A Church Without the Gospel

The church's voice seems so void in this modern age so spiritually dim where atheism and modernism in charge controlling social opinion forever in film so many churches water down the message where the gospel is no gospel at all losing it's effect with no power in effect no wonder sin is rampant no longer small But the question needs to be asked what is the church without the gospel? can it be called indeed one anymore when souls cry to go to God's hospital The only medicine that can cure sin is the gospel of God's redeeming grace but it must be told truly as it is and not carnal entertainment in it's place The Bible says what God has declared repent of sin and believe God's word this is God's church only real message anything less is completely absurd So church of Christ from death arise put on your gospel armour bright be bold be strong and stand fast it's still day shine forth before it's night ('There is nothing so useless as a church without the gospel' - J.C. Ryle (1816-1900)
