you didnt really read what i said. FEW actually go out and tell the lost , let alone preach the Gospel. few churches that do that today and that is why they are closing. i figured to say that in a short sentence it would be known.Without the message of the Cross preached (Christ Crucified- the gospel) there is no power to get saved. Because the POWER IS IN THE CROSS. Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. In other words the Holy Spirit will move on people to get saved, healing takes place, needs are met, and so much more. Without Christ Crucified peached, Christian will remain in bondage.
Luke 4:18
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
Notice what Jesus said: He said this message must be preached! He did not say lay hand on them, but preach!
how is it that in america and the west, few churches are gaining souls, sin abounds and gays are accepted and the churches abandoned the faith that they once held?
