All those I know who are spending time warning people of these end times while exposing evil are not sad people. Just the opposite, we are full of joy and expectation as we wait for our Lord. We know the blessing now and to come for having trusted Jesus Christ. We love righteousness and goodness while at the same time hating evil.
Why do we hate evil? Because it destroys people in this life and for eternity.
The only people who would see our warnings as mean spirited are those who are fearful lacking faith. They only want to hear pleasant words because they cannot stand to hear the truth.
Isaiah 30:9-11 "…9 These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to obey the LORD’s instruction. 10 They say to the seers, “No more visions,” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us the truth. Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions. 11 Get out of the way; turn off the road. Rid us of the Holy One of Israel!”…"
The greatest joy comes when a lost sinner trusts Christ, is cleaned up and on their way to glory.
Isaiah 43:1 “Don’t fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine.”
Psalm 18:2 “The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer.”
Deuteronomy 31:8 “He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Those who have been born again, changed into a new creation by Christ do not fear the hardships of life, they embrace them as lessons and come through them straighter and stronger than they were before. Hallelujah!!!
