[CS-FSLUG] OT: A MUST read! For some, the MOST important read you've ever had!

Like, Jon, preface anything with the like of this and SHOUT it with ALL
CAPS and I'm actually *less* likely to read the item. (And the subject
line is incorrect.  The most important read I will ever have is the Bible!

This at least got me to scan the message (but not go to the site, or
worse the appeal for donations at the end).  But how about some
perspective here:

The "new world order" is coming.  True.  God through John let us know
this about 1900 or so years ago, so what's new?

In Revelation, it doesn't call the Christians to this:

The book of Revelation calls the one who "has ears to hear".  In Chapter
22 it also says "Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be
filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy."
So we are not called to *oppose* it--it will be coming.  It calls us to
be alert and to continue to do right and be holy.

This should be a call not to *oppose* it, but to call others to join us
in the blessing promised in Rev. 22: "Blessed are those who wash their
robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they
may enter the city by the gates."

What are each one of us doing today to call others to join us in the
blessing promised?  *That*, IMO, should be the point of the message.
