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.

Losing Our Freedom

The following is a quote from (William Penn) “Those who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants.”

Let me ask you - What does the word "freedom" mean in the context of today's corrupt culture? I contend it is: Amoral license? It is: Liberty to follow feelings rather than facts? It is: A ban on Christian expressions of faith? It is: Mandatory "tolerance" for homosexual lifestyles?

Listen: To conform young minds to the vision of global solidarity, pluralism must replace God's unchanging Truth. So some seventh grade World History text books promote Islam and demean Christianity. Social Studies are used to "normalize homosexuality." And propaganda for "social justice" seems more acceptable than loyalty to our sovereign God – sadly even in churches! As God warned us long ago, "...when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them... when your heart is lifted up and you forget the Lord your God. ... Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the Lord your God, and follow other gods... you shall surely perish." (Deuteronomy 8:12-14, 17-19)

Sad but few heed such warnings in these times of cultural "Christianity." No wonder we are losing the God-given freedom that helped make America a strong and moral nation.
