April 30, 2022 - It's Saturday, April 30.
On April 30, 1989, something happened that changed our world completely. Something was invented that day by the British scientist, Tim Berners-Lee. He christened it "The World Wide Web". And in just over 30 years, within the lifetimes of my daughters, the way we gather and share information has been altered in a way that the world hasn't seen since Gutenberg invented the printing press six centuries ago.
One of Gutenberg's greatest achievements was the printed Bible. Before that time, God's Word was only available to the wealthy or to the clergy. With his new invention, Gutenberg opened the scriptures to the common man.
And through his invention, Berners-Lee opened the Bible to the entire earth. In Matthew 24:14, Jesus is teaching His disciples about the end of time and He says this - "The gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the whole world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."
I suggest to you that we are seeing this prophecy fulfilled - the good news of salvation is being made available to the entire world - through the World Wide Web. It's a sign of the times and we are witnesses.
Meet you back here on Monday,

P.S. - Next Thursday at noon we'll have a National Day of Prayer event here in Center. I hope every one of our faithful readers will join us, as we meet in front of our historic courthouse!
