Just let em’ go in traffic

Acts 2:40 And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.”

Our entire world is in a bad state; a self-absorbed society bent on pleasure at all costs, evil at the core, and turing it’s back upon the truths found in the Bible. My nation is in the midst of generational failures, of parents not parenting, reaping the effects of being our children’s friends, not a measure of authority and order. Many have failed them because they knew no better. You can trace it back easily to the changes in society away from church, away from God, to warping the laws of the nation to fit everyone to the point no seemingly truths or laws are there to base upon. We live in a spineless, fluid society that consistently changes as either not to offend, or to enable some hidden or now even open agenda. What was wrong is now right, and we are living in biblical times, closer to the return of Jesus Christ to judge the world. Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! One cannot wonder if God is not sitting there shaking his head at us, wondering how much more he can take of our rebellion, before saying “ENOUGH!”

Does the world around you turn your stomach too? Does the political system raise your blood pressure to the boiling point? Do you wonder when you will snap one day under the pressure of just life in this aggressive selfish society? I have said many times I am gonna snap one day just because of traffic, how aggressive and poorly people drive, thinking they own the road. (If I do, I apologize, and remember Jesus still loves us.) Our society is a perverse generation, I could write a list a mile long of what open sin we have before God, and one 100 miles long of the hidden ones only you and I know about. We need Jesus on a large scale to wake us up, to rattle our cages, to put the FEAR OF GOD upon us, before he returns to judge sin and it is too late!

It can be healthy if these things bother you, but don’t let them direct you. The conviction of sin in your own life is the beginning of the salvation into eternal life. The realization you are lost in sin is a gift from God, him drawing you to himself, awaiting your response to that tug that determines your eternal destiny. Repentance is simply a change, a turning from sin and asking God to forgive you and help you along the new way. Mark 1:15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” If you know something needs to change deep inside of you, that is God pursuing you. Let him give you the “peace that surpasses all understanding” and he will guard your hearts through these tough days in which we find ourselves. You might find it easier to just let them go in traffic.
