Matthew 24:12-13 "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

The Bible speaks of a great falling away in the last days (2 Thessalonians 2) before the end of the age arrives, and it seems that we’re seeing it on a grand scale all around us.  Virtually everywhere we look we're watching the decline of morality and ethics — in government, entertainment, and social culture.  It seems hard to deny that we're living in the final days of abounding iniquity which Jesus talked about.

This isn’t an easy time for true believers.  The evil around us can be so discouraging and the darkness so oppressive that it really threatens our ability to walk in love.  Yet the reality of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is brighter and more relevant than ever.  And the inner light of Jesus great love burning in us will be all the more intense in the darkness around us if — and only if, we fill our lives with His Holy Spirit and burn with His last days love.  Anti-Christ culture is permeating our society.  But we respond with the forever culture of Jesus, a culture of supernatural love that will not die.

Take heart and don’t be deceived or discouraged, or allow your love to grow cold.  These signs of the end are simply proof that God is on His throne and His sovereign Word is being fulfilled exactly as He spoke it. Continue in His love.  Radiate His light.  Wherever you are, wherever you go, bring His love.  Love will endure, even forever.
