The Importance Of Being Watchful

 Vernon Peters



In the fast-paced world we live in, it's easy to get caught up in the daily grind and lose sight of the bigger picture. However, as believers, it's crucial that we stay vigilant and keep up to date with prophetic events. These events, foretold in the Bible, serve as signs of the times and reminders of God's sovereignty and ultimate plan for humanity.

The Bible, particularly the book of Matthew, emphasizes the importance of watchfulness. In Matthew 24:42-44 (KJV), Jesus instructs His followers: "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh."


 These verses underscore the importance of being spiritually prepared and alert. Just as a homeowner would keep watch to prevent a thief from breaking in, we too must be watchful of the signs of the times, ready for the return of Jesus Christ.


 Being watchful, however, is not about living in fear or constant worry. Instead, it's about being spiritually awake, discerning the signs of the times, and living in a way that is pleasing to God. It's about aligning our lives with God's will and purpose, and eagerly anticipating the fulfillment of His promises.


 Keeping up to date with prophetic events helps us to navigate our lives in a rapidly changing world. It provides us with a roadmap, guiding us on how to live righteously amidst the challenges and temptations of modern life. It reminds us that, despite the chaos and uncertainty around us, God is in control.


 Moreover, understanding prophecy can strengthen our faith. Seeing the fulfillment of biblical prophecies in our world today can affirm our belief in the Bible's truth and reliability. It reassures us that God's promises are true and that His plans will come to pass.
 However, staying watchful requires effort. It involves regularly studying the Bible, praying, and staying connected with a community of believers. It's about continually seeking God's wisdom and guidance in interpreting the signs of the times.


 In conclusion, staying watchful and keeping up to date with prophetic events is not just a suggestion—it's a biblical mandate. It's a call to live intentionally, to stay spiritually awake, and to prepare for the return of Jesus Christ.

Standing Firm: Why We Must Never Worship the State The news today is filled with talk of government overreach, mandates, and the increasing pressure to conform. For those with an ear to hear, these discussions echo ancient warnings, particularly those found in the Bible. One passage that stands out is Revelation 13:16-17: "Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name." This isn't just about a literal mark; it's a powerful symbol of a system that seeks total control, coercing the conscience and demanding ultimate allegiance . It describes a government so tyrannical that it dictates who can participate in society based on their submission to its authority. The Danger of State Worship When a government demands conformity to the point of controlling basic necessities like buyi...
