The Roaring Twenties!
"Therefore,
since all these things will
be dissolved, what manner of persons
ought you to be...?"
2 Peter 3: 11
The world decided to party it up in the 1920s.
Everyone was caught up in flappers, talkies,
gangsters, speakeasies, bootleggers, jazz,
new-fangled radios, and novel dances. But
the mood didn’t last. The Roaring Twenties
ran right into the Great Depression.
One hundred years later in these 2020s, it’s still
hard to predict the
twists and turns of the times.
The Lord has given us insights into the future.
Much of the Bible is
predictive prophecy.
When we study these passages, it contributes
to our Christian growth and godliness. We look
at the times, we look ahead at the prophecies,
and we ask ourselves, “How should I then live?”
The apostle Peter said, “And so since
everything around us is going to melt
away, what holy, godly lives we should
be living!"
"Look forward to that day and hurry it along."
Looking forward to God’s promise of new
heavens and a new earth” (2 Peter 3:11-13).
"The best evidence that the Lord’s return has
really
gotten hold of us is when we occupy till
He comes, do business for God, buy up the
opportunities."
Vance Havner
