Together, we are part of a network of participatory fellowships we helped start - where the life of Christ is expressed in us, among us and then through us in all spheres of life to a waiting world. Our blogs come out of that community of believers.
According to the internet tracking service Networked Blogs,
Crossroad Junction is among the top 50 Christian blogs worldwide, and among the top 50 in the separate categories of "faith" and also "culture".
We’ve had some wolves try to creep in on the believers in D Pod…trying to teach such things as the Godhead being three separate “gods”, salvation being of works, and that to be a man we need to look to worldly ideas and support one another in ways such that we can “unpack our emotional baggage” with each other rather than leave our bags as they are before the mercy seat. Satan’s emissaries weren’t quite prepared for what they were getting themselves into there, though. Please be in prayer for continued discernment for the believers there, that they would remain strong against the increasing attacks of the devil.
