Doom & Gloom But God Still Doing Amazing Things

Jesus told us very clearly that events on planet earth would get worse and worse before His return.

This blog spends lots of time reporting on the things Jesus told us to "Watch!" for.  Of course He knew that people who live their lives believing that Christ could return at any moment will live more sober, evangelical and joyful lives.

So yes, lots of wars, rumors of war, perversion, violence. hatred, false religions, false Christs, earthquakes, famine and death are all around us....BUT....make no mistake...GOD is still at work drawing people to Him.

Here is some GOOD NEWS to ponder on the Good Friday.

Amidst all of the doom and gloom of today s news headlines, it is easy to forget that God is still working in miraculous ways.

In the hour before Harvest America began, every allotted seat and standing area was filled, and officials locked the doors and asked the overflow crowd to stand outside the stadium and listen while watching the external large screens placed there.

Officials say the event was watched by more than 350,000 people in person or via live broadcast to more than 7,200 host locations worldwide, covering 123 countries across the world, including all of the United States. 

In addition to the more than 80,000 who filled AT&T Stadium, about 180,000 participated in some type of venue that carried the broadcast, and about 90,000 viewed the webcast on Harvest America s website.

The event was also broadcast live on 600 radio stations and on JUCE TV, a Christian network. All in all, about 25,000 people (at least 6,000 who attended the Arlington event and another 19,000 who watched the broadcast) reportedly made commitments to embrace the Christian faith after hearing Laurie s message called The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.

It was said to be the largest Christian stadium evangelism event in North Texas in 14 years. In 2002, about 255,000 attended the four-day Billy Graham Mission, an average of almost 64,000 for each service.

"We pray that each and every one of these individuals gets connected with a local church and begins growing in their faith, sharing what has happened to them with others in their circles of influence... that is our prayer for the ultimate impact of this event because that is how true revival begins."

In the account provided by Jane Rodgers for the Baptist Press, Prestonwood pastor Jack Graham s quote probably summarized the event outcome and its future potential best. 

He said after the event: "Harvest America was exceedingly more than we could have asked for or expected&To see thousands streaming down to the field at AT&T Stadium after the invitation is a sight that will be etched in our memories forever. My prayer is that Harvest America will be a catalyst for a renewed commitment to evangelism by churches all over the world."
