Has the Countdown Begun?


For the last week I have watched two stars come closer and closer together.  They merged last night.  People are calling them the Star of Bethlehem phenomenon.  It was an alignment of Jupiter and Venus that has not happened for 2000 years.

Today the Pope declares all religions the same.

The Bible tells us that all the things of the end will not happen until there is a great falling away.

Ponderous times.

Preferred Trophies


Our list of God given strengths cannot be a list of the things that were.  It is a living list.  Our strengths are no more frozen in time than are we.  Every moment brings a choice; do we wrestle with weakness, or take hold of victory.

The strengths of God are not trophies that we can put on display.  Rather, they are servants waiting to be deployed. 

It is our weaknesses that are dead.  But I see so many put these on display.

Will it be said that we coveted what is not?  Or will it be said that we desired what is?
