ROCK SOLID!

 

Matt 7:25

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

 

We live in an increasingly troubled and troublesome world. Like the disciples of old, our thoughts naturally gravitate to their question regarding the eventual collapse of society. The heavy burden of sin has turned God’s creation into a groaning and grotesque monster unsure of its gender.

 

Politically, “the wicked bears rule” and so the people mourn. (Proverbs 29:2) Religiously, churches have been overrun by carnal theatrics. Socially, the family unit is under tremendous strain. Cohabitation and illegitimacy are the result of a general lack of commitment. Productivity is down because entitlement now rules the day. There is a growing unrest as culture begins to dissolve.

 

Jesus urged his followers to remain calm but to be prepared. We will feel the pressure along with others, but we will know that our ultimate redemption is drawing closer and closer. We must remain true to godly principles, resist the culture, and win the lost. Then shall the end come.

 

Dear Lord, help me to remain calm and faithful in the face of growing unrest. AMEN
