These days, there is a lot to be afraid of. Currently (April 2020), the COVID-19 pandemic has people around the world afraid that the next person they see, talk to or stand within six feet of will give them a virus. Wars, natural disasters and humanitarian crises are all around us. Young people -- those born after 2000 -- are terrified of the effects of climate change -- in the USA, the one presidential candidate many thought was taking climate change seriously has dropped out of the race.
Where can they turn? Where can anyone turn? Where can you find answers? Where can you find hope?A Very Convenient Truth points you to a Source that has been around since before the beginning of time. The Bible predicted all these events would happen -- including the intensity with which they are happening today. That knowledge, on its own, would be cold comfort, but the Bible also provides something missing from today's discussions: HOPE.
There is hope in the long term -- that these events are just the prelude to Jesus Christ's return and that God will re-make the world into something unimaginably beautiful and glorious. But there is short-term, more worldly hope, contained in this promise: "If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and forgive their sins and will heal the land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)In Jesus, we can ALL qualify as "God's People", so the promise is for all of us.
A Very Convenient Truth explores God's plan -- and how we fit in.
