A Great Falling Away

In 2 Thessalonians chapter2, the apostle Paul referenced a great falling away prior to coming of the Lord, and the revealing of the Antichrist. Could we be living in just such a time?

I can only speak from personal observation, but in my 36 years of being a disciple of Jesus Christ I have never seen such a low spiritual tide in the Church. Allow me to list just a few of the issues that lead me to this conclusion:

There is little burden for the lost
Prayer is little more than a token thing- a religious formality
Entertainment has taken center stage in the Church
Biblical holiness is considered archaic- there is little difference from the world
There is little reverence for God. It's all about being "casual"
Comfort and convenience has replaced commitment

These are a few reasons (among many others) to be very concerned for those who profess salvation!

It is past time to call the Church back to a Biblical faith which confronts all of the "whosoevers" that come to Christ with the reality of a radical change in lifestyle, and a radical coming out of the world to a separated life of holiness and commitment!

By God's grace, may we not be among the masses who will fall away from the faith as the end approaches!

God bless
