“Is Following Jesus a Christian Bait-and-Switch Scheme?” May 19
Bait-and-switch schemes, we have all heard of them and no one wants to be a victim of one. But could following Jesus ever come across as one more bait-and-switch scheme?
Recently, I heard of someone who said he was willing to come to church to “see what God has to offer him.” While that sounds self-serving, it’s understandable for an unbeliever, especially in this day of consumerism. But are there preachers whose messages feed that very idea? Could they be replacing the true gospel with a false one that keeps people from seeing their genuine need for Christ?
