The times are good, The times are bad
Goodness is evident in the lives of those who truly know God and the marvelous grace of his salvation through Jesus Christ, the Lord. The times, no matter how turbulent, hold hope and victory in this life and in life to come.
Evil is also very evident in the world with wars and rumors of wars growing ever worse, as proclaimed in the bible. The battle between good and evil continues among nations and as the Apostle Paul self-revealed, in our own personal lives.
The only way I know to effectively contribute in a positive way to the side of good in the world is to win the battle that rages in our own hearts. Lives given to Jesus, the prince of Peace, and then committed to walk in obedience to him will do their part in adding to the battle for good in the world.
Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any people. Christian people must not be seduced by secular relativism and political correctness. Satan is the great deceiver who comes to us with subtle temptations, wrapped in good sounding lies. His interest is to rob us of the power of our witness for Christ.
The ultimate victory belongs to Christ, the side of good. Our personal victory for good in Christ will be used by him in ushering in this victory.
"Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven".
