I wish our faith alone could turn the tide, but like a great pendulum swinging back, most will be swept away in this world.
How about believing the Lord’s promises, that faith will open up a way? Your faith is one thing you do have a control over the measure of, as you exercise it.
Nobody promised easy. But even in the worst instance, for those who physically perish, they shall actually pass into the Lord’s reward.
Instead of saying “But” to the Lord’s promises on account of earthly opposition, how about saying “But” to earthly opposition on account of the Lord’s promises. That is what opens up the power that comes by faith.
