My whole life I have heard fundamental Bible believing Christians of all ages lament about the liberalization and anti-biblical changes to society we have witnessed over the last several decades. I have to confess I overlooked much of it as it was quarantined to what I deemed far reaching segments of society compared to my own sheltered conservative world in rural America. It seems to me more recently observing the blatant slaps to God’s face by those who would have us to recognize homosexuality as not being a sin we are reaching a point in the time line of history God gave us insight into on the pages his holy word about the end of time. While there were victories at the election box this month notably in California to ban gay marriage it is still very troubling how close it was and how accepted this has become to a large segment of the world even to require this type of vote in the first place. Those that would redefine the truth of God’s infallible word and the moral code that has been accepted throughout history will not stop as they view this as a civil rights struggle equivalent to that of minority rights.

We really are in a time that will test all of us who hold to the truth of God’s word and stand for Christ. The Bible tells us to not be troubled as we see this breakdown of society around us as it is a necessary part of God’s plan to wind down the time line of history and bring us to that great day when all truth and righteousness will be restored in the universe. Now is the time we have to focus our prayers that many lost in the lies of Satan as he deceives the world in accepting sin as acceptable will come to the glorious truth and knowledge of God’s righteousness and confess their sins to him. There is a way to escape the final judgement and wrath coming upon this earth and the inhabitants of it and that is through the Lord Jesus Christ who has delivered all those who will call on his name and accept his finished work on the cross for us. All of us have those in our lives we long for to have the conversion process of giving their lives to Christ. It is through our prayers and the examples we set that God effect his will of salvation to those who will come to him. Another truth we have to always remember is faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God so anyone we associate with who even remotely shows interest in what we believe we should immediately being to share the word of God with. The word of God is still the most powerful force in this world regardless of what the mainstream ideas of the day might be.

I pray today for the strength of all true believers as we deal with the ramification of the breakdown of morality around us but I know that God still has a purpose for us being in this sin cursed lost world or we would not still be here. Until that day the trumpet sounds we have an obligation to do everything we can to bring the truth to anyone we can and pray they will escape the eternal wrath of hell. This is what we are here for and what we are made for and that is to follow God’s plan not just for us but in saving a lost world so that they may come into the same glory as all the saints in history have come to the realization of.

God Bless,
