Culture Wars - Part 1

We are living in days the Bible warned us about. In Matthew 24, Jesus said the first sign of the end of the age would not be wars or earthquakes -- it would be deception. And his instruction was clear: take heed. Do not be afraid, but be aware. The culture around us is shifting rapidly, and much of what we see -- confusion about identity, rejection of truth, lawlessness celebrated as freedom -- is not random. It is the fulfillment of prophecy. But here is the good news: you do not have to be deceived. The Holy Spirit leads you into all truth, and the closer you draw to God, the clearer everything becomes. Truth is not hate. Conviction and compassion can coexist. And the church is called to carry light into the darkness, not retreat from it.
