The Battle is Raging...

I'm not really one of those people who think they know when the world is going to end, or to claim to know when Jesus is coming back either...but I do know that we're in a war right here, and right now; regardless of any understanding beyond that. There's a war for the souls of mankind at all moments. I know the time has come where people need to choose whose side they're really on. That thin line is being drawn, and it's not one that you can straddle. You know? I think in seasons past there were things that were permissible, even though they didn't lead to the fullness of true life. But it seems like now, you're either all for bad or all for good. People are choosing; knowingly or unknowingly.

The decision is being made in the hearts & minds of people on a daily basis; as they go about their days choosing the way that they want to live. Choosing the standard that they're going to set for themselves, and choosing whether to pursue righteousness or the ambitions of mans' heart. It's a really big deal too; because it's not like we have forever. Like I said before, I'm not one to claim I know anything about the end of the world, other than what I read in the Bible [in which it clearly states, NO man knows the hour of the second coming, not even Jesus Himself] but I do know that each day we live, we are getting closer to our end, maybe not the end of time...but just a life span. And not in a morbid way, life and death happen and it's natural and how we are made...but it's the assurance of knowing where we're going when that happens for us is what we can change and do have control over.

The weapons we fight with are not of this world, but they are powerful for the demolishing of strongholds. [my own interpretation!]2Cor.10:4

It's time to choose. The battle is raging, I don't want to be sleeping...
