Descent into Darkness

 MAY 1 2026  Descent into Darkness

The unbelieving world is descending into darkness and rebellion against our great King. They are rejecting his offer of friendship and eternal life. They are turning their back on our Lord and going their own way, and all the while satan is deceiving them. They are wallowing in their own sin and their own blood. They consider the blood of Christ to be of no value to them. They mock and disregard the good news of the Kingdom. But it makes no difference what the world may do, the Body of Christ is going to be victorious. Christ will never let us down, even to the last day. We will always be safe in him.
   Let the world go on their merry way. It will not stop us from proclaiming the good news to every man, woman, boy, and girl. Christ demands that his word be preached. Christ works only by his Spirit, through the power of his word. Christ backs only his word, and he will back nothing but his word. The prophets have already told us what to expect and what will happen. The apostles have already told us what we must do. Christ waits for us to believe him, and follow the plan he has laid out for us. He stands waiting to act on the behalf of all who put their trust in him. Christ will give us the Kingdom. We needn't worry about that. What we must focus on is to take others with us. What we must strive for is the proclamation of this message. What we must seek after is the salvation of those around us. We must share this good news with them so they might believe and be saved. Christ will help us. Christ is on our side. Christ Jesus fights for us. -- excerpt from my book Kingdom Reality
