Now learn this parable from the fig tree:

“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

Where to look? Who to listen to?




So much going on around us.

Where to look?

Who to listen to?

So many voices saying so many things.

How to decipher?

What to make of it?


All is well.

Change has come.

That's the noise that's all about.

But are you listening beyond the sound bytes?

Are you seeing beyond the stuff they call the news?

The times they are a changing fast.


All is well.

All is numb.

At least we're up to speed with how Brad and Angelina are doing.

Keep me fat.

Keep me happy.

Keep distracting me so I won't notice when it's too late to care.


Ready or not.

Here it comes.

There's a new order brewing.

And it will be unveiled.

Just a matter of time.

Whether we're ready or not - here it comes.


This is the story of what is unfolding.

It's been unfolding forever.

And it's becoming clearer as to where we're going.

Faith on the earth may be hard to find.

Someone's coming.

Are you ready?

"But this I say, brethren, the time is short, so that from now on even those who have wives should be as though they had none, those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they did not possess, and those who use this world as not misusing it. For the form of this world is passing away."
