Churches open and flowing with people: Grace Community (John MacArthur). People deprived of everything, isolated, no job, no income. Bored to death watching Netflix all day. God was calling many out of darkness in to His life. Most cursed the wrong thing and put hope in the wrong thing. But God still called men to Him. John 6:44.
Interesting thought about "who knows who will still yet come to Jesus." When my mother was dying 10 years ago she cried "I wanted to go in the rapture." I give the same answer here I gave her: if we could magically call Him to Come Now but it was before His time, others will miss out. A hard call. Of COURSE we want to go in glory, not in shame, pain and infirmity. And we want those awful, hateful, God cursing ones to GO. Well, they will one day.
The beauty of God's timing is ONLY HE KNOWS. Satan doesn't. Every time a soul walks out of his bailiwick into God's kingdom he has to wince. "Is this it? Is this the last one that starts my final countdown clock of doom?" We can have joy in his misery, and our final destination. Everything in between is hard. We are the temporary occupation force - like it or not. Baysider
Excellent radio show/podcast. I am a Christian and I am not ashamed to say Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I thank God for that gift that was shared with me at a very early age in my life by my mom and especially my grandma. I thank God for that.
I believe we all must be like the in the parable of the 10 virgins. We must be as the 5 who were ready because it could happen at any time but also know only God knows the time. When Jesus was asked, He told them that only His Father knows the day and time and that if He did know He would have to tell us. I believe we are near, but we do not know when.
Our nation is in a sad state of affairs. We can pray for our nation and its citizenry, but we cannot legislate morality. That must come from a sound heart filled with the calling and love of God. I no longer worry about America because I know that as for all of us God knows the beginning from the end. All in God's time.
Yes, we should stand up and not be silent about what is good, lovely and of good report. We must call on those who are wrong and try with love and the grace that only comes from God to be Sheppard's leading wayward sheep back to the fold.
Thank you, Elizabeth. As a Christian, I'd like to recommend two other broadcasts you might enjoy. One is with the author or Wrath! Peter Wood: https://anchor.fm/your-american-heritage/episodes/Your-American-Heritage-11-13-2021-Peter-W-Wood-e1a80em And another with the guy who discovered the city of Sodom: https://anchor.fm/your-american-heritage/episodes/Your-American-Heritage-10-30-2021-Steven-Collins-and-Latayne-Scott-e19hv99
