We are living during the buying season.

They say that the time to invest in the stock market is when stock is dropping and everyone else is selling. When that happens, your emotions tell you to stay away or to get out of the market because it is failing. But experienced stock investors buy in those moments because they have faith that the stock market will rebound and they will make a profit for buying when the price was low.

I believe that we are living in a cultural moment when it seems that all is failing. Many Christians perceive a dark future. But I believe that we are at the brink of a great harvest.

Every day is the right time to sow the seeds of the Gospel but I believe we are living in a particular moment in history when God’s people will be highly rewarded for investing heavily in the kingdom of God.

It’s just a thought. It’s a hunch.

But when the rains come, make sure your garden has been tilled and sown with seed so that you don’t miss the harvest.

Genuine evidence of the Holy Spirit’s influence in a believer's life is not excitement, experience, or emotionalism.

Instead, it’s sanctification producing a Christlike character. - Dustin Benge

This week in Egypt, terrorists posted a video showing the execution of three people. One of them was 62-year-old Coptic Christian, Nabil El-Habashy.
His crime? Helping to rebuild a church.

"When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed."
-Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

I read this today and had to share. One day, William Booth was asked to explain the secret of his success.

"I will tell you the secret. God has had all there was of me. There have been men with greater brains than I. Men with greater opportunities. But from the day I got the poor of London on my heart and a vision of what Jesus Christ could do, I made up my mind that God could have all of William Booth there was.
The greatness of a man's power is the measure of his surrender."
