Why Crossroads?

6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where [is] the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [therein].
Jeremiah 6:16 KJV 18:15 Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways [from] the ancient paths, to walk in paths, [in] a way not cast up; Jeremiah 18:15 KJV
I was asked why I chose the name "Crossroads" for a church and I tried to figure out why and I couldn't.
For God had chose it and sent the Holy Spirit to tell me that this would be my future.
I choose to follow the path that leads to Jesus Christ, though many seek it and few will find it and straight is the gate and narrow is the way to life, but with his assistance, I will make it in.
For when I stumble he picks me up and dust me off and he puts me on the straightway once again.
America needs to get back on the right path and seek after God once more , he is there to be found.
You can read the bible and watch headline news and see things takings shape.
To me CROSSroads means a choice , Jesus made a choice to die for us , now we need to choose to live for him.
I hope and pray that when the actual building does come into existence that choices will be made for the right path.
If anybody has the same vision as me let me know and maybe we can work together from the starting point and with God's blessing make a positive impact on our area and maybe beyond.
Remember it is all about the Cross and the choice you make.
In these verses the word path is used , but in the Jewish bible it is called the crossroads which makes sense to me.
When I was younger I used to prefer going riding in the countryside more than cruising the malls. One, because I love nature and two I always found peace there.
It never fails , you always come to a place to where you have to decide which way to go, straight , left , right or back the way you came.
All four ways could lead to something wonderful or all four could lead to something awful.
If you left something awful then you only have three choice left.
In life it is the same way you have to choose the direction at the crossroads that you want to go. Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] |
