What I Know For Sure…
Jesus, during his earthly ministry, lived during a time when evil men were ruling over God’s people. He had knowledge of what was to come and how it would affect him adversely personally.
Matthew 26:
37He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
42 He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”
He knew what awaited him, but because his “tuner” was set to the voice of his Father, he did not use his own logic or reasoning powers to escape suffering and death. He wrestled with his foreknowledge and he prayed to the point of tears of blood. But ultimately he simply chose to solider on towards his future, whether it was one he welcomed (“how I have longed to gather you as a mother hen”) or if it was one he dreaded (“take this cup from me”).
Jesus had learned two important rules that guided his activities and his focus:

Questions about Inertia and War
As I look around, I see two realities. 1) Inertia. People are still shopping, eating out, buying new cars and essentially acting as if they believe everything is fine and will be fine. 2) WAR on we the people. The … Continue reading

America Is In A Societal Meltdown
Accordingly, I think all this talk about “saving America” is largely a complete waste of time and energy. Instead, we need to be talking about saving our individual states (and the truth is, probably at least half of the states are beyond repair), saving our families, saving our communities, and saving our individual freedoms. To continue to focus on “saving America” or “changing Washington, D.C.,” etc., is utter foolishness! Washington, D.C., is not going to change; it is beyond redemption. Forget it! Circle the wagons around your State; cement your convictions; prepare your family; ready your resolve; and start planning for life after death–the death of liberty and law in America–because the meltdown of American society and culture has already begun.

Time to gather stones together…?
As I ponder the deteriorating condition and the direction of the world around us I am conflicted. In me there are two strong motivations.
As a believer I want to change the world, to win souls, to fulfill the great commission. To do this I feel I need to stay plugged into our modern society with all its flaws and risks. But as a husband and dad, I want to provide for and protect my family. In the face of a looming economic collapse and a government that is leaning towards tyranny where economic and religious freedoms are being lost rapidly, I am tempted to retreat from society to a safer place and a simpler life where I am less dependent on the world system. My conflict is not to be unexpected since Paul was clear that . . . to read more ->http://durablefaith.com/2010/06/02/time-to-gather-stones/

What will cause the great falling away?
MT 24:10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.”
What could cause people who love each other to betray and hate each other? What could cause people who are excited about being believers to turn away from the faith? We could contemplate the circumstances that might bring that about. What about worldwide famine, worldwide persection, or both with people being rewarded with food to turn in the remaining christians? What that be enought to cause the great falling away? Well, those things certainly wouldn’t help the situation. But no, the answer is…. Continue reading
