In fact, recent events should show us that God is still very much guiding and guarding America. It is time for believers to set the example of returning to the truth of God’s Word.

The end of the book of Malachi is focused on the future and God’s plan being realized. However, it is not something we should worry about or fear. For the people of God, the future is a source of hope and comfort.
Our message will look back to the time when the people of God came together to rebuild the temple. It was a tough task but everyone cooperated and offered their gifts and talents to the building of the house of God.

What is being called “one of the greatest political shakeups in history” is a glimpse into the soul of the real USA. Americans have overwhelmingly declared that they do care about the economy, security, and morality of their country. They do want a better world for their children and grandchildren. Once again they are seeing a future and a hope. These are indeed exciting times in our nation’s history. Along with the other positive changes, here are some more that we cannot afford to ignore:
These appear to be times of discouragement and despair but they can also be times of hope and possibilities. God does not want us to live in defeat but to step out and be the salt and light. He has given us His Holy Spirit to take the Gospel of Christ to the ends of the earth.
