Sober


Listen Later

1 Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

I’m watching our society erode into darkness. The moral decline of mankind has become exceedingly corrupt. The world has come full circle mirroring the days of Noah. Our world is filled with the acceptance of transgenderism, homosexuality, pedophilia, beastiality, pornography, adultery, promiscuous sex, nakedness, witchcraft, idolism, coveting, murder, abortion, drunkenness, drug addiction, and abuse, denial of the truth and a disregarding of commonsense. Sobriety is forsaken by the masses and the true God the creator of the heavens and earth is not feared today in our society.

Genesis 6:5-8 ¶ And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

The Church, the Body of Jesus Christ has once again found favor in the eye’s of the Lord. Jehovah-jireh. He has provided a way back to Him through the sacrifice and shed blood of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ!

The world is filled with religions, and denominations, and rules, and regulations of mankind. There are churches that have meeting up to three times a day and they have daycare and coffee shops and dance music and video games for the kids. They have large and small group meetings.

These churches also have entertainment brought in to the house of the Lord with famous musicians, and artist and all kinds of things that will connect you to a higher power, but they are lacking the One true element that is needed! Truth, conviction, the power of the Holy Ghost!!!

The presence of God!!!

Proverbs 23:21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

We are proud in the spirit, arrogant with our faith, filled with idle bread, and hardhearted to the outcast. The house of the Lord is filled with gossip and indecision. There is no peace because there is no repentance; there is no persecution because there is no witness. There is no testimony because there is no sacrifice. There is no sacrifice because there is no fear.

No fear, no true belief that God is real and all knowing, and everywhere, all-powerful.

Revelation 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

Mystery Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots! The apostate churches that have torn off the doors to the houses of God and have allowed chaos to rain supreme.

Sin is allowed in the houses of God and in the lives of Christians. Search the scriptures and you’ll find that over and over again God’s people wondering down the wayward road of losing.

We don’t want to hear that we shouldn’t be watching cable television.

We don’t want to hear that we shouldn’t be listening to music that is identical with secular music.

We can’t identify Jesus Christ as one who is banging his head to some heavy metal so-called Christian rock group, or bumping His head to some hip hop music that has applied His name to the lyrics.

The world rebels in their wickedness, but still has the sense to see that the church has become corrupt with the things that the world entertains itself with.

I’ve heard many comments by those who are not walking with the Lord remark about the elements of the modern day church.

1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company
