The whole world in becoming more and more evil.
Matthew 24:37-39
"37 For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.
38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,
39 and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be."
This time it will not be a flood, but terrible wrath of God on every front. The misery upon the earth will be so great that the people will ask for the mountains to fall on them.
Luke 23:30 "30 At that time, ‘They will say to the mountains, “Fall on us,” and to the hills, “Cover us.”'
Revelation 6:16 "And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:"

There Are Times to be Unbalanced
I wrote this in response to a brother in a recent post, I thought I would share it here.
The reason I may seem unbalanced in my posts at times is because I am attempting to give the side of things no one else knows about or is too frightened to express.
There is rejection involved in telling the whole truth, especially if almost no one else believes it.

Don't Worry About Telling the Truth
We do not have to withhold truth worrying that someone will take it the wrong way.
We can speak truth, all of it and rely on the Lord to use it with anyone He chooses.
Just speak truth, don't worry how it will be used, evil doers will twist anything and everything to justify their sin, that's not our problem.
Zechariah 8:16
"'These are the things which you should do: speak the truth to one another; judge with truth and judgment for peace in your gates."

Question it All
Question everything you were taught, especially if it came from the field of psychology or the modern church system.
Psychology is based on a system of "cause and effect", a Darwinian premise that people are basically animals and only act badly when treated badly or act good because they are treated well.
The truth from God is that man is basically wicked, rather than Darwin's idea that man is basically good. The devil always preaches the opposite of what God teaches.
Since Darwin's aim was to discredit God in every way possible, then we can expect that everything he said was based on that mentality.
God says this:
Jeremiah 17:9-10 " 9"The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it? 10" I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds.…"
The world hates God, rejects His ways and despise those who obey Him.
John 15:18-19 "18 If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. 19 If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world."
If the devil can get the world to operate against the ways of God, he can destroy many people in the process. All he has to do is get them to buy into many wrong thinking patterns, while making them think it is all good, then he can ruin families, communities and everything in between, including the church.
The plan of the devil is to replace God's principles with good sounding ideas that add a sentence or two of God's ways, basically corrupting all of God's principles.
When we are aware of the devil's devices we will obey God, but the rest of the culture who does not seek the Holy Spirit for wisdom, will agree with the ways of the devil instead of the ways of God.
Ephesians 6:11-18
11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
14 Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,"

Brain Washed by Psychology
Two things that our modern church cannot wrap their mind around because they have been brain washed by psychology.
The concept of forgiveness predicated on repentance and all pictures of men depicting Christ are idols.
I find it interesting that so many people do not want to make anyone accountable for their sin, claiming that we should forgive without requiring confession of the sin against us, when they would say they believe that one cannot come to Christ unless they confess their sinfulness.
It is my belief that people do not want to accept the idea that we must confess our sin to be forgiven, because they want everyone else to ignore their sin. They hate the idea of admitting they have sinned, they sense a loss of power if they confess. They think it makes them seem weak, so they prance around spouting psychology to absolve the sinner of his accountability, in case they need this same absolution one day.
Those who love Christ confess often to Him their failings, but most people do not do this, they love to pretend they don't do wrong things, hoping everyone will merely grace them with forgiveness even though they are not sorry for anything they did.
If we take this thinking to it's logical extreme, then we must forgive the one who rapes and murders a woman, just because! There is no justice in this wicked version of forgiveness. It is not from God nor does it do anything of value, in fact it serves to empower the wicked rapist and murderer to continue his behavior.
NO, NO!!! We should not be forgiving those who are not sorry for their sins. It is wicked to empower the evil person while leaving no justice for the victim.
Jeremiah 6:14-16 "…14"They have healed the brokenness of My people superficially, Saying, 'Peace, peace,' But there is no peace. 15"Were they ashamed because of the abomination they have done? They were not even ashamed at all; They did not even know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; At the time that I punish them, They shall be cast down," says the LORD. 16Thus says the LORD, "Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, Where the good way is, and walk in it; And you will find rest for your souls. But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'…"
Notice in verse 14, "they have healed the brokenness of My people "SUPERFICIALLY", in other words they have buried their heads in the sand while the rapist and murderer are given special status as the victim is pressured and demeaned for not forgiving one who is not only not sorry but will do the act all over again when given the chance. We know he will because he was not sorry the first time.
Psychology has managed to brain wash two generations of people to operate in the exact opposite of what Christ taught. Christ is not a squishy marchmallo who winks at the evil of the rapist while beating up on the victim, this is a satanic false Jesus who loves to make the victim feel guilty for getting raped and murdered.
I personally do not forgive wicked men or women who refuse to repent, that would be against God's justice. If God has not forgiven them then I have no right to forgive them, I am not better than God that I should do something He would not do.
How dare you self righteous types pressure and demean those who are obeying God, while you pressure them to disobey God. Forgiveness is for the repentant, not for the wicked heart who loves their sin.
The false and unjust view of the modern Jesus has corrupted many, empowering evil people to remain evil, while bludgeoning the victim without cause. Shame on you!
This is the same mentality that causes many people to hide the sins of family members, thinking if we are nice enough they will stop their evil behavior, just the opposite is true.
Isaiah 26:10 "10 Though the wicked is shown favor, He does not learn righteousness; He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness, And does not perceive the majesty of the LORD."
Now I write to those who are victims of evil people, you are only required to forgive them if they confess, if they will not then you must remove yourselves from them, praying that perhaps one day they will admit their sin. In the mean time, get on with your life without them. Carry on for Christ knowing He knows all about their stubborn hearts, it's His business, you are free to move on. You will not become bitter because they will not confess, but they will grow more and more bitter as their heart hardens a little more with each day they refuse.
Hebrews 3:15 "15 As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”"
Matthew 18:16-17 "…16 But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector. "
1 John 1:10
"If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."
1 John 3:8-10
"Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother."
Luke 17:3-4 "3 So watch yourselves. “If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. 4 Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.”"
Notice that God says "IF they repent, forgive them."
We are to go to those who have offended us, if they repent then they are forgiven, if they do not then we are not to forgive them, we are to walk away and treat them as an enemy. A friend would be sorry for the harm they do us, in fact a true friend would feel bad before we would have to say anything to them.
We live in a corrupted world, all the teachings of psychology are designed to allow people to continue in sin without any consequences.
