Jesus Must Be Lifted Up

Jesus Must Be Lifted Up! Too many churches are in a “compromising” situation. And have brought shame to God’s message of salvation. As many struggle to have their plan to reach the lost. They’ve often compromised the message of the cross! Many come as they are but go home just the same. Often bringing dishonor to the glory of Jesus’ name! Holiness preaching is often replaced and discarded. Many want a “fun” time before the service is started. Jesus said; “If I’m lifted up, I’ll draw all unto me!” This is a simple truth that many in church fail to see! As many attempt to bring Christ to their own level. They’re being led astray and tricked by the devil. The message of the cross isn’t a compromising situation. It’s about Jesus’ death and his plan for salvation! His death on the cross displayed his love and righteousness. It was required of a God who demands a life of holiness! It’s time to wake up church! And be bound by a godly desire! In everything that’s done, to lift Jesus’ name up higher! His way, word and holiness, must be preached on! It’s in Christ, and him alone, that we must depend on! Let’s repent, confess and let Christ take care of the rest! This is the godly way for his body to truly be blessed! As his body, let’s come together in one purpose and mind… And not compromise God’s word in reaching mankind! By Jim Pemberton 01/26/15
