Jesus warned us about this….
September 13, 2018
BIBLE MEDITATION:
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Matthew 24:21
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
General Omar Bradley said this about our generation:
• We know more about war than about peace.
• We know more about killing than about living.
• This is our 20th Century’s claim to progress – knowledge of science outstrips capacity for control.
• We have too many men of science, too few men of God.
• The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience.
• We are a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.
I think he said a mouthful. Jesus said there’s coming a time like never before seen in history – the Great Tribulation. You think of all of the war, all of the famines, heartaches, sickness, the atrocities that had taken place from Adam to Jesus, but Jesus said there's coming a time like none that’s ever been in history. And there will never be a time afterward like it in all of history. That will be a time when all our progresses and advances will come down to one thing – Jesus Christ.
ACTION POINT:
Ask yourself: Where will you be on the day of Tribulation? Where do you want to be?

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
