I hear a lot today about how terrible the world is, yet that is only what the Bible tells us is going to be.  I hear a lot of Christians state that the end of the world is near because of the state of the world.  Yet, the Bible tells us that He will come as a thief in the night when He is least expected.  I think sometimes we view the second coming as our opportunity to say, "I told you so" when we finally get to prove we are worthy and those bad sinners aren't.  It would seem to me if we really think time is short that we would have an urgency about reaching those bad sinners.  We seem to bury our talents for use tomorrow or next week while proclaiming tomorrow may be the day that Christ returns.  I would hope that my posts don't lead people to believe that I am Christians or the church, God's people.  For from it.  I think only when the church, the people of God, are active doing His will can there be positive change in the world.  In a world of darkness and despair, we must bring light and hope.  We need to have a broken heart for the lost people of the world.  To make it personal, if I am willing to just sit and wait for Christ to return then I cannot be following His will.
