Jude 17–18 (ESV) — 17 But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of
the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. 18 They said to you,
“In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly
passions.”
NOTE: I don't know
if there has ever been a time when there were more scoffers than there are now.
Some of them exist in the so-called church. Some of them attend our church.
They don't really believe the scriptures are the word of God--well, at least their
actions don't communicate it. In our country, more people identify as atheists
than as any other religious group -- we are becoming, if not already, a godless
nation. We are following our own ungodly passions. We look a lot like Sodom and
Gomorrah. What is wrong is celebrated; what is right is ridiculed. The only
question left is, how long O, Lord? We are certainly not beyond revival and we
are certainly candidates for grace. But, I think with 61M aborted babies since
1973 in the US and 1,500M aborted babies worldwide, God's judgment is more
likely.
PRAYER: Father, I
don't feel the desire to pray for us or mercy. I do pray you might open the
eyes of those who will become elect and save them from the ungodly way of life
they are living. And I pray for those who truly are believers in the Lord Jesus
Christ, may we live as we SHOULD!
