It is certainly evident that we are living in uncertain economic times. At such times, certain industries fare better than others. For instance, there will always be a need for people to work in the food industry, for people will always need to eat. There will also always be a need for health care workers, since people will also continue to get sick and need health care.
It is equally evident that we are living in uncertainΒ spiritualΒ times. At such times, there will always be a need for Christians who are willing to work to bring the gospel to the lost. There will always be βcertainβ among the lost who will actively seek salvation (LukeΒ 18:18), but βcertainβ others will trust in themselves that they are righteous (Luke 18:9), so Godβs people will need to reach out to them.
It is also certain that some will continue to oppose Paulβs gospel, βcertainβ of them opposing it on philosophical grounds (ActsΒ 17:18), βcertainβ others because they are set in their ways and so naturally resist the new truth that Paul set forth (Acts 15:1).
Many Christians are at a complete loss as to knowing what to do in these uncertain spiritual times, but that doesnβt apply to those who know the certainty of Paulβs gospel.Β We have the answerΒ to the religious confusion all about us! If youβre not part of the movement that is bringing the solution to these poor confused people, youβre part of the problem.
One thing is sure. βWe brought nothing into this world, and it isΒ certainΒ we can carry nothing outβ (I Tim. 6:7). With that in mind, why not beginΒ todayΒ to live with eternity in view? source
