Jesus Christ did not die on the cross so you and I could have a nice day.Ministers and teachers who water down the gospel of Christ in order to make it more popular and appealing may be leading their fun-loving audiences down the road to eternal punishment.This book is John MacArthur's unflinching, unapologetic treatise on the modern tendency to alter the true message of Christianity in order to meet the whims and desires of a culture hoping for nonconfrontational messages, easy answers, and superficial commitments.Too many people just want a Madison Avenue Jesus to make them well, make them happy, and make them prosperous. But Jesus Christ isn't a personal genie. He is the Savior. He died in agony to satisfy the wrath of a holy God and to forgive the sins of humankind. Faith in Him demands a willingness to make any sacrifice He asks. The hard truth about Christianity is that the cost is high, but the rewards are priceless: abundant and eternal life that comes only from faithfully follwing Christ.

Book Description Paperback. First Edition Thus, Second Printing. Fine in Wraps: binding square and secure; text clean. Virtually 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 219pp. First Edition Thus, Second Printing. Denominational Press Paperback. When churches start marketing themselves to customers, they get consumers. When churches get back to the Book of Acts and proclaim the Whole Gospel (Discipleship, Follow Me) to the Whole World, they get communers. When Jesus, Salvation, Sin, the Cross, Repentance and Commitment to Self-Denial are downplayed or 'saved for believer-time only', you get seekers. When the Hard-to-Believe Full Gospel of the Crucified/Risen Jesus Who commands all people to repent or else is preached and taught sans apology in a loving but uncompromising way, you get sinners seeking salvation in Christ alone. When Love is offered with no mention of Judgment, Gospel with no Law, Justification with no Sanctification, Heaven with no Hell or Earthly emphasis (God will heal you, things will go better, you will feel more connected, me me me I I I), it is a convoluted, truncated Madison Avenue consumerism pseudo-gospel. For those who are struggling so much with what MacArthur is saying in this challenging book, please read the sermons of Peter and Paul in Acts to the crowds of Jews & Gentiles. Then compare to what you're hearing in your comfy evangelical pew. Let the Holy Spirit convict and correct pulpits accordingly!. Seller Inventory # 43687
