It is true that I have often been accused of putting too much emphasis on the message of the Cross, and of preaching little else, at a time when one hears very little about this subject from the pulpit. Yet, I would answer with a question of my own: Why shouldn t the foundational message of Jesus Christ what the early apostles taught, what you read in the epistles of Paul, James, John, and Peter be preached in every church everywhere, all the time? The preaching of the message of the Cross is the basic message of Christianity!
