Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16 KJV)

The one True God of Heaven is merciful, loving, compassionate and accessible. He always was, is and will be to those who are called by His Name unto His special purposes.  Access to God is free and open 24/7, with the usual qualifier – you must be born-again. The very fact that the majority of western Christian are unaware of the access and authority we have as believers, testifies to weak church leadership. This does not change the facts on the ground.

John 1:12 informs directly that “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name”. In other words, when we believe, we receive. In addition, we not only receive but He gives us the right, the power, the dynamic authority to approach Him. On top of all of this, the Holy Spirit Who abides in those who believe and receive, shows us how to pray and interprets our weak words before sending them to  Heaven.  Therefore, we above all, have the authority to pray for boldness in our prayers and daily lives and in all we do. Hebrews 4:16 encourages the following:
–  We must be aware of our position, as Children of God. So now it is simple -come on in. This involves us being proactive in prayer. Reject passivity as most believers do, and just do something – walk forward. Brief and to the point…..

WHO WILL STAND IN THE GAP?

The great and eloquent (!!) “wordsmith” Yogi Berra once said “a nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore” when he was at the 1955 opening of a new ice cream shop in the Bronx. The famed New York Yankee catcher from the “Hill” in St. Louis was lamenting, jokingly, the cost of a cone going up to 10 cents!

What else “ain’t worth a dime anymore”? When you think about the state of society and the future of our kids, it is enough to make a strong man shudder with fear and trembling. Do we really want our children to face what we know is a completely depraved and apostate society coming down the pike at us? We have no choice, unless End Time events spin out of control at warp speed, the anti-Christ is revealed and Jesus ends it all?

In the meantime, we have to live daily and plan and teach and guide our children. Now, more than ever, we have to teach the ways of the Lord with a more critical emphasis on Perseverance. This is the direction I sense the Lord leading me into. There is a strong Biblical reason for this. Jesus Himself says that “he who stands firm to the end, will be saved” (Matthew 24:13 NIV)!!!

What we’re seeing today is the acceleration of the “Falling Away” predicted by the Apostle Paul in 2 Thessalonians….or the Apostasy. An apostate is one who has once believed something of the Truth of God in Christ, but like the parable portion of the seed cast on hard ground, his faith never really took root to become real!

More and more, with this happening, the horrible thing is Scandal of the American church slide into oblivion! It is not just the current issue over gay so-called “marriage” which is exposing the weak underbelly of today’s so-called Christian leaders, but their entire modus operandi.
