A Call to Admonish the Church

I been reading Thomas C. Oden's Pastoral Theology, Chapter The Work of the Holy Spirit in Comfort, Admonition, and Discipline.

Here is the quote: "When sin is reduced to social determination, when history is viewed as having an inevitable trend upwards, and when uncritical tolerance is the centerpiece of all human values, do not expect the gift of admonition to be happily received or nurtured."

We who are, called to proclaim the message of salvation, preach on the nature of sin, advise on the ethics of leadership, counsel those who are broken in spirit, and speak on the morality of thoughts, words, and deed; must begin to hold each minister accountable if we are going to be taken serious as ministers of the gospel.

Those who are confronted through ministerial admonishing will either receive it and seek the grace of God to change their ways or will rage against the truth of real redemption only to die by prideful arrogance. I call on the church to stand up and begin to admonish the destructive ideas that destroys faith and salvation in the lives of our youth.

What are your thoughts?
