The ministry style of Jesus vs. the ministry style of many churches today.


So many churches today don't have the courage to preach the Gospel.  They water things down to make it "easier" for people to accept.  Let's compare that to how Jesus handled those who wouldn't believe.

Mark 6:10-11(NKJV)
Also He said to them, “In whatever place you enter a house, stay there till you depart from that place. 
And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”

Isn't it interesting that Jesus didn't tell His disciples to pander to those who wouldn't believe.  Jesus didn't take a Kumbaya approach to the unbelievers.  Seems to me that Jesus took the approach that they heard the message, they exercised their free will and rejected Jesus, Jesus accepted their free will decision and didn't try to talk them into it, and Jesus said that they will pay the consequences for their decision.  Case closed.

Big difference, isn't it?
