In
times like this, we need a Shepherd! We don't know all the
hazards ahead, but He does! We can't escape this corrupt world system,
but He is our refuge in its midst! And He will surely lead His flock
to peace and safety -- no matter how fierce the storms ahead!
Two unseen forces are fast at work. God's Word describes them well:
1.
"...the whole world is under the sway of the evil one."
1 John 5:19
2. But our Shepherd says,
"Surely,
as I have thought, so it shall come to pass, and as I have
purposed, so it shall stand." Isaiah 14:24
Sometimes we seem to be caught
in the middle -- but we're not. Those who belong to Him can trust
Him for victory -- long before we see the results. That's why we
can say with confidence:
"O
our God... we have no power against this great multitude that
is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes
are upon You." 2 Chronicles 20:12
Then, with our "eyes" on Him, we
press on toward the goal He has set before us!
We don't know how
long we will be able to post articles that expose the many facets
of today's global "change." Like other websites threatened by planned
government restrictions on Internet communication, our old site --
www.crossroad.to
-- may sooner or later be shut down. You can find more information at
www.crossroad.to.
I'm so glad "our times are in [His] hands!" (Psalm 31:15)
Meanwhile, we are preparing
this new website. We have already copied most of the encouraging
Scriptures,
testimonies, stories, books and Bible studies from ww.crossroad.to,
and we have fixed many of the links.
In "the Sermon on the Mount"
-- one of the Bible's best loved messages -- Jesus compares two
kinds of foundations:
unyielding rock versus "shifting sand." The first leads to
unshakable peace and certainty, the other leads to
disillusionment and
destruction.
As the storms around us grow increasingly fierce,
our foundations will surely be tested. But those who
follow the Shepherd and stand on His Word will be
safe with Him -- both now
and forever!
By His grace alone,
Andy and Berit
