3 Timothy 3:1-9
“But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power.”
there has never been a more important time to walk with the LORD. the modern world has officially reached sodom and gomorrah levels of degeneracy, and it seems that without God, there is nothing we can do about it.
not only is the modern man rampant with degeneracy and sin, but they show pride in it as well. they parade in the streets about it. whether we're talking about abortion, homosexuality, adultery, pride, sloth, or greed, it all comes from the same origin, which is satan.
Christ said "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone." i certainly do not claim to be perfect, i have sinned so much i could never remember it all. but people take advantage of this quote, either because they want an excuse to continue their evils or because they dont understand the meaning. people use this phrase as a way of saying, "you have sinned before, you are not perfect, therefore you have no right to point out what im doing wrong, and you have no right to try and stop me." people who understand Christ's message should very easily see the absurdity in this. Christ does not want us to condemn, or harm the sinner, but he wants us to show them how they are wrong, and to correct them. to stand by and allow the sinner to continue his evil without making an attempt to put an end to it is nearly just as bad and definitely more cowardly. after all, Christ did tell us that he did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
in the last decade, if not earlier, it has been made clear that there is an outright, worldwide attack on Christianity. you can see evidence of demons everywhere you look. “pride” flags hang higher than the flags of nations. “pride,” one of the seven deadly sins, has been a worldwide movement for the last decade. parades throughout all major cities, celebrating sodomy and adultery. naked homosexuals marching around flaunting their degeneracy children, women having double-digit sexual partners before marrying an unfortunate man, “men” spending years of their lives playing nintendo and posting about it on reddit, this is what we have come to embrace as a people. it seems like most of the world has fallen into complete hedonism, and all it took was iphones and facebook to kickstart it all. the boomer generation kicked off the hedonic lifestyles with their greed, but the generations following have covered just about every other deadly sin without missing a beat.
like Nietzsche said, God is dead, if only he knew what was to come, his 19th century mind im sure could never be able to comprehend the current landscape. God is absent in modern men. and what i mean by that and what Nietzsche meant by that is not that there is no God or that God has abandoned us, but we have abandoned God. subconsciously, because we have access to all of humanities information and data in the palm of our hands, we equate ourselves to Gods alike. modern man believes not only does he not need God, but he is a god in and of himself, and thus, they worship themselves. morality has become subjective as “now, there is no need for some centuries old book! we know right from wrong!” except you dont. right and wrong is not subjective. how could we all agree on what is moral and what is immoral if everyone makes up their morals themselves? without God, this becomes futile. without God, you have no reason to follow morality when it does not benefit you, so you wont.
what we are left with is women whoring themselves on the internet in countless ways, having unrestrained amounts of sex partners while they are still young and attractive, and if they get pregnant, hey, its okay, because they can go to a doctor so he can kill the baby - in the name of “women’s” rights of course. love is nowhere to be found.
what we are left with is men who create nothing, spend there days playing playstation, watching pornography, masturbating. lusting over demonic women on the internet, giving them their money, somehow not realizing that that women he’s giving money to barely sees him as human. the few men that are successful with women are out constantly, trying to swindle dumb and naive women into bed with them, like a fisherman casting line after line, waiting to catch whatever was willing to take the bait. love is nowhere to be found.
we are living lives devoid of God, thus we are living lives devoid of love.
