Is Love The Only Doctrine?

Is Love The Only Doctrine?

I saw a church sign the other day that read, “Love is the only doctrine of this church.” That sounds lovely, doesn’t it? What’s wrong with love? In fact, the Bible says God is love. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love (1 John 4:8). And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him (1 John 4:16). God is love. So is love the only doctrine? Is this what the Bible says?

Is love the only doctrine? No it is not. God is love. Love is one of God’s many, many, countless attributes. But it is only one of many. Yes, again, God is love. But God is also righteous, Holy and just. He is even wrathful. You can’t just tout one attribute of God. In doing so, you miss God! You miss the God of the Bible. We can never fully understand God with our finite minds. But God graciously gave us His word so we can know Him.

Love Is Not The Only Doctrine

God’s word points us to Jesus Christ the Lord and love is NOT the only doctrine of Jesus. The Lord Jesus was tough on self-righteous, religious leaders. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in (Matthew 23:13). Jesus was also tough on His own disciples. Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken (Luke 24:25).

The woke crowd in America would most definitely call Jesus unloving because of the words He spoke to the religious leaders and to His own disciples. Worse yet, Jesus was intolerant. Very intolerant. Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6). Yes, woke Americans will not tolerate the intolerance of Jesus. Even though He is he Sons of God and He is the only Savior. [Read more…]

So You Guys Are Christians?

Anand, Michael and I witnessed downtown Friday night. I got there first and as I was walking to the witnessing spot, I saw four teenagers standing around so I walked up and handed them tracts. The first young man took one, then as I handed a tract to the second one, he said, “What’s this?” I replied, “It’s a Gospel tract.” Then he said, “Oh, cool.” Then I asked them, “So you guys are Christians?” They shook their heads up and down.

Then I asked them how they became Christians? The third guy said from church and the fourth teenager said that he grew up in a Christian home. Since they didn’t mention anything about repentance and faith in Jesus, I shared a shortened version of my testimony with them. I told them how I spent 33 years as false convert and how I would have gone to Hell if I had died anytime before I was truly saved. I don’t want anyone to go to Hell. That’s why I hand out tracts and share the Gospel. They didn’t have any questions, so I asked them if they have Bibles and they said they do. I encouraged them to read the Bible every day. I shook their hands and thanked them for listening. [Read more…]

Rocks Would Cry Out

My friends and I lift up the precious name of Jesus because He is worthy of all honor, praise and glory. He is the only Redeemer. Jesus is the only Savior. He is the sinless Son of the living God. When the Lord made His triumphant entry into Jerusalem, the religious leaders didn’t like it that the crowd was praising Jesus and they said He should make the people quit. Jesus replied that the rocks would cry out if the people stopped praising Him.  [Read more…]

Ministry Update April 16, 2017

It’s hard to describe Friday night. We had the usual mockers saying hail Satan, f you, you’re judging me, motorcyclist and drivers revving engines to drown us out as well as a parked motorcyclist blaring his music. We also had the guy back that mooned us – again and a group of girls started dancing together close to where we were witnessing. But praise God there were around 15 to 17 of us witnessing and the preachers kept preaching!  [Read more…]

Who Are The Lost?

Seek and Save the Lost Old Banner

The name of this ministry is Seek and Save the Lost. It comes from Luke 19:10 where Jesus says: For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. People visit this website from all around the world. Recently, several people have asked the question: who are the lost? This is a very good question. Who are the lost? Who was Jesus talking about in Luke 19:10? He had just told Zacchaeus that he was coming to his house. The people who heard Jesus say this murmured because Jesus was going to eat with what they called a sinner and He wasn’t going to dine at one of the religious leader’s homes.  [Read more…]

In Luke 20:17-18, Jesus is talking about the religious leaders at that time. The verses state, And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. [Read more…]

Was Jesus Politically Correct?

Was Jesus politically correct? Do you think Jesus took any sensitivity training classes? Did He need to? Is Jesus politically correct today?

To answer these questions, let’s take a look at some of the actions Jesus took as well as some of the things Jesus said to the religious leaders more than 2,000 years ago. Jesus drove out the buyers and sellers at the temple and He overturned the money changer’s tables at the temple (Matt. 21:12). Jesus also called the religious leaders of His day hypocrites and blind guides! (Matt. 23:13-16). Jesus hung out with prostitutes, tax collectors and sinners (Matt. 11:19). (This doesn’t mean Jesus condoned their behavior. In fact the Bible points out in several places that a lot of these sinners changed their ways after encountering Jesus). [Read more…]
