Why People Feel Lost
Many people feel lost today. This is reflected in our culture — art,
poetry, books, magazines, music, movies, T. V. Shows. In a time when we
think we have more control we are finding most of life is out our
control (example - recent disasters, terror attacks). People are doing
their best to feel at home in this world. Everything centers around
self. The natural inclination of the unsaved heart is to think the
universe revolves around us. To think this way is spiritually insane.
We refuse to believe we should live for something more than this
present life. We treat this world as if it were the only home we will
ever have. We concentrate on arranging it for our comfort.
We find ourselves in a age of nuclear threats, torture, oppression, terrorism, brainwashing, and natural disasters. We expected life to be friendly instead it mocks our hopes leaving us frustrated and disillusioned. We thought we were wise instead we’re like children lost in the dark we ask, “Is there a plan?”, “What’s the point of this life?” God’s world is never friendly to those who forget its maker. God alone made life and only God can tell us it’s meaning. If we want to make sense of life in this world we must know God. And if we want to know God we must turn to the Bible.

Preserve Your Sanity
“THE END OF ALL THINGS IS AT HAND; THEREFORE, BE SELF-CONTROLLED AND SOBER-MINDED" 1 Peter 4:7
Peter is saying preserve your sanity. Don't lose your mental or moral balance in view of the nearness of the end times. As the end time approaches we need to keep alert and be aware of conditions in our world but not be thrown off balance or give way to panic. We are to be of sound mind. How many Christians thought the world would end in 1988 & 1989 or Y2K? Or today with the red heifer or the blood moons? The idea of keeping "sane" is that of thinking in a level headed way about yourself.
This sanity will lead to being "clear headed". The opposite of clear headedness is intoxication. So this word meant literally "not drunk" and figuratively that the mind was alert and clear devoid of mental intoxication or fuzzy thinking, or bad doctrine. The nearness of the end times is no excuse for believers to fall apart or drop out. We must be sound, stable, balanced mentality, it's time for clear thinking. Think clearly because the end of all things is near and you need to be fully in control of your thoughts.
