Living Hope and the Apocalypse. As Christians we have a Living Hope in Jesus Christ. However, sin and iniquity abound today, and we are warned that the love of many will wax cold. In addition, there are multitudes of Christians persecuted around the world. Further, in our weekly reporting we also discuss signs and wonders occurring as well. People are coming to the Lord. Yet, the full Apocalypse has not occurred. It is not as though we want the end to happen now.
