As we draw nearer to the Day of the Lord, the return of Jesus Christ for HIS church, the sin of both the churches and the world increases.
The church groups remove certain scriptures to allow individuals in the congregation to feel approved in various sins.
The removal of specific scripture removes the "restraint" that was holding antichrist back.
Church groups become weaker and weaker as sin moves into the congregation.
Paul said these would be "perilous times", and they are. (II Tim. 3)

As things grow worse in the churches and in the world, it is even more critical for us to surround our minds daily with Bible and godly exhortations.
Heb. 3:12-14 ... Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
Heb. 10:25 ... exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

These volumes of Exhortations for the Church, help us to focus on the way of God in the midst of much evil in the churches today and in this world.
