<p>Thank you for bearing with last week’s long-winded word. These are crucial times, and the Lord called those “hypocrites” who understood the weather better than the signs of the times (see Luke 12:56). If we are going to be the salt and light we are called to be, we must understand and be engaged in the times. This is why every prophet in Scripture addressed current events, and numerous ones had words for many nations. This is part of what we are called to do but not all of it.  <a href="http://www.morningstarministries.org/resources/word-week/2012/slaves-christ-path-life-part-38?utm_source=The+MorningStar+Ministries+eNewsletter&amp;utm_campaign=eb8fdbf62a-eNewsletter_November_05_2012&amp;utm_medium=email" target="_blank"><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">READ</span></span></strong></a></p>
