A WARNING FOR THE GRUMBLERS IN THE CHURCH

Numbers 11:4;10 The rabble who were among them had greedy desires; and also the sons of Israel wept again and said, "who will give us meat to eat?" Now Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, each man at the doorway of his tent; and the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly, and Moses was displeased.

When Israel was miraculously delivered from Egyptian bo***ge, they were not alone in their journey through the wilderness. There was a mixed multitude of people. There were Egyptians that fled with the Jews for no other reason than the fact that they saw the fierce wrath of God on display and thought it best to leave their homeland with Israel so that they could escape judgment. They were not God's people. There hearts had not been changed at all and they had no genuine love for God or for his people. It was purely a matter of self-preservation. They weighed the odds of survival between staying at home with Pharoah or leaving with Israel and concluded the odds were better with Israel so they packed their bags and left. God let them leave with Israel and they got to see the miraculous power of God's wrath and God's mercy in the wilderness. No matter how much evidence they were given of God's power and provision though they were never satisfied. The Bible says, "The rabble who were among them had greedy desires," (Numbers 11:4). They were constantly complaining and grumbling no matter how much God cared and provided for them and they provoked Israel to complain and grumble too. God provided water but the rabble wanted more than enough. God provided enough food, but for the rabble it wasn't the right kind and it wasn't enough. The rabble remembered the meat and the leeks and the fish and the onions they ate in Egypt and complained that the Lord did not provide the same in the wilderness. Israel complained for the same reason even though, in all likelihood, they never did enjoy the same diet as the citizens of that country since they were there as slaves and not citizens. They started weeping at the doorway of their tents at night and Moses was kept awake by the moaning and groaning of over 2 million people in the middle of the desert. God did not have compassion or sympathy for this kind of weeping and crying. Instead, the Bible says it made God furious. His wrath was kindled by their tears. If we are not careful, the church can invoke the same emotion from God by listening to and copying the grumbling of the tares that are always in its midst. There is a mixed multitude of people among the church just like there was in the desert. These men and women are called tares and they have been planted by the enemy. It doesn't matter how much they see God doing in the church they will always have something to complain about. In fact, the more God moves in power the louder their voices of opposition become. They will talk about the good old days that were had when another pastor was there or when a different group of people were doing much different work for the Lord than what is being done now. They will grumble against the direction that the church is going in. They will magnify every perceived problem and constantly warn that the church is headed in the wrong direction. It isn't Biblical enough they'll say or it's allowing the wrong people to serve or the music is too worldly, not theologically rich enough. They will say that the work of the Spirit is actually the work of the devil. They will never be happy until they have provoked the church to complain and whine and cry with them. If they are catered to and listened to they will invoke God's displeasure and grieve His Holy Spirit. Jesus said not to uproot to the tares otherwise known as the rabble. He said to let them grow up together with us and in the judgment he himself will separate them from the church. We cannot let the rabble's influence to keep us from worshipping and obeying the Lord or from loving and enjoying one another. We have to be salt and light in their midst and be content with what God is doing in our lives and in the lives of the church. Once an attitude of bitterness and ungratefulness sprouts up in the church it is really hard to overcome. The wheat must choke out the tares instead of the tares choking out the wheat. This we will do if God permits. We must keep the faith, not grumble, and trust that God is moving and working in power in our midst and not be discouraged when the church moves through dry places. In the end God's blessings are sure to flow mighty and abundant among his people. The true church will walk on the water of his blessings. The rabble will simply drown.

THE TRAGEDY AND DANGER OF UNBELIEF

Hebrews 4:1 Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, anyone of you may seem to have come short of it.

It is possible to become so hardened by the deceitfulness of sin, that you can be permanently sealed in a state of unbelief and therefore completely cut yourself off from the grace of God forever. This is why just 8 verses earlier the writer of Hebrews said, "Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God," (Hebrews 3:12).

I've often thought about what would make God so furious with a man that He would say what He said to the unbelieving Jews in the wilderness, "As I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter my rest," (Hebrews 3:11). I've come to the conclusion that it's a combination of 3 things.

1. They did not believe in the grace of God.

2. They did not believe in the judgment of God.

3. They did believe in the deceitfulness of sin

On the first point that, "they did not believe in the grace of God," This is evident from reading the books of Moses and studying the Jews' deliverance from Egyptian bo***ge and tracing their wandering's through the wilderness. They heard God's word through Moses that they would be delivered from bo***ge under Pharaoh. God performed many miracles through Moses and sent 10 plagues to Egypt and then Pharoah let them go. As soon as they were free and got to the red sea, they started complaining to Moses that God brought them out there to die in the wilderness. It seemed to them that the sea was blocking them from escaping Pharoah's army. Even though they had seen God's hand move in power time and time again on their behalf, they refused to believe that God's grace would fully liberate them. Despite their grumbling and lack of faith, God parted the sea anyway and drowned Pharoahs army behind them. I wonder if this describes you in any way? Has God brought you through one impossible situation after the next, and yet you have refused to trust in His goodness and grace every time another trial or temptation comes? I will tell you plainly out of love that it is not cute or acceptable or a cause for sympathy in the mind of God for you to continue to refuse to believe Him and to trust in His grace when He's moved on your behalf, time and time again. To do so is to play with fire literally because, "Our God is a consuming fire" (Hebrews 12:29). God is patient, yes, but his patience wears out when we refuse to believe in Him after he has repeatedly shown us that He is for us and not against us. God was angry for 40 years and allowed them to wander in the wilderness. He continued to provide for them and granted them a cloud in the day to keep them cool and a fire at night to keep them warm in the desert. He extended grace by providing daily food from heaven and by not allowing their clothes and sandals to wear out and yet they still complained and still refused to believe that God didn't take them out there to kill them. Has God brought you out of slavery and provided for you time and time again but kept you in a place of limbo in life because you refuse to trust him fully and let go? You are on very shaky ground if that is the case. God's patience will wear out if you do not trust in his grace! The second thing I mentioned is that "They did not believe in the judgment of God." It's a curious thing and seemingly a paradox that those wanderers simultaneously did not believe in God's grace or his judgment. God had given them the 10 commandments and attached blessings and curses to them depending on whether they obeyed or not. They had already seen his judgment for idol worship and for breaking the 2nd commandment, and yet they continued to break commandments by coveting food and grumbling against the Lord. They watched as the ground opened up and consumed thousands of men for sinning against the Lord, and yet they continued to grumble and continued to covet. They believed that those who were destroyed by God must have somehow been worse sinners than they were and that God would not judge them for their lack of faith and obedience. But, as we see, that was not the case. God judged all of them and let the whole first generation die in the wilderness. It was precisely because they did not believe in His grace or his judgment that he killed all of them. Does this describe you? Have you refused to believe in either the grace or the judgment of God even though you have heard repetitive warnings in your heart to turn from sin? I will tell you again that God's patience does wear out. He will not strive with man forever. If we are to live eternally, we must believe that Jesus is both a God of grace and a God of judgment. If we refuse his grace and the blood that was shed to secure it, we will most certainly face His wrath for doing so. Paul said, "Behold, the kindness and severity of God!" The last point I mentioned is that, "They did believe in the deceitfulness of sin." Did you know that sin talks to us? It tells us lies continuously. Damning and destructive lies that the Jews just went on believing. Things like, "God doesn't love us."He brought us out here to die in this wilderness." And at the same time sin will say, "God will be merciful to my rebellion forever."He wouldn't really send me to hell for refusing to believe and obey."What I'm doing is not so bad. Other people have done way worse than me, and God has been merciful to them, I'm ok to keep living how I'm living." My friend, sin lies to you! It lies to me! It lies to all of us. We sin and refuse to repent because we do not believe God! We refuse to repent because we have an evil heart of unbelief. The longer we go on sinning and not believing, the harder it becomes to repent and believe. One day, it may very well become impossible to repent and believe! What a terrifying thought! Has Jesus made himself known to you through both his gracious works and words of warning? Has he brought you through every trial and temptation of your entire life and continued to draw you and call you to believe? To repent and turn to him? Have you refused to believe in either his grace or his judgment, all while believing sin's lie that God will not judge or that God does not care or even worse that God does not see you? My friend, you are in a terrible place! A dangerous place! The only right thing to do is to fall on your face and beg God to grant you mercy and a repentant heart while there is still time! The writer of Hebrews is clear that while a promise of entering his rest remains, we should fear the Lord, lest any of us may seem to have come short of that rest. Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your heart. You may not ever hear it again.

THE MOST IMPORTANT MISSION OF OUR ENTIRE LIVES

John 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

Mystical, metaphorical, allegorical interpretations of Scripture will always be more popular than expounding on the plain teaching of the Bible. Spiritual theories do not shut us into accepting what Jesus has said and done as absolute fact. For example, we can come up with our own theories and interpretations of what the death of christ accomplished. We can say that Jesus died to leave us an example of how selfless and sacrificial we should be in the way we love others and attribute no further meaning to it than that. When in fact, the primary reason Jesus died was to make atonement for all the world's sin. All our finite sins compiled together were laid on him and they required a sacrifice of infinite worth (meaning God himself), to make atonement for them all. But if we ignore all that and say that Jesus merely died as an example for us of how we should love sacrificially, then we never really have to confront the reality of how sinful we are and how much we need the blood of Christ to be cleansed and forgiven of our sins. This is just one example of how we can interpret Scripture in a metaphorical way and miss the literal plain meaning of it altogether. Anybody can make the Bible say whatever they want it to say. They can turn Jesus into the kind of person that is Pro-Feminism, Pro-LGBTQ, Pro-MAGA, Pro- (fill in the blank). And to be sure, that's what countless millions of people have done with Jesus. They've turned him into a philosopher, an educator, a civil rights activist, a psychologist, a therapist, and even a business consultant! We turn Jesus into someone who satisfies are every desire and ambition rather than crowning him Lord and Savior and Master and King and God. When we "spiritualize" Scripture to build our own version of Christ and reject the plain teaching of the Bible we have done nothing more than pervert the word of God and have turned Jesus into our own spiritual pr******te whom we pay with our token prayers and obedience to whatever parts of the Bible that don't seem too radical or complicated or hard to follow. What I am talking about is the chief way that false belief of Christ and counterfeit Christianity has presented itself in the last days and I fear that those who develop these doctrines of demons will grow more and more clever and corrupt, for Paul said that in the last days "Evil men will wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived," (2 Tim 3:13). In order to understand Scripture you must be born again and the only way to be born again is to confess and repent of your sins and believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, calling on him as the only Lord and savior by whom we must be saved. The Holy Spirit will guide you into the truth of his word after that and reveal to you who Jesus really is, what he came to do, and who we are and how we are supposed to live in light of that. The vast majority of what people have considered to be genuine revival and genuine faith in the Christ of the Scriptures has not been that at all. They have believed on a god to be sure. They have believed on a Jesus to be sure. Just not the God of the Bible. Not the Jesus of the Bible. The Bible doesn't say whatever we want it to say. It doesn't mean whatever we want it to mean. Jesus is not whoever we want him to be. The Bible says exactly what it says. It means exactly what it means and Jesus is exactly who Jesus is. It is the most important mission of our entire lives to know Jesus as he truly is and to know his word as it is in truth.

A DIRE WARNING AGAINST LUST

Job 31:9-12 If my heart has gone astray over a woman or I have lurked at my neighbor's door, let my own wife grind grain for another man, and let other men sleep with her. For that would be a disgrace; it would be an iniquity deserving punishment. For it is a fire that consumes down to Abaddon; it would destroy my entire harvest.

In our s*x crazed, outrageously perverted culture, almost no one understands how absolutely disastrous and destructive the sin of lust is. Paul told Timothy to flee youthful lust that wars against his soul. Paul told the whole Corinthian church to flee lust for the same exact reason. The Thessalonians were told specifically that it was God's will for them to keep away from s*xual immorality, that each one should know how to control his body in holiness and honor. The sin of immorality is so severe that Paul told the Ephesians that no immoral or impure person has an inheritance waiting for them in the kingdom of Christ and of God. No, I fear that the church is far to easy on itself and one another when it comes to this sin. I believe that if we really took God at his word and we knew beyond all shadow of a doubt that if we continued to practice this sin we would burn in hell for all eternity that we would do what Job did and make a covenant with our eyes to not look on anything immoral or impure and thus be tempted to sin against God and against our spouse if we have one and even against our own souls! Why do believers get caught up in the bo***ge of this sin if they in fact truly believe God's word? The reality is they don't believe. We believe in the Law of gravity. That's why we don't jump off a tall building and assume we can fly across town. We know we can't do that! There will be no victory over this terrible sin until we see it the way that God does. The writer of Hebrews says that God will judge fornication and adultery. It's not if he will its when. We will justify this sin in any number of ways because it's so easy to be tempted and so easy to give in that we assume God will not deal with a heavy hand concerning it. Nothing could be further from the truth! Job said it is a disgrace. It is an iniquity deserving punishment. It will burn his whole life to the ground and that is exactly what it does. It burns men's life to the ground. Do not be easy with yourself about it. Whatever you have to do to avoid it, do it. There's nothing more severe than having two eyes and yet burning in hell. We will be free from it only when we believe what God has to say about it and make a covenant with our eyes to not look upon another with with impure intentions.

THE ILLUMINATING WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

1 Corinthians 2:10 For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

If you go on the internet and type, "What does 1 Corinthians 2:10 mean?" You will gain access to a thousand different commentaries on this verse. You could read every single one of them and come away from it not understanding this verse one bit more than you did before you searched for the meaning even if you were told what the plain meaning of it was. We have more access to more information on the Scriptures than any previous generation in the history of the world. We can read journal entries, peer reviewed papers, blogs, books or watch YouTube videos on just about any subject and at the end of the day not understand it one bit better. Paul made it clear that a time was coming when men would be, "ever learning but not able to come to the knowledge of the truth," (2 Timothy 3:7). He said that, "the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned," (1 Cor 2:14). This is a result of sin and the fall of man. Without the aid of the Holy Spirit we are simply not able to fully comprehend the wisdom of God. If anyone seeks to understand God's word without the aid and illumination of the Holy Spirit he will not be able to even if he assumes he understands. They are victims of the blinding of their minds. Paul says, "being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart," (Eph 4:18). Sin blinds us from the truth. Sin hardens our hearts to the point that even if a 1000 men come to us and say, "This is the truth and if you don't respond properly you will die!" We will still refuse to see it or respond appropriately and we will die in our sins. It is not facts that we need. It is not more evidence that is necessary. We are not deprived of information. We have all these things in abundance. It's not information we need it's revelation! It's illumination that is vital! If the Spirit does not open the eyes of our heart and illuminate our minds we will never understand the truth! We need an anointing! To those who understand God and understand the truth in His word, John says, "But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things," (1 John 2:20). Oh how we have need to understand our utter lack of ability to see and believe on our own. Christ could come personally and perform miracles right in our face and without the Holy Spirit communicating the meaning and purpose of it we would still not believe in Jesus or see who he really is. This explains how so many people could see the works of Christ and hear his words in the gospels and still walk away from him and even worse, seek to kill him! Paul said if the rulers had understood the wisdom of God, "they would not have crucified the Lord of glory," (1 Cor 2:8). Consider your conversion dear Christian. How many times did you hear the gospel preached, how many times did you read the Bible and get absolutely nowhere with it? Or how many times did you feel like you understood it but had absolutely no ability to respond to it appropriately? And then one day a man full of the Holy Spirit came along and communicated the gospel to you and he preached on a passage you heard and read a thousand times but that day..... That glorious day!!!! You heard it much differently than before. You saw what you could not see and you heard what you could not hear. It became personal. Intensely personal. God was in the room and he removed the scales from your eyes and removed the stony heart out of your flesh. He gave you new eyes and a new heart and you could finally see! You could finally believe!!! Suddenly the gospel became the most beautiful and glorious news you ever heard and you said yes to Jesus. That was the work of the Holy Spirit. Apart from Him performing His glorious work the word of God would still be nothing more to you than a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. It would still be a fairy tale and not a very good one at that. Do you see how vital the work of the Holy Spirit is? How grateful we should be if we understand and cherish the word of God? Many people have desired to hear what you hear and to see what you see and have not been able. Does what I'm saying produce a feeling of jealousy in anyone? Does it make you say to yourself, "I want to see too!" "I want to understand the gospel and understand God!" "Lord, I want to believe, please, help my unbelief!" If so, I believe God is calling out to you. Search for him as for buried treasure. Beg for him to show you His glory. Beg for him to save you. You are not far from the kingdom of God.

MY PRAYER TO GOD THIS MORNING.

*Let me say that as soon as I got done writing this prayer out in my journal this morning that the Lord answered me in this way... "You have been resentful of the fact that you are always in need of me when you should be praising me for the fact that you have been needy and sensed that neediness since the first day you called on my name. Unless you humble yourself as a small child you will in no wise enter the kingdom of heaven." I hope that in itself sets someone free like it did me! I have joy in my heart right now.

Ephesians 3:16-19 I pray that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power in your inner being through His Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being firmly established in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God's love, and to know Christ's love that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

God, I do not sense that I am filled with all the fullness of God. I feel empty. I am not a man who is in possession of your fullness, but I am a man who desperately longs to be filled. God, in your great mercy and love, if it is indeed great mercy and love; please grant that Paul's prayer for the Ephesians be applied to me through the intercession of the Holy Spirit. That I might be satisfied in my spirit with all the fullness of God. Jesus, I do not envision you at this moment as one who dwells on the throne of my heart, but I am keenly aware of the fact that I will never be content in this life or the next until you have your way with me and in me; until the barbed wire of sin is removed from the throne of my heart and you are granted access to sit in your rightful place as my King and the one through whom I live and move and have my very being.

Lord, I do not sense that I have been strengthened with power in my inner being through your Holy Spirit. I feel powerless to do any good thing. Powerless to withstand the never ending onslaught of sin. Powerless to remain standing when the fierce winds of trial and temptation blow and waves of iniquity come to beat against the temple of my spirit and the whole house comes crashing to the ground over and over and over again. What is it to be rooted and grounded firmly in your love? I must confess that I have no comprehension of it whatsoever. But I want it Lord! I want to know what it is to be rooted and firmly established in love. I desperately long to know Christ's love and not mere intellectual knowledge of it. The kind of love that surpasses knowledge. God, I cannot rest, I will not rest until you hear and answer me from heaven! Please deliver me from having to much of you to be comfortable in the world and too much of the world to be comfortable in you.

Lord, let your great mercy triumph over judgment! Please let my prayer be accepted and my requests granted rather than rendering it all an abomination from your throne. If I am Powerless, where else can I turn but to the source of all power? If I am needy, who else can I turn to, to supply the need? If I am powerless, what other name can I call on for power but the Holy name of Jesus? If I am empty, what other God is there in the world that can fill me? If I lack the kind of faith that justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies, what other way can I receive it besides asking for it? What can I give you in exchange for my soul? If I am nothing and have nothing who can give me anything or make me anything other than you? I am completely undone without you! I will burn for eternity if you do not hear and answer from heaven and you would be just in your judgment, but for the sake of your goodness and kindness and glory, please Lord, in your wrath remember mercy. Please grant that I would be named among the redeemed and that I might be forever changed by your love and by your grace for all eternity. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

WHAT WILL IT BE LIKE WHEN THE LORD RETURNS?Matthew 24:37-39 For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days ...
02/07/2023

WHAT WILL IT BE LIKE WHEN THE LORD RETURNS?

Matthew 24:37-39 For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

1. MEN WILL BE UNCONCERNED.

In the days before the flood came the book of Hebrews says that "By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of righteousness which is according to faith," (Hebrews 11:7). Noah worked diligently for 120 years on a massive ark that would save his family and much of the animal life on earth, but men paid no attention to it. They ate and drank, they married and were given in marriage. They were totally unconcerned about the fact that God gave humanity 120 years to repent and place their trust in him. Noah and his family were the only ones who took the word of God seriously. Everyone else just went about their lives as if nothing had changed or would ever change. It was business as usual. When it comes time for Jesus to come back to judge this world it will be exactly the same way. Men might be warned that judgment is coming but they will find themselves doubly damned by God because not only will they laugh and scoff and ask, "Where is the promise of His coming?" (2 Pet 3:4). But they will deny that he ever judged the earth with a flood the first time. They will say in response to such a threat of judgment, "For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation," (2 Pet 3:4). The first time judgment came it is easy to imagine them saying to Noah, "What is all this rain you keep talking about?" "We've never even seen it rain on the earth!" "Do you really believe all this crazy stuff about a flood and world wide judgment?" "You have absolutely lost your mind Noah!" I can imagine it being a real scandal for a time, but by the time 120 years past I bet no one made a big deal about it anymore. In fact, I bet nobody thought anything about it at all anymore. They had long since drained the well on jokes about Noah and jokes about judgment. It is likely that they didn't even consider the massive ark anymore. It may have been convicting to see the sight of it at first, for the Lord's Spirit still strived with man, (Gen 6:3) but it had long since lost its ominous character. It was just a big boat built by a big fool until the rain began to fall. Men forgot all about it and kept eating and drinking and living their lives. They were unconcerned and none of it meant anything to anyone anymore. That is exactly how it will be when Jesus comes back. The world will be unconcerned.

2. MEN WILL BE UNBELIEVING.

When Jesus comes back Peter says "men will come with their mocking," (2 Pet 3:3). Have you ever mocked someone when they threatened to hurt you? Maybe you repeated their exact words back to them in a really stupid sounding tone of voice because you had absolutely no fear of that person harming you and full faith that they either wouldn't or couldn't hurt you. That's exactly how men will respond to God in the end because they simply do not believe that He will come. Most men won't believe in God at all, let alone a message of judgment, but rest assured judgment is coming. The fact that no one will believe it doesn't make it any less true. "Let God be true and every man a liar," (Romans 3:4). 120 years of warning produced nothing but apathy in the heart of man. Now, 2,000 years of warning has produced not only apathy, but absolute total unbelief. Faith will be so rare on the earth when the Lord returns that he even asks the church, "When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8). He doesn't ask that question because he assumes He will. He asks because He knows He won't! That is one of the many reasons that I believe in the rapture of the saints. The Bible teaches that just prior to the tribulation there will be a great falling away from the faith and that God will even remove His Spirit out of the earth who is currently restraining evil to a large degree, (2 Thes 2:3;7). I believe He will rapture the church that is Indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God and when he does all hell is gonna break loose on the earth! Faith, at the moment of the Rapture and by the end of the tribulation will be almost totally non-existent. Antichrist will kill almost everyone that possesses saving faith by the time Christ returns. The days of Noah were marked by unbelief and it will be the same when Christ returns.

3. MEN WILL BE UNHOLY.

In the days of Noah men were so wicked that God said he was sorry that He ever even made mankind, (Gen 6:6). He gives us very specific details about the condition of their hearts and that condition will be the same condition of men's hearts when he returns. This is what the Bible says about mankind in the days of Noah...

Genesis 6:5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

When Jesus comes back, men's hearts will be filled with nothing but evil intentions continually and those intentions will spill out into actions. This whole world is gonna be filled with drunkenness, debauchery, selfishness, violence, perversion, idolatry, and wickedness. Their will be nowhere to escape from it. People will be perpetually angry, afraid, ashamed, and hostile towards the things of God. No one will trust anyone, no one will know anything about genuine peace, or joy or wholeness. Men will be lovers of self and lovers of pleasure. They will be empty and narcissistic. Iniquity will abound and men's hearts will grow cold because of it. Are we not right at the door of this? Holiness is almost completely erased from this world. Purity? There's almost nowhere that a man or woman can look where they will not gaze upon sin. There is almost nowhere you can go where you will not hear an evil conversation or an evil song or some sort of evil sound. We are so close to the days of Noah, even at the doors. Jesus has his hand on the doorknob of heaven and He is ready to come judge this world for its unholiness, for its unbelief, and for its unconcerned disposition towards him. Are you ready to see Him? Have you turned from the wickedness in your own heart and the wickedness of this world and placed your faith in the only one that can save you and deliver you from this present evil age? I pray you won't delay any longer! He could rapture the church at any moment. He could start the clock on the final judgment whenever He pleases. I want you to be ready. Jesus wants you to be ready.
