Is the Church relevant?

When I take a look at the Church of Jesus Christ in this day and hour I have to wonder if she is truly relevant to the culture we live in today.  It seems that so many people believe that the Church doesn't have anything to offer and what she does offer does not stand out to where people are being drawn to her.  The world and the people in it are looking for authentic Christians.  People who are committed to Christ and are willing to live as if He truly is alive.  Yet in many churches God appears to be dead and nothing more than a ritualistic form of worship to appease those who consciences demand something to soothe it.  The Church needs to get back to Bible basics which is the reading and preaching the word of God, prayer and real heartfelt worship.  Don't try to appease men for what you believe they want to hear and see but present Christ as whom He really is a living Savior who wants to interact with men and changes their destinies.  After all  I am convinced that when Christ is lifted up and exalted for who He truly is men will want to know Him.  Church let us focus on Him and move beyond trying to please everyone.  For God has called us to be a lover of Him and not of this world.  Let us come out from amongst it and let our light shine in the darkness so that hope may be presented to a dying world in need of His saving grace. 

Whom do you Belong To?

As the end of time as we know it draws closer and closer to an end the difference between light and darkness also narrows. I believe that twenty years ago one could have lived as close to the world as wanted to and the odds were that you could slip into heaven because the seriousness that now exists in this hour was not as great then. As we move through the days and months to come I truly believe that those who are in darkness will fade away and those who truly want to serve Christ will grow brighter, thus eliminating the gap between the two sides.

I believe that the hour has come when those who will serve Christ must make that decision now for the door is closing rapidly. If you tend to like the darkness and favor it as a way of life you are serving the one who opposes the Lord of the Universe and he is your adversary. Satan wants you to believe that you have all the time in the world to make the decision for Christ, but I must caution you that you can't wait. No man is promised tomorrow. The hour is now and His saving grace is available to you. Christ talked about a time when there will be an hour when no man can work because the darkness is to great. Don't wait any longer. Get into the Door, which is Christ.

Don't sit and believe that just because you are attending church on Sunday that you are safe. Seek His face and His word. Develop a relationship with the One who died for you. Religion will not save you, but a relationship with Jesus Christ will. This a time to be fanatical for Christ. Don't let your fire of desire for Him die out.

Their is a song that I believe will encourage you on your walk of faith and I am enclosing a link for you watch. Make your choice today on whom you are serving. I suggest that you choose wisely.
