COMMON SALVATION, it’s for all of us…
There are so many influences pushing us, telling us to follow them, a cacophony of messages in an echo chamber of political correctness. The simple message of common salvation (Jude 1:3V) that Jesus Christ has secured for us is trampled by it. The pervasive movement by more and more of our civic leaders, modern entertainment icons, professors of “higher education” and even so called pastors at growing numbers of churches in every denomination, to erase this message for a more politically correct view point, one that would espouse everything and anything else that isn’t Jesus-centric, is anything but politically correct. We are in over our heads and it’s hard to tell whether anyone is noticing what’s going on? As we veer off track with ever increasing speed splintered in direction and purpose.
Consider these following statistics:
Among Christian adults:
• 64% believe moral truth depends on the situation;
• 60% believe male/female co-habitation outside of marriage is acceptable;
• 55% believe a good person can earn his or her salvation;
• 44% believe Jesus Christ committed sins while on earth.
And consider the peril of college students:
• 67% of college professors approve of homosexuality;
• 84% of professors approve of abortion;
• 65% embrace socialist and communist ideals;
• 88% of students from “Christian” homes deny their faith before they graduate from college;
• 91% of students from evangelical churches do not believe in absolute moral truth.

These things are happening, is there anything we can do about it? Is there a source we can address to turn the tide of these atrocious misgivings?
As God our Father, the Father of Abraham, Isaac and Moses begins to reveal the inner workings of His master plan to us through our modern day prophets it becomes clear what the near future holds for us as believers and non-believers. As believers we had better get our houses in order, push away what isn’t necessary and clutch on to our salvation as never before. There is nothing more important to us as the Blood of Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, His love for us and our love for one another. Remember that His love for us supersedes anything that might come against us as followers of Jesus our Christ, our Messiah.
The joy and excitement of the times we live in are evident, especially after listening to Joel Richardson whom I believe is a prophet of our God and is systematically revealing to us what our Father in heaven has revealed to this honest young man.
Here is the link for the interview of Joel Richardson by Jewish believer Sid Roth:

Even though Joel Richardson is subjected to threats of personal harm and death by those who disagree with freedom of speech and basic human rights, he continues to speak out what God has revealed to him and I pray for everyone to hear what this modern man of God has to say to us concerning our future here on earth and our relationship with our Father in heaven.

V Jude 1:3 Having made all haste to write to you about the common salvation, beloved, I had need to write to you to exhort you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.
(Adam Clarke: The common salvation – The Christian religion, and the salvation which it brings. This is called common because it equally belongs to Jews and Gentiles; it is the saving grace of God which has appeared to every man, and equally offers to every human being that redemption which is provided for the whole world.)
