wretched

You are hitting the leftist nail on its head my friend:
Trump Derangement or something much darker?

Thank you for the devotion.
I enjoyed your thoughts. We do need to meditate on how God sees us as we really are. On how God is compassionate for us, and give this compassion to others, in order to help them as God helped us. Maybe this is the spirit of Matthew 10:8, "... freely ye have received, freely give." 
 

You misunderstand Rhonda. You have my word that I am not sharpshooting anyone. The OP is extremely well thought out and your post to it is also.
My post was just a reminder to all of us to make sure we preach condemnation and hell along with Heaven or the cross is of none effect.
 
 

You bring up really good points Rhonda so I am quoting you just to make a general plea.
To paraphrase what you said about this passage: The despised and base of this world need less Scripture and conviction to realize they are.
The Graham crusades fathered the emerging church hell-less gospel movement IMO. This downward spiral satan has used for some 40-50 years now to deceive millions into head belief (and hell) of the historical facts concerning Jesus' death on the cross.
Please remember that God poured out His Spirit over all flesh to convict the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment to come. Make double sure that Scripture on sin, judgment and hell are clearly presented or the Spirit cannot work and the cross will mean little to them. The Spirit must work with those Scriptures or else we will continue to produce more head believers who never regenerated. Without a Spirit broken heart, then is no salvation.
Will this produce as many "professions", absolutely not; will it produce more real fruit that remains, absolutely yes.
Just a friendly admonition.
