August 4 “OUR HOPE for TOMORROW” Isaiah 5:20
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20)
On this day, August 4, 2024, we awaken to a world that is troubled and decaying, and an entitlement attitude and expectation levels that are unsustainable. Evil is rampant and attitudes and morals (basic standards of behavior and civility) are rapidly becoming unrecognizable to anyone with a secure moral foundation that is a product of a relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ! That which is “Right,” is deemed “Wrong,” and that which is Truth, is declared a “Lie,” and the Evil continues to grow! Men declaring that they are women, women claiming to be men, political corruption, twisted attitudes of justice and morality, children being exposed to perverted displays of depravity and society battling to make it acceptable and commonplace behavior, and there are those who speculate on what has gone wrong. On an International stage, the Paris Olympics tolerating, and promoting this twisted ideology of Evil! “Let not your hearts be troubled!!!” This is the Divine Plan of God, as He prepares to fulfill His Promises and His Plans for Humanity! Be assured, My Jesus is coming back, and when He does, all of this brand of thought and behavior will finally come to an end! This kind of attitude and behaviors will continue, and grow worse, until Jesus returns to claim His Church! Get Ready, Be Prepared, Seek Jesus, Claim His Grace and Love, and Armor-up for the battle (we are engaged in a battle, daily), and get your Spiritual House in order! It will not be long, and Jesus is coming again! Let me repeat this: JESUS IS COMING AGAIN!!! I have HOPE for TOMORROW, not because of this World, but because of HIS LOVE and HIS AMAZING and SAVING GRACE! I have POWER to LIVE, SHARE, and OVERCOME the INSANITY of this present AGE, and THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, and so do you!!! Share HIS Love with others and continue to Serve Him!! Stay Strong, Stay Focused… THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
P.S. Recently, I was made aware that I have written words of truth that have offended some. The accusations of prejudice and bias and, one even went so far as to say that I was “Spreading Hate Speech!” Unfortunately, those who believe that I am speaking “Hate,” do not understand “Truth!” When one does not have a standard to judge their behaviors, and simply does what “Feels Good,” or is “Politically Correct,” at that moment, then, I can see where they would consider the Truth of God’s Word to be offensive! The Holy Scriptures informs us that the World will “Hate” the Believer and will attempt to silence the Message of the Good News of the Atoning Grace of Jesus Christ! If I have offended you, I am sorry! If you are offended by the “Truth,” of God’s Holy Word, that is your personal issue, and I am praying that God will open your eyes to experience the “Truth” of His Love and Living!
