Understanding the Times

A call to spiritual awareness, discernment, and watchfulness in uncertain times.

“Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?”

— Luke 12:56

“But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life… Watch therefore, and pray always…”

— Luke 21:33–36

“We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.”

— 1 John 5:19

“In the last days perilous times will come… having a form of godliness but denying its power.”

— 2 Timothy 3:1–5

A Call to Discernment

Scripture warns of deception in the last days and urges believers to remain spiritually alert.
We are encouraged to be watchful, prayerful, and discerning in a world full of influences that
can lead hearts away from truth.

Special care is urged for children and young people, that they may be protected from harmful influences
and guided in wisdom and truth.
