One of the signs of the end times or, more accurately, the end of the
age is the coldness of people. In Matt. 24, it tells of people getting
cold hearts. You can see it everywhere. (Matthew 24:11-12, "And many
false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity
shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." As always, please read
the scriptures around these and get the full idea of what is being
talked about here. Never ever take a person’s word for God’s Word
without investigating it yourself.)
When I was growing up, people were polite to each other. They cared if a
neighbor got sick or was hurt in a car accident or had other big
problems. Most people don’t even know their neighbors let alone care
about them anymore. If I’ve just insulted you then you should know that
this is also one of the signs, people getting upset or insulted over the
smallest things. Everyone is ready to sue someone over the dumbest and
most petty stuff.
Another way you can tell about coldness of heart is how self serving a
person is. If it’s more important that they get their way even if it
hurts others, that too, is a sign of the end of the age. If you are an
older person like I am, well not THAT old, then you might remember a
time when things simply were not like this. Haven’t you found yourself
saying " I just wish it was like it used to be when people cared about
others and quit worrying so much about themselves."
Being a good neighbor these days can get you sued, injured or dead.
Those that you save from whatever problem might just decide you are the
one that injured them. Big dollars there. If you have been in a cave for
the last several years, let me remind you to check out the television.
Turn the channels to all those court shows….Judge this guy and Judge
that woman. Many years ago, it was Judge Wapner. Now, it’s so many
judges that you can’t count them all. And what do you suppose is the
reason why these shows are so popular? Because someone is having a
verbal cat fight with a neighbor, relative, ex-spouse, ex-love interest
or whatever else. And there is that almighty dollar too. Ah, what we
will and will not do for a buck.
Maybe, despite those who believe otherwise, we ought to get back to our
roots. No, not just our ancestors but where we began….with our Lord
Jesus. If you have not given your life to Jesus or if you have but are
not where you should be in the Lord, please consider coming to the Lord
before the coldness of this world hits you where it truly hurts, in your
spirit. Jesus died on the cross for you. Yes, YOU! Please ask Him to
forgive you of your sins and then ask Him to come in. He is knocking at
the door to your heart right this minute. If you have asked Him into
your heart, welcome to the family of God! Now would be a good time to go
get that Bible that you have been meaning to open someday.
