They Never Saw It Coming

What's going on? Pick up a paper, turn on the TV or surf the Net. Unspeakable murders never imagined seem commonplace today. The Christian worldview is not accepted, and is even vilified and banned, in our schools and universities. The liberal view won the election in the US. Christians are killed for being Christians in many parts of the world(and many in the church seem to care less). Perverse lifestyles are being accepted as the norm, and are now even protected classes. Abortion rates climb. There is a moral decline and even depravity that is permeating our society. Why is this happening? We seem surprised.

I have many Christians I talk with asking this. Why are we surprised? If you believe that we are living in the last days of this world, like I do, you should know that these things are inevitable. The Bible is very clear that in the last days things will get worse(read 2 Peter 3 and 1 Timothy 3). But we seem to be surprised by it. We are not looking as if at a fig tree. We are not recognizing birth pains. We need to realize we are in a war. Our enemy is going all out surge, and half our army doesn't even know we are in a war.

Do I think we can stop it? It doesn't matter what I think, the Bible says it will happen. I know we can win spiritual battles, and we need to continue to fight those battles until the Lord returns. We need to use our weapons, not the worlds. God is still sovereign. Know that this is happening, and know we must stand firm and persevere until He comes back.

We do have battles to win. The war is already won.
