One of the saints here at BBC emailed me an article about some guy who got mauled by lions while trying
to preach the gospel to them! While at first glace we may find this very odd behavior but once
you think about it for a spell you might change your mind.
Consider this, not long ago someone called me up and told me they had a family member that was dying.
They asked me if I would come and tell the dying person about how to have eternal life. Now this
person goes to a local denominational church. Of course I went and the family member trusted in
Christ for eternal life as a FREE gift.
My point is simply this. If you do not have a clear gospel message then you may as well go preach
to lions!! In fact, I would encourage you to do so for two reasons.
- If you go preach to lions then you will not be confusing everyone else with an unclear or perverted
gospel that will not save anyone.
- If you go preach to lions then perhaps the lion will eat you and end a lot of the confusion that
is caused by preaching an unclear message.
If you would like to know what a clear gospel message sounds like then just let us know. And
for those who persist in presenting a works oriented salvation I would love to give you directions to
the nearest zoo.
