It is not in WHAT we believe, but in WHOM we have believed and continue to believe that results in saving faith… regardless of what we see or hear. Regardless of what potentates, governments, church leaders, media personalities… say or do - in WHOM are we believing? In spite of temptations, tribulations, testing’s, trials, persecution or provoking… in WHOM are we believing?

Putin disappears, Putin reappears. Wars and rumors of wars. BHO signs yet one more executive order removing yet another freedom Americans once took for granted. Congress supports same-sex unions, churches embrace Chrislam. The White House snubs Christianity while celebrating Islam. Military chaplains face charges for standing strong in The Word, Christians are murdered across the Middle East. Governments lie to achieve their evil agendas.

One day war will come. One day??? Americans will be forced to take a stand for what they believe. One day??? our faith will be tested, stretched to the breaking point, tribulation will come. One day??? we will stand or fall as we proclaim in WHAT or in Whom we have believed.

I strongly believe that day has come. All across the globe, [including ’christian’ America] we shake our head, yet we, the redeemed of the LORD remain silent, turning a blind eye, ignoring lies spewed from pulpits across America. Our greatest fear is not of God, but of man. What will she think, what will he think if I speak up. I will loose their friendship, my son, my daughter will turn against me if I share the gospel with them, don’t judge they say. Who am I to point out errors in the pastor message? I will just remain quiet and not make waves, after all I am ‘only’ one person, and it doesn’t seem to bother anyone else, why should I allow it to bother me?

“We are invited to look away from all others and look unto Him; to consider Him, that we may behold the perfections of our Princely Leader, our King and contemplate Him. He Who is the beginning and the end of all faith, He Who IS the Author and Giver of life; its object and its subject.

Blessed and wonderful are the examples found in scripture of the faithfulness of God and the faithfulness of those who ‘knew in WHOM they believed.’ May we exhibit, each in our own sphere of influence to those that God has placed in our path, like precious faith. That we, as did Moses, Abraham, Joseph, Jacob…[Hebrews 11] endure and wait for the day when we shall inherit His glorious promises which His grace has given to us.” [E.W. Bullinger]

Nothing short of a living faith in our living God can enable any to endure - AND HAVING DONE ALL, STAND.!!!
