Dear Preacher, Politic or Gospel Preaching Sunday?


Dear Preacher,

As you know it is very hot outside and I am sure there are many sermon illustrations you have used for heat and your message.
Today as we consider attending church tomorrow I want to ask you is what are your preaching on this year on the Sunday before the 4th of July?
Are you preaching politics or the gospel?
I can get all the politics I want on FOX, CNN and MSNBC.
I noticed they have politics covered but none of those networks are sponsoring a gospel message that promotes Jesus Christ and Him crucified as the only hope for a world lost in sin.
We understand that is what the church offers, usually.
What are you offering the world in church?
So if its going to be politics we can all sleep in since the news agencies have political messages covered.
Are you offering us anything that can change our destinies eternally?
Sometimes preachers are skipping the gospel in place of politics at this time of year.
We can get all the politics we want on TV and talk radio and the internet and catch our rest.
Do you have politics and the gospel confused with each other?
Sunday who or what are we worshiping?
Can you give us a reason to attend worship services?
What will you preach on this Sunday?
Will it be your Politics or the Gospel?

Sincerely,

A Lost and Dying World
