It can’t be a passive thing like an amusement park ride, or rather we shall find we have a chance to take active power in it, like riding a wild bull.

The Lord expects no less.

I see signs of the Holy Spirit getting uncorked across the nation at the same time as great evil gets uncorked. When the power of darkness comes in like a flood, the Lord shall raise a standard. But this promise requires the premise, the same as the Lord preparing a table for us in the presence of our enemies.

We are all sinners. For believers this mortal coil is a hall of redemption. That requires great action if we are going to want a great reward.

I wish our faith alone could turn the tide, but like a great pendulum swinging back, most will be swept away in this world.

Your words remind me of the show, “Lost.”. We know that was about Purgatory, but in reality (and, consistent with the Protestant's perspective), our Purgatory is “now.”
