Sermon: The Middle Ground

(Mt 12:22-50) When confronted with Christ, there is no such thing as a neutral or moderate position. There is only acceptance and obedience, which makes you part of God's family, or non-obedience and rebellion, which results in judgment. It is not enough to merely avoid bad to try and be reformed yet neutral about Christ. If we do not accept Christ in our hearts, we are still prone to evil. We need to be reborn through Christ, not just reformed without Christ, otherwise our condition will be worse than the beginning.
