They Won's Listen But We Can Be Safe

Jeremiah 6:10 "To whom can I give this warning? Who will listen to me? Look, their ears are closed, so they cannot hear. See, the word of the LORD has become offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it."

This is our world today, most people now resist instruction in righteousness. Most "Christians" are afraid to speak openly about Jesus Christ because they fear losing family and friends.

Proverbs 29:25-26 "25 The fear of man is a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is set securely on high. 26 Many seek the ruler’s favor, but a man receives justice from the LORD."

We live in an age in which there is a "form of religion" we call Christianity, based more on feelings and desired beliefs than on the Bible. It is a form of Christianity liberally peppered with paganism and cultural standards.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 "1 But understand this: In the last days, terrible times will come.
2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good,
4 traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!"
Matthew 24:12 "Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold."

1 Timothy 4:1 "Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,"
2 Peter 3:3 "Most importantly, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires."

Jude 1:18 "When they said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow after their own ungodly desires.”

These kinds of people are not those who are rare or obscure; they are the entire culture all the time. The reason we tend to dismiss attitudes is that we were raised in them, and they feel normal to us.

 
Those who follow Christ are very few and are not accepted by the rest of the culture.

 
Romans 1:29-31 "They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents. They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless."

Even those who think they are not like these last days people are in many ways, just like them, only a little more hidden.

 
2 Timothy 4:3 "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;"

Since we know these are the times we live in and it is not an indictment against us when people despise us, we can be filled with joy at knowing we belong to Christ and He is the One Who keeps us safe from those who wish to destroy us. And, we know we will be going home soon because these things we see are the proof of the end times and it will all be over soon.
