The world has become too fast. So much so that we are forced out of balance by the change in pace and what is needed for godliness is no longer possible. We need men of God surrendered to the Master and living according to His pace and timing. This is the only way to stay in step with and stay ahead of the increasing rapidity. Slow down to stay aheadThe fight to slow down has never been harder

And lo thy pace is still in good measure on. More yet my feeble eyes canst now I see that which thou canst not. Brother the way ahead is straight and true. On my brother certain in Christ press on.” “Praise Christ brother Doubt this day thine eyes are good and mine. My back that ere to now not tested is by grace to thee given.”
