Babylon?

Posted bydevotionsfordifficultdaysPosted inUncategorized

Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.  2 Timothy 3:12 ESV

But God’s truth stands firm like a foundation stone with this inscription: “The LORD knows those who are his,” and “All who belong to the LORD must turn away from evil.”  2 Timothy 2:19 NLT

“The Church is going to Babylon”

This message from Pastor Tim Dilena, of Times Square Church in Manhattan is most timely – I would even say urgent for the Church. Pastor Dilena shares a rock-solid Biblical response to the chaos swirling around us…even as the foundations of America are shaken – The Foundation, The Cornerstone of our faith remains. Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

As the body of Christ, especially in America, we are entering a season Pastor Dilena describes as Babylon. A time of captivity and suffering, a time of refining, and most of all – a time of testing. And yet as in the days of Daniel, God always arises in the midst of such challenges for His trusting and obedient servants. Not to necessarily remove the trial, but to walk us through – for His glory!

This message is for you. For me. For such a time as this.
