Abby: I took a butter cream cake to the church bake sale. Everyone said it was so rich and delicious that I must have used real butter. But when I told them I'd used diet margarine, they were all stunned.
Abby: So you're saying the antichrist could be on earth now?
Con: It only makes sense. Jesus said no one knows when the end will come except for God. Not angels, not even the Son. That includes satan. So he must have someone ready in every generation who can become antichrist.
Nim: Fascinating. I wonder who is out there right now, unaware that he might become the ultimate evil on earth.
Abby: My money's on whoever created the "choke collar."
Nim: I've been having a rough time lately. Why is God letting this happen?
Abby: Isaiah and 1 Peter speak of believers in terms of gold, which is "tried" by fire to become pure. Likewise, people become pure by being "tried."
Abby: But you should always remember that some of God's greatest blessings can only come from hard times. Charles Stanley calls them the Blessings of Brokenness.
Nim: (!)
Everyday, our brothers & sisters in Christ suffer for their faith. Pray for these persecuted christians right now. #christianpersecution #iamachristian @samaritanspurse #prayer
