On this page I will be reporting the events happening in the World and compare them with what the Scriptures say about the times we are living in, and the cause of the conditions our Nation and Nations around the world find themselves in, a state of crisis.
The State of Christianity Today
Much like the people of God during the time of the prophet Jeremiah, the modern Christian community has largely strayed from God’s teachings. Many have departed from the foundational teachings of Jesus and His apostles, losing sight of their Judeo-Christian roots (Acts 11:26). Instead of preaching the gospel of the coming Kingdom of God and the way of God (John 15:10, 20), many Christian leaders focus on human interpretations of Christ while failing to hold both the people and government accountable to His teachings.
Distortion of God’s Word
Theological institutions and religious philosophies have misrepresented the words of Christ and His apostles, leading to widespread belief in a false gospel. This misunderstanding has distorted the concepts of God’s love and mercy, resulting in worship that is in vain (2 Peter 3:16; Psalm 56:5).
The Missing Element: Repentance
One of the most critical aspects of true faith—repentance—has been overlooked. Christian theologians have not emphasized the necessity of turning back to God, as Christ commanded (Acts 3:19; Jeremiah 2:11-13; 23:21-22,32). This neglect has contributed to moral decline, societal chaos, and corruption among government leaders without accountability or consequence.
A Call to Return to True Faith
As early as 68 A.D., Jude warned about those who were distorting God’s grace as a license to sin. Today, Christianity often promotes inclusion and self-determination over obedience to God’s commands (Jude 3-4). However, believers are called to “contend for the faith that was once delivered to the saints.” Do not accept distortions of God’s Word without seeking the truth for yourself. Christ did not abolish obedience through grace or faith—these are misconceptions wrongly attributed to Paul. In fact, Paul emphasized the importance of keeping God’s commandments (1 Corinthians 7:19; Romans 3:31; 6:1-2).
While salvation is by grace, this grace is not a justification for continuing in sin (Ezekiel 18:20-21; Hebrews 10:26). Christ bore our past sins on the cross, not the law itself. A truly repentant heart will naturally seek to follow God’s commandments and His appointed times (Romans 3:21-25; 1 John 2:1-5; Colossians 2:16).
The Words of Jesus
Jesus Himself warned that not everyone who claims to follow Him will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Instead, only those who do the will of the Father will be accepted. He cautioned against lawlessness:
Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness (1 John 3:1-4).’” Jesus made it clear—He did not come to abolish the law. He remains the same yesterday (Genesis 26:5), today (Matthew 5:17-19), and forever (Revelation 14:12).
