Power, Passion and Purity

The Power of the Word

Listening to a godly man preach the Word from a heart of love is pure worship to me. It draws me closer to the Lord and makes me thankful for all I have in Christ. Sunday, I listened to two great messages from the Word and they truly challenged me. The commitment of godly men to be true to the Word of God is not as easy as it once was.

The Passion of the Heart

People with burning hearts for God refresh our souls. Sharing the message of Christ and influencing the lost to come to Christ should be our passion. Larry Barker (Director of North American Missions) shared that more than 80% of young adults have indicated they would like to try church again in the next three years. Surely we need to be busy directing these who are searching to a Bible believing church.

The Purity of Doctrine

Terms like a traditional church or a non traditional church are tossed around today. Approaches to worship vary from place to place. The purity of the doctrine does not change regardless of the setting. Truth can only be one way. Truth is not a tradition. Truth cannot be adjusted for the times. It is the truth that sets us free. The commitment to keep ourselves pure in our doctrine should be renewed constantly. Do not let someone soft on convictions lead you down a path of compromise. The Word of God will stand and we must stand with it. Know what you believe. Let the Bible verify your convictions.
