesus is the same. People need the gospel: youth need the gospel.
I find it alarming that when I talk to young people about the Lord and church, how many tell me how fun their church is. Sadly, when asked about what they learn, they cannot tell you. All they remember, the ones whom I have talked to, is how much fun they have.
I love fun. I love to have fun. But according to the Bible fun will not save. Have we, the Lord's New Testament churches, exchanged our commission for entertainment and excitement? What is our goal in reaching the youth of the world? Do we want to see them saved, baptized, unite with a New Testament church and serve the Lord or do we want to make sure they have fun when they come to church?
What is our focus? What is your focus?Are we entertaining young people to hell?
