“But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.” – 2 Timothy 3:1
We tend to think, and with good reason, that we live in dangerous, discouraging, and confusing times. We see much false religion and so few faithful pastors and churches.

Many Christians are familiar with the name and ministry of George Müller. His work with orphans in 19th century England has been the inspiration for many others to live by faith alone. By the end of his life, Müller and his wife had provided through faith and prayer for more than 100,000 orphans (122,683 to be precise), distributed 250,000 Bibles and 1,500,000 New Testaments in many languages, and directed £250,000 to various foreign missionaries (a huge sum by 19th century standards), all without ever asking anyone but God for money.
