Many Christians in America predict the judgement of God coming down on our government and people. They reason that God has to punish us or apologize to Sodom and Gomorah. Maybe they are right, maybe not. I have not yet heard of an entire town in America surrounding one home and wanting to sodomize a guest (see Genesis 19).
Whether their ominous predictions prove to be true or not, we live in perilous times. Believers in other counties are being tortured, their children kidnapped and sold for sex trafficking. I grieve for those believers. And, quite frankly, it scares me.
Peter writes that dangerous times magnifies the importance of believers needing to show hospitality to one another, minister to one another and be good stewards of the gifts God has given us (1 Peter 4:8-11). Let’s determine not to frighten each other with predictions of gloom. Instead let’s look for ways to minister hope and loving support to fellow believers, and pray fr the persecuted church.
