We live in a world of "anything goes" but are still empty, still searching for that thing that would bring us happiness.
When man denies God, he can never have peace.
Man's emptiness can not be filled with the things of this world.
The expression of our moral decline.
For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. - Matthew 24:37
5 The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.
7 So the LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them." - Genesis 6:5-7
Where is our foundation of truth?
Porn is rampant.
The depravity of our mind is endless.
Depravity of our marriages.
The Supreme Court took it upon themselves to redefine marriage.
God has already defined marriage in the bible.
6 But from the beginning of creation, 'God made them male and female.'
7 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife,
8 and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but one flesh.
9 What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate." - Mark 10:6-9
God ordained marriage as being between one man and one woman.
Depravity in our military.
Men and women of Faith are being told to be "politically correct".
They are not to express Christian values.
Depravity in our medicine.
Doctors warn of same sex dangers and are fired.
Abortions are the norm.
Abortions are done a million times a year.
The explanation of our moral decline.
The historical explanation.
We have lost site of the truth.
We have lost knowing right from wrong.
God is irrelevant has become today's thought.
We have become our own god.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. - Romans 1:18-20
1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none who does good.
2 The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.
3 They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one. - Psalm 14:1-3
The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. - Psalm 19:1
God is in charge.
God will send you to hell for your sin.
Ingratitude
Idolatry
Immorality
21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,
25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature;
27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.
29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips,
30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them. - Romans 1:21-32
Decency has left us.
We are not all right without God.
We need His grace to cover our sin.
Thank you Pastor David Jeremiah!
