Calvary's Cross Ministries
Preaching Christ Crucified
From the Pastor's desk...
Good morning to all in the name of Jesus,name above all names.
Continuing from earlier on the Apostasy that is upon us.In Acts 20:28-30,Paul gives us a solemn warning that as soon as he would depart,savage wolves would come in from the outside (outside of Christianity is the implication) to destroy the flock.He also ...stated that from within the church men would rise up speaking perverse things to draw away disciples for themselves.
This perversity that he is talking about,when you boil it all down,is a departure from the belief that Jesus Christ is the ONLY way of salvation.Bottom line is,if they can pervert the gospel of Christ,which is the message of the cross,Christ and Him crucified for our sins,then nothing else will matter.This is the crux of Christianity,the bedrock of the true faith.The death,burial and resurrection of Christ is the foundation of true Biblical Christianity.All other doctrines and teachings should be founded on this central truth.If they are not,then run from it like you would run from the plague.
The Holy Spirit expressly warned us in I Tim.4:1 through Paul,that in the last days some will depart from the faith and give themselves over to demonic doctrines and deceiving spirits,sent out by Satan to draw away men from the truth.It is my contention that if Satan can deceive men and lead them away from the central truth of the redeeming work of Christ,and get them to deny it or forsake it,then he will have succeeded,in some part,to destroy men's faith.Jesus Christ will continue to build His church upon His work at Calvary and the gates of Hell will never be successful in destroying it.Satan is a defeated foe,redemption is secure in Christ,there's nothing he (Satan) can do about it,the work is finished,Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father,thereby signifying and end to the work of redemption.All we are waiting for now is the consummation of all things at the end.
Please my friends and loved ones,stay faithful to Christ and His redeeming work at the Cross.The Scriptures tell us in I Cor.1:18 that the preaching of the cross is to those who are perishing,foolishness.But to those who are being saved,it is the Power of God.
We can only remain in Christ as long as we remain in the faith of His redeeming work.....Until tomorrow......love in Christ....J.W.
