A God of Encouragement

We all are hard pressed to find reasons of encouragement these days. Our government has betrayed us in its quest to further strengthen the power of current class. It steals more and more every day to fund the socialist empire being built on the very backs of the people it seeks to oppress. There appears no relief in sight, in fact, it looks like things will get much worse. Why then, should we rejoice?

We rejoice because Christ, the great light of Isiah, has come and is King, and has been King for 2000 years. Today's church has lost focus on Christ's current Kingship and has instead adopted the flawed belief that the world is destined for self destruction and we as Christians can only hope we are 'taken up' before this happens. Scripture says Christ is King NOW and government rests on his shoulders NOW. Kingship is a political position and it's His current position. How then, can the world destroy itself if Christ is King?

We have opted for the belief that the church is a hospital for our sick souls and a safe haven until the rapture comes. Nothing could be farther from the truth! The church is a battle station, where our souls are strengthened and emboldened to posses what our King has victoriously secured from His Father because of His faithfulness!
