in the last days....

just lately ive noticed a lot of really awful stuff coming out of the woodwork and finding itself tucked most comfortably on the front page of our broadsheets. things like 'child of 10 murdered in manchester'. when did this come about so boldly? is there some sort of watershed in the realms of darkness that have suddenly been opened?

the bible does talk of horrendous godlessness in the last days.
so surely that calls for Christians worldwide to wake up and make a point of their faith?

recently i was told of an atheist writing an article in the paper about a church who purpousfully took down their stone crucifix in their graveyard in case of it offending people.
now this atheist turned around and said that the church is becoming weak with their opinions. have you noticed the greatest leaders, christian or non christian, and how their opionions are always strong and never wavered?

if nelson mandella never fought for his beliefs then who knows how the aparthide and politics surrounding that would look today
same with martin luther king. his famous speech would no longer be 'i have a dream', but 'i have a small idea that im not sure if you will like, if you dont like it then you dont have to listen'
if Jesus never stuck to his guns then so many people would never heard the gospel. people would not be living with the joy that so many people in a relationship with Jesus Christ have.

what would the church look like if it truely took hold of its faith and decided to run wholly after God? what would Christians look like if they truely gave their lives to the Lord? whole heartedly.....not just on sundays, or even weeknights and weekends, but wholly 100% not wavering, totally devoted to Jesus.

how would it look?

the answer??

phenominal

the passion that would come from that would spread throughout the world, it would spread from old to young and young to old, it would spread through schools, offices, towns and cities, through religions, people would take notice of what Jesus is doing!! people would be truly affected by the infectious love of Christ. they would be touched, healed spiritually, mentally and physically, they would be convicted by the Holy Spirit just by being the in the same room as another Christian.

if we truly truly went all out for God, our front pages wouldn't be tradegy and murder, theft and brutal attacks

it would glorify God Almighty. it would have pictures of churches over filled with people pouring out onto the streets
it would have people raised from the dead
it would have miraculous healings
it would have pictures of Christians truely embodying Christ.

Jesus will not return untill the gospel is preached throughout the whole world. He will never come untill every nation has heard His name.

we have a major job to do and we cannot afford to do it half heartedly!!
