There are currently 4,000 unreached people groups in the world and 8,000 Christians persecuted to death in Nigeria in 2023. I think we need to focus on winning the lost and praying for those Christians under persecution in other parts of the world. We have not yet faced in N America what other countries have faced. My thoughts might not be the most popular opinion. But that's okay.

Thank you for reading and making your comment. I do think we should be praying and winning the lost, that is why one of my points was sharing the gospel. It's what we are called to do. I agree!

Refreshing! Thank you. I long for His return, yet I mourn for those I love who's minds are blinded! I know when He does come - that concern will be over. I just hope I've planted enough seeds to sprout after we gone, meanwhile we keep planting and watering till that SOUND!!! 🙌🏼

We've also not had the technology to make what's happening so instantaneous world-wide, which seems to be exacerbating the proliferation and perception of evil, all which makes it more crucial today than ever before.

“Know your Bible” stood out. Knowing what Jesus has said, loving Him, knowing Him and helping others come to know peace in Him — it’s what matters most. Thanks for the mini devotional today!

I agree we should live in full expectation of His imminent return. As in the case of the 10 virgins. But don’t count on being “”

I agree, Christians may very well have to be a part of this mess for much longer, we just don't know. But we have to keep our minds focused on Jesus and that we are not forgotten.

Very true. Looking at the US government policies and politicians it’s easy to forget that God has ordained these people in to their positions of power. His ways are NOT our ways so it’s hard for me to keep that fact in my frontal lobes
