However, there was a time when the Romans crucified men all the way from one city to the next, on either side of the road. Thousands were crucified for the name of the Lord. We need to let the timeless power of Christ's cross work its death in us that we might live to God. May it be a permanent barrier between us and the world. In View I believe that the Church is in some serious trouble today.
Great movements are in trouble.
Great men whom the body of Christ has looked to for many years are in trouble, having suddenly fallen into sin. For many of these men, I believe somewhere along the way the cross became obscured. Their prayer life began to fall by the wayside. Other things became more important and occupied their time. The light of the cross slowly dimmed and somehow that umbilical cord to the world attached itself again.
