“In Times Like These” is a theme that has fascinated me ever since I heard a song with the same title.

I had heard many sermons about last-day events in which the speakers gave a list of traits we need to possess in order to stand firm in trial. I was determined to get ready fast, for I was convinced that time was short. I worked hard on gaining victory over defects of character, I tried to change my temperament, I learned how to be independent of grocery stores by identifying wild edible plants, etc.

As a young man, with no support from anybody, I found it hard to get ready on time, until I heard the song “In Times Like These” for the first time. It was then when I understood that Jesus and Bible truth is what I needed to possess first and foremost.

Knowing Jesus and being aware of His promises gave me peace and assurance for the future. I am still working on getting ready, but it is not hard anymore.

Dear friends, I hope that you will be blessed and motivated through the reading of these articles, to get to know Jesus through the book of nature and divine providence, as you trust the promises of His word, the Bible.
