From Coast to Coast, Satanic Evil is Being Embraced by Multitudes!

From the streets of San Francisco and Los Angeles to the heights of power in Washington D.C., corruption and depravity are running rampant and increasing in frequency and intensity each day that passes!

Monstrous events are transpiring of a sort I had never expected to see in my lifetime as a citizen of the United States of America!

I find it very sobering to see the pages of the Bible being fulfilled before my eyes; it helps me better understand the people referenced in the Bible who personally experienced, one day at a time, the extraordinary events described.

Living each day, as those events take place, requires a steadfast walk of faith if one is to avoid the pressure and panic of circumstances. It is becoming increasingly evident we are living in the last days described in the Bible.

I find it a great blessing to often meditate on Ephesians 1:11 where it is written:

“¹¹ In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,“

All that is now happening is in accordance with the will of the Lord Jesus Christ! Nothing that is happening is beyond the direct control of the Lord Jesus Christ; it appears God’s hand of judgment has enveloped this nation and this world!

As bad as it is now, it will only get worse after the removal of the restraining ministry of the Holy Spirit!

As one examines the pages of the Bible, it appears one is reading a commentary on current events:

“²⁴ Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, ²⁵ who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

²⁶ For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. ²⁷ Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

²⁸ And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; ²⁹ being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, ³⁰ backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, ³¹ undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; ³² who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.” Romans 1:24-32

“3 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: ² For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, ³ unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, ⁴ traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, ⁵ having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! ⁶ For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, ⁷ always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. ⁸ Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; ⁹ but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.” 2 Timothy 3:1-9

“¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, ²¹ envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:19-21

Many Types of Sin but Only One Answer!

It would be an exercise in futility to try and counter the many different manifestations of sin that can be found in society today. All of them are nothing more than symptoms of the basic problem facing mankind; the dead spirit inherited by birth into the family of Adam!

In his grace and mercy, God has provided the only solution that works, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior!

“⁶ For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷ For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. ⁸ But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹ Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. ¹⁰ For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. ¹¹ And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.” Romans 5:6-11

Jesus Christ was lifted up on the cross that all who looked to him for salvation might be saved. Jesus Christ is the only answer to the multitude of problems mankind is facing today. John 3:10-17

“³⁶ He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” John 3:36

The wrath of God is to be feared:

“¹¹ Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. ¹³ The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. ¹⁴ Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. ¹⁵ And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:11-15

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be Saved!
