Faithlessness: A Sign of the End
Luke 18:8 (New International Version) "I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
The apostle Paul writes that "evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived" (2 Tim. 3:13, NKJV). People today are like what they were when Moses wrote the Pentateuch or Paul his epistles. One could argue, however, that our society today makes it easier to sin, that it all but encourages it. In other words, our environment grows ever more amenable to sin, and our fallen human natures naturally will take advantage of it. Self-centeredness constantly is promoted. Advertising hammers away at us to gratify ourselves: why wait, why deny ourselves, why sacrifice, why not go along with everyone else? Constantly we hear, "Indulge yourself because you deserve it" or the like.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 (New International Version) Godlessness in the Last Days "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God
