Signs Lost in Data - June 30, 2009

Good Tuesday morning! Plane crashes, troop pullbacks, war, bombings, weather, all valid headlines, all good to know about, but what is the lead story? Yup, Michael Jackson's will and children. Sometimes we seem to have a messed up list of priorities in our media news sources. Many people are more worried about a celebrity's will than the signs of the end in our world. With all of the information available to us these days, I fear that many will miss the signs in the crush of data that comes our way each day.

Speaking of signs, I heard about a town in Texas that had never experienced an earthquake, and then had 7 earthquakes in 5 days. I may have the 5 and 7 mixed around, but we have been warned about earthquakes in diverse places. This frightened me as a child. As an adult, I can read the whole context of that warning and realize that Jesus told us about the earthquakes as a sign, but not to worry because the end won't come immediately. We tend to see each sign not as a part of the process leading up to the end, but as a sign to sell the farm, write a will, and take off for the hills right now. We have much work to do before the end is here! However, we also must remember that Jesus will return soon.

Have a great workday with me talking about the end times and all. :-) You can tell your boss that I said the end times have arrived and that you need to go home and clean the house for Jesus' return. You never know, that might even work.
