I was wondering that if pastors are supposed to preach their convictions that God has given them through the Holy Spirit, why do so many preach sermons that never offend? Isn’t the message of the gospel offensive to those who are not saved? Shouldn’t pastors preach on the social issues of the day that adversely affect our society, including homosexuality, abortion, and socialism? Why is a pastor’s free speech muzzled not only by the IRS but the you-are-us crowd in the pews? Why are worship services for God filled with the easily offended unsaved who do not know how to worship God? And why are pastors so afraid to offend them? Makes one wonder…

That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day. (2 Timothy 1:12)Categories

@” Shouldn’t pastors preach on the social issues of the day that adversely affect our society, including homosexuality, abortion, and socialism?”
….
because this is not the gospel.
the gospel is not about “thou shall not ….”
the gospel is not about Morality, or a way of living
the gospel is God’s righteousness revealed, God’s love.
the gospel is offensive to pastors who do not know the gospel.
therefore let the homosexuality, abortionist, and socialist and the like
receive the gospel! look and wait for the result.
Paul must have felt muzzled then…
