What do You Think?
Are we in the millennial reign of Christ which ends with another battle between good and evil, and culminates into an eternity with Christ as our King of Kings and Lord of Lords, or are we in the beginning of sorrows which leads up to the tribulation and the reign of the Anti-Christ? Is Christ sitting on the Throne of David in the Temple of God in Jerusalem ruling the world, or are we heading into a time which leads to a One World Government that dictates what we can buy or sell, and has every person marked with an ID as an allegiance to a One World Ruler. What do you think?
Can God be persuaded to slow down the process through a wholehearted repentance of his people who are recognizing their backslidden lukewarm condition and crying out to God to forgive them and heal the land or are we on an unstoppable collision with the end time scenario; then either way should we cry out to God and then turn to do all we can to warn others of the impending times of trial, tribulation, and persecution, or do we just approach it with a docile attitude without any sense of urgency? What do you think?
Is the great commission about gaining materially or about soul winning? Is it about being complacent, apathetic, and indifferent or about preaching the truth about salvation from sin to be servants of the Most High God? Is it about being comfortable and blessed in this life without a worry or a care, or is it about doing the work whether its convenient or not. It is about telling a sinful fallen humanity about a risen sinless Savior who took their sins upon himself so they could be redeemed by his blood to live a holy life of the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus, or is it about compromising the message and accommodating the culture to go along so that we can get along with everyone? What do you think?
Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. Isaiah 58:1 KJV
Today everyone wants to be blessed, but very few want to be a blessing, the greatest blessing we can give anyone is the truth of the gospel. Therefore we must stand in opposition against every power, principality, ruler of darkness, and spiritual wickedness in high places. Though we wrestle not with flesh and blood, it is flesh and blood that usually houses these entities, which they manifest themselves through.
This is not the physical reign of Christ, it is a time of spiritual warfare when we are called to endure hardness as good soldiers of Jesus Christ. Therefore we should use every weapon in our spiritual arsenal to fight the good fight of faith. Praying, Fasting, and Proclaiming Truth in the face of those who oppose the gospel. True faith works through the love of Christ, Jesus never back down from anyone or respected their person concerning the truth, and neither should we. What do you think?
