There are a lot of questions concerning what is going on in our world right now. Headlines are upsetting, people are without jobs, people are shooting at other people randomly, flying planes into buildings because they can't pay their taxes, and crazy things are happening with the weather!
So what's up? GOD IS!!! And He is still on the throne! He never wakes up, reads a paper, watches CNN then asks, "HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?".
Warnings are just that, WARNINGS. They only work to serve their purpose if you take heed. Meanwhile, God is God! Take comfort if you know HIM and have trusted in His Son, JESUS CHRIST.
If you SERIOUSLY have questions and want some guided answers look to the WORD but also try a few Sound teachers writings on a look at the END TIMES and see what you come up with. ALWAYS RUN THE TEACHING YOU RECEIVE BY THE VALIDITY OF SCRIPTURE. If it sounds great but contradicts God's word...it is false teaching. So pray as you read and if it lines up with the bible...okay. Make application to your life with what you learn.
David Jeremiah has a sound book on this subject:
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON? Ten prophetic clues you cannot afford to ignore.
Joel C. Rosenberg has some insights in:
Why the Current Rumblings in the Middle East Will Change YOUR World
Rob Linsted: Author and Speaker, Founder of Milk and Honey Ministries
The NEXT MOVE, Current events in Bible Prophecy
Above all, remember God is on the throne. Go about the business of glorifying Him in your life and if we can trust the Word of God, and we can, Peace with God is available to you even during this chaotic time in history.
Do you know God's forgiveness through Faith in Jesus Christ as Savior?
Romans 10:9
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
I am a Christian and I know that just being a follower of God doesn't always calm things down in your mind when you read these crazy headlines. But as I start to remember His truth, His promises to never leave me, that He is always in control...then I can face what I must until He returns with a certain level of peace that CNN or FOX News can't provide.
John 16:33
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
GOD IS GOD...
Here's a repost of the SCC song some of you asked about. I think it is a good reminder today.
