Monday Morning Perspective

THE END began yesterday! It's a 4 week series on end times and I love that it's coming to us from the gospel of Mark. Yesterday was Signs of theTimes Mark 13:1-8 and we looked at 8 indicators of Jesus' return. 
Eddie reminded us of the need to be aware, informed and ready but not obsessed. We have work to do here and we need to be doing what God has called us to do. 
We were also challenged to be spiritually strong and doctrinally deep. Persecution will come and a shallow faith won't get it. 1John reminds us that many won't stand and will defect. As Eddie said, rain keeps many away from church and the sun keeps others away. Without a strong faith, we will never stand up under persecution. 
On a side note, thank you to so many who have been praying for and asking about my Dad. He came home from the hospital last week. He's lacking energy so continued prayers would be appreciated. All of the calls, texts, and cards have meant so much to all of us! Have a blessed week!
