CRISES TIME IS CRUNCH TIME
(whether personal, familial, national or local church).

Sometimes opportunities present themselves, which must be acted on immediately or the opportunity will pass.
Sometimes immediate action must be taken or there will be no need to take action.

This can be financial, vocational, medical, educational, relational or spiritual.

At times like these, it is natural for individuals to take extreme steps to protect and provide for themselves and their loved ones.

WE ALL HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES. But sometimes the corporate needs overshadows (at least for the moment) the personal and family needs.

Sometimes the door of escape from danger is about to close, and we must take emergency steps or lose opportunities forever.
Sometimes we must put our own agenda aside for a period of time, in order to accomplish a greater and more pressing good.

Some folks will not be able to relate to what I am saying. They don't have any high priority commitments to anything but self and immediate family. They are willing to give, provided it does not requires sacrificial giving of money, time, energy, skill, which they want to spend on personal projects.

Sometimes personal, family projects which are of high priority need to be set aside for a greater need.

A legitimate vision for God's work sometimes diverts our energy and resources for a period of time. There are times when local church needs should supersede our own plans.

Realize this, sometimes God gives a window of opportunity, which will not remain open very long. Christians, American Christians, need to be committed to the plan of God, even when it interrupts personal plans. Especially now and in the future.

There are people who make great sacrifices for the work of God, but when it comes to launching God's plan, there are seldom enough people totally committed to the project.

As we watch our society collapse before our very eyes, we need to be part of a local church that is of one mind; a local church with leadership that has caught God's vision; a local church that is taking dramatic and drastic steps to be all God wants it to be. And folks need to see the local church as God's fighting force, which actually has the right to call you to sacrificial service. But don't wait to be called. If you are a Christian, you are already enlisted. Now you need to be so committed that you eagerly volunteer for active duty on the front lines. We are God's army, and our warfare is real and demanding

Trust me, there will soon be a time that you will not be needed because the opportunity will be past and the mission will be scrubbed because folks were building their own kingdoms while the gates of hell were taking new ground.
