Greetings and blessings to all of you. Many people are spiritually lost due to the sinful preoccupations of this world, and they can’t find their way to the Father’s house unless we the church sweep through the world seeking to share truths to them. The world is a mess. People in power make decisions we do not agree with. Confusion, lies, distortion of truth injures the innocent. Such as affirming transgenderism beginning in kindergarten classes…when God clearly told us in Mark 9:42 “But whoever causes one of the little ones who believe in Me to stumble. It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.” Our world is currently looking like an out -of -control spinning top, without rhyme or reason but to the thinking person we know there is a plan in the making called the One World Order. ..a copycat of the Tower of Babel that failed as told in Genesis 11:4. Christians know as stated in Romans 6:12 “for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against rulers of the darkness of this age against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” But we hold to this in Mat. 16:18 “I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.” Christians all over the world have a contentious world to deal with. We cannot keep asking; Is it safe? Is it convenient? Will they like me? Romans 8:28 is true. “We know that for those who love God all things work together for good”; however do we know the Great Commission as stated in Matthew 28:16-20 “ Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that have commanded you and lo I am with you always even to the end of this age.” The spiraling downward as in Romans 1:18-32 has occurred in our culture and we are now dealing with the “the reprobated mind.” Will we act as the salt and light in a dying world? Will we reverse the going trends that are keeping the followers of evangelical churches/pastors popular because they have succeeded in eliminating every offense from the true message of the Bible? Will we continue to live our own lives and watch the world go by without getting involved in their confused lives? Are we avoiding people because the topics of today are controversial like Jesus is the Only Way? Let’s begin praying….”Holy Spirit show me who needs my presence in their life today.”
With the Love of Christ
