Dear friends,

We ask for your indulgence for this letter to be a little different from usual, with a focus solely on the home front. The reason for this will become obvious as you read.

Order

Throughout Scripture the Lord establishes order, from the creation of the world to the positioning of the tribes of Israel as they marched. Our God is a God of order. Paul pleaded with the Corinthian church that all things should be done decently and in order (1 Corinthians 14:40). So, we are finding ourselves in a time of change, and are asking the Lord for His order in this new season.

Jesus prophesied wars and famines, earthquakes and pandemics before the End of the Age. He also spoke of the persecution of believers (Luke 21:10-12, Matthew 24:6-10).

We are seeing all these things in increasing measure. He warned us so that we would not be overwhelmed, but would be able to stand and be in peace in the midst of turmoil.

Along with the devastation the Lord also says that the 'gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come' (Matthew 24:14).
