The unprecedented divisions among us are a sign that the time is approaching when the final stand of good against evil is about to be played out. Choose your side.
Religion has always been tolerated as long as it kept its dogmas within the walls of the church on Sundays. It complied for centuries until the last revival (late 60s-70s) and outpouring of God's Spirit gave millions a love for the Word of God that overflowed into the streets. Now the world hates those Christians who dare to quote Scripture in mixed company -- because their deeds are evil and darkness hates the light.
As Jesus forewarned us, they will hate us, but it is not really us they hate, it is Him they hate. Fence-sitters know this and keep their mouths shut so as not to offend anyone. They are the lukewarm of whom Jesus said He would spew out of His mouth.
Just like the believers in the First Century, we are seeing this play out- Matthew 10:32-39
“Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess
before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him
I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven. Do not think that I
came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a
sword. For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter
against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’;
and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ He who loves
father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son
or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take
his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his
life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.'"
