The health-wealth preachers often quote 3 John 2 . Blessings are important . But we should never forget that the One who blesses is far more important than the blessing we receive . Hence we should not forget about our responsibility . We should not take one single verse out of context and apply it to ourselves . We must be able to find the right context of the verse before interpreting it .
There is a group of preachers who preach what is called ' Hyper-grace .' ' Live as you like ' is their theme for preaching . They encourage sinfulness citing God ' s grace . They quote Romans 6th chapter 1st verse ignoring the 2nd verse . Grace is free but not cheap . This is merely abuse of the grace of God forgetting the fact that God is Holy and awesome and He is going to come again to judge the world and we will be paid back according to our deeds .
The Bible is the key for revival , restoration and reformation . It is the guide to our life . It also acts as a testing standard for all our spiritual experiences . We observe that there are a lot of novel experiences and people are very much interested in these new things . In such a time as this , we should not forget that Bible is the basis for all experiences and any revival or reformation should be based on the Bible .
Bible should be the center of all religious activity . Great men of God are always the men of the Bible . Let us always come back to the Bible .
There was a reformation 500 years back during the time of Martin Luther . But today we find that there is so much of deviation and backsliding . People are moving away from God ' s Word . Liberalism has invaded us . Materialism has mesmerized us . The world has come into the Churches and Christian organizations . We have lost the Biblical standard . We are not where God wants us to be .
God wants reformers even today . He wants to use us and fill His Church with His glory . Let us prepare ourselves and others for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ . We need another Reformation today .
Maranatha !
