End of Times?

I heard yesterday morning on the View an interesting thing...

Apparently the end of the world is coming soon! May 21 to be exact. I couldn't help but giggle a little, because I am pretty certain no one will know when Christ will come back, not even the Son; only the Father (Mathew 24).

However, lately, that's all I seem to hear from my fellow Christians, "It's the end of the world. What are we gonna do!?" EXACTLY! What are YOU gonna do?

In Mathew 5:14 Jesus calls us to be the "light of the world." So, if satan is the darkness in this world (2Corinthinans 4:4), and we are to be the light (because when Jesus left to go back to the Father, he called us to be the light - as mentioned above), THEN GET OVER THE "END OF TIMES", wake up and realize WE ARE NOT CALLED TO SAY, OH NO! Rather we're called to work harder!

So what if it is the "end of times"... I seem to recall that 2 Timothy 3:1-5 defines the end of times by the people, not by the natural disasters. In those days we won't be weary of  the tornadoes, floods, and hurricanes around us, rather the people around us who WE WERE CALLED TO BE A LIGHT UNTO, NOW!!!

It's time to pull out our scriptures about love; its time to stop nit picking those who get it right (for example, Rob Bell, in his book "Love Wins" ---- amazing BOOK!), because after all its usually those who are persecuted much who God has called to see HIS TRUTH....(as stated in John 15:19-21).

We need a reality check fellow Christians... we need to open our eyes!

And... when it is the END, it will just be the beginning, so there is absolutely no fear in those who fear the lord (Psalm 115:11).

Revelation 21:24 (NLT) says The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the world will enter the city in all their glory.

God is good and He will deliver us. So put back on your hearts, step up to what you're called to do and Be the Light unto this dark, sad, distraught world.

I am gonna leave you with this profound video a friend introduced me to, I hope you find conviction, as I have!
