House Church Talk - Purpose Driven?

[Adamkwyhmed at aol.com]

The True purpose that the church should be driven by is in the personage of  
Jesus Christ.  If the church is following the world to save it, it becomes  
lost.  And if the world is following the church, that is following the  world, 
it is lost, because it does not have Life to give it.  However if  the church 
is following Jesus Christ, than the church becomes sustained by His  Life.  And 
by being sustained by His Life, the Church can show the True  Light to the 
world.  The world is looking for that Real Light that only  comes from the 
Creator who made heaven and earth.  If the world starts to  follow the Church, that 
is following the Lord Jesus Christ, it still cannot be  saved.  It is when 
the Church redirects those in the world, that seek the  True Light and Life, to 
the person of Jesus Christ,(when they have a personal  relationship), than the 
world can be saved.  Our job as the Church, in  evangelism, is to point all 
people to Jesus Christ.  The cross itself does  not save.  It is the One who 
died on the cross that saves.  In living  we are to be ambassadors for the Lord 
Jesus Christ.  Jesus Christ said of  Himself, that "I am the way, the truth, 
and the life.  No man comes unto  the father, except by me"
The Truth is established in Holy writ, certified by the Holy Spirit.   The 
only problem is that some people, who do not want to accept Bible  as truth, and 
because they don't want to know the truth because it reveals their  
sins,(makes sins come to light), they deceive other people into believing that  the 
Bible is a lie.
Pray for those people who deceive others into believing that the Bible is a  
lie.  Pray for their salvation.  For it is written in the  scriptures-"God is 
not willing that anyone should perish, but that all should  come to repentance 
through Jesus Christ our Lord".  For the end of those  people, who choose not 
to believe, and are deceived, is written in the very  pages of what they have 
chosen to reject.
