HANG ON

A lot of people (especially ministers) lately are talking of the 2nd Coming of Christ. The signs are all around us. With oil prices going up and down, the US military fighting 2 wars -- Afganistan and Iraq, the bailouts and financial institutions collapsing, unemployment going higher and higher... the world governments were caught off guard. They have never seen anything like all of this before, and they are at a loss knowing not what to do to fix it all.

Personally I believe they should have left it all alone in the first place. Mankind's wisdom got us into this mess, and mankind needs God's wisdom to get us out of it. World governments are pouring their money and energy into the wrong solutions. They are not focused on what is really necessary to pull us out of this nose-dive... They are still worried about global warming and they still pursue foreign oil instead of our own oil resources.

The UN bickers amongst themselves about renovating their palacial headquarters in Europe at the cost of millions of dollars. It reminds me of the Tom Hanks movie "MONEY PIT". He and Shelly Long buy this nice looking house and begin to make what they thought were minor repairs. Before long, they have done everything but sold their souls to pay for the million dollar renovation.

What is the old saying...when you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on. Jesus is the only hope for this dying world, and the anti-christian world has rejected Him and His thoughts, wisdom, and principles.
