another gospel

This came from an elder at my [former] church:

Dear brothers and sisters in the Lord,
Good morning to you as the rain falls at my house.  What a blessing from our Lord!  He showers us with both physical and spiritual blessings by His marvelous grace.
I was reading in 2 Cor 11 this morning regarding Paul's concern for the Corinthians.  He was concerned that they might turn away from the true gospel and that their minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.   Paul was afraid that if someone came to them preaching another Jesus or a different gospel, they might put up with it.
As I look at my own attitudes and talk with other believers, I am afraid Paul's letter is as appropriate today as the day he wrote it.  How relevant is God's word to us!
We all know there is another Jesus and another gospel being preached all around us.  Every day we all come in contact with those who have believed and even preach a false gospel.  Just recently I was sharing the gospel with one of my patients who said he believed that if he just followed the principles of the Bible, he would be OK in the end.  That is the same lie that Satan has always fostered; that we can make it to heaven on our own efforts, that we don't need the good news of the gospel.  Most of our world believes exactly what my patient believes; that human goodness and self-effort will earn God's favor.
Beloved, that is another gospel and we, like the Corinthians, too often put up with it.  That is, we are silent when we hear that other gospel, that other Jesus, being preached.  We too often fail to speak up with the true gospel, the true Jesus, the power of the Spirit. 
Let us pray for each other that the Holy Spirit would strengthen our hearts and minds to be bold in proclaiming the true Jesus, who alone has the power to save and in whom we must trust.
We are called to battle that other Jesus.
