HE IS AT WORK
Today's reading: Ezra 1-5

"We wish to inform you that we went to the construction site of the Temple of the great God in the powerful province of Judah. It is being rebuilt with specially prepared stones, and timber is being laid in its walls. The work is going forward with great energy and success." Ezra 5:8-9 NLT

I know what the media is telling us...

I am well aware of what the Christian magazines are publishing...

I have heard what my local news agency touts as fact...

I have heard the discussion in the world...

I have even heard it spoken inside the walls of some of our nation's churches...

But here is the truth: God is alive and well!

The Kingdom is being built and is moving forward in a great way, in the places where God's people are allowing it!

There are some Bible-preaching churches that are growing by leaps and bounds!

There are, each Sunday, new faces being drawn into fellowship among our local congregations!

There is a rising up of those seeking God's face, His saving graces and a different kind of love than what the world offers!

There are people still, yes today in 2016, turning their sins and lives over to our Risen Savior!

So, don't believe everything you hear...

The work is going forward with great energy and success!!
