The Service of the Cross

January 1, 2022

Today, we can learn from the apostles what sacrificial service is. We can learn to identify with a people that we might reach them with the gospel. From their example, we can see the emptiness of the health and wealth gospel and how it makes selfish and materialistic Christians.

While the health and wealth preachers of today lord it over their flocks with prosperity messages and pressure to give to get, the apostles put on the role of servants and reached out to the people with love and compssion. We need the compassion of Christ and the love of Christ for people.

Today, we need integrity in ministry. The church is weak because much of what it does lacks integrity. Preachers accepting large salaries and making few sacrifices doesn't help. The prosperity preachers proclaim a gospel that is far different than the message Jesus and the apostles preached. All of these things weaken the church. If there is to be a true revival, it needs to come to the church first and this is what we need to pray for.

God has entrusted the gospel to us. We must preach it at all costs. We must boldly preach it. We must preach it with much conviction and power. We must pray for that power to come upon us that men may hear the Word and believe it in mass numbers. That's what happens when revival comes.

Paul could have given up because he faced much difficulty in Philippi. Yet he pressed on to the next place and there took a bold stand for the gospel and found success. God will bless His Word and bless us if we are obedient to His command. We must press on with the gospel in spite of opposition.

There is a coming wrath and there is only one way of escape which is revealed in the gospel and that is through Jesus Christ, the only Savior. We must flee to Him for refuge before it is too late.

True repentance involves leaving our idols behind and following the Lord in our lives. Are we ready to give up our idols in this land? Are we ready to forsake them in order to follow the Lord? Are we going to continue to follow our idols and face the wrath of God for it or will we turn from them back to the God of our forefathers and be blessed? What do we want? God's wrath or God's blessings on this nation?

Today, power point presentations and friendly talks have replaced the powerful preaching of the Word of God in many evangelical churches. The great pulpits of the past have been set aside to make room for the worship team. Yet, have we not lost something vital in doing that? We need to return to the primacy of the word of God being proclaimed from our pulpits with power and great conviction.

The Holy Spirit opens hearts to receive the gospel. When the Holy Spirit comes in power, people start believing the gospel. Conversions take place in large numbers and Christians are renewed in their faith. This is what we need today.

Today, we need a great Spiritual Revival to cover the land. We need a return of the powerful preaching of the Word of God. Nice lectures and power point presentations are not enough. We need great preaching to return to our pulpits. God used the powerful preaching of men like George Whitefield and Asahel Nettleton in times past to bring His message to America. May He raise up men of our day who will preach the Word of God with power and boldness and much conviction.

Paul commended the Thessalonian Christians and thanked God for them continually for their good works produced by faith, their labor in the gospel prompted by love, and their endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. They were enduring in hope. This is what we must do today as God's people. We must endure in hope. We must believe that there is hope for the future not only for ourselves as individual Christians but hope for the church and through its influence hope for the nation as a whole.
