When we look at society and say that it is a mess, we are saying that our individual lives are a mess. I am saying this because we make up the society we are in. If it were not for people, then there would be no society. Therefore, if society is in a morally bad shape, that means we as individuals are in bad shape morally rather you want to accept this or not. We all have a responsibility for the outcome of were this world is going. Until we take our individual responsibility, it will continue to get worse.
This all is coming to my mind because I live in the melting pot of society, New York City, and I am able to witness a lot of things. The world, as we know it, is coming to an end. We only have a little time left and we have to correct the wrongs we have done. The wrongs, the sins we have committed. We are looking at the consequences of the problem(sin) when we see all of the wickedness in the world. I hate to watch the news because it is constantly speaking about wars, rapes, abuses, murders, sexual immorality, homosexuality, impurities and the like. I can't watch a TV show without some sexual innuendo being use or them pushing that being gay is "natural" and something that is normal. Sin is sin. Sex outside of marriage is sin. Homosexuality is sin. Cursing, lying, gossiping, slandering, murder, evil thoughts, over eating, drunkenness, pride, conceitedness or arrogance, all are sin. This is so abundant in our society and many minds are blinded from this state. These things and more are the problems in our world. The solution for the problem is being in Jesus, following him, repenting of your sins and living for Him. This begins to correct the problem.
We try to use social professions to correct them all, but actually we just put band aides on them without truly healing the wound. If a person is not in Jesus, they will continue to be in sin rather a situation changes or not and it will continue to get worse in some form (inward or outward).
Punishments may be given out and you may even feel the consequence of your decisions, but the core of the problem will still be there if you don't repent of it.
Jesus says, "Repent or you will perish." This society is perishing because of the lack of repentance of our individual hearts.
I write this because I love you and I hope that we will all change so that we can be home with the Father one day. He is patiently waiting for us all, but His patience is going to run out one day, so, while you have the chance, please repent, confess your sins, and be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins so that you can receive the gift of the Holy Spirit which is a guarantee that you will have a place, in heaven, at home with our Father.
