Speaking words of wisdom

By G. EDWARD GEANS Minister We are living in perilous times. Much of the peril touches all of us in one way or another. Some of it threatens just a few. There is peril found world-wide. Yet .there is peril found within the four walls of a single dwelling. In any case, the times are filled with trouble and no person is totally exempt from feeling their effect. The Bible talks a great deal about the difficulties and problems that will mark the last days. And while there are countless interpretations among Christians concerning the end time, one thing is certain, the Bible declares that the times will be characterized by a world diseased both physically and spiritually. Upon this one truth, most scholars agree. It is frustrating, therefore, to hear some of our contemporary television evangelists lead people .0 believe that trusting Jesus will be like taking a big aspirin. Testimonies of diseases healed, troubles removed and roads made smooth cause people to believe that faith in Christ is a fantasy land of one miracle after another. Trust Jesus and be free from suffering. The Bible doesn’t paint the

same picture. Nowhere does God give us the impression that Christianity is a magic want that will turn life into an island paradise. Is it true that God wants us well? Then when will we be sick enough to die? Is it true that if God answers our prayers in the negative that He doesn’t love us anymore? It seems as though some Christians are led to believe that God will be good to the good and bad to the bad. bestowing special, temporal favors on all His children. It would seem that the best approach to perilous times would be the Biblical teaching that while God does not cause them, He can use them to temper His children. In short, God’s people . suffer also. They get sick. They are laid off from work. Their money runs out before the bills are paid. Gasoline costs just as much for the Christian as it does for theathiest. Allowing Christians to experience perilous times is one of the ways God grows His children. “Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfet and complete, lacking in nothing’’ (James 1:2-4).
