Abiding in the Vine

In Matthew 5, 6, and 7, Christ preached the greatest oration on earth, the Sermon on the Mount. In it, He said that Christians are like salt to the earth. Salt burns, and cleanses, and preserves. Likewise, when the body of Christ is holy, God puts those around us under deep conviction.

On earth are multitudes of sinners lost and undone. In heaven is mercy enough to cover a multitude of sins! But what is between the two? What means does God use to communicate the mercy-filled Good News? Were only prophets and apostles part of His plan to reach the world?

Acknowledging Jesus Christ as God the Creator, God the Savior, and God the coming Judge, is much more than merely believing in Him. Evangelist Keith Daniel uses Scripture to confront heresy and to warn of the dangers that threaten our faith in the “enlightened” 21st-century Church.

Many verses compel us to seek the Lord. Presumably, it's something I should and can do all the time. What then does Isaiah mean by that added phrase: "Seek ye the Lord while He may be found" (Isaiah 55:6)? Could it be that I'm not as in control of my life and my time as I think?
