I am to the point that I almost dread reading the paper or watching the news. It breaks my heart, perplexes me, and makes me angry all at the same time. I am of the opinion that our previous president has either willfully or inadvertently done more to advance and promote the total acceptance into society of homosexuality, sodomy, and other deviant sexual practice than any other single person in history---living or dead.
Change has come to America. But what a change! There is no longer even a pretense of being a God-fearing nation. We have been much transformed into a pleasure-seeking, God-hating, Bible-loathing horde of whiners, narcissists, and renegades who defy God, decency, God’s law, four thousand years of human history, and common sense.
Any sensible person must surely conclude with the Psalmist, “Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his Anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.”
The Bible tells us that in the End Times that men will become lovers of pleasure. Even the churches will lead men astray. Children will turn against their parents. Jesus said that those who love Him shall be persecuted in his name.
Absolutely true, richq11. I wish that every person would read Paul's warning in 2 Timothy 3: 1-13.
The sad thing is that it doesn't even seem to matter to those that do...Nobody listens and nobody changes. We can only change ourselves. I read once that the best sermon is a good example. But we still have to keep trying to change people's hearts. I'm not optimistic. The Bible says that we will be persecuted and that those that kill us will believe that they're doing God's work. I believe that this life is just a test to see where we'll spend eternity...and from what I'm seeing, Heaven may be a lonely place!
You are certainly correct.. For me, In however many days our gracious Lord may allow me to pilgrim here on this earth, by His grace I am going to try to point as many as I can to our precious Redeemer. It has been many years since I trusted Christ to save me [1967] and I will tell you that I believe that there are quite a few waiting on the other side. May His blessing be with you.
There are many on the other side and I'm with you. It is our obligation as Christians to point as many as possible to the Cross. May the Peace and Love of our Lord be with you always!
OUCH!
You should keep your god in your church, please. We are all here in Steemit (product of 21st century) which is founded by secular rules. Because of replicable reasons. Please show some respect to all the other aduld people.
Hey, ouch.....I earned the right to express my opinion. Simple solution. If you don't agree with what I write....don't read it or walk away. I notice that you don't keep your "god" of humanism tucked away.
Ouch..Freedom of speech. I see you have no trouble voicing yours so let others voice thiers.. I happen to agree with Willsplace.. This country isn't the same as it once was. I am still relatively young and I can see a definite change in our culture...Not good!
Ok. Live on in fear of god and sorrows about the people. No problem for me. If you have no more problems, you are a lucky guy.
@afrog.. If you are referring to me I dont live in fear. I do however fear this new world for my unborn grandchildren.. With robberies on the rise and OD's daily why would you not fear? I just have to trust our God a little more and pray for protection..
Amen, godisgood. I am a "newbie" on this site...sort of overwhelms me at times...old codgers don'tlearn as easily as before. If you are new here, welcome and God bless.
