Taking a stand in these times...

We live in remarkable times. From the relative comfort of your living room or workplace you can use modern technology to make your deepest feelings known abroad. No generation that I know of has had this ability or responsibility.

As a Christian I feel a burden to make my light burn brightly and to spread the word of God. To preach the gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ our Lord and sow the seeds of a rich harvest. To bring warning of the last days of this age and to sound the alarm of the coming New World Order.

In doing this though it is difficult not to get caught up in the many side issues that abound in the news of each new day. The proponents of the coming New World Order are hitting their straps as they see victory coming within grasp. Trade and Legal treaties like the Trans Pacific Partnership and Trans Atlantic Partnership bring the hope of more jobs and trade opportunities but contain the threat of diminished civil rights and unfair competition from global Corporates.

Although these developments are clear evidence of Bible Prophecy, for instance, the rise of Babylon the Great Harlot in the book Revelation. The translation of which is a great religious and trade entity that arises in the last days of the Age of Grace before the Return of Jesus Christ. The problem I have personally is not becoming mired in this kind of discourse which can be very repetitive and negative.

Another concern is that with current scrutiny of the Internet by Government entities like New Zealand's GCSB there is a need to be careful in what you post. I would be mortified to come to the attention of the authorities for posting articles that were about issues that were moderately important from a Christian standpoint but subversive from a security standpoint. If I am going to be persecuted for anything let it be for making a stand for Jesus Christ.

I guess that what I am finally alluding to is the need to focus on the good things of God but to be aware of what's going on in the world around us. To accept that world powers are working toward the formation of a new world order but that the Almighty has over all control and a purpose in all that is done to bring a wonderful and triumphant end to Sin and establish His Millennium Kingdom.
