Consequences Of Non-Expositional Preaching (13)

Continuing our series that explores and highlights the consequences of not preaching expositionally.

John MacArthur

It lies to people about what they really need.

In Jeremiah 8:11, God condemns the prophets who treated people’s wounds superficially. That verse applies powerfully to the plastic preachers that populate so many prominent evangelical pulpits today. They omit the hard truths about sin and judgment. They tone down the offensive parts of Christ’s message. They lie to people about what they really need, promising them “fulfillment” and earthly well-being–when what people really need is an exalted vision of Christ and a true understanding of the splendor of God’s holiness.
