It's the sign of the times

In Mathew's gospel, and chapter twenty-four, Jesus tells his disciples that there will be signs of the times. These signs will confirm the scriptures, and affirm their faith and trust in the Lord. The signs of the times that our Lord spoke about are frighten and down right alarming.  These events will shake the foundation of men's souls and compel them to become tribal by instinct. People will form allegiances; public opinion will shape prevailing beliefs; the love of many will become cold, or a lack of civility; The Lord gave his disciples a heads up so that they could remain calm in the midst of a lot of stupid stuff going on. There is a lot of stupid stuff going on today. From the white house to the church house, people have no problems calling other people out. Shaming is the new game in town. The people of God shouldn't fall to the level of the beast and react to what they hear and see in the news. God got you! In the midst of craziness, stand still and see the Salvation of the Lord. Jesus told his disciples, and I am telling you, to stand firm in the gospel of peace. The Kingdom of God will make its greatest impact in a world with a whole lot of craziness going on!
