The times that we live in continue to both amaze me and excite me. There is something about rising to the challenge that is presented before me that really motivates me. Some people run when times get tough or the game is on the line, but I have always wanted to be the one who stood in the gap and said, “Follow me, I will lead you home!”
It is in this hour that we must guard our thoughts. How you think will determine your success or failure as we move forward in times of stress and difficulty. You must understand your purpose and know that Jesus has called you to follow Him, He will lead you home!
I recently read this quote by Michael Eisner, chairman of the Disney Company: “We have no obligation to make history. We have no obligation to make art. We have no obligation to make a statement. To make money is our only objective.” It caused me to think of the purpose of the Church. Many think the only objective is to attract people and build a larger building. We have missed the entire purpose for which Jesus Christ gave His life. We do have an obligation to make history. Jesus was a history maker. We do have an obligation to make art. The church for centuries set the standard in the arts and greatly impacted culture. It is time to return to the head of the line in every sphere of cultural influence in our society. Finally, it is our obligation to make a statement. Not with words only, but through our very lives! Jesus gave His life so that you could walk in your divine purpose in Him. That is home!
If you haven’t noticed our nation is in a very steep decline that is gaining speed by the hour. Having lost our moral compass which has been founded upon scripture, we are headed for a crash of incredible magnitude. Now is not the time to run, but to stand! To stand firm in our faith. Faith that causes you to know it is for this time you have been born. Karios moments have become so close together that we have moved into the fullness of time or God’s time! Recognize it and prepare yourself for the most exciting days you have ever dreamed of.
People who fight may lose.
People who do not fight have already lost.
- Bertold Brecht
