Preaching Christ Crucified
From the pastor's desk....
Good morning friends and family.Praise the Lord for His goodness to man and His everlasting mercy and grace,to those who willingly receive it through faith....Amen!
Acts 4:10-12 says,"Be it known unto you all,and to all the people of Israel,that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,whom ye crucified,whom God raised from the dead,even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole.This is the Stone which was set at nought of you builders,which is become the Head of the corner.Neither is there salvation in any other:for there is none other name under heaven,given among men,whereby we must be saved." (KJV)
This says it in a nutshell.There has never been given,nor will there ever be given,any other name for salvation,than the name of Jesus Christ.Coupled with the verse in John 14:6,that Jesus uttered Himself,we have no hope of salvation apart from Christ.
It cannot be obtained by any Protestant denomination,nor by Roman Catholicism.It cannot be achieved through positive confession principles,or positive mental attitude.It cannot be acquired through New Age or New Thought principles.It cannot be obtained by Numerology or Dianetics or Scientology,Zoroastrianism,Buddhism,Hinduism,Communism,Socialism or any other "ism" that you can think of.It cannot even be obtained through psycho-analysis or psychology.There is only one way,and all who hope to be saved must travel the same narrow path to receive it.
The road to salvation has an impassible chasm in it,and there is only one Bridge that can cross it's bottomless gorge.That Bridge is Jesus Christ.Why must man insist there be more than one way! How many ways does a person need? My question to those who want to have more than one way is this:What is wrong with The Way that God has provided? Is it because it's too narrow? It's wide enough for anyone who wishes to cross it! Is it because others,such as Hollywood stars and well know talk show hosts,think there should be more than one way? Is it because we want to get to God our way? Yes,this is exactly the issue man faces.Man will not humble himself to the point of confessing to God that they have violated His Holy Commandments in every way possible.Every human born into existence has at some point,broken God's laws in thought,word or deed.This is the chasm,if you will,that is in the road.Man wants to try and repair the problem without going through Jesus Christ.We want to do it our way! You should know that the anthem of Hell is "I Did It My Way".God has given us the Prefect Way,His Son.There will never be any other way......Consider the road you are on,if it doesn't have the Bridge of Jesus Christ spanning the chasm,you will fall headlong into the chasm and be lost.This may seem blunt to some but it is the truth.I love you all,may God richly bless you......John.
