What a weekend! Henry and Richard Blackaby spoke volumes of truth at the "Impacting Your Marketplace" weekend seminar. The event was held at the Trinkle Center on the HCC campus in Plant City. The crowd was much smaller than expected. I assure you, however, everyone who attended is better for it. God showed up. The Holy Spirit clearly spoke.
Henry's address at the Friday morning breakfast set the stage for a fabulous seminar: there is great need for us to discern the times in which we live. Jesus pointed to his world and cautioned, while religious leaders could observe the sky and predict the weather, they had great difficulty discerning the times in which they lived. Their was a 'disconnect' between the way folks were living and the doctrine of a soon expected Messiah. They missed the Messiah. They lost thier opportunity. They failed to 'seize the day.' (Luke 12:54-59) Many were busy with religion.
What about us? According to Blackaby, God is already moving in judgment upon America. Yet, while many are oblivious to this idea, others reject the possibility altogether. Oh, that the church (you and I) might awaken to the truth that everything our Lord has allowed in our lives up until now is for this hour! We have been strategically placed here by God to be instruments of mercy and witnesses of grace. Do you agree that we are already under judgment? Do you know the times in which we live?
