This is a time for the Church to Pray!
The nations of the world are going through upheavals such as we have not seen before.
The turmoil and chaos with respect to immorality, crime, a time when right is wrong and wrong is right. The confusion with young and old is beyond anything we have encountered. These situations have always plagued mankind, because man is sinful, they have always been present, but now they are predominant and overwhelming! This is also a time for those of you reading this to realise the day of salvation is drawing to a close, the day of grace will not continue forever. If you have never found forgiveness in the Lord Jesus Christ call on Him today, your eternal destiny depends on Jesus, you cannot get to heaven by your own good works, no one can remove sin except God.
He is the only way to the Father, there is no other way only the perfect Son of God was without sin, He died to take the punishment we all deserve for our rebellion again our
Creator God
The poem by James Russell Lowell 1819-1891 is exactly where we are today
This Present Crisis
Hast thou chosen O my people on whose party thou shalt stand, ere the doom from its worn sandals shakes the dust against our land? Though the cause of Evil prosper, yet, 'tis TRUTH alone is strong, and albeit she wander outcast now, I see around her throng, troops of beautiful, tall angels, to shield her from all wrong.
Careless seems the great Avenger, history's pages but record, One death-grapple in the darkness 'twixt old systems and the Word; Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne -- Yet that scaffold sways the future, and behind the dim unknown, standeth God within the shadows, keeping watch above his own.
Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide, In the strife of Truth with Falsehood, for the good or evil side; Some great cause, God's new Messiah, offering each the bloom or blight, parts the goats upon the left hand and the sheep upon the right, and the choice goes by forever 'twixt that darkness and that light.
To side with Truth is noble when we share her wretched crust, ere her cause bring fame and profit and tis prosperous to be just; Then it is the brave man chooses, while the coward stands aside, doubting in his abject spirit, till His Lord is crucified, and the multitude make virtue of the faith they had denied.
