"For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." 1 Corinthians 1:17-18

The Cross of Jesus Christ is much more than a doctrinal statement of belief. It is more than an elegant message spoken by a convincing and wise man. The Cross of Jesus Christ is the power of God! It is the power that fowls the plans of Hell! It is the power that redeems the worst of sinners! It is the power of God that brings hope to the hopeless! It brings deliverance to the captive! It heals the lame! It brings sight to the blind! The Cross of Jesus Christ has not brought condemnation but salvation to all whom will believe! It was the Cross of Christ that turned to Apostle Paul form a persecutor of the Church to a builder of the Church. It is the power that turns men and women around the world into children of the Most High. It destroys the works of darkness in our lives! Daily it brings the Light of God to a lost and dying world! Whatever challenges this new year may bring we can and will be victorious by the Cross of Christ!

"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." John 16:33
