What is the World Coming To?
How much longer can our perverse generation hope to continue before the waves of God's wrath break the dam of His mercy--and we experience His judgement? What will happen when He sends His Son back to this world? Are you ready to give an account of your life when Jesus Christ returns? How can you prepare? It may be less than an eye blink away.

" The fashion now is to tolerate anything lest we gain the reputation of being intolerant. But we can prove our faith by our commitment to it, and in no other way. Any belief that does not command the one who holds it is not a real belief." A. W. Tozer
If there's anything necessary to your eternal happiness but God, you're not yet the kind of Christian that you ought to be. FOR ONLY GOD IS THE TRUE REST. #Tozer
The Sin of Silence
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household.” 2 Kings 7:9
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Andrew Murray said, “There are two classes of Christians: soul winners, and backsliders.” In my humble estimation, there are two great sins a Christian can commit: the greatest is to fail to love the Lord Jesus. The second greatest is not adultery or drunkenness, but it is the sin of silence—to refuse to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Suppose you knew the cure for cancer. Would you not tell it? Suppose you were on an island where people were starving to death and you knew where there was a vast hoard of food. Would you not tell it?
Ours is the greatest mission, the greatest message, the greatest Master the world knows anything about. Our mission is the Great Commission. Our message is the saving Gospel of our Lord and Savior. Our master, Jesus Christ Himself, has told us we ought to take the gospel to every creature on earth. Yet many Christians are sinning against this command. They're committing what I call “the sin of silence.” If you’re not a witness, you're not right with God, I don't care what else you may do.
ACTION POINT:
I care not how faithfully you attend, how eloquently you teach, how liberally you give, how circumspectly you walk or how beautifully you sing. If you’re not witnessing, you’re not right with God.

"Here is terror for the wicked. Those who defy Him, break His laws, have no concern for His glory, but live their lives as though He did not exist, must not suppose that, when at the last they shall cry to Him for mercy, He will alter His will, revoke His word, and rescind His awful threatenings. No, He has declared, "Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them" (Ezek. 8:18). God will not deny Himself to gratify their lusts. God is holy, unchangingly so. Therefore God hates sin, eternally hates it. Hence the eternality of the punishment of all who die in their sins."
~ Arthur Pink, "Gleanings in the Godhead - The Immutability of God"
The weakness of so many modern Christians is that they feel too much at home in the world. -A.W. Tozer
