In this morning’s Bible reading, part of my time was spent reading 2 Corinthians 4, where Paul shares how he doesn’t lose heart in serving the Lord. Very needed words for all of us as discouragement is a very real battle. However, I noticed something else in this chapter: how to respond to those who reject the truth.
In v. 3-4, Paul speaks of those who reject the gospel. However, his answer is NOT to adapt or dilute or change it in order to make it more acceptable to those who reject.
His answer is CLARITY and BOLDNESS. Read v. 2, 5-6.
These two responses are playing out in the church today with many churches heading down the road to apostasy by compromising the clear teaching scripture. Rejection of the truth makes the false church compromise and makes the true church double down. Think about it.
