At a CROSSroads

The singing group No Other Name led us in worship this past Sunday evening. Yeah I know it was listed as a concert but they did more than perform a few songs. Laura, Sam, and Chad, the members of No Other Name, led us in worship. I so enjoy being in worship with those guys.

One of my favorite songs they do is Lead You To the Cross. The lyrics tell the story of the high calling that each Christian has to point others to the cross of Christ. In a statement the goal of every Christian should be to lead others to Christ. We do that by picking up our cross and carrying it each day. The story of our life, the only task before us is to point others to the living Lord and Savior.

The truth is we are not the answer for the worlds needs. We don't have anything to offer the world and those who live in it. But we are able by the life we live to point others to the ANSWER. We are not the bread of life but we know Him. We are not the living water but we know Him. We did not die on the cross for the sin of the world but we know the One who did.

Quite simply...are you leading others to the cross by the life you live? Are you really willing to be all things to all men that by all means you might save some? Do you know why I strongly support the cause of global missions? Because in my lifetime I want to lead as many people as possible to the cross. Period!

Carrying the Cross of Christ,
Pastor Shannon
