The Perils of the Last Days
Many believers in this message can well remember the time when we were taught about the coming perils of the last days and the shaking time. But we need not longer look into the future for these experiences. We have entered upon the perils of the last days, and the shaking time is already upon us. Our own individual experiences teach us that this is true, and we can see the demonstration of it in others. As we hear now and then of the fall of one who has stood in the position of a leader, we must in all humility remember the exhortation, “Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” “Thou standest by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear.” The strength of the temptations which come to us in our own experiences ought to lead us to pray with much earnestness for others. In this time of peril let all the believers press close together, sustaining one another by prayer and words of Christian fellowship. Every member now needs the strength of the whole body exerted in his behalf, that he should not fail nor be discouraged. Press together. Help one another. “Let brotherly love continue.”
