I live with it continuously, the "get me out of here" looks, the "let's change the subject" friends, the "how dare you say that" acquaintances; people call the truth "fearmongering."  How about this for fearmongering:

"When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said to them, 'O generation of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?  Bring forth fruit of repentance" Matthew 3:7-8.  John the Baptist was speaking here to the religious leaders of his day, who came to his baptism.  All of Jerusalem, Judea and Jordan came to him to be baptized, confessing their sins (verse 6); so here came the religious leaders, who were "haughty, pious, self righteous, hypocrites," but John called them snakes and asked them who warned them of the wrath to come.  He basically told them to repent and live a life demonstrative of repentance.  You won't hear that message from the likes of Joel Osteen today, with his membership of about 40K.  If he did preach the truth, his 40,000 congregation would dwindle to possibly about 40! 

"If your hand offends you (causes you to sin), cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life (eternal life) maimed, than having two hands and go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched, where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched" Mark 9:43-44.  Jesus taught this fact about resisting sin and the penalty of eternal hell fire to his disciples, yet you will probably never hear a sermon preached like this one from Rick Warren, with approximately 20K attending his church.  I imagine if he preached sermons after the manner of Christ, he might end up with a membership of 20!  Jesus only had a membership of 12, but of course, he wasn't preaching for money or gain; He was delivering the message of truth.  He said, "Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to lay His head" Matthew 8:20.  After Jesus was crucified, He was buried in a borrowed tomb (Matthew 27:58-60).  No, not every preacher who preaches the truth is poor, but in those few cases, God gives the increase, it isn't because they compromise the truth for gain. 

Jesus told His disciples, "You will be hated of all men for My name's sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved" Matthew 10:22.  Now why do you suppose Jesus said "You will be hated of all men for my name's sake," when, in fact, people just flock to the popular preachers today?  I'll give you a little hint.  They don't preach the same sermons Jesus preached!  He also said, "Fear not them who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul, but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell" Matthew 10:28.  Is this fearmongering? 

Is there anyone out there who is inclined to call Jesus, the Son of the living God, our Lord and Savior, a fearmonger?  No?  I suppose some think they will simply get away with accusing those of us who speak the truth, as Jesus's disciples.  That won't happen, for Jesus also said, "I say unto you that every idle word that men speak, they will give an account of it on the day of judgment" Matthew 12:36.

If you are one of those who hate to hear the Word of God which condemns sin, possibly you should consider why you hate it so much.  The truth is the truth.  Jesus also said, "You will know the truth and the truth will make you free" John 8:32.  Hearing the truth should shed light into our hearts about where we stand with God and if "sin lies at the door," it will either bring us to our knees in repentance, or cause resentment and bitterness against the living Word of God - not the messenger.  Some people think they resent the messengers for speaking or writing truth, for relaying the Word of God as Jesus spoke it; but truly, if you are in that frame of mind, you don't resent the messengers, you resent GOD Himself!  The Bible says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; but fools despise wisdom and instruction" Proverbs 1:7. 

If you find yourself in that condition, it is amazing how the peace of God will overwhelm you if you will only surrender to His truth and repent of hateful thoughts against it.  Indeed, the truth sets souls free.  God bless you.
