Not Enough Lifting Jesus' Name


John 12:32 meme created by me.


We have seen the most recent misgivings in the church lately. It's nothing new. There have been more scandals in the past 15 years; we're looking at another one. I think I may have the solution.


First, I want to look at the problem. The spirit of pride has taken the spirit of humility's place. It's not that the Spirit of the Lord is weak. It's because of the choices some of us have made.

There has been too much lifting of self instead of lifting the name of Jesus. The problem is there is not enough lifting Jesus' name.


"And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself." - John 12:32

We have been caught lifting our own names, accomplishments, and agendas instead of lifting the name of Jesus. We have been lifting too much junk from God's sacred pulpit. The only thing people should hear is Jesus and Him being crucified!


For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. - 1 Corinthians 2:2

The people who are lost don't need to hear about how we've prospered, been hurt, lied on, talked about, cheated, and mistreated. They need to hear about how Jesus was broken, lied on, talked about, cheated, and mistreated so we could be saved from our sins including the pride that has settled in. Let us lift the name of Jesus so He can draw all of these lost souls unto Himself.


Father. Please help me to be complete in glorifying your name. I repent if I have exalted myself when I should've been lifting your name. I can't save anybody, but You can save to the utmost. Thank you. Amen.
