During my church visits the
sermons I’m hearing are on the soft and gentle side — peace, love and
self-improvement. Rarely do I hear a message about the importance and immediacy
of obedience to the Word of God. However, I can’t place all the blame on
pastors when we in the pew seem to be satisfied with pablum. The Lord speaks to
us today. “They say to the seers, “See no more visions!” and to the prophets, “Give
us no more visions of what is right! Tell us pleasant things, prophesy
illusions. Leave this way, get off this path, and stop
confronting us with the Holy One of Israel” (Isaiah 30:10-11 NIV)!
