“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.”
–2Timothy 3:1
The Bible warns of ‘perilous times’ during the last days and so they are.
One of the reasons for peril is the world will offer virtues which are not. They sound good but, upon closer inspection, are selfish, man-centered, antichrist ones.
The values which built civilization as it has been known for the last 4000 or so years will be rejected and exchanged for those which tear down families, God and life itself.
Concepts such as SIN, FEAR of GOD, FAITH, PATIENCE, SELFLESSNESS, SALVATION, RIGHTEOUSNESS and CHARITY are being exchanged for the world’s weak tea of
- Tolerance (of sin)
- Love (of approved attitudes only)
- Freedom (from the commandments of God)
- Liberty (from anything which restricts an individual’s choices)
- Self-expression (celebration of self and the elevation of self as the highest standard of moral validation)
- Open-mindedness (of wickedness)
- Choice (of evils)
These new virtues are exalted by the world and placed above all others. Anyone with competing values will be shouted down, labeled “old fashioned” or worse.
Jesus? Don’t push your superstitions on me! This is 2016!
Though values have rapidly changed, many new values have appropriated the names of the old values. This is especially noticeable in what the world now calls “love.”
The world’s new version of love emphasizes self, self and more self. Many younger folks believe love has to do with control: either gaining or giving up.
The old value of love was SELFLESS and concerned with the other person’s well-being ahead of one’s self.
This exchange of social values will only get worse and will turn the meaning of words completely upside down.
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
–Isaiah 5:20
HAS the reader fallen under the spell of the new values?
THERE is still time to change directions (repent) and call upon the name of the LORD.
Is your calling and election sure?
Time is Running Out: Today is the Day of Salvation
THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
