Our world is truly changing and things look pretty desprate HOWEVER Christians know in Whom they trust, and Who holds their(yours & mine) lives. This is a time for Christians to make plans, prepare for action, teach the children like crazy, and understand with out a doubt and with no fear, that God is still in charge and He will, because He always has, take care of His own in times of struggle. We need to understand what might happen in the furture... this article was a good pointer and certainly gets one's attention. Now I would like to request Michael Spencer to write another article or a series, on just how Christians should prepare their hearts and the hearts of their families... to strengthen the believers to withstand the coming onslaught of our church traditions. Tevye, in "Fiddler on the Roof," was lovable and was concerned about their traditions but he was not pro active. I believe now is a time to get planning and preparing the believers.... but how??

Has the chicken come home to roost? I am often extremely disturbed by the lack of tolerance and compassion many self-professed Christians express towards people who may not believe exactly as they do.

He sounds almost hopeful. 10 years seems a little fast and maybe some parts of the country will match his apocalyptic vision (like our home area?). But it's hard to imagine the Southern Baptists and people like Rick Warren going away that fast. But certainly there are some seismic shifts happening. Interesting article though. Did you see David Wilkerson's statement last Saturday that the end is near for New York, Connecticut and beyond? <a href="http://davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com/2009/03/urgent-message.html" rel="nofollow">http://davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com/2009/03/u...</a> Wow.
