Times are changing. The Christian faith once enjoyed a place of privilege in government and society but that is quickly changing. The Christian faith and ethics that holds our nation together is now being viewed as a curse. The privileges and influence the church once held is vanishing. Hard times may face the future generation of believers if Jesus does not return.
Is that really bad? I ran across this little tidbit of information that caused me to think about what God can do in hard times.
"The American Civil War sparked revival on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Between 100,000 and 200,000 Union soldiers reportedly converted to Christ, as did approximately 150,000 Confederates.
Many soldiers' quarters featured chapels, and it was during this conflict that military chaplains became common.
During the fall of 1863 and the winter of 1864 alone, some 7,000 of Robert E. Lee's troops became Christians."
Sometimes God does His greatest works during the hard times.
Something to think about.
