The Heat Is On
The current state of affairs on the world scene are disturbing. Governments are unstable, strong leaders are scarce and if a leader is strong, they are usually not leading the country in a direction that is healthy.More and more the conditions are becoming ripe for a strong leader to arise on the world scene and present an appearance of having answers that will answer the increasing instability in the world.
Although it is clear from scripture that this type of man will arise, few Christians expected the conditions to come in their lifetime. As we observe the increasing tensions what should be the Christian's posture.
Many have been taught that the Church will not be here during the events that are describe in scripture as surrounding the rise and propagation of One World Government. As it seems to be be becoming a greater possibility in our lifetime, how should we then live.
In the above illustration the caption on the original picture was "The 4th Man In The Fire". There is a principle of God illustrated by both the caption and the illustration.
God does not always deliver his people from difficulties, but he does always walk with them in the heat of the problem.
This principle is illustrated over and over in scripture. We have not the time to illustrate with Noah, Lot, Joseph, David, Jeremiah, Daniel and our current illustration, the Three Hebrew Children. Bringing that down to the Christians of today we have those who are currently be tortured for their faith as well as the multiple historic accounts of hundreds of thousands who have given their lives for Jesus.
How do we judge what is happening today? Is it possible to know what is about the hit the world stage and what things are part of the enemies design, and what things are part of God's response to the enemies plans.
I believe it is possible and in the blogs to come am going to begin to lay out principles that I believe govern the conduct of God for, in and through His Church in the days to come. We are approaching the greatest days this world and the church has ever known. As best I can, I want to share with you some of my perceptions of what is about to come and God's triumphant expression through His people.
Stay Tuned!!
