A Warning? Indeed.

In this present time and age, there is a war that rages in the unseen realm of the spirit. The outcome of this war has already been decided, even before the first word of creation. But even though its outcome is sure, this war still rages with fierceness and great force. The enemy of God is sometimes base and carnal, oftentimes hateful and mean, and yet many times eloquent and charming. This war rages all around us and is mostly unnoticed. But it claims innumerable casualties in its swath.

Just why the King of the Universe has waited so long to bring the final battle is a mystery, but all who desire life eternal cannot wait until later. The King beckons all who will hear to come and enjoin themselves to Him and His kingdom by faith alone. Time is quickly dissipating. Tomorrow is today. All the endless discussions and all the ceaseless doctrinal games must soon come to an abrupt end, and with their end will come THE end. The day and minute is beyond our knowing, but the shadow of the cloud that signals His coming darkens the entire earth.

The church has long since been uninterested in speaking about His coming, and she is now content with dissertations designed to help us be us and not look for Him. Be assured that He comes again. Grace will be sorely tested in the lives of millions, and if God should draw the redemptive line just a little more narrow than is now believed, how many will fail of that grace? A warning? Indeed.

Tomorrow may never come. Today may be tomorrow.
