This world is not our home. But we have a great expectation. Eternity will extinguish time and only then will incorruption manifest. Until that day, we are called to run this race and not grow weary in well doing.<\/b><\/p>\n

Earthly Good\n<\/span>When the elders speak truth to those with ears\nto hear:\n\nNation-time will put on Kingdom-time\nLawlessness won\u2019t pass for acceptable doctrine\nIncarceration will cease to be a career path\nCanine titles will be thrown off\nFor \u201cLadies\u201d and \u201cGentleman\u201d will once more\napply\nAnd every two-edged sword of destruction will\nbe laid to rest.\n\nWhen the saints desire the sacred over the\nsecular:\n\nHome ministry will abound over house parties\nHurting women won\u2019t vent through same-sex recreation\nTattooed breasts won\u2019t spill out over Sunday casseroles\nThe down-low will be six feet under\nReal men will embrace their true pants size\nAnd the belt of truth will gird their loins.\n\nWhen we suffer the children to come unto Him:\n\nWisdom will guide the rod of correction\nAnd \u201ctime-out\u201d will be expired\nGyrating babies won\u2019t perform at grown folks\u2019 gatherings\nToddlers\u2019 first songs will not include the lyrics of lust\nThree generations won\u2019t groove to an R-rated music video\nAnd confusion will cease to define the family.\n\nSome may read this and call me a hater:\n\nBut, I beg to differ\nI\u2019m just a hopeful dreamer\nWho, prays for loved ones\nAnd somehow tends to forget\nThat this ain\u2019t heaven\nAnd evil must increase Before He returns.<\/pre>\n\u201cBecause of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.\u201dMatthew 24: 12-14<\/b><\/h2>\n
