Seven tough questions for a church

Hard questions for Pastors about their church

Q1. Are there any doctrines in the bible that should not be taught, any that are too tough?
A. No all the counsel of God should be should be taught. If something IS tough, then it should be explained, and prayed through, but the only way to get a true idea of the Lord is a full understanding of Him
Q2. Election, should it be taught publicly or privately when Christians are `more mature`
A: Romans 9 does not say "Warning, only for mature believers".
Q3. Doctrine of reprobation, apostasy be taught.
A: Yep or Heb 10, 1 John 2 & others will come as a big shock.
Q4. Should sin be preached on so as to make people aware of what it is and all sin should be rooted out of our lives?
A:Absolutely, lest we fall under Paul's waring to Timothy when they will not ensure sound doctrine but heap to themselves itching ears (2Tim 4v3)
Q5. Should the church deterring the type of worship?
A: No that's Gods business. Programs that try to make worship fashionable make God out to be a showman will just fail, for `.. t pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe (1Cor 1v21)
Q6. is worship used to save the lost?
A: NO, its for the people of God to worship the Lord. (John 4v24)
Q7. is the worship to be seeker friendly, designed to make them come back?
A: the church cannot compete with the world in the entertainment, because the world is just so much better at it than the church. It should be on what God has done & is doing, not what we have done (that is celebration)
