Our readings in this series are from the book, Understanding the Times. Here is a brief excerpt from page 85:
“What does the Lord expect to find when He comes? A weed field, populated here and there by pockets of trembling wheat, sheltering against the onslaught of evil and pleading for the Lord’s return? Hardly.
“The field of the world is to be sown throughout with the good seed of the Kingdom, and the Lord of the harvest expects that field to be radiant with fruitful stalks, overcomers in the struggle against evil who have reached their maturity, are producing much fruit, and who bow in the Spirit’s refreshing breezes, in joyous expectation of the coming of their King. Jesus commands us to lift up our eyes, and see that the harvest is plentiful, though the laborers are few.
“The Christian movement has grown steadily and increasingly, like a growing stone, for 2,000 years. Even today, as in the days of the Celtic Revival (ca. 430-800 AD), the Gospel is advancing in astonishing measure in the most unlikely of places, a phenomenon to which most American Christians are willfully ignorant.”
