“Do you believe the world will end in your lifetime?”

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

According to Lifeway Publishing…only 11% of Americans believe that the world will end in their lifetime.  Americans are an optimistic people by nature.  We can hardly believe that the ‘world will end’ anytime soon.

Yet, the Bible is very clear that at any moment, ‘the sound of the trumpet’ will fill the air and the dead in Christ will rise to meet their Lord! The living saints will be ‘changed’ in a ‘twinkle of an eye’.   That won’t end the world, but it will be the beginning of the end.

Whether the world ends today or 10,000 years from today is not the question….the question is: ‘are you ready’ to meet the Lord?  We may not know the day or the hour…but we do know the ’season’.  Just as the fruit of a tree says ’summer’….the signs all point to the soon return of our Lord and Savior.

God doesn’t operate on surveys….He works by His own plan……..

‘One World Government’

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

It would seem that the problems that now face America is also a world problem.  When all the siuations are laid out before us, many are saying that it will take a world gov’t to solve the, seemingly, unending flood of events.

Long ago a Jewish Prophet foretold that a series of world governments would arise.  Daniel saw the Babylonians, the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans and a revived Roman empire that would all dominate the history of mankind.

Many voices are crying out today for a new world order and a world government to solve the major problems we face.  God’s Word is accurate to the letter.  A new world order is coming!  A World Government is coming!  Because God had already settled that in Heaven. 

Should the believer fear the future?  No!  The future is already set by the Word of God and secured by His name and promises.  We are to ‘occupy’ till He calls us home to himself.  While the world system is chasing answers, the believer has his eye on the Heavens and the soon return of our Lord.
