May We Remember the Finished Work of Calvary

May We Remember the Finished Work of Calvary
By Rev.  Lonnie C. Crowe

William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, spoke a prophetic word more than 100 years ago, that should call the church today into repentance. He said, “The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance,
salvation without regeneration, politics without God, heaven without hell.” 

It is time for the resurrection of the Church.  May we never forget that it is the power of the Holy Spirit that raised Christ from the dead, convicts us of sin and brings us to the cross for salvation.  May we never forget that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life.  May we always remember that in salvation we are transformed by the renewing of our minds and that we are called to be holy because He is holy.  May the church awaken to the understanding that politics without Godly principles leads to deception and anarchy.  May we fully embrace the fact that Jesus paid, in agony, our wages of sin so that we may be delivered from the clutches of Hell into the hallowed halls of Heaven.

“Jesus, keep us near the cross.  There a precious fountain free to all, a healing stream flows from Calvary’s mountain.”  (Fanny Crosby)
