Just a quick glance at a few of this week's headlines ...



   *Jerusalem Post - "It just keeps getting worse"

   *Drudge report - "A Disintegrating Society"

   *USA Today - "The U.S. of Emergency"

   *The Wall Street Journal - "America's gloom marches into 2nd decade"



and then this one ...



   *CNS News - "Reverend Billy Graham:  'America is just as wicked as Sodom & Gomorrah ever were' "



Those of us who know the Bible's teachings concerning these things knew that all this would begin to take place, and then accelerate as we draw closer to the glorious return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. ... But still, it is difficult to watch happen, isn't it? ... Our human nature makes us wonder sometimes about how we ourselves will fare during these final throes of the Church age .. not to mention our concern for those who are clueless and lost ... Let me close with this Bible passage ......



"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.  10) At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,  11) and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.  12) Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,  13) but he who stands firm to the end will be saved." ... Matthew 24:9-13 ...



For those of us who stand firm, WE WILL BE SAVED! ... Therein lies the hope of our faith! .... Yes, things will continue to get worse before they get better, but just remember this ... it will not last for very much longer. ... Also remember that our Lord will not give us more than we can handle ....  Revelation 3:10 says it all ...

... "Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth." ... He WILL keep us from the hour of trial! ... Hallelujah!



Hang in there, and never lose sight of your eternal hope that is in Jesus Christ!



Until next time,
