By Storm

Whenever the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ advances, it does so by storm. As you look back over the last two thousand years, you will see the repeated attempts by lesser gods to silence and put out the news of God's unmerited favor for sinners.

To realize that in Christ there is no longer Jew nor Gentile, slave nor free, male nor female, nor any other class distinction but that Christ is all and in all (Gal. 3:28; Col. 3:11) demolishes our precious constructs of superiority.

The lesser gods of exclusivism do not go gently in that good night, but rather rage, connive, conspire and attack all truth that crucifies anything that tries to exalt itself above Jesus Christ.

The Western Church needs to realize that the Gospel of Jesus Christ will never be popular or painless but when embraced will always liberate... but not after calling us to die to our self-importance.
