Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe

Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe

# 22: When is the last time the man you call pastor spoke of the upcoming judgement seat of Christ? Can’t remember? The judgement seat of Christ is a certainty, more so then your next birthday. There you must give an account to Christ the judge, and there the status of your eternal future will be revealed. Life on earth should be a daily preparation for that day. And yet evangelicals are almost totally oblivious to this reality because the pulpit is silent on this matter. Shouldn’t Pastor Whoever teach/highlight that which the New Testament teaches/highlights? Shouldn’t he emphasize what the New Testament emphasizes? Listen to the New Testament….

2 Cor 5:10: “We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.” Rom. 14:10: “We must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.” 1 Cor. 3:13: “each one’s work…. will be revealed by fire.” 1 Cor. 3:15: “If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss.” Rom. 2:6: “[Jesus] will render to each one according to his deeds.” Acts 10:42: “[Jesus] was ordained by God to judge the living and the dead.” Rom. 14:12: “each of us shall give account of himself to God.” Gal. 6:7: “Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” Eph.6:8: “whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord.” James 3:1: “teachers…. shall receive a stricter judgment.” Mat.16:27: “the Son of Man…. will reward each according to his works.”

Evangelical, you have every right to be enraged. The fellow you pay to shepherd you isn’t earning his wages. His negligence is costing you a depreciated eternity.
