05/05/24 blinded society

The state of our society, country, world, and the condition of the Church in this Laodicean Period is on the brink of total disaster.

My mind is filled with Biblical warnings, encouragements and enlightenment for folks today. Sadly, there are few people who are reading the word of God or the signs of the times, and as a result they are falling victim to the god of this world.

As bothered as folks are today, concerning the state of our country, they are still mostly blind. They will not realize the gravity of the situation until it is too late. When collapse comes, people will be asking how it happened. They will be shocked at the suddenness and the thoroughness of our plight, but they will still be blind to the reasons and the impending dangers. Unless there is a Divine intervention that saves us from imminent catastrophe, this final collapse of our society and nation will take place very soon.

I am not under-concerned or overwhelmed by these terrible times, My focus is not primarily on "survival-ism." My focus is on spiritual transformation and victory over personal sin through faith in Jesus Christ. We cannot save the world from its death-spiral and we cannot save the people in this world from falling away from God. But we can offer them God's word and His salvation. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

We must not trust in horses or chariots or the sword of steel for our well being. We must turn completely to Jesus Christ. We must trust completely in Jesus Christ. We must follow fully in the steps of Jesus Christ.

Evangelism is, "telling the gospel message to others," with the hope of seeing others converted (saved). Jesus is our model for evangelism. We should be ready to give the reason for the hope we have in this life. But we should not be waiting until we are asked, we need to be seeking (looking for) the lost people that God wants us to evangelize. Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost. We ought to be actively SEEKING the lost; asking God to lead us to the right people. When He leads us to them, we need to be ready to tell them the Good News of salvation. Then we need to bring them into the loving and nurturing fellowship of a strong Bible church.
