1 Chronicles 12:32 ~~ the sons of Issachar had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do.....
This is how we need to be! We are in serious times! We must stay near to the Lord, listening closely to His voice, waiting for His instructions on what to do as things become more uncertain in these last days! We must be watchful, paying attention to what is going on and referring to God's Word daily in each situation. The Church in general has gotten so far away from how she should be! There is not much difference between her and the world! The church has become complacent, even lazy! I'm not pointing fingers at anyone ~ I refer to myself as much as anyone else! Ephesians 5:14 says, "Awake, O sleeper! Rise up from the dead!". This call holds true for now as much as then ~ maybe more so! The days of "playing church" and "sitting on the fence" as they say, MUST come to an abrupt end! We MUST fall on our faces at the feet of our King in repentance for our sin of idolotry (putting other things before God), for the shedding of innocent blood (abortion), and for the sin of sodomy (homosexuality), among other things! If ever there was a time for the Church to rise up and shake these things off IT IS NOW!!! Come on Church! Wake up! Rise up! Heed the times! Repent! Have mercy on us, Jesus!
