Meanwhile, multitudes of people are dying all over the world because of reasons that nobody wants to know about. Wars are killing innocent civilians every day for stupid, needless reasons that nobody wants to face or put a stop to. Children are being molested and raped and killed all over the world because, while people just turn a blind eye to it all, the horror continues. People are being trafficked and drugged and neglected and nobody cares. There is unimaginable suffering...and life just goes on as usual without so much as a prayer for others.
Why? Because we have become the most unconcerned, uncaring, unloving generation since the time of Noah. And if you remember, Jesus said:
"But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be." (Matthew 24:37-39)
And even the Apostle Paul alluded to the days in which we
are living when he wrote to his protégé Timothy:
"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God" (2 Timothy 3:1-4)
Friends, Paul warned us about the "strong delusion" (2 Thessalonians 2:11) that God would send upon those who closed their eyes to the truth. He warned about what would happen to those who went along with the crowd...those who stood for nothing and fell for everything. He told us the signs that we need to be watching for and the warnings that we need to pay attention to.
But to many Christians, those are just words on a page that most have never even read or heard because they pick and choose which parts of the Bible they want to believe. They don't want to believe that God is not only a Loving Father, but that He is also a Just God, a God who judges rightly and who will punish the wicked for their choices. God will do EVERYTHING that He says He will do, and it's our job to know the Truth and to be warning the wicked, sounding the alarm and telling those around us about the Jesus Who can save their souls and turn their lives around.
Each of us are responsible to do our parts, Christians! The day is growing short, and time is running out. Tell your loved ones...REPENT! Tell your neighbors...REPENT and turn to Jesus. Everywhere you go, people need to know the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. And Friends...if we don't tell them...who will?
