Whining About the End Times Events

If we are continually whining about the politics of an evil government then we are not continually focused on Christ. Our mission is the gospel in spite of all that is going on around us. If we are worldly focused we are distracted with useless and futile things. No one can stop the chaos that is coming, it would be the same as not believing God that these things will happen.

I believe God when He said the world is spinning out of control while demons dominate everything, so in response, I want to speak of the Lord every chance I get to the unsaved and encourage the believers whenever and wherever possible.

We can expect the world to spin out of control into insanity, God said it would, no surprise there, so we need to stop focusing on all that as though we need to do something about it and speak of the Lord and His gospel as often as we can everywhere we go.

Attempting to stop prophecy is like trying to empty the ocean with a bucket and a teaspoon, it can't be done, so why waste valuable time on it that could be spent knowing God and sharing Him with others.

Colossians 3:23-25 "23 Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for people,

24 knowing that it is from the Lord that you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.

25 For the one who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality."

There are many people who realize these are the end times but don't act as though they believe it. Since the time is short it is God's purpose for us to bring the message of the gospel to as many as possible before we are taken out of here.

Yes, I said it, it is a waste of time to save a nation or a world politically when God has judged it for destruction. Our goal ought to be the gospel to the nations. Soon "Christians" who are that in name only will be following the antichrist because He will deceive them with promises of saving their nation or this world. Since the nation and this world is their focus they will gladly fall in line.

Don't be deceived, better times are not coming for the world but they are for the born-again believer who will exit before the mess is full-blown.

Becoming a New Creation

We come to Christ as we are but we do not remain like that. Christ changes us into a new creation, the old is passed away, this means the way we think is completely different from before we were born-again and this determines how we act.

Romans 12:1-3 "1 Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given you.…"

Those who are born again cannot be comfortable in their sin, they will be tormented with guilt until they confess it to be cleansed by Christ.

James 5:15-16 "…15 And the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick. The Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail."

Colossians 1:9

"For this cause, we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;"

Seeking Christ is the antidote to the ravages of sin. No one can change the past but they can move forward in holiness as each sinful attitude and act is confessed.

1 John 1:9 was written to believers. We grow in holiness in direct proportions to how often we confess. Those who rarely confess or refuse to admit their sin will not grow and will maintain superficial relationships that have no depth.

1 John 1:9

"9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Do not think we can grow in holiness and wisdom without confession of sin.
