Hey friends, as we watch and take note of things happening in our world today, it is hard to see anything but evil and chaos. That should not surprise us, as God’s Word tells us clearly that, in the last days, perilous times will come (2 Timothy 3:1-5); evil will be called good and good will be called evil (Isaiah 5:20); deceit, delusion, unrighteousness and works of Satan will be commonplace (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12); and the spirit of antichrist will be present among us (1 John 4:3).
We’re seeing those things in mass numbers and growing intensity, and tomorrow our focus will turn to those current events. But today, let’s ask the question: “Is anything good happening?” Look carefully, because I think so!
For example, Christians are beginning to wake up to the horror show happening with our children. Wise people are beginning to understand the spiritual war taking place for the souls of kids, and some are even fighting back!
The sanctity of life is being defended more so than over the past decade. Yes, there is still lots of work to do, but Christians are responding. And what about religious freedom? You might be surprised to know that some warriors in the fight are saying we have more religious freedom than we have had in a very long time. I’ll let you make up your mind, but I also want you to hear from one of those people! After Kelly Shackelford’s First Liberty team helped win the Supreme Court battle for the football coach who lost his job because he took a knee on the field to pray, it restored freedoms that were long lost.
Spend 5 minutes hearing Kelly Shackelford explain the liberties gained as he and his team won that historic court battle, then answer this question: “What can I do to live out my religious freedom?” Enjoy!
Come back tomorrow, friends! We’ll look at other signs of the times and find encouragement from Scripture to overcome the evil and chaos in our world today! See you tomorrow!
