Yesterday

Yesterday I read of a couple who are no longer allowed to foster children. Their offence it seems was to refuse to deny their Christian faith. Unsuitable foster parents, so the court decided, a decision based of course around a statute, a part of English law.

Now, let me ask, "When is a foster parent suitable?" Do you have the answer? Now ask yourself, when is any parent suitable? How long do you think it will be before parents who refuse to deny their Christian faith are deemed unsuitable and their children taken away?

Think I'm dreaming?

Here's some old news. Jeremiah told the king and the people that they were to be taken into captivity because they had turned their backs on the Sovereign God of Heaven and Earth and worshipped other gods. The people did not believe him and some prophesied that the enemy would not prevail. The people went into captivity, just as God had said through His prophet.

The gods of this nation are numerous. There is a widespread denial of the true God, yet it's not too late for us.

For he says, "In the time of my favour I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favour, now is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2 (NIV)

After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God.
15 "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!" Mark 1:14-15 (NIV)

For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-- the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."Romans 10:12-13 (NIV)

It's time to seek the Lord until He comes and rains righteousness on us.
