—Isaiah 55:6-13
by: Lisa Moore.
In the 1980s, many churches started to be become “seeker sensitive.” To do that, churches removed pulpits, pews, hymns, choirs, crosses, and anything else that might make unbelievers “uncomfortable” coming to church. Preaching the consequences of sin and repentance also vanished, resulting in many mega churches. We must not revere watered down sermons that only make us feel good or make us laugh without calling for transformation in our daily lives. Jesus’ first sermon began with the command “repent” for a reason. We must acknowledge our sinful state and turn to the Lord with a changed heart and mind. God will have mercy and abundantly pardon. Hallelujah!
