WHO REALLY CARES!!!

WHO REALLY CARES!!!

I DO! I have heard such remarks come out of many peoples mouths what does this study of the Eschatology really matter. I even seen a comment of "like End Times is the most important subject." In fact whether you know it or not your view of Eschatology effects every area of your life. From your Worldview, to Christian Character, Work ethics, Saving/Spending, Even more your view on Elohim (God). The study of the Last Days is a subject that is prob. the most in need of Reformation. I would like to demonstrate to you how your view does effect even your Christian life.

In the late 1800's the United States was given a gift from a foreign country, this structure was designed, assembled, dismantled and shipped to the US. from France. This massive structure was shipped to the New York shore in some 200+ crates. Engineers and Architects took skill and precision as to the planing and placing of the massive structure. The site was picked to assemble this structure but soon the finances where not available to build. New York was soon to loose their bid for the chosen place for this monument. A man (Joseph Pulitzer) had a newspaper and printed that New York needed donations to build the monument. Soon the people of the U.S. started pitching in a Penny, nickel, dime or Dollar. In no time they raised the funds and this statue was under way. This statue represents something meaning Liberty Enlightening the World, that's right my friend the Statue of Liberty. This country although still under developed believe that it would endure so they go to work and made something happen the Statue was completed.

The church of the Lord Jesus Christ is of much more importance than a statue in New York. The Church is that City set on a hill, the Light of the World, a Tower of Refuge and Strength, the very Truth that endures from Generation to Generation. With reports that the church will soon be gone of the face of the earth, people sit by as though they have been called out of darkness just to occupy till he comes. This is far from the truth we are to be Over comers and more than Conquers, we are to be strategic in our pursuits and calling in the Kingdom of God. We are many members but of One Body, if you feel as though you have a small effect in the Kingdom, some donated pennies to getting the statue of Liberty built, do your part to help build the Everlasting Kingdom.

This world demands a church that knows its rightful place on Earth. With escapism and fear driving the church, this mentality is very harmful to the health of the Body. With 2012 approaching I pray you catch fresh fire from the spirit of God. Take inventory of you walk, ask yourself have I been effective, am I doing all I can for the Lord. The great depression hit the U.S. not long after the statue of Liberty was finished. With the Worlds economical system in a downturn, we need to be secure and ready that the promised escape "rapture" is not coming. In fact we will have to face troubling times ahead, we must hold on to the anchor of our Salvation.

Just how Everlasting/Eternal is the Kingdom of God, Paul in Eph. 3 lays a very strong foundation for the Reality of the Church. I have seen some commentators put twists on passages and the verse I'm getting ready to quote is one of them. Remember the writer of the commentary is bound by his own mindset and if he sees an end of the world soon his interp. will be tilted that way or he will be blinded from the reality hidden in the passage. Eph. 3:21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, Age without end. Amen. The praise/glory of Jesus will in fact be for all generations, Yes the passage says All. Age without end is in fact speaking of the New Covenant age, that is what we are in right now and it has been advancing for some 2000yrs now.

The main message of the church should be changed instead of a few buzz words such as "the rapture will happen soon" or "the end is near" to "we are saved now lets really Impact the society." We know being part of an Everlasting Kingdom if you come to grips with you are in this Kingdom Now, because you are even if you don't believe it. Your mindset will change, your attitude toward your value in life changes as well. We know that the works of your hands in the natural as well as the spiritual Endure to the following Generation. Its time you stop chancing the tail in circles and see something happen in your corner of the Planet. For you work is not in vain, it endures.

Consider the works of your hands as Solomon did. They will be left for someone else to pick up the reigns.

God Bless you richly in this New Year and Always,
