The Signs of the Times: Part 2

What Is The Issue At Hand?

Man in his unrighteous state is not acceptable to God.

Only when you are born again into his kingdom are you acceptable to him.

So what is going on around us?

Is this message of the Kingdom relevant today? 

Are the things we see in the world today able to change?

Is there a way to get answers from the Word and the Holy Spirit?

The majority of the world’s population is going after the things this world offers. It is a drive that is unholy and devilish. It drives them to suicide, to divorce, to commit crimes and to crush everyone around them to satisfy their lustful cravings that are completely out of control.

It Is Maddening!

It Is Hellish!

 It Is Rampant!

It Is Sin!

• Matthew 16:1-4
  
    1The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.  2 He replied, "When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,
  
    3 and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.
  
  

Greed driven societies are seeing something and it is making them nervous. The economy has been shaken up for several years.   Housing costs and the ability to pay debts has driven our nation to record foreclosures.   We are an energy consuming planet. So now we are  making fuel from the products that have been used to feed us.  Now there is an increase in beef and pork prices because the demand for corn is so high so it can be made into ethanol.  These costs are passed down to the consumer who are paying more to drive and more to eat and in our human brilliance the worlds system is failing.

Meanwhile…

 The government is trying to keep the country afloat to avoid mass chaos in our streets. As Of December 3, 2014 The National Debt Of Our Country Was….

$17,992,315,964,995.85

And Increases By:

$2.43 Billion Per Day

And all the while our nation and the nations of the world are spiraling out of control and the heart of man is crying out for something real and Jesus Christ is the answer and we have to give them the answer.

Families are in turmoil.

Marriages are under attack.

People escape reality by filling their minds with sinful pleasure and these pleasures result in mass addictions to pornography and uncontrolled fantasies.

Man thinks if he can escape reality for just a few moments he will feel better. But these things only compound the problem.

There is a price to pay to redeem man and Jesus paid that price.   The blood of Jesus shed on the cross paid our sin debt.

In This Crazy World There Is A  Message That Makes Sense! 

Jesus Christ, The Son Of God  Loves You And Has A Plan For Your Life!

To Be Continued.

Be Blessed!
