This is for any woman in the middle of a marital crisis. What I learned may keep you from doing everything humanly possible and nothing divinely possible.

What I’m addressing here isn’t beer, smoking, or clubs, because externals don’t save people; Jesus does. I’m addressing the fact that Kid Rock said he didn’t get saved. Just so there’s no taking what he said out of context, he followed it up by saying he feels like he’s always been right with God.

I’m not implying that COVID began some invisible clock ticking or that it marks an identifiable point prophetically. What I’m saying is that somewhere along the line, as the world navigated the pandemic, it became clear that this world isn’t returning to what we consider normal.

This is not the time to sit back and relax or be an apathetic Christian. So the encouragement I want to give you is to understand the time we live in and to persevere under God’s providential hand in our time, even in these times of trouble.

It’s a sad day when the lines between many who call themselves “Christian” and people in this dark world are virtually indistinguishable. Our generation is marked by pseudo-Christians who are dabbling in the darkness instead of being called out of darkness.

If we are to teach, preach, and disciple biblically, we must break ranks and not emulate what is being done by many leaders in the church growth movement.
