THE SIRENS ARE SOUNDING!

“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5

” For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.” Matthew 24:7

I hear the saying all of the time that we are living in an upside-down world. We are living in times and through things that we just do not understand. We are seeing people looting stores, people killing people, law enforcement embarrassed and dismissed. We are seeing the arrogant begin to rule the world, the lovers of money begin to rule the money system, the lovers of pleasure create pleasure in things that are just unmentionable. We are seeing people put their ideas and their wishes ahead of Gods. We see foolishness in some who say that men can have babies and that anyone can change from a man to a woman and a woman to a man. We see churches beginning to accept these things within their own walls and beginning to preach about being equitable to all. I believe that we are in the beginnings of the birth pains that our Lord talks about in scripture. These pains will only increase over time as we as a society begin to accept them as a normal part of life. We as believers are not going to experience perfect joy and peace in this world but instead experience sufferings, birth pains- and he wants us to understand that these birth pains mean that our suffering in this world is almost over and salvation from these sufferings is almost here. Our Lord is returning soon. The sirens are sounding today louder than they ever have. We must pay close attention, stay close to God in prayer, build our faith to be immovable and continue to stand up in spite of evil efforts to keep us quiet. We must yell out the salvation message to those around us. Our God is our refuge, and he will protect us and keep us safe! Stay strong and stay safe in the Lord! PRASIE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
