"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!" ( 2 Timothy 3:1-5 NKJV) Thus the Bible predicted almost two thousand years ago.
There is disagreement about whether the US was ever a "Christian" nation. I can't imagine anyone making the claim today. One sign of a pagan society is a continual need for "victims," and these are paraded before us daily in the media. We learn about murder and rape and victimization.
Our society believes that animals are more important than people although only humans are made in the image of God. ( Genesis 1:26-28) We have rejected God's creation of marriage between one man and one woman. We glorify the sensual and the perverse. Children are held to be smarter than their parents. Consideration for others is lost. We have slaughtered about sixty million unborn children, creating a death toll beyond that of Hitler or Stalin or Mao. Our governments, designed to protect our freedoms, take more away each day. We Christians hide in our churches.
"For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will the end be of those who do not obey the gospel of God? Now 'if the righteous one is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?" (1 Peter 4:17-18 NKJV)
