Prologue Standing Firm in a Shaking World Hebrews 12:26-29 A person would have to be living in a bubble to not see, know and understand that our whole world is shaking like it has never shaken before. It would be wrong of me or anyone else to take the current events of the world and sensationalize them just to get a platform to build “a ministry.” But, it would also be wrong to ignore the world-shaking events as if they have nothing to do with anything, thereby bringing people into a false sense of security and peace. There is a place for us to stand in the midst of the storm and the ensuing confusion that surely comes and be a voice of truth that positions people rightly before the Lord. It is imperative that God’s people align themselves to what God knows or does so there is neither fear nor apathy working to immobilize us. There are those that are all about “doomsday,” while others are about, “peace, peace,” but we are to be about the message of redemption of our Christ to many people who are lost in trauma while others are equally lost in living it up in safety. The unsaved in either place are lost at the edge of the worst event in their life – death without ever knowing God or His Son’s plan to redeem and rescue them. God wants His people to be the strongest, the most prepared of all people. He wants His church to shine forth in the dark and difficult times as a people from a Kingdom of Light that cannot be shaken. He wants them to shine out in the darkness; to outshine every governmental, secular organization currently operating. He wants them to reveal to a world that is fast losing hope in other things, that there is a Christ who loves them and wants to redeem them in these days of increasing turmoil, fear and war. He wants us to be available to Him because of the one thing we have that many others do not – A Rock to stand on – one that is impossible to be shaken by anything happening on earth, from the beginning of her history to the current day until the end of time. This is the Rock to which we fix ourselves in faith.
