In this episode, I explain and warn against the tendency we have to moralize the text and characters in the Bible. In our zeal to help people improve, we often fail to share the proper way to betterment with them: A relationship with Jesus Christ. Moralistic preaching is dangerous because it gives people false hope. Moralizing the text and calling upon people to do better without pointing them to Jesus sets people up for failure. Moralizing the text can lead lost sinners to believe they can become pleasing to God through their good works and positive life changes. The antidote to moralism in our preaching is to focus on Jesus in every sermon.
