This world seems to be growing darker and meaner everyday. There is a lot of anger and a total absolute disregard for what is right in God's eyes. Maybe people now days have no interest at all in God and if they do they aren't being obedient to Him and His Holy Word, the Bible. There is a rudeness nowadays and a lack of the fear of God.
It can be really discouraging for the believer to witness everything going wrong in the world. I have heard people say, "Where is the Church?", in these times of trouble. The Church, that is all believers in Jesus Christ, are still around praying and spreading the Gospel message to all who will listen. Should the Church do more in proclaiming the truth of Jesus Christ? Yes, I do think there is more we should do and can do, but we must make sure we are doing it in the power of the Holy Spirit while being directed by the Lord with love always at the core of what we are doing.
Many people have hardened their hearts toward the things of God and everyone that believes in Him. People still need to hear the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ and we should never stop sharing the good news with those around us. They may not listen, but they will not be able to say that we never warned them of their need of a Savior.
We will all one day appear before God in Judgment and everybody who has ever lived will have to give an account to the live they lived here on the earth. The good works won't save us. Giving to the poor or putting money in the offering plate won't save us. Doing some ritual won't save us. We have all sinned and the wages of sin is death. We need a Savior. Thankfully, God provided one for us by sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to this earth to die on a Cross for our sins. It is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ that we can have forgiveness of our sins and be with the Lord forever in Heaven when we die.
We must confess to the Lord that we have sinned against Him and then we must receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. The whole world needs to hear the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ because the time is drawing near for the Lord's return. Jesus is coming back folks and it is important that each one of us is ready for His return. There needs to be a call of repentance to sweep across our lands and there needs to be a Reviving in our Churches through the power of the Holy Spirit.
We believers in Jesus Christ must repent of our waywardness and we need to put on the full armor of God and take the Gospel Message to every corner of our planet. We need to proclaim the truth about the Bible and the truth of who God is and how people can come to know Him.
What will you do today to point someone towards Jesus?
Lord,
We are sorry that we get distracted by all the bad things going on in our world.
We are sorry that we have grown complacent and we have become more like the world.
Awaken us O Lord and forgive us for sliding.
Change the tide Lord and Revive Your Church.
Empower us through the Holy Spirit to proclaim the Gospel truth to those around us.
Grant us a vision that You have in store for us and work through us to accomplish it.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
