You ever wonder this question
Why is it that I being a member of Verity Baptist Church? I love this preaching
But most people don't
Why is it that mo and you know make no mistake about it?
It is not just unsafe people that don't like this preaching
There are plenty of safe people. In fact, most safe people don't like this preaching
Why is it that you like this preaching so much and yet a lot of people would never like this preaching
Well, one of the major reasons is because people want to live on godly
People don't like this preaching a large reason why they don't want to live for God John 3 verse 19
And this is the condemnation that light is coming to the world and men love darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil
Whoever on the dew of evil hate the light neither cometh to the light lest his deeds should be reproved
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light that his deeds may be made
Manifested they are rotten God and the Bible saying the person that doesn't want to live for God. He wants to live on godly
He doesn't want the light shined on his life
You say why because he's guilty
It would be like you walk into your house at nighttime and the lights are off man. It looks clean
Then you turn on the lights. Oh, man, it's really dirty. Let's just turn off the lights
That doesn't fix the problem my friends
But people live sinful lives they live wicked lives and they don't want the light being shined on their sin
They don't want people to realize that hey, you know what? I'm guilty
So instead of fixing their problems
They just avoid a church like this because they can go to plenty of churches where they're gonna pat you on the back and say
Everything's okay. God loves you no matter what you've done
God loves you and you're doing a great job, but that's not this church
I don't just pat you on the back and say whatever sin you committed. It's okay. As long as you give me your tithes
We don't do that at Verity Baptist Church. We shine the light on sin
We show what the Bible says and here's the truth. Sometimes that hurts
Hard preaching is always great until ouch that saying reproaches me also
Right and all of us we hear the preaching that hits a little close to home and our first reaction. It doesn't feel good
But you are a fool if you would rather be lied to and live in darkness because it's the shining the light that is going
To cause you to fix the problems in your life
But one major reason people don't like the preaching is they want to live on godly
They don't want to serve God. I mean if you don't read the Bible, you don't want someone saying hey
We're either in all the days of our life or we're not right with God
Right, if you want to listen to worldly rock music and I get up here and say hey rock music's of the devil
You'd rather just go to a church where they don't say that
Why because you don't want to make any changes in your life
