ready to vault out onto the drag strip to proclaim our Lord as king of all.
Believers should always be running and ready, but not naive about what to expect from the world around us... a world flagged down by sin. Consider those Christians caught living in lands afflicted by terrorists. These find that chopping occurs not to the roof of a Mercury... but to the saintly heads of those committed Christians. This is evidence to all that today we still live in the same world that hung our Lord Jesus upon a cross.
Consequently, today we Christians must realize that any soul doing after-church wanderings on a Sunday afternoon is not just to be hypnotically consumed by polished chrome, nor dazzled by sequentially-blinking Cougar taillights. We are to be wise in knowing that our faith shall endure and we need to express it openly. We are made secure in knowing above all that our Lord who has saved and preserves us... shall certainly return. Jesus Christ will come quickly… and when he does... his arrival shall be faster than the footfall of any faded Greek messenger. Thanks be to God!
