An age that can not acknowledge Truth

We are in such a conceded age. The people of power in our age make no bones about showing that they place power and money above all other things. We live in an age that is marked by worship of "a god of forces", the power of economic might and the infallibility of those in power. Yet as I look I see the power they think they have built on such imaginary foundations to see they must be delusional. The foolish builders who have no foundation but that of sand, building in flood plain so they will be near the river.

Lord God, your judgement comes soon as it is written that "...in the last days, People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather then lovers of God - having a form of godliness but denying its power." (2Tim3:1-5)

These are dark days for our world, in the economic, political and religious realms we look to money and power, not to the needs and God, the fulfiller of needs.
