1 Corinthians 15:58
In these last days, so many things are passing from one form to another. “When the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?”
Because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” Matthew 24:12 Iniquity covers many things that people get involved with that are lacking in righteousness, as well as that which is unjust and wicked. Churches are seeing members of their own congregations, who have particular involvements with material pursuits, self-ambition, worldly associates, etc., that take over their lives, resulting in spiritual indifference and the forsaking of God’s House.
Though the dislike of sound doctrine has always been the trend (2 Timothy 4:3-4), today, we see not just a watering down, but rather a transition from sound doctrine to those things contrary to God’s commandments, and many love to have it so.
Satan’s subtleties continue on every front. Inch by inch, piece by piece, change by change, churches are being robbed of holiness, reverence, humility, conviction, contriteness, and a hunger and thirst for righteousness, unto becoming entertainment centers, where spiritual things are celebrated, and people are made to feel good about themselves as they are.
With each new revised bible, some changes are made in God’s Word that conditions the minds of people to accept the next new version, with some more changes, until after a period of time, this leavening process has leavened the whole lump. This is why God forbids any and all alteration of the inspired scriptures, right along with the admonition that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
The lack of living by faith is responsible for many failures in lives. These failures often result in offense towards the ministries that reprove and rebuke according to God’s Word. For some, their failures outrank their successes, until they feel like their standing in the church has been so eroded, that they leave and seek religious asylum elsewhere. This is the sad result of making decisions that one knows is not according to God’s will and way.
The challenge we all must face, in light of the many struggles of these last days, is “Will you also go away?”
Christian, don’t depart from the faith! By remaining true, constant, and steadfast, when other things are changing, will make you that much more of a vessel of honor in the eyes of the Lord. This gives God that much more reason to reward you in the day when He makes up His jewels! Malachi 3:17
