THE CROSS OF CHRIST BE EMPTIED OF ITS POWER!

"Is CHRIST divided?"  (1 Corinthians 1:13).   Do we go to Church because we have a Great Preacher?  Do we listen to T.V. evangelists because of their "non-convicting eloquence" of speech?  In fact, do we identify with the Messenger and not THE MESSAGE?  Have we become so divided through our allegiance to different Preachers and Denominations that we have made CHRISTIANITY INEFFECTIVE?  Did the Preacher or Denominations DIE ON THE CROSS FOR US?  The evil-one cannot take away our Salvation or our Eternity in Heaven for what JESUS did on the CROSS, but when we believe or choose his GUILT AND LIES  we are rendered INEFFECTIVE.  Is somehow, the evil-one, through ELOQUENCE AND DENOMINATIONS trying to DESTROY CHRISTIANITY?  Are we sent to "preach the Gospel", but not with words of ELOQUENT WISDOM, lest THE CROSS OF CHRIST BE EMPTIED OF  ITS POWER"!
