February 26, 2026 / Biblical Issues are not Gospel Issues

2.26.26

Hey, Calvary Fremont –

Keep your ideology out of the Gospel.

You don’t put your Honey Nut Cheerios into the milk carton.
You don’t insert your french fries into the ketchup bottle.
You don’t stuff your pancakes into the syrup dispenser.
So, keep your ideology out of the Gospel. plop

I don’t want bits of cereal to come out when I pour the milk.
I don’t want pieces of french fries to fall out when I squeeze the ketchup bottle.
I don’t want soggy chunks of pancake to slop out when I use the syrup dispenser.
I don’t want fragments of your ideology to be included in the Gospel.

You don’t upload your cereal or your fries or your pancakes;
you download the milk and the ketchup and the syrup.
Don’t upload your ideology into the Gospel;
download the Gospel into your ideology.

The moral issues, the social justice causes, and the political policies of the day are important and should be addressed with Biblical wisdom. They are Biblical issues and not Gospel issues. The Gospel deals with man’s relationship with God. The moral issues, the social justice causes, and the political policies of the day deal with man’s relationship with man.

Let’s keep the Honey Nut Cheerios out of the milk bottle.

Be blessed and stay healthy and follow Jesus – Pastor Tim
