Will the Gospel Change Things? - By Don McGee - http://raptureready.com/soap2/mcgee33.html
Tragic and hate-inspired events are happening with growing regularity in civilized countries like our own. The question some Christians are asking is this: "Can the gospel still make a difference? But, the most prophetically precise question is this: "Will the gospel still make a difference?" The distinction between the two is not about the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ, but rather it is in understanding the spiritual monster that is being passed off as the gospel in these last days, and how it gives voice and inspiration to these hateful events.
Understood in light of prophecy, a "yes" answer to the first question can leave people somewhat hopeless because they clearly see this is not happening. A "not much" answer to the second question shows Satan's end time tool of a mongrel version of the gospel is having great effect. Some of the statements in this article may sting a little bit, so it is necessary to preface them with a few thoughts.
One: It is a fact that every preacher and teacher will be misunderstood at times, but that is a hazard that comes with the calling. Two: The gospel must always be presented with kindness and love if its message is to be heard. Three: It must also never be soft-sold or watered down to fit any culture. Four: The powerless social gospel message bears much of the blame for fostering the current and growing social unrest.
