Are We Living in The Last Days?

Could ignorance of Biblical Truth and the failure to discern the seducing doctrines of false teachers be two of today’s chief pitfalls plaguing the Church? Are we living in the Last Days?

Could it be our failure to believe that the Bible is true and that it's neglect is the beginning of the great deception, the prelude to the final apostasy in these last days of the “Church age”.

It was Horatius Bonar, a great Saint of the past, who made the following statement in light of the epistle of Jude, “In some ages evil seems to sleep. In the last days it will awake to full life and activity. It will seize every instrument: the press, the pulpit, the platform.” Today evil has taken over the press; it has taken over the pulpit and the platform. Bonar continues; “It will enlist every science and art - music, sculpture, painting, portrait, philosophy-making them all subservient to its development. The multiplication of crimes, contempt of laws, blasphemies-these are the specimens of the energy of evil.”

In this day in which you and I live these are the things that fill our morning newspapers and are the focus of prime time Television news and “entertainment” programs. There is no use recounting ad nauseaum the things that are happening in our contemporary society. We are now in the midst of apostasy.

Is there a remedy? Why not share your thoughts.

How are you Identified?

Today many of us have been identified by our occupations. Oh he's an Engineer or she' works at WalMart, or my Husband has a Telemarketing business etc.But who are we really? Hopefully alive and well of course and as a good friend and Golf buddy would say before beginning the first round of 9 holes, "Better being topside than on the other alternative, eh Ken" And so it is.

However, as a Believer in Christ we are fully able to proclaim a new creation identity in Him, and are much more than what we do for a living than to be identified by our occupation only. It should be our pre- occupation that identifies us to stranger or family member alike.

Check out a short excerpt from an article on the subject at hand at:http://withchrist.org/MJS/identification.htm. Here you will find a wealth of TRUTH concerning yours and my true Identity.Come back and let's share some thoughts on this important topic after reading this article that encourages us as Believers to Live The Truth Today.
