Hebrews 3:6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

The coach calls a time out. The opponent has run off eight straight points and our lead has been cut in half in just three minutes. He puts in a fresh set of legs at guard and a small fast forward. “We are going to out run them by changing from zone to man to man.” A change in strategy is required. The same thing happens in football at half time. If what got you to the Super Bowl isn’t working, a new strategy is needed.

Everything is reactionary. Polls are taken, what is popular, what is not. What is working and what is weak. We shift priorities and put our resources where we think they will do the most good and little leaks become a flood. We are always on the defensive. Negative after negative after negative is thrust in our faces.

Christ did not call us to be members of His household to be on the defensive. We are called to obedience of faith to enact God’s will. This is not our plan, not our strategy and we are to carry out His will for us. His promises are true, He is God. The hope that we have lies in His promises not in what we see in the world.

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

If you truly want to see an end to all that is wrong in the world, preach the gospel.
