God wants us to be wise.

What does God say?

Psalm 14:1
“Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!

Remember the parable of  the ten virgins. The Holy Bible tells us that five virgins were fools and five virgins were wise.

Matthew 25:1-4
Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 

God wants us to prepare. He knows that difficult days are coming. It is best to be ready for what is near.

Children are taught in schools that God is not real and that we evolved from apes. Also, teachers who dare to talk about Jesus Christ are fired and sent away. Notice that if you talk about Buddha or Krishna, this is not the case.

Friends, we see Christianity is slowly fading away. Harvard might be very anti-religious today, but it was as a seminary once. Yes, this school was used to train Puritan clergy many years ago.

Colleges deliver relentless attacks on people of faith and claim that we must believe in science. Basically, we are told that religion is a lie and the truth is in science. Well, I do wonder what these scientists will say on Judgment Day.

 

Without the firm belief that there is punishment for doing evil - crime soars. That is what we see now.

Churches also provide fellowship in a sparsely populated, enormous universe. People feel empty without God and know deep within their hearts that something important is missing.

Let us be honest with you. There is too much sin. Dark days are ahead for us. God talks in the bible about the end times and a great falling away.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-3
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

God wants us to become more aware. The last days are near. First comes a falling away. Oh yes, we can see that will soon occur. Then comes the man of sin. God refers to him as the son of perdition and we need to get ready as well as prepare.

Psychologists are saying that religion could disappear by 2041 because people are replacing God with possessions. I do not believe that is our case. Still, we do see a dramatic decline in church attendance that some blame on corona virus. Frankly, that is simply an excuse. People do not want to go. Hey, we could also blame high gas prices.

Most people do not want to go because they do not want to be reminded that we are sinners. Instead, they prefer to stay home and watch TV or play video games.

Please think about what material you are feeding your brain every day and what we see on screens. It is important that we stay ready, as God will come at a moment when we do not expect Him to arrive.
