The stage is set

I have seen this story many times before. I am not sure that it is a real story or if the event actually happened. However, I do not believe that everyone who practices Islam believes in Jihad and killing non believers. I believe that there are extremist factions in the Islam religion who are taking something out of their religion out of context and blowing it out of proportion and fueling their mantra and dogmatic beliefs with hatred, jealousy, arrogance and pride. Now , with that said, how many religions on this planet have not had this type of problem from time to time?
The bottom line is this. The stage is set. God's word is the same today, tomorrow and the future and it never changes. The world that we live in is going to get worse and not better, I don't care how many revivals we have or how many missionaries we send out. The purpose of ministry is not to change the world into a better place to live but rather to prepare people for eternity and introduce them to the God Jehovah who loves them and died for all of us. Amen? We may not see Armageddon in our life time but I can guarantee you that in this life time we see wars and rumors of wars, pestilence, diseases, false prophets and the like. Like I said, the stage is set. All we can do is be obedient and share the love of Christ with everyone that we come in contact with.
God bless
