finances. Our very lives are on the line.
The Covid-19 Plague is “no respecter of
persons.” Black or white, rich Black or white, rich or poor, famous or infamous, educated or illiterate, living in a mansion or a prison— this Plague knows absolutely no boundaries.
But, there is something of far greater sig- nificance than any of the areas we have men- tioned: our soul... eternity... the forever!
Since we do not know if our tombstone was on that load that rolled into our town last night, it is imperative we take every pre- caution spiritually.
We must not neglect to examine where we stand, not in our community or financially, but spiritually!
Jesus said, “What good would is to gain the whole world and lose our soul?”
That’s a good question. Do you have the answer?
The Covid-19 Plague has made all of us painfully aware of our vulnerability. One moment we are healthy and feel like we have a lifetime of living ahead of us.
Ourdoctortellsuswe’reas“healthyasa horse , we should see many more years.” We leave his office thinking what a wonderful world this is!
Then, just a short few days later, we come face to face with a life and death struggle that may quickly end our life on this earth.
It’s the same with our finances. One day we may be able to purchase any or many of the things we want. Then, just a few weeks
later, we are standing in a line desperately needing someone to provide our family with a box of food so we can survive.
Though some of us may have erroneous- lythoughtwewerequitewelloff, wehave learned the bitter truth first-hand how quickly everything can change!
The truth is, even if we had a gold coin, it probably wouldn’t be enough to buy even one roll of toilet paper, much less a bottle of hand sanitizer at Walmart. So much for the much touted gold to be our hedge for the hard times.
And, when “push comes to shove,” we realize there is something far more important than our
WHAT IN THE WORLD’S GOING ON?R. John Rank
In the midst of great confusion, anger, fear, sadness, frustration, and depression, the big question of today is: What in the world is going on?
The only real answer is that biblical prophecies by God-inspired prophets over the last thousands of years, are be- ing fulfilled and confirmed daily. We are a major part of their being ‘lived out’ in these closing days of history.
The “upheavals” and “shakings” have ‘taken’ the people of all nations, for the most part, by surprise. The escalations over the past few months, with pandem- ics, protests, demonstrations, and most importantly, lost lives have sent shock- waves throughout the world’s popula- tion.
Tragically, the Body of Christ, for the most part, has been ill-prepared to give a scripturally-sound and practical- ly-grounded response, backed-up with God’s love, peace, and discernment.
Someone asked me who I thought would be “a good fit” to help make
changes. I thought of three men: Billy Graham, Martin Luther King Jr., and Mohandas K Ghandi,
and three women: Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Mother Teresa. These I believe these six are well-qualified based on name recognition, being well-respected, and having a “track record” of world-wide experience in meeting world leaders. The current prob- lem is that they had passed into the next life, even though their place in world history lived on.
I couldn’t recommend the Body of Christ, generally speak- ing, in its present condition. The very group that had the greatest potential in defining the myri-
ad of problems and explaining “doable” solutions from God’s perspective, for the most part, are paralyzed and immobilized by the

GOD’S AGENDA FOR THE EARTH
Even before God created the earth, He has been working to fulfill His agenda here on earth.(Rev 13:8) From the very foundation of the world, God had
a plan to bring mankind back to Him. His son, Jesus Christ, was to be the sacrifice for our sins.
Throughout the pages of time His agenda has been marching on.
First and foremost, God’s will is that not a single person die without receiving His gift of eternal life. The Lord is... not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9) Even though most of the earth may reject Him,
God is still reaching out in love to all mankind. Regardless of our lifestyle or how good we have
tried to live, it’s not enough. For we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)
Even in the midst of this Covid-19 Plague, God is reaching out to the world to repent, turn from their sin and receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
What about you my friend, have you accepted God’s will and plan for your life???
