I've been weary of it myself, so you are not alone. Take heart, though. Our battles are almost over. The Lord Jesus's coming to catch away his bride is so very soon, even at the doors. So do not faint, nor be weary in well doing. He (in your case, she) that endureth to the end shall be saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Prov. 26-12) When the Israelites did not pass down to their descendants the way to obey the Lord's commandments, the nation faltered and individuals did what was right in their own eyes. As a result they did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. (Judg. 2:10-12) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are told to keep looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Peter could not walk on water looking down at the waves. He had to keep his eyes on the glorious face of Jesus. When we look into His eyes, the things of earth grow strangely dim, in the light of his Glory and Grace. So turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in his wonderful face.

His will will be done. The world has to get worse before the end will come - as a testament to man's fallen nature, the righteousness of God's judgement against those in rebellion, and God's ability to save even the most wretched among us.

I refresh my mind in scriptures after scriptures to attach my emotion to, that gives me comfort. Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without greed, and be content with such things as ye have, for He hath said I will never leave thee, nor forsaks thee. Psalm 119:65 Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord, according unto thy word. Teach me good judgment and knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been called uptight that because I don't let my spiritual values down so I can join others in doing what they considered right. What is there to do then? pray and stay firm in our faith and ask our Father to hold on to us tight and to keep us in His truth until the end. It is wonderful that someone feels the same as I do in regards to all the lawlessness in this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
