Why the World is in Moral Decline?

Mankind has forgotten the truth, and this is why most of the world is declining morally. The Holy Spirit lives on this planet, but the Bible teaches that mankind has an eternal choice to accept or reject the truth! People have become selfish and have placed greed and money above right living, and the search for God. When people forget God, and suppress His existence, humankind enters an existential crisis and looses it’s identity. Moral decline happened in the times of Noah, and God sent a worldwide flood to destroy mankind. Apart from God, human beings have no real goodness or righteousness in themselves.

When people try to be good apart from belief in God, the source of all goodness they are relying on their own fallen human natures to be in right standing in God’s sight. Apart from the sacrifice of Jesus, mankind has no forgiveness. When religion is suppressed mankind becomes their own god, and becomes an idolatrous people. Idolatry is not just worshiping idols, but it is choosing to worship yourself as God.

This is the sin of pride that Lucifer committed before he became the devil. Human beings are not God, but they are acting like they are gods, which has brought the wrath of the real God to this world, like never before. To be saved from the wrath of God, you must be humble and merciful and believe in the truth, but when you become greedy and selfish, you perpetuate the judgment the world is experiencing right now for turning from God and rejecting the truth.

Pontius Pilate wanted to know if Jesus Christ was telling him the truth, and said to Jesus, (John 18:38) 38 “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him. 39 But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?”

In the bible Jesus says He is the truth, (John 14:6). When the world rejects the claims of Jesus Christ they are left alone, given over to their sins, which is God’s judgment or wrath upon them. This is Mike.

On Christian Marriage. (Short)

On Christian Marriage. (Short) The modern co-habitation crisis has produced a lot of single moms and dads, and has fractured "family units" allowing other family members and relatives to take a bigger role in these "Separated families." There isn't a "one cause" why families have separated or divorced, it is a complicated issue, sometimes resulting in very hard emotions for Society to process. Things like the "millennial sexual revolution" have contributed to the widespread "non-committal" attitude, which in turn has given the traditional marriage the "black eye" it currently has and has turned many Christian men away from seeking a life partner. The more society devalues "traditional marriage" the more co-habitation you will see in all the other generations as well as the Millennials. This is Mike.

Why Christians must show Mutual Concern for One another.

Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. Psalm 142:4. Christians in the church should have mutual concern for one another, this is what it means to be part of the body of Christ, 1 Corinthians 12:25. It’s takes good pastoral leadership to foster this sense of concern, and where it is missing, individuals who are suffering in the church are overlooked and not supported. Every believer needs support and encouragement, but when this is missing, the church divides and loses it power and testimony. Christians live like the world, and become vulnerable to Satan’s attacks when nobody is supporting them outside the church. I used to belong to an evangelical church which had great leadership, and something called small groups. This church felt like a family and I had people who shared my Christian walk with me when I was not in the church building. I have been attending a different denomination that doesn’t hav...

Age of Brokenness.

We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...
