'In these days of deteriorate Church doctrine, when other remedies than that of the gospel are applied to the wounded spirit,'so wrote a 19th century preacher.As we look back we see that nothing has changed as in our present times,many are applying other remedies to wounded spirits, likewise the charge against so called prophets ,who were false prophets prophesying lies, at the time of Jeremiah ,God declared,'They have healed the heart of my people slightly,saying ,'Peace,Peace', when there is no peace.' The people needed to hear the truth,because the nation had turned away from God,and judgement was coming,and eventually did come when the Babylonians came and devastated the nation,most of the population would die,and those who were spared went into captivity. Alas as I have pointed out there are many false prophets today, who are betraying their calling, refusing to warn people that judgement is coming.The gospel is the only remedy for sinful humanity. it is God's remedy, and if people do not hear it they will not be saved from the wrath to come. If they continue in their sin there is no hope, all that awaits them is judgement,from which there will be no escape.
'O God ,in wrath ,remember mercy'
