We Used To Call Them Tantrums

We used to call them tantrums when children, in an out of control demanding way, kicked, screamed and cried, because they were not getting their way.

When they are adults who do this we call it narcissistic rage. I manifests itself in a slightly different form but amounts to the same thing.

We are seeing more of these adult tantrums than ever before because of the traits that are mentioned in 2 Timothy 3.

2 Timothy 3:1-5
"3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these."

The only hope for this country is the spiritual healing power of Jesus Christ when these adult children repent from their arrogance and self righteousness. God promises that most will not listen, but we speak because some might. God knows who will and who won't, it is His business to figure it all out.

Ezekiel 2:6-8 "…6 "And you, son of man, neither fear them nor fear their words, though thistles and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house.
7 "But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious.
8 "Now you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you."…"

Forget what their response might be, just obey and leave all the results to the Lord.
