VOLUME 3 - Product Description
Sin has been with us since Adam ... So what makes the current time so different?
In the United States the sins cited in the Bible have gone on as long as any of us can remember. So what makes this current time so different?
We have entered a time in the United States where society as a whole commands us to accept sins set forth in Bible as approved among men and women today.
Public figures are afraid to say a word against homosexuals/lesbians, even when they know these acts to be sins according to Bible and laws of God.
A blanket of fear has been tossed over the people today.
Restraints against lawlessness in the sight of God are being removed very quickly in our society today.
At one point, even a very short time ago, the restraints against sin were voiced by the masses, even by those who did not belong to God.
If you go back to the 1940’s, you will see the restraint of the masses in place... the sins of abortion, fornication, adultery, homosexual, lesbian were not approved by the masses... those who did these sins did them in private, in secret, because the restraint against the sin was in place.
When restraint is removed... when they no longer say, "What will people think about what I am doing"... then antichrist (the man of lawlessness) is free to reign... but not in the hearts of the truly godly.
What we are seeing today in the churches, as well as in the world, is a removal of restraint which allows the man of lawlessness, antichrist, to enter and set up freedom to sin and to be approved in sin and that sets the stage for the return of Jesus Christ according to what the apostle Paul said in 2 Thess 2.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first (churches falling away from Bible), and that man of sin (NIV “man of lawlessness) be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
And what are we, the godly, to do today ...this is told us in following:
Heb 10 … 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
More than ever before, we who are godly must choose to surround our minds daily with Bible and godly exhortations
This book (and the other volumes of Exhortations For The Church) provide vehicles to help us to keep our minds focused and to refocus on the doctrines of Christ as presented in the Bible.
In this ungodly time, we need all the godly exhortations we can find.
That is what this book contains.
