The Strait and Narrow

In the  Crusades of the middle ages 1095-1099 the western pope called for an holy war to free the holy land of Jerusalem from the Muslims. This call would be placed to any one who would accept mostly barbarians and low life’s because the pope was giving indulgences for their last sin. This would be the 1^st of 4 crusades to Jerusalem.  In these so called holy crusades any one not professing to be Christian would be killed as a heathen along with any destruction or pillage of the lands before getting to the holy land.  As in the 1^st crusades most all were not disciples of Christ, but Christian by name only.  Even today we have many that say their Christians, but by name only. 

“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in they name? And then will I profess unto them I never knew you:”(Matt:9.22)    

These crusades would be the beginning of the end this age will be called the Dark ages” Where lawlessness abounded. and the Church would have political  corruptions. Out of this came the Reformation were people like Martin Luther spoke up and reformed the church.   Today we are in a time where the truth is not wanted, where even the gay community has their own bible that tells them they are ok and takes out any words that says difference.   It not enough to say you are a Christian, but we much show forth the fruit of repentance. Unlike the Crusaders where the pope give allowances to kill for the cause, we may not kill, but the church allows for unrepentant souls to be called Christians.  It time again to stand for the truth. Jesus is the salvation of the world let us spread the good news.
