A Simple Message

The following message was inspired by Pastor Raburne Wilson

A Simple Message:
We need a simple message for the church today, not because the church is simple.  In fact the church is too complicated.  We need a simple message to get to the bottom line.  World religions follow complicated ceremonies in order to get to God.  The more religious leaders, the more complicated the message.  The Pharisees gave a complicated message and that is why they didn't like Jesus.

John 7:37    On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.

Romans 10:13    For "WHOEVER CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED."

Romans 10:13 should be the message of the church today.

"WHOEVER"!  That includes all.  They ALL fit under the Gospel blanket.  No matter where we go there is a "who so ever" there!  Salvation is for these people only.

Matthew 11:28    Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

"CALLS ON THE LORD": all (who so ever) can call on The Lord!  People under stress can call, children can call, all races can call, all sinners can call, a thief on the cross can call.

"SHALL BE SAVED": there isn't a contract more binding than this scripture.  The scripture itself bears witness - ALL SHALL BE SAVED WHO CALL UPON THE LORD!

Saved from what?  The penalty / price of sin.

Romans 6:23    For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

No matter where you are you are ONE CALL away.  You can be in Your House, the School House, the Jail House or the White House and be just one call away!

For "WHOEVER CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED."

Make the call!!!

Blessings
