Author Description

This book is written for anyone who wants to follow the instruction of Jesus Christ to "go and make disciples of all nations." It is written for church leaders, teachers, and all who want to know what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, and how to make a disciple of Jesus Christ.A "lukewarm" church (Revelation 3:16) is a church that has abandoned the message of the cross. The cross is no longer the central part of sermons and teachings, which has left Jesus on the outside with the door closed, knocking, and waiting. The cross is the message of power (Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 1:18), and if it's lost its place of "first importance" (1 Corinthians 15:3) in the church, the very foundation of the church is compromised. If we invite others to fill its place, "good speakers" and "good programs," we close the church's door to the One who purchased her with His precious blood."He who overcomes [the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God], I will grant to him [the privilege] to sit beside Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down beside My Father on His throne."??Revelation? ?3:21? ?AMP??In Revelation 3:21, the promise to the overcoming church is connected to the power of the gospel. Jesus died on the cross and overcame death through resurrection power, then ascended to the Father, was accepted, and seated on His throne. Our overcoming of the world, the flesh, and the devil is tied to the ongoing hearing of this message.Oh, friend, may the church worldwide return wholeheartedly to the message of the cross that we might see many people die to sin and rise with Jesus to new life. This study is an invitation to open the door to Jesus, through returning to the message of the cross, that we might experience wonderful and intimate fellowship with Him.
