Inspiration for Today's Church from the Desk of Tim Barker
The Age of Uncertainty: A Call to Stand Firm
The chaos in the modern world is devastating to any fundamental Christian.
The earth is being shaken by the forces of darkness, and there’s only one way to remain secure.
It’s not through government or economic measures. It’s not even through our churches or our hearts.
Our salvation comes through standing on the Rock that is Christ. Our focus must be truly on Him.
The events of this world will try to distract us from God’s saving power.
What we must understand is that the chaos isn’t random. God is shaking the world because He loves us.
He is revealing the truth and glory of His nature so that we will run to Him.
If our life is built on the eternal Word of God, we will endure the consuming fire that is washing across the world today.
A Message from the Desk of Tim Barker:
God’s shaking isn't meant to destroy you but to build you up.
He wants His truth to draw you unto Him.
Stand on His Word. Salvation is the only foundation that will stand the test of the storm.
Tim R. Barker, D. Min.
