Greetings Beloved
Diagnosing the times we are living in is important in affecting the culture. Each individual must live and adjust to the times and culture they find themselves in. We have no control over the time, place or condition into which we are born. Had any of us been born 500 years earlier, we would not have been born in the United States because it didn’t exist.
Furthermore, in 1517 our ancestors lived in a world significantly different from the one we are in today. It would have been nearly impossible for them to imagine what daily life in our world is like just as it is difficult for us to imagine what their life was like day to day. Likewise, it is nearly impossible for us to predict or imagine with any certainty what life for our descendants will be like 500 years later in 2517 and for them to imagine what our life is like now.
One thing we can say and know for certain. In 1517, some people believed in Jesus Christ and kept the gospel alive because we have it today. Those people affected their culture in their time to preserve and pass the gospel on to generations yet unborn. It is our time now to do what they did so that 500 years from now someone yet unborn will have you to thank for preserving and passing on this gospel of Jesus Christ. We must be faithful in our time and affect our culture just as they did before us.
Thank you for allowing me to share with you this week. Have a safe and happy weekend! Hope to see you in the Lord’s House on the Lord’s Day.
Blessings
Pastor Jordan
