Only The Cross Ministries

Only The Cross Ministries We believe that Jesus died for whatever we need. His blood purchased everything we will ever need.

We believe Jesus and what He did on the cross not only saves those who ask from sin, but gives them the means to live a victorious life as well.

I saw a post today saying pain tolerance is higher in people who observe nature. I can testify to that at least being partially true. I have been an avid observer of nature since my youth. That has sprouted into bird watching and a green thumb. In the past, healthcare professionals have been surprised by my high level of pain tolerance during birth and other health situations. However, I don't believe scientists know why that is the case as much as I do. As a child, I was taught that nature praised God. So, when observing the trees waving in the wind, I imagined their delight in their Creator. When birds would sing, I imagined their joy in songs to Him. Praising Jesus is my delight as well. All of my grief, sickness, pain, or suffering is made small in that moment. So, next time you hear a bird singing or see that flower shining in the sun, think of their joy in bringing a glimmer of His glory to your observation.
Psalm 96:11-12:
"Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that filleth it. Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice."
Psalm 19:1-2:
"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge."
Revelation 4:11
"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
Psalm 148:2-7:
"Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights. Praise him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. Praise him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. I will praise the Lord while I live: I will sing praises to my God while I have my being."

I learned the hard way. Before my husband and I had children, we gave up everything so I could pursue ministry like I thought I should. We endured what we thought was "our cross to bear" in order to stand for what we believed. We let religion slap us in the face so to speak. Sound familiar?

2 Corinthians 11:20 For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bo***ge, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.

We finally both came to a place where we asked God what the truth was. He showed us that religion is not Jesus. That's a simple concept. Religion is another "Jesus" wrapped in a white robe to look righteous when it is actually taking Jesus out of the picture and putting in self works.

2 Corinthians 11:3-4 (KJV)

3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

The same problems they had then are still going on today. Going to church, reading the bible, dressing a certain way, etc. will not get a person to heaven. It also will not make an already saved person more righteous. God doesn't sit up in heaven checking off a mark by your name when you "do" something to show how righteous you are. The name of the book in heaven is called "The Lamb's Book of Life". The reason being is because the blood of the Lamb is the only way to heaven. If you frustrate the grace of God with your "doing", you risk falling from Grace.

Galatians 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Galatians 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

Be wise my friends. Know the scriptures. Read the bible because you want to know God, not because you have to. You are never too young or too old to know God for yourself. I first knew God when I was a child, but it was soon clouded by works. Thankfully, I still sought to know who He was though His Word. He later helped me understand what it meant. Seek to know the Person that saves you by His blood. Read the bible and find out Who He really is. Don't believe anyone. Search it out for yourself. It's easier to believe the truth than it is to be burdened with works.

Matthew 11:28-30 (KJV)
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Get yourself a concordance and find out what the bible means in the language God chose to write it in. There had to be a reason why it was written in the language He chose. God doesn't do anything by mistake.

I hope everyone will take the opportunity to enjoy the upcoming eclipse instead of listening to the conspiracy theories. Remember the scripture and have no fear.

Matthew 24: 35-36 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Enjoy His handywork.

Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

"And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth." This passage comes from the book of Revelation in the bible. (Rev. 5:6). The passages just before and after this, beginning in chapter 4 and continuing afterwards, are some of the passages in the bible that explain the one thing that God honors - the sacrifice. That's why we must, by faith, place our hopes on the sacrifice of Christ and nothing else. The Christian walk is an experience born of faith in that work. It is this and nothing else.
