Ashamed of the Gospel: When the Church Becomes Like the World

I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of the God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16 // With this verse, John MacArthur begins to remind us of C.H. Spurgeon’s warning in 1800’s England. “Everywhere there is apathy. Nobody cares whether that which is preached is true or false. A sermon is a sermon whatever the subject; only, the shorter it is the better.” Charles Haddon Spurgeon // Until all that changes, until we return to our calling to go into all the world and preach the Gospel without shame, the Church is in danger of losing its impact on society. And that would be our generation’s greatest loss.
