Even the secular community is noticing that things are getting worse in the world.
They are saying things like; "it can only get worse as we see society going into these narcissistic tendencies."
And, they are saying what we need is a disaster to wake people up to their "need for each other", and "perhaps a world leader who sill help us out of this mess."
I listened to secular psychologists say these very things this morning. One of those psychologists purports to be Christian and yet he is speaking just like the seculers.
This is the very thing we can expect in these last days. Things getting worse and then the onset of a world leader claiming to be Christ.
We are being groomed right now by "Christian rock stars" and "prosperity preachers" who are preparing the culture to believe in the false Christ.
We have a leader right now who claims to be a Christian but denies his need for repentance. He is standing for the things that agree somewhat with Christian principles but deny the true Christ as he sits under a false teacher in his church.
All this "Jesus" talk is leading to the false Jesus, we know this because of the false doctrines they are espousing as they smile big smiles and dance and sing as though life is good.
Where is the weeping over sin, where is the seriousness of sermons that encourage holiness and self denial. These do not exist in the modern apostate church.
2 Timothy 4:2-4…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.…"
We are going to lose friends, we will be rebuked for speaking truth by others in the churches we attend and on mediums like facebook. Members of our own families will gossip against us, telling lies about being self righteous and mean spirited, ascribing to us their own attitudes.
Matthew 10:21-22 "…21 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death. 22 You will be hated by everyone on account of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved."
Proverbs 29:27
"An unjust man is detestable to the righteous, and one whose way is upright is detestable to the wicked."
Isaiah 66:5
"You who tremble at His word, hear the word of the LORD: "Your brothers who hate and exclude you because of My name have said, 'Let the LORD be glorified that we may see your joy!' But they will be put to shame."
Matthew 5:10
"Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Do not allow any of these things to discourage you, they are to be expected and ignored. We cannot change anyone's heart nor can we convince anyone. We are merely to tell the truth, walk away and leave all of the results to Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:6-9
"6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.
7 So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building."
It is God's word that is powerful not our delivery. Never mind the response to us, God takes care of His own Word and it is powerful.
Hebrews 4:11-13
"11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.
12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.…"
