Core Truth: In a world which is being shaken in every sense of the word – from literal earthquakes, floods and other elements of nature, to political and social turmoil and upheaval, to violence and warfare – both here in our nation and even on a global scale, the call of our Scripture today is to remember Whose we are and how we are to live and conduct ourselves in such momentous times.
Scripture: Hebrews 12:25-29
See to it that you do not refuse to Listen to Him Who is speaking to you. For if they did not escape, because they refused to listen to him who warned them here on earth, how much less can we, if we reject Him Who is from heaven? Then His voice shook the earth, but now His promise is ‘Once more I will make not only the earth but heaven itself tremble.’ Now that expression, ‘Once more, ’ signifies the final removal of the things that can be shaken, to let remain the things which cannot be shaken. Let us, therefore, be thankful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and in this way continue to serve God acceptably in reverence and fear; for our God, indeed, is a consuming fire.
