Has anyone wondered as I have, how many more people are going to slip into the abyss of human depravity in the coming months?
How many families will be ruined by selfish, arrogant and entitled adult children?
How many more babies will die in the abortion mills?
How many more versions of debauchery will emerge from the masses of chuckleheaded liberal "free thinkers"?
What legislation will be proposed that further devalues the morals of America?
How many marriages will be destroyed in the name of personal unaccountability?
How many more church gatherings will inculcate into their services paganistic practices while elevating self to godlike status?
How many more believers will be maligned and persecuted for speaking truth?
How many good people will be chastised for doing what is right while evil people will be elevated and rewarded for their wickedness?
This list could fill volumes, how is it possible to increase in evil, without completely destroying a society beyond all recognition, never to be reclaimed or rescued again.
There are still many of us left who saw a very different America than our children saw. We stand in shock of the evil that our children and grandchildren think is normal.
I am here to tell the young folks, it wasn't like this 50 years ago. Children were careful how they spoke to their parents even into adult hood, they knew better than to chastise or mock them as they moved into their elder years. Now this practice of demeaning aging parents is common, all respect and honor is gone, at least in the part of the country I live in.
The government disallowed nearly all the sins that we have raised up as rights and privileges that would have made the founding fathers cringe at even a mention of them.
I am being told by others all over the world that it isn't just where I live, they too are experiencing this disappearance of honor and respect for authority. The authorities are no longer decent law abiding citizens who have integrity, but rather those who are rebelliously out of control who gain prominence.
Proverbs 16:31-32 "…30 He who winks his eyes does so to devise perverse things; He who compresses his lips brings evil to pass. 31 A gray head is a crown of glory; It is found in the way of righteousness. 32 He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.…"
We are moving into the end of the end times. The worst of the worst is coming upon the entire world, there is no turning back. The good news is that born again believers see this as a nearing the end of their stint on this earth, closing in on the last chapter as we look toward our heavenly home, the marriage supper of the Lamb and that amazing and glorious return of Christ to earth as a conquering King with US, His army.
Evil will be destroyed, God will make the earth new again and there will be peace and righteousness for the next 1000 years as we rule with Him.
The more we see these things come to pass the more excited I become. Yes, I grieve from time to time at what I see, but when I regain perspective over what I experience, I realize that my focus is often on the ills against me rather than God's provision and protection of me. How silly for us to be overly concerned about what man will do to us when we have the King of the Universe living in us. His promises to us are soon to be fulfilled, everything else pales in comparison to this.
May we keep our eyes on Christ and His promises much more than the slight irritation of wicked people for a season.
Romans 8:17-19 "17 And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him. 18 I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God.…"
