MESSAGE TO THE CHURCH

By:  Brenda Alexander
May 4, 2017

To all pastors, associate pastors, teachers, anyone in the church and to every born-again Christian...

We must stop being silent or whispering, especially for fear of offending this world.  We have become a very politically correct church and we are scared to say the name Christ Jesus in public for fear of being ridiculed, mocked or even persecuted.  Of course if you use His Name in vain, the world loves you but say "Jesus Christ is Lord," you will be laughed at and some may be physically attacked.  Atheists are the angriest people I've ever met.

I use to be that way but I am not ashamed of Christ Jesus.  I don't care what this world thinks.  I just praise the Lord that He found me worthy of being hated for His Name's sake.  Remember, He told us that the world  would hate us because it first hated Him.  He also said if you're ashamed of Him, He will be ashamed of you to the Father.  There's things we can agree to disagree on such as the "timing" of the rapture because there will be one.  We can agree to disagree on the age of the earth.  We don't have to interpret Jeremiah 4:8 perfectly.  However, if you don't have the Gospel of Salvation just right, if you add or take away, you may have a problem.  If you don't believe Jesus is God, neither did the Pharisees and they crucified Jesus Christ.

We have 3 things we MUST do...love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.  Love others as yourself and spread the Gospel to the world.  He died for us, yet that's all He asks.  So decide, are you going to be silent or roar like a lion?  We are living in very perilous times.  Are we in the end?  I don't know but I feel as if we are.  Roar like a lion but with love and never be ashamed of Jesus Christ.  God bless and spread the Gospel of Christ Jesus in First Corinthians 15:1-11.  Much love in Christ Jesus!
