MARK MY WORDS: In The Last Days PERILOUS TIMES Will Come...

For [wo]men will be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 

 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 

 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, 

 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof... 

 Little wonder then that the great apostle Paul then adds: From such turn away. 

 And correct my scriptural misapplication if you must, folks, but the context of his words seems to be including so-called 'Christians' as much as it surely is the unbelieving world at large...

So, yep, just as 'not all that glitters is (in fact) gold', not everyone 'naming the name of Christ' Jesus is in reality one of the King's true dinkum kids, but, as the selfsame apostle states elsewhere,

The Lord knoweth them that are [H]is. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from evil.

 Or as the ever eloquent and powerfully used female servant/teacher/preacher of the Lord, Joyce Meyer, puts it so aptly (whether the saying is unique to and/or originates with her or otherwise),
just as parking something in a garage doesn't [ipso facto] make it a car, putting/placing someone inside a church building does not make that person a Christian.

But thankfully the LORD Himself promises that His own angels will - doubtless one day very, very soon - in the end of this world...send forth [H]is angels, and...gather out of [H]is kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity...

End of story. Maranatha.

"But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day."

'When first constrained to separate from the English Church, the Puritans had joined themselves together by a solemn covenant, as the Lord's free people, "to walk together in all His ways made known or to be made known to them." Here was the true spirit of reform, the vital principle of Protestantism. It was with this purpose that the Pilgrims departed from Holland to find a home in the New World... John Robinson, their pastor, who was providentially prevented from accompanying them, [then] said: I charge you before God and His blessed angels to follow me no farther than I have followed Christ, If God should reveal anything to you by any other instrument of His, be as ready to receive it as ever you were to receive any truth of my ministry; for I am very confident the Lord hath more truth yet to shine forth out of His holy word." Were we as willing in this our day of brightest midday sunlight to do as much!

Before the End [of All Things Comes About]/the Final Acts in the Long-Running Drama of the Great Controversy Between Good & Evil/Christ & Satan for Planet Earth, EVERY PRINCIPLE of the American Constitution Will be Revoked...

But let's get something else straight before we go/proceed any further... There's no - self-evident, self-existent, everlasting - 'constitutional right' in the United States of America to an abortion, rather the U S Supreme Court, back in 1972 - in the now much-celebrated/pilloried 'Roe vs Wade' decision - created a constitutionally-supported 'right' to the same... ...something no less a jurist than former, long-serving Ruth Bader Ginsberg herself evidently regarded as very poor law - as such - indeed (however much she in heart agreed with and applauded the particular outcome that eventuated thereby)...
