One week after publicly repenting for failing to preach the whole Gospel, evangelist Todd White said his mission now is to now “wake up” the “dysfunctional” and “sleeping” American Church.
“Last week, I shared, ‘I repent for not preaching the full Gospel,’” White, founder and president of Lifestyle Christianity, said in a sermon delivered Aug. 2. “If any of you think that you know it all about the Gospel, you’re deceived. I don’t care who you are, I don’t care what theologian you are, I don’t care if you’re a doctor of theology, if you’ve got your masters of divinity. If you think you know it all, I’m sorry, you’re wrong.”
“I have stepped into a new awareness of why I’m really here,” he emphasized. “I feel like I just got saved. I feel like I’ve just met Jesus.”
White, a drug addict turned evangelist, said his mission now is to “wake up a sleeping church.”
“I’m very concerned for a large majority of the body of Christ that says that they’ve met Him and yet lives in sin,” he said.
“There are people that are coasting through, there is a large majority of the church that sleeping. They’re not awake, they’re sleeping. We need to wake up. We need to wake up. People are dying. My urgency to share the Gospel, my urgency to reach the lost, my urgency to reach a church that thinks she’s found is so big I can’t even stand it. I can’t even tell you what I feel in my heart.”
According to White, the American Church is “so dysfunctional right now it’s absolutely ridiculous.”
“Dysfunction is thinking that my way is the only way,” the Watauga, Texas-based pastor explained. “But Jesus is the way, the Gospel is the way. When I say I haven’t preached the full Gospel, it just means that God has taken me to a depth of His heart that I have not yet seen, and I want to see more people come to Christ.”
“We should all want to be able to be repentant. Repentance isn’t the day you get saved only. If something’s wrong, you repent. What does that mean? Repentance isn’t just changing your mind. I understand that that’s taught, and it is an about-face, but it’s an about-face with godly intention, with godly sorrow.”
