We're coming into a time in scripture called the beginning of sorrows.
Sorrow will be all over the world. People will be wringing their hands.

Heart attacks will abound. The ambassadors of peace, as I said, will
weep bitterly. They will believe that through amalgamating of
governments and strategies and ideas, that somehow that peace can be
brought to this perishing planet, but it will fail.

Everything will fail. All will fail. But in the midst of it all, prophet
Isaiah clearly says there will be a people praising God.

The scripture bears witness to it all through history. No matter what we
have to face early Christians, many of them faced unspeakable hardship,
but the glory of God was in their souls because their value system was
not attached to this world. Oh yes.

They believed they were called to be good citizens. And they were, if
they're true Christians, they would be a good citizen of this world, but
their value system was different. They were not an extra attached to the
things of this world that are perishing.

They had an inner value system that says, God, I trust you. Oh God, I
trust you. Oh God, I trust you.

No matter what is taken away from me, no matter where I have to go.
