This is not the worst time to be alive and serving God – this is the best time! Never before have people been more hopeless and searching. Never before has the coming of Christ been closer. Never before has the church been more relevant. We have truth that everyone needs.
Haggai 2:7 says of the future of this world: “And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.” Christ IS “the desire of all nations.” People do not know what they are looking for, but it is Jesus! And, yes, He is coming. The tremors we feel now are nothing compared to what will happen when He shakes the earth.
Read through the book of Acts again. In many ways, the church age is winding down just as it began, with both persecution and power. Evil men will always do their worst and speak against the good, but God is greater than them all (2 Timothy 3:13-14). This is what the church was built for!
Just this week I heard the words of My Anchor Holds and they did my soul so much good:
Though the ship is battered,
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn.
As I faced the raging seas,
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm.
You’re an encouragement, brother! I appreciate you!
Love you my friend. Keep pressing on!
Scott, just want to say I love this write especially and all you write is great to read and be encouraged by hearing. Keep up the good work and God bless you and your family.
