makes me wonder...

i'm watching all of the natural disasters we're covering--volcanic eruption, mudslides, earthquake, famine, disease, war, pestilence...with the scourging the earth is taking, makes me wonder if it's really the labor pains and the groanings of the beginning of the end.

1 thess 5 talks about this--

¹Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, ²for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. ³While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

⁴But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. ⁵You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. ⁶So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled. ⁷For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. ⁸But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. ⁹For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

as we believe the Bible is true, we must think on these things and ponder their implications...if we are followers of Christ, we are put here not only to glorify the Father, but also to be salt and light...

as the earth travails, what more should we do to be more than a lump in the pew? will the stuff matter in the end?
