Welcome to Crossroads
Sep 2nd, 2009 by admin
Welcome to the Crossroads corner of the evangelical world. Season’s Greetings !!
As 2011 nears its end, you maybe one of a number of long-time believers who have lost their spiritual passion. If so, indeed please know that you are not alone. The ravages of our downward spiraling,
culture is taking a terrific toll on the Body of Christ.
This web site functions with a single purpose: to provide other earnest, struggling believers with genuine spiritual encouragement. It is an often-unspoken truth: any of us can find ourselves caught up with all-consuming “busyness”or, we can be suddenly enveloped by a seemingly hopeless struggle.
Whatever it is that impedes our experiential faith-life, we need help. And …
There is Good News, better said, WONDERFUL NEWS!!!
Please read on:
As we face a season that should be one of fulfilling spiritual celebration, many faithful, longtime believers are not joy-full. Nancy and I write these words because we are talking frequently with others who are experiencing such a mind set.
From several years of sharing the “spiritual intimacy” message, we have watched the Loving God bring honest, struggling believers to an entirely new sense of joy and peace .
If you are hungry for a deeper spiritual
intimacy;
intimacy;
If you want, more than anything else, a genuine
faith-relationship with Jesus Christ; If you are
seeking “fellow travelers” … you have found
“those of like precious faith"!!

As you read this update, please know that there is a new, nearly silent, but profound work of the Spirit traveling throughout America. Many highly respected authors, preachers, and teachers have sharpened their focus and are making this faith-igniting work known.
Believers of every “tribe and nation “ are discovering a life-changing encounter.
If you sense that your spirit is responding to a brand new desire, i.e., a new yearning, for a fresh faith-reality - we urge you to be open to what Jesus Christ may be doing in you. The Lord may well be bringing you to a new place spiritually. It is often when we reach a point of near desperation that the Lord breaks through in a new way.
Please be reminded of truths that you have known for years: You are personally loved by the Creator God. Above all else, He desires to have an intimate faith-relationship with you. He wants you to know Him as the indwelling One who is ever present and wanting you to enjoy His Presence.
Nancy and I consider ourselves still beginners on this magnificent faith journey, but our intimacy with Jesus Christ continues to rekindle our lives. And we are blessed every time we get the opportunity to share our lives with anyone who connects with us.
Please send us a note. We’d love to hear from you, and you will hear from us.
May His Presence flood you with joy during this festive season !!
"I have told you this so that my joy may ne
in you and that your joy may be complete,"
John 15:11
