Biblical Readiness
In this series Biblical Readiness, we are going to uncover the Scriptural guideposts necessary for negotiating the present and pending difficulty and trouble that has become the current reality of our post-Christian world. Readiness and Biblical Readiness are conditions or better yet, “states of being” that have of course, obvious similarities. However, Biblical Readiness has a very distinct and objective meaning that must be understood clearly by those who are named as believers in Christ, or, whom optimally have embraced their identity as a biblical worldview Christian.
The Bible teaches that as true followers of Jesus, and people of genuine faith, we are not to be fearful, worried, or distracted by times of trouble. In fact, the trouble that is set before us is the kind of trouble we have been warned of.
2 Timothy 3:1-5
“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers ofpleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance ofgodliness, but denying its power.”
To build a practical and approachable response to Biblical Readiness, I am
going to identify in the next few weeks three contextually sound Scripturalguideposts to readiness. These scriptural guideposts will be known as…To Regulate – To Resist – To Be Resilient
Join us for this timely instruction in being biblically ready!
