“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, without natural affection, unyielding, slanderers, without self-control, savage, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away.” 2nd Timothy 3:1-5 “And even as they do not like to have God in their full true knowledge, God gives them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with every unrighteousness, sexual perversion, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, depravity; whisperers, defamers, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do them, but also approve of those who practice them.” Romans 1:28-32 The other day I was at a local grocery store picking up a couple of items. This grocery store is interesting, though not a small one, certainly seems to attract a crowd of people who are blatant about who they are. The store is busy, the lines are full and as I am waiting in line I have a couple of minutes to simply observe. For a long time I have been trying to put my finger on exactly what seems to be wrong with a certain segment of society. Sure you have the...

“And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” Matthew 24:12 Take a good look around the world nowadays. Certainly things have been getting worse and worse, likely to accelerate as time goes on. There are still a lot of ‘good’ people out there, people who care, people who help others, people who think of their neighbors and community, even people who will still help out strangers. Our societies of the world have certainly fallen and in previous times of history things have actually been much worse in certain regions. What we do see here, happening all over the world, is also an escalation of lawlessness, also known as iniquity or sin. The Bible clearly states the connection between iniquity and cold love. I wonder how much of this is related to ‘without natural affection’? “For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is clearly recognized by them, for God has revealed it to them. For ever since the creation of the world the unseen things of Him are clearly perceived, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they know God, they do not glorify Him as God, nor are thankful, but become vain in their reasonings, and their stupid hearts are darkened. Professing to be wise, they become foolish, and change the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and birds...

“Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has been released from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh in the lusts of men, but in the will of God. For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in licentiousness, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. In this regard, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same overflow of dissipation, blaspheming. They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.” 1st Peter 1:1-5 All over the world people have their sunglasses on in regards to the Truth. They are blinded to the reality that is all around them. They can not see because they refuse to see. They are willingly ignorant to the world around them, to God’s Truth. “And the disciples came and said to Him, Why do You speak to them in parables? He answered and said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of Heaven, but to them it has not been given. For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do...

“And as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, without sin, unto salvation.” Hebrews 9:27-28 As people lives their life accordingly, they do as they want, they live as they want, they are whether knowingly or unknowingly awaiting judgment. Many times a person throughout their life will consider the possibility that they will stand before God, for all will stand before God (Rev. 20:12). However, for numerous people, the problem is the same. They hear God’s Truth, they hear portions of the Gospel, they hear a pastor preach or read something and they ponder. They ponder whether or not there are truth to these things, they ponder whether or not they are on their way to Hell and if what they hear is true. Some people on the other hand simply believe, and from time to time they plan on doing these things, they plan on repenting and by faith believing into Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. What they don’t realize is that they are awaiting judgment. Right now every man, woman and child are awaiting judgment. They are condemned, there is no hope for them, without Christ. Should they be absent from the body, they will not be home with the Lord (2nd Corinthians 5:8). Right now all men everywhere, who have not repented and believed the Gospel, through only Jesus Christ one can be Saved, are awaiting judgment. “Therefore remember...

“There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices divination, or conjuring, or fortunetelling, or sorcery, or one who charms magic spells, or a medium, or a wizard, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination unto Jehovah, and because of these abominations Jehovah your God is dispossessing them before you.” Deuteronomy 18:10-12 Apparently we have fallen so far in apostasy that what should be clear lines regarding God’s Truth and the things of Satan, have been so blurred that there is now so-called ‘christian’ psychics. The first I heard about such a thing was in our local newspaper in Kalispell, Montana. I had seen the advertisements, the large signs pop up locally for a couple of buildings where psychic readings are being given out. Now in our society, such things are not a surprise, but when I saw a local write-up in the newspaper, I was shocked to hear that such things are considered to be Christian by some. The psychic, while holding what appears to be Tarot cards, claims that the gift that she has is from God. She proclaims to hold to Christianity, praying for every meal, and makes known that she does not believe she can abuse the gift that she claims God has given her, or else He will take it away. This abuse seems to be related to self gain, rather than so-called helping others. “You believe that God is One. You do well. Even the demons...
