Look, God’s on his way, and from a long way off! Smoking with anger, immense as he comes into view, Words steaming from his mouth, searing, indicting words!

Matthew 10:21

“When people realize it is the living God you are presenting and not some idol that makes them feel good, they are going to turn on you, even people in your own family.

It is not success you are after in such times but survival. Be survivors! Before you’ve run out of options, the Son of Man will have arrived.
