How true! I used to have a card saing Romans 8:28 in my kitchen window, facing the sink, so that I would see it when I washed dishes. Unfortunately it got wet too many times and broke. I need to make me a new one. Thanks for your calm words. I am personally ready for our Lord's coming, but when I look at my children I start wishing for a few (60-70) more years for them to enjoy life. How foolish of me!
This was the kind of thinking that aborted the Jesus Movement 35 years ago, and cripples Christian witness to this very day.
Please reconsider your role as a volunteer cheerleader for the other team. In the 70s, everyone "KNEW" that global communism was antichrist's vehicle to power. Then when God miraculously took down that enemy of His, none of the 'prophecy teaching' crowd stopped to reconsider, to give Him glory. Instead, they immediately began looking for ANOTHER enemy to cower/grovel before.
Give thought to the possiblity that God could discredit Islam tomorrow -- and start befriending students from muslim nations.
