In teaching today, I’ve found that there are some mountains to climb in regards to explaining the Gospel to people in differing ages,backgrounds, and current cultures. The major mountains are:
- People are bitter towards “cultural Christianity”. We have got to people past this hump and explain to them that Christians aren’t perfect, and those that advertise they are are wrong and are liars.
- People don’t like to think of God as human. Period. It’s inconceivable to many.
- People don’t like to think that there is a single way. They don’t want to hear that their loved ones (or even themselves) may not have eternal life (if there is such a thing). They just don’t like the sound of it.
I know this isn’t news to most of you (and I knew it as well), it’s just so overwhelming to see it in practice. Thank God for the Word of God
