Encouragement to Greater Commitment
by Michael Boldea, Jr.

As the time continues to march on, and the days of darkness approach swiftly, the children of God are stirred to action. It is not a political action or a paramilitary action, but the action of the heart. God's warning to those who would hear His voice is ever present. He continues to speak not to the world, because the world does not know Him. He speaks, that we who are sealed with the Holy Spirit, who are saved by His shed blood, may know the times and seasons and live accordingly.

As someone who lives no more than 20 miles from the Russian border, I see things from a different perspective. The fact that bitterness and contempt, if not outright hatred, against America is once again uniting Russia, is evident in young and old alike. When a man has nothing more to lose he becomes most dangerous. Poverty and hunger have become so rampant that most are willing to embrace anyone that will point out the light at the end of the tunnel. They will follow anyone that can find a remedy, and will promise them past glories.

Perhaps these things are not as evident in America, at least not yet. But according to what God has spoken, even when they see all the signs they will be passive. We, as children of God, can no longer afford to be passive. We can no longer afford to say, "There's always tomorrow." Today we must commit ourselves and our families to the cause of Christ. We must completely devote our lives to righteousness, only seeking those things which are of God. All the answers to every question we have had concerning past, present and future we will find in Him. All the things we are searching for we will find at the foot of the Cross. Live for Him, work diligently while it's still day, knowing that soon, dark days will come. May the grace of Christ inhabit your hearts, and may the blessings of God be poured over you and your's.

With love in Christ,
