I do believe He is growing His church in other regions of the world, and I do believe He still has a remnant here in the United States.
The number of believers are growing in South America, China, and Africa, even as the so-called Christian church in the USA turns its back on the Bible and turns to secularism and compromise with the prince of darkness.
Pray for another Great Awakening.

I think there’s more than a remnant in the US - but it’s NOT in the mainline denominations and it’s not in the mega church prosperity movement. I think it’s mainly in home group churches and those little charismatic and other Bible believing churches meeting in garages, little strip centers, renting out schools or theaters on Sundays and so on.

I was driving home yesterday afternoon, and there was a huge rainbow in the sky...the biggest I’ve ever seen. It seemed to be directly over the area, centered in the sky.
I said out loud, “God’s sign”, and I don’t know why, but I teared up-—I’ve never become emotional at the sight of a rainbow. Then I said, “Please come soon.”
I hope He does.
Tell the good reverend to suck it up.
The world has been in much worse shape countless times.
And it will get better again in just over 2 years.
I moved from Seattle, my home of 45 years, to a small farm in central KY in 2011. I bought it two weeks before the 2008 election.
I did it in the vein of Revelation 18:4. Of all the decisions I’ve made in my life, that is one of the ones you can count on one hand that was absolutely the right thing to do. And time has only strengthened that belief.
To me, it is beyond obvious. I feel like the Bruce Willis character in 12 Monkeys visiting the past.
Billy may live to experience the Rapture yet.
Sorry. The amillinneal and post-millinneal views are completely out of touch with Scripture. There are just too many Confessions between the pages of Scripture, and the hearers of the Word of God. The church is not going to overwhelm evil—that’s Christ the Lord’s mission.
I saw Drew Carey live, he started the show with, “Every time I watch the news I have out the Book of Revelations...and start checking things off.”
..having just taught through Daniel one thing is certain in my mind, Israel is God’s timepiece and warning sign to the world. Never have I seen so many things that point to Christ coming for His church , followed by that 70th “seven”’ followed by the Second Coming...
Only God knows when the last hour is. But it doesn’t hurt to be ready.
If I were to compare news headlines, I would judge that things were a lot worse in 1863, 1932 and early 1942 than they are today.
In my lifetime, things were worse when Jimmy Carter’s rescue attempt of the hostages in Iran failed. Lines to get gas, horrible inflation and high unemployment and the start of modern Islamic radicalism.
Yet we are still here.
““As I read the news, I can’t help but wonder if we are in the last hours before our Lord Jesus Christ returns to rescue His church and God pours out His wrath on the world for the rejection of His Son,” said Rev. Graham “
Sadly he does not realize that the fallacious pre-trib theory embraced by most modern Christians is misleading and incorrect.
The pre-trib idea is relatively new to the Church era.

For those interested in discussion with pagans the original site is going ballistic. Jesus is being attacked.
Over on DU there is not many they hate as much as Franklin Graham. I was reading a thread last year and the vitriol poured out on probably one of our premier rescue organizations was astounding.
It’s so sad. A man goes out and he is the first to pour massive resources into disaster areas like Haiti, often beating the red cross and going places even they won’t go, defying ISIS in Iraq, and the DU’ers go, yep, that’s the one to hate.
They are so lost.
