The Consider Christ website has received a little 'facelift.'
The front page has been altered to include some clips from our outreach DVD.
Those who access the site will find some video as the stepping stone into the rest of the articles.
Why Did Jesus Die? Rev Ian Brown from Consider Christ on Vimeo.
There are multitudes of baptized men and women who profess to honour Christ, but in reality do Him great dishonour.
They give Christ a certain place in their system of religion, but not the place which God intended Him to fill.
Christ alone is not “all in all” to their souls.
No!
It is either Christ and the Church, or Christ and the sacraments, or Christ and His ordained ministers, or Christ and their own repentance, or Christ and their own goodness, or Christ and their own prayers, or Christ and their own sincerity and charity, on which they practically rest their souls.
If any reader of this paper is a Christian of this kind, I warn him also plainly, that his religion is an offence to God. You are changing God’s plan of salvation into a plan of your own devising. You are in effect deposing Christ from His throne, by giving the glory due to Him to another.

"Hello Ian. Just letting you know I'm nearly there.
I've had one person okay it already but I'm waiting on a second opinion
from a man who does Gospel translations at times.
I want to be sure that it sounds natural in all the dialect regions.
The Lord bless, U.K.."

"The work of the preacher resembles that of the sower.
Like the sower, the preacher must sow good seed, if he wants to see fruit. He must sow the pure word of God, and not the traditions of the church, or the doctrines of men.
Without this, his labour will be in vain. He may go to and fro, and seem to say much, and to work much in his weekly round of ministerial duty. But there will be no harvest of souls for heaven, no living results, and no conversions."
