Luke 3:9 NIV
While it’s a book about hope, the Bible is also a book about the hard truth.
Chris Rice, probably my favorite singer/songwriter, has a song called “Naive:”
“How long until You defend Your name and set the record right?
And how far will You allow the human race to run and hide?
And how much can You tolerate our weaknesses
Before You step into our sky blue and say “That’s quite enough!” and our time is up?
It was one year ago today when, as with every early morning, I wrote my daily 60 second study “Terrible times” reposted again this morning on my website.
These rapidly deteriorating days call more for hard truths over hope.
Producing fruit from our faith has never been more critical.
Our time is almost up and we need to live our lives wholly in that truth.
