A hard word from James MacDonald

While I don't always agree with any brother on everything, I found this word from James MacDonald to be quite appropriate. In a society where everyone is looking to be loved and accepted, it is quite often the case that men called to preach God's Word have gone the way of ease instead of being faithful to God's Word.

This article hits hard, but fairly in my estimation. I suggest reading the whole thing here. To whet your appetite, I offer the following quotes:

"I wish I could tell you that most pastors are preaching the Word. I can’t—some are not. Here are five things we may choose to do instead of preaching the Word..."

"If you don’t want to be the aroma of death to those who are perishing, you can never be the aroma of life to those who are being saved. That’s why preaching is hard work."
