Dr. D. James Kennedy 2

I agree with those who have pointed out the fact that he has too much politics in the pulpit. When the Apostle Paul was writing his letter to the Romans he did not say if we can convince the Senat or get enough votes in the Senate then we can create a Rome that God would bless, but rather Paul said "I am ready now to preach the Gospel to you who are at Rome, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek." Notice it is the gospel (which by the way Kennedy gets wrong too, because he thinks gospel means a method of getting to heaven when you die)that he preaches, which is the proclamation that Jesus is Israel's Messiah, the son of David and by extention Lord of the world as has been proclaimed with power by the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. In other words, Jesus is Lord and Caesar is not. Those who trust in him are his people and will be raised up with Jesus. This was, at least, the message that Paul preached and noticed no lobbying the Senate is mentioned. "It is not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit saith the Lord." This verse is something that Kennedy and others fail to get. The gospel is powerful enough to transform, but it has to be preached.
