The Message of the Cross

The only solution for sin, the only answer to sin, is the Cross of Christ!

The Cross of Christ is the foundation principle of all Bibical Doctrine. It is the foundation because it is the first principle of Redemption, brought about in the Mind of God even before the foundation of the world (1 Pet. 1:18-20). This means that every single doctrine must be built on the foundation of Christ and the Cross, or else, in some way, it will be spurious. And that's the problem with the modern Church; in many cases it is building doctrines on other foundation.

Requirement for Salvation: Romans 10:9-10 9)"That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead you shall be saved. 10)For with the heart man believes unto Righteousiness and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation".

Say outloud this prayer: Lord Jesus I am a sinner, please forgive me and cleanse me from all my sin. I am sorry please come into my heart as Lord and Savior and save me. In Jesus Name I pray. Thank you Jesus right now I am saved.

Let us know if you prayed that prayer and accepted Christ.

The Enemy of the People

Sound familiar? "Spin control" has become a daily task for White House staff and political news-makers.

We shouldn't be surprised. The Bible says; "the whole world is under the control of the evil one," and he has always despised God and His people. As our culture shifts to the global paradigm, political and educational "change agents" are turning biblical values upside down. From this new paradigm perspective, Christians look like radicals who oppose tolerance, unity and "academic freedom." They would silence our voices and purge our beliefs that block "progress" toward the 21st Century global village.

Throughout history, Satan has used government leaders to persecute Christians and Jews. In fact, "If they persecuted Me," said Jesus, "they will also persecute you... because they do not know the One who sent Me." (John 15:20-21)

Today, only compromised, “Cross-less Christianity" that blends with all the other spiritual paths to "ultimate reality" is acceptable to America's new paradigm leaders. Shame on Pastor’s all across our nation who is preaching this false Cross-less Christianity. God forbid! Step aside an allow those who would preach Jesus and Him crucified saying to the Devil and Government “Thus Saith the Lord God”.

TRUTH

"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6

"...the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil....

But he who does the truth comes to the light." John 3:19-21

"Jesus answered, 'My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.'
      "Pilate therefore said to Him, 'Are You a king then?'
      "Jesus answered, 'You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.'
      "Pilate said to Him, 'What is truth?'" John 18:36-38

What is this scripture talking about? First of all it no ways denies His Kingdom but does claim the origin of His Kingdom and Kingship are not of this world. However, in the future it will be of this world. The world is asking the same question today as Pilate “What is truth’? The reality is that those who sincerely desire Truth will know Christ, i.e., hear His Voice. Amen!
