Coffee Talk

Coffee Talk


I am sitting in a coffee shop, and I can hear two men talking. One of the men is talking about how his marriage is failing because of his wife's behavior and attitude. I have heard mention of one of the larger churches in the city, so I can only assume these are two Christian men.

I often think that so called christian women today have really bought into this independent, feminine mindset that permeates the rest of the world. This only serves to create conflict in a relationship where one is trying to steer his family toward a more traditional family model and the other is hell-bent on conforming to worldly standards. The end result is the disruption of and ultimate destruction of the family unit.

I pity this man because I have walked in his shoes already. I can only imagine that while he is hear seeking counsel from his christian brother, his wife is somewhere with more deceit and rebellion being conjured up in her heart.

I have a constant thought that something is truly missing from the 'teaching' that goes on in the churches.

It seems that the mainstream message is weak and ineffective at moving believers toward a lifestyle that is different from the rest of the world.

I was having this same conversation with someone else online yesterday, in regards to prophecy.

When the conversation turned toward some signs regarding the end times. They simply were unaware of even the more obvious end time trends being talked about in the mainstream media.

The scriptures say that the antichrist can not be revealed until "there be a falling away first".

I think the begining of this is the lack of knowledge that most in the church have, simply because they are not being taught.

As you may recall, the scriptures do say that God's people, not other people, perish "for lack of knowledge". How long can "He who hindereth" hinder all alone?

Certainly, God could do whatever He needs done to defeat evil on His own, but He has made us partners in this conflict.

We simply need to choose who it is we are most willing to serve.
