Our Necessary Partnership with God in Evangelism

The objective in evangelism according to John 16:8 is to partner with the Holy Spirit to “convict people of sin, righteousness and judgment.”

The Gospel is good news. It’s unbelievably amazing good news but it has horrifically bad news closely associated with it which should ALWAYS be emphasized in evangelism. The focal-point of the good news and the bad news is on the Day of Judgment. A billion years from now all that will matter is the Day you stood before the God of the universe, “from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away”, and whether you stood before Him in righteousness or unrighteousness. When it comes to an unregenerate (unsaved) person the ONLY issue is that Day. In evangelism, for the most part, the emphasis should not be on any natural (physical, emotional or material) blessing people would receive from God in this life by coming to Him. The urgency of the message is the fact that as a sinner the condemnation of God is upon them right now and if this does not change they will one Day stand guilty before God and be thrown alive into the lake of fire. (For the scriptural reality of this here are a few scriptures that you might not hear much from ministers these days: John 3:18-21 and 36. Romans 1:18, Colossians 3:6, 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). If we care at all about the lost we need to do what we can to first bring them to the realization of this dreadful condition they are in right now before God AND the end result of that condition on The Day of Judgment.

The sinner won’t appreciate the good news unless they first understand their current and future condition before God as a sinner. The good news is that God has graciously and sacrificially made the way for us to receive the forgiveness of all the debt we owe Him, through Jesus suffering the brutal punishment of our disobedience, and to give us the assurance of standing before Him in righteousness on the Day of Judgment. The love of God for an unbeliever is often wrongly communicated on an emotional level. For example “For God SO loved the world…” as if “so” emphasizes the intensity of God’s love for us. But “so” only means thus and should read “Thus God loved the world.” Thus is connected to verses 14 and 15 which refers to the judgment that came upon Israel for complaining against the Lord and the remedy God provided for His judgment. The judgment was not retracted but healing was provided for the plague that God sent on the people that came through Israel’s disobedience.

Numbers 21:5-8

5 And the people spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread.” 6 So the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died.

7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD and against you; pray to the LORD that He take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.

8 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.”

John 3:14-15

14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

It’s the Holy Spirit’s job to convict people of SIN and the need for RIGHTEOUSNESS offered by God in the context of the reality of the Day of JUDGMENT. It’s always important that all three realities are at work in a person’s life to effectively draw them to God. This is the goodness and the severity of God working together to effectively bring a person to God (Romans 11:22). I want to emphasize the fact that we CANNOT bring about this conviction, only the Holy Spirit can do this but we are required to do our part. Many, without referring to scripture assume that Holy Spirit will do this without our involvement or without the preaching of the Law and the Gospel but I am convinced that we should NEVER assume that this is the case. If we truly want to see people (especially loved ones and family members) come to Christ then it’s crucial that we play our part and unless we do the Holy Spirit is not likely to do His part.

The obvious example of this is the story of Cornelius in Acts 10. In this case the Law had already done its work. In verse 2 it says that Cornelius was a “devout man, and one that feared God with all his house.” All that was left was for a person to share the Gospel with them. The fact that neither God nor the angel did this emphasizes our need to present the Gospel to people. Verses 6, 22, and 32 emphasizes this. Peter preaches the Gospel and Holy Spirit showed up in power!!! If we want to see the power of God on this level then we are going to have to put at least as much emphasis on Peter’s example of preaching as we do our outreach programs to show our communities the “love” of God.

Look at part of what Peter preached to Cornelius and his family:

42 And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead (Judgment Day). 43 To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.” (The remission of sins is the same as the gift of righteousness)

Another great example is the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4. Jesus never directly addresses the issue of JUDGMENT with this woman but He does clearly address the issue of SIN and RIGHTEOUSNESS. The reason that Jesus does not address the issue of judgment is, like in Cornelius’ case, the reality of God’s judgment was common knowledge. In the book “John Wesley: A Biography” the author Stephen Tomkins talks about the perception that ordinary English people had of God in Wesley’s time (1703–1791).

“One thing to remember is the vast majority of them were as confident and unquestioning of the invisible reality of God, sin, judgment and the world to come as their descendants today are of the invisible reality of, for example, humans rights. Even the Kingswood populace “so ignorant of the things of God that they could only be compared to the beasts of the field” probably had a stronger sense of sin than many 21st-century Christians.”

From this statement we can see the urgent need for America and other parts of the Western world is the fear of the Lord which again consists of the knowledge of personal sin and the consequences of personal sin on the Day of Judgment. The Samaritan woman’s knowledge of these things would have been as real to her as the English people in Wesley’s time. But Jesus does point to her personal sin and her violation of the 7th Commandment (Adultery). Some would mention that this woman needed compassion because she had probably been tossed aside by her five husbands and I would agree. Jesus obviously showed compassion to her. Every attempt to reach out to the lost should be founded in compassion. But the unfortunate circumstances of this woman’s life does not cancel out the responsibility of her personal sin against God and the need (for her sake) to draw attention to it by the Law.

Notice how Jesus ministers to her:

13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

15 The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”

Jesus, moved with the motive of compassion draws this woman to Himself with the ultimate desire for anyone who labors and is heavy laden (Matthew 11:28). The thing that she desires is rest and that’s what Jesus is promising her. But today’s evangelism stops there, leads the sinner in a simple prayer; pope-ishly declares them to be saved and wonders why their discipleship program isn’t working when 90% of all the “converts” slip off the church’s radar. It’s amazing to me how many churches claim hundreds or thousands of salvations in a years time but can’t claim even one miracle on the level of the miracles of the book of Acts. The proof that people were saved in the first century of the church were not those who made a decision to follow Jesus but those who were added to regular attendance, fellowship and teaching (Acts 2:41-42). At this point Jesus moves on to do something that many Christians would never consider doing. He highlights this woman’s personal sin.

16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

17 The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.”

Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”

19 The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”

Her response? Awkward at first but soon she becomes Samaria’s first evangelist!

28 The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, 29 “Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” 30 Then they went out of the city and came to Him.

Because of the balance between the goodness and the severity of God this woman became someone who not only responded to Jesus’ offer of rest but became someone who bore fruit for God.

Jonathan Edwards in his sermon Natural Men In a Dreadful Condition said:

“They (the sinner) have nothing on which to depend for conversion. They have nothing in the world, by which to persuade themselves that they shall ever be converted. Left to themselves, they never will repent and turn to God. If they are ever converted, therefore, it is God who must do it. But they have no promise of God, that they ever shall be converted. They do not know how soon they may die. God has not promised them long life; and he has not promised them that they shall be ready for death before they die. It is but a peradventure, whether God will ever give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth. 2 Tim. 2:25. Their resolutions are not to be depended on. If they have convictions, they are not to be depended on; they may lose those convictions. Their conversion depends on innumerable uncertainties. It is very uncertain, then, whether they will be converted before they die.”

An unsaved person has nothing in them that can enable them to come to God or come to their senses about their need for God. On top of this there are so many other things working against them to prevent them from coming to the place of repentance. Jesus Himself said that “With men it (salvation) is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” Jesus said this in light of a rich young man who had just rejected eternal life because he could not cooperate with the terms that Jesus required. These days the biggest obstacle to people coming to Christ is us – the so-called Christians. Whether it’s that we will not preach the Gospel at all or our message is weak and un-Biblical OR we choose a “superior” way than what God has prescribed. Not to mention the countless people that have been declared saved without any evidence that they ever were genuinely saved.

What chance do the unsaved have in America?

17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: 18 When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. 19 Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

20 “Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand. 21 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.” Ezekiel 3:17-21

Ecumenacism: The Subtle Deception

We live in a day where we as Americans have more access to the Word of God than ever before. We have a myriad of translations to make it easy for us to understand. We don’t have to settle for the old-fashioned leather-bound Bible any more. You can read the Bible on your phone or on your digital bookreader. You can have the Bible read to you from your car stereo or on your iPod while your exercising. You can get daily devotionals in your email inbox. You can download free mp3 sermons from most any ministry web site. And yet for all this many American Christians are more disconnected and distant from the truths of God’s Word than ever before!

Many today surround themselves with preachers who will tell them how much God loves and values them and wants them to be a success in life but never mention our responsibility to holiness. They encourage positive outlooks and confessions to get what they want without any regard for obedience to God. I sometimes wonder how many pages we’d have to tear out of the Bible just so Christians of today could ignore a primary subject of the Word of God like Biblical suffering.

Our ignorance of the Bible has contributed to extra-biblical practices that are not scriptural at all and a blatant disregard for obvious commands that Christ has given to those who consider themselves disciples and followers of Jesus. Even many of those who are students of the Bible today regard certain passages of scripture as irrelevant because they don’t seem to fit into modern ideas of what a Christian is. But God’s intention has always been that He would have His own special people, separate from the world, accomplishing His will in the earth without any kind of partnership with the world, false religions or even so called Christians who disregard sound doctrine (1 Peter 2:9-10, Exodus 8:23). But I believe that God is raising up those who would tremble at His Word. I believe He is calling the body of Christ back to zeal for His Word (Psalm 119:137-144, Psalm 66:2).

Jesus Himself said:

“Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”

So even if we are guilty of breaking the least important principle in the Bible and teach others to do the same we will be called least in the Kingdom of God. But if we regard the least important aspects of God’s Word, do them and teach them we will be called great in God’s eyes.

There’s a movement in the Church today that seems Biblical but will be a major contributor to deception in the last days and yet many Christians embrace it as being from God. It’s an ecumenical movement that embraces across denominational lines and many times even as far as other religions. In the name of the love of God church leaders are finding common ground with those who preach a false Gospel or a false grace. For example official Catholic doctrine teaches that an initial grace is given by God for salvation but there are other graces that we can and are supposed to merit for ourselves. But the Bible makes it clear that salvation is a gift from God and we can never do anything to merit anything from Him ever! (Rom 11:6, Rom 4:2-6). Everything outside of this unacceptable!

As an example here’s an excerpt from the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

2010 Since the initiative belongs to God in the order of grace, no one can merit the initial grace of forgiveness and justification, at the beginning of conversion. Moved by the Holy Spirit and by charity, we can then merit for ourselves and for others the graces needed for our sanctification, for the increase of grace and charity, and for the attainment of eternal life. Even temporal goods like health and friendship can be merited in accordance with God’s wisdom. These graces and goods are the object of Christian prayer. Prayer attends to the grace we need for meritorious actions. Link

The Apostle Paul shows us how serious this is. In Galatians 1:6-9 he addresses a community of believers who had begun their relationship with God on the right foot. They had been saved solely by the grace of God but then quickly began to try to earn approval from God by their own effort.

I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

In Galations 3:1-4 Paul continues his harsh yet justifiable criticism:

O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?

If we take this passage of scripture seriously (like we should all of scripture) this alone should affect our relationships with people, who we do ministry with and who we endorse as legitimate ministers of the Gospel. But how do we relate to those who call themselves Christians and yet preach a different Gospel or who persist in error and sin? Do we begin to completely ignore them? Paul gives us the answer in 2 Thessalonians 3:14-15 .

14 And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

This isn’t about an “I’m right and you’re wrong” attitude. This isn’t about breaking relationship with those in error but changing the relationship to one of admonition. For example you could say to a brother (or one who calls himself a brother) in error “Hey, I love you and I’d love to get together with you so we can talk. I believe you are in error and I want to reason with you about this.” Obviously some will cooperate but many will be offended and fall deeper into deception. But this is the biblical way of handling these things.

Look at 1 Corinthians 5:9-13:

9 I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. 10 Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.

12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”

Distancing ourselves from a person who calls himself a brother in Christ and is in error is primarily for the purpose of obeying God but it’s also for the benefit of the brother in error. If we continue a relationship with people who are deceived in the name of love as if the deception didn’t exist we are doing them a great disservice because we are contributing to their deception. By taking the seal of approval off of them we create the best environment for them to repent and connect and or reconnect with God.

In Matthew 18:15-17 Jesus also addresses the issue of a brother who refuses to receive correction:

15 “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’ 17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.

When we are in relationship with someone who calls themselves a Christian but are practicing sin or are teaching destructive doctrine they need to be corrected. If they refuse correction our relationship with them changes. Jesus says to “let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.” We don’t hate, mistreat or even ignore them but our relationship with them becomes one of admonition and not fellowship.

I end this article with 1 Timothy 6:3-5. The apostle Paul says:

“If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.”

Why I Don’t Believe the Rapture Will Happen Before the Tribulation or on May 21st 2011

There’s a group of Christians out there that believe that Jesus is coming back on May 21, 2011. They also call this day Armageddon or the end of the world. Click here if you want more information about them. Most people who claim to be Christians in America don’t take the Bible at face-value which makes them susceptible to false doctrines and harmful beliefs. The Bible makes it very clear that we won’t know the specific day of Jesus’ return and even though the current world system will end – the earth itself will remain forever (Ecclesiastes 1:4).

I’m very concerned about the disappointment that these people are more than likely going to experience as this day comes and goes. You might say “More than likely!? Do you actually believe the rapture could happen on May 21st?” and I would say “Yes.” But a lot would have to happen between now and then. Jesus is not going to return for a bride that is not longing for His return and I would say that most Christians today would say that they love Jesus but they are not longing for His return.

Look at Matthew 24:29-39

29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

32 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

In this passage Jesus references four measurements of time. An hour and a day (vs. 36), a season (vs. 32) and a generation (vs 34). He clearly says that no one can know the specific day or hour of His return (vs. 36). This alone should be enough to make anyone run from someone who claims that he knows the specific day of Jesus’ return. Jesus did actually rebuke the religious leaders for not recognizing the SEASON of His visitation (Matthew 16:3). There are obvious passages in the Old Testament that show the timing of the first coming of Jesus precisely enough that the religious leaders should have known that Jesus was Who he said He was (Daniel 9:25-26) but the prophecy was not so accurate as to predict the specific day.

I do believe that our generation is the generation that will see the return of Jesus but there are a few things that are clear indicators that this will not happen in our immediate future. One is the falling away or the great apostasy and the second is the revealing of the man of sin or the antichrist.

This is referred to in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4:

1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

So the first event that has to happen before the Day of Christ or our gathering together to Him will not occur until there is a massive, recognizable exodus of so-called believers from the faith. This is called the Great Apostasy. There has always been apostasy in the world on some level but the falling away referred to here will be the most notable rebellion against Biblical Christianity the world has ever seen. And this will happen before Jesus comes!

The second event that will happen before Jesus comes is the antichrist will be revealed. Now this goes against the theology of most Christians because most believe that the Second Coming and the Rapture are two separate events. They believe that the Rapture will happen before the antichrist is revealed and the second Coming will happen after he is revealed. But trying to prove this scripturally is like trying to put the pieces of a puzzle together with the wrong image in mind.

Now look at Numbers 10:1-8

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “Make two silver trumpets for yourself; you shall make them of hammered work; you shall use them for calling the congregation and for directing the movement of the camps. 3 When they blow both of them, all the congregation shall gather before you at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 4 But if they blow only one, then the leaders, the heads of the divisions of Israel, shall gather to you. 5 When you sound the advance, the camps that lie on the east side shall then begin their journey. 6 When you sound the advance the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall begin their journey; they shall sound the call for them to begin their journeys. 7 And when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but not sound the advance. 8 The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and these shall be to you as an ordinance forever throughout your generations.

The main thing I want you to get out of this is that the trumpet was used to gather the congregation (vs. 3) and that this is an ordinance forever (vs. 8).

When you read through the book of Revelation you will notice that there are three sets of judgments that God sends on the earth or more specifically the antichrist and his followers. Each set of judgments consist of seven actual judgments. The first set is the seal judgments, the second set is the trumpet judgments and the last set is the bowl judgments. Each judgment gets more and more severe as they go. So, the 7th seal judgment is the last seal judgment. The seventh trumpet judgment is the last trumpet judgment and the seventh bowl judgment is the last bowl judgment. I know this sounds over-simplified but I’m going somewhere. I’m going to tell you the exact SEASON that Jesus is coming for His Bride.

Look at 1 Corinthians 15:51-52:

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

(This is also referenced in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). Jesus is coming for us at the last Trump or the seventh trumpet judgment!

The whole idea of a pre-tribulation rapture is only about 100 years old. There is no reference to this idea throughout church history. Early Church fathers believed in what’s called a pre-wrath rapture. They believed that we would go through most of the Tribulation but God would take the Body of Christ out of the way just before He brought the severest and final judgments on the antichrist and his followers through the seven final judgments called the Bowl judgments. This Day is also called the Day of Christ which is when we as Christians will be judged by Jesus at the Bema Seat judgment or when we are “gathered together” 2 Thessalonians 2:1) where we will receive our rewards for what we did in the body as believers in Christ.

The Bema Seat Judgment or Day of Christ is referred to in 1 Corinthians 3:12-15

12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

Can you imagine the excitement and anticipation the Body of Christ world-wide will experience after the sixth trumpet judgment? Can you imagine the unity of expectation that believers all over the world will share as we look for the eminent return of Jesus. We still won’t know the day or the hour but we’ll know at any moment Jesus WILL return!

Look at it this way – would it have made sense for Moses to say “God, I don’t want to go to Egypt and partner with you in bringing judgment on Egypt and Pharaoh. You take care of it and I’d appreciate it if you would just bring me home to Heaven right now.” This is the kind of thinking the Church has succumbed to – but the Tribulation period is the greatest time in the history of the world for the church of Jesus Christ! We are going to partner with God through intercession to bring about judgment on the end-time pharaoh (the antichrist). It’s completely unbiblical to think that God is going to remove every single representative (Christian) of His from the earth in one Day and then carry out His will in the earth without anyone to partner with. God has never done this. Throughout history God has always had people in the earth that He used to bring about His will in the earth.

So then rather than looking for the escape route I challenge you to gear up for the greatest and yet most terrible time this world has ever seen. Remember Jesus rebuked the religious leaders for not knowing the sign of the times they were living in and it’s clear to me that we are the generation that Jesus was referring to in Matthew 24:34 “Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.”

I urge you – don’t be caught off guard!
