Times have always been perilous, but I am convinced that this is The Perilous Times.

The Word of God teaches us that in the “last days perilous times shall come.” I stand before you today to proclaim that never before in the history of man has such potential existed for our own destruction. Hydrogen bombs are so powerful that they require an atomic bomb to detonate them! Scientists claim that if a large hydrogen bomb ever exploded in our earth’s atmosphere, the shock waive could cause an imbalance, which would bring civilization, as we know it, to a standstill.

We have never seen a time quite like this.

Prominent intellectuals and their equally prominent fellow travelers in the media teach that every value and every culture are equally valid. And the result is the secular media has become open “despises of those that are good, ” constantly showing Christianity in a negative light and refusing to depict any Christian as intelligent, warm, considerate, or loving.

America was founded on a strong belief in the guiding hand of God, yet that belief is being pushed aside by those who have a religion of selfinterest and selfindulgence. The message of the last decade in America has been “do your own thing” and “just be happy,” yet we suddenly have awakened to a nation where prayer is yanked out of schools, nativity scenes are forbidden in our parks, and songs about Jesus cannot be sung at any public school Christmas celebration.

Child of God, if we are going to be the Church in the Last Days, we must have a hope beyond the scope of human limitation! But, listen to me today, we are never going to experience that hope as long as we are content to look, and to live, in the natural all the time and live the Christian life according to our feelings.
