See, here's my issue. the church has become so preoccupied with M&M's (Money & Membership) that it has forgotten that the truth mush be told to transform the world into the Kingdom of God. Instead the church id too preoccupied with letting the world transform it. Christians are suppose to be in the world, not of the world. But to not tell the truth about Hell, Sin, Temptations, Depravity, and only preach grace and reward is imbalanced and wrong. We cannot raise and mature our sons and daughters on milk alone. People talk about how Jesus preached grace, but they forget that he preached about sin, the devil and hell too.
