I've also heard the Billy Graham quote and it's a good reminder.<br />Thanks for sharing!Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289456727508305342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-7115716874015456512022-02-22T10:37:32.145-08:002022-02-22T10:37:32.145-08:00A very powerful post and very true.

This world is doing everything it possibly can to mask the truth and to put God and His Word down as meaningless. It is a time to stand up tall and remember who we are, God's adopted children. He is with us and will never forsake us. His promises are true and His love is great and everlasting. We are children of the King of Kings, the creator of the universe, the Savior of our souls. <br /><br />Nancy, your posts are so encouraging, thank you.<br /> Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-29261696652625845652022-02-22T07:28:33.676-08:002022-02-22T07:28:33.676-08:00A beautifully written post Nancy!

I think there are areas where the rhetoric is more loud. Here, where we live, there is a great concentration of people who love the Lord, and are not ashamed to be Christian. I am grateful for that. But, we know, as scripture tells us, the days are coming when it won't be so. I believe those days aren't far away. May the Lord give all of us boldness for the kingdom, and to share the gospel without fear. This world needs to hear not just of the love of Christ, but of the justice of God too. They go hand-in-hand. God bless you dear Nancy!

ES DIFICIL A VECES SOPORTAR TANTA PRESION, ACUMULAR TANTOS MALES QUE NOS HACEN, ¿HASTA CUANTO PUEDE SOPORTAR UN CRISTIANO? VIVIMOS EN UN BARRIO MUY EGOISTA, DONDE NO EXISTE EL RESPETO POR LAS PERSONAS MAYORES, PERSONAS DISCAPACITADAS ECT. TRATAMOS CON MI FAMILIA DE ENFOCARNOS EN CRISTO Y SOPORTAR LAS AFLICCIONES, JESUS MISMO NOS DICE: EN ESTE MUNDO TENDREIS AFLICCIONES...... COMO BIEN DICE BETSY, AMIGA FIEL Y BLOGUERA, SEÑALES HAY DE LA PRONTA VENIDA DE NUESTRO SALVADOR JESUS, QUE NO SE TARDE.

A lot of people were afraid to bring up politics or religion in social settings but now they keep religion out of it but politics seems to be the main focus.<br />Thanks for sharing sweet friend. xoxoJunkchiccottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312068546640480844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-13292202360715860712022-02-21T12:40:21.960-08:002022-02-21T12:40:21.960-08:00Yes, I do believe you are right my friend.

The rampant evil and turning away from God throughout the world is foretold. The increase in natural disasters and weather phenomenon is increasing exponentially. <br />I pray with all of my heart that I'm a righteous woman, fit to be taken with Him.<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-20895384834424517162022-02-21T09:32:21.779-08:002022-02-21T09:32:21.779-08:00The other side of the coin is that many unChristia...The other side of the coin is that many unChristian things are being done by people who call themselves Christians.
