Points:
A healthy church will receive correction.
God is love and correction.
Pastor who are salt will be considered as only bitter by worldly Christians.
Light exposes what is hidden.
If we are not careful, we will say God's methods are not good.
You can't preach the gospel packaged in the world.
Summary:
If we're not careful, we'll say we're tired of God's mouth. God has called certain people to be a mouthpiece. The mouth He gives His chosen pastors will pass down to the followers. If you are a leader called by God, you can't be politically correct. You must say what God tells you to say. God told Jeremiah that His Word that He was giving to him would be like fire and Israel would be like wood. The words God gave Jeremiah would devour them because they would not receive correction. God is love and correction. If we who call ourselves Christians don't receive His correction, we are just gaining knowledge without transformation. Even demons are knowledgeable about God. Light exposes what's hidden. It is important for Christians to remain sanctified, set apart. We can't preach the gospel packaged in the world. Don't let it hurt your feelings when those that don't follow God come against you.
