Title Age (Luke 12:54-56)
Contents
How negative are people? It is said that even if you do well nine times, if you do it wrong once, it is sad. Do you know who Abraham was? The man who lied to his wife as his sister. Moses was the man who killed a man and buried him in the ground. Peter was the man who denied the Lord three times. Paul was the one who took the lead in arresting and imprisoning all who believed in Jesus and killing them. Nevertheless, they are the people God used, and they are not worth seeing in the sight of God. In our lives today, no matter what the past is, whatever the present, or what the future will be, no matter what faults and mistakes we have, if we repent before God and come to God, it is natural that God will see us as a waste of time. I bless you in the name of the Lord that you will live a life that is not worth it to look at it.
Matthew 6:24 “No man can serve two masters; either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other, for ye cannot serve both God and riches.” Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say to you, do not worry for your life what you will eat or drink or about what you will wear for your body, is it not the life that matters more than food, and the body more than clothes?” 2 Timothy 3:1-2 Know this, that the times of suffering will come in the last days, when people will love themselves, love money, be proud, proud, slanderers, disobedient to their parents, unthankful, unholy.” 1 Timothy 6:10 “The love of money is the root of all evil. Those who longed for this have been deceived, and have turned away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.” Do not be deceived by impossible gains. Because eating out. The essence and the phenomenon are different. In this age we live in, there are many disasters for humans. Through today's message, we want to receive grace together with what the Bible says about the disasters for this age.
1. There is a disaster caused by money.
If you relax a little, you are very happy, but you do not feel as happy as you do. You have to be conscious and not only look at the family, but also the country as well. The national economy needs wisdom.
2. This age is bringing natural disasters.
Nature is a good and beautiful thing, and now it is bringing disaster. Yellow Dust Phenomenon - Not only dust, but also bad things are buried along with it. Pollution of water and air, mad cow disease, bird flu, sesame seeds all night long, eggs all night... Even if we can't do anything, we want to know and live with eyes that can discern the times. Matthew 24:3-8 “When Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him in silence, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the world? Beware that no one will deceive you, for many will come in my name, saying, "I am the Christ," and will deceive many. You will hear wars and rumors of wars, but beware and fear not. This nation will rise against the kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places; all these are the beginning of calamities.”
3. This is an age in which we live under a fatal threat to our health.
Although medicine is advancing like that, diseases are so prevalent that medicine cannot keep up. The geriatric disease, which had only occurred in the elderly, is now being called a modern disease again as a geriatric disease. Let's not neglect even the smallest things, control our food, exercise healthily, and live without stress.
4. This age is the age of severe spiritual danger.
Matthew 12:43-45 “When an unclean spirit goes out from a person, it goes through waterless places, seeking rest, but finds nothing. Then he said, “I will return to my house from which I came.” When he came, he saw that the house was empty, cleaned and repaired. They bring in seven more evil spirits and dwell in them, and the person's future condition will be worse than before. And it will be like this with this evil generation.” The devil is not to touch the children of God. However, regardless of whether they are children of God or not, because their time is short, they try to deceive even the chosen ones and make them children of perdition. It is a time of confusion. 1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober and watchful, your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” Ephesians 6:11 “Put on the full armor of God to be able to resist the schemes of the devil.”
I hope that you know that what you have is enough and live your life with gratitude and effort. Let's love and cherish the nature God has given us, and live together with nature as friends. Let's leave everything to God and live with thanksgiving and prayer. I pray in the name of the Lord that you will lead a life of faith that is victorious in spirit and body under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
* Do you know how to discern this age? What kind of person should we be when we look at the great catastrophes that are approaching mankind? Let's pray that the counsel of the Lord will give you the wisdom to evade and stop. (Rev. Jang Gyeong-dong)
