Shalom,

When the brothers of Jesus, who did NOT yet believe in or trust Him, tried to get Jesus to go up to Jerusalem so that His message could be heard, He said this to them in John 7:6-7:


  Whereupon Jesus said to them, My time (opportunity) has not come yet; but any time is suitable for you and your opportunity is ready any time [is always here].  The world cannot [be expected to] hate you, but it does hate Me because I denounce it for its wicked works and reveal that its doings are evil.


I see two very important things to remember in these verses. First of all, Jesus said "but any time is suitable for you and your opportunity is always here." WE, who have received Jesus of Nazareth as Lord and personal Savior, MUST be buying up every opportunity to share the Good News of the Gospel with the lost! WE are the only Jesus they will ever see on this earth UNLESS they receive Him, too! Second, Jesus said "I denounce it for its wicked works and reveal that its doings are evil." Notice that He didn't say that He denounced individuals, but the world, or world system! In the Untied States of America we are now living among a totally ungodly and evil generation! They agree with or actively participate in the wanton murder of the unborn, the most innocent among us! They are trying to make it legal to "assist" an elderly person in taking their own life! When will it turn into taking their life because they are a nuisance to them? This world agrees with, supports and participates in some of the most degrading and deviant sexual behavior. They reject the Word of God that says that you must work in order to even eat! It is, in general, the  most insidiously selfish and self-centered generation to ever live in this land that God gave freedom to for the purpose of spreading the Gospel! What must we do? Continue to share the Good News, but we MUST speak up for godly principles! If WE don't, WHO will? If not NOW, then WHEN? After it's too late? Let's reach as many as we can, as fast as we can, with the great Good News, and REFUSE to accept or ignore evil! Pray! and Then GO, as the Spirit of God directs YOU! Amen! Here is Hillsong with "Running":


Shalom in Him!
