Tomorrow may be that Lord's Day that the Holy Spirit moves over the pulpits of this land like strong winds over a wheatfield. That's what I think to myself every Lord's Day....and that will indeed happen in God's perfect timing.
I imagine that it will go something like this. The pastor will have felt uneasy all week ....troubled over what is going on in our nation....troubled over the man who he had voted for as president....but as the years passed showed himself to be a severely disturbed individual.
He will enter his pulpit and look over the smiling faces....and look down at his notes that he was never happy with.....maybe a full minute will pass as the congregation ponders if something might be wrong. The pastor will slip his notes in his pocket and ask the congregation to turn to the 24th chapter of Matthew.....and then read the descriptions that the Lord Jesus gave to his disciples about the very last of the last days before His Second Coming.
His wife might look up at him...wondering what happened to his prepared sermon. The pastor will then break from normal worship service protocol and give a long solemn prayer about how we as a nation and a church have let the cares of the world take our eyes off of our Lord and Savior and coming King.
He might next tell his congregation to turn with him to the book of Revelation.....and begin there reading until the beginning of the second chapter. There he will ask those in front of him to consider each and every letter written to the seven churches....asking the church members to apply every warning given as if written directly to them....and to this church of which they are all members....for that is what he himself has been doing all week.
He might then continue to read up till the first two verses of chapter six....and close his Bible....and end the service in the normal manner....except he might just sit down in a pew and pray instead of walking to the back to greet everyone as they went home.
