We continue on the series Signs of the End Time:
2) The Signs of Society
Today bible verse sounds like a typical evening newscast today!
Notice the three things it says people will love in the end times: self, money,
and pleasure.
The love of self is Humanism — the belief that Man can
accomplish anything on his own. The love of money is Materialism. When Humanism
is your religion, your god will always be money. The love of pleasure is the
third love that is mentioned. This is Hedonism, the lifestyle that is always
produced by Humanism and Materialism.
But God cannot be mocked (Galatians 6:7). He
therefore sees to it that when people chose Humanism, Materialism, and
Hedonism, the payoff is always Nihilism — which is a fancy philosophical word
for despair.
Need I emphasize that our world is wallowing in despair
today? We live in a society plagued by abortion, homosexuality, domestic
violence, child molestation, blasphemy, pornography, alcoholism, drug abuse and
gambling.
Like the days of the Judges in the Old Testament, people are
doing what is right in their own eyes, and the result is that people are
calling evil good and good evil (Isaiah 5:20).
Rebellion is the order of the day. Betrayal is on the rise, backstabbing is the new norm. Abnormal is becoming the new normal. Do not be surprise because many more will still happen. Nations are throwing God away from the society. The world thinks they don't need God.
But as believers, these are signs to let us know that the end has started. We should be careful and prayerful lest we fall victims.
We continue on this series tomorrow..... Do have a blessed day.
