Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. ROMANS 13:11-12
We MUST understand the times in which we live – and cultivate an eternal perspective! If our hope is in people, politics, or possessions, we will always be set up for disappointment and left feeling empty; if however, our hope is in the Lord Jesus Christ alone, we have a secure, eternal hope that can never fade and is an anchor to our souls in these tumultuous times.
Do NOT be deceived by the media, Hollywood, a godless government and education system, a culture of moral relativism, the Christian Left and false teachings infecting the church.
Nearly one hundred years ago – back in 1923, J. Gresham Machen said this, “An examination of the teachings of liberalism will show that at every point the liberal movement is in opposition to the [biblical] Christian message.”
Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God. 3 So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. Therefore if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you. REVELATION 3:2-3
Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. 13 But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 2 TIMOTHY 3:12-13
