For This Unprecedented Age...

For this unprecedented age of immorality;  of abortion, adultery, homosexuality, transgenderism, mass confusion, child neglect and abuse, agnosticism, atheism, theism and paganism on and on it goes; there is only one cure! Repentance and belief in the One True God! Then as belief yields fruits of repentance/obedience to Him through His Word, only then can any real cure begin!In this age of unprecedented distractionesp. through the buffet of options offered through modern technology,God's still, small Voice can be drowned outuntil it goes away...!!!🙏🙏Without careful, prayerful awareness we are all at the riskof drowning the quietness with just enough noiseto keep us from thinking too deeply/aka, hearing God speak! (I use the phrase 'unprecedented' cautiously but also with awarenessto the reality that due to modern technology and approval by the powers that be, access tocertain atrocities has become medically promoted/commonplacelike never before!) Thus, thanks in part to modern technologywe are living in an age of unprecedented opportunity and opposition! The cure for the problem is what it has always been...2 Chron.7:14if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
