Every generation is full of people. Every generation of people has two kinds of people. The two kinds of people are the same in ever generation. On one hand, you have the people who are aware of their spiritual poverty. These are the ones who respond to the call of God upon their lives. The recognize the existence of God. They realize their responsibility to God, their Creator. They respond with faith when hearing the message of the gospel. They are taken out of darkness and transferred into the Kingdom of Light, the Kingdom of God. But, every generation has another kind of people. These are the ones who are quite happy to let their own sense of worthiness govern their perspective of anyone who calls them to the gospel of Christ. They will mock anyone who preaches to them, no matter how the message is being presented. They will hate the preacher, because they already hate and have rejected God. These are the ones whom Jesus said prefer the darkness over the light because their deeds are evil (John 3:16ff.).
