Pulpits fail if they preach to legislate morality and ethics without preaching the necessity of a relationship with Christ. The local assembly fails by not allowing a convert time to grow into a relationship with Christ. We must not ignore the Gospel. I do what I do - not seeking approval and acceptance of man... I'M IN LOVE WITH HIM. That makes this way of life a delight. Preach the Gospel and let them grow...
But his delight is in the law of the Lord ; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Psalms 1:2 KJV
