We are not called to survive the last days—we are called to shine in them. Today’s message is not about hunkering down in fear or obsessing over every global headline. It’s about living boldly, intentionally, and godly because time is short and eternity is real.
Our springboard for today’s discussion is:“Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness?” — 2 Peter 3:11 (ESV)
You don’t need to be a prophet to see that we’re living in unusual times. There’s a shaking—socially, politically, spiritually. But Peter doesn’t tell us to panic—he tells us to pursue holiness.
That’s not a word you hear much these days. Holiness. Godliness. But that’s exactly what the Lord is calling for from His people. As the world drifts into chaos, the people of God should be rooted, radiant, and ready.
Living bold in the last days means standing when others fall, speaking truth when others stay silent, and living clean when compromise is trending.
It means your faith isn’t hidden—it’s alive. Your worship isn’t just on Sunday—it’s a daily declaration that Jesus is Lord.
It’s not about building bunkers. It’s about building up the Church. Not escaping into fear—but engaging the battle with courage and conviction.
Jesus isn’t coming back for a lukewarm, distracted bride. He’s coming for a Church on fire, clothed in righteousness, and listening for His return.
Question of the Day:If Jesus returned today, would He find you living boldly or blending in?
Mini Call to Action:Choose one bold act of faith today—whether it’s sharing your testimony, praying aloud in public, or turning off something that pollutes your spirit.
Let’s Pray:Jesus, make me bold in these last days. Strip away fear, apathy, and distraction. Let my life burn with love and holiness. Come quickly, Lord. Amen.
Let’s Get To Work!This is not the time to shrink back. You were born for this moment. Stand tall, live loud, and prepare the way for the King.
