| Dear Young Christian: |
| This summer, I have been in several countries on several continents, including the USA, Trinidad, the Bahamas, Germany and Egypt. Everywhere I go is the same story: “Where is it going to end … how can we fight terrorism … what about the economy … why doesn’t the government act? This morning, while discussing world affairs with the brother in whose home I am staying, it was said, “The world is upside down!” It made me think of the accusation against Paul and Silas in Thessalonica. “These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also” (Acts 17:6). |
| Yes, the world does seem upside down due to the fact that Christ and Christianity have been, for the most part, rejected. It is not the preaching of the gospel or the Christian that has turned the world upside down, but the fact that Satan, the god and prince of this world has had his sway. However, there is a day coming when the world will be turned right-side-up, and “the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings” (Malachi 4:2). |
