2nd Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
In our day currently there are many who are nearing the threshold of no return, by deliberately believing numerous lies, and no doubt, the damage is taking a heavy toll on hearts and minds, as some seem more and more unable to come to grips with reality. If it were just individuals alone involved in the game of deception and falsehoods, we could say they are doing themselves great disservice.
But when entire populations are at stake, when the national interest is being threatened, then we may know that we are already in unchartered waters, and if there isn’t any definite reversal of current trends, we are scheduled to lie ourselves into eternal night. As Christians, we are to stay as far away as possible from any semblance of deliberately believing lies in any way fashion or form.
God forbid that we do any wrong, but if we do, we should never try to make it seem right, for doing so interferes and dangerously disrupts our ability to decipher truth from error. And wherever this becomes the case on a national level, the close of probation isn’t far behind, since God essentially has run out of viable options in His efforts to reach persons in high and low places.
1st John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
