Evil is not only being allowed and tolerated but celebrated in our day, it is a very hard time to be living in our world. Everyday we see new things rottonizing our children and destroying family unity.
The closer we get to the time of the Lord's return, the more despicable our culture becomes. The elements I have noticed missing the most, are love, empathy and kindness.
Pride rules the day, most people are looking to protect their own desires above all else, while despising those who think we should do otherwise.
I have quoted 2 Timothy 3 more times than I can count in the past year, in an effort to comfort those who are experiencing the antics of narcissists, who think that they are more important than anyone else and rabbit with anger when anyone suggests that they are ungodly and unloving. The gospel offends those who have elevated themselves to godlike status.
As believers we don't have to be whipped around by the machinations of those who attempt to use or abuse us emotionally or spiritually. We can remain being controlled by Christ, withdrawing from the world as God leads, as stated in 2 Timothy 3 when God says "from such turn away."
We have great hope in the face of all this wickedness, the hope of our future and that no one who wants to become born again, will be and after the last one accepts Christ, we will be going home. Hallelujah!!!!
