We're going to be talking this morning about the terminal generation.

Now probably some of you were in Jan Markell's session a few minutes ago.

Maybe you were, maybe you were not.

But it's kind of interesting.

In fact, I'll be doing a radio interview with Jan in just a few days.

But she's an incredible teacher, but it was interesting to me that we both felt led to do a similar message,

although we're going to approach it probably from a little bit of a different angle, perhaps.

But let me be clear up front about two things. The first thing is,

I am so honored that you are in this room to listen to me because, after all, if you were

not here, I wouldn't have nearly as much fun. You know, I've talked to myself before, and I do

get some great answers. But I'm so glad that you're here.

But the second thing I want you to know is that I have a deep conviction of, I believe,

of the Holy Spirit of God that we are in the end of the end times.

And the truth of the matter is that I'm praying that God will raise up a group of Christians

as the men of the tribe of Isacar

were in First Chronicles 1232 men who understood the times in which they lived and women

and who knew what they ought to do.

And that's where we are today.

We are in desperate need of people who can spiritually discern the times in which we live

and realize that the fields are widened to harvest, but the laborers are not only few, they're scarce.

And so we need to become that true salt and light in the days that we have until Christ calls us home, which could very well happen this day.

You know, one of the things that I do, I shared this with someone yesterday, and I thought I'd just share it with you briefly.
