A Time for Faith, A Time for Us
“If you are not firm in faith, you will not be firm at all.”
(Isaiah 7:9)
When my wife and I were married, the music by Kusic and Snyder was played. It is the Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet. One of the phrases of this piece articulates-“A Time for Us, Someday Will Be…” This music was beyond my 21 years. It was beautiful as haunting, but I could not fathom the emotional depths of this piece. Now, 29 years later, I know that it was well chosen, and its depth has been felt as lived.
Today, there is a deep need among the Lord’s people in the churches of Christ to rededicate their lives. Faith is not a mobile made in a Bible class, nor a Mobius Strip made at the university.
1.      Faith is an unseen reality of God with his people (2 Cor. 5:7).
2.      This faith has a primary focus in the Christ who always leads in triumphal procession (2 Cor. 2:14)
3.      This Christian faith results in good courage (2 Cor. 5:6,8; 1:24).
This is truly a time for faith, and a time for us! The present is indeed directed by the future. The Lord is there (Ezek. 48:35)!
