Seems to me that I am to daily consider God's agenda for me and the world! I relate to prophetic news as it relates to blood bought believers! Not as I see satans agenda moving forward! A general awareness of the latter ie: satans agenda, holds nothing that beckons my focus! But I am made tired and grow ill of the monday morning quarterbacking of every news release which comes forward! I choose rather to press into God's word rather than worldy press releases! For the more I focus on Christ the fewer fears I have! Trying to analyze and second guess ramifications of the ever growing and visible evil, I become nauseated! GIGO! Garbage in, garbage out! Is there no one else seeing the pitfalls of this type of misplaced focus??? TR Dear Tenderreed, I hope your post is not directed at me. I am trying not to put up all the evil things that are happening in the news, just events that relate to end times. We are told to keep watch as we see the day approaching. If no one posts anything, this forum becomes rather sleepy. I don't want to offend anyone here. No one in particular, just a word to the wise I believe! I don't want to sensationalize evil, but merely be aware of the days we live in! It is I who am mindful of being a thorn! TR Doesn't the bible teach us upon what things we should cast our thoughts? TR We are to cast our thought on the Lord but we are also called to be Watchers and that is why we gather here. We watch and we analyze what we see and we discuss or at least make others aware of the events going on in the world as they pertain to the nearness of the Lord. We are hear to encourage each other and to pray for each other and to share our insights with each other of the things we read about and are witness to as we wait with bated breath the return of our Lord. That’s the whole purpose of this gathering of believers. Seeing the sickness of the world drives us closer to God and heightens our awareness of the nearness of our redemption.
