Getting To Know God 47

You might be thinking: God is having to work extra hard to keep a foothold in the US.

That is what the godless population wants you to think, but there is no truth in it. God has foreseen every event and condition of all peoples for all times. God is not moved by the so-called progress of the godless against the Spirit of God. The godless have gained nothing, only losses have gone their way. The godless can make headway with the godless, but not with the godly. 

OK, you're wondering, then why is it that so many young people are turning away for Christianity? Who would you blame? Let's face it, the Christian community is very diverse and quite often confused about its identity; fighting over the littlest things, making fun of the differences between them, having to be right all the time at the expense of truth, foolishly chasing the charlatan and pettifogger, indoctrinating their parishioners in lieu of leading them. The list goes on. Young people would be flocking to Jesus if Jesus was being represented by loving, caring, followers of Christ instead of followers of tradition or dogma or church polity or nationalized religion. Don't get me wrong their are genuine believers in all denominations, but if you are trying to lead people to a religion, Jesus is still taking a backseat.

Don't be worried about the conditions of the times. God is full aware of the condition of mankind. He has made provisions for times such as these: 2Pe_3:9  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 

The conditions of our times cannot be accurately represented by the ungodly, secular humanist, agnostic, atheist or any man-made religious philosophy. The conditions of the times can be accurately represented by God Himself: 2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 

2Ti 3:2  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 

2Ti 3:3  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 

2Ti 3:4  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 

2Ti 3:5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 

2Ti 3:6  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 

2Ti 3:7  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 

Like I said, don't be worried.
