Correct. It was not your quote. It was from the article.

I'm pretty much in favor of any moral program that gets the gospel out to others or gets others in to hear the gospel.

Which Gospel? I didn't find it in PDL or PDC. In fact, both of them can be used with any religion and people of all religions are using it - simply adding it to their prior belief system instead of rejecting the former and turning to Christ alone. I thought the Gospel was exclusive to Christianity.

I am also in favor of the gospel going out but unfortunately what some men preach is not the gospel

Listening to Adrian Rogers today I heard Him say "if you want to find Satan" , look in the pulpit. This references that Satan can come as an angel of "light" . The Rev title or the collar is no promise of the gospel being preached.

On his show today Tom Shrader said most churches including Lutheran churches are preaching what he left the church over. Luther would not be comfortable in them.

Lets face it too many churches teach a gospel of comfort here.

Last week I think it was that Mac Arthur noted that so many churches are busy preaching the gospel that God wants you happy here, that he has a plan for your life here, that people no longer hear about heaven .

Thus people look at death as the enemy, the real purpose of the gospel and Christ seems to be to make life good and sweet.

That is not the gospel of Christ .
