Good Morning Family!
As we watch our nation’s colleges and universities flame with evil and unrest, we are once again reminded of the importance of reaching people with the Gospel. Jesus is the only answer to the hatred and unrest we see all around us.
The sad reality is that, although He is the answer, He is also the object of the same evil. Evil hates the answer to evil. The world, I believe, is quickly spinning into some very familiar and also very vile territory where the powers of darkness are raising up a new generation of people who are simply pawns in the hands of the rulers and principalities that presently are at work in this world under the permissive hand of God.
As the world system becomes more and more violent and hate-filled; the Lord calls us to keep the faith, and “occupy ‘til He comes”. “As the family goes, so goes society”, is very true. As Satan wages socio-political war on the world stage, He continues to wage war against the homes and families all around us. And if we are not watchful, he can begin to gain ground even among our own families and friends.
Even believers are vulnerable to Satan’s attacks and can allow strongholds in our lives, if we are not careful and mindful. As we see political agitators taking over college campuses, the Enemy can do the same thing in people’s personal lives. The truth of freedom in Jesus is the only answer to the bondage of sin and rebellion… in lives and in nations. Even though it is dark indeed, we must continue to pray for God’s mercy and awakening in our communities, nation, and families around us.
As always, my prayer is that we would all “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth.” II Timothy 2:15.
