God is using this season to awaken His people and give us an awareness that we previously lacked. As He moves, He is stirring the hearts of His people and raising up a standard against the darkness—voices for His truth in our generation.
It’s an important time for the Church to be the Church. Many things are fighting against us: the rise of Paganism; a growing intolerance of our biblical worldview; the tremendous deterioration of human character; the rapid rise of authoritarianism and censorship; increasing lawlessness; state-sponsored deception; disrespect for authority; apostasy within the Church; and the list goes on…
Our current circumstances will lead us to one of two outcomes:
- God’s people will stay silent, asleep, and apathetic. If we choose this route, we’ll see increasing expressions of God’s judgment.
- Or, there will be an awakening of God’s people—a more widespread expression of heartfelt repentance, and a courage to act with our faith. If we choose this path, I trust God to respond with grace, mercy, and renewal.
It’s a pivotal time, and God’s people have a critical role to play. Thank you for your prayers and support as we continue to press forward with all God has called us to do. If you have already invested in our ministry this year-end, your donation has been matched by a generous friend of the ministry—and this opportunity continues until midnight tonight. I ask that you prayerfully consider taking part in this while your donations will be doubled.
As we end 2022, we face many unresolved issues, but let’s determine not to focus on the darkness. Instead, let’s resolve to be the light as we remember what’s true:
God is greater than our Constitution. He’s greater than our Congress, our White House, our governors’ mansions, and our state capitols. God is the Creator of All Things. He sustains us. We have breath today because of His grace and mercy. He upholds everything by the Word of His mouth. There is a God, an Almighty God, who is sovereign over us. He is the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end. He orders our days. He knew us when we were knit together in our mother’s wombs, and He loves us. He is the Author and the Completer of our story. He’s the Judge of all the earth.
It is an honor to join with you as we boldly stand for Jesus wherever He leads. We will all give an account to Him for how we’ve led our lives and we cannot—we will not—be silent on that fact. Jesus is Lord!
Onward in Him,
Pastor Allen Jackson
