Thickening Clouds of Terror

Preached May 16, 2004. The parallels between the church of Judah and the church in America (and many other parts of this world) are frightening. Isaiah warned about "influences from the east," "being filled with silver and gold," and "being filled with idols." If this does not reflect much of the church in our day I do not know what does. The warning of the prophet is that the Day of the Lord is coming like a growing storm on the horizon. Our hope is in Isaiah's vision of Mt. Zion. Will we repent of our ways and return to Zion or will we try to out last God's storm? If you are concerned about God's church in our day, this message should not be passed up.
