Are we leading the church to get the most out of life or are
we preparing it for the destruction of the earth and the return of the Lord
Jesus?
Do our friends and neighbors suspect that we are building an
ark in our backyards?
A Christian possesses a life hidden with the Lord Jesus in
God; for purposes of understanding, a Christian is in heaven looking down
to earth. Nothing on earth can bring him
joy except those things and opportunities which he can use to edify the church
and proclaim the gospel.
Everything we see in this world will be destroyed by
fire. This world is condemned. Not a thing can be done to save the economy,
to bring peace between nations, to alleviate poverty and hunger, to stem the
spread of disease.
What remains for us to do is to declare the gospel, so that
those who had been chosen before the foundation of the world might hear and
believe.
And then the end will come.
