Another year has come and gone. The Lord has given us a little more time to get things right here on Earth. How much more? Who knows? The Mayans gave us two more years, but despite their predictions, and the fact that things are getting pretty bad, I don't think that's it. The scriptures tell us that no man shall know the hour of the Lord's return. Bottom line: People get ready.
What if 2000 had been the beginning of the end? What if there will be some cataclysmic Thundarr the Barbarian/Armageddon/Deep Impact kind of cosmic event? Will you be ready for what comes next?
There's a bumper sticker that says: "If you've been living like there's no God - You'd better be right!" For many people, that's exactly it. They are sure they're right. Their intellect, their 'wisdom' gets in the way of their faith. No, that's not really it. Their 'wisdom' supplants their faith. They have faith only in that which they can touch, see, and hold in their hands. If that last statement calls to mind the attitude of those who created graven images, well...good. We may not have "idle hands" but in a sense, we have "idol hands." In fact, I think perhaps there is something to the YouTube video entitled "Satan's plan." In a nutshell, the enemy wants to keep us busy. Too busy to have a real relationship with Christ. Too busy to spread the Word. Too busy to realize that the world is quite literally going to hell. Too busy to get ready. Another bumper sticker comes to mind:
R U E
Are you (red 'e') ready?
