In Times Like These

“Many shall run to and fro.”  “Nations shall rise against nations.”  (Daniel 12:4) (Matthew 24:6-7)

Our  age now needs Church revival and a need to have spiritual awakening. The days are really evil.

I – It Is An Age Of War – “Nation shall rise against nation.” (Matthew 24:6-7).   There shall be famines, pestilences, earthquakes.  For 3,521 years, only 286 years have been warless.

II – It Is An Immoral Age – “Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers .” By the year 2000, Divorce outnumbered marriage.

III – It Is An Age Of Crime – “Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers.” (2 Timothy 3:3). We will have a lot of “hoodlums in uniform.” A white collar crime and widespread scam and syndicates.

IV – It Is  A Stressed-Out Age – “Many shall run to and fro” (Daniel 12:4).  We live in a continuous rush and always say busy, busy! Time is running out.  We live in an age when people depend on pain killers to cope.  Half of our hospitals are victims of stress.  Drugs and alcohol are rampant and younger generations are learning drugs.  What will happen to us if our country is run by drug addicts,  criminals?

V – It Is An Insipid Christianity – “The salt shall lost its savour.” (Matthew 5:13).  When salt lost its savor, the church is tasteless, unpalatable,because of gambling and drugs.  The sad part is, Philippines is a Christian nation in Far East.  Churches in US are being sold due to less numbers of churchgoers.
