A Great Waste

You don't have to do what they say. There is a better way.
You don't have to waste your life trying to preserve any of the slowly self-destructing nations of this world. They all are self-destructing, you know. They cannot help it; their sin builds up, and there is nothing to take it out.
You don't have to waste your life trying to keep any of the lands of this world from the steady increase of sin and evil. No matter what you do near you, there are others doing twice as much damage, somewhere else.
You do not have to waste your life in the form of one ant trying to stop the Sherman tank which is the sin and self-destruction of this whole world.
There is a better way: to know what God has decided.
God has decided that this world is too evil to keep forever. He has decided to destroy it. There is nothing you can do to change His mind. He has only one very good option for you: He desires to take you out of this world to Heaven, and for you now to work for Him, helping take others out to the same place.
If you no longer desire to live in futility, if you no longer desire to save the world, the better way awaits. All you have to do is abandon your hope of this world, and God will take you to His hope, the hope that never fails, that never weakens, that will never cease.
If you need help finding this hope, please contact any of the many who have it. The hope is the love of the Lord Jesus Christ, and we who have it, are all very happy to help.
