The Return of Christ

I stepped out on the front porch one Sunday afternoon after the worship service at church and saw what an absolutely beautiful day it was. In late October, the air is clean and clear in Independence, Missouri and the sky is especially glorious. As I looked up to the heavens I thought to myself, “Christ is going to return very soon.” The forces of evil are growing everywhere in the world, but so are the forces of good. This conflict between good and evil is going to increase day by day until at last the Lord will come and establish the Kingdom of Christ here on earth. I eagerly await that day. 

I had no sooner considered these thoughts than immediately I knew the book I needed to write next—the Return of Christ—with Bible verses and commentaries, interesting stories, and personal testimonies.

I offered a brief prayer and came inside to my laptop and started writing. I have learned from experience that God gives me the ideas and the words. I have never needed to ponder or worry about which book or what words I need to write. He is completely faithful and deserves all the credit. My job is to pay attention to the inspiration that comes from the Holy Spirit, and then to pray and write. God is good always, and his ways never fail. I am happy to be his instrument and to share my testimony of the love and saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God.
