“And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.” Matthew 24:10.
“Because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” Matthew 24:12.
Our nation is at a crossroad. Mass shootings, assaults, political strife, racial tensions, gang violence, anarchy, riots and lawlessness are bringing us to a breaking point. The current trends are not sustainable.

With all the advancements in human civilization one would think that in this modern era we were headed towards a time of peace and brotherhood.

Every day news reports validate the words of scripture which reveal to us that we are truly living in the end-times. Our world is daily becoming more dangerous as evil is intensifying.

Before our world reaches the point of no return, the gospel of Christ must be proclaimed louder and clearer than it has been. Before society completely disintegrates and falls to pieces, those caught up in sin and iniquity must be reached with God’s last message of mercy. God’s people must pray and work for souls in the hopes that some can turn to Jesus before it’s too late.
“The conditions prevailing in society, and especially in the great cities of the nations, proclaim in thunder tones that the hour of God’s judgment is come and that the end of all things earthly is at hand. We are standing on the threshold of the crisis of the ages. In quick succession the judgments of God will follow one another—fire, and flood, and earthquake, with war and bloodshed. We are not to be surprised at this time by events both great and decisive; for the angel of mercy cannot remain much longer to shelter the impenitent” (Prophets and Kings 278).
