A person’s average attention span is 8.25 seconds. Jesus warns us about the days ahead getting so bad, that people’s hearts will fail them because of fear of what’s coming. God will get the world’s attention.
End Times
With technological advances and AI, the ability to deceive the masses with an image empowered by Satan seems like something that could happen at almost any moment.
Have we been so collectively swayed by the church growth gurus, vision casters, and directional teams that we’ve taken our eyes off the great commission? Looking at conditions in much of modern Christianity, the answer is yes.
I don’t consider myself a prepper, but a person who looks at the realities we face through the lens of scripture and reacts accordingly. I don’t see living the Christian life and being prepared as mutually exclusive.
What I’m aiming for is a holy sense of urgency. Roughly 175,000 people die and go into eternity every day. People’s souls are literally hanging in the balance between heaven and hell. We don’t have a moment to waste.
