Let’s stop wringing our hands over militant Islam, communist China, and all other looming threats. Our inflammatory rhetoric does not help, neither does our anxiety. The world’s present problems are primarily theological. Governments do not have a clue of how to solve theological problems. Messiah has the answer. Have we no confidence in the faithfulness of the Holy Spirit and the power of the Gospel? Jesus will build His church (Matt 16:18)! God is at work in our world! Believe in Messiah and cease the hand-wringing doubt! Trust God in all things!
“They set your sanctuary on fire; they profaned the dwelling place of your name, bringing it down to the ground. They said to themselves, ‘We will utterly subdue them”; they burned all the meeting places of God in the land’…Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.” Psalm 74:7-8 &12 (ESV)
