Default Increase of Wickedness

AMOS 8:11
11 "The days are coming," declares the Sovereign LORD,
"when I will send a famine through the land—
not a famine of food or a thirst for water,
but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.

Dare I suggest some of those who are responsible for the rise in violence and decay of our society?

Hillary Clinton argues, "Children should have a right to be permitted to decide their own future if they are competent." "Decisions about motherhood and abortion, schooling, cosmetic surgery, treatment of venereal disease, or employment, and others where the decision or lack of one will significantly affect the child's future should not be made unilaterally by parents."
http://www.jeremiahproject.com/prophecy/whosresponsible.html

People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-- having a form of godliness but denying its power.
[2 Timothy 3:2-5]



The Apostle Paul said that in the last days man would be "brutal." The Greek, 'anemeros' literally means "untamed, savage, or brutal." He also said that the last days man would be not be lovers of the good - possibly better translated as "haters of the good."

Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. - Romans 1:28-32

Yes, Brother, you are right.
America has become scary.
The place I always felt safe in, I no longer do.
Things will only get worse and worse til the day Christ returns.

I sat at my window this morning thinking about the signs Christ pointed out to us, one being a change in seasons. Here it is going on the end of October, We are having wintery nights and the trees are still green. Normally they all would have turned by the end of September~

Funny, but as I watched, here all alone, it was as though Christ was saying, "This is what I spoke of to watch for".
I heard no audible voice but felt Him speak to my heart.

There's nothing like being alone with our Creator. If we are willing to listen He will come in loud and clear.
The only thing I can figure is for those who do not believe is that they just haven't read His Word, but then again if one does not except the Holy Spirit then one cannot receive His message. Evrything the Bible speaks about for a Generation is taking place, you can just click on those links I posted to see that. It is not even necessary to click on the link all we have to do is listen to the News and look around to see that we have arrived. Society is a MESS!
Yet! We have the security of knowing that we have a gracious and loving Father who is watching over us.

“The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?"
[Jeremiah 17:9]

If people could let the Word of God to frame their heart
Hebrews 11:3
"By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible."

If the Heart is framed by the Word of God:

Invisible Charature of God [Love, Hope, Faith, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness, self-control, virtue, knowledge,godliness]will become visible to Human Beings way of Living

Sad it's not the case nower days, even to the Church........Can we please Preach the Word of God with truth and sincerity just like Jonah did, the whole Ninever will repent

Sorry if this off topic

Increase of wickedness- it was propesied and is to be expected- but the only effect it should have on us is to break our hearts for the lost- the darker the night the brighter the light does shine.

Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Eph 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

I do believe as things grow worse, our spiritual lives will grow stronger, for those of us who believe!
