In light of the shooting in Orlando that killed 50 people, 2 Timothy 3:1 comes too mind, “But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come”. Another verse that gives the reason, Revelation 12:12 Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time.” The Bible is very clear on the fact that the world and life is going to get worse and worse. People often ask why God doesn’t stop it. He will, it is called the Second Coming of Christ”. You can read all about it in the book of Revelation.  I am preaching through the New Testament books of 1 & 2 Thessalonians and this coming weekend I will be teaching on 1 Thessalonians 1:10  “wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.” That sounds so good, “rescues us from the wrath to come”. I believe without a doubt that is what He is going to do for me. In the midst of all the craziness  going on I have a very real hope, a deep peace, and a strong sense of urgency to pray for people to understand the gospel, and to share the gospel with as many as will listen to me.
