Looking back is yearning for calmer, simpler days before all the troubles that came with the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. “No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62 KJV). Why so harsh? Jesus was speaking to someone, who had just said, “Lord, I will follow Thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house” (9:61). Instead of rejoicing about another potential convert, Jesus warned him about turning back— even for the slightest or greatest reason. Why? Because God knows better that we are either all or nothing at all for Him. Trifle not with your decisions. We will not be caught unawares, when the LORD blows His Trump to call us up hither into His Presence. We are not madmen to think this world is falling apart under our feet, unless we are at home in Sodom. LORD, come quickly. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
Apostasy
Radical Goodness
“The believer must act as a counterweight and counterforce to an apostate and darkened civilization. In the face of a radically evil culture, the believer must become radically good.” The Josiah Manifesto: The Ancient Mystery & Guide for the End Times by Jonathan Cahn. A counterweight opposes the wickedness of the current evil age. It will be hated by man, but loved by God. May God give us the courage needed to let our light shine. We will embolden others around us to Radical Goodness. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16 KJV).
