The Christian Post – Hatred for Christians is increasing at an alarming rate. We are persecuted constantly and many of us have been intimidated and forced to compromise and accept what God calls abominable.
We are finding it increasingly difficult to stand up to the world. The tidal wave of evil is sweeping over all the nations of the earth.
Pornography, homosexuality, transgenderism, abortion drugs and alcohol abuse are being supported by governments everywhere.
Some Christians hold to the “easy believism” trope that tells them they can live their lives how they want to, without repercussions, since their proverbial ticket to Heaven has been punched long ago. Many outside the Church say that humans are fundamentally good and can simply choose to be moral without the need for Christ’s sacrifice. Unfortunately, some Christian politicians are buying into these demonic ideas. How I wish that the present-day leaders of America will borrow a leaf from George Washington who said, “Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion.”
Scripture says: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter” (Isaiah 5:20). This is crucial because the distinction between good and evil is being lost by the majority of Western societies these days.
The fundamental right of Christians to express their views without fear has been upended. For fear of being victimized, many of us are now keeping quiet while evil prevails. It is not only the duty of Christians to live morally upright lives, but also to fight against anything evil. Keeping quiet while evil struts about is a moral failure on the part of Christians. God will not hold us guiltless if we do not do our duty and warn our cultures of the impending doom that awaits them (Ezekiel 3:18-19).
What is happening globally these days is a test of moral will and faith. The major challenge is not that these things are happening — it’s that our reaction to them is far too tepid. Are we becoming politically and socially compliant by agreeing with the world? We should as a matter of urgency examine ourselves to know if we are still in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5).
I strongly believe that if genuine Christians and pastors should make a commitment to evaluate themselves morally, repent where necessary, and take the responsibility to warn the world of the coming judgment, we might yet still witness revivals in our lands. The responsibility is ours.
THIS HIDDEN WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT COULD CHANGE YOUR WALK WITH GOD
Charisma News – June. 8, 2026 -- Most Christians know about the Ark of the Covenant.
Many know about the veil, the altar and the Holy of Holies.
Few know about the mirrors. During a recent interview with Charisma Media, Rabbi Kirt Schneider highlighted an often-overlooked detail in the tabernacle that reveals a powerful truth about spiritual growth, repentance and the work of the Holy Spirit.
The object in question was the brass laver, a basin used by Israel’s priests before they ministered before the Lord.
“One of the pieces of furniture inside the tabernacle once you’re able to see inside is something called the brass laver,” Schneider explained.
The priests came to the laver daily to wash themselves before entering into service. Yet Schneider pointed to a detail many readers miss when studying the book of Exodus.
“The Lord specifically instructed in the Torah that the brass laver, which was that place where the priests came daily to wash themselves, the Lord said it had to be made from the mirrors of the women that ministered outside the doorway of the tent of meeting or the tabernacle.”
The command was deliberate.
“It wasn’t just to be made of brass. It couldn’t just be any brass. It had to be made of the mirrors.”
Every detail of the tabernacle carried meaning because the structure was not man’s idea. It was God’s design.
“The pattern of the tabernacle was given from Hashem himself, from the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ,” Schneider said. “Every measurement, every type of material it was made from, every piece of furniture that was in there, the garb of the priest, every single part of the tabernacle was not the result of mankind trying to figure out how they could build a nice place to come and worship God.”
For Schneider, that means the mirrors were not an accident. They were a lesson.
“When those priests came to the brass laver each day and they leaned over it in the hot desert sun, what did they see? A reflection of themselves.” That image forms the foundation of Schneider’s teaching.
“What this tells us is if we’re going to be cleansed, we need to allow the Holy Spirit to be our mirror, showing us who we are and the truth about ourselves.”
In an age filled with distractions, noise and constant affirmation, Schneider believes Christians need the ministry of that mirror more than ever. “The Lord is always wanting to be holding up that mirror in our life so that we can see what it is that he’s wanting to correct, what it is that he’s wanting us to overcome, what it is that we need to change, where do we need to shift.”
The reflection is not intended to bring shame. It is intended to bring transformation.
Schneider pointed to practical areas where the Holy Spirit often works.
“How are you communicating? What’s the energy of your communication? Are you divisive? Are you gossiping? Are you accusing? Are you speaking in fear? Are you putting burdens on people that you shouldn’t be putting burdens on?”
According to Schneider, conviction is evidence of God’s love at work in the life of a believer.
“The Holy Spirit becomes a mirror.”
The response to that mirror determines whether growth follows.
“If we’ll allow him to show us ourselves and say yes to him and agree with him, then what happens is that’s repentance. We are cleansed and transformed.”
The lesson hidden within the brass laver challenges a common assumption about spiritual maturity. Growth is not simply about gaining more knowledge or accumulating more information. It begins with allowing God to reveal what needs to change.
Schneider described the principle in simple terms.
“I think this is huge because I think the only way of transformation is through self-awareness and this is what the Holy Spirit wants to be for us, a sacred mirror.”
Thousands of years ago, priests approached the brass laver before entering deeper into God’s presence. Before they ministered, they stopped and looked.
The Holy Spirit still performs that work today. He reveals what has been hidden. He exposes what must be surrendered. He uncovers attitudes, habits and strongholds that keep believers from walking in greater intimacy with God.
Spiritual growth does not begin by looking around at everyone else. It begins when we allow God to show us ourselves and respond in repentance.
The path to transformation has never changed.
LIVING OUT OUR FAITH
When sharing our faith, authenticity matters more than eloquence. Hebrews 4:16, Bible in a Year, Job 35-38, 1 Peter 1:6-9
True faith is based upon Scripture and embraces its eternal principles. Genuine belief trusts that God is who He says He is and will do everything He has promised. But faith isn't meant to stay hidden-it's to be lived out where others can see it.
How can we share our faith with those around us? Words matter, certainly. We can verbally explain what we believe and why. But our actions often speak even louder. A godly lifestyle often influences people for Christ more effectively than words alone ever could.
Consistency through trials demonstrates the reality of our faith. When difficulties come, the way we respond tells others whether we truly trust God. As we persevere visibly through hardship, what we're sharing is more valuable than gold or silver.
Prayer is another powerful way to influence others. When we bring someone before the throne of the Almighty, we're doing eternal work in those quiet moments. And we're learning for ourselves that God is faithful-even when circumstances look impossible (Hebrews 4:16).
Consider different ways you can live out your faith. And ask God for the wisdom to know where and how to share the good news of Jesus.
In Touch Ministry
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU? Do you have someone on Earth that you know who loves you so much that they would be willing to die for you in your place, so that you may live? Do you know that there was someone that was here on Earth, who is alive today, that loves you so very much, that He has already died for you? His name is Jesus and now resides in Heaven. He died on the cross at Calvary so that you may never die, but have ever lasting life with Him, His Father and all your Family and Friends who have gone on before you and who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. They all are waiting for you and you will have fellowship with them again if only you have received Jesus as your Lord and Savior. James 4:13-14 indicates that we are not promised tomorrow! Don’t wait too long, Tomorrow you may not be here! The alternative is pure Hell!
A SUPERNATURAL EVIL: A GLIMPSE OF HELL ON EARTH
This might just be the strongest and most convincing advertisement for accepting Jesus as your Savior there is.
Bill Wiese, the author of "23 Minutes in Hell," says there is one period of time during the Tribulation that will be hell on earth for those alive to experience it. He asks, "Why would any rational person reject Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and be forced to endure what is coming?"
"Some may say I exaggerated the torment I experienced in my '23 Minutes in Hell,'" Wiese says, "However, hell can never be exaggerated by anyone. The Tribulation period will certainly be like a Hell on earth. But there is one aspect that occurs during the seven-year period that is actually a supernatural evil.
"Revelation 9:5-6 speaks of the demons that are released on the earth during that time," he says. "And it says, 'To them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months, and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he strikes a man. In those days, man shall seek death and shall not find it. They shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."
Wiese says demons will ascend from hell to torment the people who have taken the mark of the beast, a mark people will take to buy or sell anything. The Bible says that anyone who takes this mark is doomed to hell, and the mark will also reflect an allegiance to the Antichrist.
"During this five-month period, these people cannot die, no matter how terrible the suffering they experience," Wiese says. "The tormented will find no relief. Even their unimaginable attempts to end their misery in suicide will be unsuccessful. This is similar to hell. In hell, you are like the living dead."
Take a clue from this very real look at the future. Accept Christ as your Savior and eliminate all uncertainty. View Bill Wiese discussion on this at: https://youtu.be/QRMpqW3X6wU.
