Greetings 👋
What will the last days look like before the final return of Christ? Matthew, Chapter 24, gives us a glimpse.
“And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. Read the entire chapter when you get a chance.
“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.”
Matthew 24: 6-12.
The Christian walk was never meant to be a cakewalk where everyone loves us. Some of us will be martyred for our beliefs. But we know that there’s a new day coming.
Do these passages stir your heart? Church-goers hear them every year as part of the #Advent readings.
“The angel went to her and said, ‘Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.’
Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God.
You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.
He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

Roger Stone nailed it: If you’re not glued to social media, you’ve probably missed the intense infighting tearing through conservative circles right now. That’s a good thing!
Let’s consider staying off the social media feed, and we won’t get dragged into the drama, or deceived by once respected voices who’ve joined the dark side.
Sometimes, we all need a digital detox.
Who else is seeking peace, unity, and real-life connections over endless online battles this Christmas/holiday season?
Let’s hear it!
