Well, it’s starting to leak out. The message of God’s inclusion of all humanity in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, resulting in them being forgiven, loved and included.
This is, very gradually, now being preached by a very few mainstream, big-time ‘famous'[1] preachers such as televangelist Creflo Dollar. I make no comment about Creflo’s ministry here, about his other teachings, or anything like that; I am simply stating that the Grace and Inclusion message is getting out there.
Creflo has already suffered rejection and condemnation from Christians, of course, for preaching this amazing message. They are like the Prodigal Son’s elder brother, who thought he had to work for his father’s approval. The message of Grace says this is not so. Over to Creflo:
“God doesn’t look at the world through the lens of judgment. He looks through the empty tomb Jesus stepped out of. And when He rose, He raised the world into a new status: Forgiven, Loved, and Included. This is the human race. To everybody in the human race… to anybody here that’s not a born-again Christian…. He raised you to this status. *You* are forgiven, you are loved, and *you* are included”.
– Creflo Dollar
Brilliant!

| ⇧1 | My regular readers will know that I don’t really go in for ‘big names’ and famous people; all believers have in them the same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead. There is no ‘Holy Spirit Lite’; She’s the same Spirit. Yes I understand about special anointings and all that but I don’t believe that anointing should elevate anyone to ‘celebrity’ status. This is simply an artefact of society in general wanting other humans they can, in some way. ‘look up’ to. |
