When you look around today, there are many illness. These new diseases are becoming more lethal. Here we have this new AIDS epidemic sweeping the nations. Not to mention new poisons are being discovered every day. They are getting more silent and more lethal. Not just the United States is being affected by these poisons or diseases. They are sweeping the Earth like a plague. Not to mention this new flu that's going around. It affects the lungs and causes the victim to have trouble breathing. Already 3 people have died from it. The antidote is being given out sparringly. They try to give it to Seniors and Children only. Doesn't the Bible say that in the end times, the earth will be plagued by new diseases? That the lord will strike against the people of earth?
Look at our teenagers too. Everyday in school, they are judged by how they look. By their weight. Very rarely do you see teenagers being themselves and not worrying what other people think. Yes i must admit that i myself am teenager but as I look around it disgusts me to see it. Teenagers and younger kids are being teased and picked on because they are different. Because they see things differently. Or because they're smart or just because they are dumb. All my life I have tried to fit in. But because I was different, I was picked on constantly. I was the one others picked on. For a time, I even let the peer pressure of my school mates get to me. It is what you see constantly in schools nowadays. No matter what any one tries or does, the creulty and peer pressure will never stop. I beleive that the reason the adults of today are a consequence of the teenagers that were not directed during their school life by God. Were not taught the Bible. Is it by our own faults that we as the people of the United States are ruining ourselves? After all we are the ones that voted to have the bible and God taken from the schools. And yet still we are sparringly allowed to say the pledge of allegiance because it is our nation's anthem. one of the rumours I have recently heard was that some lawyers beleive we should not say the Pledge of Allegiance in school because it says "One nation under God."
Look at the war that is happening over in Iraq. It's all over religion. They beleive that we should be wiped out. That's nonsense. I myself agree with reasoning for wanting to wipe out our nation and yet don't agree with it. I agree that the United States has awry. We revel in temptation and sin. I mean look whats happening with our nation. They have a special school for Gays. In some states there is a propistition to set up a tribute to these Gays. Our Nation has come far from what our Forefathers wanted. We have strayed far from the path. Our television brings things that no one shoud see. I mean they have porns, violence, blasphemy. Even our books, one of the most precious gifts that we, have gone from the path. Why I disagree with the Iraqi's? They think that they have the right to judge us. No one has that right except God and Jesus. It is not for them to decide our punishment. The whole world has a punishment awaiting. It will be destroyed. Only those true to God and beleive that Jesus is his son will be able to survive.
Look around you. The land is being taken over by sinners. We have bars alchohol overrunning the cities and towns. We have prostitues walking the streets. 12 year olds are getting pregnant. There are babies being born out of wedlock and babies being abandoned. Children are being left constantly. They're having to watch abuse of their parents or brothers or sisters or family. They watch violence on the t.v.'s. They are learning young things they should not know. It disgusts me to see this. These children are innocents. It's a question of our morality. How can we let them know these things and let them do them? It's autrocious.
You also see drugs everywhere. No matter what kind of crime, there is usually some kind of drugs involved. It may be legal or not. We've got Teenagers selling to kids who are 8, 9, 10 years old. And it's all for money. These kids get hooked on it and nobody tries to prevent it. Our law enforcement can only do so much. We sit back and let these things happen when we could be out there trying to do something to prevent it. Talking your kids or even other peoples kids can. Volunteering for law enforcement. Donating money to your local police station. In every city, town, or community there is drugs. Most of us turn the other way when we see these things happening.
I don't know about everyone. But the things I see will last a lifetime. Have you ever had a friend or family trapped in dark hole of misery or in drugs? Look around people. We don't have much time left. The end is nearing and I for one don't want to be caught unawares. Let me ask you this. What do you want to be caught doing when Jesus to take his people? Would you rather go to heaven and await in blisful harmony for the remainder of God's people or would you rather be left behind to face the terror and torture of the End Days? Don't wait too long on your dicesion. Time is something that we do not have. For sinners, time is against you and your clock is ticking, counting down to your absolute punishment or reward. I am a sinner but I have chosen God. What will you choose?
