Preach the Word.. ( Daniel 12 v 2 - 3 )

When I became a minister many years ago,there was a rug on the floor of the pulpit, with the following words on it,'Preach the Word'. That is the challenge, that every Christian minister must carry out ,every time they stand up to preach. But alas the rot has set in, and so many ,so called ministers are not prepared to do this.There are things in the word that offends their sensitivities,I  know a minister  and in his eight years in a particular church,he has never mentioned hell once.An old hymn by Johnson Oatman. Jr ,has the following words in it, 'Some will tell us,that God's mercy is their only hope and plea . That a soul  He ( God ) could not punish thro'out eternity'.Let me say this not with any relish ,there is a hell,it is not something invented by man.There is two destinies facing mankind heaven or hell, the question is this, where will you spend eternity?
