VISION

WAKE CROSS ROADS BAPTIST CHURCH STUDENT MINISTRY

We seek to assist in raising up true followers of Jesus Christ This is done through small group bible studies, large group teaching, service to our church, service to our community, fellow-shipping, one and one discipleship, and the sharing of our common faith in Jesus Christ. We strive to stress the importance of the local church and the importance of the students involvement in it. Students are not the church of tomorrow, but the church of TODAY! Nothing in this world compares to the glory of God!

What is Man?

What is man...that He(The Almighty Lord) would show gracious favor. Yet we continue in the societal normality of the fear of Man. We should fear God...beginning with a terrifying fear, for we are an unclean people with a floating, ever-present anxiety. This initial fear shifts after faith in Christ to a terrifying"reverent submission that leads to obedience"(Ed Welch). Our heart, the world, and the devil are tools to lead us further from the proper fear of God, and closer to the improper fear of man. More specifically, the root is found in our own hearts, but is influenced by the latter. SO...the continual striving for a fear of the Lord is a path of intentional warfare. Praise God that we have been equipped with the necessary tools...the Word, the Spirit, and the Body. For the Devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking to devour, but resist him, firm in your faith...He Himself will return and will perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. Press on with sober minds and humble hearts and be encouraged. What is man, nothing without Christ!
