IN DUE SEASON

How often we think and hear things like this:
“Something has to happen.”
“It can’t go on like this.”

Impending, unsolvable political conflicts and disease pandemics are out-pacing fiction writers’ imaginations.

People feel like society’s “autumn” is almost over and winter’s blizzards of destruction are coming fast.

There’s a general feeling that mankind is about to reap the harvest of its evil deeds. The harvest is overdue.

It is the “due season.”

As we survey the costs and hindrances to harvesting souls for Christ’s Kingdom, it is easy to feel faint. So many forces threaten the harvest everywhere.

However!

None of these forces cancel the Great Commission to go everywhere and tell everybody.

None of them void this promise: “And let us not be weary in well doing, for in DUE SEASON we shall reap if we faint not!”

That is the promise that assures the purchasing power of the dollars you give.

That is the promise that eases the fatigue on the mission field.

It is the “due season!”
