Jesus: Pure and Simple

When you cannot remember the 22 characteristics of a good wife, the 7 steps to authority, or the 9 ways of love . . .

It’s time to get back to Jesus.

When a speaker insists (yet again) that you need to stop your bad habits, increase your devotion, reduce your worry, augment your faith, or banish your fears . . .

It’s time to get back to Jesus.

When you’re overwhelmed by testimonies of others praying all night, fasting forty days, raising the dead, and leading thousands to the Lord on their airplane rides home . . .

It’s time to get back to Jesus.

When you’ve sat through your one-hundred-and-fifty-millionth sermon about giving more, suffering more, doing more, or being more . . .

It’s time to get back to Jesus.

When you attend another hyped-up conference that promises to be the one that will reduce all your problems, so you buy all the books and CDs and try them out, but nothing is reduced except your savings account . . .

It’s time to get back to Jesus.

When someone points a finger in your face and says, “Thus saith the Lord,” but their advice contradicts someone else who yelled at you a different “Thus saith the Lord,” and it sounds different from yet another “Thus saith the Lord” . . .


It’s time to get back to Jesus.

When your mailbox is flooded with a multitude of letters, newsletters, and giving-requests from a multitude of organizations with three-initial names . . .

It’s time to get back to Jesus.

It is time to hear His voice and simplify. It’s time we get back to Jesus, pure and simple.
