The Truth Will Keep You Safe!

Thought you’d enjoy a little lighter “teachable moment”! Preaching the Gospel accurately and consistently and with clarity will give the Holy Spirit a clear and proper pathway into the minds and hearts of those whom He is calling!

Reverend Boudreaux was the part-time pastor of the local Cajun Baptist Church and Pastor Thibodaux was the minister of the Covenant Church across the road.

They were both standing by the road, pounding a sign into the ground, that read:

'Da End is Near
Turn Yo Sef 'Roun Now
Afore It Be Too Late!'

As a car sped past them, the driver leaned out his window and yelled, 'You religious nuts!'

Boudreaux turns to Thibodaux and asks, 'Do ya tink maybe da sign should jussay......'Bridge Out?'

When we hear the Gospel it’s “explicit good news” and “implicit bad news”!! If Christ be our righteousness (to turn ourselves around), then we are unrighteousness! (headed for a disaster where our “Bridge” is out!! To “properly communicate” the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we must preach it just as it is; He’s our only hope, and if we reject so great salvation, “da bridge is out!”
