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.
