The three E's of Encouragement for End Times Endurance show up in the logo in such a way as to highlight a cross - a constant reminder that the encouragement needed to help us endure the end times flows from the cross of Jesus Christ. The three E's are also a reminder of the purpose of this ministry:
Encourage - because we all need it, especially now.
Endure - because we are naturally weak and by our human nature seek the path of least resistance.
End Times - because there are so many scoffers who scoff at the 4 things pointed out in 2 Peter 3 - 1) creation, 2) the flood, 3) the second coming of Christ, 4) judgment.
A friend sen
t me an e-mail full of a lot of cute pictures of little kids and their pets. At the end of the photo gallery was a statement: "Within the heart of every stray lies a singular desire to be loved." I think Solomon had something like this in mind when he wrote in Ecclesiastes 3:11 that God has placed eternity in the heart of every man. We are all looking to reconnect with God in some way or another, because when we do, we shall be whole again. Without God, we are like strays, looking for a good home, complete with some TLC.

The Cross? you may ask.
Indeed. We must first reckon with our sins the same way God did. It's ugly, brutal and bloody, but that's the only way. I'm sure most of us would prefer just to be able to put our hand in the hand of the man who stilled the waters, and keep walking our merry way, but that's not possible.
The way of the Master is "the other way." We have to turn around from the way we've been going, loving the world and all that is in the world and turn to Him. He loves us and He welcomes one and all who come by way of the cross.
Knowing that will help you to endure whatever comes your way.
