What can we expect from the people and cultures while waiting for Christ's return?
If you are like me, you have been around prayer all your life but have never been taught how to pray. There is no simple how-to or structured process taught by any of the institutions where it is beneficial to hold such a training course. Prayer is our most potent weapon, after all. Amazingly, so few know how to use it.
Jesus gives us precise instructions on how to pray. Let's review them.
What is one of the hallmarks of a well-grounded Christian? A grateful heart.
According to Meriam-Webster, grateful means: appreciative of benefits received or, put another way, pleasing by reason of comfort supplied or discomfort alleviated.
What does it mean to be grateful?
It doesn't seem to matter where you live today, governments and the general population seem to be turning against Christians. Any other religion is mostly tolerated, but not Christianity.
In the United States, Christianity is largely mocked by those in places of influence. This movement has gone world-wide in the last 2 decades.
What are we supposed to do as Christians when governments start to make policies and laws that are against the Bible and God's commands?
It's difficult to go through your life and forget to go to work. You have a job to do so that you can make it through life. The bible is filled with verses that warn against not working and being lazy. Do you know what your job is as a citizen of Heaven if you are saved? You are an ambassador! It is your job to get as many people to become citizens as you can before you are called home. How have you been doing at your job?
How are we, as Christians, supposed to approach people that want nothing but what is evil? The world seems to become more and more evil by the hour.
It is of utmost importance that as you travel down the path of studying end times prophecy (eschatology) that you never lose your focus on your job to make disciples. Our job as Christians is first and foremost, the Great Commission - Matthew 28:19-20.
